Chapter 1

It was just a regular day at the guild. Teams were out on jobs, while others lounged around in the guild's main hall. Natsu was arm wrestling with Gajeel while Gray came strutting over. "Oi, Natsu!" Gray called. Natsu didn't answer. "Natsu!" Gray called a little louder. Still no answer. "Natsu!" Gray shouted. Natsu jumped in surprise and Gajeel took that moment to pin his arm down on the table; and he did. Natsu yanked his arm back and glared at Gray, "What?!" "Don't yell at me!" Gray growled. "You yelled at me first!" Natsu replied angrily. "Oh yea?!" Gray glared. "Yea!" Natsu scowled.

Just before Natsu and Gray were going to lunge at each other Lucy came running over calling Natsu's name. "Natsu!" Lucy called happily. Natsu quickly turned to Lucy's direction right when she called his name once. She came jogging over smiling, "Guess what!" "What?" Natsu asked. "I just got a ton of money from a short and easy job I just did with Levy." She grinned. Natsu's smile turned into a frown, "You did a job without me?" "Yea, sorry." Lucy apologized. Natsu stared at the ground silently, "I thought we were a team, Lucy. Not you and Levy." "I'm sorry, Natsu! Let me make up for it!" Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder, "How about we go to the restaurant you always wanted to go to with me? My treat."

Natsu lifted his head and his eyes beamed, "Alright, but don't be mad at me when you're broke." Lucy turned to walk away, "I won't! Meet me under the cherry blossom tree tonight!"

"So the pink haired freak has a crush on Lucy." Gray smirked. "I do not!" Natsu hissed. "Oh please, admit it. She called you just once and you gave her all of your attention. While I need to call your name more than once to get your attention." Gray had a smug smile on his face. "Lucy is way more interesting than you, boxers." Natsu scoffed.

"You're just getting soft." Gajeel joined in. "Me? Soft? No way! I am Natsu! I am not soft!" Natsu roared. "Yea, sure. You were sad that Lucy went on a mission with Levy." Gray laughed. "Because Lucy and I are a team!" Natsu clenched his fists. "And now, Lucy is treating you." Gray laughed louder.

Natsu gritted his teeth as he pulled his right fist back and punched forward; sending Gray flying across the hall. "Shut up!" Natsu snarled.

"C'mon Natsu. How many times have Lucy saved your ass?" Gajeel asked. "Um, zero." Natsu stated. "How many times have Lucy saved your ass from being charged for destroying a whole town?" Gajeel added on. Natsu thought for a second before frowning, "So what?"

"You are nothing without Lucy." Gajeel stated. "No!" Natsu rejected. "Nope, Lucy is the only reason you're ass isn't broke right now." Gray joined in. Gray walked up next to them rubbing his jaw lightly. "I can do as better without her!" Natsu told them. "Oh yea? Prove it." Gajeel smirked. "Um…" Natsu mumbled. "Exactly." Gajeel grinned, "Give it up Natsu. You're lost hope with Lucy." Gajeel got up and left. Gray stood there before laughing as he walked away, "Truth hurts doesn't it?"

That night Natsu laid in his bed silently. "Natsu?" Happy called. "Yea?" Natsu closed his eyes. "Aren't you supposed to meet Lucy tonight for dinner?" Happy asked as he flew over to sit on Natsu's bed. "Yea… but I don't want to anymore." Natsu informed him. "Why not?" Happy wondered. "The guys said I'm nothing without Lucy." Natsu told him. "Um, Natsu…. They are right." Happy sweat dropped. "What?!" Natsu shot up in surprise, "How?" "Well, because she always cares for you. She stops people from charging you for destroying their things. Lucy is like your get-out-of-jail-for-free card." Happy explained.

"Well, I can still be better off on my own." Natsu laid back down and turned to his side, "I don't need Lucy. Lucy is the one that needs me. I always save her from all the dangerous things she gets into." "Whatever you say, Natsu." Happy sighed, "I'm going to sleep. Night." Happy fell asleep while Natsu was kept awake. He then closed his eyes and mumbled, "I don't need her. I'm better off on my own." Not a few moments later, Natsu fell asleep.

So you don't need her? Well let me prove you wrong.

Morning rose and Natsu woke up. He did his regular work out routine and kicked open the doors of his house. The sudden noise scared Happy and he jumped out of his bed in surprise. "Today, I'll show that I don't need Lucy!" Natsu shouted to the new morning sky. "Huh?" Happy flew over to him, "Lucy?" "Yea! I'll show everyone I don't need Lucy!" Natsu smiled at his companion. "Who is Lucy?" Happy yawned. "What are you talking about? Don't you remember Lucy? Our friend and partner." Natsu asked confused. "Nope. I thought it was only you and I in a team." Happy told him.

Natsu blinked confused before walking off slowly with Happy in tow. "So, who is this Lucy, Natsu?" Happy asked. Natsu was silent, "So you don't really remember, Lucy?" Happy nodded. Natsu didn't say anything more. They walked silently towards the guild. Natsu stood frozen when he reached the guild. The guild was different, it had the same structure as the one had before the Phantom guild attacked to kidnap Lucy. "What's wrong, Natsu?" Happy asked curiously.

"N-Nothing." Natsu mumbled. He and Happy stepped into the guild and Natsu scanned the guild's main hall. There was a lot of the regular Fairy Tail members, but a few were missing. Gajeel, gone. Juvia, gone. Wendy, gone. Carla, gone. Lisanna, gone. Lucy…. gone. Natsu walked uneasily towards the bar. He sat down and stared down at the wooden table. Something… Something is wrong… where is everyone? Natsu thought.

Natsu shrugged the thought off before walking to the job board and took the hardest one there was. Mira signed it off and Natsu took off to do the mission without Lucy. This will prove to everyone I don't need Lucy! Natsu thought happily.

Natsu came back in the afternoon exhausted. "You look like shit. What happened?" Gray laughed as Natsu walked into the guild. "Don't want to talk about it." Natsu grumbled. "No, no, no. Tell me." Gray smirked. Natsu sighed, "I got charged for destroying half of the town and then I didn't get paid." "Haha! You idiot!" Gray laughed harder, "Now you have no money!" "Shut up! You don't have to remind me." Natsu groaned, "Isn't this the part where you say, I told you so?" "What?" Gray asked as he stopped laughing. "You know, how you were right about me being nothing without Lucy?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"Who is Lucy?" Gray asked confused. Natsu stared at Gray, Natsu was shocked and confused, What exactly is going on?!

"Oh, wow she is pretty!" Mirajane exclaimed. Everyone's attention turned to Mirajane. Mira was looking through a magazine with someone on the cover that was very familiar to Natsu. Natsu's eyes widen. On the front cover of the magazine was Lucy. She wore a fushia fancy ball gown, and her blond hair was tied into a bun with a fuisha ribbon. She wore expensive jewellery on her neck, wrists, and fingers. She looked like a total princess.

Natsu ran towards Mira and peered over her shoulder. Mira was at a page with Lucy on it. The headline said, The Heartfilia's Pride and Joy. "U-Um, Mira… who is that?" Natsu pointed at Lucy. "Oh, Natsu! That's Lucy Heartfilia. She is the daughter of a very wealthy family." Mira explained. In one photo it was of Lucy sitting down in some sort of garden. Natsu spotted in the picture, on her right back hand, there was no Fairy tail tattoo.

"Lucy…" Natsu whispered. Mira stared at Natsu before smiling, "Do you have a crush on her?" Natsu didn't answer. He just stood up with his head lowered. His pink hair shadowed his eyes darkly. He clenched his fists as he walked towards the job board. He glared at the sheets of paper on the board before grabbing one. He shoved it in Mira's face.

On the sheet of paper, it was a job request saying:

Help needed!

Help keep thieves and thugs away for four weeks.

Reward: 2,000,000 jewels

Mira silently signed it off. As soon as she signed it Natsu took off with Happy in tow. Mira watched Natsu as he walked away. "Hey, Mira! What job did Natsu take?" Gray asked as he walked over to her. "He… He took the one for the Heartfilia… family." Mira whispered.
