We just stare at each other in amazement. "What are you doing here I ask?"

"I live here" He says. "What are you doing here?" He asks.

"I live next door" I say astonished, who would think I would live by this guy.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Lola and Igneel say at the same time

""We don't "know" each other we met at the park when he challenged me to a game of basketball, and I won" I say smirking and looking over at Nastu.

"Oh, wow, my son actually got beat at basketball?" Igneel asked looking over at a now blushing Nastu.

"Psh, she got lucky and shot a 3 pointer and made it. All luck, no skill" He says with his arm crossed.

"Yeah right." I send him one of my glares. He swallows hard.

"Maybe not all luck, but mostly" He say correcting himself. I smile at him and look at his parents. They both have mischievous smiles.

"Anyone who can beat my son, and make him correct himself of his horrible word choice can be welcomed here at any time" Igneel says while looking at Nastu and me. We both look at each other and turn away.

"So, let's eat!" Lola says while putting her hands together.

We all sit down at the dinner table, silently eating. Just the noises of our forks clinking together on the plate.

"So, Lucy, what is your magic?" Lola ask kindly.

"Um..'' I stutter, "I don't have magic" I whisper. "That's why I 'am a trained black belt" I say again while looking at Nastu. He has stopped eating and is staring at me in disbelief.

"That's amazing! Being a black belt is something to be proud of, maybe you can teach my son some tricks!" Lola says while looking at Nastu.

"Ah-ah su-sure" I stutter again while blushing and looking down at my food.

"So, Lucy, tomorrow is your first day at Fairy Tail?" Igneel asked.

"Yes, it is" I say.

"Well then, Nastu my dear, will show you around" Lola said while finishing her last bite of her food.

"WHAT?" Nastu said, almost spitting out the food in his mouth. "Why do I have to?" He whines.

"Because honey, I said so" Lola said sternly.

"Yes mom." Nastu gulps.

"Thank you Lola" I saw while getting up and pushing in the chair. "I hope you like the cookies, they're really good".

"You're leaving all ready?" Lola asks frowning.

"Yeah, I should probably get home and into bed for my first day tomorrow" I say while waving her off and walking to the door. I open it, only for it to be shut. What the heck?

"Hey, so, we haven't properly met. I'm Nastu Dragneel" Nastu says while extending his hand out. I'm shocked, but extend my hand to meet his.

"Lucy" I say with a big smile. "So, I'm sorry for your mom saying that you have to show me around" I say while looking at the ground. "

"It's okay, I don't care, but now that you live so close, we're going to have to play basketball everyday against each other since I let you win! " He says while opening the door for me.

"Oh okay, yeah right." I say while stepping out on to their front porch. I look up, the sky is so beautiful tonight.

"Well, bye Luce" Nastu says while shutting the door. I stop the door before it closes.

"Luce?" I say

"Yeah, it's your nickname. Since we lice close, and are friends, I made up a nickname. Like it?" He says questionly"

"Yeah" I say, while smiling, "I do. Bye Nastu, see you tomorrow" I say while finally walking home. I open the door and Mara is right beside me asking a million questions.

"So, how did it go?" She asks smirking.

"Umm, it went good" I say while going for the stairs.

"Just good?" She ask, rising a brow.

"Yeah, I made a new friend, His name is Nastu" I turn away and walk up a few stairs.

"A boy?" Mara says

"Yes, Mara a boy" I say loudly while walking up a few more.

"Was he nice?" She says smirking again.

"Yeah…. Yeah, he was" I say while going to my door and opening it. I plop down on my bed, then remembering to switch clothes. I then get up, take a shower and go to bed. Tomorrow will be a good day.

I'M SO SORRY! I've been so busy, since there are only like a week, and 3 days left of school. I hope you like this chapter!
