Well, this is just a simple one-shot. It's inspired by the song, "Gift of a Friend" by Demi Lovato.
Hope you guys enjoy it!
Lucy Heartfilia lay on the ground of a valley. The grass was soft and the weather was great. It was a really nice day, if only it weren't July 7th.
She had wanted to spend the day to herself. She really wasn't in the mood to be with her friends right now. She just wants some time to think. Some time to relax. She just wants some time to just lay back and just think right now.
A lot has happened. She can tell that much. But time really flies, huh? One day she was at the Heartfilia estate living a wonderful life, the next she's with some rowdy and weird people who she calls her friends. But they weren't that bad.
Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own
To be honest, she didn't really think she'll need any help on getting into the guild of her dreams. Since she ran away, she thought that she'll be able to take care of herself and handle things on her own. She planned on just journeying around before she goes and join Fairy Tail.
Lucy had always been pampered. She was always taken care of. There was always someone to keep an eye on her or even assist her on doing the simplest things. No one trusted her to do something on her own. No one even considered if she can take care of herself. They thought that she was a fragile and innocent little girl who didn't have a clue about anything of the world outside of her father's estate.
But Lucy thought differently. She thought she can take care of herself.
But she was wrong.
You'll change inside
When you realize
When she was kidnapped by Bora who pretended to be the Salamander of Fairy Tail, Lucy wanted nothing more than to go back to the safety of her home. She had read a lot of books about people venturing around. Her books made it sound so easy. But they weren't really true. She thought that everyone was like that. That maybe people were only nice to her before because her father payed them to. At that moment, she thought that she was living in a cruel world filled with selfish people.
That is, until Natsu came in to save her.
The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
After Natsu had defeated Bora, he took Lucy and brought her to Fairy Tail. Then, once again, Lucy's point of view to the world changed. She supposed that there are some people who she can trust.
That helps you to find
The beauty you are, when you open your heart
And believe in
The Gift of a Friend
And after she joined the guild, she knew that there are still a lot of people she can trust. Everyone in the guild was so nice to her. They were really friendly and made her feel at home. In fact, it was a lot better than her previous home. Forget all the riches, the feeling of someone loving you and caring for you could beat that any day.
The Gift of a Friend...
Since she was home-schooled and was never allowed outside her father's estate, she never had any friends.
Sure, there were times when she would sneak out and try to visit her father once in a while, but she would always stay away from strangers unless it was really needed. So she didn't make any friends.
And she never really even thought that having some will be really nice.
Someone who knows when you're lost, And you're scared
There through the highs and the lows
Someone to count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you go
They supported her, and comforted her when the guild was attacked by Phantom Lord. They actually let her stay even after they found out the truth about her. That she was the daughter and heiress of a rich family. They accepted her and were there for her.

They really were the best. She can count on them, and she always made sure that they can also count on her, whether it was for personal matters like giving advice and whatnot to helping them out on jobs. She always tried to do her best in everything so she won't be called a burden.
And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground
You, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
And there's no signs leading you home
You're not alone
But sometimes she just feels like she's not working hard enough. She calls herself weak at times because she just wasn't that helpful. She was useless on missions and her magic power could never be compared to her team mates'.
The world comes to life
And everythings bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
"Hey Lucy!" a familiar voice called out to her. And the blonde shot up, only to see her team mates running towards her.
"Lucy, Where have you been?" Happy whined, on the verge of tears.
"Yeah, we've been looking all over for you." Natsu pouted.
Lucy giggled at their antics. "Oh well, I just thought it was a nice day to watch the clouds."
They all looked up to the sky. "Ah, it really is a nice day, isn't it?" Erza smiled, and so did the others.
"Anyways, we found a nice job with quite a high pay. Well, unless this idiot breaks everything." Gray said.
"What did you say, Underwear Prince!"
"You heard me, Ash Brain!"
That helps you to find
The beauty you are, when you open your heart!
And believe in
When you believe in!
When you believe in...
Lucy merely giggled at her friends' antics. Yeah, even though she wasn't physically strong, this place is where she belonged. This is her home. Fairy Tail is her home. And no matter how stupid and violent her friends here might be, she'll always accept them, not only because they've done so much for her already, because right now, she can already consider them as her family.
