Hey, everybody! I have a story! So, this is my first real story, and it would mean so much to me if my favorite authors could read it!

As in: Mrs. HopeEstheim, FairyTailChick44, LaynaPanda, Senbei x Cup Ramen, axlorg89, Maykelin, and BlackLynx17.

Also! As for the cover photo, if it shows a blue cat that looks like happy, click the picture! That is not the real one! Thank you and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, if I did, it would be a Nalu fluff overload! Hiro, you troll! D:


A Dragon's Journey


Normal P.O.V. (At the Fairy Tail Guild)

Lucy sat down in 'her seat' and stared at the door to the kitchen, waiting for Mira to come out. That wait was cut short, thankfully, when said bartender reappeared.

"Mira!" Lucy shouted, a completely fake smile taking the place of the bright and true smile she used to show.

"Oh, Lucy! Where have you been? I haven't seen you at the Guild in weeks! What can I get you?" Mira replied, her kind tone making others turn and look, as if seeing her was a shock.

"Uh, I've been sitting here every day for the last… I'm going to have to say… three months? Yes, that sounds about right. I'll have a strawberry milkshake, please," Lucy deadpanned at their complete obliviousness.


Lucy's P.O.V.

I can't believe their nerve! Ever since Lisanna came back from Edolas, the guild has been partying. I get that they are excited, I was, too. I partied for the first three days, but this is ridiculous. Three months! Three! Then they completely ignore me? It's like I was just her replacement.

I sipped on my milkshake while I waited for Team Natsu (plus Lisanna) to walk up to me from their table. The looks on their faces were ones of determination, and just by that I knew what was coming. I have been waiting for it for a while, now. I'm curious, though. How do they plan on saying it?

"Hello, Team Natsu, Lisanna," My 'strictly-business' tone announced. It was quite obvious Gray, Erza, and Happy noticed, but they said nothing.

"Hey, Lucy" Natsu started.

'He said my real name; this is definitely what I thought it was.'

"Well, we thought that maybe you might want a break, so…" Gray continued with a slightly troubled expression.

"You're off of Team Natsu, and Lisanna will be replacing you," Natsu finished, but Erza seemed to have something to add.

"Take this time to do some solo missions and train, you really need it," There she goes. Well, that was harsh. My turn!

"Well, that's fine." I fought to hold back the tears; they were just so cruel about it. "Just so you know, I have been training, and I have gotten stronger. Thank you, all of you, for being so heartless about this. Thank you, Erza, for being the sister I never had. Thank you, Gray, for being the brother I also never had. And Natsu, thank you… for smiling at my pain, now goodbye, Team Natsu," I slammed some Jewels on the counter for my drink and hopped off the stool, never sparing a glance at them.


Normal P.O.V. (Guild Hall)

Lucy grabbed the hardest and most rewarding mission on the board and walked over to the bar, waiting to get it approved by Mira. The white haired beauty looked skeptical, knowing there was something wrong if Lucy wanted to take this hard of a solo mission.

"T-T-They kicked m-me off the t-team… so I'm l-leaving," The blonde stuttered, having picked up the signal that was given.

Mira only nodded in understanding.

"I have written letters to a few members, and I would like you to hand them out after I leave, only when someone asks where I went." Lucy stated, handing her a stack of the letters and a few gifts for specific people. She took the bag and nodded, gesturing for the paper so she can write it down. Lucy gladly handed it over, said her farewells, and left.


Normal P.O.V. (Lucy's Apartment)

Lucy opened the door to her apartment and took a brief look around, checking for the dragon slayer who hasn't showed up in a month. Noting he wasn't there to intrude, she unclipped Virgo's key. Taking a steadying breath, she said the words to decide her fate.

"Open, Gate of the Maiden; Virgo!" Lucy chanted.

"Punishment time, Princess?" Virgo chirped as the smoke cleared away.

"No, but can you please pack all of my things and put them in the Spirit World?" Lucy pleaded while backing away to the door, Jewels in hand.

"Of course, Princess," Virgo went to work as Lucy left. Lucy walked down the hall and knocked on the landlady's door. She willingly handed over her last

payment of rent after explaining the situation.

"I wish you the best of luck, then, Lucy," the old lady mused.

"Thank you," was all Lucy said before turning and leaving. Virgo appeared beside her, stating her living space is now empty, while handing her a pack of necessities. She trekked into the woods out of Magnolia, and her journey began.


How was it? I hope it was okay...

Please review, any constructive criticism is okay. Please, just be nice.

I will most likely be updating any time I feel like it, because it is summer. Once school starts and if this story isn't done, then I will set a date, but tell me if I should even bother with updating... I don't want to say "Forget it, nobody reviewed" and stop the story if I have fans! That is my dream... to be as popular as those stated above.

Anywho, have a nice day/night, wherever you are or whatever... bye!
