Just a short chapter today, a lot of filler, but we meet Lucy and Levy's RA! I hope you enjoy!
I do not own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters, they belong to Hiro Mashima, I simply own the plot for this story.
"Yeah mom, I'm all settled, everything is put away, now I can just relax." Lucy smiled as she sat on her bed, holding her phone to her ear.
"That's wonderful darling, take a picture for me!" Her mom's sing-song voice rang through the other end.
"Alright, hold on a sec," Lucy stood to go to her doorway to get a better picture of the room so she didn't have to take multiple, "there, sending it to you now."
A few seconds ticked by in silence as her mother awaited the picture, "Oh that looks great dear! I see Miss Levy has gotten all her things tidied away as well, good for you both."
"Thanks mom," Lucy said with a smile as she made her way back to plop down on her bed, her legs dangling off of the high single, "Levy and I both helped each other out a lot, now it finally feels like home."
"I'm happy for you dear." There was a sudden silence on her mother's end and Lucy became slightly apprehensive, "Your father just walked in, would you like to talk to him before we go out to dinner?"
Lucy's apprehension left as fast as it came on, "Of course! Let me talk to him!"
There was another quick moment of silence as Lucy heard the phone being jostled around, "Hello? Lucy? How are things? Did you get everything settled? How is your roommate? Are you getting along? Have you made any friends yet? Do you want to come home? I can send a car right now! Capricorn, go-" Her father's words rushed out at a mile a minute.
"No, no, I'm fine dad! Things are great, I just finished, Levy is fine, we still get along great, I haven't even left my room yet, and I will be home during break! Just calm down dad! I'm gonna have the time of my life here!" Lucy giggled as she answered her father's questions, she faintly heard her mother laughing up a storm on the other end as well.
"Oh, okay, as long as my little girl is alright. You tell me if something happens and you need to get home though! I will pick you up myself if I need to! I'm sorry to have to cut this short though, your mother and I have reservations at eight and we're already pushing it. I love you my daughter." Her mother's voice sounded on the other end of the line as well with a chorusing I love you Lucy mingled with her father's.
"I know dad, and I will, I love you dad," Lucy got a little louder to rival her mother, "and I LOVE YOU TOO MOM!"
Her father was chuckling now, "Goodbye Lucy."
"Goodbye dad." And the call ended.
Lucy was quickly joined on her bed by her petite, blue haired friend, though she had to jump to get up, "Haha, your parents seem nice, Lu, I'm glad I got to meet your mom."
Lucy looked at her friend with knowing eyes, a tinge of sadness in her voice, "Yeah, they're pretty goofy sometimes, but I love them, and my mom definitely liked you. I wish I could have met yours…"
Silence dragged on as Lucy wondered if she shouldn't have said so much, but finally, in a soft voice, Levy spoke up, "I wish you could have met them too Lu, they would have loved you." Levy gave the blonde a sad smile, "It's been hard without them, but at least now I don't have to live alone anymore, now I have you."
Lucy stared at her friend with wide eyes, putting on a wide smile for her friend, who she couldn't stand seeing so sad, and rolled over to hug the small girl with all her might. "You won't ever have to be alone anymore Levy, you can come with me when I go home for breaks if you want, and I'll always be here for you!"
The small girl stayed still for a second, in shock at her friend's kind words, and then a huge, genuine smile spread across her cheeks as she hugged her back. "Thank you so much Lucy, you're a great friend! I wish we knew each other sooner!"
The girls stayed like that for quite some time, just hugging and smiling, that is, until their door busted open. "Alright girls, room check!" The girls sprang up and stared at the doorway, or rather, they stared with wide eyes at the girl who had flung open their door. The girl was probably no more than a year or two older than themselves, with fiery red hair, practically scarlet, that covered one of her dark brown eyes. She wore a simple blue pleated skirt with a white, frilly tank top, and black boots reaching her knees. The girls stared a bit too long as the redhead grew impatient and pushed her way through the room, looking in all the drawers, "If you have any alcohol or paraphernalia I will find it. I hope for your sake you girls aren't hiding anything."
Levy was the first to shake out of her initial shock, "N-no ma'am, we don't have anything like that here. Would you happen to be our RA-?"
Lucy then jumped in, a small surge of rage in her, "You can't just barge in here like that, RA or not! You still have to knock! It's just rude not to!"
The blunette looked at her blonde friend with a horrified expression as the scarlet haired girl closed the dresser she was currently looking in and walked over to the two with an unreadable expression, "I'm sorry," the girl looked down and shook an angry fist, "I'm sorry that I did not respect your privacy, I should have knocked, please forgive me!" She quickly looked up at them with a look of sorrow, "You may strike me if you wish!"
Both girls deadpanned, they looked at each other and then redirected their attention to the girl who was now kneeling before them. Lucy spoke first, "Look, I'm sorry, I blew up at you and it's really not that big of a deal, I mean you're just doing your job, its okay, really!"
Levy then continued on, kneeling down to bring the girl back to her feet, "We probably wouldn't have heard you knock anyway! Let's start over alright? I'm Levy, and this is Lucy, and you are?"
The scarlet haired woman recovered quickly once the short girl introduced them, "My name is Erza; I am indeed your resident advisor. Forgive me, it's my first year and I just wanted to do a decent job at it, I will keep my manners in mind in the future." She took both girls into a skull crushing hug as she slammed them into her chest, "I hope we can be friends despite my rude intrusion. I came to check up on you girls and see that you were getting along with moving in, and to tell you that there will be a gathering for all new students staying in Fairy Tail Hall on the main floor at nine, a party of sorts, to welcome you all to our family."
The two girls struggled for breath in the woman's tight hold as she smiled down at them, "Nice to… meet you Erza…" Lucy choked out.
"We'll… make sure to be there…" Levy choked on her own words as she finished the blonde's sentence, her face turning the color of her hair.
Erza released the two girls and grinned at them as she began making her way out of the room, "Good, I expect to see you both!" She barked. Then she was gone, leaving the door wide open.
Lucy and Levy leaned their hands on their knees as they both struggled to breathe normally, "Well," Lucy said between breaths, "that was, weird, to say the least."
Levy looked over at Lucy and concurred, "I'll say, this year will definitely be interesting."
The two friends fell back onto Lucy's bed and stared at the ceiling, "Yeah," Lucy said with hope, "It definitely will be."
The next chapter should be a little longer, but I felt this was necessary to introduce at least one of the other characters, and of course it had to be Erza! I also touched a little more on Lucy's relationships. Lucy's dad is overprotective and overbearing, but still a goofball, I felt it was fitting with her mother still being alive. Lucy already sees Levy as a sister and the two girls are extremely close after such a short time, they talked about EVERYTHING with each other before they moved into their dorm.
Letters will be updated on Saturday, so look forward to that if you follow it!
Feel free to leave a review, follow, favorite, whatever suits your fancy!
