Chapter 1

I swirled my spoon around in my milkshake before sighing. Mira glanced at me worriedly from the corner of her eyes. I gave the take-over mage a small smile. It's been 5 months since the guild started celebrating the return of Lisanna. Most of the guild members even decided to sleep in the guild hall the whole time. Mira turned to me and sat down the spotless glass she was cleaning.

"Lucy, why don't you take a job? Your rent must be coming up," she asked gently.

"I already have 6 months of rent paid and all of the jobs need to be done in teams or are requesting a certain mage."

"When some new jobs come in I'll let you be the first one to see them." I beamed when Mira told me this, causing said mage to laugh. An arm found its way over my shoulders.

"Why don't we go on a job together?"

I shoved the arm off and turned to greet my newly found best friend. "Gajeel! You're back! "

"Gihi,"

The only people who talked to me when everyone was ignoring me was Mira, Master, Juvia, Wendy, Gajeel, Laxus, and the exceeds. Happy usually comes with me on jobs because Natsu doesn't pay attention to him anymore. Surprisingly I've developed a strange partner/friend relationship with the iron and lightning dragon slayers. I either go on missions with one or both of them.

"So do ya, Bunny Girl?" I nodded energetically, ignoring his nickname for me.

"You can pick the job this time Gajeel!" The black haired slayer's red eyes dance with amusement at my happiness.

I frowned and tugged at his long hair before he left.

Mira POV

Omigoshomigosh! Black haired brown eyed babies and blonde haired and red eyed babies! But now that I think about it Laxus and Lucy would be cute together also. Blonde haired babies using lightning and summoning spirits! I'm going to die!

Normal POV

I stared at Mira weirdly as she fainted with a nosebleed. I shook my head and glanced around. No one even noticed the fiasco. My gaze landed on the table that Team Natsu was at. Natsu had his arm slung over Lisanna's shoulders, Erza was eating strawberry cake while smiling, and Gray was stripping. Everything was normal except Lisanna was there instead of me. My heart clenched sadly as I turned on my heel.

"I'm going home Mira." Mira, who had just woken and was cleaning her nose, grinned at me.

"Goodbye Lu-chan."

On my way out I was quickly intercepted by Gajeel.

"We're going to guard some stupid stone in Sakura Town. (I made that up) We are leaving tomorrow at 9:00, 'kay Bunny Girl?" he questioned with a smirk.

"That's fine, Gajeel." I ran around him and opened the guild doors.

"Lightning Rod is going to be back tomorrow and is coming with us!" he yelled after me. I turned around and smiled before disappearing behind the doors.

I stretched and smiled as I quietly basked in sunlight. I got up and looked at my clock. 7:02. I grabbed my pink fluffy robe and stumbled into the bathroom. I sighed happily as the hot water ran down my body and loosened up some knots in my back. I grabbed my strawberry shampoo and lathered it in my hair. I quickly rinsed it out and washed my body with my vanilla body wash. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped my hair up in a towel before putting on my robe. 8:15. I grabbed a black cropped halter top and a black studded miniskirt. I put on some 2-inch black leather boots that ended mid-calf. I put on my usual brown belt and clipped my key on it. I quickly put my hair in my usual style with a pink ribbon.

I ran my hand over my keys, mentally counting each one. I sighed in relief when all of them were there. 8:52. My eyes widened as I cursed. I sped out of the door and ran towards the guild. I pushed the guild doors open, panting and sweating. I ran my eyes over the guild, before seeing Gajeel and Laxus sitting at a table. As I made my way towards them I was stopped by Natsu.

"Hey Luce! Want to go on a mission with me?" I frowned slightly before giving my 1,000,000th sigh this week.

"Sorry Natsu. I'm already going on a mission with someone."

It was Natsu's turn to frown. "But who would want to go on a mission with you. I mean, everyone knows you can't hold your own in a fight." I stood there silently and if you listened closely you could hear the sound of my heart breaking.

Everyone was quiet, watching the display before them. And I was not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I will take everything he threw at me.

"Gray, Erza, and I always have to save on almost every job we take. And you always get kidnapped for some reason or another. And in your battle against Flare and Minerva if you had been stronger we would have won," I knew what coming next, "You're nothing but useless and we-"

"Iron Dragons Sword!"

"Lightning Dragons Roar!"

"Water Slicer!"

"Evil Explosion!"

"Sky Dragons Roar!"

Natsu flew across the room from the force of the attacks. Everyone blanched and backed away as the unconscious slayer hit the wall with a loud thud. Laxus stalked over to me, grabbed my shoulder, and lead me to Master's office. Mokorav (?) looked from his paperwork and smiled.

"Lucy what brings-"he scowled as he looked at my face, "Lucy my child, what is wrong."

Gajeel stepped forward with a murderous look on his face. "Salamander called her weak."

Master's face twisted into rage and before he could say something I butted in. "I want to leave Fairy Tail to train. I'll come back though,"

Gajeel and Laxus shared an uneasy look, "We'll go too."

Master sighed sadly, "Then there is no need to erase your marks then. Go ahead and train my dear just please come back,"

"Arigato Master,"

Gajeel, Laxus, and I walked out of the guild. We silently walked towards the Train Station. We got tickets to the town where my mansion was. Since it's abandoned and surrounded by a forest it was the perfect place to train. We sat down in our compartment. I looked up at Gajeel.

"Am I weak, Gajeel?"

And that was the first chapter of 'Am I Weak, Gajeel?' It was fun to write this. I will not update until I get 3 reviews. Friendly criticism is welcome but pyros and their flames can leave. ~Arashi-chan
