Ever since she was a little girl Lucy believed that her guardian angle had big white fluffy wings you could lose yourself in. She imagined a handsome face framed with blonde hair would come and save her from this boring life she was stuck in with a father who didn't care for her.

She soon figured out she would have to save herself.

Lucy had enough of being alone, remembering the magic her mother taught her, she opened the first spirit gate since she left home.

Her spirits understood her. They were her friends, and she wanted as many friends as she could get.

Lucy discovered guilds. Her favourite was Fairy Tail, they seemed like one big family, and she would often gaze at a group shot she had of the whole guild.

One person always caught her eye. He always smiled the biggest...

Lucy visited Hargeon, and met someone who matched the picture, smiling with pink hair...

He always smiled. Even when he couldn't move, or he was hurting, or mad, or sad, he always had a smile left.

Lucy never imagined someone could be this caring. He always accepted her totally, and no matter how out of hand things got he always seemed to know what to do in any situation... And Lucy had a feeling he acted like a total moron to keep spirits in the guild high. His mind was like a steel trap.

He seemed unbeatable... Nobody who fought him with the intent to kill his Nakama won. Nobody.

Lucy finally understood. Her Guardian angel had the wings of a dragon.

I was so tempted to put 'her guardian angel had the wings of a MAN!' And then have it be about Elfman. ~ShadeShadow
