Hi, my name is Levy McGarden. I'm a model and magazine writer at Sorcerer Weekly. I work alongside head designer, Freed Justine. I was at work in my office. I was working on a big issue. 'The Beauty, That is Mavis Vermillion' Mavis Vermillion is one of the most famous petite models ever. We were just so lucky enough to have a contract with her.

As I'm working, I hear a knock on my glass door, I turn around only to see Lucy smiling with a platter of chocolate chip cookies. I gesture my hands, telling her to come in. "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Levy! Happy birthday to you!" She sings while prancing around. My face immediately lights up. I didn't think anyone remembered. "Thanks LuLu!" I say while helping her sit the cookies down on my desk. "They smell delicious" I say while sniffing them. "Happy birthday Levy!" She says while sitting down on a miniature couch. "So, ya doing anything for your birthday?" Lucy asks. "Why?" I don't plan on doing anything for my birthday, I don't like to celebrate. I only celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving. "C'mon, you never celebrate your birthday! And it's a Friday!" She says persuasively. "LuLu you know I don't celebrate! Plus, I have tons of work to do.." I reply while pushing my glasses up with my index finger and typing on my computer.

"It's your 18th birthday! Live it up!" She says. All of my friends are older than me. They're all 20 and Lucy's turning 21 next month. "You're an adult now! There are things you're now allowed to do!" "I'm an adult now, which means my responsibilities have increased." I say while glancing over at her. "But you remember my 18th birthday? Don't you?" She says, "Oh, I remember it all to well." We both start to have flashbacks.

~Flashback~
We are at the club. I wasn't allowed to be there legally, but Lucy made me a fake ID . I don't wanna be here. "C-Come oooon L-Levyyyy!" She says. I know she's drunk. Lucy has a boyfriend, his name is Natsu Dragneel. He wasn't there. He's a cologne advertiser. I look over at Lucy and see that she's drinking wine and booze. I face palm myself. We're at the club with one of  our other friends, Gray Fullbuster another writer at Sorcerer Weekly. "Have a driiiiiiinkkkkkk" Lucy says while playing with a loose string on her tight cocktail dress. As quick as I rolled my eyes I see her kissing Gray. "Lucy!" I say while tugging her arm. "Whaaaaaaat?" She asks. "You have a damn boyfriend!" I pull her closer. "He's noooooot gooooooiiiiiingggggg to find outtttt" she says leaning to Gray for another kiss. "Damnit Lu!" I say while getting up.

~Present Day~
"You promised not to tell Natsu." We somehow know what we're thinking. And I did promise I wouldn't tell Natsu and I didn't tell him. "I promised" I say while turning around to my desk. "Plus.." She says not being able to finish her sentence. Someone enters. It was my other friend, Gajeel, who was also a writer and male model at Sorcerer Weekly. "Happy Birthday, Shrimp!" He says while rubbing my head. "I would've accepted it if you didn't call me a shrimp" I say teasingly. He chuckles in reply.

"Are you doing anything for your birthday?" He asks, and before I can answer Lucy does. "Nope. She's acting lame again" I roll my eyes at Lucy. "Really? You're turning 18, an adult! Live some shrimp!" He says while taking a seat. "Well, I've got work to do!" I say while smashing against the keys at this point. "Your life is work. You're living work!" "No! Work is living me!" I yell while slamming my laptop shut and tearing up. "Woah, Levy. If you want us to leave we can" Gajeel says to me. He never calls me by my name, so I knew he was being sympathetic. "No, Gajeel, LuLu, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Don't leave.." I say while turning around facing them. "You wanna talk about it Levy?" Lucy asks while scooting closer.

"It's just.. I never get to see my mom. I never get to do any normal, teenager things."

"What do ya mean?" Gajeel asks.

"All my friends back in Magnolia. Juvia,Yukino. They're not up at 5:00 a.m til 5 p.m everyday"

"But they are at school. Levy, you graduated early. You work those hours, cause your good at it. You work those hours, cause you're making a living out of it." Lucy says.
