Hello my lovelies!

My wizard god! So many reviews, like shazaam!

Thanks so much guys, really.

HERE'S FAIRY TAIL! HOLY SHIZNIT!

Disclaimer: Not Wendy's beautiful hair! It's non-existent, just like my ownership of this anime/manga! Oh, I also don't own any shows/muscials/movies/books referenced

Lucy P.O.V.

Cocking my head slightly, I gazed up at the familiar (in my previous life) building in front of me. The words Fairy Tail were emblazed above the entrance and I could hear loud crashes and raucous laughter coming from inside.

Yep. I was definitely at Fairy Tail.

"So what do you think Luigi?"

I was hard pressed to keep a smile down at Natsu's casual remark. The little guy thought he could make me angry by saying my name wrong did he? The idiot knew my name, we had been travelling together for three days to get here, he freaking knew my name. The experience to the guild made sure of that.

Although the experience was pretty horrific in a sense.

It went something along the lines of…

"We'll go by train. It'll be quicker than walking."

"WE ARE NOT GOING BY TRAIN!"

"What do you mean Salamander? Scared of a little rocking motion?"

"Shut up! I liked it better when you didn't talk!"

"Aye!"

"No one asked your opinion Happy."

"WAAAHH! Lucy's mean! Tell her off Natsu!"

"You sicken me cat."

"Don't be mean to Happy you-! You-! You…blond."

"Blond? Oooohhhh, I'm so scared. What'cha gonna do Pinky? You gonna flash-fry me with your little flames?"

"I'LL FRICKING ROAST YOU!"

Yeah, not the best experience.

But we survived the three day trip (and each other) with no casualties. The only thing of importance was that I took a sheet from Erza's book and knocked Natsu out. I was considering doing what Lucy supposedly does and like, stroke his hair or something, but he was an ass. Therefore I slammed one of my luggage bags into his head and he was out like a light!

And so, I was finally standing in front of the place I had been working towards for a year now. It had been painful at parts, fun at others, but sweet mother of Kami, I was-

"Are you just going to stand there Luigi, or are we going in?"

Natsu's answer came in a fist slamming down on his head.

I dusted my hands lightly as the salmon-haired boy whimpered melodramatically behind me. I then cracked my knuckles, hefted my bags securely over my shoulders, looked over my battle outfit, then solidly slammed my hands against the door and flung them open.

The ruckus of the guild quietened down slightly as the cannon fodder turned their gaze from each other to me. There was an almost awkward pause of silence that stretched out for a while (why wouldn't there be? I totally waltzed in like I owned the place), that was, until a catcall came from the back.

"A medieval cosplayer?! Princess, you can get slayed by my dragon tonight!"

I scowled in the general direction of the asshole. "You wish fucktard! You're dragon's more like a little skink. At least, that's what your mum told me!"

"OOOHHHHH!"

There was a collected outtake of air as many members looked between the obvious asshole and me. I guess they were hoping for a battle to break out or something.

Wizard battle!

Wizard duel!

Scared Potter?

You wish.

I'm such a nerd.

The angry-red face of a non-descript man glared hatefully at me through a parting in the crowd. "You crazy ass bitch! Wanna say that to my face?!"

"I would!" I called back. "But I don't want to get too close in case I catch your ugliness!"

Another pause stretched out, longer this time. I glared determinedly at the faces around me, I wouldn't show weakness!

Boy, was I surprised when the whole guild began to ring with laughter.

Both men and women were doubled over in laughter and several calls came from around me. This time, not in a sexual way.

"This one definitely has some of Fairy Tails' fighting spirit in her!"

"She's a keeper for sure!"

"You just got beat by a girl Riko!"

I blinked slightly before a smile began to creep over my face. Fairy Tail was even awesomer when you were there in real-life! Or anime-life. Whatever.

"What's your business here girly?"

My attention was brought to an older woman by her question. The woman wore a hat that was doffed at a jaunty angle and a smirk played around her lips.

I blinked again before answering. "Well, it's a long story, but the long story made short; I found a plot in Hargeon with some dumbass called Bora who was pretending to be the Salamander running the show–A real idiot I tell you. I then met your Salamander looking for his dragon in a crowded town–Again, idiot–and at some point in between then and now I managed to beat up the phoney-as-fuck Salamander and fix the whole bad guy plot up. Then your dumbass swept me away to join here. Sound like him at all?"

The woman took a moment to process the spew of information I gave her, but then nodded firmly. "That sounds like our resident idiot. On the track of Natsu, where is he?"

I gave a shrug in answer. "I slammed him over the head before I got here, he's probably still outside having a sulk."

A chuckle echoed from the woman before she waved a dismissive hand. "You're alright to join the guild girly, just go over to Mirajane and explain your funky story. She'll fix you up easy."

"Thanks." I bowed my head slightly in gratitude and made my way over to the bar, shrugging off the grabbing arms and needless questions of the other members of the guild."

A flash of white caught my attention and I slipped through the crowd to come face-to-face with Mirajane Strauss.

"Hello!" She smiled softly at me. "You must be the new girl who wishes to join the guild. I heard that Natsu brought you here."

"Yes." I agreed with a bob of my head. Information gets around quick here! "Salamander has…kindly offered to bring me to this guild to join. I hope that isn't of any inconvenience to you or your guild master. Is there any qualifications I am required to take in order to join this establishment?"

Mirajane giggled with a hand covering her mouth. "My, my, such politeness! We never usually get such manners around here."

A loud crash sounded behind me. "WHO WAS THE BASTARD THAT TOLD ME THAT IGNEEL WAS IN HARGEON?!"

"Politeness is always associated to professionalism." I replied steadily, ignoring the sounds of fighting that began behind me. "And professionalism is something I believe strongly in."

Mirajane's smile turned to a more knowing one. "Well, if you want, this guild could become your family. There would be no need for any cold looks, or masks of indifference. Everyone has a pretty ugly past in here, yet we still smile and bear it. How? Because out nakama are right beside us, bearing the pain with you." Her smile of happiness appeared on her face again. "Just a little info for you as a new member of our guild!"

My lips curved up and broke apart into one of the biggest smiles I had experienced in a while. "That info is my pleasure to take in Mirajane-san."

"Oh," Mirajane waved her hand, "just Mirajane if you please! I didn't get your name though…"

"Lucy. Just Lucy if you may."

"Okay just Lucy." A stamp was suddenly brandished in Mirajane's right hand. "Where do you want your guild mark?"

I paused, I hadn't thought about this. Lucy had hers on her hand in pink, to commemorate Natsu bringing her here. The only problem is, I despise pink and I'm not in love with Natsu.

Well fuck.

"Uhhh…." I said intelligently. Mirajane was looking at me expectantly, the stamp poised in her hand. "I want it…" An idea struck me, "can I have it on my collarbone? Just above my heart in…"

Red or purple? Red or purple? Shitshitshitshit…

"…Red." It'll match my hair.

Mirajane nodded happily before stopping, "I'm afraid your outfit is in the way."

And it was true. My vest and silk shirt covered at least half of the collarbone area where I wanted my stamp.

I shrugged easily, "that's not a problem." Slipping off the belt that held my sword and keys, I tugged off the rigid vest that was moulded exactly for my body and began to pull off my silk shirt. It didn't have any elastic in it and it was skin tight, I couldn't just tug it down away from my collarbone.

"Lucy!" Gasped Mirajane and pulled my hand away from the hem of my shirt. "If you need to do that, come into the back, we have a private room for that exact reason."

"It's cool Mirajane." I tugged my hand back and began to pull up my shirt again.

"TAKE IT OFF BABY!"

"HUBBA HUBBA!"

Several catcalls echoed from around the hall, obviously distracted from the ongoing fight by the chance of seeing a new girl's skin.

A grin covered my face. Absolute idiots.

I pulled my shirt over my head with a flourish and laughed out loud at many of the men's groans of disappointment.

"You bind your chest?" Mirajane studied the cream bandages that bound my chest and lower ribs tightly.

"Yep!" I replied chirpily. "Now lay it on me Mirajane!"

The woman nodded and pressed the stamp to my collarbone. I expected some sort of pain, but there was none, only a spray of sparkles and I now had a tattoo!

"Awesome-sauce!" I poked at the skin with a smile on my face. "Thanks Mirajane!"

"Just call me Mira," she giggled in reply. "You seem a lot happier and relaxed than before Lucy."

I pondered this fact for a moment and found that she was right. I was calm and relaxed, even in a place that I had never actually been to before. Maybe it was the fact that I wasn't in the middle of nowhere and expecting some bandits to attack. Or maybe it was the first sense of familiarity I had seen in a year. Or I was just happy that I had finally gotten to my goal.

"Yeah," I agreed, "I expect I'll be happy here."

A sudden crashing noise interrupted my thoughts and I could sense something lunging towards me. Without thinking, I grabbed the arm of the person behind me and swung them bodily over my shoulder before launching them across the guild.

When I let go of the person, I realised what I had done. "Oh no!" I tugged at my hair in horror. "I'm so, so, sorry!"

"Ha HA! Suck on that popsicle!"

I spun around to see Natsu laughing and pointing at whoever I had thrown. "Don't take credit for something you didn't do asshole!" I swung my fist at Natsu and surprisingly he caught it.

He blinked at me casually before offering a toothy grin. "Oh hi Lucy. What's up?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Soon to be you!"

"Wha-?"

A snapping kick straight underneath his chin caught him off guard and he catapulted up into the air. "That's what you get for taking credit for Lucy's takedowns you flaming idiot!"

"My, my." Mira held her head in her hand and tilted the appendage at me. "I think you'll fit in quite easily here Lucy. Already taking down Natsu and Gray."

"Gray?"

"Ow flame-for-brains! That was a solid throw!...Not that it means you're good or anything!" A half-naked teenager with dark, spiky hair pulled himself out of a dent in the wall, cracked his neck nonchalantly and then swivelled it around in a searching matter. "Now where did that idiot go?"

A loud yelling was heard and Gray looked up, only for Natsu to come down with a crash right on top of him.

I winced slightly, "that's going to hurt tomorrow."

There was a comical dust cloud around the two males, but that quickly cleared when the two began to fight each other.

"Damn you slanted eyes! You're an asshole for dropping in on me like that!"

"Well excuse me droopy eyes! I'm so sorry that you can't handle a little kick from above."

"That wasn't a kick! You fell on me!"

"Well maybe if you weren't standing there, you wouldn't have been injured!"

"You're the one who threw me into the wall!"

"I didn't do that! Lucy did!"

"Who the fuck is Lucy?!"

The fight paused when Natsu took one of his hands that were strangling Gray and pointed towards me. I waved sheepishly at the two who were staring at me intently. "Hello?"

Gray suddenly burst out laughing, "that skinny, little chick couldn't break a twig! Let alone throw me across the room!"

I pushed down the anger that flared with that sexist comment and called back to the asshole. "You just called yourself fat, fatass!"

The dark-haired teenager stood up gaudily and posed. "Do you think this is fat little girl?!"

Cocking my head to the side and putting a hand on my hip, I pretended to think over it carefully. "Wweeeeeellllll…"

Gray's eyebrows drew together into an angry expression. "You can't possibly be thinking over something as easy as me being a sexy hunk of muscle!"

I crossed the room quickly and stopped in front of the indignant Gray and the busily laughing Natsu. Leaning into his personal space, I prodded at him. Face, body, wherever I could to get him annoyed. "I don't know..." I muttered, "there's a little bit of pudginess here." I pulled at his face to finish my point, stretching out his cheeks to outrageous levels.

"Qwuit iht!" Gray's possibly scarily angry voice came out as an adorable garble that both Natsu and I had the pleasure of laughing at.

"Ice cube sounds like the little baby he is!" Natsu doubled over, wracked with laughter. "Oh god! This is good!"

A scowl crossed Gray's stretched out face and he quickly slapped my hands away from his face. "You can't call me fat blondey! You can't call me out when you're chubby!"

Laughter erupted from my mouth again. "You called me skinny just before! And," I gestured at my currently unclothed-yet-I-still-had-bandages-covering-my-chest torso, "can you really call this chubby?"

And he couldn't. Working my body to the max physically in both martial arts and sword fighting had toned Lucy's slightly soft body. The soft porcelain skin she had displayed so proudly during the series was gone. My skin was a much darker shade after constantly being out in the sun and training in only my bandages. The sunburn had hurt, but my skin now had a healthy glow. Lucy's flawless skin had long been marred, small scars crisscrossed my torso. My favourite though, was the one that was a stark and angry red against my skin, stretching widely across my right side. It almost stretched far enough to scar my proud six-pack.

"Holy shit…" Breathed Gray as he took in the white scars that crossed my body and my toned abdomen. "How the hell did you get those scars? Actually, how the fuck are you ripped?"

"Training my dear boy," I grinned. "I work more in physical strength, magical power and flexibility than anything else, so it shows! Oh, my sword fighting as well. I can't forget my beloved sword."

"It's like an Erza-copy!" Gray gasped in horror. "Please have mercy on my virgin soul!"

"HA! Gray's a virgin!" Natsu laughed mockingly at Gray who easily turned with a comeback already on his lips. "I bet you don't even know what a virgin is idiot!"

The salmon-haired teenager stopped his laughter, "uhhh."

"Snap, snap." I muttered.

"So who the hell are you anyway?"

I quirked an eyebrow at Gray's blunt question. "Lucy. I'm the newest guild member after Salamander there dragged me here after I cleaned up the mess in Hargeon."

"You were involved in that smuggling business in Hargeon?" Asked a surprised Gray. "I heard in the newspaper that a wizard had dealt with that Bora dude and had saved those chicks on board. They offered a reward you know? They couldn't find the culprit and so they put an advertisement in the newspaper to find out who the wizard was and I heard that heaps of people tried to get the reward, but Bora told them who the wizard looked like and they all got thrown away. You could collect the reward." Gray broke off and turned his head stubbornly, "not like I believe you could actually defeat a wizard like that asshole Bora. I heard he was strong, strong enough to claim to be part of Fairy Tail and not be questioned. So there's no way that a prissy, little girl like you could've defeated him!"

I rolled my eyes at Gray's melodramatic finish, but was surprised about what he had told me about a reward. Maybe I could go pick that reward up whenever I get a job nearby.

"Lucy's plenty strong!" Chipped in a happy again Natsu. "She totally kicked that bastard's ass! She was all like, 'surrender bastard!' And he was all like, 'never!' And then she nearly cut his head off! At least, that's what Happy said…"

"'Cause you were totally out of it." I finished for him. "The noob got travel-sickness, so I had to bust his ass out of there and beat up the big baddie."

"What the hell is a noob?" Asked Gray.

I threw my hands up in exasperation. They ask really stupid questions around here! I mention having swords and nearly cutting people's heads off and they don't question me about any of my magic abilities or the fact that I am armed. Stupid Fiore people.

"QUIET DOWN YOU UNGRATEFUL BRATS!"

I started at the loud booming voice from behind me. Turning, I came face to…foot with a huge black creature that towered over everyone, brushing the ceiling with its massive girth.

"Hello Master!"

Mirajane's soft voice sounded loud in the silence that came after Makarov's shouting.

I couldn't hear what Mirajane said next as Natsu and Gray were floundering manically behind me, but I watched calmly as the hulking monster shrunk into a little, old man who was one of the most powerful wizards in Fiore.

"Ugh, I'm too old for this crap."

Mirajane giggled – she seems to do that a lot – at Makarov's disgruntled mutter. "You know Master, we have a new girl in the guild today." She looked over at me and beckoned me to her. "Her name is Lucy and Natsu was the one who brought her in."

"Natsu huh?" Muttered Makarov, "he didn't cause any destruction while doing so?"

"No," I replied for Mirajane. "I had the situation under control Makarov-san."

The old mans' eyebrows rose up as he caught sight of me approaching him. For a second, I could see a calculating glint in his dark eyes before they were covered up by – those kami-damned, freaking – love hearts.

"Oh baby!" He crowed as his eyes roamed over my body. "One hot babe in the guild! You can definitely join!"

"I'm so glad," I said dryly as I gathered up my shirt, vest and belt. "I've already joined and it would be very sad to have joined for barely ten minutes."

Makarov began to laugh boisterously, "hot and witty! You'll fit in perfectly here Lucy!"

"Everyone seems to be saying that Makarov-san." I pulled on my shirt and vest, sliding the belt that crossed my torso after.

"Of course," said Makarov. "Everyone who enters this building has a place in this guild. Whether you are poor, rich, sad, weak, strong or proud. Fairy Tail always has its doors open." The serious look that had crossed his face during that mini speech disappeared almost instantly. "And none of that Makarov-san crap ether, call me Master."

I bowed my head slightly, "I would be honoured."

"So polite," he chuckled as he walked away. "Why can't anybody else in this guild be like that?" He shook his head before leaping up to the balcony above, smashing into it much like he did in the series.

I put on an interested face and blanked out his speech, I had heard it so many times before that I didn't really need to hear it. The only part that caught my attention was when he threw the flaming paperwork at Natsu to eat after he proclaimed that he 'didn't care what the magic council thought!' He was full of bullshit sometimes. I distinctly remember him crying when they came to question him after Phantom Lord.

"We are Fairy Tail!"

A collective roar echoed around me as everyone except Mirajane and I put their hands up in the Fairy Tail sign. It was kind of cool really, being in a place where no one would attack me at any moment. Even in my first life I was constantly being jumped by gang members.

So troublesome…

The thought hadn't finished before a keg full of alcohol smashed into the back of my head and ploughed me into the ground.

The ringing in my ears died enough for me to hear an outraged scream that hurt my head even more.

"THAT WAS MY ALCOHOL YOU BASTARD!"

"Are you sure you're alright Lucy-chan?"

The icepack on my head twitched slightly before I smiled reassuringly at Lyra who was hovering anxiously next to me. "I'm fine Lyra, really. The keg just surprised me. I'm happier that I managed to get the smell of booze off me."

Lyra pouted slightly before checking the huge bump on my head for any more blood. "I still think you should go to a hospital Lucy-chan. You might be concussed."

I began to shake my head before I realised that it made my head throb even more. "It's okay Lyra, I'll just relax a while..At my new apartment!"

The spirit giggled at my excitement, "it sure is amazing to get a place at such a cheap price Lucy-chan!"

The smile on my face doubled in size. I had found the apartment where Lucy had in the series and managed to haggle the price down a thousand or so jewels. I think it was mostly the fact that I was bleeding sluggishly from the head and looked ready to pass out that the landlady had taken pity on me and let me have the apartment for a cheaper price.

Injuries were awesome!

…When they didn't hurt too much.

"Lie down Lucy-chan," murmured Lyra soothingly as she took the icepack from me. She gently pushed me down on the futon she had found in one of the cupboards and tucked the fur blanket she had made from my kills under my chin.

Her usual lyre appeared in her hands and she began to strum them in a soft melody.

"Fukishi tsunasa bokura no chikyuu wa
Kirameita toki wo nazotte dekita
Mizu sabaku ni dekitara guu to
Tada aeteiru nokosarete ikimono…"

And done!

So that was Tia's introduction into Fairy Tail. I only introduced Gray, Mira and Makarov so that it wasn't a giant mess where a person went ten minutes without being mentioned.

It was also a whole heap different than the canon, I don't really know why exactly, but I hoped it worked.

And Tia won't have a massive pole up her ass anymore! She'll be fairly trusting and all that jazz.

And Lyra's song this time was Glitter, ending eleven and one of my all time favourites of the series. Like seriously, how amazing is it? Japanese music is the best...

Sooooo, love peace and bring the beat.

SunMoon Kunoichi out y'all.
