A/N: Sorry if this chapter is also short and for taking a while to update! I had to go to an electronic free camp for a week. I think I may just do short frequent chapters from now on.

A thousand tiny needles seemed to be lodged in Lucy's feet by the time she had reached the city of Magnolia. She had walked sixteen feet crushing miles to arrive at Porlyusica's School of Medicine. After seven half-hearted knocks, the door of the institute finally swung open and a woman leaned out. However her red hood with gargantuan claws seemed to hide her face. "Miss Lucy Heartfilia?"Lucy could barley nod her head in response to the concealed stranger before a feeling of nausea overpowered her and she collapsed on the freezing, unforgiving pavement.

******** Time Lapse ********

Bowling balls seemed to be hanging from Lucy's eyelids as she begrudgingly opened her aching eyes. No matter how hard she concentrated on ignoring the swelling pain, the waves of dizziness crashing upon her and her smoldering feet intent on showing her what lava felt like almost made her heave in agony. The blinding florescent light only made tears spring in her already sore eyes and even the small groans she emitted clawed at her throat. After several desperate attempts at readjusting her eyes, she realized the majority of her body was covered in bandages, bruises, or a white fluffy cream with an odd metallic smell to it. The thought of the amount of blood needed to render enough bandages that she looked like a mummy almost made her pass out, but the sight of the peculiar visitor on her bedside made her freeze in shock. She had straight light pink hair speckled with gray strands and was also dotted with sagging wrinkles that highly contrasted with her sharp facial features. Heavy bags seemed to trace her red eyes and without asking, Lucy knew she had tended for her all night. However that's not what made her gape in shock, the unknown visitor wore a humongous red cloak coated with real dazzling dragon scales and had at least six four feet dragon claws erupting around its hood. Dragon scales were 50x stronger than carbon fiber (the strongest material on Earth), more flexible than rubber but would only flex should the wearer want it, and is more alluring than any gem in the world. A single scale could buy all the property of the great city, Hong Kong, on a bad day. With her whole cloak she could buy all of Asia. To top things off a little flame was embedded on each left hand corner to show that it was fire- resistant. The amount of power, money, and influence she would need to buy this was ghastly. Before Lucy could even squeak however, a scratchy high-pitched voice cut her off.

"What were you thinking walking sixteen miles without a decent break and collapsing on my door step?"

"You're just like your mother, but at least she had me and my numerous talents by her side!"

"Your father told me in advance so no charge will be placed upon you but do you know much I spent on those bandages you're wearing?"

"Based on your face I can tell you want me to stop talking, but you can think again because you deserve at least this much for being reckless and causing me all this trouble."

"Do you even know how hard it is to clean blood off of concrete? Huh! That's the last straw, I officially hate humans!"

Endless Questions seemed to crash on Lucy's mind, especially about her mother, but all she could stutter was, "s-s-scales?"

With an exasperated sigh the sassy nurse exclaimed, "I'm a dragon! Honestly what do humans expect when we turn into our human form? Why would we be defenseless babes that had no glamorous armor on even though we had it at disposal?"

That was the only part of the loathsome rant she heard before a terrible pounding seemed to fill her head. At first the pain was only a dull constant throb that she couldn't quite ignore, but it quickly escalated into a searing pain that made her want to double over. For the second time that day she collapsed, but as she sunk into her blissful mattress that seemed to be a byproduct of heaven, she thought she saw a pink haired angel stare at hey with his beautiful onyx colored eyes.
