I stretched as I walked to the guild. Today was a good day. I had just gotten back from a mission that I had completed successfully on my own! was worth 70000 J plus the bonus of a silver key. My magic increased ever since the Edolas trip I had gotten a lot stronger, nowhere near as strong as Natsu or Erza but strong nonetheless. My life was going good enough except for one tiny detail, the guild was ignoring me. Some people still talking to me and those people were, Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy, Master and the Levey forgot about me but I didn't mind it they're probably just all trying to catch up with the family member they once thought was dead. I mean, if my mom magically came back from the dead I would do the same thing. I was so lost I didn't realize where I was until I bumped into the door of the guildhall. sighing I braced myself for another day when nobody on team Natsu would talk to me. Pushing open the doors I yelled out

" I'm here!" Once again silent treatment until Wendy came up to me and said,

" welcome back Lucy! how is the job? are you hurt? Do you need me to heal you?" I chuckled quietly

" thanks for worrying about me, but I am completely fine how's it as you can see. also, the job was a success!" I gave her a thumbs up " I beat up the bandits real quick." when she heard this Wendy's face lit up and she reassured me that she'd be there if I was ever hurt or injured as she walked back to Happy and Carla.I smiled and walked to my favourite spot to sit down. I slumped down and then Natsu walked over.

"Hey Lucy, can I talk to you?" Natsu asked.

" sure!" I exclaimed. I was so happy that somebody from Teen outfit was talking to me again, but how was too quick to assume they start paying attention to me again.

"well, can Lisanna join our team?" he asked.

" sure, the more the merrier!" when Natsu hurt this he looked very guilty I didn't see the rest of Team Natsu walk up behind him, Plus Lisanna.

"Ummm, Lucy?" Lisanna asked "that's not what he means"

"What else could he mean?" I am very confused

"He means that they're replacing you with me" I looked around shocked. Everyone in the guild had stopped to see what was going on. Gray and Erza were staring at the floor and wouldn't look at me.

"But, why?" I whispered willing myself not to cry

"Because Lisanna is stronger than you and you always take quite a large chunk of our earnings for your rent," Gray said.

"Well then," my voice was barely a whisper "fine." I stood up and ran out of the guild before any tears could fall. I was vaguely aware of Gajeel and Wendy calling me back to the guild but I was too heartbroken to acknowledge it. I didn't know where I was running until I got there. The tree that Natsu had dug up for me when I was sick. I sank against the tree then started to cry. It was like a dam had broke, I couldn't stop crying. Then I wondered why I was so sad. When I was younger the kids at school had always kicked me out of their groups so why was I so sad? Then with a jolt, I realized.

I loved Natsu.
