Lucy's P.O.V.

Students start filling in the classrooms as homeroom is about to begin.  I sit at my desk, zoning out as Natsu tells me a story about how he fought a monster in the woods the other day.

"-I ended up throwing it off a cliff."  He says as I zone back in.

"That's great Natsu."

"Were you even listening?" (-_-)

"Uh....heh."  I scratch the back of my head sheepishly.

He sticks his tongue out at me in a childish manner.  I roll my eyes at his action and let out a giggle.

"Good morning students, its Makarov here with the announcements!"  Principal Makarov says over the speaker.  Some people start to listen as others keep chatting.

"I will now be announcing the two students who have been chosen to participate in the FMR, so.....I NEED ALL YOU BRATS TO SHUT UP!"  He yells.  Everybody immediately stops talking and listens.

"Thank you.  Now then.....let's begin."  Noises of shuffling papers can be heard through the speaker.  Everybody is on the edge of their seats, wanting to know who's been chosen.

"The female participant is...."

I start to sweat as my hands get shaky.  An uneasy feeling spreads throughout my body.  I think about all the painstaking work it took to get to this moment.  All those years of wanting to be part of the FMR, and now I can only pray that I'll be chosen.

'Please be me. Please be me.'  I chant in my head, over and over again.  My heart is beating like a drum and racing like a cheetah. 

"Lucy Heartfilia!"

I sit there shocked as everyone in my class starts cheering and clapping for me.

"Wow they picked another junior this year!!"

"I knew she would be picked."

"She's so lucky."

I hear random comments throughout the classroom.  I just laugh and sweatdrop, though on the inside I'm going crazy.  I start to get a feeling of happiness and excitement.

"You did it Luce!"  Natsu says, patting my back while grinning.

"Thanks Natsu."  I say with a genuine smile.

The class dies down as the announcement continues.

"Now for the male participant...."

The whole class is silent, you could hear a pin drop.  'I wonder if it'll be Natsu or a senior.'  I start thinking about the outcome.  A part of me wants Natsu to be picked so I'm familiar with my partner, but another part of me wants someone else to be picked so I don't have to deal with the pink haired perv.

I look over at Natsu.  You can tell he's trying to keep his cool, but knowing him he's most likely anxious on the inside.

"Natsu Dragneel!"

Once again, the class starts cheering.  All the guys start hollering.

Opposite from my poise reaction, Natsu gets up on his desk, and pumps his fist in the air while cheering.

After the class died down for the second time, I congratulate Natsu and we talk for the rest of homeroom.

"Looks like we'll be working together from now on."  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) He says, smirking and raising his eyebrows up and down.

I give him a look that says 'you're scaring me'.  "Yeah. Sadly."

"What's that supposed to mean!?"  He puts up his fist as if he's looking for a fight.

I glare at him and he starts to glare back.

After five minutes of bickering,  Levy and Gray start walking towards us.

"Ah, how lovely........you're fighting."  Gray states sarcastically.

"You guys are like a married couple! Hehe."  Levy says with a squeal.

"No way!"  Natsu and I say simultaneously.  We both cross our arms and look away from each other.  Gray and Levy just laugh at our childish actions.

I quietly take my quiz, trying to ignore the fact that Natsu keeps copying off of me.  I send him glares every once in a while but he obviously doesn't care.

A voice then calls through the intercom.  "Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia, to the Principal's office please."

I look over at Natsu and he just shrugs.  We then get up and walk down together.

"I hope we're not in trouble."  I say with a worried tone.

"If we are, then I'll just blame you."  He says, hands in his pockets.

I punch his arm as he laughs.  We keep walking down the huge, elegant hallways of the building, making our way down to Makarov's office.  After a couple of minutes, we finally reach the place.

I open the door and walk in first, with Natsu right behind me.  The office walls and floors are dark brown, making the room feel a bit scary.  Bookshelves are propped against the walls, filled with magical objects and books.

We take our seats that happen to be right in front his desk.  He turns around in his black leather swivel char.

"Hello.  You both are probably wondering why I called you up here."  He says, his fingers interlocking on the desk.

We both nod, waiting for him to continue.

"Follow me."  He gets up and walks over to one of the book shelves.

We just do as he says.  He pulls out one of the books, though not all the way.  We just stand there waiting.

"Uh......do you need help getting that book out or something?"  I say awkwardly.

"Huh?  Oh whoops, wrong one."  He pushes the book back in and then pulls out the one next to it.  The bookshelf starts to rumble and shake.  We step out of the way as it flips open like a door.  Behind the bookshelf reveals a very steep and dark staircase.

"What the hell?"  Natsu says confused.

"Shut up and follow me."  He grabs a lantern off his desk and leads us down the creepy stairs.

We walk down for what seems like forever until we reach a stone wall. 

"Ugh, a wa-"  Natsu says, though I cut him off by slapping his arm.

Makarov then pushes one of the stones causing the wall to rise, revealing another room.

The room is quite big.  It's a creepy dark, but there's still lighting.  Training equipment for magic and body are in different parts of the room. (A/N: The room is the media above).

We stand near the entrance that we came through, not knowing what to do. 

"So why are we here?"  I ask Principal Makarov.

A new voice then comes from the other side of the room.  "We can explain everything from here."

Startled by the voice we look over to see who it is.

"Erza? Laxus!?!?!"  Natsu and I say simultaneously.

"Well, I'll be heading back now.  Goodbye for now."  With that, Makarov leaves us with the two older students.  The former FMR participants to be exact.

We watch as he walks back into the darkness in which we came here from.

"Okaaaaay.  Can someone explain what the hells going on."  Natsu says with a bored and confused expression.  "And how are you even here, Laxus?"

"Shut up before I punch you."  Laxus says, annoyed.

"I'm surprised they picked both juniors this year.  Though I'm impressed as well."  Erza says.  "Anyways, allow me to start explaining."
