A/N

Hey guys! This is my first fic, an idea I've had for a while and wanted to turn into a story. This will be WAAAAAAAY different from the usual 'Natsu banished from the Guild', and one of the first ones that uses a canon plot as the reason for the banishment. Soooooooo yeah, read, review if you feel like, and sorry if I actually mispelled a few words or something. Nways, good reading!

"Normal Speaking"

'Thinking'

"Dragons/ Giant beings/ a big SHUT UP"

The Sun is shining in the city of Magnolia, high in the blue sky with a few white clouds. Happiness around the streets, the entire town is as lively as it could ever be.

Strangely, Fairy Tail, the number one guild of Fiore, normally the rowdiest guild, isn't.

The reason for that is because a team of members returned from a S-Class job. Team Natsu is their unofficial name. Composed of the members Gray Fullbuster, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy and Natsu Dragneel, the founder of the team. The other members of the guild were in the sideways, in a circle, surounding the team. At the side of them stood a S-Class member called Erza Scarlet, also known as "Titania". And in front of them, stood the Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, in the bar stall with a angry scowl on his face.

"Stealing S-Class jobs, bringing an inexperienced member in it, challenging a demon..." said Makarov, his scowl deepening.

"But old man-" started Natsu.

"BUT NOTHING! BRAT, YOUR RECKLESSNESS ALMOST KILLED YOU!" shouted the old Master. Then he sighed, trying to calm himself down "I'm sorry brat, I can accept the destruction, but you almost killed yourself and your comrades just because you disrespected a rule. I'm really sorry to do this but I don't have other choice. Happy, Natsu Dragneel, you are hereby banished from Fairy Tail." He finished, at this point holding himself from crying in the front of the guild.

This left Natsu and Happy wide eyed. The whole guild let out a gasp, Lucy and Mirajane had noticieable moisture around the eyes, with Erza and Gray trying to stop from doing the same.

"Old man, that's bullshit!" shouted Gray "Deliora wasn't Natsu's fault, and I participated in the mission too! Why are only Natsu and Happy being punished?!"

"Yeah! I participated too, Master!" screeched Lucy.

"While I agree that Natsu was too irresponsible, don't you think this punishment is exagerating, Master?" replied Erza.

The whole guild was in na uproar, the members shouting their disagreements. The old Wizard Saint was trying his hardest not to cry, it was as painful to him as it was to the rest, but 'It's for the best' he tried to reason himself. Feeling stable enough to open his eyes, he roared:

"SILENCE!" the guild froze "MY DECISION IS FINAL! Natsu, Happy, you two have until tomorrow dawn to leave this town. If any of you needs me, I'll be in my Office." And with that, he jumped from the stall and goes up the stairs, locks his office and finally let the tears out.

Natsu, who along with Happy didn't speak one word after the announcement, finally turned his back towards the stall and started walking towards the guild's doors.

"...Let's pack, Happy..." it was barely a whisper, but Happy heard and followed him nonetheless. Whoever saw this scene that knows him would doubt this was the same rowdy and destructive pink haired mage who shouts with no reason at all.

"Wait, Natsu!" shouted Gray, trying to stop his best friend and rival.

"...You heard the old man, Gray. It was awesome while it lasted, but we have to go. If we don't pack quick, Master's gonna kick our asses out of Magnolia..." he said with a chuckle. "Sorry for the problems, guys..." he trailed off, finally reaching the door "...And thanks for being with me 'til the end." He finished with a sad smile, and then left, with Happy behind him.

As Natsu left , Gray fell to his knees, and the whole guild let out the tears they were holding back, even Erza, who this time was crying with both eyes, had tears in their faces.

As they reached their house, they entered and quickly started packing their own things, clothes for Natsu, a fish for Happy, and they're done. After that, they scanned their house to see if there was anything else, and saw the souvenirs from the missions. They thought about taking them but decided against it, it would only make them hurt more. Then the brother figures heard a knock on the door. When the Fire Dragon Slayer reached the door and opened, he almost teared up from what he saw.

A picture. A painting actually. The painting from the day Happy was born. He turned the painting over and on the back he saw the words that finally made him and Happy cry:

"We won't forget you!" it was written.

When they finally recovered, they didn't lock the door knowing Mira would come by later, to clean the place in respect for them. Honestly, it wasn't needed, but they were grateful anyhow.

At midnight, they were in the top of a hill, overlooking Magnolia. Natsu turned back and started walking, with his bipedal cat companion following right after.

This is only the prologue, but tell me, how did it go? Good? Okay? Bad? Why?

Honestly, I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I'm tired of fics that Natsu leaves that have horrible spelling, so I tried my best. Natsu and Happy will be stronger and smarter than canon, because this leaved a dent in them. Wendy too. Carla though? I have something planned for her. Lucy will be a little weaker than canon because it was mostly Natsu that kept her continuing getting stronger, in my point of view. This happens before Gajeel's assault, if you didn't realise. Also, there won't be any romance. There will be a crush here and there plus there's Juvia's stal-CRUSH on Gray, but otherwise I suck at romance so no.

Thanks for reading!
