This WAS my first fanfic. I am working on about four/five stories at once, so please excuse my tardiness for updating!
This is the revised and edited version of Ch. 1. Hope you enjoy, can you find all the differences? Sorry for errors… I only revised for plot changes and etc.
Summary (Long Version):
Lucy was in a major accident, and now looks like a boy. She searches for something that might help her in her apartment, even finding some ugly sweatshirt with a hoodie would have been a relief to cover up her boyish haircut. Instead, she finds a letter sent to her from a cousin long ago. The letter seems like it hasn't been opened for years, until Lucy sees its date: more than seven years ago! A cousin from a high school meant for the rich and snobby, sent her a letter for her to come and visit? Lucy can only hope for the best.
Chapter 1: The Accident -REVISED-
Team Natsu along with Wendy and Carla were hiking up a snowy mountain, hoping to find the "pervert" monster described in the quest.
Their client was a woman, probably in her thirties. She was a pretty young woman with golden hair. She lived and worked at a lodge, not far from where Team Natsu, Wendy, and Carla were hiking at. She kept on whining about how this monster was causing all the women in the lodge to run away, leaving the lodge deserted with no customers.
"'Please tell me why we have to take this job again?' Miss Lucy asks," said Horologium.
Lucy was too cold and scrunched up in Horologium with Wendy and Carla, all of them shivering from the cold environment.
"Lucy, I have already said this about two times already, we took this job because of the good pay. Anyways don't you need money for your rent in a week?" asked Erza in a stern voice.
Lucy just pouted.
"'I admire Erza, she doesn't get cold in a place like this' says Miss Wendy," Horologium repeated the girl.
"'I don't think that is something to be amazed by Wendy' says Miss Carla," Horologium replied. Carla had a look on her face that read "I-don't-get-what-impresses-people-these-days" as she pouted and sat on Wendy's lap.
The sound of punching and kicks could have been heard up ahead.
"Time is up Miss Lucy," Horologium stated as he disappeared in a flash.
"Eh?!" Lucy shouted.
She and Wendy landed butt first on the snow with Charla flying in the air with her wings.
"Ehh, so cold!" Wendy whispered loudly.
"I can hear Natsu and Gray up ahead, let's go, Lucy, Wendy!" Erza exclaimed as she picked up her pace and ran to where the boys were.
Erza was right, when Lucy and Wendy finally got up and picked up their pace, they saw the two certain mages fighting the monster described in the quest. Erza was fighting too, but you could've seen she just entered the battle field as she was just starting to change armor.
Lucy looked towards what they were fighting, it was purple. And green. It was some sort of big gorilla monkey-like thing. She recognized it immediately, it was-
"Ehh?" Lucy shouted.
Wendy and Carla looked up at her, confused at why she was screaming. "What's wrong Lucy-san?" Wendy asked.
"The monkey thing, it was that pervert animal Natsu fought in the mountain while we were saving Maccao!" Lucy shouted. She quickly looked around, trying to find a place to hide.
"Ooh! There are now two pretty women! Ooh, hello blonde~!" the pervert monkey cooed.
Lucy felt shivers come down her spine.
"Wait, two women? Aren't there three?" Carla asked as she looked the monkey directly in the eyes and back to Wendy.
The pervert monkey looked at Wendy, then at her chest.
Wendy seemed to know where the pervert monkey was looking at because she started sulking in a corner holding her chest, she looked almost paralyzed.
Carla just stared at her with a confused expression.
"Hey! How come she can find a corner to sulk in, and I can't!" Lucy whined.
"Lucy!" Gray shouted.
Lucy turned around and saw the pervert monkey running towards her. "Ehh?" Lucy yelled as she tried to duck, but before the monkey could touch her, Taurus came out of his gate by his own will. He blocked the large monkey with his axe.
"Moo! Hello Miss Lucy, doesn't your body look just fine today~!" Taurus sang with heart-shaped eyes.
Lucy sweat dropped, "Taurus, just go get the pervert monkey!"
"Moo!" was heard as Taurus aimed for the monkey with his axe.
The monkey froze, then grabbed the nearest thing to use for a shield, and that was… "EHH?! Wait, wait!"
"Miss Lucy?"
"Taurus! Force gate closure, force gate closure!" Lucy screamed.
But it was too late, the only thing Taurus was able to do was move the aim of the axe so it would only hit the side, missing the monkey by a foot.
But, the side was a little too close to Lucy's head.
Lucy closed her eyes, then slowly opened them.
Everything was in slow motion, the first thing Lucy saw were yellow strips of something soft fly past her face.
She blinked. "What was that?" she thought.
She blinked some more as she was then able to get a good look at what was flying right in front of her face.
"Hair? Wait… What?" Lucy looked to the side and saw Taurus frozen, staring at her with wide eyes.
The pervert monkey already ran away, leaving everybody now wondering where the monkey was.
Lucy's head was aching. She put a hand up on her forehead to see if she had a fever from staying in the cold for too long, she didn't.
But something felt different.
Lucy looked across the ground, back and forth her eyes went, trying to find the blonde hair that was flying across her face.
She found it: it was on the ground, surrounded by 2 hair ties.
"Are those my hair ties?" Lucy thought out loud as she realized what just happened. She frantically touched the back of her head, hoping to find 2 piggy tails, but instead, all she felt was short, thin hair.
Her eyes widened. She looked at Taurus just standing there. "Taurus, what happened?!" Lucy asked as she started unconsciously trembling.
"Moo… Uh… I'm gonna go back to the Celestial World now, bye Miss Lucy!" the bull hastily said as he then quickly disappeared into thin air.
Lucy looked at Wendy as she caught the blue haired girl's wide gaze.
"Lucy-san, your hair… You… You look like a-" Wendy put a hand around her mouth as Erza came running over, hoping everybody was okay, and that the monkey would have been near.
The scarlet maiden took a glance at Lucy. "Who is this?" she asked.
Natsu was right behind her, "Hey Luce!" Natsu greeted as he came to a halt, Gray right behind him.
Erza's eyes widened, "Lucy?"
"Oi, Lucy. You look different then usual… Ah! You gained some more weight!" Natsu exclaimed.
He earned one of the infamous "Lucy" kicks from the blonde and fell off the mountain.
"Hey… Wait happened to your hair?" Gray asked after he smirked at Natsu's fall.
"At least some people still recognize me," Lucy muttered, utterly heartbroken.
"Lucy! You look like a boy!" Happy chimed from behind the blonde.
He joined Natsu in hell.
