Shoujo: So it's summer!
Reaper: Time to spend days on end in doors! Relax in the air-conditioned goodness and try not to get burned by standing in the sun for more then two minutes!
Gajeel: You two are so annoying.
Shoujo: Ooohhh we love you anyway!
Levy: Am I allowed to be confused?
Reaper: Birds and the bees and all the trees ain't got shit on me!
Gajeel: Okay seriously what the hell.
Shoujo: We don't own Fairy Tail or the characters, just this story is ours. *Tangos with Reaper as they laugh maniacally.
Levy: Enjoy?
The blunette stiffly smoothed out her dress as she tried vainly to extend it's length. She was used to button up sweaters and shirts with floor length skirts. What she wore barely reached the middle of her thighs and her shoulders were exposed to the public basically waving at anyone who passed.
To make matters worse three of the four men were focused on her. One guy was bad but three guys was Like chucking her out of her comfort zone into an ocean with waves crashing down while sharks circled around her body as she struggled to keep her head above the water. That was in no way an exaggeration of what she felt.
She looked at her feet as she spun one over they other her shoulders pointing up as she tried to suck her head into them hoping that maybe she had grown a turtle shell in the short time she'd been there.
Quatro Puppy College. The male's supposed school.
The original name had been a much more intimidating Quatro Cerberus, their mascot had been a three headed creature with blood read eyes, long sharp fangs, and a foaming mouth. That all changed when a bet was made between Fairy Tail College and Quatro Cerberus.
Losing team in the soccer tournament had to change their name to what the victor declared it would be.
Levy had only attended two years at the university Magnolia considered to be the top. In those two years the fighting Fairy's had proven to be the most frightening college there was.
"So Levy-chan who out of the three of us do you prefer?" One of the men, Rocker asked leaning towards her.
The female sweated as they men leaned closer for her to answer. She looked over, Cana was in a steamy make out session with Bacchus that was quickly turning into something rated M. The two other girls, Meredy and Ultear were laughing as they talked to each other about memories. Either they were incredibly close or together, together. Either way it wasn't Levy's business. She just wished someone would swoop in to save her from the awkward situation that was nearing a deadly war.
"B-Bashroom." Levy whispered.
"Who?" A burly man name Jager asked.
"Pee!" Levy screamed as she got to her feet. The blast had been enough to K.O. the three men. Ultear and Meredy looked at her before shrugging and going back to their world.
Levy blushed as she noticed Cana's bra on the floor.
With as much speed as she could manage she raced from the room. They'd rented a Karaoke room for some reason.
No one sang except Cana and Bacchus and that wasn't until an hour into the goukon. Both had been incredibly drunk at that point. Drunks attract?
Outside it was already dark, as it neared fall it was becoming colder.
"'Don't worry you don't need a jacket.' Thanks Cana, just perfect."
She rubbed her arms and began the walk to the train station. It was six blocks away, Cana had driven but she'd rather not take the car. Not when the brunette was that drunk. Not when she would most likely be spending the night somewhere other then her home. If she weren't able to find it the next morning Levy didn't want to be the one at fault.
The city was quite a sight at night. Neon lights lit up like fireflies. Ramen shops beckoned with promises of warmth, it was already eleven. Levy had to get home.
Every now and then she'd spot either a couple in heat or a group of teens smoking. Each time she'd hurry past hoping not to get noticed or interrupt. With her social standing Levy was never one to become engaged in activities like those. Out of her entire group of friends Levy was the only one left untainted in body. Mind, not so much.
She smiled looking up at the starry sky, when she'd gotten home yesterday she'd opened her mail to find a card addressed to her.
'You're attendance is humbly requested for the wedding of Jellal Fernandes and Erza Scarlett.'
In four months Erza would be the first with a changed last name.
Deep in her thoughts Levy didn't notice the wrong turn she'd taken. Dead end. With an awkward laugh Levy spun to leave, two men blocked her path.
"E-excuse me." Levy murmured. Neither moved. "I-I-I pass you?"
"Little girls really shouldn't be out alone at night." One said. "You never know when someone might take advantage of that innocent little thing." He moved forward, Levy was rooted in place her body not letting her run. It wasn't until a hand gripped her hair that her mind finally screamed out.
RUN! FIGHT!' That's what she did. She kicked one in the groin dodging the grab of the other as she zoomed away. She noticed the street sign, she was a block from the library, maybe she could hide in there.
She barely heard the foot steps chasing her through the pounding of her heart. She knew if they caught her she wouldn't be able to escape. She was smaller and weaker then them. They'd overpower her with ease.
But she had to run.
One heal on the sandals she wore snapped off and it slowed her as her ankle jolted in pain. The adrenaline in her body was wavering, her breath was labored. She wasn't used to running. Just as she stretched out for the doors hands yanked on her dress pulling her down. Her head smacked a step dizzying the world around her.
Levy was aware of the hands moving towards the tie on her dress. Then nothing happened. The hands almost retracted. She heard some voices, someone was talking, then some grunts and the sound of bodies hitting pavement. The ground left her and her head lolled back before being lifted as someone cradled her. She bobbed up and down. She was only able to get a glimpse of her savior before she blacked out.
XxX
A steady beep. Soft voices. Something wrapping her head.
These were the first things Levy took in. Her eyes screamed no as she pried them open a light throb on her temple told her she was not dreaming. She was in fact awake. She was in a hospital.
"Levy! Oh my God Levy you scared the crap out of me!"
Wet?
With a struggle Levy turned her head to see Lucy Heartfilia sobbing on her lap. Natsu Dragneel patted his girlfriend's back grinning at a newly rested Levy.
"Juvia feared she'd lost her friend!" Juvia added from Levy's other side. She smiled in relief with tears dripping from her eyes.
Levy blearly groaned, that's when Lucy turned to Natsu who looked at her with a nod before exiting the room.
"Who... saved me?"
Lucy sniffed drying her eyes. "The doctor wouldn't say. He said the person who brought you in asked to stay anonymous. Levy you were out for four days. We were lucky you only had a concussion. Why didn't you tell us where you were going that night? Why were you out alone? What if that person hadn't been there to help you? You could've been raped! Or worse!"
"I'm fine." Levy forced a smile. "See? Just tired."
"The doctor told Juvia not to let you fall back into dreamland." Juvia cried stifling her sobs. Her chin shivered. "What Lucy says is correct. What would Juvia do if her friend were not there to see her marry Gray-sama?"
Levy smiled softly at the pale beauty.
"I've come to check up on the patient." A female doctor smiled at the girls as she entered the room and her eyes lit up when she noticed Levy. Her long white hair waved down her back and her soft blue eyes coupled with her pale skin made her many men's, and women's fantasy girl. "How wonderful! You've woken!" She strolled in a clip board in hand. "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you two ladies to leave now. Visiting hours are almost over."
Lucy and Juvia looked to Levy gave them a thumbs up since she couldn't nod.
With reluctance the two left.
"Well you appear to have movement in your hands," the doctor stated. "Good."
"What's your name?"
"Well I'm called doctor Strauss, but my friends call me Mirajane. Mira for short. You can call me what you like."
"Doctor Strauss?"
"Yes?" The doctor waved a light in front of Levy's eyes. "Follow the light with just your eyes please."
"Who brought me here?" Levy wondered doing as instructed.
"Good," Dr. Strauss jotted something down putting down the clipboard. "I'm afraid they asked to remain anonymous." The doctor pulled back the sheets exposing Levy's feet. "Can you wiggle your toes please."
Levy complied. "Well have they been visiting?"
"Anonymous." Dr. Strauss reminded the blunette, she took her pen poking each toe to which Levy responded. "Though I guess this isn't really a question of who. Yes they've visited each day. However since they aren't a family member I'm afraid that they can't be allowed in to see you. Tell me what you remember of the attack please."
"The attack, I was chased by two men almost made it to my library but I was pulled down and my head smacked something. The rest was a blur. Back on the anonymous hero, I am over eighteen years of age. So I can decide my visitors. Next time they come let them in. If they saved my life I think they're welcome. And besides Lucy and Juvia were here."
"Aren't you three sisters?"
Levy giggled though it hurt her head. "No, they're my friends, though I welcome them."
"Alright next time the person who saved you pops up I'll be sure to let them in." Dr. Strauss said. "Can you try sitting up?"
Levy went to do so but pain riveted through her skull and she moved to lie back down.
"Alright then we'll stop here for today, we have more tests to perform tomorrow."
"Yes m'am, thank you doctor." Levy paused as the doctor began to leave then she spoke. "Can I ask why you became a doctor? Someone as pretty as you could've been anything."
Dr. Strauss laughed shaking her head. "Well to be honest I wanted to act. That was my dream when I was little. I loved action movies and I wanted to be in them. However when I was seventeen I was driving and my recklessness caused my little sister to be badly injured."
Levy swallowed. "What happened to her?"
Pain flashed in the doctor's eyes but she smiled nonetheless. "She's currently in the comma ward. I became a doctor because I wanted to find a way to help people like her. I also want to be close to her. When she wakes up I want the first face she see's to be mine."
Levy didn't press the doctor for more information, she knew it had been at least eight years since then. The likeliness of a comma patient waking up after that long was slim to nothing. All people could have was optimism, Dr. Strauss had tons of it. She knew her sister would wake up. Levy had been out for only a few days. What would the tole of years bee to her friends. To her family.
"I'll inform the front desk of your decision about the person who brought you here." Dr. Strauss bowed her head as she left her feet not making a sound.
