~*A Spirit's Guidance*~
Chapter One: First Sight

Hi there, everyone! My name's Lucy Heartphilia and currently, I'm a second year student (a junior) at the Fairy Tail Guild. I'm seventeen years old and have been trying to resurrect the Astronomy Club since I was a second year student. Unfortunately, the student council denied my request and told me to try again next year. So, here I am as a second year student trying to re-establish the club.

This time I'll try to drag my friends into the club, whether they like it or not. As evil as it sounds, it won't affect their schedules that much, since club activities have to be held at night. I tried to persuade some of them to join last year, but it looked like I was a little too soft. The minimum number of people required for the club to be recreated is six people.

I talked to Erza about my plan to restart the club too. As a third year (a senior), she was aiming to become student body president. She said she would help me as much as she could once she became president.

Okay, so I'll definitely drag Natsu and Gray into the club. As my best friend, Levy-chan had to join. I know Erza will be busy with student council affairs if she became the president, so she wouldn't be able to join. Maybe I could recruit Lisanna and Juvia as well. I need to start working on my persuasive skills.

"Hey Lucy, are you still going to try and create the Astronomy Club?" asked Natsu, who was gulping down his lunch like a hungry hippo. Ever since Natsu, Gray, and I enrolled at Fairy Tail, we've always hung out together. Erza would join in most times too, but since she was an upper classman, she didn't see us that much.

I poked at the meat in my bento with my chopsticks. "Of course! I'm never giving up on that club," I snapped.

"I'm sure you can do it, Lucy! I've never met anyone as crazy about astronomy as you," said Natsu, patting my back.

"So, as my friends, you two have to join the club," I chirped happily, putting on a sweet smile.

Gray spoke, "Lucy, you know Natsu and I know nothing about astronomy."

"Yeah, but you two just have to join! You don't have to do anything. I couldn't get enough members last time, so I need you two to just show up," I reasoned.

"I have my own activities too," complained Natsu.

"You just have to show up and spend some time at night in the clubroom. I know both of you live in the dorms so it wouldn't be a problem for you guys to come at night. Come on, do this for me!" I pleaded.

"Fine," Gray sighed. "We're your friends after all." Natsu seemed a little hesitant at first, but then he nodded his head slowly in agreement.

Yes! I got two new members. Now I can probably persuade Juvia by telling her that Gray's joining. I also know Lisanna and Natsu were childhood friends, so she'll probably join too. Not to mention her not-so-little crush on Natsu might make my persuading easier. I still needed to find Levy-chan and tell her about this. With six members, including myself, the number of people required is complete!

"By the way, Lucy," Natsu's voice pulled me from my thoughts. "Do you still feel that strange energy in the clubroom?"

I slightly shivered. "Yeah. It's so weird. I've sensed that aura in that room ever since I first arrived at Fairy Tail. It's been two years now, and it's still not going away," I weakly complained.

The blast of energy I felt when I entered the clubroom for the first time was so strong that I couldn't forget about it. For the past two years, every time I entered that room, I always felt that energy surrounding me, sending chills up my spine. I've spent a lot of my time in that room, so I am a little used to it, but it still freaks me out a little.

"How often have you been going to the clubroom these days?" asked Gray.

"I don't know. I didn't keep count, but I do go there a lot," I answered.

"Even at night?" Gray continued.

"Yes, even at night. As you two know, I live in the dorms as well, so I don't have to waste my money on transportation to get to school. It's very convenient for me to come at night since no one's there to disturb me. I can also mess around with the equipment, clean up, and watch the stars as long as I want. When I recreate the club, I'm going to take everyone to the rooftop at night and watch the stars there," I explained.

"Weren't you scared when you're in the clubroom all alone, at night, with that aura?" Natsu asked in a sinister voice.

"Well, in a way, I am, but then again, I always feel at ease in the clubroom. I just can't leave astronomy alone," I confessed, then giggled at myself.

The bell rang all of a sudden. Natsu, Gray, and I finished up our lunches and went to our respective classes. Natsu was in the B class along with Gray and I was in the C class. I've decided to tell Levy about the club in class. If you didn't already know, Levy and I are in the same class.

I packed up the remnants of my lunch and dashed to the third floor. Eating on the rooftop is really pleasant, but I really had to rush when classes start. When I spotted the former astronomy clubroom, I slowed down a little, then stopped right in front of the door. I debated on whether I should open the door, skip class, and spend some time in the clubroom, pondering about astronomy, or whether I should just come back here after school. I want to know more about the energy swirling in the clubroom. Now, I've felt many auras, but none as strong as this. Curiosity was about to get the best of me, but I managed to restrain myself and walk away. My walk turned into a jog, then into a sprint.

"Levy-chan!" I called. Levy looked up from the essay she was writing and smiled.

"Lu-chan, what is it?" Levy closed her book and turned around in her seat. I placed my bag on the hook attached to the side of my desk and sat down in my seat, which was right behind Levy's.

"Levy-chan, are you interested in joining the Astronomy Club?" I asked.

"You're still at it, Lu-chan?" Levy sighed.

I nodded. "Please, Levy-chan! I'll make sure you can come at night. We'll come to school together like we do every morning," I rambled. To tell the truth, I've been bothering Levy about the club for the past year. She declined my offer last year since her schedule was jammed pack then, but I know she's free at night these days, so I'm definitely getting her to join this year! I clasped my hands and begged, "Please, Levy-chan! I really want to bring the Astronomy Club back to life! I know it's a strange club because the activities need to be held at night, but I love astronomy. Please, I need you so that the club can meet minimum number of people required!"

Levy sighed. "Okay, Lu-chan. Since you're so passionate about this club, I'll join this year, just because I'm your best friend," Levy declared, then winked.

I jumped up from my seat and bend forward to hug Levy. "Thank you a million times, Levy-chan! You'll love astronomy almost as much as I do after I'm through with you!" I said cheerfully.

Levy returned my hug and patted my back. "You're welcome, Lu-chan. At least I'll learn more right?"

I released Levy from the hug and replied, "Of course! You won't regret joining," I promised.

Levy smiled and I started to sit back down. The teacher entered the room just when I plopped down on my seat.

"All rise, bow, be seated," chanted Levy, who was also the class representative. All of us followed the class rep's orders, and finally class was dismissed. I grabbed my bag, said good-bye to Levy, and dashed out the door. Coincidentally, I bumped into Juvia and Lisanna on my way to the former astronomy clubroom.

"What's the rush, Lucy?" asked Lisanna, when I skidded to a halt right in front of her and Juvia.

"Would you two be interested in joining the Astronomy Club?" I questioned, getting straight to the point.

"I thought there wasn't an Astronomy Club," replied Lisanna. "Don't tell me you're planning to create the club."

"I am. I didn't succeed last year, but I'll definitely succeed this year! I need you and Juvia to join the club so that it has enough members," I explained.

Lisanna and Juvia glanced at each other, unsure of what to do. I already know Juvia's on the swim team and Lisanna had a part time job at a pet shop after school, but the astronomy club activities are at night! I'll have to use my trump card now.

"Gray and Natsu will be there," I blurted.

Juvia's eyes widened immediately. She grabbed my shoulders and half-screamed, "Gray-sama is going to be there?"

I nodded my head. "Yeah, and Natsu as well," I drawled, putting the emphasis on Natsu. When I tilted my head to look back at Lisanna, she quickly turned her head to avoid my gaze and blushed a light tint of red. Some people already knew about Lisanna's crusn on Natsu. She's liked him since they were young! Now that is one faithful crush. Too bad Natsu's a little too dense to see Lisanna's crush on him!

"If Gray-sama is joining, then Juvia is too!" the aqua haired teen declared. "Lisanna-san should come too. After all, Natsu-san is going to be there," kidded Juvia.

"Juvia!" hissed an embarrassed Lisanna.

"Won't you consider joining?" I asked with a teasing tone.

Lisanna finally gave in. "Alright, fine! I'll join."

I grinned and said, "Thanks Lisanna and Juvia. You won't regret joining!"

"Of course, Juvia has to be there with Gray-sama. Juvia cannot let Lucy-san stay alone with my Gray-sama," mumbled Juvia, who later glared at me.

I held up my hands defensively. "There're going to be other people there, like Natsu and Levy-chan. Gray and I aren't going to be alone. Plus, he's just one of my closest friends!" I defended.

Before Juvia could say anything, Lisanna interrupted, "Okay! Juvia, let's head back to our dorms now. Good luck with the club, Lucy!" Lisanna then put her hands on Juvia's shoulders and led her away.

"Thanks for joining! You'll have lots of fun, I promise!" I shouted. Now, that promise could mean two things. One: I could make watching and learning about the stars as enjoyable as possible. Two: I hook up Juvia with Gray and Lisanna with Natsu! Those two would probably choose the second choice.

As I walked to the clubroom, I thought about the ways I could write up a new proposal for the recreation of the Astronomy Club. If Erza managed to become student body president, it would serve as a huge advantage for me.

I slid the door open when I got to the clubroom. As usual, the room was empty, but still hosted the strange aura. Truthfully, I was kind of getting used to this ominous sensation, since I had been spending a lot of time here. I admit, I'm still a little scared, but on the other hand, I feel at ease. It's probably because of all the astronomy equipment in here.

I set my bag on one of the three tables that were already in the room, and sat down on one of the chairs. Then, I zipped my bag open and pulled out a large map of the celestial sphere that I received as a present when I was young. As I grew up, I took notes in a separate notebook on the constellations that really intrigued me. A few of the constellations I was most interested in when I was young were Aquarius, Taurus, and Canis Minor. There were so many stars to keep track of that I had to take my time and write notes on them. Even though I started taking notes at a young age, I'm still not satisfied.

Then, I fished out a pencil, eraser, and a detailed book about astronomy I borrowed from the school library. I flipped the book open and turned the pages to the constellation of Aries. My eyes scanned the page first, then read each sentence carefully. Not wanting to miss a single detail, I pulled out the notebook I kept for jotting down astronomy notes and started writing. I analyzed my map and the charts shown in the book.

As time passed, I felt my eyelids getting heavier. The faded orange glow of the sunset created a blanked of light on my books and map. I put down my pencil and laid my head down on the table. My arms automatically crossed themselves on the table, framing my face. Before I knew it, I was out like a light.

"Come on, give it up. She hadn't seen us the past two years and she won't see us now," a strong, dominant, male voice insisted.

"She can sense us, though. D-Doesn't that count for something?" a weaker, female voice countered.

Whose voices were these? Students'? Who would come into this abandoned clubroom, though, except me? These voices don't belong to people I know.

"It would be better if she can't see us," the male voice mumbled.

"Oh, don't think thay way. T-The past is the past. We need her to s-see us," spoke the softer voice.

"Aries, please. I don't want history repeating itself," pleaded the male voice.

Wait.

Aries? The constellation? The zodiac?

"Say what?" I yelled, jerking my head up. All of a sudden, I found myself face to face with a girl. Taken by surprise, I fell off my chair with a thud. I grabbed the edge of the table to pull myself up. Once again, I saw the girl. This time, I spotted a second person leaning against the wall.

He had wild, unruly hair that strangely complimented his facial features and body structure. Tinted sunglasses rested on the bridge of his nose and a well ironed suit donned his body.

The girl had pink hair which curled up at her shoulders. A short and tight woolen dress clung to her body. A pair of woolen boots and gloves covered her legs and arms. The most unique feature that attracted my attention was the pair of horns that jutted out from the girl's head. They greatly resembled the horns of a ram.

I had never seen the two of them before, so I doubt they're students here. If they weren't students at Fairy Tail, then what were they doing in the clubroom?

Hold on.

The ominous feeling suddenly felt lighter now. Was it because of those two? I glanced at the young man, then the girl, then back to the guy. All of a sudden, I felt it

The pair of eyes so sharp it felt like my back was pierced.

There's no mistake about it now. Despite the sunglasses, the stare the stronger male gave me could penetrate stone walls. No doubt about it, the eyes of a predator.

Just like a lion's.

Yes, I've successfully finished writing the first chapter! I hope all of my readers enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will come as soon as I finish writing my really sucky rough draft in my notebook, and receive more reviews!
