"Lisanna, Lisanna! Look what I got!" Lucy yelled, running out of Makarov's office, taking the steps two at a time and jumping at the last three. On her hand was a pink Fairy Tail symbol; proof of her membership.
"Wow, Luce, that's really cool!" Lucy smiled grew even more at the mention of her nickname.
"By the way, Lisanna, where is your guild mark?" Lucy was thoroughly curious. She hoped Lisanna had pink as well; that way they could be matching.
"Mine is red and on my shoulder," Lisanna pulled her sleeve down to show Lucy. At the sight, Lucy was a little disappointed they didn't match, but perked up with an idea.
"Hey! if you combine your hair color with your guild mark, it makes pink! Don't ever change your hair or your mark okay? That way, there'll always be a sign of our friendship."
"That's a good idea! I promise!" The two girls locked pinkies, giggling and setting the agreement into stone.
Lisanna then took the liberty of showing Lucy, her new friend, off to everybody. There was Cana, a brunette who liked to play cards. Erza who had a fondness for sweet things (strawberry cake in particular), but was often very scary if messed with. Levy who liked to read books (Lucy knew they two of them would get along well). Gray liked to strip for some unknown reason (he got beat up by Erza not long after Lucy squealed out of embarrassment). Mirajane ("Just call her Mira-nee") who had a tough exterior, but Lucy knew she was really kind and loved her family to death. Laxus always had his headphones on and didn't like socializing much ("watch, he'll warm up to you in the next week or so. he's a big softie"). Elfman was very docile and gentle. And the infamous Natsu (who wasn't there at the moment) known for his recklessness and hot-headed attitude ("He's a idiot," Gray remarked). And that's all Lucy could remember before her head exploded.
The two girls took a break from all the introductions, sitting at the bar sipping water and milkshakes.
"Wow. Fairy Tail is so cool. Everybody knows everybody; it's like you're all one big family. All the younger members are brothers and sisters and all the older members are aunts and uncles. I wish I had a family like that…." Lucy twiddled with the hem of her dress, reminiscing about her mom and her dad and how happy they were all together. But Lucy couldn't go back to those days. Her mom wasn't there to console her anymore and she was too old for tears and consolations.
"Well don't you have a family now? If Fairy Tail is one huge family, now you're apart of it. You're Lucy….Lucy….Lucy of Fairy Tail!"
Lucy of Fairy Tail? It rung.
