Katie's POV

It's year x784, its about month left till the S-class exam. I had been in every exam since I had joined Fairy Tail. Unfortunately I never became S-Class but I had different plans for this year. I was walking through Magnolia in my usual attire, yellow dress, black shoes with low heels, my necklace which is one of the most treasured of my belongings, my cyan wavy hair was swaying in the cool breeze.

"K.K., wait up," I heard someone screaming, running to me. I didn't needed to take a look at who it was, since my best friend was the only one who called me K.K.

"Lu, how have you been? Haven't talked to you in a while," I said giving her a small, fake smile and fortunately she bought it. Its true we haven't really spoken to each other in few weeks. Its because she has taken away my crush. I had liked him even before she joined the guild but then my problem was Lisanna. I hated how this had to happen to me, especially since she is my best friend. I can't really stand to see them together, so till now I had tried to avoid either of them and till now it had been working perfectly.

*Flashback*

"Hey K.K. I have to tell you something really amazing," she said as I opened my doors to let her in. She told me that she will come by my house since she had some incredible news to tell me.

"Really? What's that? Did you get back inspiration or the novel you were writing?" I asked curious.

"Nope, something much better," she squealed while jumping on my sofa and burying her face in one of my cushions. I raised my eyebrow at her and gestured for her to start talking, while I took out two cans of soda from fridge and gave one to her.

"I finally got the courage to ask him out," she took a deep breath, "and he said yes." She squealed again and buried her face on one of my cushions again.

"Who? And when did this happened?" I asked as I already knew the answer somewhere deep inside. I hoped that I was wrong, that she wasn't talking about the same person.

"Natsu of course, we went on a date yesterday and now we're a couple," she murmured it through the cushion. I almost spilled my drink when I heard his name. My world shattered when I heard the word I hoped to never hear. It was like a nightmare, in fact I wanted it to be only a nightmare, from which I could wake up at any moment but deep down I knew it wasn't. Lucy looked up at me with worried expression on her face since I hadn't replied anything in a while.

I have to be strong, I have to play it cool, I can't let her know my feelings now, it was too late now anyway, wasn't it?. "Congratulations," I gave her my best fake smile and she smiled back, starting to tell me about yesterday, while I mentally broke down.

*Flashback end*

"Yeah, I never get to see you around lately. Is there something wrong?" she asked while panting for breath, since she had to ran pretty fast to catch up with me.

"No, of course there's not. Don't you think that you'd be the first one to know, if there would be something wrong?" I questioned her but my thoughts were completely different 'Oh, if only you knew!'

"Don't lie, I can see right through you! Remember that we are best friends from childhood and you shouldn't be hiding anything from me," Lucy scowled a bit.

"Sorry, I can't tell you the reason now. But I'm pretty sure, you'll find out that soon enough," I said as we walked inside the guild.

Lucy shrugged and waved bye to me as she run to the table where team Natsu were.

"Mira-Chan, can I get banana milkshake?" I asked sitting at the bar, to Mirajane who was cleaning some glasses.

"Ohayou, Katie-san, coming right up," she said with warm smile on her face. She went away and after a bit she came back with my order.

"Thanks," I smiled as she nodded. I started to drink my milkshake and trying to think of what should I do next.

I decided that I should head back from the guild soon, because I had to get ready to fulfill my plan tomorrow. This meant that I should start packing today. I quickly drank all the milkshake and run out of the guild, so I wouldn't be stopped by anyone.

"Why are you back home so early?" asked my roommate Dean. I didn't answer, instead I run right to my bedroom. Dean was same age as me, he had black spiky hair and blue eyes. We have lived in this house for about two years now and in about second month living together we have started to treat each other as a family.

"So what's wrong? Where are you going?" he asked while standing against the doors of my room and watching me make a mess in my room while deciding which things I'll need. I could see concern in his eyes, as he looked at me packing and also I could feel it in his voice. Well I wasn't packing too much clothes with me since I had to buy new ones if I wanted to change myself.

"I don't know yet, I'm thinking of not only leaving but changing myself also," I said after thinking for a while.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked a bit shocked.

"You know like changing my appearance and maybe a bit of my personality," I answered still without looking at him.

"Do you need any help?" he asked even though I could see the sadness in his eyes. I stood up from the floor and embraced him in a hug. Which I received back also.

"We are heading to Fairy Tail tomorrow at 7 am, then we are going to salon to change my looks and later to buy new clothes. When I'll finally will be a new person at least by appearance, I will then take my things and go travel to some other town to find a new life," I told him what I had planned for tomorrow. I saw that he didn't really like the idea of me changing my appearance but he still nodded to assure that he will be with me every step of the way. I think he did that because he knew this could be the last day we would spend together.

Dean's POV.

It was 7am and we just started to head out to Fairy Tail. On our way there, there was a silence between us. It wasn't silence that was too uncomfortable but at the same time it kind of was. In about thirty minutes we had reached her guilds entrance, luckily for us there weren't anyone in so we could easily go to Masters office without being interrogated. Katie knocked on the doors few times and we heard a small, quiet reply to come inside.

"What brings you here so early in the morning, my children?" Master of Fairy Tail asked a bit surprised when we walked in his office.

"Master, I would like to quit the guild," Katie said with serious face. Through I could see a bit of sadness mixed with tears in both Katie's and Master's eyes.

"What happed, you don't have to answer that, if you don't want to," he said sweetly, but I saw that he was hoping for some kind of explanation for her sudden decision.

"I just can't take it anymore, this pain, seeing them together all the time laughing, going on quests together," she mumbled. He looked at her sadly, it looked like he had already knew about her crush on him, but agreed to her decision. He took her left arm, the one with her insignia and put his hand on top of it. I saw a bright glow on Lucy's hand and after Master had removed his hand from hers, Katie's insignia was gone.

"I hope you'll find a good place for yourself, good friends and good life. And promise me that the next time we'll meet, that you'll be happy, maybe even with somebody that you'll be willing to protect no matter what it costs and hopefully the other way around," Master said finally letting his emotions take over him.

"Thank you very much for everything," she said going and hugged Master. "Please don't tell anyone my reason for quitting, especially to those two. I want them to be happy, I don't want them to blame themselves," she said before ending their hug and coming back to the door where I was standing. Master nodded and we walked out of his office and guild, leaving everything behind.
