New Lives Call for New Looks

"Well, whatever." I shrugged and turned to her.

"Could we get a wardrobe change or something, because my wig- er, hair is bothering me right now," I said, awkwardly.

Ruby gave me an okay sign and put us all into separate changing stalls. I don't think she noticed my big stumble. I sighed.

"Hey, Mom. I hate you. Your second prediction happened. Only 1 left. But why couldn't you have told me why I needed to hide?" I whispered to myself.

My mother, Rosielle Xi, was a very famous actress. I get the whole part where I had to hide from the paparazzi, but did I really need a wig? My hair color was different from my mom and dad's. Like, I don't get the point.

I yanked the black wig off my head and blonde wavy hair fell down near my waist. I took off my old clothes and put on the new ones that were prepared for me. It was a black and white shirt with a long white coat that stopped right before it reaches my wrist but below my elbow. The black shorts and boots that I had made my outfit contrast with my hair and stand out.

I turned towards the mirror and saw a girl that I haven't seen for 16 years. My blonde hair still had pink and blue streaks in it. I twirled around to get a full view of my outfit and smiled. Only one word could describe this outfit.

"Perfect."

I jumped around at the familiar voice and sighed with relief.

"Ruby, what are you doing?" I asked.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't think we met?" she responded nervously.

"That's right. The black-haired girl left beforehand. And you saw me enter this room, right?" I said, almost threateningly.

"Y-yes. I didn't see anyone but you in here. And the black-haired girl left first," she stammered.

I patted her head.

"Good girl."

I looked up and frowned. No one needed to know what I actually looked like. And wait... come to think of it, my chest feels heavier. I looked down and let out a cry.

My chest was just as big as Lucy's!

"W-what?!" I sputtered.

"Oh that. It's to help your disguise," Ruby said smiling shyly.

I turned towards her in surprise. So she did know.

"You aren't-"

"To say a word about this. I know. I got that threat early from His Greatness. Trust me, not fun," she crossed her arms.

We walked right out of the changing room to where the other 4 were waiting.

"What took you so long, ugly girl?" Carnie sneered as she turned around and faced me.

"Excuse me. Do I know you?" I said in a cold voice.

"S-s-sorry. I mistook you for someone else," she stammered.

"Do I look ugly to you?" I said in the same tone.

It was like the room dropped 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

"No. Of course not," she blabbered. "You're gorgeous, no, a goddess."

Carnie kept on rambling on and on.

"Um, miss," Calvin asked.

"Yes?"

He stepped back and hesitated before speaking up again.

"Have you seen this black-haired girl-?"

"She left already," Ruby interrupted. "I just received this girl from my coworker. He had too many people. Anyways, have fun!"

She gave them a smile and teleported them to Fiore.

"Where did you send them too?" I asked.

"I sent the two girls to near Raven Tail's base and the two boys to Lamia Scale. Why?"

She looked at me like a little sister asking her big sister for advice on homework. Seen that way too many times before.

"Nothing. What's the year there?" I was taking this seriously. I didn't want to mess up all the ships in FairyTail. They need to happen. #NaLu4Life!!!!

"It's July 2, X784," Ruby replied.

"Good. Send me to Hargeon, the port town. I have someone to meet there."

I smiled, thinking of my new future ahead.

"Alrighty! See you!" Ruby screamed as I was teleported to Hargeon.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them to see a place I could only dream of seeing myself. A bustling town with seagulls and.... very few wizards. Seems like I'm in the right place.

"First thing on my list: Meet Lucy Heartfillia, Natsu Dragneel, Happy, and join FairyTail!" I cheered.

People in the square looked at me weirdly and I waved in response. Nothing was going to bring me down. Now... just to find that shop Lu-chan's in. My adventure's just getting started!
