Hiiii! Thanks for clicking on this story to read! This is my first story so I'm sorry if it's bad. Just so you know, I'm a 100% NaLu lover BUT, that doesn't mean I hate Lisanna. Although I don't particularly like her. This is set after the Edolas Arc. Anyways, along with the story! ~^-^~

Thoughts

Chapter 1 : Goodbye

Lucy P.V.O

I was sitting at my usual spot next to the bar, the guild was being destroyed from all the partying, like usual. Seeing Team Natsu and Lisanna engaged in a cheerful conversation. I have to say, i felt a little envious that Lisanna was there and not me, i mean, i haven't seen Erza, Gray or Natsu smile like that in quite a long time and i have to admit, i was a little hurt. *sigh* Turning around to meet the sky blue eyes of a white headed barmaid sweetly smiling.

"Hey Lucy, would you like anything?"

"Hey Mira could i have a Strawberry Milkshake?"

"Sure Lucy, just a second!"

I watch as she turns around and goes into the kitchen to make my order, returning a few minutes later while still smiling.

"Here you go Lucy"

"Thanks Mira" As i was just about to count the right amount of jewels to pay i was stopped by a sweet voice.

"Don't worry, it's on the house!" said the smiling barmaid.

"Thanks Mira but it's ok, I can pay." i thanked.

"Lucy" i flinched. "Seriously, it's fine!"

"Ah. Ok, thanks Mira!"

"Hey Mira! Two beers!" said Macao at the other side of the guild.

"Hai! Coming!" with that, the blue-eyed beauty went to fill up the beer mugs.

As she left I returned back to my solitude.

You see ever since we came back from Edolas, everyone and i quite clearly mean, EVERYONE started partying day and night, non-stop. And don't get me wrong, i'm happy that everyone is happy. I was partying too for the first few days too, but it just got too tiring. And believe me, if one of my dearest friends came back from the dead then i would be acting just like them all.

But come on! It's been almost 3 months. MONTHS! And in all those 3 MONTHS the only people that have recognised my presence and talked to me were Levy-chan, Gajeel, Wendy, Charles, Juvia, Mira and seven people out of the WHOLE guild talked and noticed me.

And you know it-

"Hey Luce!"

Huh...

I'm not hearing things am i? Because i SWEAR i just heard natsu finally talk to me!

Not taking any chances, i swing myself around to see a puff or pink hair.

"H-Hi Natsu!" i say smiling the widest i've smiled in ages.

"What's up?" i say gleefully.

"Umm, here's the thing, we-" he points to Erza and Gray behind him, then to himself, "-were wondering if Lisanna could join the team." After that i literally felt my heart shatter.

"Yeah, sure i've been wanting to talk to her" i say.

"Err, no. What flame brain here was trying to say, was that we want Lisanna to take you place." Gray said.

But before i could say anything, Erza, my beloved sister said, "Yeah, back in the day's we were going to form a team anyway, before… the incident. So it'll be like normal again, except without you in the picture."

"Also you're always complaining about your rent and everything, and we always go over-board and don't earn many of the jewels, so you could go solo for a while and get stronger."Gray said.

Are you serious? I'VE BEEN GOING SOLO FOR 3 MONTHS AND YOU ONLY SAY THIS NOW!?

"Yeah, to be fair you the weakest Luce, this could be good for you. You know, to get stronger!" Natsu says sounding so cheerful and excited to leave with his new team.

So you saying i'm weak? That's what you're saying isn't it?

Oh how i felt so angry and sad at that point, i mean, how could i not feel sad or angry, my own nakama plainly called me weak and abandoning me. Feeling the tears forming in the corner of my eyes. I tried as hard to not let them fall. "Yeah, sure, that's fine." lie

"Sweet! Jā ne!" Natsu said while having his back turned to me and walking off with the rest towards Lisanna to tell the good news with a gigantic smile. (For those who don't know, 'Jā ne' = 'see ya')

"Yeah" i mumble not to anyone in particular.

Without a second thought, i legged it up the stairs while me tears flowed down my cheek. Knocking on the door, i wipe my tears. "Come in" i quickly swung open the door and quickly closed it just as fast.

Master P.V.O

*grunt* Uhh those brats were at it AGAIN, don't they ever give me a break? I thought while reading yet another letter of complaints before i heard a soft knock on the door. Looking up from the letter to see non other than Lucy. "Why Lucy, what can i do for you?" I said before noticing Lucy's slightly red puffy eyes before quickly saying "What's wrong child?" in a concerned voice. Has she been crying? If so, why?

"Master, i wish to leave Fairy Tail" Lucy said in a slightly confident voice slowly fading by the end.

"W-what?! Why?! I-I thought you like it here!" I say with widened eyes. Something definitely happened, i just need figure out what.

"I do! I really do, but… I just need to leave. To get stronger." She says trembling while a tear escapes from her eyes. Quickly I grab a tissue from the corner of my table and hand it to her earning a soft 'thank you.'

"Tell me Lucy, what happened?" I ask while patting a chair for her to sit down. She nods while making her way to me.

~~~After telling Master what happened downstairs~~~

"Ohh my child, I'm so sorry!" How could they do that. And three months already!. How disappointed i am in all of you..

"It's alright Master it's not your fault! I mean, they're right, i am weak." Lucy said with a cracked voice.

"No you most certainly are not! You are much stronger both mentally, physically and magic wise than most people in this guild!" I said reassuringly, and i meant it!

"Thank you Master, but still, i need to leave, to train, to make sure i'm never called weak by anyone else ever again. So please." Lucy said while lifting her right hand with the Fairy Tail mark on towards me. Ohh Lucy. I wish you didn't..

"Very well my child." I say while cupping her hand with both of mine.

I close my eyes and quietly chant "Nakunatta taizai o kibō suru kata e, Aisuruhito to sono yōsei no ai o nokosu. Jibun jishin ni jibun no tamashī o tamotsu koto wa, Karera no tsubasa ga hirogatte iru toki, karera wa kaesu koto ga arimasu." When i finished i opened my eyes and took my hands away from Lucy's. Revealing the bare back of her right hand. (To know what the chant means see bottom of page)

After feeling a tear drop down my cheek, i say, "Thank you for being part of this family and i really hope that you come back soon."

"I will Mas- oh, no, Makarov. Goodbye and until so" Lucy said while shedding more tears.

After Lucy closed the door

Ohh Lucy, i wish you well. I hope you return stronger to prove the rest of those brats downstair's wrong. But i do hope you stay as yourself. With that I went back into reading the complaints.

Lucy P.V.O

As i walked down the stairs and headed towards the door, I looked at the back of my right, ohh how it felt just so, empty.

As i walked out of the doors, i whispered, "Goodbye, Fairy Tail"

(The chant : To the one that no longer wishes to stay, leaving their fairy love with the loved ones. Keeping their soul to themselves, may they return when their wings have spread.)
