“Ugh…What the hell happened?” you asked yourself as you massaged your aching forehead. You glanced around wearily: ground, check. trees, check. Floating islands, check….wait. What? Okay, THAT was NOT normal, and you knew normal; you’d lived in Magnolia your whole life and nothing abnormal ever happened there…well, that’s a bit of a stretch, but still there was obviously something wrong here.

You tried to think back to how you got here. You had been running your usual route around Magnolia, picking up requests from the people around town to be delivered to Fairy Tail. It wasn’t the best paying job around, but, as you couldn’t use magic, you’d take what you could get. You’d finally made it to Fairy Tail and then….and then what? You couldn’t remember.

“Well, might as well look around,” you thought to yourself as you stood up and brushed the dust off your jeans. With that, you set off into the woods, noting the huge crystal on the adjacent island. Within minutes, you were lost and frustrated. To make things even better, it started to rain.

“Of course,” you muttered,” The second I get stuck in the middle of nowhere, it would rain. Geez.” Before you could continue your griping, you heard faint voices; you stopped dead in your tracks.

“Whoa! So you’re saying this thing will give us magic power…FOREVER!?” one over-excited voice exclaimed.

“Mmmhmm, it’s the key to Edolas’ bright future,” another, calmer, voice replied.

You followed the sounds of their conversation, heading back in the direction of where you’d woken up. As the trees cleared you could make out two people; one had odd blonde hair, pink armor and…was he even wearing pants? The other, presumably the loud one based on the way he was eccentrically flailing his arms as he spoke, had purple hair and a long white jacket.

Your brisk walk escalated into a run. Thank God, you were finally going to find out where the hell you were!

“So I guess we’ll just-…” The purple-haired man stopped mid-sentence and stared. In your haste, you had completely ignored the fact that the ground was soaking from the rain. As a result, when you burst forth from the edge of the woods at full speed, you slid across an exceptionally large patch of mud and landed firmly on your butt in front of the two strangers.

There was an awkward silence as the two stared at you for what seemed like forever, then, in an instant, that silence was broken as the purple-haired man, with a white stripe you now noticed, burst into the most obnoxious bout of laughter you’d ever heard.

“OH MY GOD! SUGAR BOY! DID YA SEE THAT!? SHE JUST- WHOA! His ridiculous laughter was cut short as you grabbed his arm, which had been pointing at you as he mocked your misery, and yanked him down into the mud with you. This resulted in a yelp from the victim and a gasp from…Sugar boy, was it?

After recovering from the initial shock of being dragged into the mud, the purple haired man looked at you, blinked a few times, and then let out a short laugh.

“Hi! Name’s Hughes!”

You stared at him for a second before grumbling “I’m _yn_....” Hughes grinned; he had a feeling he and you were going to be best friends.

Alright, my first fanfiction.
