AN: So this is going to be my second Fairy Tail story! This one was inspired by the anime Nana for a few parts, and also a song by The Cab (which I will reference later on in the last chapter). This is an AU but everyone can still use their magic :) based in modern times as well. Feel free to review! I'm writing these stories just for fun. Also please go check out wisdomk6909! She is writing an awesome Gajeel/Levy story and don't forget to review for her! Mostly going to be a Loke/Lucy, Gajeel/Levy. Possibly some Gray/Lucy? Fluff and possible smut in later chapters!

Side note: So Loke was never a celestial spirit in this, but he still can use his Regulus/ring magic and he tends to disguise himself on stage.

Lucy closed her cell phone after talking with her best friend and old college roommate, Levy McGarden. Lucy was going to move in with her since her parents had both just passed away and her grandmother could no longer take care of her. Lucy inherited some money from her parents and told Levy she could help out with the rent and that she would get a job as soon as possible. Levy simply told her not to worry about it, but told Lucy she was more than welcome to help out with the groceries. The two girls haven't seen each other in a few years, so both were very excited to see each other. Lucy boarded the train in Hargeon, headed to Magnolia. She only took one suitcase with her to make her travel a bit easier. Opening the last cart door, she looks around before closing it behind her. 'The train is really packed today…' She thought to herself. She noticed an empty seat with a man sitting on the other side of the booth. She walks over and smiles at the young man who looked roughly about her age. "Hey! Is it ok if I sit here? Every cart on this train seems to be full."

The man looks up at the girl and smiles, "No please, sit." Lucy thanks him and sits down, setting her suitcase on the seat next to her. She sighs contently and puts her hands in her lap. The man had his elbow on the window and his chin lightly resting on it. He was wearing a green jacket with a fur hood. The open jacket revealed an orange shirt that matched his orange hair. It was spiked wildly. He had a small hoop earring with two small studs right above it on his left ear. His pants were dark and slightly baggy for the man who sat opposite her. He had olive green eyes that hid behind blue sun glasses. Lucy decided to break the ice and began to speak.

"My name's Lucy!" She said with a kind and gentle smile, extending her hand out to the man. He looks from her hand to her, and after a moment, he leans in, smiling back at her, shaking her hand.

"Loke." He leans back in his seat. "So what brings you to this train on this fine evening?" He said with a slight flirty tone.

She looks down at her feet, "Well… my grandmother couldn't keep me in anymore so I asked my old roommate to help. I also have another reason for why I'm headed for Magnolia… but I'm sure you don't want to hear it." She blushes slightly.

"Well I'm in need of a good story for this long train ride, so go ahead and tell me." Loke said as he smiles at her. She looked up at him with excitement.

"Well, you see… there's this really famous band that lives there, and I'm totally in love with them! Especially the guitarist. Gray Fullbuster! He's so hunky and he totally rocks the guitar! I'm not saying that the singer and the drummer aren't totally awesome, but there's something about Gray that I just…" She sighs and blushes. "My friend got some tickets for their show at the end of the year and I just can't wait! So I'm going to get a job as soon as I reach Magnolia and save up as much money as I can!" She raises her fist and has a determined look on her face.

"Fullbuster, huh?" He said to himself, keeping his eyes and smile on her. "What's the band's name?"

"Oh my gosh! I completely forgot to mention that! I just get so worked up I forget that some people don't know what I'm talking about! They're called The Iron Lions." She blushes and puts her hands to her cheeks. "I just can't wait to see them on stage! They are so amazing! Oh! I actually have a magazine I bought just today to read while I rode the train… didn't think I was going to have anyone to talk to." She giggles to herself as she reaches into her suitcase, pulling out a magazine. "Ok so! This is Gajeel Redfox; he's the band's drummer. Kinda scary lookin' if you ask me. This is Leo, the singer. His voice is so amazing! I'm not that crazy about his outfit. He just looks… out of place almost? And this is Gray Fullbuster! The guitarist. Oh man, just looking at his picture makes me melt!" She blushes more and holds the magazine to her chest.

"Sounds like you know quite a bit about them." Loke said with a laugh.

Lucy set the magazine down on the seat and looks up at him. "Yeah… I can't help it. Their music is so… inspiring. The singer really knows how to sing to your very soul it seems. I read that he writes all the lyrics to every song and the other two help with the music part. If I ever get to meet them, I think it would be a dream come true!" Loke smirks and adjusts his shades on his nose.

"Maybe one day your dream will come true, Miss Lucy."

She blushes at his comment and looks around at the train cart, trying to avoid his green eyes that seemed to make her stomach flip and her heart beat slightly faster. He smiles at her once more before looking back out the window, awaiting the stop at Magnolia. Lucy picks up the magazine and begins reading it.

After many hours, the train's whistle blew and the train began to slow down to a halt. The conductor came on the PA system and announced they had reached Magnolia. Lucy gathered up her things and followed Loke out of the booth and into the train station. Once they were off the train, Loke turned to Lucy.

"Well it was very nice meeting you Lucy." He holds out his hand to her. She goes to shake his hand when he grips it lightly and brings it up to his lips. She blushes and gasps slightly. He kisses it gently and smirks. "Perhaps we will see each other again, gorgeous." Her face turns even redder after those words leave his lips. The words when he spoke were smooth and just seemed to roll off his tongue. Loke smiles as he turns and walks away, leaving Lucy in her spot, holding her hand up to her chest.

"Lucy! Hey!"

Lucy turned around and saw her little friend running to greet her. "Levy!"

Loke put his hand on the open limo door and turned to see Lucy greeting her friend that met her up at the station. He recognized the young friend and smiled. Knowing full well that he would see that young blonde woman again very soon. He dips down and enters the limo.

"It's about time you showed up… we've been waiting in here for hours!"

Loke looked to the drummer who had his arms stretched out over the limo seat; he was munching on some metal pieces. His attire was mostly all black. His shirt had no sleeves and was torn at the ends. He wore fingerless leather gloves and white baggy pants with heavy boots. His hair was black as night and wildly spiked back. He had metal studs almost everywhere that could be seen on his body along with scars running over his arms. With studs where his eye brows should be, he sat there glaring at the orange haired singer.

"Oh cut him some slack, Gajeel. The train probably left late from Hargeon." The man with the dark blue hair said on the other side of the limo. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a black tank underneath. He had black pants on with boots on as well. He wore a bracelet on his right wrist and had a scar above his left eye on his forehead. He also had a silver necklace with a cross hanging from it.

Loke shut the door and sighed. "Yes, unfortunately the train did leave a tad bit late. Thank you Gray."
"Yeah and then you were trying to pick up Blondie over there. Probably another groupie." Gajeel said gruffly and with a smirk.

"Please don't tell me you were keeping us here for hours because you trying to pick up chicks again Loke. Man, always flirting with ladies, proclaiming to be the ladies man of the group just because you're the singer." Gray added in as he rubbed his head.

Loke just laughed a bit and ran his hand through his mane. "No boys… I'm afraid that she was after another heart. I was just giving a friendly goodbye kiss on the hand is all. Nothing more."

"Well then let's get the hell out of here! I'm all out of metal and I'm still hungry!" Gajeel shouted to the driver and kicked at the bottom of the limo. The driver jumped as he felt the power of the kick all the way from the back of the vehicle and started the car. The limo sped away from the station and headed to the hotel where the men were currently staying at.

Levy hugs her friend tightly before taking her suitcase in hand. Lucy protested but Levy ignored her. "Come on Lucy! My apartment is this way!" Lucy smiled and followed her. Levy was slightly shorter than Lucy, and her hair was blue as the sky. She usually kept it held back by a headband, but today she had it tied back with her bangs hanging down over her face. She was wearing a cute little green dress with a strap going around her neck. It had white trim and a white bow where the strap had been stitched to the dress. She wore green sandals on her small feet and had a slight skip in her step.

"You seem really chipper today Levy. Anything interesting happen while I've been away?" Lucy asked with smirk. The blue haired girl giggled and looked over to Lucy.

"Well... I've been seeing someone for about a year now. And you won't believe who it is!"

"Tell me Levy! Don't keep secrets from me; I am your best friend after all!" Lucy said as she wrapped an arm around Levys' neck. Levy giggled and shook her head.

"Nope! This time I'm not gonna tell you anything! You'll meet him later tonight, I promise! I've invited him over with a couple of his friends!"

Lucy gasps, "You know what this means then, don't you?!"

Both girls jump up and shout together, "Shopping!"

Lucy and Levy enter the small store and Lucy's' eyes light up. "Wow… this store is so cute!" Levy nods her head and pulls Lucy over to the aisle with little trinkets and gifts.

"Lucy come over here! There a lot of cute things in this aisle!" Levy said. They both look up and down the tiny section of gifts. Lucy's eyes catch something and she gasps. Levy looks over at her in excitement, "What is it?! What did you find?"

Lucy holds up glass cups with cute little fruits decorated around the top of the cups. Giggling she says, "Theses are so cute! Don't you think Levy?" Her friend nods and takes them from Lucy's hands. "Hey what are you doing Levy?"

"Well as your friend, think of these as a welcome to your new home gift!" Levy smiles and runs up to the checkout counter before Lucy could stop her. Lucy picks up some groceries for dinner and checks out herself. Levy takes a couple bags from Lucy and leads her to the apartment. It was a newer building that had 10 floors in it. It even had its own private garden and pool for the residents. Lucy stood in front of the building in awe and Levy just giggled at her.

"Come on Lucy, this is nothing compared to the inside of the building! And I got lucky; I'm on the first floor!" They walked through the double doors into the building. Levy was at the very end of the hallway. She unlocked the door and pushed it open. Lucy once again stood there, not believing what she was seeing. The apartment was huge. There was a kitchen with all new appliances, and an open window frame in the wall. There was a round booth with a table in the middle of it. The living room had a couch and chairs with a cute little coffee table. There was a flat screen TV sitting on a stand a few feet away. "Wow Levy… this place is so nice… And the rent isn't that expensive I'm surprised."

Levy sets down the groceries on the kitchen counter and started putting them away. "Well I do some extra work for the owner of the building. He owns a library in town and I help him off the clock so he knocks down the price of my apartment." She smiles. "He really is a nice man; I've known him for many years now. So when he offered me this place, I was more than happy to take it!"

Lucy walks into the kitchen and watches Levy. "That's awesome Levy. Like I said, I'm going to go find a job after I settle in. then I can help you out with the rent!"

"Oh, Levy, you're back. And you brought a friend I see." A deep voice said.

Lucy turned expecting to see a person standing behind her, but when she turns, she sees a cat. He was all black with a small scar on his left eye. His ears looked more like one of a panther, and his tail looked slightly longer than a normal cats. Lucy jumped back, completely shocked. "A cat?! When did you get a cat Levy?!"

"Well actually, that's my boyfriends' cat." She goes over and picks up the small kitty, snuggling him in her arms. "And his name is Pantherlily! Or Lily for short!" Pantherlily blushes and tells her not to call him that. Lucy laughs, "Wow your boyfriend sounds like he's such a sweet guy. Having a cat and letting him stay here with you. Doesn't he have his own place?"

"Well he never is in one place for very long. He stays in hotels and sometimes he'll stay here, but he just wants Lily to be somewhere familiar so he won't get so upset when he's not here to love on him. Isn't that right Lily?" She said as she snuggles the black cat once again. She sets Pantherlily down and looks at Lucy. "Come on Lucy, I'll show you to your room." They walk down the skinny hallway, and turn to the empty room on the right. The room was a little small, but still looked quite cozy. There was a bed, a nightstand, a desk and dresser included with the room. The window had a little space to sit with a couple of pillows on each side. There was a closet and another door neck to it. "What's in there Levy?" Levy strolled over to the other door and opened it.

"It's the master bathroom! It has two sinks, a shower and even a bathtub! It looks more like a Jacuzzi, but it's a tub none of the less."

"But this is your apartment; wouldn't you want this room for the master bathroom?"

"Oh Lucy, I forgot to mention that there are two master bathrooms in this apartment. My room is slightly bigger, but other than that, everything is the same! The man who built this building wanted to make things fair for multiple roommates in one apartment." Lucy couldn't believe it. How could Levy come across such an awesome person? A part of her wanted to meet this guy one day.

Levy went back to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Lucy sat in the booth, watching her friend cook. "Say didn't you tell me that you were writing a book Levy?" Levy nods, and says that it wasn't ready for prying eyes. Suddenly the door buzzed.

"Say Lucy, can you go answer the door? I can't because I'm cooking and Lily is helping me out." Levy said with a smile. Lucy got up and went to the door. She swung it open without looking to see who was here through the peep hole. Her eyes widen as soon as she saw who was standing before her. "Y-You're…-"
