..:Lucy's P.O.V.:.. It has been three months. Three months since Lisanna came ''back from the dead''. Three months since everyone forget my existence. Even the master forget about me. It was a horribly depressing. I sighed, at least my spirits still respected and liked me, right? "Open! Gate of the Canis Minor, Nikora!" I opened Plue's gate.

Instead of the kawaii little ''puppy'' popping out, a note did. Dear Lucy, We spirits are going on a vacation, so don't bother summoning us. It's pointless having contracts with you when all you do is screw up everything. So don't summon any of us for a couple months. Aquarius, Plue, Sagittarius, Aries (Gomenesai Lucy-sama!), Virgo, Capricorn, Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus (I still love your body!), Gemi and Mini, Loke, Hologrium, Lyra, Crux, and Pyxis.

I wanted to cry. Not even my spirits respected me anymore. I reached for my Fleuve d'étoiles, remembering Virgo when she gave me it. Were they affected by Lisanna too? That couldn't be possible! They didn't even know Lisanna! Well... At least, not that I know of. "Yo Luce!" I heard Natsu call my name. My heart raced. After three months, he finally calls my name! I was so happy! '

'Yes?" I answered.

"We're kicking you off the team. Because you're weak, pathetic, and always asking us to save you. We're replacing you with Lisanna." he deadpanned. '

''N-Nani...?" I whispered.

"G..Gomenesai, Lucy-san!" Lisanna cried, "I-I want you on the team too!"

"Why do we need her on the team, she's dead weight!" Natsu asked, confused, and dragged Lisanna away to go on a job.

A tear slipped out of my eye, then another. Until I was full out crying. Nothing was going right. My spirits had abandoned me, and so had my ''nakama''. I quietly made my way to the master's office. I pushed the door open, and watched the old man crunch in numbers in a calculator, calculating how much it would cost to repair the buildings Team Natsu had destroyed a few months ago.

"Oh, hello! Are you here to join Fairy Tail?" he grinned.

"No. It's me. Lucy." I mumbled, my hair shadowing my face.

"Lucy? Lucy...Oh! Lucy! Hi, what do you need?''

''I wish to leave Fairy Tail." I stated.

He was silent, "I know why. And I regret it."

''Everyone knew Lisanna before me. So I guess it's understandable." I said softly. '

'Give me your hand." he said.

I gave my hand to him, and watched as he murmured a few words, and a bright glow was emitted from the pink Fairy Tail guild mark on my hand. Then, it was gone. Leaving nothing on my hand. I sighed, and left the old man alone. For once,I truly felt, upset. This whole time, I was hoping for anyone, even some random person to acknowledge my presence.

I left the guild hall, and into my apartment. I took a hot bath, and then laid there on my bed. I hated this. Why did they kick me out? Why? I don't understand... I closed my eyes, and drifted off into a murky, dreamless sleep.

~Next Day~

I woke up to the rain beating the windows, and lightning flashing in the sky. I groaned, and put on my shirt with the blue cross on it, with a a navy skirt, then I attached my key pouch and Fleuve d'étoiles onto my belt. I tied a blue ribbon in my hair, and pulled on my black boots. I started to pack a bag full of clothes, a blanket, and food. I made up my mind. I was going to get stronger, and this stupid rain will not get in my way! I slung it over my shoulder, and payed this month's rent, and then left for the train.

By the time I got to the train station, it was closed! Because the railroad was apparently broken. I fumed, and started to walk through the woods aimlessly, looking for somewhere to train. The rain poured down harder, until I was completely soaked. I sighed, and kept walking. Until I saw two caves near a stream. I sprinted towards the one on the left, and sighed in relief as it was dry, and bear free. '

''Who's there?"

I jolted upwards at the sound of somebody's voice. Standing a few feet away from me, was a woman with light brown eyes, brown hair, and a caramel colored kimono on.

''E-Erm.. I'm sorry! It was raining and I didn't know what to do-''

She laughed, ''It's fine. I sensed a great amount of magic power and decided to investigate.''

''I'm Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia.''

''I'm Memoria, the Time Dragon.''

...

...

...

''Dragon?!" I screamed.

She let out a low, nervous chuckle, ''Yeah.."

"I..I know this might seem really... stupid.. but, could you train me? I-I was called weak by my ''friends'', and kicked out of my team. I left to become stronger." I mumbled.

Her eyes became stormy and sad, ''Yes. I will. I have another student who-"

"Memoria! Where the hell did you- Who the hell is she?" A girl with blonde hair, and greenish-gold eyes stepped out. She wore a light creme colored vest over a white tank top, white shorts, and caramel sneakers.

"She, is going to be your peer. I will be teaching her Arc of Time and Time Dragon Slayer magic." Memoria explained.

The girl narrowed her eyes at me, "That blonde bimbo? She looks weak and pathetic."

My hair shadowed my face. Weak and pathetic.

''H-hey! I'm sorry.. it's just.."

"I get it. I know I'm weak and pathetic." I murmured, ''That's why I ran away to get stronger." I looked up with anger flaring in my eyes, "To prove those who called me weak wrong!"

The girl looked a little impressed, "Memoria. You finally found me a worthy peer."

"I know, Shizumi. I know."
