Hello, I guess this is my very first story that I have ever written... Truth is that I've only been reading stories and now I'm just itching to write one. Also, I don't own anything. Arigatou...


Inside the Fairy Tail Guild

(Lucy Pov)

It's just another typical day, Natsu and Gray fighting, Canna drinking, and Elfman talking passionately about being a man. The only thing that was different was that a new fellow, or should I say "someone who returned from the dead," was attracting alot of attention. And I mean ALOT of attention.

Okay sure, I admit that I am a little bit jealous of her. After all, who wouldn't be jealous of someone who just shows up and suddenly takes the spotlight?

But I think she hates me. Because I'm being ignored for some reason by pretty much THE WHOLE GUILD! That is, if you exclude Wendy, Carla, Happy, Levy, and Master.

And no, I'm not stupid enough to realize that Team Natsu is going to kick me out of the team soon. How do I know that? Well, hmm, let's see here... They're ignoring me, going on missions without me, and when I ask to go on missions with them, they say that they have something else to do and STILL go on a mission without me.

Rude, right? I still forgive them as if I never knew about it and I pretend to be naive. Yes, I am angry with them but who can stop me? I love Natsu, although he's dating Lissana...

Anyways, I can't stand seeing the guild at the current moment. There isn't a single person to talk to here! Wendy, Carla, and Happy went on a mission together so that they can buy that sparkly dress for Carla.

Levy was on a mission as usual and I, at the moment, have no way of contacting her. And Master? At the current moment he's paying the expenses for the Guild and it's damage. Honestly, I wish that the members could do that instead to learn their lesson.

Just then, Team Natsu approached me. I could see Lissana with them, and one thing was for sure, she was smirking. I knew what was going to happen, and I knew that I'd be hurt.

"Luce! Hey, we have to tell you something." Natsu said cheerfully. But seriously, what's so good about kicking out one of your partners from your team?

"What now Natsu?" I answer acting as tired as possible. "Well, we were wondering if Lissana could join Team Natsu..." I didn't hear Natsu's voice. This voice was Gray's. I honestly thought that he would be on my side. Oh well, at least Erza will help me out.

"Lucy, we want you to become stronger... You know, and you'll have a hard time getting all of the celestial key's if you stay with Team Natsu..." You're joking right? First Nastu, then Gray, and Erza too. Such 'great' friends they are.

"Are you telling me that you're kicking me out? I'm fine with it one way or the other. And I was already expecting it..." I lied. Not a full lie, but I still lied. I did know that they were going to kick me out, but I wasn't okay. I thought that I would be but it was harder than I thought.

"Really! Yosh, let's go then!" Natsu shouted happily. I noticed that they had their stuff packed, and already found the mission that they were going to do. So that means that they were going to do whatever it took to get me off the team.

After some time, Master came in and I went to his office to talk to him.

"Master, I have something to ask of you..." I say. I'm completely loyal to him, so he knows that whatever I will say to him is the truth of what I think.

"Go ahead, I'm always hear to listen. After all child, you are the only one who's been talking to me like this since I joined Fairy Tail." He answered. I'm truly glad that I met someone like him. He's always by my side, as if he was my parent himself.

"I was kicked out of Team Natsu, and was told to become stronger. So... Being the person I am, would you allow me to excuse myself from Fairy Tail for training?" I ask him very determined.

I read his expression, knowing exactly what it means. Shocked because I want to leave, and angry because of Team Natsu, and their newly recruited member Lissana.

"From your reasoning, I can see that you will need some alone time for this. But will you still visit oneday? Or even return to us? Or maybe send me letters?" He goes on with questions, and I start tearing up.

"I don't know when I'll return or anything... But I'm going to miss everyone." Then, I let the tears drop from my face.

*sigh*"It's so sad to see my child cry in front of my eyes... I can't stand it. You are dismissed to leave. But only on one condition." He says very seriously.

I wipe my tears away and ask curiously,"What's the condition?" And he suddenly puts on a big smile and says, "Well, you just have to send me letters beforehand on when you're going to come visit of course!" I start laughing, Master always makes my day.

Then I remember something I needed to tell him,"Master, also can you keep me leaving a secret though?" I ask with pleading eyes.

"Why? Don't you still have to tell Levy, Carla, Wendy, and Happy?" He says. I shake my head. "No, I told them about it already. And can you take off the Fairy Tail mark for now? Also, I need to hurry. The train is tomorrow and I still haven't packed everything..." I say looking at him.

"Sure, pass your hand." And then he does this super awesome thing with his magic and my Fairy mark is gone.

"I guess I'll see your later then Mas- I mean Macarov." I wave goodbye and leave Fairy Tail.

It seems that it's time to start a new journey, alone...
