Lucy's POV
I woke up and stretched. No Natsu, thank goodness. I ran to the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth. Then I ran back into the room. I had taken a bet from Cana to wear a different style, so I wore a loose white shirt with purple sweats. I put my hair in a low ponytail and opened the door. I almost tripped over a box, but caught myself in time. I opened it and inside was a silver and red tiger-striped bracelet. I put it on and walked back inside, leaving the empty box outside. Something felt wrong, but I ignored it.
"Open, gate of the lion, Leo!" I shouted. My voice seemed deeper. Do I have a cold? I popped a cough drop into my mouth as Loke appeared. He was bowing, and he waved another "I love Lucy" flag, much to my embarrassment.
"Hello, Prin—" he paused, staring at me in shock. "Where is Lucy Heartfelia?" he asked angrily.
"I'm Lucy!" I help up my right hand, expecting to see my pink Fairy Tail mark, but there was none. Seeing as that didn't work, I recalled the day I saved him from death, and he nodded in acknowledgement.
"Okay, I know it's you now, but what happened?"
"What do you mean? Do I have a sickness or something?"
"Well," he gestured towards me, "how should I put this…"
"Just say it, Loke!"
"You're a boy, Princess."
"WHAT?!"
In the North Pole…
"WHAT?!"
"What was that?" an eskimo said.
"No idea. Let's keep moving."
At Fairy Tail…
"WHAT?!"
"Huh?"
"Nothing," Cana reassured. And the brawl resumed.
Back to Lucy…
I paced back and forth. "What are they gonna say? I can't stay here! What if the press comes? What if Team Natsu wants to go on a mission? Even worse, what if—"
"CALM DOWN!" Loke yelled. I obliged. "We'll dye your hair, give you contact and a new scent, and buy you some new magic. It'll be okay." I sighed.
"You're right. Open, gate of the crab, Caner!' He appeared in a burst of light. "I need black hair dye, okay? And ask Virgo to grab some purple contacts, please."
"Okay—ebi." Seconds later he reappeared, fixed my hair and put the contacts in. "Like it—ebi?"
"Yes, thanks."
"What about a name?" Loke reminded me. We brainstormed for a few minutes until I realized something.
"Wait! With black hair, purple eyes, I'm like that character what's-his-name from one of my stories! Oh yeah… Kenãro Sethma! Now I need a scent and clothes! And magic!" We went to a few stores where I bought blue raspberry perfume, cologne, conditioner, and shampoo. Next, I replaced my heart-shaped earrings with stubs. Lastly, I went to a magic shop. I wanted to get multiple types of magic. I used some magic jewels Virgo got. They were enchanted to only be used for magic items. I headed in, where a woman with curly orange hair and thick glasses was sitting at the counter.
"What magic items do you have?"
"Well, here's a book of magic spells. One of a kind, really. And I have some cards that summon magical beings. When you summon them, their descriptions will appear. And lastly we have some rings that, after I while, mold into your skin, making it no longer a Holder magic, instead it's a Caster magic. You can use those spells. Once you unlock all of them, there's supposed to be another on your other wrist that lets you control the elements. So, what will you have?" To her surprise and my pleasure, I bought all of them, then summoned Plue and walked home. I wrote a letter to Fairy Tail, then took my stuff out of the apartment, and told Capricorn to talk to the landlady and drop my letter off. Lastly, I headed towards the woods in Clover, and built a cabin with the help of my spirits, and started my training for my new body. Might as well use this extra time that I have in hiding useful.
3 hours later…
"Okay," Loke said," as a man, you have to be good at melee combat, so that's what we'll start with. Now give me your best punch." I did and he blocked easily. "Try again, and this time, curl your fists like this and fake as many times as you need." I did ti again, and he blocked, but not as well. "Good. Keep doing this…" This happened with kicking, knee-thrusting, sidestepping blocking, etc. until I had bruises everywhere. "Okay, we're done." I collapsed on the ground. "But tomorrow, you're waking up at sunrise for a job." I groaned and rolled over. I could hear Virgo appearing, and she set up a tent.
Nobody's POV
The next morning
Loke was determined to get Kenãro some muscles, so they set out for a 5 mile job into the nearest village. Once they got there, they laid down by the fountain, panting, and had crêpes. They bought more food and supplies, then jogged back, Loke making Kenãro to carry the bags on his back. Then Kenãro took a bath in the brook. When he was done he took a nap, only to be woken up 15 minutes later. He did weights with his spirits. From then on, this was his schedule:

Sunday Sleep, Jog, Mafic, Nap, Job (work at the village), Lunch, Free time, Read Magic Book, Dinner, Sprint, Sleep.

For magic, they started with the rings. He wore them all the time, rain or shine, dawn or dusk. The first diamond that turned a color turned purple, and it would let her both teleport and re-equip. He then trained with weapons too.
At Fairy Tail…
Mira wasd handing Cana another barrel when…
"Minna! Minna! Lucy's gone!" Natsu shouted. Laxus's chair squealed as he stood up.
"What? What happened?" Levy asked with worry.
"Read this." Natsu handed Mira the first letter and read it aloud.
"Due to unfortunate circumstances, I will temporarily be leaving. Do not follow me. I will send letters weekly. I will see you as soon as possible. Love, Lucy Heartfelia." Gajeel walked over and sniffed the card.
"Well, it smells like Bunny Gril, but there's another scent… blue raspberry men's cologne."
"Has Lucy found her soul mate?!" Mira squealed, oblivious to the many growls and stiffening figures of many male figures of the guild.
"No, it says 'unfortunate circumstances," Levy reminded her.
"That means she could be in danger! I'm going after her!" Gray and Natsu both shouted, and ran off. The rest of the guild followed them, either to stop them or to help them, other than Master and Mavis.
"Well, I wonder what's next…" Mavis mused.
