A/N: Hola! I hope you enjoy this next chapter! Please review, if you would..

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail

But I do own Tatsuo, Aritami, Tiffany, Daisuke, Takahashi-san, and Nekora.

(Again, I'm sorry for all the original characters, but they will all have a purpose to the plot of this story)

I gently stroked the pages in my diary, trying to find the place I last left off. It was the first weekend into my school year, and I intended writing about my week. As I skimmed the writing, I noticed the scrabbled word: Aquarius. My brow furrowed... I had no memory of writing this... much less memory of Aquarius...

'Today, Aquarius went swimming with me... I'm glad I have her as a friend. But she is quite mean. She always wants to sweep me away with some wave and she says I'm annoying. I don't care though. Aquarius was my first friend,' the messy writing stated. There was no way that I wrote this... I don't remember Aquarius... Natsu was my first friend... Not her... When.. did this happen..? My eyes scanned the date... 'July 6, 777.' The day before Mom died...

Now that I thought about it... I didn't have much memory of anything before Mom died... Nothing at all... I just remembered one thing. The day she showed me the keys.

My heart pounded like a drum as a foggy memory dashed through my mind... 'Lucy, this is a celestial spirit key,' Mom explained, waving a glimmering gold key in the air. It had two blue zig-zags across the top. 'This is Aquarius. A good friend of mine. Take good care of her.'

My eyes flew open. "Where is that key?!" I grumbled to myself as I shot out of bed, not noticing that I had thrown my diary to the floor. I had to find that key- or keys, if that's the case. Mom told me to take care of them, and Stupid Lucy forgot!

I thrashed through every drawer that I had in my room. Junk... Junk... More junk! I growled and threw every single scrap of junk out onto my floor. "Where is it?!" Fury bubbled up inside of me, ready to spew- like a volcano. I was so mad at myself for forgetting something like this... Why, Lucy?! Why did you forget?!

I angrily sifted through the piles of stuff, finding nothing but paper and jewelry... A huff of defeat escaped my lips as I lied down on the carpet beside my bed. The sun shone through the window, and right at the perfect time... I caught a glimpse of gold.

My fingers held the piece of jewelry with disgust. It was just a necklace?! I snarled in frustration. This was not happening... There was no way I forgot... Yeah, I remembered the keys... but not anything else... Why am I remembering now?

I flopped onto my bed, full of despair, ready to pour out my feelings onto a piece of paper... but my diary was nowhere to be seen. A low growl formed in the back of my throat and I clenched my fists. This day can't get any worse!

My head peeked over the side of my bed, only to see my diary crumpled on the floor. "At least I still have it..." I mustered, picking it up and placing it back on my bedside table. Maybe I should keep looking... instead of writing... I need to find those keys!

I skidded down the hallway and into Mother's old powder room. "They've gotta be in here..." This was the only room that they could possibly be in... This was the only room Father didn't touch after her death... He threw everything that she'd ever owned into some car and told them to drive to Love and Lucky...? I had no clue what that was... Maybe some sort of dump? It had no meaning to me, other than that's where all Mother's stuff was.

Gently, I skimmed through the drawers. Much more gently than I had with my own stuff. I didn't want to mess up anything in here... It was the last thing... the last piece of Mom I had left.

There sure was a lot of shimmery, golden things that got my hopes up... then crumbled my soul into a million pieces. There was even unused make-up, money, toothpaste, and tons upon tons of jewelry.

I caressed every little item with love, for Mom had once loved them herself... Though, for some reason, I didn't quite remember her...

As I got to the last little cabinet, I felt like my luck had run dry. I didn't have a glimmer of hope. Not even a sparkle.

I lifted up the old shampoo and soap, seeing no gold. No shimmers whatsoever. And just as I was about to put everything back in its place, I saw a small handle out of the corner of my eye. I reached out my hand, and closed my fingers around the dusty handle... My eyes were shut as I lifted it... I was not gonna be surprised if the keys weren't there... But they were.

My hands shook furiously as I held the small golden keys in my frail fingers. There was three. And by the looks of the small signs that decorated them, it was Taurus, Cancer... and Aquarius.

"How do I summon them..." I mumbled, slightly waving them in the air. An electric shock seemed to pulse through my veins and the air around me seemed to swirl. Words, uncontrollably, began falling out of my mouth: "Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee. Aquarius!"

The bath tub began filling with water and blinding lights began flashing all around. "Layla, I swear-" the mermaid growled, but abruptly stopped... "Oh, Lucy. Long time, no see."

Nothing. There was nothing I remembered. Not Aquarius. Not Mom. Nothing. "Don't summon me from a bath tub again," Aquarius scoffed, then mustered, "Next time I'll end up in a toilet."

"Sorry..." I mumbled, looking into the mermaid's deep blue eyes. I had never seen anything like her. She had a glimmering blue tail... golden cuffs decorated her arms... and she had blue hair. This was not what I expected... "And... uh, sorry Aquarius... Mom died. Years ago.."

"Oh, I knew, Lucy. It was just a habit to bother Layla. Now, why did you summon me? Were you in need of a friend?" The mermaid's mean demeanor changed within a matter of seconds to one with empathy. What's with this woman?

"Uh... actually... I don't remember anything... I was wondering... how did I forget everything?'' I stuttered nervously. Aquarius was very intimidating with her dagger- like eyes that seemed to pierce the soul.

"You'll find out with time, Lucy Heartfilia." Aquarius then produced a blinding light as she began to disappear into the sky.

"Wait!'' I shouted. This wasn't the answer I wanted. I needed reasons. I needed to know Mom. "How do I make a contract with you?!" I yelled over the slight hum of the retreating Aquarius. The blunette rolled her eyes and stopped the process of leaving.

"Lucy, are you even ready to be an owner? You barely have any magical power," Aquarius asked softly. She almost seemed considerate. Almost. But the tone she spoke in was that of higher authority. As if she looked down upon me.

"Yes. I am. I need to prove something," I said with more confidence, hopefully getting the spirit's attention.

She lifted an eyebrow and pursed her lips. "If you say so." She shrugged. "I'm good any time that you need me. Except when I'm on dates with my boyfriend." Of course, she emphasizes 'boyfriend', since I'm supposedly never going to get one.

"I guess...? Bye, Aquarius." The mermaid nodded as she turned into pixie dust and disappeared.

I curled up in my bed, holding my diary and the three keys close to my chest. My mind was nearly blank... the only thing that kept appearing was Aquarius' face. It seemed so familiar... but I couldn't put my finger on where I had seen her... It was miserable just thinking about someone forgetting about me like that. I wonder how Aquarius feels...

A deep sigh escaped my lips as I decided I should try to get something done today, as in writing. I ruffled the pages in my diary until I got to a blank page.

'Well, I guess school's better than I thought it'd be. I've actually made a few friends already, all were by chance though. I ran into Daisuke, Tiffany got a bit mad at me, and Aritami pretty much kidnapped me... But I'd say that's good for someone who has a hard time with people.

Anyways, Tiffany is the one I'm the closest to so far, probably since we're in the same class. And yeah, she seems scary at first sight, but she's actually a really nice, caring person... Well, she sorta has to be. They moved back to Fioré just last year, due to her magical powers. They had to leave everything they knew just for her, and in my opinion, that sucks. Even though her magic is awesome ( she can see the future) , I still would hate to leave everything I knew.

Then there's Daisuke. He's nice and all, but I really don't know much about him. He's really reserved and doesn't talk much, but when he does speak, he talks about Nekora, his childhood friend. Apparently, she is his whole world. He's even gotten in fights for her sake, and I'd say that's really sweet. If only I had someone like that...

And Aritami... dang there's something strange about that girl, but it's interesting... She did kidnap me, for God's sake! Well, I consider it kidnapping, since she caught me from behind, but she was really just looking out for me... Her magic is really cool though; she can control flowers, and make them appear whenever she chooses (In which I found out that's how she captured me).

I did meet another guy though... Tatsuo Kasora. There's something about him that's off... Just like my teacher, Takahashi-san... something strangely reminds me of Natsu... Something's there, and I intend on finding out this next week, or soon enough, that is...'

I rolled my eyes; I knew I could do a much better summary of my week, but it's hard to focus when that dang spirit's on my mind. All that's there is Aquarius, not even the other spirits I made a contract with! Taurus was a pervert, but I paid no mind to it. Cancer was really odd, if you'd put it that way. But all I could think about was her. She was the key to find out about my past... The key to Mom... Maybe even the key to Natsu.

A/N: I know this chapter was different... And it's not how Fairy Tail actually goes... but it'll have meaning later...

Anyways, have a great day and please review! ;)
