Wandering Fairies

Oh No. No No No!

A/N: So here it is, the introduction of Lucy into Wandering Fairies! Really should be writing chapter 16 of Girl's Mind, but my brain doesn't want to plot right now. It might be delayed, unless I really pull out a miracle. Especially since my brain still wants to write Erza and Happy's intros to this 'verse too. Hopefully Lucy isn't OOC here, Wandering Fairies isn't beta'd so any issues here are all on me.

Anyway, please make sure to feel sorry for our favorite Celestial mage, because she really doesn't deserve this.

Warning for one f-bomb dropped near the very end, for anyone who actually cares about that sort of thing.

Thanks for reading!

Lucy groans, a headache throbbing between her temples in time with the loud pounding that echoes through the room.

"Whuaaaaa?"

She pushes herself off the floor, and blearily stumbles her way down the hall.

Something seems fishy, she muses, confused, as she pulls open the door.

It opens to a dirt road, lined with houses, and a man in a strange outfit whose fist is raised for another knock.

"Ah, Haruno-san. I'm here to inform you and your husband that your daughter was admitted to the hospital just a bit ago after passing out during team exercises. Please head over at your earliest convenience."

The man disappears in a flurry of leaves, and Lucy finds herself staring out at the road, mouth gaped open.

"Wh-wait come back here!" She stumbles down the steps of the porch, but the strange man doesn't reappear and no matter where she looks, she can't find where he disappeared to.

"S-since when... did I get married?!"

Lucy glares, hands on hips, and tries to remember what happened.

...There was... the S-Class exam? I was helping Cana, and then we were attacked. A-and... that huge dragon? We cast Fairy Sphere to protect ourselves but I don't remember anything after that.

So when did I get married?! I don't even know any guys named Haruno! Is this some sort of stupid dream?!

Lucy pinches herself, feels her nails dig into the flesh of her arm even through the sweater that she really doesn't remember wearing.

"Pretty sure... I'm not dreaming." she mutters at the flare of pain that lances up her arm from the harsh pinch. She turns and walks back into the house, eyes narrowed at the unfamiliar layout that she really should have noticed before.

I did wake up on the ground... maybe I hit my head? And now I've forgotten everything? I should probably go to the hospital to get myself checked out if that's the case. Shoes, shoes, where're- Ah!

Lucy brushes the dirt off her feet as best she can, then slips quickly into the brown sandals set in the entranceway. It takes a moment to find the keys to the house, further up the hallway and set on a small table, and once she has them Lucy quickly leaves, locking the door behind her.

By the time she makes it to the end of the street, though, Lucy realizes she has no idea where the hospital is.

Why would I move away from Magnolia? All my friends are there... but there's no way this is the same city!

Eyes narrowed, Lucy tries to ignore the pounding in her skull as she looks around. "Hospitals are normally located near the center of the city, right? So maybe towards that large tower..."
