Narrator POV:
Lucy was sitting, no not at the bar with Mira discussing her love life like normal, no, she was sitting at an empty table by the front of the guild. She had her head resting on her folded arms while she thought about why she was alone in the first place. (Please shoot me for being so unoriginal.) Lissana. No, she didn't hate or blame Lissana for the recent events, after all, Lissana was just catching up with her friends. The others, however, were testing her patients.
Lucy didn't hate EVERYONE, just mostly everyone. I mean, she was still noticed by Lissana, Levy, Gajeel, the exceeds, Juvia and Wendy… and sometimes Romeo, but anyway, back to the story. Levy noticed Lucy distancing herself from the rest of the guild, especially today, so she went over to sit by her friend, "Lu-chan?"
Lifting her head up, the blonde's chocolate eyes make contact with the worried eyes of her blunette buddy, "Levy-chan…"
"Are you alright, Lu-chan?" Her question was answered with a heavy sigh, Levy figured the answer out fast. As she was about to speak again, Juvia sat down with them, "Lucy-san is being ignored by everyone who was previously good friends with Lissana-san. Juvia is being ignored too. Juvia thought she could hang out with Lucy-san and Levy-san for a bit." The blonde and other blunette smiled. "Of course you can, Juvia~" Levy replied happily. Juvia smiled back. The three simply chatted for a bit, none of them in a particularly good mood at the moment. With a sigh Lucy stood up. "Well, I'm tired, I guess I'll head home…" stretching out the kinks in her back, Lucy made her way to the door, bumping into a rather tall figure. "Bunny girl?" the voice asked, seemingly concerned, after all, it was only 2, she never leaves that early.
"Ah, sorry, Gajeel…" with that, Lucy walked out the door, returning to her apartment to nap.
Gajeel, as well as the two blunettes, were confused and worried about their favourite blonde celestial mage. Gajeel made his way over to the girls, "Hey, shrimp, what's wrong with Bunny Girl?"
"She's being ignored by everyone. I guess it kinda got to her…" Wendy entered the conversation. Romeo and the exceeds also joined the group and they all began to talk about how they could cheer they're shining star up.
{WITH LUCY}
Lucy had just gotten out of the tub and dressed when she found an all too familiar dragon slayer sitting on her bed. "Natsu?" She tilted her head, obviously confused and found Gray and Erza sitting at her kitchen table, "Gray? And Erza too?" Suddenly, instead of feeling happy to see her team, she was worried. "Luce," Natsu began calmly, "Can Lissana join our team? You know, in your place?" Bam. She was right. She knew it. She knew nothing good could come out of this. Gray gave her an apologetic look that said, 'Sorry, they made me come.' She looked to Erza, who looked sternly at her. "Wh-Why?" Lucy asked sadly. "Well, you're kind of weak and Lissana could be a nice addition to Team Natsu." Lucy was about to shout and scream and yell, but she didn't. Instead, she smiled, of course it was a faked smile, but she smiled and said, "Fine…" Gray, sensing that Lucy was, in fact, greatly pained by this, managed to think up an excuse to get them all out. "Sorry, Lucy…" She shook her head and smiled again, trying to stop the tears from falling.
Lucy wept until she fell asleep. 'Tomorrow,' she thought, 'I'm going to do something… and it'll probably be stupid…'
-THE FOLLOWING MORNING-
It was roughly 2 in the morning and Lucy was wide awake and sitting outside the guild, lost in thought. Laxus was out for a walk, because early in the morning is the only time he can walk around without getting followed (stalked) by the Lightning Squad. He was passing by the guild, per the usual, and saw a familiar tup of blonde hair patiently sitting outside of it. "Lucy?"
Looking up, the celestial mage saw Laxus towering over her with a concerned look upon his usually serious face. "Lax…us…?" she asked, sleep deprived. "What're you doin' out here so late, huh?" he asked. The woman answered with a shrug, clearly unsure herself why she was here so early. Laxus, understanding (shhh) sat down next to her and looked at her, "You've been cryin', what happened?" Lucy sighed, hugging her knees, mumbling what had happened the previous evening. Listening quietly, Laxus was pissed. How could Team- no, how could just Natsu do that to her? He saw how badly it hurt her, when he asked her how she felt, she'd just smile and say she was fine and that maybe she'd join another team, or something.
Laxus was carefully planning his next move when Mira and Master walked up to the guild. 'How time flies' he thought, standing up, offering his hand to Lucy, who was ignored by Mira. Taking it gently, Lucy forced herself to smile once again and enter the guild.
[HALF AN HOUR LATER]
Lucy finally worked up the courage to talk to Mira. Walking up to said take-over mage, she took a deep breathe, "Mira? Am I really weak?" she asked weakly. Mira gasped and looked at Lucy with shock in her eyes, "L-Lucy… No, you're not. Not at all." She smiled weakly at the celestial mage, know where she was going with this. Mira hadn't been mean to Lucy, just busy talking with Lissana. "I'm thinking about leaving the guild for a bit, Mira." Lucy said plainly. Mira winced, though she saw it coming, she never thought the blonde would actually consider it. "O-Oh? Why?" Mira asked, afraid of her answer. "Natsu… called me weak…" Mira gasped again, except it sounded more vicious, "I'm thinking about training-"
"That's bullshit, Lucy" Laxus cut her off, "you're the strongest Celestial wizard I've ever met." Lucy sighed and rested her head on the bar, "You can't make me change my mind, I'm going to talk to Master now…" she said, standing up.
Mira sobbed watching her walk away, Laxus sighed sadly as he knew this would be the last time he saw her for a while.
