Fairy tail: A year.

How could you!

Lucy Heartfillia, the ex-member of the Fairy tail guild woke up to the shining raise of the sun peeking through her curtains. She sat up in her bed yawning and stretching her arms getting ready for the day ahead.

She chuckled a bit when she saw Plue copying her stretches. After that she went and bathed and put on her make-up getting ready for her job at Sorcerers magazine, she still can't believe she came this far, at first, she was a model at the magazine but it wasn't enough she didn't want to model forever so she had to begged Jason for an opportunity to write for the magazine, she was lucky he gave her a chance and helps her write the perfect articles.

As she was reflecting she realised that they are going to watch the second to last day of the Grand Magic Games, Jason wanted her to accompany him to take notes of the fight. As she was thinking of the Grand Magic Games she started to think about how Fairy tail participated and won the games, she smiled and chuckled a bit and then looked at her guild mark on her hand but then she started to remember how Natsu fought for her and how he promised to protect her future, that smile faded as she remembers him.

She shook her head dismissing the thought of him, it just made her depressed and angry. She quickly looked at the clock on the wall and saw that she was going to be late, she quickly grabbed her bag and keys and rushed out of her apartment. She moved out of her apartment in magnolia to be closer to her job and be away from all those memories that reminded her of things she didn't want to think about.

As she left her apartment she tried to hype herself up to get her spirts up "I'm gonna do my best today too!" she exclaimed pumping her hand in the air.

As Lucy entered the stadium, she pushed her way through the crowd looking for Jason. She found him shouting his annoying catchphrase "cool, cool, cool!" at the contestants who were about to start the fight.

She walked up to him and said "Senpai! Sorry for being late! The crowd was crazy…."

Jason just turned around with a smile on his face exclaiming "Lucy! You're looking cool today, as usual!"

Lucy walked up to the railing of the arena and stood next to Jason getting her notebook and pen out ready to take notes. "Did the match already start?" Lucy asked looking down at the contestants in the arena.

"Soon, soon, but y'know, Chrisaac's probably gonna wipe the floor with the other guy. He's just that powerful." Jason said excitedly.

"Alright!Time to get us a scoop!" Lucy said enthusiastically pumping her arm in the air again and Jason just shouted "cool!" in the background.

A person came and banged a symbol to start the fight, as the fight started Lucy began to take notes but the fight didn't last as long as she thought with winner being who Jason thought it was going to be.

Lucy put her notebook and pen away as she turned to Jason and said "Okay, so I'll get the article and the layout down, so leave it to me!" and Jason just turned around and said thanks but then started to ponder.

"Hmm...But y'know, this Grand Magic Games just doesn't have that…Boom to it…Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, none of them came…"

Jason said looking up at the sky and then turned his sight to Lucy and said "Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus… And Fairy tail too…" Jason finished with a smirk on his face.

Lucy just tried to smile, holding on to her own hand as comfort and said "Well that's cause it doesn't exist anymore…" and Jason just looked at her before saying.

"But that mark on your hand…" And Lucy looked a little shocked and looked at her hand, she didn't think he noticed she still had her guild mark.

Jason just turned around and waved his hand while walking away while also saying "It's all over huh…Such a shame though…" and Lucy just looked down in content and choose not to say anymore, else she might start crying and she didn't want to do that in such a public place or at all really because if she started she wouldn't be able to stop for a while.

After that she went home and quickly wrote up the article and set out the layout of it, then decided that she wanted to take a bath. As she was getting undressed she started to think of her friends in fairy tail 'I haven't kept in touch with everyone over the past year…I've been busy, but that's just an excuse it's probably because I didn't…Want to meet them now that they've gone their own ways…But that's also a lie.' Lucy thought.

She was now in the bath tub hugging her knees "I want to see them" she whispered sinking to the water in despair.

'I do want to see them but I just don't have the courage…' She thought but then started to get frustrated at how much of a coward she was being, she started to thrash around in her bath water, shouting.

"I want to see you guys!" but then her neighbour started to shout at her through the wall saying

"Hey shut it!" and Lucy instantly calmed down giving a quite sorry.

She then got out of the bath water and went to her room while drying her hair, she then looked up at her board full of information about her guild mates. This is why she became a reporter, to gather information about everyone who went their own way. Sightings, rumours anything, she had been searching for everyone this whole time…. So, that they could all come together again.

She looked at the board and mumbled "Nothing on Natsu and Happy again, huh…" She knocked her head against the board trying to hold herself together, she slid down the wall to the floor, sitting down trying to think 'If only everyone would come back together…but what then? There is no Fairy tail'

She really missed everyone. After that she went straight to bed.

A new day stared and she did the same thing she did the day before and grabbed her bags to leave saying a quick "O…kay~ let's do this…"

The streets were filled with loud cheering but not as loud as the stadium, where everyone was going berserk with anticipation to see who will win the games once and for all. Jason was shouting another "cool, cool, cool!"

"we'll be able to write an interesting article this time, Lucy!" However, Lucy looked disinterested, staring out towards the competitors in the arena.

"Lucy? You ok" Jason asked bringing Lucy out of her thoughts.

"Ah, what were you saying?" Lucy said looking up towards Jason.

"Look…the battle is about to start!" Jason said excitedly.

However, Lucy had a different opinion "Yeah, but it's all an act" and Jason just gave an astonished "what" but before Jason could say anymore Lucy continued

"Just watch, I say they are hiding how strong they are, they are probably just doing it for the money" And just as they turned back around to watch the match it was already over with the team Lucy thought would win still standing.

Jason just shouted "cool, cool!" and the crowed was going wild but then the announcers started to exclaim "What's happening over there…There's a very fishy guy in the ring…" Everyone looked towards the arena again to see a hooded figure entering the arena.

"An intruder!" Lucy exclaimed as the hooded figure approached the winning team in silence.

Lucy was getting this feeling, it didn't feel bad but it didn't feel good either but it also felt familiar, it felt warm and inviting but she wasn't going to trust this person for a second, they looked too shady.

"Hot power!Jason quickly evacuate the people!" but before Jason could even question or act, a blast of hot air engulfed the crowed.

"so, you're Fiore's number 1 huh..." the clocked figure asked.

"who the hell are you?" one of the contestants asked

"I'm…. a challenger!" the hooded figure said as they sent out a blast of flaming fire that engulfed the arena. It was so hot that it started to melt the stadium and people's clothes. Lucy screamed and cover her chest that was starting to become exposed from the heat melting her clothes.

The hooded figure moved back from their attack and as they did their hood came off and revealed Natsu with a grin on his face.

"NATSU!" Lucy shouted in shock. And the judges also shouted "Natsu!" as well while Jason was just shouting "cool, cool" in the background.

"Heya Lucy!How've you been!" A voice said from behind her, Lucy recognised that voice, she quickly turned around and saw Happy floating behind her.

"Happy!" Lucy said with a smile on her face.

"Oh man, Natsu said he just had to come here and see the fight…" Happy said turning back to the arena to see more wizards coming to stop him.

Natsu just shouted "I'M BURING UP!" in excitement of new challengers since he had already beat the winners.

And everything started to melt even more and Happy just stated calmly "Maaan, he's over doing it again, that Natsu"

Just then Natsu looked up to the crowed and spotted Lucy up in the stands hold her chest with Happy standing next to her.

Natsu gave a giant grin and shouted "Yo, it's been such a long time, Lucy!"

And Lucy just gave a soft smile and said "How are you?"

The end
