'Oh great, just great! I knew he didn't like me… of course he would pick Lisanna, I mean they are childhood friends and everything. I'M SO STUPID!' If you are wondering what happened well, a little while ago when Lucy was sitting at the bar drinking a milkshake she heard an announcement. "LISANNA AND I ARE DATING!" Lucy's expression changed drastically. From happy and cheerful to devastated and hurt. With a few tears already in her eyes as she made her way to the Master's office. "M-master can I leave for a while?" "I saw this coming. If you insist child but please come back to me." "Of course." Master removed her mark and sent her off to be alone. As she made her way down the stairs, a BIG party has already started. Lucy found Mirajane, Levy, and Erza and told them goodbye and that she would miss them. They all stared at her funny and asked why,but Lucy just told them sorry and left. Mirajane had made the connections before the rest of the girls did so this wasn't a big shock but was taken back at the thought of Lucy not being there. When Lucy exited the guild she walked into the nearby forest and sat down by a small stream. "What should I do now?" "Who are you talking to?" Lucy's head snapped up and found Sting Eucliffe standing right next to her about 3 feet away. "No one" "Where is your little boyfriend, Natsu?" Lucy started to cry again "Hey! Don't cry. Um I'm sorry what's wrong?" 'Oh geez I'm starting to get soft' "Natsu is dating Lisanna so I left because 1) I'm weak 2) I loved him" "Why don't you come hangout with me?" "WHAT?!" "I'm serious. Rogue and I could use another person." "Um…sure" "Okay let's go Blondie." "YOU'RE BLONDE TOO!" "Tch… whatever" Lucy and Sting continued to walk back to Lucy's apartment to grab some things and tell the landlady that she would be away for a while. As Lucy and Sting entered her apartment she was shocked to find a pink haired dragon slayer with a blue cat sitting on her bed. "What are you doing here?" "I didn't see you at the guild so I came here to see if you came home. Wait… What is that smell?" Natsu got up from her bed and made his way to the living room where he spotted a blonde light dragon slayer from Sabertooth. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" "I'm Lucy's new partner so I'm here to help her pack some clothes and leave, duh... What are you doing here?" "I was waiting for her to come back because she wasn't at the guild anymore." Lucy was just packing clothes when she heard a lamp break. "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!" "LUCEE HE SAYS YOU ARE LEAVING!" "BECAUSE I AM!" then it went silent "Why Lucy?" Because I'm weak and you are dating Lisanna and I loved you so I can't watch you to be all lovey-dovey." "But why him?" "Because he was there and made me feel better." Natsu had no comebacks. "Hear that, flamebrain? I was there when you weren't so I'm better than you. Come on Lucy." "Okay. Bye Natsu." "Bye Luce." Lucy and Sting walked out of her apartment and to the train station. When they boarded the train Sting started to get sick. "You get motion sickness too?" Lucy giggled "Don't laugh at me!" "Here lay your head down on my lap." Sting put his head in her lap while Lucy was playing with his hair.
~Time Skip to Sting and Rogue's House~
"Rogue! I'm home!" "Hello Sting, you brought a friend." Yeah this is Lucy, she is gonna stay with us for a little while." While Lucy settled into her new room Sting and Rogue were talking, "So… you finally picked up a chick?" "Not that… she was depressed so I brought her here. And maybe I do like her, is that a bad thing?" "No not at all just let me know when you guys are going to do it, so I can make other arrangements." "ROGUE!" "What?" "Don't say that because we aren't going to." "Whatever you say lover-boy… Come on, you wouldn't want to bang her?" "I would but just not now." "So what are we gonna do with her now? Take her to the guild?" "Minerva would murder her, so no. I guess we could just have her hang out here or something." "Whatever you want to do." As their conversation ended Lucy stepped out of her room and went to sit on the couch with a pen and some paper. "What are you doing Blondie?" "I'm writing and you are blonde too." "Tch, whatever."
