Alright, so I'm rewriting this story since it's been so long since I've worked on it. And now reading it, it's horrible and I'm actually surprised people like this.

But really, I want to improve it so here is the new yet old chapter! Of course I don't own Fairy Tail. BOO!

Normal pov:

Lucy laid her head on the counter sighing deeply at her pathetic state. No, really she was being ridiculous just lying around when no one was paying attention to her.

"Lu-chan!" A chirpy voice called and Lucy smiled. Almost no one she mentally amended.

Lucy turned to see the petite bluenette pulling herself up on a seat beside her. The two girls smiled at each other, and Lucy laughed as Levy dragged up a heavy book.

"Levy-chan, what's that book about?" Lucy asked curiously.

Levy began excitedly "See, Lu-chan I was reading this book and there's this riddle I wanted to see if you could help me with. There are way too many for me to be able to do them on my own."

Levy explained when she saw Lucy looking at her curiously. "See, the client wants to test the mental abilities of the mages coming on this request, so—,"

Lucy cut her off, "So when you want me to help you, you also want me to come on the mission with you?"

Levy shrugged helplessly "The paper's charmed so whoever does the riddles will be one of the mages to do the request. But there's a really good award for this. The client's giving 100,000 jewels, each! Strange huh?"

Lucy smiled "Of course I will! This will be perfect! One month's rent with some money left over! Here give me some of those."

Levy giggled at Lucy's eagerness, then looked at her rather gratefully.

The blue-haired girl handed over half the riddles and they began working on the many pages filled to the brim with the riddles.

The two looked at each other, and simultaneously pulled on their new Gale Force Reading Glasses Model 51x. Most of them were really just normal brain teasers but the two saw some good riddles in there once in a while too.

"Lucy!" Came a voice, and Lucy was startled out of her work when she saw a familiar pink-head walk towards her.

"Natsu?" Lucy whispered in disbelief. He hadn't talked to her in weeks, so for him to come up on his own was rather strange. Now it wasn't that Lucy hadn't tried to talk to him.

No, he just ignored the fact she was there and left as she was talking. In the middle of a sentence! Lucy's mind went back to when the whole fiasco started.

Flashback…

They had just come back from Edolas and Mira-san and Elfman had just found out Lisanna was still alive after Lily had found her. It had only been two hours but she felt like she had been forgone and replaced.

Wait, noshewas the replacement.

No BAD Lucy! What was she thinking! They are all seeing Lisanna after about two whole years and thought she had died. Of course they wanted to catch up with her. It was natural!

Days, then turned into weeks. She had begun having to go on solo missions day after day just so she could pay her rent. Her team, friends, her nakama had stopped looking at her altogether.

Also it wasn't just her that was being ignored – Juvia, Wendy and Charla who had all joined the guild after Lisanna's "death" had no longer been noticed by any of the other guild members.

Even Gajeel who typically preferred to be on his own, was now completely cast aside. It suited him just fine though. In fact he was almost pleased. Weirdly even though he insulted Natsu and Gray to their faces, neither one of them responded. That was enough to annoy him, but what got to him the most was that two certain people were being ignored. One of them being Juvia. The other was…Pantherlily.

It was rather strange. Other than the very first day, no one even remembered that Lily had joined the guild. Since he had done so the very day Lisanna had come back.

Overall the battle weary Exceed, was not impressed with Earthland. "Edolas was better." He stated once.

In fact the only people who still really remembered them, other than themselves and their fellow ignored nakama, were Levy, Happy and of course Master. Mira occasionally, as they were still customers at the bar, but she no longer tried to talk to them as she once did.

Slowly they all changed sticking to each other and not focusing whether or not anyone cared about them, even if it still hurt. No matter if it still hurt.

Flashback…

So that's why now, after so long, what could Natsu possibly want from them? Want from Lucy?

So now it's longer and better, I hope. Let me know what you think and please review!
