This is a new Lalu story I started. Sorry, but I may not be able to work on my other story as much because I'm writing several other stories (that aren't on fan fic) too. Anyways, I decided to use a "Lisanna comes back and replaces Lucy" cliche. I hope you'll like this.
The guild had finally finished their week long party for Lisanna's "revival from the dead." Over the 7 day celebration, Lucy had become great friends with Lisanna. At the moment, she was sitting at a table talking to Lisanna like they were old buddies. Natsu, Grey, and Erza walked up to Lucy.
"Hey, Lucy!" Natsu greeted. Lucy smiled in response. He continued, "Um, do you think Lisanna could take your place on the team? I mean, since she's back after two years and all. You can take this chance to train and stuff and you also don't need to worry about losing any reward money." Grey and Erza nodded in agreement.
This totally caught Lucy off guard. She shot a quick glance at Lisanna, but her face displayed confusion. Seeing Natsu's eager expression along with Grey's and Erza's hopeful gazes, she couldn't say no. Lucy plastered a smile on her face and said, "Sure, go for it!"
Natsu cheered and exclaimed, "Yosh! Thanks, Lucy!" He grabbed Lisanna's arm and said, "Come on, let's go pick a job!" Erza and Grey followed after them, casting Lucy one last look before choosing a job.
Knowing that she'd create a spectacle if she ran home right now, Lucy chose to stay for the rest of the day at the guild. She walked over to Mira and requested, "Can I have a strawberry smoothie, please?" Mira nodded and brought a tall glass filled to the top to Lucy. She set it down and asked, "Why aren't you going along with Team Natsu right now?" Mira eyed the noisy bunch that was just leaving the guild.
Lucy just sighed and replied, "Lisanna took my place. But no big deal, really." But the truth was, sadness was filling up inside of her. "Are you sure you're all right?" Mira asked worriedly. Lucy faked a smile and nodded. Finishing her smoothie, she said, "Thanks for the drink, Mira," and walked over to the table where Levy and Cana were sitting.
"Hey, guys!" she greeted (fake) cheerfully.
"Hello, Lucy," they replied in unison. "Why aren't you with Team Natsu?" Levy asked. Lucy didn't like answering that question. "Lisanna took my place," she said for the second time. Levy looked down at the table. "Oh. I'm sorry Lu-chan," she sympathized. Lucy shook her head, rejecting the sorry. "Don't worry, I'm fine," she assured.
Cana suddenly snapped her fingers. "I know what will make you feel better!" she exclaimed. Lucy rose an eyebrow and was going to say that she didn't need any comfort. "Fortune telling!" Cana continued, grabbing her deck of magical cards and spreading them out on the table. "Pick one," she instructed.
Lucy stared at the cards for about ten seconds before picking a random one near the left. Cana took the the card intently stared at the the card before saying, "Some one who is blond will become a big part of your life tomorrow."
"Huh?" was the only reply Lucy could make. Cana just shrugged and said, "That's all the card reveals. It doesn't give any more details." Levy appeared to be in deep thought, most likely thinking about who Lucy's special blond might be.
Lucy stood up and said, "Well, I guess I'll find out who the mystery blond is tomorrow. Bye!" Cana and Levy waved goodbye as Lucy made her way to Master Makarov's office.
When she entered the room, she closed the door behind her quietly. "Master," Lucy said softly. "Can I leave Fairy Tail for a few years so I can train? I promise I'll be back." Makarov stared at her, wide-eyed. "Lucy, my child," he whispered. His mind was in a jumble, trying to think of ways to make Lucy stay.
But Lucy begged, "Please, Master, please. I swear I'll come back. I really will. I'm just leaving to train for a few years. That's all. Please!" Makarov took in a deep breath, and then said, "Are you absolutely sure this is what you want?" Lucy nodded.
Sighing again, Makarov sadly spoke, "Very well, my child. Please try keeping your guild mark covered while you train." Lucy collapsed onto her knees and started repeating, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."
After all the thanks, Lucy stood up and left the master's office, turning around once more and bowing before she walked our the door. When the door closed, Makarov whispered, "Come back soon, Lucy."
So, what you you think? Please review :3 Sorry that it was a bit short. I'll try to make longer chapters. Bye! :D
