Lucy:

Fairy Tail.

Just two simple words that had changed my life as a broke, teenage girl with only a couple keys to a passionate woman with a league of spirits. I had gone from a girl without a loving family that only cared for its riches to a woman with a family that gave her love and affection every day. It was a dream come true.

Just imagining a life without my best friends by my side every day was impossible because thinking of them put a smile on my face. It felt like I was walking on sunshine as I stepped up to the guild hall where the excited shouts of happiness awaited me.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the wooden door with my fingertips where rather than a group of grins and smiles awaited me, a massive table went flying towards my body. My eyes widened with shock just as I dove to the ground in fear. The wooden table landed just behind me before smashing into a pile of splinters and shards.

"FLAME BRAIN!"

"POPSICLE!"

"CHERRY HEAD!"

"SNOWMAN!"

My heart beating faster than a cheetah could run, I slowly lifted myself up and brushed my skirt off, tiny pieces of wood flying off with a cloud of dust. Inside the guild, a boy with salmon hair and a shirtless teenager were bickering, firing offensive insults at each other. 

The boy with the salmon hair happened to be one of the most powerful wizards in the world, given by his dragon father, while the other boy wielded strong ice magic that could freeze anyone in his way.

With a look of dismay, I cautiously stepped past them and hurried to the bar area where a tall glass of ice cold lemonade sat. A girl with lengthy hair the color of freshly falling snow gave me a knowing wink as she surveyed the mess behind me. Mirajane Strauss, the devil incarnate and also S-class mage, scrubbed empty mugs that Cana Alberona (world class drunk) probably emptied.

"Lucy! Looks like you managed to get here at the worst time possible. At least you're used to this by now, right?" she said with a small smile. I nodded at her gave my attention to the fight while sipping my lemonade.

"Go Natsu!" I cheered, pumping my fist into the air.

Gray glared daggers at me while Natsu waved happily and gave me a huge grin. Across the room, an angry blue haired girl was quite literally boiling with anger as vapor burst from her mouth. Steam was coming off of Juvia Lockser in large waves that had caused Romeo Conbolt to wrinkle his nose and sit at a different table.

"LUCY WILL NOT HURT JUVIA'S GREY-SAMA!!!!"

I froze in place like a statue when Juvia's enraged scream met my ringing ears. In the matter of a few seconds, gallons of boiling hot water cascaded down my body and I fell to the ground from the bar stool, whimpering as the water slowly burned my fair skin. I groaned in substantial pain and decided to just lay there, not feeling like getting up to face her wrath.

"HOW DARE YOUR GIRLFRIEND HURT LUCY!" Natsu yelled, smoke coming out from his ears as he watched the mess unfold.

"HOW DARE YOUR GIRLFRIEND CHEER YOU ON!" Gray retaliated, shooting me an angry glance that made Juvia practically melt into a puddle.

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"

"STOP THIS NONSENSE!" 

S-class mage and warrior, Erza Scarlet, strided in and grabbed their ears, pulling them away from each other. 

"Natsu go get Lucy and make sure she's okay considering her dusty hair makes her look seventy years old. We are going to do a mission, now. Lucy doesn't have enough money to pay rent for her apartment," she growled, pushing Natsu in the shoulder with her sword.

"Yes Erza," they muttered with a quick roll of their eyes. 

Natsu walked over to me while rubbing his swollen ear and held out his hand, a small smile on his toned face. I gratefully took it and he pulled me up, causing me to hit his chest hard, the air knocked out of my lungs. I quickly pushed away, hoping nobody had noticed the odd exchange, and walked to the board where fliers for missions were pinned. Luckily no one was waiting for a new request. Some people did that so they could call first dibs.

"Hey, here's one," I pointed out to the growing crowd behind me. Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy the exceed came over and looked over my shoulder. I could feel the hot hair each one breathed down my neck, causing me to wrinkle my nose and shiver.

Natsu tugged one of my pigtails and grinned at my reaction. "Well, what does it say Luce?"

My stomach fluttered a little when he said my nickname. "Well, we just have to go to Clover and disguise ourselves at a restaurant to find a criminal wizard from a dark guild. It says here that the client has our costumes and that the girls," I paused for a few seconds, "have to be maids and the guys, customers. It's for 500,000 jewels too!" 

Natsu and Happy high fived each other and started dancing like idiots, a smile forming on my face at our group and I felt a warm feeling bloom in my heart. I loved Team Natsu and I especially loved being in Fairy Tail.

This was my family and I couldn't dream of anything else.
