Sup! Please R&R if you want this story to continue! Thanks~!
(Lucy's POV)
It all started when Lisanna returned. We don't blame her. No. It was the guild's fault. They forgot the newbies and replaced us. I'll stop the ranting here and start from the beginning.
After Lisanna returned, Fairy Tail celebrated with a three day party. I didn't mind that everyone was talking with Lisanna and catching up. The only problem was that I didn't even get to introduce myself. Natsu, Gray, and Erza would continuously take her attention or even jump in front of me. One time, Natsu bumped into me, knocking me to the ground. He turned and glared at me, hissing "Watch it! You could have really hurt Lisanna if you walked into her". He didn't even recognize me, I could tell by the hostle look in his eyes. After that incident, I stopped trying to talk to the younger white haired girl. Sometimes I catch her sending me an apologetic look or a wave. Yet every time I wave back or smile, someone starts talking to her. I would always sit in the corner, waiting for a chance to go on a job or talk to someone.
But a week later, I knew the time wouldn't come any time soon.
I had worked up my courage to go over to my team, knowing my rent was due soon. As I walked up, I caught Lisanna's eye and she looked up with a please-don't-blame-me-I'm-sorry look. Curious, I walked up and greeted my team mates.
"Hey guys! I was hoping we could do this job. It's pay is 5,000,000 jewel and all we have to do is stop some robbers going after a museum peice." I smiled happily, slapping the paper on the wooden table.
Natsu, Gray, and Erza looked up, startled. The look in there eyes said 'who are you' before Erza said, "Oh, hey there... Lucy? We were gonna take a job with Lisanna. Sorry."
I looked at them confused. Couldn't she just come with us? Then it hit me. They didn't want me there. I felt a pang in my chest before I replied, "Of course! You probably want to catch up with her. I understand." I was glad my pain was hidden in my facade, but I was disappointed that they couldn't tell that I was hurting inside.
"A-actually, we were wondering if you could leave the team so Lisanna could join." Gray spoke up. I looked at him in shock. They... were kicking me off?
"But can't Lucy and me both be on the team?" Lisanna protested, looking desperate.
Natsu, who was sitting next to the transformation mage, flung his arm around her shioulders. I felt a squeezing sensation in my chest, but what hurt more were the words that left his mouth. "Of course not! She was just holding your place for you!"
Lisanna instantly looked at him in horror as I tried to recover from the blow. Sucking in a deep breath, I replied, bangs covering my eyes, "Very well. I can leave the team and you guys can go on happily." With that I turned away, listening as they rose from the table and exited the door. Lisanna called back an, "I'm terribly sorry Lucy-san! We'll talk when I get back."
I sent her a watery smile before walking towards the corner table I seem to personally posses. But when I got there, there were four forms seated there. Before I could even ask who they were, the smallest form came running up to me, hugging me around the middle.
"Lucy-san~!" The girl cried into my blue tank top, soaking the material.
"Wendy! What's wrong?" The blue haired twelve year old looked up with wet eyes.
"R-Romeo-kun has totally forgotten me!" Wendy sobbed as her little, well dressed cat, Carla, landed on her shoulder, looking depressed as well.
"Even male-cat has stopped trying to give me fish." Her voice sounded wistful as she settled on the the sniffling sky dragon slayer's shoulder.
Patting the cat's head in comfort, I took Wendy's hand and led her to the table, where the two other forms were chatting.
" Juvia misses he Gray-sama! He only hangs out with love rival two!" The voice, obviously Juvia's, whimpered as she cried into the worn wood of the table.
The person across from him, obviously male, growled out a response. "Shrimp hasn't even talked to me or Pantherlily since that transforming girlie came back."
Said cat popped out from under the table, sighing sadly. "No one has even seemed to notice us newbies... I kind of miss Levy petting me..."
"So, you guys have a plan?" I asked, looking from the water mage, to the exceed, to the snarling Gajeel.
"Actually, I have one." A smooth male voice spoke from behind me. I let loose a shriek as I turned around.
"Sheesh, bunny girl! It's just Jellal ya know!" The iron dragon slayer's comment reminded me that the blue haired man had joined the guild a few days after Lisanna's return, only to be greeted by the the group now meeting in the corner. Erza didn't even say anything to him when he tried to talk to her.
"Oh, sorry Jellal! I didn't mean to scare you!" I bow slightly in shame as his hand ruffles my hair.
"Don't worry, I doubt anyone noticed anyway..." He looked wistfully behind him at the boisterous guild as they talked about Lisanna.
"So, what's the plan Jellal-san?" Wendy spoke up, snuggling Pantherlily and Carla to her small chest.
"We form our own team, and, if nothing improves... We may have to leave..." At the last part he muttered, the group gasped, well, all except Gajeel, who just snorted.
"I know that none of us want to leave, but we may not have a choice." The tattooed man sighed, probably thinking about a certain scarlet haired mage.
As I mulled this over in my head, I heard the others start to agree. After a while of debating with myself, I agreed to the terms.
"Alright then," Gajeel said after Wendy finally agreed a little after me, "What are we gonna call our team."
Again the corner went silent. After a few tries of 'Gray-sama's lovers', 'Metal Eaters', and 'Cat's Claws', Wendy spoke up. "How about Team Forgotten since being forgotten is what created the team?" Murmurs of agreement spun around the table as Wendy smiled shyly.
"Alright! Team Forgotten it is!" Jellal said, messing up Wendy's hair from next to her.
"Let's go choose a job then!" I giggled, still thinking about my rent.
-Time skip-
We had just returned from our fourth job as a team. This time we had to escort a rich woman to her honeymoon in Hargeon. We each got a pay of 80,000 jewels, and I was capable of paying my rent.
As we walked up to the guild, we all lined the doors and pushed them open with a heave. As we began walking forward, we froze as we heard a yelp of pain followed by a dull thunk. Before any of us could move, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Levy, Jet, Droy, and Romeo bolted forward to confront us. As Jet and Droy picked up the firm that was lying limply on the floor to carry to the infirmary, the others started yelling.
"What's wrong with you guys!" "Why would you hit Lisanna with a door?!" "You guys are disposable!" "You should all leave!"
The other guild members jumped forward as well, yelling at us as we tried to explain it was an accident.
When our guild mates started throwing things at us, we knew they wouldn't listen, and, as we were backing up, a beer bottle was thrown full force into Wendy's head. Our team started yelling back with profanities and screams of innocence as I grabbed Wendy before she could topple to the ground. There was blood covering the left side of her young face, turning her beautiful hair purple.
As we started retreating for good, magic was thrown into the mix of thrown objects. Bisca and Alzack started shooting as us while Erza threw swords. Then, the one thing I dreaded to hear was screamed out in anger. "Fire dragon's roar!" I quickly turned around to see the attack billowing towards my new team. Passing Wendy to the worried Carla, I jumped in front of the blast, blocking the excruciating flames from my true friends. All that I remember seeing is an angry Natsu watching me burn before I passed out.
- Lisanna's POV-
I woke up with a slight head ache in the infirmary. Sitting up, I saw the worried faces of my fellow guild mates.
"What happened?" I asked, groggily rubbing my temples.
"Lucy, Jellal, Wendy, Gajeel, Juvia, Lily, and Carla attacked you when you went to leave the guild, probably waiting to ambush you." I looked at the pink haired boy with confusion.
"Why would they attack me?"
"We don't really know... Do you remember anything useful?" Erza asked, looking a little worried.
Thinking back, I tried to remember the people mentioned. Gajeel... I think that's the metal one and Lily was his cat. Jellal... The guy with the tattoo that likes Erza. Wendy was the little sky dragon slayer with the white cat Carla. Juvia was Gray's stalker. And Lucy was Natsu's partner... Before I came back. Now that I truly think about the incident, I think it was just an accident. I mean, I went to walk out the doors to head home for the day when they were abruptly pushed open, hitting my head and knocking me unconscious.
"... I could understand if they did it on purpose, since everyone started fawning over me and forgetting about them... But they didn't mean to... The door simply hit me when they entered..." I trailed off the see realization, shock, and guilt covering the three faces.
"So the master was right..." Natsu spoke, voice cracking.
"So we hurt them for nothing.." Gray added.
"We deserve to be punished severely for what we have done..." Erza choked out.
"What did you guys do to them...?" I asked carefully, knowing that something was wrong.
"We... We attacked them... And chased them out of the guild... But that's not the worst part... I... I hurt L-Lucy..." Natsu choked out the girls name like he didn't deserve to even think of the person it belonged to, let alone speak her name.
"I dropped fish and rocks all over Lily and Carla..." Happy sniffled from Natsu's shoulder, also feeling the effects of hurting the one he adored.
"And that's not all... Wendy was injured from a flying beer bottle while I froze Juvia's right arm..." Gray continued, bangs covering his eyes.
"I... I stabbed Jellal and Levy shot Gajeel with the word 'bullet'...We don even know if they survived the attack..." All I could feel was dread as I thought about what I indirectly had caused.
The door opened to reveal Levy and Romeo, both looking stricken with grief.
"We heard it all... And, we want to go find them..." Romeo looked at the ground while speaking, tears starting to fall from his eyes.
"We should make a new team," I spoke up, looking at the distraught faces. " We'll call our selves Team Finder."
And with that, the truth spread like wild fire around the guild. Fairy Tail spent five months searching for their lost nakama to no avail, before finally giving up. Team Finder continued searching with every clue they found, looking for the ones they harmed.
Okay... So if you want Lisanna with someone, please tell me! And sorry, no Nali. Remember to R&R! Thanks for reading! Swifty~
