It was a rather beautiful morning for the city of Magnolia, as there wasn't a cloud in the sky, a sense of peace and happiness was in the air. There were hardly any cars driving on the streets, as if it was a ghost town in the middle of nowhere. People strolling through the streets, contempt and happy that the morning was so beautiful today. The sun basking the city with a warming glow as it continues its ascent into the sky, warming up the civilians as they walk to their destination.

Lucy had woken up from a very long and satisfying sleep that had rejuvenated her mind and body. With a rather drawn out yawn, she had remembered how fun the recently ended summer vacation was, spending time with her goofy friends, smiling with them and having the time of her life. Although the summer had been fun, it was also quite emotional for the young blonde, as a certain pink-haired friend of hers had confessed his feelings to someone else. Sure she was happy he had finally confessed his feelings, but she couldn't help but feel slightly sad and disappointed it wasn't her. However, in the end she decided that she would support him in any way she could, despite having had a huge crush on him, as she wouldn't let it bring her down.

With a determination to start the day she grabbed her soft towel and head towards the bathroom so she could get herself ready for the day. As she entered she couldn't help but let out a small giggle when she looked at her hair in the mirror. Her hair looked like she had been tumbling in a dryer as it was extremely messy. She carefully removed whatever clothing she had, and turned on the shower, testing the waters to make sure it was at a comfortable temperature and not scalding. Deciding that the shower was at a comfortable heat, she got in and allowed the water to slide across her smooth, creamy skin.

She stood there, under the spray of the water, thinking about the events of the past couple of months. 'Well…if Natsu has decided to be with Lisanna… I can't do anything to change his mind as that is how I was raised' she thought. A few minutes passed and she began washing herself, starting with Peach blossom-scented shampoo and conditioner. She grabbed her loofah, squeezed out the Lavender body wash onto it, and began scrubbing her body up and down, not missing an inch of skin. When she finished, she went back under the cascading water and rinsed off the body wash, making sure that no suds were left on her body. She went back to standing in the shower for a few minutes, before deciding to end her relaxing shower.

She got her soft towel and began drying her hair, after which she began rubbing it across her skin, absorbing any water that was left on her body. Once she deemed dry enough, she exited the bathroom and headed straight for her closet. She opened her closet door and carefully examined its contents, searching for the usual school uniform that was mandatory. She pulled out the set that consisted of, a white button-up shirt, a yellow vest, a striped tie, gray skirt, blue socks that were a couple of inches from her knees, and brown shoes. First she put on her black lace panties and matching bra, followed by her school attire.

"Well….time to start heading to school" she said, staring at herself to see if she looked good enough without her makeup. When she deemed herself ready, she grabbed her star-themed messenger bag, placing the strap across her chest, and started heading down stairs.

"My, you look stunning Princess" a voice said. coming from the kitchen.

"Loke….it's the same uniform I've used for years and when are you going to stop calling me Princess?" Lucy replied. Loke was one of the few people taking care of her ever since her parents had died. Her mother, Layla Heartfilia, who others have said she looked like a spitting image of, had passed away after protecting her from a car headed straight for her. She was alive after the accident, but succumbed to her injuries a couple of weeks later. A few years later her father, Jude Heartfilia, had fallen ill and later passed away as well. Despite trying to force her into a marriage under the guise that it would help further the family wealth-wise, she eventually forgave him on his death bed. She was utterly devastated that her parents had left her to the cruelness of the outside world. Loke and many other servants looking after her well-being, trying to assure her that they don't mind being called so, but she refused to call them that and instead called them family.

"As soon as you start calling me honey." he joked, winking at me in the process. He was a tall person, who had orange hair that, for some odd reason, looked like the mane of a lion. He wore a business suit and tie as a casual outfit, which I don't mind as it suits his personality just fine.

"Haha…very funny Loke" she replied sarcastically, "well I'm off to start my third year of high school." waving at him as she said that. "I'll see you later" she added.

"Good bye my Princess! Have fun at school!" he replied, waving back. 'Don't let the past get to you….Lucy…' he thought.

After that she closed the door, and started walking in the direction of her school, Magnolia High. 'I can't wait to see everyone even though it's only been a week since I've seen them all' she thought to herself, smiling as she remembered the events. Her mind seemed to wander off to a certain memory and frowned, but then shook her head 'I promised myself I wouldn't let it get to me anymore'. She only lived a couple of miles from her school, so walking there wasn't much of a hassle and she usually meets up with a certain friend along the way.

"Good morning Lucy!" I looked up to see one of my best friends, Erza Scarlet. She was wearing the school uniform, and she had to admit that Erza looked better in it than she did herself. Her hair is red, but she says it's scarlet which I don't complain about, and reached down below her waist. Her friend had a rather happy aura about her, although if you crossed her or ruined her strawberry cake, it quickly changed to that of murderous intent. Lucy shivered at the sight of her other personality, never wanting to cross paths with her like that.

"Good morning Erza!" Lucy replied, waving to her scarlet-haired friend. "Can't believe summer vacation ended so soon" she frowned, wanting school to be over with already so she can have fun.

"I agree, it seemed to have ended rather shortly, but at least we get to see everyone again." she replied, somewhat happy and somewhat sad at what she said.

"Yeah….I can't wait." Lucy replied with a small, sad smile, accompanied by a somewhat small aura of gloom around her, which didn't go unnoticed by Erza.

They started walking to school, at a rather slow pace. There was a silence between the two that seemed to have last for an eternity, until it was broken by Erza.

"Is something the matter Lucy?" she asked, rather concerned for her friend's sad mood, which was very uncommon for her.

"N-No of course not…I-I'm fine Erza….really." Lucy said, waving her hand, trying to sound convincingly, although Lucy herself wasn't convinced about it. She sighed 'Well…Erza is one of my best friends so it wouldn't be right to keep it from her'. Erza was about to speak but Lucy cut her off "Well there is one thing that is bothering me which happened during summer vacation."

"And that is…?" Erza questioned with a raised eyebrow, concern evidently laced in it for her worry for Lucy.

"Uh….well...you see it's like this." She began telling Erza about how she had liked Natsu and was going to confess her feelings to him. She had pulled him away to talk to him about her feelings, but he had rejected her confession to him. He told her that he only thought of her as a best friend saying he liked Lisanna, who had also confessed to liking him as well, saying she had the same feelings. Lucy was rather shocked by this discovery, but had to force herself to understand the situation and had told him that she was happy that he found someone.

However, she was still struggling with her feelings, and tried many times to forget about it, but failed in her attempts. It still hurts her seeing Natsu with Lisanna together, but she had steeled herself and supported their relationship despite the hardships of it. So instead of pursuing a relationship with anyone else, she had decided to focus on her studies and aim to get higher grades, if that was possible, so she could get into a great college.

"I'm rather surprised you had feelings for him, but it is sad that he chose Lisanna in the end." Erza replied, "But I think it was a rather mature way of handling the situation, instead of acting like a spoiled brat." she added, trying to cheer her friend up.

"It was hard to move on, but I've decided that it would be best to work on school for now." She nodded, although more to herself than her scarlet-haired friend. "Thanks Erza I'm glad to have such a great friend as you." She smiled warmly at her friend, sincerely satisfied that she had told at least someone about her predicament and releasing some of the anxiety of seeing the pink-haired teen.

The next few minutes had been discussing about seeing everyone, wondering what classes they were getting, and, much to Erza's chagrin, their love lives. Lucy would tease and giggle about Erza's secret crush, Jellal Fernandes. Erza decided to try to put pressure on Lucy and see if she had any crushes, but unfortunately she didn't have any luck at teasing her. They had finally reached the gates of their wonderful and fun-filled high school, Magnolia High. Walking onto campus they were searching for their group consisting of quite a few people, most whom were strange in their own way.

They found them a few minutes later at a table in the cafeteria, chatting away about what happened during the summer, and if so, discussing about their exotic trips. No matter how strange the group was and looks they received, they had time of their lives, sometimes brawling and throwing fists, and sometimes shockingly…tables. Most people would say that those people were a bunch of nut jobs and crazy people, but to Lucy they were her friends, and most of all family. Due to the amount of trouble they usually got into due to their crazy and childish antics, she sometimes felt as if she was the only sane and sensible one in this group. She usually just laughed and brushed their antics to the side, although somehow she was a magnet to it as chairs and tables usually found their way to her. She smiled and shook her head, deciding that it was no use in getting mad at them, as this is who they were and she would not change one thing about it at all.

"Hey everyone!" she yelled, smiling at them, happy to see everyone again despite it only being a week. Everyone replied with a wave or a short "Yo!" or "Hey!" which she didn't really mind as those were the usual responses she received. She sat next to Natsu and her other childhood friend, Gray Fullbuster. Gray was great friends with her, so great that they had dubbed themselves brother and sister. He was a great friend, but had quite a weird hobby of stripping his clothes off down to his boxers at the most random of times. Despite that, she had placed a lot of trust into him, never doubting him if he said something.

Sitting next to Gray though usually got herself a death glare from his number one stalker, Juvia Lockser, a blue-haired girl who proclaimed to be madly in love with him. Despite his many attempts to shake her off, she would always manage to latch herself to him, and managed to scare any girls that would come in between her and her precious 'Gray-sama'. She even dubbed Lucy 'Love Rival' despite the latter's refusal to be attracted in any way towards Gray. Lucy sometimes has a nightmare every now and then about Juvia drowning her in water, for some odd reason.

Next to Natsu is Lisanna Strauss and next to her are her older siblings, Mirajane Strauss and Elfman Strauss, whom together form the Strauss siblings. Mirajane is the oldest and is the mother-figure of the group, and much to everyone's chagrin have dubbed her as, "Matchmaker Mira" due to her tendencies to put people together romantically. Elfman is a muscular, and very tall man who usually goes on and on about how things are "manly" this and "manly" that. Lisanna is, as mentioned before, together with Natsu. She is very nice and caring to others, and sometimes has a role in cooling down the hothead antics of her boyfriend.

Erza and Jellal are next in the table order, both sitting next to each other, which only adds to the notion that they both are both romantically involved, although they both deny it profusely. Jellal is a blue-haired man who has a red-tattoo over his right eye, and like Erza, although to a less extreme, a somewhat serious person. To say the two of them make a perfect couple would be a vast understatement, as they both complement each other quite well.

Next is Levy McGarden, her best girlfriend and the first to know about her crush on Natsu. They both shared the interest in reading books, and more specifically the novels of the romance genre. She has brown eyes, as well as blue hair, which is kept back by a yellow headband with a diamond pattern on it. A long time ago when she had told her about her crush on Natsu, she surprisingly told Lucy that she liked a certain red-eyed, black haired man named Gajeel Redfox. Luc was quite surprised to say the least, as she didn't expect innocent Levy to be interested in the bad boy Gajeel.

Next to her was said bad boy, Gajeel. As mentioned he has crimson eyes, along with a mane of black, spiky hair that went down to his mid-back. He has quite a muscular build, with a number of piercings on his body. To be exact he has three above each eye, three on each side of his nose, two on his chin, four on each forearm, and five piercings on each ear. He has a rather serious personality, although sometimes he acts like a child and teases the hell out of other people. Much to her disapproval, he even has a nickname for Lucy called "Bunny Girl", which stemmed from the fact that she wore a bunny outfit to a party ONE time... just one, yet Lucy gets teased about it a lot.

Next to them was the group drunk, Cana Alberona, daughter to one of the teachers, Gildarts Clive. The group calls her "Drunkie" most of the time, mostly because she somehow has the ability to drink dozens of beer bottles, and yet does not display any difficulty with holding it down. She has brown hair that reaches to her mid-back, along with brown eyes. She sometimes challenged the men to a drinking contest whenever the opportunity presents itself, but usually ends up as the victor during it. Cana and Lucy became best friends once she told her to never forget that Gildarts is her one and only father, which Lucy said last year during exams. Cana and Gildarts both eventually made up and have been a happy family ever since then, which makes Lucy happy as well, despite the loss of her precious family.

Next to her are Laxus and his group called the "Raijinshu" which no one really knows why they refer to themselves as that. Laxus is a tall and very muscular man, with blonde hair and gray-blue eyes, which in Lucy's opinion is a pretty color. He's Makarov Dreyar's, also known as the Headmaster of Magnolia High, grandson. Although she would never admit it, Laxus is rather hot, but she doesn't have any romantic feelings towards him, even if she did she doubts he would feel the same way. So in order to free herself from those feelings, she reminded herself of what happened during the summer and to focus on her school work. They both share the same past in a way as they had both lost their mothers in their lives, albeit during different parts of it, and, in a way, their fathers as well.

The Raijinshu consists of Freed Justine, Evergreen, and Bickslow. Freed is a green-haired man who has waist-length light-green hair, that oddly enough looks like it has two lightning bolts sticking out on each side on top of his head, that covers his right eye. Even though Mira says it isn't true, Lucy has a giant suspicion that they're both romantically involved with each other, but they both deny it. Evergreen is a woman with light-brown hair and dark brown eyes. She usually has a haughty demeanor to her, but deep down she has a soft side to her, especially her boyfriend, Elfman. Bickslow is a blue-haired man, although his hair has shaven parts that are black, which is odd. He has green eyes, and has a weird tendency to stick his long tongue out when he talks to others, which is rather creepy.

Lucy and her friends all decided to chat during the remaining free time they had left before classes start for the day. They talked about the trip to the beach and how much they had a blast going there, partying and playing in the ocean. The group all agreed to do it again next summer, planning on having another fun-filled summer vacation. They would work out room arrangements and other stuff a couple of weeks before getting out of school.

Finally, the bell rang, notifying everyone that it was time to start the new school year along with new classes. But the headmaster announced that since it was the first day of the school year, they had to go to their homerooms, which no one really minded as they all shared the same homeroom. 'What a great school year this might be' Lucy told herself, giggling in the process. Lucy did not know how right she was, as the future had quite a bit in store for her this year and the following school year. As she walked in, she didn't realize a pair of eyes watching her from behind as she entered the homeroom, with his piercing gaze.
