DISCLAMIER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL
ALL CHARACTERS AND STORY ARCS BELONG TO MASHIMA HIRO
It has been about seven months since they have talked to me or interacted with me. I would walk into the guild, and the guild would pay me no mind as I walked to my usual table in the back of the guild, so they continue to party, laugh, or maybe even start a guild fight.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm off topic. My name is Lucy Heartifilia, and I am Fairy Tail's celestial mage. I am…was a part of Team Natsu, which consisted of Natsu Dragneel, his best friend Happy, Gray FullBuster, Erza Scarlet, and…Lisanna Strauss.
After Lisanna came back from Edolas, Fairy Tail was ecstatic. The guild partied for months for her return as a Fairy Tail mage. I was also happy, because even though I did not know her, it was worth seeing the guild in the happiest time I have ever seen them in. But, during those months, I was ignored by the guild. I still didn't mind though.
I used to be on the team before Lisanna, but after three months when she came back, I was replaced by her. At first, she was temporarily going on mission with Team Natsu while I did solo missions. I remember that day that broke my heart.
It was another day at Fairy Tail as I sat at the bar. I tried to ask Mira if she could make me a vanilla milkshake, but I didn't success because she was making a cake for Lisanna. Oh well, I can ask later.
I just sat there thinking until a hand tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see Natsu with his dragon-like, cheeky grin on his handsome face. "Hey Lucy, we got a question for you," he said. "Aye sir!" said Happy as he popped out from behind Natsu. I was shocked to see them talking to me after three months.
I looked behind Natsu to see Erza and Gray with smiles on their faces too. "What's the question?" I asked. "We were thinking about it for a while now, and decide if Lisanna can join Team Natsu!" he said. "Sure, I don't mind," I said. His smile went down a little. "No, what I mean is if Lisanna can take your place on the team," he explained. If you heard a loud crack, that was my heart breaking.
"W-What?" I said trying not to break down. "Yeah, you said that you always need money for rent, food, and other stuff, but you couldn't because the team kept destroying the towns we would go to, and you said you were the weakest link in the team, so you can become stronger," Gray said.
"O-oh, r-right," I said clenching the stool that I was sitting on. "Thanks Lucy!" Natsu said as he and the gang walked off to tell Lisanna the good news.
After they left, I ran out of the guild to my apartment before the tears I had building up in my eyes came crashing down.
Ever since that day, I just did solo missions as they had the times of their lives with each other. Like today, I was now browsing the mission board to find any good ways to pay for rent. I looked for about five minutes until one caught my eye. I picked up the paper and read over it.
Help Wanted: Harley Gore
Crime: Kidnapping wizards and using forbidden magic to take away said wizards' magic

That looked good for me. I smiled and walked over to the bar to ask Mira for the mission. "Mira, may I go on this mission?" I asked. "Huh? Oh, sure," she said not even reading the mission I picked out. I sighed and walked out of the guild to my apartment to pack for the trip.
I walked into the dark, empty apartment as I remember how Natsu and Happy used to break in and surprise with their visit. Chucking a little, I went to my closet to get my suitcase. I put the suitcase on the bed, and I went to my dresser to get clothes for the trip.
After I packed, I went to my box where I kept my pay from missions to get enough money for food, hotel, and the train ticket. I made sure my keys were all here, and then I left my apartment to the train station.
Magnolia Station
After buying the ticket, I walked through the large, loud crowd to quickly get to my train before it takes off without me. I gave my ticket to the conductor and went into the car that held my seat.
It was about ten minutes after sitting down before the train started up, and I watch the scenery in the window pass by and the station becoming smaller in view. I looked at the afternoon sky and the sun slowly setting for the day.
It was a beautiful sight as the sky had a mix of orange, yellow, and red. It looked like an enormous flame taking the bright, blue sky into a fusion of that looked like water and fire, battling each other to take the sky for themselves.
The flame reminded of a certain fire slayer that I had a crush on for a while…Okay, maybe not a crush, more like love. But it's impossible for Natsu to love me like I love him because I think that he loves Lisanna. I felt so much betray that day he replaced me with her, and I always question if he only hanged out with me because Lisanna was 'dead.'
I felt tears prick into the corners of my eyes. No, I need to be strong! I need to focus! I took a deep breath, wiped my eyes, and leaned my head against the window still as I felt my eyelids because heavier and heavier as I let sleep take over me.
