~Tuesday~
"We have a new student," Miss Andrew told her fifth grade class. A girl with pink pigtails and big blue eyes stood beside her. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"
"My name is Cheria Blendy," the little girl said shyly. "I-it's nice to meet you all."
"There's an empty seat over there," Miss Andrew said, pointing to the back table. Cheria quickly walked back. All the tables were round and had four people sitting at them. This one only had three. She awkwardly sat down in the empty seat.
"My name is Romeo," the boy with spikey black hair introduced himself. She blushed. She thought he was really cute.
"I'm Yukino," the girl with short white hair spoke. She smiled brightly.
"I'm Wendy!" the last girl said. "I hope we can be friends!"
"I hope so too," Cheria said, smiling faintly.
"Cheria, we are just drawing pictures today," Miss Andrew said, setting a few blank pieces of paper in front of her new student. "We are learning about environments, so you need to draw a few. Just ask your table-mates if you need help."
"Yukino, look at my forest!" Romeo said happily, holding up his paper.
"Romeo," Yukino giggled. "Dragons aren't in forests."
"They aren't?" Wendy asked. She was also drawing a dragon in her forest.
"Dragons aren't even real," Cheria laughed.
"They are too!" Wendy and Romeo yelled at once.
"What about Igneel, the fire dragon?" Romeo asked.
"Or Grandine, the sky dragon?" Wendy asked. "And don't forget about Metalicana!"
"No one likes the iron dragon, Wendy," Romeo said.
"Uh-huh!" she defended herself. "He's cool! Not as cool as Grandine and Igneel, but still cool!"
"Are you two arguing about dragons again?" a boy with blue hair asked, pulling a chair up. Cheria noticed the weird tattoo on his face.
"M-Mystogen," Wendy stuttered, blushing.
"Of course!" Romeo boasted. "Its the best topic!"
"Oh I know," Mystogen said. He held up his forest picture. He drew a dragon, as well. "Grandine is my favorite, too." He flashed a cheeky grin, making Wendy blush more. Romeo noticed this and got mad.
"Metalicana is pretty cool," he said, crossing his arms.
"I thought you said you didn't like him?" Yukino asked. She was mad that Romeo was mad about Wendy blushing at Mystogn. Cheria thought they had the weirdest crush-triangle ever.
"I was just kidding!" Romeo exclaimed.
"You guys are funny," Cheria laughed. "I like that."
"We should all play today," Yukino suggested.
"I vote Wendy's house!" Romeo added.
"Why my house?" Wendy asked.
"I like your house," Mystogen said.
"I guess my house it is," Wendy said, blushing. "I'll ask Mom." She pulled out her cell phone and texted Ur. She was given a phone with minutes, rather than unlimited, just in case of an emergency. A few minutes later, Ur texted back. "She said we can!"
"Awesome!" Romeo cheered.
"I'll right down my address for you, okay?" Wendy asked Cheria. "You can ride the bus to my house, though."
Cheria smiled. She already made friends.

"Last one in's a rotten egg!" Romeo laughed, running up Wendy's driveway. Everyone laughed and followed after him. Sadly, Cheria and Wendy tripped after a few steps. The other three quickly ran to them.
"You never change, do you?" Mystogen asked, laughing. He helped the red-faced Wendy up. She was pretty embarrassed that she fell, even though it happens all the time.
"How are we going to handle two klutzes?" Romeo asked, helping Cheria up. The pink haired girl blushed when Romeo grabbed her hand.
"Whoa, are you guys okay?" Gray asked, walking outside. He almost laughed when he saw Wendy blushing, standing next to Mystogen. Jellal told him before that Mystogen liked Wendy, too. They mutually decided that it would cool to be brother-in-laws.
"Gray!" Wendy said happily, running up to her brother. She jumped up in his arms. He easily caught her. She wrapped he arms and legs around him and hugged him.
"You miss me way to much in a day," Gray laughed. "Lucy isn't even this clingy."
"Whose Lucy?" Cheria whispered to Yukino.
"It's his girlfriend," Yukino whispered back. "She's really pretty and fun. She was a but scary at first, but she's nice now."
"Gray, that is Cheria," Wendy said, pointing to her new friend. "She's our new friend."
Gray set Wendy down and walked over to Cheria. He knelt down in front of her. Her face turned slightly pink. "I'm Gray, Wendy's older brother. It's nice to meet you." He smiled and she smiled back. She was under the impression that all older brothers were mean and stupid, but he didn't seem to be.
"How long does it take to get the mail?!" someone asked angrily, stomping out of the house. Cheria looked and saw a woman with long violet hair. They looked at each other a few seconds. "You are so cute!" The woman ran up and picked Cheria up, spinning her around.
"Ultear!" Wendy complained. "Stop it!" She tugged on her sister's shirt. Ultear sighed and set her down. Cheria's head was spinning. She almost fell over, but Romeo grabbed her shoulders, helping her keep her balance.
"We should get inside before someone gets hurt," Gray laughed.

"Do you think she got lost?" Wendy asked. Cheria was the only friend left.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon," Gray assured the two girls. Wendy was sitting on his lap. Cheria was beside him on the floor.
Lyon entered the room, shaking his wet hair. He just got home for work an hour before and took a shower. He looked to Cheria briefly before sitting on the couch. The pinkette didn't particularly like him. He seemed too quiet.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"That's her!" Cheria said happily. She and Wendy ran to the door. Lyon walked out with them, realizing he forgot something in his car.
"Sherry!" Cheria said happily, seeing her sister on the other side of the door.
"Hey, Kid," Sherry said, pulling on Cheria's pigtails. The latter just giggled.
"I'm Wendy!" the bluenette introduced herself.
"You look like a nice kid," Sherry said. She smiled at the little girl. When a shadow appeared on Wendy's head, she looked up to see who was standing there. Her breathe caught in her throat.
"Bye Lyon," Cheria said blankly. She pushed passed her sister and walked to the car.
"Lyon," Sherry repeated his name. He looked up at her. She held her hand out. "Sherry Blendy. Thanks for letting Cheria come over."
"Anytime," Lyon said, shaking her hand. He was only being polite. He wasn't there long enough to even remember Cheria's name.
"Can Cheria come over again soon?" Wendy asked hopefully.
"Sure," Sherry said with a smile. She ruffled her hair effort going back to her car.
She was secretly hoping to see Lyon again.
This chapter had nothing to do with Gray and Lucy, I know. I just thought it would be nice to add some scenes with other characters.
