Natsu woke up groggily he put his feet onto the carpet of his room sighing as he stood up from the cloud he called a bed.
He looked around and got dressed putting on a red long-sleeved shirt and black pants, he hears the bathroom door open.
"So, your finally awake sleepy-head" he heard an angelic voice say to him, turning around he see's lucy, his world, his everything walking towards him, she gives him a quick peck on the lips before turning around and sitting at her desk.
"So, what are we doing today?" he asks thinking staring at her all day would be weird, not that he hadn't done it before, she looked up at him and stared at him, she stood up and kissed him on the lips again, this time a bit longer.
"wh-what was that for" he ask's confused
"You know it's too late to do anything now Natsu" Now he was even more confused "what do you mean weirdo, its bright and early outsid-"Natsu looked towards the window to see it was pitch black outside "what I could o-" he turned back around and lucy was gone
"Luce?" he asked in nothing but a whisper, then the door to their room opened slightly.
Natsu slowly walked towards the door and pushed it further open, fully open he strode into an empty field, when all of sudden his eyes fell upon a stone object he walked towards it, when he saw it he remembered why she had said that, his breath hitched and his breathing became erratic.
"Lucy" he whimpered as he fell to his knees, for what he was looking at hurt to even think about
'Here lies Lucy Dragneel'
'The celestial princess'
'Wife and mother'
'Loved by all'
Natsu began to cry punching the ground and repeating a string of apologies.
He looked up at the sky and screamed," AHHHHHH-
-
"HHHHHHH" Natsu woke up in his dorm room on a bed that definitely wasn't a cloud, His breathing heavily his face with a streak lines of where tears had been, he had also worked up a cold sweat.
"I should have killed the god of nightmares while I had nothing to do" he stood up and looked towards his door, there were several small packages.
'So she didn't just run away hmm' with that Natsu grabbed the uniform and looked towards the cloc-
There was no clock in his room…great
Natsu opened his window and breathed in heavily… 6:42 am, he looked towards and could hear the city getting ready for a long day of work, he closed his window and opened his dorm room and walked towards where he could smell water, 'God this place smells horrible and it looks it to' it looked like a run down motel, not a dorm room, he eventually got to the shower rooms and went in and they were disgusting he couldn't shower in this, he grabbed his things and left the dorms entirely, he again sniffed for a lake or something and he had found one he started to walk towards the said water source.
-
He got to a small pond hidden in a thick brush of tree's he looked at the water to see it was clean, he began stripping, by that he took of his pants and that's it he had nothing else on and jumped in.
Natsu couldn't feel the cold as his natural heat had already heated the water up, it was still quite dim in light as the sun hadn't risen, Natsu was too occupied with washing himself and being clean for the first time In a while he failed to notice the red-headed girl walking towards the pond.
Natsu had now sensed another presence as he was currently underwater he couldn't smell to know if he recognised their scent, he slowly raised his head out the water facing the other way to whoever was impatiently tapping their foot, he sniffed the air and could smell cake and strawberries… "Shit"
"What do you think you're doing in the S-class baths?" a strong authoritative voice called out to him, "Shit" he cursed again "will you stop with that foul language and turn around and face me".

Erza POV
I'm heading for my bath as my mother had told me of the baths before she had told everyone else in S-class when I hear splashing, low and behold a boy has intruded into our bath space, I reequip out my bathrobe into my Hearts Kreuz armour and blue pleated skirt, he comes up for air and I hear him speak "Shit" 'had he detected me, but how I thought I had hidden my presence' she looks down at her tapping foot ' oh that must be it, something I must work on she quickly notes in her mind to train her stealth "What do you think you're doing in the S-class baths?" he freezes in fear "Shit" probably knowing who I am he's probably terrified.
"Will you stop with that foul language and turn around and face me" he does so and I come face to face with…. pink hair what I stifle a laugh at the hair part and look at his—very toned body to say the least "go put your clothes on and we will talk of your punishment"

Natsu's POV
I can tell she finds my hair funny 'I really do love you Erza but don't push my buttons' I think to myself sighing "go put your clothes on and we will talk of your punishment" 'hold up punishment'.
'She really hasn't changed' I say not noticing the lone tear that escape's my eye " why are you crying my punishment won't be that bad, you must take it like a man" she says standing in a power pose, which I cringe at, I wipe my eyes and speak up "I don't think punishment is needed, as I didn't know this was the S-class baths I apologise and will change and leave" I say bored 'I already dealt with your mother I don't need you on my back as well'
"No, you must learn punishment, what class are you in" she asks in a threatening tone that would make student's cry, she really does think she's scaring me…how cute.
"I'm in F-Class" the look of pure disgust on her face is a gateway to know what she's thinking 'Trash', "Trash like you disgust me" oh never mind she just up and said it, I close my eyes and sigh but before I open them I feel a spot of water land on my cheek 'I didn't splash, and why does this smell of saliv—oh, she just spat on me… this bitch'
"Did you just spit on me?" I ask in a low tone almost a growl, I see hear reequip a sword into her hand
"Trash like you don't deserve to speak to the likes of me" 'Oh great having her mother round and being top dog has given her a superiority complex'
I get out of the bath and I dry instantly due to my body heat Erza raises an eyebrow ' I've never seen a fire mage who could do that I head for my clothes not caring that I'm naked, I look over at her she isn't even fazed by me being naked either she just looks at me like I'm an animal, 'it's like she doesn't even value me as a human, interesting' although the tinge of pain that a girl who is a sister to me, despise and hate me does hurt, I finish putting on my grey uniform and slide my hands in my pockets
"So what's this punishment then?" I ask not really caring if she tries anything ill knock her down a peg…she needs it.
The sun in the early morning brightness illuminating the shine off her armour and sword, she speaks
"if you were a normal rank I would have been lenient and let you go… but seeing as your F-Class, a beating is due" she says her voice rising to a shout towards the end, as she begins to swing her blade, she twists it so it's the flat side is the side that will hit me, she aims for my shoulder to which it a normal person probably break their arm and damage some nerves, 'damn these people hate F-class, I smirk at her' '…but I'm not normal'
*CRACK*
The sword shatters into pieces when it meets my shoulder, I don't even move I just stare at her.
Erza holds the hilt in her right hand a look of sheer disbelief coats her face, it was priceless
"If you all done with your punishment, I'll be off" I say again in a bored tone, my hands never leaving my pockets
"Oh, and if I ever catch you spitting at me again" I walk up to her and grab her by the throat
"I'll crush your windpipe so you won't be able to breathe let alone spit" I drop her on her arse and turn away
"Ho-how dare you, an F-class speak t-to me like th-that" I keep walking not even looking back, and with that, I'm out of sight
"Wh-what in the world," she says reequipping back into her bathrobe.
"YAWNNN" by the time I had finished with Erza it was already 7:30, I look at my timetable,

Magic Theory
"Mavis what a boring set of lessons" not being funny but I should have asked Irene to promote me up to S-class… MAVIS I should have just done that, 'Ugh, guess we're going the long way round'
I go back to my dorm to wait out till the opening ceremony, as I walk up to my dorms I notice how actually run down it is, it looks like an abandoned building, not a dorm for people to live in, that when I pick up a smell from yesterday, I look over to the left and see 'Brown…no broad' "Braun"
I unintentionally shout his name, he looks over and runs over, now Braun wasn't gifted physically he was quite short and round and was panting heavily 'Shit I didn't mean to say it out loud "Hey uhhhh"
He seems to struggle saying my name, what reason is it some cause of the dimensional reality shift…oh wait I didn't tell him my name.
"Natsu," I say to him 'these people are treated like shit all day, so I won't add to that torture' I smile at him as his face lights up
"Hey Natsu, didn't get your name after you got rid of Laxus like that, h-how did you do that by the way?" Oh, shit Uhh I have to come up with something that's not to suspicious, I can't really say I used a technique that doesn't even exist in this world.
"He whispered in my ear that I was trash and didn't even have the effort to deal with me" I say matter-of-factly
Braun looks at me like I'm the centre of the universe
"Wow, he actually acknowledged your existence…Cool most people pretend we don't exist" he says like a child in a toy shop jumping around me
"Mavis it's that bad" I mumble under my breath, he was too busy looking at me like I was a god to notice.
"So wanna walk to the main building?" he asks
Surprisingly talking to someone for the first time normally is quite relaxing
"sure"
We're about halfway there, Braun has been looking at me like I'm sort of super-powerful being, apparently an S-Class degrading you in F-class is a good thing.
"So where were you from before you came here?" he asks stars in his eye's
"Uhh outskirts of Magnolia," I say its not really a lie just an extension of the truth
"WOW, magnolia has some really powerful mages it's so awesome you're from there" he says the star's never leaving
"You know my magic, but what's yours" well might as well go with the one that's on my card
"Fire magic," I say as we near the building, he again jumps around
"And you have an attack magic woah your super cool Natsu" my eyebrow twitches I breathe in and out
"hey calm down were at the main building now" I look at the building, it reminds me of a large cathedral apart from not including the religious symbols and looking new, not hundreds of years old, I walk in and are told to give our cards to a person at a desk as they look over they 'tsk' and mutter "F-class scum" Braun didn't hear it but I did, I snatch the cards out of the person's hand and glare at them "Thanks" my voice laced with false enthusiasm
Braun gives me a quizzical look before shrugging it off and going back to admiring me
When in the hall I noticed that we were sat right at the back just about able to see the stage, most classes are in now and I had noticed the difference in uniforms, my guess was that depending on your class, the colour of your uniform would change, F-class was a deep grey while D-class was a light grey C-class was a green B-class was a blue and A-class was Red, I had yet to see the S-class uniform although I had a sneaking suspicion.
Then Makarov comes on stage, he uses a step up to get to the microphone which gets a chuckle out of all the classes, until I notice none off F-class are laughing 'hmm strange'
"SHUT UP YOU BRATS" Makarovs bellows quieting down the hall
"Now everyone's quiet *AHEM* S-class come in," he said, everyone stand's up and begins clapping, me being one of the tallest in the year easily see the S-class come in hairs of blues ranging to pinks all flow through all of them in gold uniforms my suspicion's being confirmed, I keep looking waiting for the moment she arrives, and then her scent hits me, her smell, she smelt amazing out the corner of my eyes, I see a flash of golden hair walk towards a seat followed by a green-haired girl,
'Mavis why is this so hard I sit down ignoring Braun's protest of having to stand as its 'ritual' I put my head in between my hands and sigh and breathe In and out the dream from this morning still fresh.
Then I hear Makarov speak again
"May your magic be always true and strong and welcome to Fiore school of magic."
How do think it was that was my longest chapter, should I do longer or shorter chapters?
