This just came to me while I was putting away dishes! It's gonna have that cliché 'Lisanna comes back and everyone ignored Lucy and then she leaves and suddenly everyone is sad about it when they figure it out' type of thing, but it's gonna be my way! You see the summary. I like it! Please R&R! No flames and all that jazz! Also, I am writing this, I am also reading Chapter 301 of the manga about Acnologia. Weird….

Prologue

I am not who I say I am. I am not that weak Lucy Heartfilia. I am not that celestial mage you all know me for. I am the princess of the Dragon Realm. I am Acnologia's daughter. I am the Dragon Slayer of all. I am the best at Dark Dragon Slaying. I am Adrianna Fury. And I am back to take my throne.

I am not Lucy Heartfilia. Far from that girl I play. True, I am born of Layla Heartfilia. But 'Lucy Heartfilia' is the name Jude gave me and what my mother came up with for an alias. I am the daughter of Layla Fury, and Acnologia, and my name is Adrianna Fury. But my personality is true.

I do love my celestial spirits, because that is how I treat friends at the Dragon Palace. They are servants, but they are my friends. I am kind-hearted and very sensitive if it comes to close friends. But I am not weak. I can most likely defeat Erza and Mira and Laxus. I could defeat Master. I could have stopped Laxus in his insanity for power, but that would blow my cover. I was told never to tell anyone. I am also not the goodie-goodie you all play me for. I am a prankster and a trickster. I am sly and cunning. I have anger issues that I have learned to control. (So they're not anger issues anymore)

Now, I am almost of age for the throne. 17. I had no intention of leaving Fairy Tail. But times change, and Lisanna came back from Edolas.

She's a sweet girl, really! I caught her trying to talk to me or remind someone of me, but they just cut her off. So I was on the verge of breaking down, because these were my close friends ignoring me! Even Levy! Only Wendy, Juvia, and occasionally Gajeel talk to me, but Gajeel is always with Levy. Juvia doesn't stalk Gray that much anymore to make sure I'm okay but she still stalks him. She still thinks I'm her 'love rival'. Of course, the exceeds, minus Happy, talk to me as well.

And then Team Natsu decided to talk to me a year later. And everyone was still partying.

"Hey Lucy!" Gray called. "We wanna ask if you could… err…"

"We wanna know if you're okay with leaving the team for a while," Erza cut in. "You need to get stronger, anyways."

"Yeah!" Natsu butted in. "We always have to save you and stuff!"

"I-is this true?" I asked. Erza looked down.

"Well… yeah…" Gray said. I noticed Lisanna looked shocked and disappointed. I knew what she was thinking from her expression. Are they really saying that to nakama? (A/N Lisanna is gonna be nice! Not a lunatic! And yes, Lisanna is really thinking that)

I knew I was playing it on as weak, but I didn't know I was acting THAT weak! And you don't just straight out TELL nakama that it's annoying that they have to save you and that you're weak! You just say 'I think you could get even stronger than you are now!' They don't understand how tiring it is to summon spirits. If you're not me, of course.

However, on the outside, I smiled and blinked away tears that were threatening to come.

"Sure," I said. "I'll leave the team for a while." Team Natsu smiled gratefully.

"Thanks Lucy!" Natsu said, grabbing Lisanna's hand and dragging her away. I saw Lisanna go back and mouth 'I am so sorry.' I just smiled sadly back at her and mouth back 'It's okay.'

"Lucy?" I heard Wendy ask timidly beside me. I turned to her and smiled sadly.

"Yes, Wendy?" I said.

"Are you okay?" Wendy asked. I shook my head.

"No," I answered honestly. "Can you ask Mira where Master is? I have a feeling she won't notice me." Wendy seemed to realize what I was doing and nodded with a sad look on her face. She ran off to the bar to ask Mira then told me that Master was in his office. I thanked her and walked upstairs to Master's office.

"Master," I called softly, knocking on the door. I heard a 'Come in!' and walked into his office.

"Master, I would like to quit Fairy Tail," I said when he looked up.

"Why, child?" Master asked.

"Everyone ignores me," I said softly. "Not even Levy notices my presence. I talk to Wendy and Juvia most of the time. I know Gajeel notices my presence, but he's always with Levy." Master sighed and mumbled something that sounded like 'what has this guild come to?'

"Alright, my child," Master said. "I'll be taking your guild mark. Will you return?" He took my hand and waved his hand over mine, then the mark was gone.

"I don't know Master," I said. "Maybe in a couple years time."

"Where will you go?" Master asked. I thought about that. I couldn't tell anyone I was coming of age to take over the Dragon Throne.

"To train and get stronger," I partially lied. It's true that the dragons will train me to get stronger. But not because I'm weak. I just haven't mastered all the magic they can teach me yet.

"Alright," Master sighed.

"I'll be back tomorrow to give you a letter. One will be to Fairy Tail, one to Team Natsu, and one to Wendy, Juvia, Gajeel, and Carla and Pantherlily." With that I walked out of the office and up to Wendy and Juvia.

"I'm leaving the guild," I whispered to them. "I'm giving you guys and Gajeel a letter tomorrow, as long as a letter to Fairy Tail and Team Natsu." Juvia and Wendy burst into tears, but they stayed strong. But I'm pretty sure it was raining outside.

~~~~~LINE BREAK!~~~~~

The next day, I walked into Fairy Tail unnoticed, as usual. I had cried myself to sleep, but now I was fine. Today I wore a black sleeveless glove over the hand that used to have my Fairy Tail mark. Just in case anybody just happened to notice me today. (Though I doubt it) I walked into Master's office and silently handed him the letters.

"Don't let anyone except Wendy, Juvia, and Gajeel read their letters until they notice that I'm gone." Then I left to the place for me to open a portal to the Dragon Realm.

~~~~~LINE BREAK~~~~~

After 'Lucy' left, Master called out from his office, "Wendy, Juvia, Gajeel, Pantherlily, and Carla please come to my office!" Natsu snickered as Gajeel walked with Wendy and Juvia.

"Ironhead must have gotten in trouble," Natsu said. Gajeel glared.

In Master's office, he gave them Lucy's letter. It read:

Dear Wendy, Juvia, Gajeel, Pantherlily, and Carla,

I am so sorry for leaving, but I know you understand why I left. Please don't blame Lisanna. I can tell she didn't want me to so lonely. Please don't tell anyone this, but I'm not Lucy Heartfilia. She doesn't exist. That's just an alias that my mother, who is actually Layla Fury who married Jude Heartfilia, gave me. My real name is Adrianna Fury and I'm actually the daughter of Acnologia. Dad's not evil, just misunderstood. I am the princess of the Dragon Realm and I'm gonna be of age to take over the throne on my 18th birthday, July 1st. I have black hair as well, not blonde.

Wendy: Please don't blame yourself and be happy because you did nothing wrong. You were there for me through everything that's been going on lately. You were like a little sister to me. If I return, no, when I return, I might be able to show you Grandeeney.

Carla: Please take care of Wendy and give Happy a chance. He really loves you and I don't really see why you won't try to acknowledge his gestures. And don't scold people too much please. Also, please keep everyone in line.

Juvia: Don't cause too much rain when you're sad. You are much like a sister to me as well and I give you good luck on Gray! I am not your love rival because I have no feelings for Gray.

Gajeel: I know you noticed me when I was in the guild, but I also know that you want to spend time with Levy. Good luck with her as well! You are sorta like a brother and it's kinda akward for me to write this. I will probably show you Metalicana when I came back as well.

Pantherlily: Please keep Gajeel in line. He is like Natsu and he destroys things a lot. But try to lay back as well. You're too serious sometimes.

With love to my TRUE nakamas,

Adrianna Fury

Lucy Heartfilia

Princess of the Dragon Realm

P.S. Don't tell Natsu, but the dragons were called back to the Dragon Realm on July 7, X777 when my mother died to make sure their world didn't fall apart.

By the end of the letter, Wendy was crying but smiling about the dragons. Juvia was causing a storm outside. Gajeel was muttering about the dragons and Lucy, or Adrianna's, secret. The exceeds were watching the three sadly.

The five walked sadly downstairs and Gajeel picked a fight with Natsu but didn't tell why.

~~~~~Line Break!~~~~~

Adrianna stopped walking in the heart of the forest her mother left her on the island her mother left her. In that heart was a beautiful waterfall pouring into a lake. A shimmer of a rainbow shone across the lake. Fish gathered around in the water. Beautiful spring flowers bloomed colors from purple to blue. A cave lied hidden behind the water and Adrianna walked inside it.

The cave looked plain, but at the back wall was a picture. A six year old Adrianna was in the arms of her mother, Layla, and lots of the dragons gathered behind them. They all looked happy and carefree. The palace was barely seen.

Adrianna began chanting before the large photo.

"O Galis, keeper of the Gates

Heed my call and answer my wishes

My name is Adrianna Fury

I am the daughter of Acnologia

Allow me to enter the Dragon Realm

And take my throne!" In that moment, a blinding yellow light revolved around Adrianna. Her hair turned blacker than night and down to her waist. Then she was gone. And she returned to the Dragon Realm.

"Welcome back, Princess Adrianna."
