Hi guys, I had this idea in my head for a while and was thinking about writing it then not writing it so I decided that I would just get over it and write it any ways. Some people will like it and some people won't but that's the case with everything so I might as well see the reviews to this one. I don't even know how this idea got into my head but it sounds like it is interesting (at least I hope). Love you Bye xx
Lucy looked over at the table she used to sit everyday with her friends and nakama, the table where most of Lucy's close friends sat. Erza, Gray, Natsu, Happy and Lisana. Yes, ever since Lisana came 'back from the dead' she's been getting all the attention and usually that would be a good thing for Lucy as the spotlight reminds her of her past. But when it meant that most of her friends she trusted and loved had abandoned her for a girl she didn't know past her name, it hurt. It hurt a lot.
Lucy would only ever talk to Mira, Levy, Wendy, Carla, Master, Gajeel and surprisingly the Thunder God Tribe. Lucy still thought that it was only to get in Mira's good books for something he had done before. All of Lucy's spirits had become closer to her as well and even Aquarius had finally gotten over whatever grudge she held against Lucy and became more like a strict mother towards Lucy. Virgo had begun to show some emotions around her, Loke had stopped flirting and was more protective if she ever met a guy out in town, Taurus had lessened on the comments but there were still one or two but he knew when it was okay to say them and when it wasn't so it was fine. Cancer was always wanting to do her hair and made threatening movements with his pincers towards Lucy's old group of friends.
Sagittarius was almost the same but more over-protective when it came to Lucy and the people around her. Aries had tried her best to come out of her shell and she had stopped apologising around Lucy and her fellow spirits. Crux hadn't changed as he was always protective of her to begin with, he just didn't show it. Scorpio was becoming more and more like Lucy's personal Gildarts and she felt like Cana, ever since he saw Aquarius being like her mother, he decided that it was his job to step into the 'dad' role. Although he was rivalled in that role by Capricorn since he felt that he should be the one to be Lucy's father figure since he was a spirit from her mother.
Even though she tried to tell them that they could both be her father figures in her life, they weren't having it and there was now a slight tension between them and whenever they were both out at the same time they would glare at each other and try moving closer to Lucy out of habit. Gemini were now like Lucy's little brother and sister, they were protective of her but they thought the best way to make Lucy feel better was by comforting her and playing games with her instead of threatening everyone in sight.
Horologium didn't really change much but every time he came out, he would try to keep her stuck behind the glass to 'protect' her. Lyra had become the overprotective big sister and was keep trying to force Lucy to learn how to play the harp. Plue was just the same as before, he was the perfect cuddle companion and would always hug her as soon as he was summoned. Finally, Pyxis, didn't really change much either but had is annoying habit of pecking people who he thought were too close to Lucy that he didn't trust. Although, it was hilarious to see Gajeel get pecked and him have to do nothing if he didn't want Lucy to get upset.
Lucy was brought out of her wandering thoughts by the sound of Mira setting down Lucy's glass of strawberry milkshake on the bar in front of her. This was now where Lucy spent most of her time, if she wasn't over sitting with Levy, Gajeel, Wendy and Carla. She thanked Mira and was about to move to sit with said friends before taking a glance at the request board and remember wrong her upcoming rent. Cursing, she walked over to the board and skimmed the jobs before picking the 'perfect' job. The reward was 300,000 jewels and that would be able to pay for four months rent with 20,000 left over. Though, Lucy would probably pay three months rent and have 90,000 left over.
The job was fairly difficult, she had to take down three Wyverns that were living in the forest nearby the town and terrorising the villagers. Before the abandonment, Lucy would never have even thought about taking the job but when she was left behind, she made a promise to get stronger. So, everyday she summoned both Loke and Capricorn to help train her. Capricorn was happy that she had finally taken his advice on training and Loke was fine with it because he got to spend more time with his Princess. Somewhere along the line, Master had found out what she was doing for four hours eveyday and had forced Laxus into training her as well.
Lucy was sure that she was going to die at the hands of Laxus but he turned out to be a pretty good teacher and he helped way more than Loke and Capricorn (not that she would ever tell them that). Laxus even taught her some lightning spells that she could use if she didn't have her keys with her. Lucy had told both Levy and Wendy what she was doing and bothe decided to help her as well. Wendy taught her some spells and tricks to manipulate the wind and ai around her while Levy wanted to be trained as well but only by Wendy.
After an agonising and torturous five months of hard work, Lucy was now six times stronger than what she was before and had a lot of power. Laxus even told her that she could beat up Natsu and Erza together. Lucy didn't believe him but when Garjeel forces her to fight him, it was over in three minutes with Lucy being the winner and Gajeel walking back to his table with a big hit to his ego and his body. Lucy was so happy, she even had the courage to hug Laxus. She froze but he just tapped on the head four times which made her relax again.
Anyway, Lucy now found herself with a request in her left hand and a train ticket to Laceton (random name) in her right hand. She was excited to see how this job would go, she had only ever been up against one Wyveen and that ended horribly and she couldn't move properly for three days. Hopefully this time it would go better, Lucy thought. Lucy summoned Plue to keep her company and in ten minutes, the soothing motions of the train made Lucy's eyes slowly shut until heavy breathing was the only thing heard from her carriage.
