I don't own Fairy Tail…

Lucy was sitting in her usual spot at the bar waiting on her friends to show up. She had her head resting on the bar and looked up when Mira sat down a drink in front of her, "Thanks Mira." Lucy said then took a big drink.

"You ok, Lucy?" Mira asked giving the blonde a smile.

"Yeah, I'm ok. I just really need to go on a job so I can pay my rent, but the only ones that are posted are fighting ones, so I am waiting on Natsu or Gray to show up to see if they will go with me." Lucy explained to the barmaid.

Mira went to reply when the doors where kicked open and in walked Team Natsu plus Lisanna. Lucy smiled and waved at them and got up and walked over to them, "Hi guys!" she said with a bright smile and another little wave, "do you want to go on a mission with me?"

Natsu smiled along with Gray and Erza, "Of course, Luce. We will all go on one with you." Natsu said.

Lucy smiled and said great and they all went over to the mission board to pick out a mission. "How about this one?" Lucy asked holding up a flyer to take down a dark guild. Everyone nodded their heads and Lucy took the flyer to Mira to get it approved. Once Mira approved the job she went back over to her team, "We can leave in the morning at 8."

Everyone agreed to meet the next morning to go do the job. Lucy left shortly after that to go home and pack. She packed everything that she thought that might be helpful in taking down a dark guild, and she made sure she had plenty of first aid supplies for everyone in her team, for a couple of day, even though they would probably be back tomorrow night. By the time she was finished it was after nine at night and Lucy decided to call it a night and slipped into her bed.

The next morning Lucy woke up to the blaring of her alarm clock, she bolted up searching for the offending noise, then spotting it sitting on her desk, she rushed to turn it off. She did some simple stretches to loosen up her body and walked into the bathroom to get ready. She had about an hour until she had to meet her team at the train station so she hurriedly took her time showering. Once she felt like she was nice and clean and ready to start her day, she got out and dried off. She walked to her bedroom and put on the outfit that she had set out last night, a pair of black short shorts, and a pink tank top, her and boots. Then she put her hair up and some makeup on and was ready to go.

Her walk to the train station was very peaceful, and by the time she made it there she was in such a good mood that she didn't think anything could ruin it. She brushed her hand over her keys checking the time, 7:58, the train was leaving at 8:05. She went and bought everyone a ticket, knowing that they wouldn't show up until the last possible moment, with just enough time to shove Erza's mountain of clothes into a car and run to jump on the train.

The train pulled in right on time at 8, and her team still wasn't there. She was starting to get worried. At exactly 8:05 the train whistle blew and started to pull away. To say she was upset and worried would be an understatement. She walked away to the ticket lady and explained to her what happened and the lady agreed to extend the tickets for the next train that leaves the station at noon, but if they didn't show up then, there was nothing that she could do because the tickets are nonrefundable. Lucy thanked the lady and hurried away, she was going to go find her team.

Lucys POV

I started by going to Natsu house since it was the closest to where I was at. I'm hoping to find him still asleep, and he just forgot. I made it to his house and everything looks the same. I walked up to his door, there was a sign that said, "Be back in a few days went on a job. Natsu," He always left a note for people to know. Now I'm really worried. I hurriedly left Natsu's going to Fairy Hills where Erza and Gray's apartments were. First I stopped at Erza's, since hers was on the first floor. And she too had a note on her door. What worries me is that Erza usually on leaves notes if she was going on a mission by herself.

Erza's note said;

Lucy,

I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. I'm tired of pulling your weight while we are out on missions. You are here by kicked out of Team Natsu and the real Team Natsu went on the mission. We left last night.

Good BYE,

Erza.

I tried to hold back the tears and sobs, but it didn't make a difference they still came out. She run to the stairs at the end of the hall and then slowly started to climb them. Every step was making her heart hurt more. I am really hoping that I find Gray, my brother, in his apartment and no note.

I finally made it to the second floor and started walking towards Grays apartment, the middle door, 4 doors down from the stairs she just came up. And her heart sank further, there was another note taped to Grays door.

Crying softly I reached up and grabbed the note.

It read;

Luce,

I'm so sorry! I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen to me. I told them that if they kicked you out I was leaving too, and Erza tried to beat me up. I agreed to go on this mission for you. I know that you need the money to pay your rent, so I will give you my share of the reward when I get back. Then, you and I, can start doing missions together, well as mush as Juvia allows us to. I love you Luce, You're the sister I always wanted. See you when I get back little sis.

Love your Brother,

Gray

I was crying so hard now, but I was somewhat happy that at least I would still have Gray, her big brother. I fell down to my knees outside Grays apartment and cried some more.

I cried for a while, I'm not even sure how long it was, until I felt someone's hand softly placed on my shoulder. I turned around a little and looked up at the person with watery eyes. I couldn't even tell who they were, that is until they spoke. "Lucy whats wrong?" Bixlow asked as he kneeled down beside her. I didn't even think about what I was doing, I just saw someone who stopped to help me and I needed the comfort. I threw my arms around his middle burying my face into his chest, and continued to cry as he wrapped his arms around me in a hug and just held me as I cried. After a few minutes I felt him shift and then he pulled me into his lap and continued to hold me.

Bixlow POV

After about twenty minutes of sitting there holding Lucy, she was still crying, although, it was much softer now more like sniffles. "Lucy?" I asked and when she looked up at me, I went on, "what's wrong?" She shook her head and laid it back against my shoulder, "Lucy, please talk to me." She still didn't answer me, she did, however, raise her hands so I could see the papers in them. "You want me to read them?" she nodded her head, so I grabbed the papers.

I read the letters from her team, and let's just say I'm beyond pissed. How could they think this sexy ass women was weak? I mean, fuck, she beat me at Fantasia, and he wasn't going easy on her either. I wrapped my arms around her tighter. "They're wrong Lucy." I said softly to her. She finally stopped crying. "You want to go with me to the guild? I'll buy you your favorite drink."

She sat up and nodded her head at me, "Can we go somewhere so I can clean up a little bit first?" I smiled at her and nodded my head, since she couldn't see my smile. I sat her down beside me and stood up, I offered her my hand and she hesitantly grabbed on to it, so I could pull her up. Then I turned us around and walked towards my apartment.

"Where are we going?" she asks. "My apartment its right here," I said as I walked to a door two doors down from the Ice Make Mage.

I led her to the bathroom then moved to the living room to sit on the couch and wait for her to be done. I still had the notes from her so called friends and was planning on showing them to the rest of the Thunder God Tribe when we got to the guild, along with Luxus and Mira. I know from Fried that Mira was extremely protective of Lucy and considered her to be another little sister, and Luxus, well he didn't know why but he knew that Luxus has been watching her a lot lately. Not to mention he was the leader of our Tribe so I had to show him.

The bathroom door opened drawing me out of my thoughts and I stood up and walked to the door. "Ready" I asked. She slowly nodded her head and walked with me out the door. Right before I closed the door I yelled, "Babies!" and my babies came flying out of the bedroom. I noticed Lucy jump when I yelled but other than that she stayed quiet. "Let's go, Cosplayer Queen!" I said and draped my arm over her shoulder. My babies, quoting me say, "Cosplayer Queen," a few times. Lucy smiled a little and rolled her eyes, but made no move to hit me or to move my arm.

Ok everyone let me know what you think. I already have the next chapter wrote so I might posted it later today if I get it typed up. Or it might be tomorrow.
