The classroom was filled with conversation as the new school year commenced. Junior girls squeezing with joy as they were reunited with their friends, guys who had spent the summer together gaming greeting each other with a familiar handshake. All of the students were gradually shifting into their friend groups. The jocks and their lackeys too the back if the classroom, while the more popular cheerleader girls grouped near the windows, checking their hair and their phones. Smaller groups of friends joined together around the desks. The book worms, the popular boys, the sluts, all making up for a summers worth of lost time.

"Morning everyone," Gray said before he was interrupted by a bucket of water landing on his head.

"AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And obnoxious laugh was heard from the back if the classroom.

"NATSU YOU STUPID HOT-HEAD LOOK WHAT YOU DID," Gray screamed in outrage.

A distinctive pink head popped up from near the back of the room.

"I got you soooo good Gray hahahaha!" Natsu chortled.

The classroom had fallen silent and was watching the familiar scene with amusement.

"Ah they're at it already," Lisanna sighed from her window seat.

"I thought they would at least wait until first period," Levy whispered to the girl sitting in the desk next to her.

"LISTEN YOU JERK," Gray began.

Natsu was still holding back barely contained laughter as Gray initiated a long winded threat.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Droy muttered to Elfman who was situated next to him at the back of the classroom.

"No! They must fight, like real men!" Elfman declared.

Jet who was on the other side of Droy rolled his eyes before returning his dreamy gaze to Levy, who had settled back into her seat with a book.

The two arguing boys were almost at blows until the door opened. In came a woman in a long white dress with red ruffles and straps carrying a stack of books. Following Mirajane, was the rather short Principal Makarov.

"Settle down class settle," Miss Mira said. "The principal has some announcements for you." She gestured to Makarov before returning to her seat.

"Thank you Miss Mira, now class, I'd like to introduce you to a new student, Lucy if you will," Makarov announced as he gestured towards the door. A girl in a blue and white striped t-shirt and jean short-shorts skipped in. Parts if her past shoulder length blonde hair was tied in a ponytail with a pink bow on her head. She carried a white purse/book bag with a. Ring of presumably her house keys attached to the strap.

"Hi everyone! My name is Lucy, and I recently moved to Magnolia. Please be nice to me!" Lucy said with a bright smile.

"Thank you Lucy, you may take the seat next to Levy," Mirajane directed.

"Over here Lucy," Levy waved from her seat. Lucy skipped over, causing her breasts to bounce and earning appreciative muttering a from the male population of the class.

"New girl is stacked," Loke muttered to Gray who had taken his wet shirt off.

"I see," Gray observed

"You want her?" Loke inquired of his dark haired friend.

Gray glanced over at Loke who sat a few feet away. The spikey orange haired boy was cleaning his glasses with his shirt while trying to keep a convincing poker face.

Gray smiled at his friend's obviousness and said, "Nah she's all yours man."

Loke glanced up looking pleased before replacing his glasses and leaning against the wall. Oblivious to all the chatter whirling around, Lucy and Levy had already hit it off and were heatedly discussing an author they enjoyed the works of. Principal Makarov cleared his throat in an attempt to get the students' attention.

"I wasn't quite finished," he stated. "Now then, it has come to my attention that our long standing rivalry with the Our Phantom Lord Prepatory School has become a slight problem."

The student of Fairy Tail High frowned slightly at the mention of the fanatically religious school for teenage delinquents. The deep rooted hatred between the two had started when Fairy Tail's football team had beat out Phantom Lord's for the statewide championship.

"Now there is nothing wrong with some friendly competition, and even the harmless prank war I can turn a blind eye to, but when someone DESTROYS THE WALLS TO THE BOYS LOCKER ROOMS, THAT IS TOO MUCH!" Makarov reprimanded the students. Many of them winced, the their loving principal rarely raises his voice to any of them.

"Now while the wrongdoer still has yet to be caught," Makarov continued while glaring at Natsu, who was in the corner whistling, "we are investigated thoroughly. We are lucky though in that Phantom Lord didn't sue." Makarov sighed, and looked at the ground. Suddenly, he startled to chuckle.

"It was a pretty great prank though," he said as his laughter continued. "The star quarterback was completely in the buff when that wall fell exposing him to the entire hallway of the gym!" The principal was now leaning on the blackboard to support himself as the entire classroom rang with the laughter of the students. Natsu grinned at Gray and Elfman, who had helped him set up the entire thing.

"So in conclusion, while the rivalry may live on, try to keep the property damage to a minimum. And always remember, bring honor to this school!" Makarov finished.

The entire class cheered as he left the classroom. As the teacher claimed them down, the first day of classes began.
