Fairy Tail High

The Words

"If they don't catch him by Thursday then I can't write about it then I won't get the job and I won't ever move out an-" Lucy sighed, plopping down on the couch.
         "Can't you just write about the experiment and what he's doing to girls."
          "No. He needs to go to jail before I can write about him. Some stupid journalist law. You can't write about something before having it confirmed by authorities."
       
"Well Is living with us that bad?" Natsu sat next to Lucy and she glanced over at him, realizing what she said. Happy was already asleep.
Lucy looked down at her hands that folded onto her lap. "No but I've been here 3 months and I don't want to be much of a bother. That's why I have to get a job." She started twiddling with her thumbs. Natsu just watched her as her fingers maneuver with one another.
"Lucy..." Happy sat up. "You're not a bother! We like having you here. Everything has become more fun with you around." Lucy looked up at him and smiled.
"Thank you Happy." Happy immediately went back to sleep. "It's been a long day. I should be heading to bed. Goodnight you guys." Lucy got up and walked into the bedroom.
"Goodnight Lucy..." Natsu's voice softened.

"Hey Le-" Lucy stopped walking as her eyes widened. "What is going on." Levy's hand was latched onto Gajeel's and she couldn't help but smile look a goof.
"Gajeel and I are dating"
Gajeel looked away, pretending not to notice Lucy's existence.
     "Hey, Shrimp. I'm gonna head to class."
      Levy looked up at him with a smile, "okay! I'll see you there. Imma stay and talk to LuLu for a bit." She gave him a peck on the cheek, but had to stand on her tippy toes to do so. He walked away and Levy turned to face her friend once more. "Where's Natsu and Happy?" She questioned their absence.
      "Natsu is home sick and Happy is taking care of him."
     "Oh no! Is he okay?"
      "Yeah it's just the common cold. I offered to stay home but he insisted I went to school."
     "You wanna know what you should've said." Levy smirked as she leaned in to whisper in her ear, "you should've said, 'I'd rather stay here with you, I can't think of anything that would make me happier.'"
   Levy leaned back and smiled innocently. Lucy's face becomes red as she yells, "LEVY!!!"
    Levy just giggled. "Oh my god, your reaction is priceless!" Lucy thought for a moment.
    "Hey uh Levy. Can I ask favor of you?"
    "Levy laughed, "another one?"
    "Sorry! It'll be the last one!"
    "Don't worry! I don't mind. What is it?"
    "I wanna go directly home after school to tend to Natsu, but I need this to be sent to the Police station. Do you think you can bring it there?" Lucy pulled out a small flash drive out of her bag, which had the recording from 'operation Boron' on it.
    "Is that-"
    Lucy nodded, "yep."
    "Okay I'll bring it to the station later."
    Lucy's eyes lit up. "Thank you so much Levy!" She handed the drive to her and she took it, putting it in her bag.
    "Listen Lu, I gotta head to class. I'll see you later!" She waved goodbye and walked away.
"I'm in the same class as you!" Lucy yelled but it was too late. She sighed. Those words.

Suddenly an image popped in Lucy's mind. It was image of a big white hand squeezing her head. The words played back in her mind.

      I'd rather stay here with you.

What is this?? That was me... but what's happening?

Lucy shook the ridiculous thought out of her head. It's probably my mind just giving me an idea for a story. Wait that's it!!! I gotta write this down as soon as I can!

Lucy ran out the school doors and hurried home. I gotta hurry before I forget! She kept pacing her breath as her body quickly moved on the sidewalk.

She quickly opened the door, having it open all the way. "Lucy? What are you doing home?" Happy questioned but Lucy was too focused on what was on her mind to notice. She immediately went into the bedroom and grabbed an empty notebook that Natsu got her. She sat down on the wooden chair by the desk that also had Natsu's locker. Her hand swayed as the pencil touched the paper.

In a land, far far away, lies the Kingdom of...

Lucy brought the pencil up to her chin, tapping it. Her eyes lit up as the perfect name for a country came to mind.
Fiore; a small peaceful nation of seventeen million. And a place filled with magic. Found in every home; bought and sold in every marketplace, for most, magic is merely a tool; a mundane part of every day life. For some however, magic is an art and they devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards; banded together into magical guilds they apply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest. One from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends, well into the future. It's name is....

Lucy stopped writing. Maybe I should name it Koris. No that doesn't sound right. Um Sabertooth? No I'll make that into another guild! What about! Oh I should use our school name!! She brought her pencil back down onto the paper.

Fairy Tail

Suddenly, the door bursted open to reveal Happy. Lucy turned around. "Hey Happy!"
     "What are you doing home?"
     "Oh I had this great idea for a story and I didn't wanna forget it! Come check it out."
      Happy made his way over to the desk. After reading what was written, his eyes widened. "Lucy....h-how did you come up with this idea?"
      "Uh well Levy said something to me then those words made an image pop it in my head. That image gave me an idea to write a story on a girl who joins a wizard guild. And they go on all sorts of adventures."
    "What did Levy say?"
    Lucy's face became red. "Uh, well- she started to tease me and uh she said...." Lucy whispered into Happy's ear. His eyes widened even more, as he stayed motionless.

     Those words were from Tenrou Island...
