The Fiore Chronicles Part 1

A/N: Ok It’s been a long time with this, but to be honest for a while I contemplated just cutting off the story at the previous chapter because part of me felt it would be beating a dead horse to continue. But with the response from all the people who have favorited this story and actually enjoy it, I am going to give it a shot with this little arc and then see where it goes from there.

right then onwards we go. -walks over to a door and opens the lock with a glimmering golden key, a bright light swallowing you readers into the story-

=====================================================================


Twilight smiled and looked around at her friend and number one assistant Spike, as well as the two princesses as they all sat at the table in the castle gardens, the two alicorns and young drake eagerly awaiting her tale. She gave a slight smile and looked at them. “Right then. This is the story of my first adventure in the land of Fiore.” She said, her mind taking her back to what had started out as an ordinary day, yet turned into so much more.

Twilight gave a shiver as she sat up in her library, looking at the window to judge the time of day. “Hmm, just about noon.” she said with a smile, heading over to the kitchen to grab herself a quick snack. “hmm, daisy sandwich, or maybe one of those hayseed muffins Ditzy Do brought me yesterday. She really does make some of the best muffins. Almost as good as Pinkie’s cup-” her speech was cut off as she all of a sudden found herself no longer in her kitchen, but rather in front of a large castle looking building, a single large tapestry hanging from the front with a familiar insignia. “-cakes....” she shook her head a bit and turned, smiling as she saw Lucy. “You know, we really should work on some way of maybe warning me before this happens.” She said with a smile, trotting over to the blond haired stellar mage.

Lucy gave a smile and laughed. “Maybe the Master can figure something out.” She said and leaned down, hugging Twilight. “So, what did you summon me for?” She said, her curiosity somewhat taking an interest now. Since her first time being summoned to this other world, she had only been summoned once before, and that was more of just a quick exchange between her and the guildmaster about the differences of magic between the worlds. Though for Twilight, a quick exchange took about two hours. Lucy smiled at the unicorn and pointed at the large town in front of the guild. “well I figured since you were going to be one of our friends now, we could give you the grand tour.” She said with a smile.

The two then walked into the busy streets of Magnolia, several of the smaller children immediately crowding around Twilight, most of them also wanting to try and hop on her to ride on her back. At this Twilight couldn’t help but laugh and smile, before giving a grimace as too many tried to climb on at once, causing her to collapse under the pile of kids. Lucy gave a gasp but couldn't help but giggle a bit as the children were all slowly levitated up into the air, revealing a slightly flattened Twilight.

Lucy gave a smile and walked over. "You alright Twilight?" The blonde mage laughed softly as she walked over to help the unicorn. Twilight gave a soft smile and nodded. "Yeah I'm okay. i just wasn't expecting all of them to try and climb on at once." At this they both shared a small laugh before Lucy turned to the pile of children picking themselves up. "Now I want you all to apologize to Twilight for causing such a fuss." The children nodded and turned to Twilight before apologizing and all running off to play more. Lucy gavr a sigh and turned to Twilight. "Are kids this crazy in your world?" Twilight rolled her eyes. "You have no idea." She said with a laugh, remembering all the antics of the cutie mark crusaders.

Lucy smiled and over the next hour or so began giving Twilight the tour of the city, showing her many of the shops and interesting places. Needless to say a few people were surprised at seeing a talking pony, but in a world of magic, they quickly got over their surprise and practically welcomed her as another member of the community. "And this is an interesting spot." By now they had arrived at a stage that had a large area for a crowd. "A while back, there was a contest held here to decide....well it was basically a beauty pageant, but its a bit embarassing to recall that part honestly. But what happened next was an uproar no one saw coming." She then began telling Twilight about the chaos caused by the Raijinshuu and Laxus during the festival. (If you don't know who Laxus or the Raijinshuu are, go read the manga. I aint retelling a whole arc worth of stuff. Plus if anyone is reading this and has just started reading the manga learn this fact about me. I HATE SPOILERS!!! and now back to your regularly scheduled fanfic, already in progress. -sips from coffee mug-)

Twilight sat there stunned at the story of what had happened in this peaceful town. "Wow, who knew Natsu was that powerful." At this statement from the unicorn, Lucy covered her mouth and giggled. "What?" Twilight asked. "What's so funny?" Lucy smiled and uncovered her mouth. "Natsu is....well to say he's powerful is just an understatement. When it comes to protecting those he cares about, he will do whatever it takes to make sure they are kept safe." she smiled softly, Twilight looking at her and giving a smile. "Do you like Natsu Lucy?" At the blunt statement Lucy blinked, her face turning red before she began flailing her arms. "W-w-w-what?!? like him? no no no no no! yes he's a nice guy and really fun, but Natsu is...well he's like a brother to me. Everyone at Fairy Tail is like my family." she said with a happy smile, her face still red. Twilight laughed softly and smiled before Lucy placed a hand on her head. "Come on, there's still plenty to show you." she said, leading the unicorn through more stores and open markets, talking with friends and soon arriving back at the guild.

"So Twilight, how do you like the town?" Lucy asked as they entered the building. "It's amazing. So many friendly people, and hyperactive kids are a problem I'd be willing to bet every world shares." she said, both of them laughing as Lucy sat down at a nearby table, Twilight standing next to it. "Welcome back you two." Mirajane said as she brought over a glass of soda for Lucy, and a glass of water for Twilight Twilight smiled, her horn glowing as she levitated the glass to her mouth and took several sips. Though after several moments of peaceful silence, Natsu came running over to the table shouting while holding a flyer in his hand. After all let's face it, silence in Fairy Tail has a shorter life span than steak on a Texan's dinner plate.

"Oi Lucy! I found a new mission for us!" he said, slapping the paper down on the table, Happy hopping off Natsu's shoulder and landing next to the paper. Lucy and Twilight looked at each other before leaning over to look at the job request paper. "farming/livestock village requesting help concerning animals and harvested crops being taken in the middle of the night. purpetrator unknown, though one farmer claims to have seen a large beast swoop down and carry the animal away. Reward two hundred and fifty....THOUSAND JEWEL!?!?" Lucy said in surprise. She then looked and saw it was an A rank mission. Her inner fear about a dangerous creature made her want to tell Natsu no but when she went to look up, he was already over by the master getting his approval.

Makarov looked at the flyer. "Hmm alright then, but since it's an A rank mission." he turned over to another table. "Gray, Erza, you two go as well." At this Gray slammed his hands on the table. "Why do I have to work with this hot head?" At this Natsu leaned over at Gray. "What did you say you exhibitionist wannabe?!" Before they could begin fighting Erza knocked them both over the head and grabbed them by the backs of their shirts. "Understood Master." With that she began dragging them towards the front of the main hall, Lucy standing up and following after, Twilight looking at Gray and Natsu with a slightly concerned look. “Will they be alright?” She asked, seeing the large bumps on their heads. “Oh those two get into fights all the time. Erza just does that to knock some sense into them. Though there are times where I think she goes a bit overboard.” She said with a small laugh. Twilight smiled slightly and nodded, following the four towards the train station where they would begin their next mission, and Twilight’s first ever adventure in this world.
