Hey everybody! It's NaluShipper02! I know I said that I'll never have two stories in process, but this is nothing more than a one-shot, two-shot, or at most a three-shot, I thought sounded good for all of you! It is a little dramatic and sad, but there will be a happy ending. I hope you all like the story! Please. Please, PLEASE Support! The more support, the more updates and stories you'll get!
Hiro Mashima is the lucky duck that owns Fairy Tail. If I did, Lucy and Natsu would've kissed at the end of the movie.
Lucy's POV
"Lucy. It wasn't your fault that the monster attacked you! You were fighting the other one, so you weren't paying attention! It's not your fault, not at all!" Natsu said nicely to me, but I didn't believe it. I knew he was trying to cheer me up, but I know the facts: I'm not strong enough to be on the same team as Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Natsu, or even in the same guild as them.
It seems like every job we go on, I get in the way, either by complaining, or by getting hurt or attacked. I just ain't strong enough to be with them.
"Okay… I'm going to head home and unpack. See you at the guild tomorrow!" I said, trying my best to hide my sadness.
'I'll see you tomorrow, for the last time.' I thought.
Natsu's POV
"She's not fooling me." Erza said to the left of me. I knew it, too. She just won't stop blaming herself. It honestly isn't her fault. We didn't get the reward because of me burning down half the town, trying to… Oh wait.
"I'm going to go check on her." I said as I began to walk in the direction to her quaint apartment. "No, Natsu. We should just leave her be. She'll probably just kick you out, anyways." Ice Princess(Gray) indicated to my right.
"Fine,but I'm checking on her early tomorrow, then." I replied as we continued our trek back to our beloved guild, Fairy Tail.
The Next Morning (Lucy's POV)
I slowly lifted my puffy eyelids and yawned loudly. "This was it, then. I'm quitting the team, and Fairy Tail." I said into my empty room, standing up to head to the shower.
Suddenly, I heard my window begin to open and I spun around, only to come face-to-face with the one and only, Natsu Dragneel.
"What do you want, Natsu. Can't you see I need to get ready?" I whispered, not lifting my eyes from the now-interesting floorboards.
"I just… wanted to check on you. Make sure you weren't doing something stupid. But it seems you're okay, so I'll see you at the guild, okay?" He said, giving me 'that grin'. The one that always made me so flustered and smile back. But I knew I wouldn't see it anymore, or at least for a while.
As he began to walk back to my ajar window, I whispered,"I'm sorry." "Huh?" I heard him say, turning to me with a confused look. "Oh, it's nothing. Just talking to myself." I said, fakeness evident in my voice.
Being the dense idiot he is, he shrugged his shoulders and told me I was weird before hopping out the window.
One Hour Later
As I stepped out of my room to make breakfast, I realized a flaw in my plan: I know some are going to try and stop me. "I can't let anyone get in my way." I said as I popped a slice of bread into the toaster. I grabbed my keys and summoned Aries.
"I'm sorry! What do you want me to do for you, Miss Lucy?" She said shyly.
"I need you to come with me to the guild. I'm... " I mumbled the last part, a little scared to tell the shy celestial spirit.
"I'm sorry. I didn't catch that. Sorry, but excuse me?" She said, leaning in closer.
"I'm quitting the guild. At least for a while." I voiced sadly, and she gasped.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, but why? I thought you adored the guild as much as you adored us spirits. Why would you quit?" She said, worry and confusion etched into her tone.
"I wish to get stronger. I can't be weak for my friends. And I'll do that by training. All I need you to do is use your pink fluffy cloud of wool to cover the whole room while I talk to Master. You could then take it down and only cover people who you know would try and stop me while I give them the news. Make sure to cover Natsu, Erza, Gray, Happy, and Levy at ALL cost. Thank you." I said urgently as I began walking to the door with the pale Gate of the Ram.
In Front Of The Guild
"Okay, Aries. You ready?" I asked, hand against the large oak doors I always loved to open. She nodded her head sadly and I grimaced. I knew she didn't like me quitting, but it was for my own good. I can't be weak for my family. I need to be strong.
As I pushed open the doors, I saw everyone turn to me and smile. I turned towards Aries and nodded my head slowly. Immediately, pink fluff filled the entire room and I ran up the stairs and into Master's office.
Master lifted his head from the papers he was signing (probably bills from damages Team Natsu caused) and looked at me curiously. "What is it, my child?" He voiced through his big mustache as I sat down in one of the office chairs.
"I… I wish to quit the guild. I want to get stronger. So I will be training for a couple of years somewhere. I don't know where just yet, but I will figure it out. I just want you to know that even though I'm weak, I love that you all treated me like I was super I know I ain't. Please don't try to search for me. I might return once I have finished my training. Thank you for being the father I never had and to everyone else for being the family I always wanted. I will m-miss you all…" I mumbled at the end, allowing salty tears to stream down my face and land in my folded hands.
I lifted my head to the master and saw tears pouring out of his eyes. I stood up and grabbed him in my arms, sobbing into his shoulder as he did to me. We stood there for a couple of minutes before I reluctantly pulled away.
"I'm s-sorry to say, but I have to remove you mark. It will return when you step foot back into your home. W-we will all miss you dearly, my child." Makarov said solemnly as I watched the pink mark on my hand fade away into nothingness. I felt a new batch of tears begin to pile in the corners of my eyes, but achieved to hold them in.
As I stepped out the doorway, I nodded my head to Aries, who in turn cleared away the fluff from all the guild member's faces, but kept them in the sticky wool from the shoulders down.
"Lucy! Tell Aries to let us go!" I heard Max yell from the bar.
"Yeah! What is this all about!?" Gray voiced loudly from the other side of the room.
"Luce! What are you doing?" Nastu said from behind me, sitting at the table nearest to me. I walked over to him and sat in the seat across from him. He stared at me with confusion and I giggled half-heartedly. "This is what's wrong, Natsu." I whispered quietly as I lifted my right hand and held it out for him to see. Where there was once a pink Fairy Tail guild mark, was now pale soft skin.
He gasped and shook, visible even under all the pink fluff. "No… Why? Why are you quitting?" He said, sorrow mixed into his voice. Everyone gasped around us and I heard some faint from the news.
"I'm too weak to be here. So I quit. Don't take this too harsh, but I also quit the team. I'll miss all of you."I said sadly and stood from my seat.
"No! Luce! Don't leave! You're not weak at all! Everybody knows that!" I heard Natsu yell behind me, struggling to get free.
I let my head fall and allowed the tears to fall. "No, Natsu. I'm not. If I was strong, I wouldn't need to be saved by you all the time! If I was strong, I wouldn't be doing this! I don't want to do this, but I want to be stronger, for you guys!" I yelled at the end and continued towards the door.
"No! Please! Don't leave!" He continued to yell as I opened the doors. I turned around and smiled weakly. "See ya, later!" I said and looked towards Aries. "Aries, please do me a favor and don't go back for another hour, so I could hop on a train. Make sure to keep them in the wool. Thank you! I'll give you something extra special for your help!" I said and continued out.
I'm going to miss you guys.
There we go! I hope you all enjoyed it! It took me, like, five hours to just write this whole thing! Please support and I'll be able to write more for you! Love you all!
