New Destiny
Chapter One: Forgotten

Lucy was walking to the guild, a pep in her step. It was her birthday and she had a wide smile on her face as she passed people on the way. Her keys jingled at her side and she wore a special outfit today. It didn't show as much skin as her other ones but she still loved how it looked. Her blue top had a white collar at the top with a orange bow and she wore a white mini skirt. As always, she wore her long brown boots that went passed her knees.

A bright light appeared and Loke popped up right beside her. He brought up two fingers and pushed his sunglasses back, smirking at her. He brushed off his dark suit and fixed his red tie. His orange hair was pointing in all directions, and seemed to make ears, looking like a lion mane.

"I hear it's someone's birthday, you think she would want a birthday kiss?" He asked slyly.

Lucy laughed, balancing herself on the edge of the river. "No, I don't think so Loke."

"Well you look very cheerful, you excited for today? Maybe Fairy Tail has a surprise birthday party waiting for you. And maybe someone will confess their love for you." Loke draped his arm over her shoulder and winked, grinning widely.

"H-hey!" She started losing her balance and panic quickly replaced her smile.

With a splash, she fell in. Emerging from the river, she had a scowl on her face as she spit out water. She glared daggers at Loke, who seemed to still be looking forward and hadn't noticed her fall. If looks could kill, he would be ten feet under.

"Eh?" Loke turned around to see Lucy trying to pull herself up.

"Loke!" She screeched, failing to pull herself up and falling again.

"C-coming Princess." He laughed as he knelt down and lent a hand. "You got yourself in a quite a pickle I see. Not very graceful."

"You were the one who made me lose my balance!" Lucy argued, her face red from embarrassment. She grabbed his hand and let him pull her up. "It's all your fault that I'm all wet!"

Loke smirked at her slyly. "Trust me, I can m-"

"Shut it Loke! That's not what I meant!" Lucy hurriedly cut him off, knowing where that sentence was going. Her face would put Erza's hair to shame.

Loke chuckled before taking off his jacket and putting it around Lucy. "Until those dry, I think that'll do."

"I have a white skirt. This will not do." She pointed out, tying the jacket around her waist before whining, "I really liked this outfit too!"

"You'll be fine, and don't worry. If anyone tries to say anything, I'll beat 'em to a pulp." Loke put his arms out and started punching the air.

"So what were you talking about with the guild and someone confessing their love?" Lucy questioned, curious.

Loke growled at a man who was walking by that seemed to be staring at Lucy before answering. "Oh, just wait. It's a surprise."

"It wouldn't be a surprise party anymore, now would it? And who would be confessing their love, huh?" Lucy shook her head, a smile dancing along her lips. "You have made it very clear that I'm the love of your life."
