Chapter 1- New Member
"Spetto-san, what is that place?" Young Lucy asked.
"That's the wizard guild, Fairy Tail," Spetto said.
"Sugoi." She said in awe and continued to stare at the large building in the distance.
Lucy POV
"I can't believe I'm doing this," I said to myself as I walked through the streets of Magnolia.
Lucy had been able to sneak out of her house again and took a carriage to Magnolia. She had left with a couple of outfits, her doll Michelle, the keys her mother left her, and quite a lot of money she had saved up.
I was on my way to the guild Fairy Tail. Ever since that mysterious girl saved me from my runaway carriage, all I could think about was joining Fairy Tail. So, I decided to do it, even when I had only met her last night. She showed me the kind of thing I wanted to experience someday.
"It's so big..." I stared at the sign that read 'Fairy Tail.' I took a deep breath and held my hand out, grasping the door handle. I swung it open and was surprisingly unnoticed. Everyone was laughing, drinking, and fighting. Some of the members looked scary, but I could see some friendly faces and some children probably about my age. I walked towards the bar, careful not to bump into anyone but failed to notice someone flying towards me.
Natsu POV
"Fight me, ice princess!" I shouted at Gray as I got into a fighting position.
"You're on, fire breath!" He shouted and went into his Ice-Make position.
"Not here you two! Erza is walking this way with cake!" Lisanna shouted, but we ignored her.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"Ice-Make: Lance!" Gray and I attacked each other mercilessly and failed to notice the scarlet-haired devil mage sit nearby with a slice of strawberry cake.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" I shouted and aimed my attack at Gray. You could say that it is my least perfected attack and has a tendency to backfire. I flew backward and landed on something squishy. Dear Mavis, why Erza's cake?!
"Natsu!" Erza shouted and drew her sword, her aura darkening around her.
"N-Now Erza, i-i-it was an a-accident," I said and held my hands up to reason with her. She gripped the handle of her sword and rammed it against my chin, sending me flying. I twisted around to try and land safely but didn't expect for there to be a stranger in front of me.
"Watch out!" I shouted. She turned to look at me, freezing in her spot. Knowing that I was going to crash, I held out my arms and enveloped her in a hug. We rammed through three tables and one support beam, ending our journey against the wall.
"O-Oi Erza, I think you took it too far," Gray sweatdropped. I winced and sat up with the girl in my arms. I moved her head up to get a better look at her face and stared at her shut eyes and shaking form.
"You okay?" I asked as I began to inspect her for wounds.
"Y-Yeah. Kinda dizzy, though." She grumbled and rubbed her eyes.
"K-Kawaii," I mumbled with a slight blush and stood up, holding her in my grasp.
"I've never seen you around here before, are you visiting your mama or somethin?" I asked, sniffing her to try and see if it resembled the scent of anyone I knew. She smelled like strawberries and cream, making my mouth water for a snack.
"N-No! I actually came here to join Fairy Tail." She mumbled and took herself from my arms.
"Really?! I'll take you to Jii-chan then!" I exclaimed and grabbed her hand, taking her up to the second level.
Normal POV
"Did you see that?!" Enno squealed. "Natsu was so cute!"
"And that little blonde girl was so adorable! She had Natsu blushing and I swear he called her cute!" Mickey exclaimed and clapped her hands together along with the older guild members surrounding her.
"What's everyone freaking out about? Natsu was only talking to some girl." Gray mumbled with a scowl on his face.
"Who was that anyway? I've never seen her around here before." Lisanna asked with a curious tilt of her head.
"I'm not sure, but Natsu brought her up to Master. We should find out soon enough." Erza hummed.
"Even Natsu has found someone and he's only eight." Macao sighed as his head smacked against the wooden table.
"It's all good buddy. Natsu's too young to figure out what love is and by that time you'll already have a son." Wakaba mused and pat his back.
Master POV
There was a knock on my door as I was going through bills of what had been destroyed by the guild.
"Come in," I called out to the small unknown presence behind the wooden entryway. The door opened and a short blonde girl in a pink dress walked in.
"A-Are you the master?" She asked timidly.
"Yes. Who might you be, child?" I asked and got up from my chair.
"I'm Lucy Heartfilia. I was wondering if I could j-join your guild." She said timidly as she bunched the ends of her dress.
"Of course! We accept new members all the time! Let me get the stamp." I said and walked over to the side drawer and pulled out the stamp press.
"What color and where do you want it?"
"Umm... On my right hand in pink," Lucy smiled softly. I nodded and smiled when it was done.
"Where are your parents?" I asked. She stiffened a bit and gave me an answer.
"I-I lost them in a recent accident." She said quietly and turned her eyes towards the ground. Her shaky demeanor led me to believe that her story was a lie, but I accepted her statement either way.
"If you don't have anywhere else to stay, you can have a room in our female dorms, Fairy Hills. You won't have to pay rent till you're old enough for missions." I said.
"Thank you very much!." She chided and bowed. This child seemed to act too sophisticated for her age. Must've come from a rich family, I assumed.
"Let's go introduce you to the other members, young one," I smiled and pat her head as I led her back downstairs.
Everyone looked my way as I jumped up on the bar and carried the little one up with me.
"Jii-chan! You knocked over my strawberries!" Natsu whined.
"Deal with it, brat. Minna, meet our new member, Lucy!" I grinned widely and pushed her forward as everyone shouted out welcomes.
"She's so kawaii!" The female members squealed as they glomped her into their arms.
Natsu POV
I squeezed my way through the group of people fangirling over Lucy and walked over to Gray and everyone else.
"Who's she, flame brain?" Gray scoffed and crossed his arm.
"Master just told you, baka. She's Lucy. Our new member." I growled.
"Why don't you make some friends?" Macao said as he set Lucy down in front of us.
"N-Nice to meet you. I'm L-Lucy." She mumbled as she bowed.
"Don't stutter! That shows weakness!" Gray hissed at her with a glare.
"Gomen!" She flinched and began to tear up.
"Gray! Don't make her cry!" Erza scolded him and hit him on the head.
"Don't listen to him. I'm Levy." Levy chimed in as she held a hand out to Lucy.
"Nice to meet you, Levy-chan." Lucy blinked her watery eyes away and returned the gesture.
"I'm Lisanna. This is my brother Elfman and our older sister is out on a mission." Lisanna said with a wave.
"Nice to meet you two." She waved back slowly.
"Please forgive Gray, he's an idiot. I'm Erza." Erza smiled and grabbed Lucy's hand, shaking it vigorously.
"I just hope I didn't offend him," Lucy said and looked over Erza's shoulder to get a good look at Gray, who was sulking in the corner. My heart thumped roughly as I glared at her attention fixed on the stripper. I liked it much better when she looked at me.
"Just ignore him, Luce. Ice princess is always like that." I explained and turned her around.
"Luce?" She asked, her cheeks dusting a light red.
"Yeah, your new nickname!" I said with a wide grin.
"Enough with names already! Tell us what kind of magic you use!" Levy inquired.
"Oh, I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage. I don't have enough magical energy to summon any spirits except for Plue, but I know how to do this!" Lucy smiled and walked over to a table, climbing up it to sit crisscross style. She put her hands together and took a couple of deep breaths as she began to concentrate. She stayed still for a few moments, causing us to become antsy for something to happen before I felt the wind shift. Lucy's hair swayed lightly in the breeze and there was a sudden flash of light and we shielded our eyes. The light died down for us to see it surrounding and flowing around her in a ring in the most beautiful way.
"Jii-chan, look! It looks just like fire!" I cried excitedly. He nodded, smiling, and I ran up to see if I could grab it. My hand fell into the soft cloud her magic created and gripped onto the fluffy yellow flames she created.
"Sugoi! It's really sweet!" I grinned, Lucy opened her eyes and the magic slowly disappeared from around her.
"That was amazing Lu-chan!" Levy complimented as Lucy got down from the table.
"T-Thank you!" Lucy giggled with a small blush.
"Yeah! And it tasted really good. Are you a fire mage too?" I asked excitedly.
"I don't think so... My mom taught me that. It helps channel your magic energy."
"Do you know how to fight?" Erza asked, her chest puffing with pride and confidence in her strength, thoughts of molding Lucy into another warrior filled her head.
"No, not really," Lucy said sheepishly.
"I'll teach you then! If you can create fire then I can teach you anything you want!" I said excitedly, my fist shrouding in flames as I pumped it into the air.
"I think Lucy would benefit more if I taught her," Erza glared and shoved the blonde behind her.
"Lucy could be a fire mage! I'll be the one who teaches her!" I pouted and took Lucy from her.
Gray POV
I watched Natsu and Erza fight over Lucy and I scoffed at their behavior.
"She would benefit more if I taught her," I mumbled.
"So you do have a crush on her?" Lisanna giggled suddenly from behind me. I fell out of my seat and looked up at her.
"W-What would make you think that?" I asked and crossed my arms, looking away as my cheeks heated up.
"I'm not stupid Gray. I can see that you like her." She teased, holding out her hand to help me up.
"So what if I do?" I asked.
"Then I'll need your help with something."
Hope you like it! Lol I really love this story cx
