DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL MASHIMA HIRO DOES!

If I did own Fairy Tail I would make Gray mine mwhahahaha!

XxLUCY'S POVxX

I woke up early this morning happy, that a certain pink haired dragon slayer hadn't snuck into my bed last night. I took a nice warm bath and used my favourite strawberry vanilla shampoo. After wards I got dressed in a pink tank top, dark blue jeans, some white ballet flats. I put the belt on that holds my keys, had some breakfast and went to the guild.

The guild was as rowdy as usual, chairs being thrown around the room, beer being splashed on the floor. I dodged my way to the bar being careful to not end up like Biska who was sprawled out across the ground due to getting hit on the head with a beer mug. I made my way to my favourite seat and called for the silver haired bar maid.

"Mira..." no reply.

I sighed its been little over a month since Lissanna came back from edolas and the guild has been partying like crazy. And the whole time i've been ignored. Even my own team, Team Natsu has been ignoring me as they listen to the white haired mage's stories from edolas and that meant I had to take jobs all by my self. I mean my rent cant just pay itself!

Every time I come home from a job i'm covered in cuts and bruises. the only people who actually acknowledge me are Levy-Chan, Wendy, Charla, Gajeel, lily, happy and master. I think its because they came to the guild after Lissanna 'died' and don't really know her that much. At the moment levy-Chan is off with team shadow gear on a job, happy is off fishing for fish to give to Charla, Gajeel is training with Pantherlily and Wendy and Charla are off on a play date with Chelia. It's not that I blame Lissanna because I hear that she is a really nice person according to Levy-Chan.

"Miiiirraa" I cooed hoping to get a response.

"WHAT" she snapped and I flinched.

"C-c-can i-i get a m-milkshake" I stuttered.

she grabs a cup, pours it and slams it on the bar causing some of it to spill out onto the counter "THERE!" she grouches and goes back to listening to her sisters stories.

"T-thanks Mira" hoping to get a smile from her but she ignores me.

That's when Natsu comes up and sits on the stool next to me and smiles his trade mark grin that makes my heart skip a beat. I've had a crush on him since he caught me back at Phantom Lord's headquarters when I jumped and plus who could resist those deep charcoal orbs and his faint scent of smoke and those abs-"hey Luce can I ask you something" Natsu's voice brings me back to reality. This is the first time he has talked to me in weeks!

"Y-y-yeah what is it Natsu" God what is it with me and stuttering today?

"I was thinking Lissanna should join the team" He says with a grin.

"Yeah cool what harm can adding another team member do?" I say while looking up at him.

" No Luce I mean she can take your spot since your practically her replacement any ways" he says while grinning.

"Wha-what do you mean by that N-Natsu?" I say in a shaky voice.

This cant be happening no!

"I mean your off the team your really weak any ways and i'm always having to save you" He said in full seriousness.

Just then Erza and Gray walk up to us. I give them a pleading look "T-this is a joke right?"

"What's a joke?" Gray cooly asks.

"Me being kicked off the team funny right?" I give a shaky laugh.

But then Erza says "but its the truth. think of it this way now you don't have to complain about sharing the reward for your rent"

"You also should train to get stronger because you are always being saved by me and flame brain over there" Gray says as he jerks a thumb towards Natsu.

"Natsu and I don't you mean" Erza corrects him.

"Yeah what ever" Gray mumbles

"So is she off the team yet?" Lissanna says eagerly as she joins the conversation.

"So how about it Luce you should just leave the team because your dragging us down a lot and plus Lissanna is a better fit for the team"

That last sentence broke my heart into a million pieces and it took all I had to not break into tears just then. I hang my head down so my bangs are covering my eyes and whisper almost inaudibly the word "fine..."

But with Natsu's inhuman hearing picks it up and says to everyone in team Natsu "yosh lets go and take our first job as the new strong team Natsu" As he pumps his fist into the air and heads off towards the request board. I take that chance and run towards the doors and straight home hoping no one saw my tears as I left.

As I slowly walk towards the guild my eyes are red and puffy from crying myself to sleep last night. But i've made my mind up i'm going to temporarily leave the guild to get stronger and then they will be sorry for ever kicking me out!

I walk up to the familiar guild doors and push them open. I take a peek inside to see that the rowdy guild hall is empty and Mira is the only one at the bar. Well I guess that makes sense I mean who would show up to the guild at 6 AM in the morning?

I summon up my courage and go talk to Mira "Hey Mira do you know where master is?" I ask ready for her to snap at me like usual "Yeah he is in his office sweetie" "T-thanks" that scared me for a second but I guess she doesn't realise its me talking to her since she was cleaning the mugs. I walk up the stairs and down the hall towards masters office and knock on the door. "Enter" I hear from the other side of the door and I do as the voice says and enter.

Once i'm in the room and I close the door I look up at master who is reading letters off his desk. I'm guessing they are complaints from the magic council. He pauses reading one of the letters and asks "What you are about to say must be very important considering you are here at this hour in the morning. What is it you want my child?" I hesitate for a second but then I come out and say it after all i've already made up my mind about it "Master i've decided to leave the guild" I say my confidence radiating through my eyes "May I ask your reason for this decision?" he says sadly "W-well ever since lissanna returned everyone has been ignoring me except a few people. That I could deal with but just yesterday team Natsu replaced me with lissanna saying that I was too weak and just a hindrance to them. It just broke my heart but after that I still don't hate lissanna at all but i've decided to leave the guild to become stronger" I reply while tearing up. "Well if that is what you wish my child you can leave but just remember that you will always have a place to return to if things take a turn for the worst" And with that he takes my hand and waves his over it while saying an incantation that I cant make out properly and my pink guild mark disappears.

After that I exit the guild and run home feeling a new batch of tears coming but as soon as get to my apartment I calm down. I sit on my bed thinking of what to do next. I know I should write letters to Levy-Chan and the others so they don't worry. I'll also write a letter to team Natsu as well so I can let them know how I felt.

Dear Levy-Chan, Gajeel, Lily, Wendy, Charla and Happy please don't worry about me I have left to train to get stronger!

Thank you for sticking by my side this whole time and not abandoning me like the others.

Levy, i'm sorry you will have to wait for the new chapter of my novel for a while but, I guess time will give me more ideas for more chapters!

Gajeel, you should just kiss levy already because its pretty obvious to everyone that you like her!

Charla, please give happy a chance he really does like you!

Happy, please don't blame Natsu because of this outcome this was my idea and i'm sticking with it!

Wendy, thank you for healing me after all of those missions but i'm gonna get really strong so you wont have to any more ok?

Also please don't come looking for me ok?

Sincerely,

Lucy Heartfilia

I wipe a tear away from my cheek and grab another piece of paper from my desk draw and I write:

Dear Team Natsu i've decided to take your criticism as advise and i'm going to train to get stronger...

is what you think I would say but i'm seriously heart broken by all of you!

Gray, you were like an older brother to me but you said I was weak and that really hurt me but I will get stronger and kick your butt!

Erza, you were like an older sister to me like Gray but you said that I always complain about my rent but at least I don't destroy whole shops if they don't have what I want and you wonder why I complain so much!

Lissanna, I guess we didn't get that many chances to talk because I feel like from all the things i've heard about you that we could become good friends and id still really like to be your friend if you want.

And lastly,

Natsu, you I thought you were my best friend what was I to you exactly?

When you said I was weak and just a replacement for lissanna you broke my heart I loved you but you obviously didn't love me back and to think you thought those things about me!

When I get stronger I will battle you and I will defeat you so badly you will cry for mercy do not underestimate Lucy Heartflia's rage!

Also after you have read this and begin to regret your actions being the stubborn people you are I know you will start to search for me but dont look for me because I wont return until my goal is met.

Sincerely,

Lucy Heartfilia

After I finished the letters I grabbed a bag and put a couple days worth of clothes and all of my jewels and left the apartment leaving the envelopes on my desk for them to find. Then I headed for magnolia station and headed as far away from here as possible.

A/N: hey guys this is a re-upload of my story I didnt really change much in this chapter except I merged some of the chapters. Please review my story because I have like no confidence and if no one reveiws it feels like no one really likes my story. Even if its just one word like UPDATE! or some thing like that it would make me really happy.

Expect the next chapter with Kuro and Celeste soon

bye :D
