Fairy Tail: Forever
Chapter 1: Ame Razerclaw
When Ame woke up one morning, she didn't expect to be staring straight into the eyes of her beloved cat.
Her cat was sitting on top of her, staring at her with its golden eyes. Now, seeing her cat was great and all, but it wasn't when it was going to give her a heart attack the first thing in a morning. Waking up from a lovely dream… only to be scared shitless when you woke up. Not the best thing in the world.
Letting out a surprised scream, she jumped out of bed and crashed onto the floor. Letting out a moan before getting up while rubbing the newly formed bump, she looked at her cat angrily.
"Ichi! Why'd you do that?" She asked while huffing childishly. Ichi, her cat, let out a meow before waving its tail in front of her. Ame focused her attention on Ichi's tail, and realized that it was puffed up and was standing up straight. Oh.
"Oh, sorry Ichi." Ame stood and patted the top of Ichi's head apologetically. "I thought you were trying to give me a heart attack!" Ichi stared at its owner like it was saying, 'Really? Why would I intentionally kill my owner?' But Ame didn't pay any attention to that and focused on Ichi's tail. Grabbing a brush from a nearby drawer, she sat on her bed and she hummed cheerfully as she brushed its tail.
Ichi's tail puffing up in the morning was usually a sign for Ame. It meant something big was going to happen today. That 'something big' was usually a good thing but when it was puffing up too much, it could be bad too. Now, you might be thinking, how could a normal cat do that? Well, she wasn't any ordinary cat, she was Ame's cat, and everything Ame owns seems to be weird. Some say that a toothbrush was floating at night and it came out from Ame's window but Ame didn't think it was weird. She was a mage with Levitation magic after all; maybe some magic unintentionally entered the things she owned or something and she haven't completely mastered her ability yet. She just learned about her power 2 years ago after all, and it was not easy to control.
After brushing her cat's tail, she got up from the bed and stretched. "Mm, this is day is gonna be fun!" She said enthusiastically while grinning, revealing her canine teeth. "Time to get ready and head straight for the forest!" She rushed to her closet and put on her clothes, a blue short sleeved hoodie with the words 'Live on!' with a cat face on the front, white shorts and long purple colored socks. Heading into the bathroom, she brushed her teeth, washed her face and combed her shoulder length black hair. After that, she went out of the bedroom and found Ichi sitting impatiently at the door. Letting out another grin, she wore her golden bracelet and black shoes before opening the door and rushing out with Ichi.
Ichi followed her wherever she went. It was a little odd, but comforting to know that a friend was forever at her side. The two of them rushed through the halls of Fairy Hills, a girl's dormitory for girls (Girls only!) in Fairy Tail, greeting everyone they met. Along the way, she bumped into a blue haired mage. Her eyes lit up as she realized who it was and tackled her into a hug.
"Good morning Levy!" She greeted her cheerfully. A smile was formed on Levy's face as she greeted her back.
"Good morning to you too Ame!"
Levy Mcgarden, the bookworm of her guild, Fairy Tail. She was a solid script mage and pretty good one in fact. Levy was the one Ame went to for books; the girl's dorm was filled to the brim with many different kinds of books, heck, Levy even had more than 3 dictionaries! To Ame, it was amazing that Levy had so many books and the blue haired bookworm was fun to hang out with. She was small like Ame, and the two of them got along good because of that. Also the fact that their personalities are similar adds in.
"So, is Erza back yet?" Ame asked as she detached herself from Levy. Levy shook her head. "Not yet Ame. I think she'll be back soon but I'm not so sure." Ame pouted. Erza, one of her friends, was an S class mage and was on a mission that took a few days. It was little lonely without her around Fairy Hills.
"Aw, I hope she gets back soon. It's lonely without her." Ame said as Levy giggled. "Yeah, but on the other hand we don't have to worry about her scolding us about every little thing."
"Well that's true." Ame nodded. "I remember her yelling at me, "Ame! Stop drooling when you're sleeping!" But I don't drool!" She turned to Levy. "Do I?"
"Um…" Levy avoided her eyes.
"Levy!"
"A-Anyway!" She squeaked. Levy look behind her. "Look, there's Bisca! Wait, Bisca?"
"Really?" Ame looked behind quickly and saw the green haired sharpshooter walking towards them. Inwardly, Levy sighed and thanked the fact that Ame was so easy to distract. "Bisca!" Ame yelled, waving her hand. Bisca smiled at Ame's antics. "Hi Ame, Levy."
"Bisca? You're still here? I thought you went on a mission with Alzack?" Levy asked. Bisca shook her head.
"I was on my way to the guild. You girls want to come with me?" Bisca asked. Ame shook her head while Levy agreed.
"Sorry Levy and Bisca. Ichi and I have something to do before we go to the guild. I'll see you later!" Ame waved to the two as she took off running with Ichi on her shoulders. Bisca and Levy watched her take off running with a smile.
"She's as energetic as ever." Bisca commented while Levy laughed.
"You know Ame, she's a morning person."
"She's the most energetic morning person ever though." Bisaca walked off with Levy and the two started talking about various things ranging from Alzack and books.
Meanwhile, Ame just exited Fairy Hills and was running straight for the town of Magnolia with Ichi on her shoulders. She met many people and greeted all of them. They all happily greeted back. That was one of reasons why she loved Magnolia; all the people were so friendly and happy. Ichi also greeted everyone in its own way, by meowing of course. Ichi also meowed a greeting to other cats around too.
When they passed by a café, she stopped before walking backwards to read the sign. It said, 'Lunar Café, where all the most delicious treats are!'
"Lunar café? I never heard of that before." She looked at Ichi questionably. Ichi just stared back with an equally confused expression. Ame took one more careful look at the café. Inside, she could smell fresh food. Her mouth started to water. Now that she thought about it, she forgot to eat breakfast! As if on cue, her stomach grumbled.
"Nothing good comes from an empty stomach." She quoted before laughing. "Might as well have breakfast, let's go Ichi!" Ichi let out another meow, Ichi must have also smelt food. They entered the café.
It was a simple yet oddly comforting café. The walls were painted a light shade of purple with and if you looked at the ceiling closely, you could see faint glowing figures of stars and moons. There were no customers in the café so it was very quiet. At the counter, there was a lady with her lavender colored hair in a high ponytail and deep blue eyes with her arms on the counter and her head held in one. Her eyes flickered to Ame and Ichi when they entered. When Ame's and her eyes met, Ame felt a large blast of magic power. Taken aback by the power, she took a step back and Ichi let out a fearful meow. The lady kept her eyes on Ame and Ame recognized that expression. She was challenging her, for what she didn't know, but this was a challenge, and Ame wasn't going to lose.
Taking a step forward bravely, she stared at the lady and Ichi sat on the floor, watching its master and the lady fight. The lady raised a delicate eyebrow at her action before smirking. Tearing her gaze away from Ame, she let out a soft chuckle before getting up from the counter and left. Dumbfounded, Ame could only stare at the spot the lady once was. Ichi let out a meow and bit Ame's leg. Feeling pain in her leg, Ame snapped out of her dumbfounded state and let out a loud 'Ow!' Looking down to see Ichi, she blinked at Ichi before bending down and rubbing the bite mark.
"Ichi, that hurt! Why'd you do that?" Ichi just let out a slightly mischievous meow before heading towards a table. A pout formed on Ame's face as she walked towards the table. She sat down in one chair while Ichi sat on another.
"Alright, time to order!" Ame said happily and her hand reached for the menu. Before she could grab it though, a plate of croissants, a cup of tea and a saucer of milk was placed on her table. Looking up, she saw the same lady from before.
"Um, lady but I haven't-"
"It's special." The lady cut her off. "You didn't run when I challenged you. You have spunk, not like the other half-assed weaklings who call themselves 'strong' mages. Hah, if that was their level of 'strong' then they still have a long way to go before they can even set a foot in here." She scoffed. "So here is an award for being the first customer in Lunar Café." Ame only stared at her dumbly. The lady chuckled at her expression before taking a seat. Deciding not to mind, Ame took a croissant and bit into it while Ichi licked the milk.
A rush of different flavors headed into her mouth and Ame almost dropped the croissant in shock. Seeing her shocked expression, the lady smirked and let out a small sound of laughter. "Good isn't it?" Ame turned to the lady and her eyes were sparkling. The lady was a little taken aback as Ame jumped and hugged her.
"This is the best breakfast ever! Thank you purple haired lady!" Ame thanked her happily and started to eat faster. The lady sweatdropped at Ame's comment and action. 'This girl is weird.' She thought as she watched Ame devour another croissant. 'And she eats a lot for someone her size.' She eyed the short, golden eyed girl.
"So anyway, what's your name lady?" Ame asked while eating. Bits of croissants were flying but the lady didn't seem to mind. She answered Ame's question, "Lunar Crow. What's yours little girl?" At her question, Ame immediately faced her and pouted.
"I'm not a little girl!"
"You are." Lunar said as she stared down at the tiny black haired girl. Lunar was a lot taller than Ame so she had to look down to meet Ame's eyes. Ame puffed up her cheeks angrily. "I'm not! I'm a big girl!" Lunar let out a chuckle. Ame just huffed angrily and turned away from her. Lunar smiled at her action. She was like a five year old child.
"So what's your name, big girl?" Lunar asked casually which caused Ame to face her again. Ame stared into her eyes before saying, "I'm Ame Razerclaw! The strongest mage in Fairy Tail!" She smiled proudly. Lunar raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Okay, so I'm not." Ame deflated a little while Ichi snickered silently at the sidelines. "But I will be one day! I promised somebody! Even though I keep losing against Erza…"
"You promised somebody?" Lunar asked curiously as Ame picked up the cup of tea. "Uh huh!" She nodded brightly and drank the tea. Ichi finished its milk before bounding over to Ame and sitting on her shoulder. After drinking her tea, Ame let out a satisfied sigh. Standing up and stretching, she grinned brightly at Lunar. "Well thanks Lunar! Now if you excuse me, I gotta go! Bye bi!" She ran out of the café with Lunar's eyes following her. When Ame was gone, Lunar let out a small chuckle before standing up.
"A promise eh?" She said thoughtfully as she gathered up the plates. "I haven't heard that word in years." She smiled sadly before heading towards the kitchen.
With Ame, she was jumping around greeting everyone like before. She walked through the streets and finally, she was at the east side of Magnolia. In front of her was a forest, the east forest. Smiling as Ichi purred lightly beside her, she walked to the edge of the forest, before bending down and dud her nails into the ground.
She began digging with Ichi helping her. The two worked hard, and finally they hit something. Ame's eyes lit up with joy and Ichi let out a happy purr. The thing they hit was a small silver box. Ame lifted it off the ground carefully and looked around to see if anyone was around. Sensing that no one was near, she opened the box to reveal a silver necklace. The pendent was a small sapphire colored dragon with shiny blue eyes. Ichi meowed and Ame smiled.
"I wonder how long it's been huh Ichi?" Ame giggled and stared at the dragon on the necklace. "Hi Gem, how are you? How are Mami and Papa doing? Are you okay? I haven't seen you in a long time; I hope you're not worried. I came here to see you and Ichi's here too." Ichi let out a happy purr and rubbed its face on the dragon. Ame giggled.
Just like that, the two spent majority of the day talking. They didn't care about anything else and just kept talking. Until Ame looked up and saw the orange sky turning darker, she said "Bye bi" and put back the necklace and buried it. Ichi let out a sad purr before Ame rubbed its ears.
"Come on, let's go to the guild."
The two left the forest and went to the guild. When they arrived, they both opened the doors and saw everybody wreaking havoc as usual. Ame grinned as she spotted Levy reading at a table. Deciding to use the chaos as a cover, she sneaked behind Levy and tackled her from behind. "Levy!" Due to surprise, she dropped her book and turned around. Her shocked look was immediately replaced with a look of relief?
"Ame! Where were you the whole day? I was worried!" Levy scolded her and Ame sheepishly smiled. "I lost track of time." Levy pouted but smiled after that. "Anyway, it's a little quiet without Natsu, don't you think?"
"Well it can't be helped." Levy replied. "He's usually the one to start a battle after all." Ame nodded.
"He went to Hargeon right? To find a 'Salamander' and 'Igneel'?" Ame remembered. Levy nodded.
"I hope they can find Igneel. It would be great for them and we could have a party with a real life dragon too!" Ame shouted with stars in her eyes while Levy thought, 'But there's no way that a dragon would be in Hargeon town... Right?'
Levy continued reading her book and after a while, Ame got bored just watching Levy. Her eyes looked around the guild, trying to find something amusing, and her eyes landed on one guy sleeping in a corner. His name was Coyote Egret. His hair was an unnatural steel gray, and he has red eyes that made Ame curious. She had always wondered whether red eyes were natural or not. You don't really see any red eyes around these parts, but her eye color being golden yellow, who was she to say anything? He was the kind of guy who loved to sleep and had a hot headed temper. He was one of the people that Ame found interesting, partly because his eyebrows are always drawn together and his face set in a scowl. When he sleeps though, it's a whole different story.
Just then, the doors opened and Ame's eyes flitted to the doors. Soon, there was a loud voice, "I don't care who it is, fight me!"
At the doors, there was girl whose name was Kyuki Hazunami. She didn't seem to be in a good mood though, she was scowling furiously. She was also one of the people Ame found interesting. Kyuki was tough, but was pretty fun once you know her. Even if she's a battle maniac like Natsu.
"Kyuki!" Ame shouted and ran towards her, thinking that maybe Kyuki could cure her boredom. Kyuki spotted her coming and mistook Ame running to her for a challenge. Growling, she ran towards Ame and aimed a punch at her. Lucky for Ame's quick reflexes, she jumped into the air and landed behind her.
"Woah, Kyuki calm down!" Ame tried talking but Kyuki just aimed another punch at her. Ame dodged it and decided to stop talking. Jumping over Kyuki, she aimed at a weak spot on her neck and kicked it. Startled by the sudden attack and pain, Kyuki let out a gasp and stumbled. But not wanting to give up, she regained her balace and aimed another punch. Ame dodged it but Kyuki continued attacking. It went on endlessly, and many people in the guild watched them. Ame even heard bets being tossed around, but she was too busy concentrating on trying to dodge Kyuki's fists that she hadn't heard them much.
As Kyuki punched and kicked, Ame dodge and jumped. Knowing that fighting back will only drain her energy, and the fact that Kyuki would probably stop trying to hit her once she cooled down enough. But Ame didn't know when that was, and she didn't have time to think about it.
Jump, roll, duck. Stumble after jumping only to get hit in the face. Just great.
After who knows how long, Kyuki finally stopped punching. She was panting heavily, and Ame was panting just as heavily as she. Kyuki was standing while Ame lied on the floor. Sweat dripped down Kyuki's forehead as she wiped them away with a sleeve. Ame offered her a tired smile.
"Cool down?"
Kyuki glanced at her. Then she looked away and said, "Yeah, I guess." Ame smiled happily and got up.
"Now I can finally talk to you."
Ame grabbed Kyuki's hand and dragged her over to an empty table. The guild members who were watching the fight went back to their business, but Ame saw a glimpse of Macao groaning and handing over some cash to Cana, who smirked happily and continued to drink her barrel of wine.
Ame started talking to Kyuki, who at first only gave short replies. But after a while, she started talking more and it made Ame happy since Kyuki looked happier than before. She wasn't scowling anymore so Ame took that as a good thing. Ame likes talking to Kyuki, she gives such interesting replies. Like…
"Hey, Kyuki, have you ever wondered why Hares eat their poop?"
"Because they enjoy the taste of their own shit." See, interesting.
They continued talking like that for a few hours. From time to time, Ame would ask Mirajane for a milkshake and drank while listening to Kyuki.
All was nice until a hand draped over Ame's shoulder. She looked behind her to see Carlos Balestida's grinning face. He had black hair like her's and onyx eyes. He was a really fun person, and Ame considered him a good friend.
"Hey Ame." He said. "How've you been?"
"I'm been really good!" Ame replied brightly. "Even though this morning someone called me a chibi." She remembered the little brat she met while walking to the eastern forest. The dude just walked up to her, snickered, and called her a short and puny chibi. Ame of course, is very sensitive about her height, so she kicked him the balls and fled. "So I kicked him in the balls." Kyuki looked a tiny bit impressed
"Ow, I feel sorry for the guy." Carlos laughed. He switched attention to Kyuki. "So my lovely lady, how are you doing?"
"Don't flirt with me Carlos." She automatically replied. He let out another laugh. "I figured you'd say that."
"Hey Carlos?" Ame asked. Carlos turned to her. "Yeah?"
"What did you-"She was cut off by a ferocious roar of "I'm back!" Instinctively, she shouted a "Welcome back!" only to realize that that roar belonged to only one person: Natsu.
"Natsu!" She got up quickly and rushed to the entrance. "I need to know, did you find-" She was cut off again as Natsu flew past her and kicked someone in the face.
"You bastard! That info you gave about Salamander was fake!" He roared. Ame watched him fight and soon, a huge fight broke out. She came to a conclusion. He did not find Igneel. Aw, and she really wanted to have a party with a real life dragon. She pouted before realizing that Natsu brought back somebody with him. That someone was a beautiful blonde girl. She looked amazed, and was staring at the guild in awe. Deciding to introduce herself, Ame walked up to her and said happily,
"Hi!"
"Wah!" She jumped. Turning to face Ame, she said, "You scared me!"
"Really? I'm sorry!" She apologized. Ame took a moment to look at the girl. She had beautiful blonde hair, chocolate (Mm, her chocolate colored eyes made Ame hungry) brown eyes, and a curvy figure. The girl smiled. "It's okay. Anyway, I'm Lucy! Nice to meet you!"
"I'm Ame! Nice to meet you too Lucy!" Ame replied enthusiastically. Lucy seemed to be pretty nice. That was good, if she was mean as the brat she met this morning, she didn't know what she would've done.
"Ame, I want to join Fairy Tail. Do you know where I should go?" Lucy asked Ame. Ame immediately broke out into a smile. She wanted to join Fairy Tail? Awesome! A new friend and she had chocolate eyes too! Bonus!
"Well, all you have to do is-" She was cut off by the third time this day, this time by Carlos who rushed past her and took Lucy's hand.
"My lady, this is the first time I have seen anything so beautiful." He began, and Ame immediately knew that it was the start of a flirt session. 'Aw come on, out of all times, why now Carlos!'
"Eh?" Lucy responded. Carlos continued talking. "You are as beautiful as the morning sun rising in the blue sky. Would you like to have dinner with me?" Lucy opened her mouth to respond, but Ame interrupted. Grabbing Lucy's hand out of Carlos's, she pulled Lucy to the bar and shouted, "Sorry Carlos! I'm stealing her away from the clutches of your flirty hands!"
Lucy was dumbfounded. Here she was finally at Fairy Tail, and made a new friend. (Even though Ame was awfully short, she decided not to voice that out) Then all of a sudden, a guy comes out of nowhere and invited her on a date. Now, she was being pulled by the short black haired girl.
"Um… Ame?" Lucy asked her hesitantly. "Who was that?"
"Oh, the dude who asked you out? His name's Carlos Balestida, and you don't have to worry about him. He's always like that around pretty girls." Ame smiled. Lucy thought.
"Pretty girls? Then how come he doesn't act like that around you?" Lucy asked. Ame opened her mouth to respond, before closing it again. She crossed her arms over her chest and seemed to be in a deep thought. Finally, she said, "You know what, I don't know too." She looked away and stormed towards Carlos's direction. "Carlos!"
Lucy watched as Ame shouted. Inwardly, she let out a giggle. All of a sudden, a spiky black haired dude headed her way, and she heard Natsu's laughter.
Immediately, she knew that Fairy Tail was a very special place filled with amusing people. Lucy snuck a glance at Ame, who was chasing after Carlos who was running away. She was shouting while he was just running. Then, she saw an orange haired girl who was sitting at the bar stand up and blocked Carlos's way.
She heard Ame shout, "Kyuki! Thanks!" While the orange haired girl just nodded.
But before Ame could reach Carlos, she tripped and crashed into a sleeping guy with steel gray hair. His eyes opened suddenly, and Lucy saw his eyes were filled with irritation and anger. He got up, pushing Ame off him, and said in a angry voice,
"Who interrupted my nap?"
"Hey Coyote, you're awake!" Ame said in surprise. "Strange, I didn't think I'd wake you after I crashed into you."
The guy turned towards Ame. "You woke me up?"
"Um, yeah?"
"I'm not in a good mood right now Ame." He growled. "And you know I hate people waking me up without a good reason." All of a sudden, Ame smiled brightly.
"Then can I fight you? I never get to fight you because you're always sleeping. And I've fought almost everyone in Fairy Tail before!" He smirked.
"Then let's fight."
And just like that, the two lunged at each other. The orange haired girl, Kyuki, just sat at the sidelines and watched them with interest. Carlos, who was grinning, watched them fight with a white haired man who was screaming, 'Fighting is manly!'
'Yup, Fairy Tail is a very special place.' Lucy mused as she was suddenly picked up by a guy with sunglasses. 'A very special place indeed.'
