Hey guys! long time no read aye? lately I've been reading a lot of stories of Lucy getting kicked off of team Natsu, and thought 'Maybe i should try one?' so i did and even though i have made it from a similar story line to other stories that have been published i thought i should make mine as unique as possible. I think it's kinda cool with the way the story has turned out so far, but you guys may have different opinion so please tell me if anything is wrong. I would also like to thank you guys for taking the time to read my story, I personally am one of the worst writers you could come across so please take it easy on me. :)

I don't own Fairy Tail

Three months before the Grand Magic Games:

Lucy's P.O.V:

Sitting at the bar just receiving some vanilla yoghurt from Mira and thought 'It's nice to know that I am still able to talk to someone'. Picking up a glass and polishing Mira walks up to me "Hey Lucy it's nice to see your taking a break" I chuckled and looked up to Mira and smiled "I only just stopped for something to snack on quickly, I'm going to go on a couple of missions after this" in return she only gave me a worried expression "Lucy you shouldn't over exert yourself, make sure you get enough rest" I continue to smile at Mira "Thanks for your concern Mira it really is appreciated, it feels nice to know someone is still here for me" she gave me a warm smile in returned "any time Lucy, but please make sure you take a rest and take care of yourself" my smile brightened "I will" finishing cleaning a couple of glasses Mira grabs another and asked "So ... Lucy any new Goss? Preferably the subject of Love?" I chuckle "If I had loved someone I'm sure you would be the first to know..." 'I swear nothing goes past her ears or keen senses...even if I tried to hide it should would've gotten it out of me already or would have known about it already' "I bought my apartment so I wouldn't have to worry about rent any more..." as I was Trying to think of other things, she smiled and nodded. Then suddenly I jump in excitement "Oh and guess what?!" she looked at me with a puzzled look "What is it?" I motion her to come closer, as she did I said "I brought back the Heartfillia estate and in the process of repairing it" As her smile grew she said "Congratulations Lucy, was that the reason you take so many missions" I nodded in excitement "It is beautiful Mira! I am almost finished restoring it, I'll invite you, Lisanna, Levy, Wendy and Carla over sometime when I'm done" She smiled and nodded vigorously "Please do Lucy!" we started talk about other random things afterwards until someone called Mira over for an order.

Sitting at the bar I thought 'This is this the very first time I've been to the bar to relax in months, being on constant solo missions really can take it out of you' sighing I decided to rest my head on the bar to get some sort of sleep.

As I was just dowsing off to dream land I felt a tap on my shoulder I turn around to see Natsu and the rest of team Natsu. I look up to Natsu groggily as he gave me one of his famous grins and said "Hey Lucy", I knew what they were going to say it was just a matter of time that they will say something, so I sighed and said "Let me guess you want me to go on solo missions while you put Lisanna on the team so you can 'catch up' and at the same time I could get stronger... you guys are too predictable..." I look to the floor and then tilted my head up wards so my bangs are covering my eyes; I heard team Natsu whisper to each other saying "how did she know?" I lowered my head covering my eyes with my bangs and sighed "yeah I'm fine with that … however before you run off on a new mission together ask yourself this" I look at all of them dead in the eye starting from Gray and ending with Natsu and continued "what kind of nakama are you?" they looked astounded while taking a step back I saw Natsu clench his fists and said "what kind of nakama are we? What kind of nakama are we?" Natsu yelled capturing everyone in the guilds attention "what kind of nakama, is so selfish to say or even ask that?" abruptly I stand up with dark shadows across my face with fists shaking at my sides, then Erza stepped forward with a hand on Natsu's shoulder to calm him then looked at me with a glare filled with disgust and said "You should be asking yourself that question, not telling us to ask ourselves, what kind of selfish person can't accept their nakama's wishes?" I looked Erza dead in the eye, filled with anger my whole body started to shake and said "if you weren't listening before I said I'm fine with that I'm not denying your wishes all I said is question yourselves of what kind of nakama are you? That's all I asked" Erza glare turned from disgust to anger and said "all we wanted to ask you was if you could leave the team so we could spend some time catching up with Lisanna and now you are making a big scene about it! You're so self-centered!"

I sat back down and sighed then looked back up at Erza and said "I'm making a scene? I'm self-centered?" I started to chuckle, they look at me with a puzzled look then I continued "I believe Natsu is the one who caught everyone's attention by yelling! Tell me how am I selfish in reality you're the narrow minded ones. Has it ever occurred to you that I wanted to get to know Lisanna myself and taking a mission as a team with Lisanna would be nice ways to get to know her? Tell me how am I narcissistic? I'm not the one who ignored a nakama, a team mate for a year and act as if I didn't exist, and when you finally did notice me you had the hide to kick me off the team and say I was selfish. I was so happy for you guys when Lisanna returned so I decided to give you space to catch up, after two months I try to talk to you guys but you ignored me like I was nothing but a ghost so I decided until things die down I would go on missions to earn rent money and wait until you started to talk to me, and now...and now..." I look down with bangs covering my eyes clenching my jaw "after a year...ONE DAM LONG YEAR of treating me like I was some kind of ghost, a piece of trash or an unwanted doll and you have the guts to come up to me and tell me to leave the team and to stop being selfish for asking one question and saying that I wanted to get to know Lisanna … just to let you know I've been doing solo missions by self for the past year, I was upgraded to S-class ranking just after the 7yr time skip" I stand back up look at the team dead straight in their eyes and said "Please tell me how am I being the selfish one out of this situation?" just as Erza was going to slap me I caught her armoured wrist, the whole guild gasped in amazement due to it being very rare for someone to block a move from the great Titania, I look Erza in the eyes with anger while she looked stunned "Don't you dare touch me! Being an S-class mage I would've thought you would have some more control over your actions or would've at least thought about the situation before resorting to violence...analysing this situation I technically should be the one slapping you… well it goes to show how good my self-control is compared to you" I gave the darkest look I could muster and squeezed her wrist making her wince "being the queen of fairies I would've thought you would've notice that I am a lot stronger than what I was … in fact I might be just as strong as you … if you want to continue this then please by all means continue but I would advise you not to" I let go of Erza's armored wrist leaving it completely distorted showing my grip mark, then walked over to the mission board then grabbed five requests walked to the bar, then got it signed off then walked to the guild doors then looked back at everyone who were completely stunned and remained silent throughout the whole argument "with the way you guys have been treating me... I'm not even sure whether I should call you nakama or not... so much for what you guys believe in 'one's sadness is everyone's sadness'... I joined this guild in search of a family I've never had... I've grown up being ignored and abused not only verbally but physically by my father but you wouldn't know that would you? I should have known from the start that I was being used as a replacement" I looked down and chuckled lightly then looked at everyone in the guild "and come to think that I was foolish enough to think that I had the family I never had...I guess jokes on me..."

I turned and opened the large doors only to be greeted by the outsides fresh air and looked up to the sky and continued "But I guess I could thank-you for teaching me the feeling of what it is like to feel betrayed, fooled and what a family is like even though it didn't last long... I guess the saying 'all good things come to an end' is true…just promise me you will never do this to anyone else" I sighed then looked back at the guild and shake my head in disappoint "It disappoints me to know that it wasn't just team Natsu but the whole guild was a part of this...it's kind of sad that I have to be yelling angrily or to make a scene in order to make you guys listen... I knew coming here and having a new family was too good to be true I was a fool to think that I wouldn't be abandoned again. And when I thought I was free from the loneliness that's been following me around my whole life... Boy was I wrong it was first my mother's death, then my father's obsession with money and business, who abused me every night telling me I was wasting his time and then you guys who used me as a replacement..."

I look at everyone in the guild one by one then sighed "being adults I thought you would know nothing is replaceable... once you have something you are not to let it go because you won't be able to get it back... nothing is the same and in the end the thing you used to replace what you had originally lost is only going to get hurt... from the way I see it you are being the ones being selfish, don't bother coming after me or you will regret it" then turned to go out the door to find myself run into Lisanna "Hey Lisanna!" I smiled brightly which she gladly returned and said "Hey Lu-chan!" then as I go to walk past her I stop next to her, placing my left hand on her right shoulder and say "Listen if they ever give you trouble, just come to me and I'll gladly put them in their place" I smile and pat her should lightly "Sure thing Lucy" she smiled brightly and waved as I was leaving, turning around I waved back and smiled brightly then turned and walked back to my apartment leaving an abnormally quiet and stunned guild behind. I smiled to myself happily that I finally got that off my chest.

Erza's P.O.V:

I stood frozen in place staring at the guild doors Lucy's words kept on replaying over and over in my head like a broken record 'Lucy is right...what kind of nakama are we treating her like trash and trampling all over her and taking her for granted...she has every right to question us from what we have put her through...Lucy please forgive me' As I stood still tears began to pool in my eyes dropping one by one 'Lucy you were like a sister...one of my best nakama's … who treated me like a normal person, a normal girl, when no one did. You were the only one who never left my side when I was down and when I needed your help you were always the first one there for me by my side. I could never ask for anything more in a nakama and yet I never treated you with what you deserve' I dropped my head in shame and whispered "Lucy please come back safe and sound... I'm sorry..."

Gray's P.O.V:

I looked over at Erza as she cried silently 'I've messed up big time...I can't believe I went along with what happened...I should've known better, Lucy I'm sorry, what kind of nakama am I treating you like a ghost...you are right it is sad that you have to be angry in order to make us listen... It's sad that I'm only just starting to realise this now...She was like the sister I never had … she was always there to help me whenever I needed it and yet I wasn't there for her..." A lone tear made its way down my face as I think about one of the few biggest mistakes I've done "Lucy...I'm sorry please come home soon"

Normal P.O.V-Guild after Lucy left:

Everyone was absolutely stunned by the celestial maiden's speech while Lisanna waved to Lucy as she was leaving; turning back into the guild she looks around at everyone who was completely silent with astonished facials across everyone's faces. Five seconds later everyone turned back to what they were doing but less energetic, quieter and glum faces to go along with the depressed atmosphere. As Lisanna sat down at the bar she looked back at everyone who was still depressed then turn to her sister who had a melancholy expression spread across her features she asks "Mira-nee what happened?" Mira had a slight frown adorning her beautiful features and pointed to Natsu and said "Ask him" looking over at the upset dragon slayer, Lisanna made her way to the shocked looking Fire breather and tapped lightly on his shoulder and said "Natsu? Are you alright? What Happened?" Natsu looked at the younger Strauss sibling and said "…We…we kicked Lucy off the team so you could join…" Lisanna stood there in shock and exclaimed "YOU DID WHAT?!" Natsu looked down at his feet in shame and said "We kicked Lucy off the team so you could join us so we could spend more time together…" Natsu looked through the corner of his eye to see what Lisanna would do "WHAT! I was so looking forward to getting to know Lucy too!" pouting Lisanna stopped for a moment and looked at Natsu with a frown a dawning her beautiful features and said "Natsu?"
