'sup, I'll do replies to reviews at end of the chapter since I don't have that many right now anyway.

"Wake up Lucy! It's your first day of pre-school!" my mother belted harmoniously from downstairs. Her wake-up call had the effect of moving me from my peaceful slumber, as the rays filtered in through my window, they also seeped though my eyes and forced them open.

"Mmmmmhhaaaaagh" I groaned as I stretched my limbs; watching cartoons late into the night had not been a smart decision on my part, I was soooooo tired. Delaying getting up for another five minutes, I eventually dragged myself out of bed and started to brush my teeth. Today was my first day of pre-school, no more day-care for me; I'm a big girl now! Mama was possibly even more excited than me, and father couldn't care less, as usual. As for myself, I was anticipating it, but then again I was a little nervous, it's not everyday that you start going to school, no matter the level.

I tied a pink ribbon in my hair after changing into a skirt and pink shirt to finish off my morning ritual (over the years it would get longer and longer) and proceeded to hop down the stairs. I was met by mama at the bottom, "Oh, there's my beautiful girl! Here let me fix your hair." and she immediately started to work her own magic on it. I always got embarrassed and flustered when she showed me affection and this time was no different.

"Ma-mama," I stuttered, "My hair's fine, there's no need to fix it." I said shyly, twirling my hair in my fingers.

"Oooh, you're just too cute when you're flustered." mama gushed. She moved in front of the mirror downstairs and began to stroke my hair with the skill of a veteran hairdresser. She really was a jack-of-all-trades, and I hoped to be like her one day. I definitely did not want to be like my boring dad, I don't know why mama ever fell in love with him. My father owned a huge conglomerate specializing in the fashion industry and it took a lot out of him. I once made him a nice snack and threw it away right in front of me! Mama said he was just stressed, but I still didn't understand why he had to be so mean all the time. Speaking of the big meanie, there he was right now, typing away at the computer doing who knows what.

I ventured a casual 'good morning' towards him, but he didn't even reply, typical. Mama gave me a knowing look that said don't bother him right now; it sometimes felt like that look was permanently etched onto her face. One of these days I was gonna beat my father up for being such a bully, but first I needed to actually gain some strength instead of looking like a stick.

With an expert flourish of of her hands, mama finished up with my hair and tugged my giggling self along with her to the kitchen; it was time for breakfast.

I usually liked to load up on pop-tarts and cinnamon rolls, but today mama said that I had to have a good breakfast. I grudgingly complied, but only because it was her and not someone else. She poured me a bowl of cheerios, which were surprisingly good, and I started to shove it into my mouth rather quickly; mama chuckled, "Slow down there sweetie, we still have plenty of time until we have to leave."

"I know, but I just want to finish this up fast." I replied.

In all it took me a good ten minutes to fit all that cereal into my small stomach, but I managed it. Mama, still chuckling, pulled me to the sink to wash up and then pulled me out the door with her. "Aren't we going in the car?" I asked, perplexed.

"Well, since today is your first day, I thought that walking you to school would have given a nice twist to things." mama said. I nodded my acknowledgment to her statement; it would be special if she dropped me off herself, instead of sending me off with one of the servants. Usually whenever I wanted to go somewhere, father just boarded me up in the car with the chauffeur and it was boring. I didn't usually get to spend much time with mama outside the house.

The school I would be attending was called Sweet Apple Elementary, the closest primary school to me in the town of Magnolia. Normally it was only a good two minute drive by car, but the walk there took longer. I didn't mind, I used the time to chat with mama.

"Lucy dear, are you excited about making new friends?"

"I don't know, what if I don't make any?" I asked nervously. I had never had many friends before, actually scratch that, I had never had any friends before. Most kids went to day-care before starting pre-school, but father insisted I did not and often hired help if mama couldn't take care of me herself. Therefore, I had no idea on how to make a friend, much less friends.

"Nonsense, you're such a sweet girl, of course you will." mama assured me with a wave of her hand. She always made me feel better.

I was about to reply when I saw the familiar sign around the corner. "Hey mama, I think we've arrived."

"Hmm, yes we have. I'll walk you to the front and then you will be only your own; oh isn't this exciting!" mama exclaimed. More like nerve-wracking, I could barely stand on my own two feet. Mama coaxed me to the front of the school, where many others my age seemed to be. She shuffled me towards the entrance before swooping down to give me a quick hug and a kiss on the forehead. "Have a nice day at school Lucy honey." she uttered, before slowly turning and starting the trek back.

I waved until she was out of my sight. While starting to head towards the door, I heard a shout of, "NATSU, NO!" and before I knew it, I was splattered with a rather warm liquid. It was sticky and smelled rotten, and, was that a banana peel?! Oh dear god, I hadn't even taken a few steps and some idiot had sprayed me with vomit on the first day of school!

there you go, and next chapter natsu, or should i say fatsu, will be introduced

FT 451 chapter review:

Finally we will see the dreaded right arm, and it looks like FT is ending soon, unless the actual main villain is anksheram and not zeref.

Serpent Tailed Angel - yeah, in this story the name is given by small kids, so it will be more of a silly nickname/name-calling thing.

Chocolatemmmmm- I updated
