Ok you know how its always 'Lisanna comes back, Lucy cries her heart out and leaves to become stronger and a wild snorlax appears blahblahblah' well don't get me wrong, I love some of those kinds. It's just..I see it highly unlikely. So this is what I think would happen, if they started thinking that way.

:.I'm happy I'm best friends with you.:

Lisanna had been back for two weeks, and yet the parties were still raging onwards. No one seemed to talk to Lucy, only a faint 'hello' or 'did you hear? Lisanna's back!' only to leave a second later, getting as drunk as possible. Lucy had rarely seen any of her other teammates, sticking out with Wendy(the only other person she knew wouldn't pass out from drinking). She sighed, burrowing her face in her arms as she closed her eyes for just a moment, listening to the rowdy Guild.

"Ya I'm all fired up! Yahoo!" She heard a certain fire dragon slayer yell enthusiastically, probably picking a fight with Gray or Elfman.

"Oh Natsu sit down." She heard a feminine voice giggle, and she was pretty certain it wasn't Erza. Her heart sank, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She hated it, Lisanna seemed like such a kind person, and she wanted to be friends with her. But she couldn't keep this feeling away no matter what she did. She groaned into her arm, feeling frustration build. She always thought too hard of negative things, sending her into a bad mood. She need to be more like Natsu, a little carefree, just not too carefree.

She groaned once more and sat back up, making her way to the Guild doors. She was tired, it had been such a long day. She felt like taking a nice warm bath and snuggling in her bed-

"Luce!" A familiar voice called out, stopping her in her tracks. She turned her head slightly to see Natsu running over to her side, smiling brightly.

"Oh Natsu." She smiled hesitantly, wondering what he wanted. He grinned his fangs at her, making her heart beat faster and her face heat up slightly.

"Hey Luce, you know how Lisanna's back and everything, right?" He asked her, still smiling, oblivious to her small heart attack she was having.

This is it, this is it! He's gonna dump me off the team! She thought in horror, imagining it already.

"Well since Lisanna's back and everything, we thought that you could maybe leave the team so we could have her." He said quietly. She gulped the lump in her throat, refusing to look at him.

"Leave the team.." She echoed to herself, a feeling of dread filling her. They didn't want her anymore. It had all been a lie, they were just using her.

"Ya since she's back we don't need you anymore! Besides, you're pathetically weak!" He guffawed, as if what he had said was hilarious. She blinked and her tears fell, anger trying to beat out the sadness.

"I hate you!" She yelled, storming out of the Guild and leaving him there.

"Lucy are you there?" He asked her in a whiny voice. She hadn't been listening, thinking up scenarios. She winced and bit her lip, trying to keep in her feelings.

"Yeah I understand. I'll leave the team." She whispered, but with his hearing she knew he had heard her perfectly clear.

"WHAT?" He shouted loudly, getting the whole Guilds attention. She winced slightly, hiding behind her bangs so he couldn't see the betrayal in her eyes. She thought she had finally found a family...well they still could be, just not team Natsu. Right?

"I understand you guys want to do missions with Lisanna, it's fine." She said quietly so only he could hear. She didn't want to be humiliated in front of the entire Guild. She couldn't see Natsu's face since she was staring at his sandaled feet, but his eyes were wide in complete shock. He had never imagined her saying that.

Realizing she didn't want him to make a scene, he took her by the shoulder and forced her outside, demanding answers.

"Well since Lisanna is back I know you guys wanna spend time with her, and I don't wanna get in the way of you guys." She said softly, tears pooling in her eyes.

"Idiot." He snarled, making her freeze. He had never used that tone with her. He only ever rarely acted like that unless it was a really really bad guy. She didn't understand, didn't he want to kick her off the team?

"W-what? Don't you want to kick me off-" She sputtered, trying to grasp for words. Her pain rung clearly through her voice, giving her away. She cursed at herself silently.

"Who said that? I'll kill them!" He roared, punching his fist into the Guild wall, a small crater appearing from the force he used. She flinched, not expecting this from him.

"B-b-but..." She trailed off, her mind swirling. She was so very confused, what was he acting like this for?

"Lucy Heartfilia you better listen to me and listen clear. We would never kick you off the team! We wouldn't be a team anymore if you weren't on it! Why would you think that anyways?" His growling softened into concern, his hands cupping her cheeks tenderly. She was astounded by how gentle he was being after that little episode. He was confusing her dearly.

"But you're in love with her so-"

"When did I ever say that?" He asked her, perplexed. She pulled away and turned her back on him, not wanting to look him in the eyes.

"Since she's gotten back all you've done is be by her side. I don't care really, but I just thought you'd want more time with her..." She cleared her throat, trying to pretend that instead of rubbing her eyes of tears that she was rubbing sleepiness away. She felt herself being tugged and suddenly she was forehead to forehead with Natsu Dragneel.

"I am not in love with Lisanna, Lucy. I'm in love with..." He suddenly pulled away, a light blush covering his cheeks and nose. She rose an eyebrow at him he's not in love with Lisanna?!

She mulled over the Fairy Tail women, thinking of which one he was in love with. Having no idea and only a guess, she spoke up.

"Erza?" She asked, puzzled. Natsu snorted and shivered slightly, he didn't know anyone that could tame that beast.

He shook his head and snaked his arms around her slim waist, pulling her to him and snuggling into the crook of her neck. "Please don't leave me.." He whispered, his voice sounding scared. She stood there in shock, why did Natsu sound so heart broken? Was the thought of her leaving them really that terrible?

Igneel.

That's why. He had been left by so many people before, and the worst was his foster father who he loved and idolized. She couldn't help but feel a warm feeling of pride in her chest, knowing that he would actually care about her.

"I'll never leave you Natsu, I just thought you wanted to kick me off since I was weak." She slowly wrapped her arms around him, rubbing his back soothingly.

"Weak? Luce you're the strongest person I know. I wouldn't be able to do anything without you." He murmured into her neck, making her blush from the warmth he emitted.

"I'm sorry Natsu." She apologized into his hair. She didn't mean to make him like this, so vulnerable.

"It's okay, you can make it up by letting me sleep in your comfy bed." He silently smirked, dreaming about the soft bed made him sleepy.

"NO!" She yelled after him as he ran for her house, laughing the whole way.

We're nakama and nakama never abandons one another.
