A Fresh Start

Chapter 1: 2 Weeks Earlier

* 2 Weeks Earlier *
"Nashi! Leo! Come down for a sec, your Dad and I need to tell you something!" Leo and I were doing our homework when we were called down, we got off our bunk beds and headed down stairs. "Yes Mom? What is it?" We said in usion, we giggled. Mom and Dad both looked exited about this mysterious news. We were confused as to why. "You know how we all wanted to go to Fiore, California right?" "Yes?" "Well your Dad just got transferred there, so we are moving to Fiore in 2 weeks! Isn't that exciting?!" We were excited, so excited that we started jumping up and down with our Mom, while Dad just stood there laughing at us. After we finished jumping up and down we went back up stairs to finish our homework. "Hey Leo?" "Ya?" " We no more have to suffer the pain." "Yes, no more pain, Nashi." When we finished our homework, we got ready for bed. We both looked up to our ceilings that had glow- in- the- dark stars, that was the last thing we saw as we fell into a dream of wonder.
"... hi... shi... ashi... NASHI!!!" WHO, WHAT, WHERE?!" "HAHAHA!!" I look up to see Leo rolling on the floor laughing with tears forming in her eyes, while clutching her gut. "LEO!" I had a murderous aura surrounding me, Leo was trying to back away slowly with sweat drops coming down her face. All of a sudden we heard running feet and dad running in, getting on his knees in a begging position and says, "Please hide me?!" As he is saying this we hear our Mom. "NATSU DRAGNEEL!!! COME BACK HERE!!" "Girls please his me from your Mom? Please?" Leo and I looked at each other with an evil glint in our eyes. Dad saw this glint and had gotten even more scared. "Sure Dad, we'll help," he let out a sigh of relief," but on one condition." He started to shiver," W-What's the condition?" We smirked," Our chores for a month once we move." He then became quite somber. "Pun Pun", we heard our dog barking. "Oh no I forgot to let Plue out!" I looked at Leo and we nodded, I left to get Plue and Leo to hide Dad. When I had gotten down stairs I opened the back door and let Plue out to do his 'business'. While I waited for him to come back I felt something lean against my legs. I look down to see Happy, our blue cat. Yes I do mean blue as in the color blue. I picked up Happy and looked out the door to see Plue waiting to come in. I opened the door and the three of us went up stairs to feel a VERY deadly aura coming from our room. I could hear my Dad's pleadings to my Mom. "Lucy, please I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" Then the noise stops and the deadly aura disappears, I hesitantly walk in and I see my Dad beaten up ... Again. "Ohiyo Mom." "Ohiyo Nashi." "What did Dad do this time?" She then looks and starts acting like a 5 year old child," He ate the chocolate cake I was saving for us." Leo and I then started to grow an even deadlier aura then moms, (and that's saying something.) Lets just say Dad won't be moving for a while. "Leo, Nashi you won't be going to school this week so we can pack every thing in the house to leave ok?" "Yes Mom." We leave during Spring Break so we can get use to the area in Fiore where we are staying before school starts up again.

As we taped up the last box & ship it to our new house in Fiore, Dad told us that his best friend Gray, his wife Juvia, and their two kids were going to pick us up at the air port. As we settled in our sits, I ask," Hey Leo?" "Ya what's up?" How old do you think their kids are?" "Mom told me that they are both boys, one is 16 like us and the other a year older than us, so I would say 17." "I wonder if we will get along?" "Mom said that when Uncle Gray and Dad were younger they would fight everyday for the tiniest of things, but if one of them was in trouble, they would each have the others back." " That's so nice, I wish I had a friend like that." "We will one day, but right now, let's get some sleep, it's going to be a long plane ride." "Ok." We both fell asleep after that.
