Konnichiwa, minna! Sowwy I took a long time to post this... I wanted to at least get half way through the story of this before I post in case I get writers block.

Well, hope you enjoy!

Lucy`s P.O.V.

"Natsu…" I said as I gazed at the moon. That moon was like the regular moon, but it was purple, like Galuna`s.

"What are you doing, Lucy?" asked Kiriyo. Kiriyo was one of the only living people in this realm. He had found me and had cared for me the past two years and a half. He had black hair that slightly hung over his face. He had gray eyes, and he was 6'7". Kiriyo was 30 years old.

Kiriyo was at the door of my room. He came in slowly and sat at the table that was in the middle of my room.

"I am looking at the moon," I managed to whisper to Kiriyo, "It`s beautiful."

"Lucy, why are you crying?" Kiriyo asked. Kiriyo was curious and naïve, so I would lie to him about my past a lot. I never told Kiriyo about the adventures I had went on with Team Natsu.

I felt my face, it was covered in tears. "I want to go back…"

"Oh, I see. I know you are going soon. Like you said, two years, right?" Kiriyo checked as he held up two fingers.

I nodded. I turned back to the window. Natsu...

"Well, Lucy, you should go to sleep. We are going scavenging for some food tomorrow! And hey, maybe we`ll go to buy some of that expensive shampoo that you wanted from Sal," Kiriyo said as he went to the door.

I looked at him with a muddled look. I asked hoarsely, "What shampoo?"

Kiriyo shook his head, "You know that Celestial thing-ama-jig Strawberry Vanilla shampoo."

"Oh, ok. Thank you, Kiriyo," I smiled at him.

"No prob. Just wake up at dawn tomorrow," Kiriyo reassured me. I nodded before he left the room.

Once again, I looked out of my window. "Natsu, I`m sorry…" was what I said before I fell asleep.

I opened my eyes to see that I was in my room. Everything was in place. Michelle was in her place; I picked her up and hugged her tightly. I smiled at my parents` pictures.

"Wow, I wonder if they kept it like this?" I wondered as I opened the curtains to light my room.

I looked out the window with a big grin. This place feels so new for some reason.

"Oh! I need to check on Fairy Tail!" I grabbed an energy bar while running out to the door.

I peered over to the new restaurants and bars while chewing on my energy bar.

"Wow. Fiore has changed a lot over the two years. I wonder if Fairy Tail is still number one? Hmm. I guess I`ll have to find out!" I said cheerily.

I stopped in front of a bakery. Island 8. Wasn`t this bakery a restaurant two years ago? I went inside while digging in my bag for my money.

"Hello, what would you like to…" the old voice had stopped. I looked up.

The man was staring at me and his jaw had dropped.

"Nani?" I asked at him. This man… he looked very familiar… Oh! It`s Shitou-sama.

"Lucy, you were pronounced dead a few months ago! How are you alive?" Shitou questioned.

I told him about how I was banished from Earthland for a few years. I couldn`t keep myself from crying, so I wept violently.

"Oh, okay… but what are doing in my bakery?" Shitou-sama asked.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and grinned, "I`m here to get some strawberry cake!"

"It`s coming up, and it`s on me!" Shitou managed to beam.

Natsu`s P.O.V.

I sighed as I rested my head and arms on the table.

"What is it, Hun?" Lisanna asked me while hugging my side. We just started to date yesterday; she asked me out. I don`t really have feelings for Lisanna, but I didn`t want her to be sad either.

"It`s been two years and eleven months since Lucy left…" I frowned.

"Oh…" Lisanna said; she frowned also.

"Don`t worry! I know my Luce won`t let us down!" Stripper said.

"Did you just say 'my Luce'? Don`t you have Juvia?" I got up as I banged fists on the table top.

Ice Freak shrugged, "Juvia started dating Lyon. And so what if I call Lucy mine? Aren`t you already dating Lisanna? Why are you freaking out about this?" Stripper got up and sneered at me.

"I-I-I… ugh, nevermind," I said as I looked down. Gray is right. I am dating Lisanna, so I have no right to claim Lucy mine. I sat down and wanted to visit Lucy`s grave even if she was dead or not.

"Retard!" Gray clucked.

"I see that you two are getting along," said a scarlet mage. Erza was walking to the table with strawberry cake in one hand.

Gray had shut up and sat down. Good, keep that stripper mouth of yours shut!

Lisanna frowned and said, "Why did Lucy disappear in the first place? I bet she was too weak."

I was furious. No one can call Lucy weak after what she has done. No one.

"No! Lucy was not weak! She sacrificed her time for a human family! A family that had lost hope! She did it to keep other families from experiencing what that family had experienced! Lucy saved lives!" I said as I stood up and glared at Lisanna. Maybe I was too harsh on her, but she didn`t have to say that.

Everyone was staring at me. Even Master. I looked down and said, "Gomen, I must go. Happy!"

"Aye!" Happy frowned. He didn`t want to leave Carla.

I stood in front of the door while waiting for Happy, when it flew open. There was a girl. Blonde locks, mocha-brown eyes, and a big smile. She smelled like vanilla and strawberries. Just like three years ago. She had a pink box in one hand, and her other hand up high waving.

"Ohayo, Minna!" said the cheery voice that I always wanted to hear for so long.

"Lucy," I managed to whisper.

"LUCYYY!" Gray cried as he ran to Lucy. Frucking Stripper. What the flipping frog? "We thought you were dead! We even bought you a cemetery space!" Lucy chuckled.

Gray was hugging Lucy like they were lovers. Oh hell naw. I clenched my jaw and balled up my fists.

"Lucy…" Erza called to Lucy drooling, "What`s in the pink box?"

Lucy got out of Gray`s grasp and smiled at Erza, "It`s strawberry cake! For you! I bought it just now, here." She gave the box to Erza the cake demon.

"Luce…" I managed to say as I walked to her.

"Natsu!" Luce smiled as she held her arms out.

"HONEY POOH!" Honey Pooh? I turned my head to see Lisanna running into me with a bear hug.

Lucy raised an eyebrow, then laughed, "Honey Pooh?"

"Uhh…" was all I could say. Lisanna hugged my arm.

"Oh! I guess since you just came back… FYI, Natsu and I are in a relationship since we thought you were dead. Right, Natsu?"

"Uhh… yeah…" Oh god… I regret it all already.

Lucy frowned. Then she smiled, "Con-Congratulations!"

"Luce, I…"

"So, Natsu! Let's go to my house and get going in bed," Lisanna said as she tried to attract me seductively.

Lucy grimaced and walked away in disgust.

"So… Natsu... shall we?" Lisanna attempted to seduce me, again.

"No," I answered.

"What?" Lisanna said as her voice started to crack.

"No, I will not," I answered and glared at Lisanna, "I`m going home to think about things. Happy!"

"Aye!" the blue exceed answered with a frown. He was hugging Lucy`s head.

"Stay and have fun!" I said as I tried to smile at my furry friend.

"Aye, Sir!" Happy answered as he went back to crying on Lucy with Wendy, Levy, Master, Gajeel (He kept crying, "Bunny girl, you missed all the concerts that were going on!") and Panther.

I left the guild to blow off some steam. I`m sorry Luce…

Lucy`s P.O.V.

I arrived at the doors of the guild with a box of strawberry cake in one of my hands.

I smiled to myself, "I will see Natsu again!"

I opened the doors and did what I would do three years ago.

"Ohayo, minna!" I called out. I looked around the guild. It had looked the same from three years ago.

"Lucy…" I heard Natsu mumble with his eyes wide open.

I was going to head towards him until Gray stopped me with a tackle hug.

"LUCYYY!" Gray called. What happened to him? "We thought you were dead! We even bought you a cemetery space!"

This seemed like the Lisanna incident, so I laughed under my breath. Gray hugged me tightly, so I hugged him back.

"Lucy, what`s in that pink box?" Erza said as she drooled. I got out of Gray`s tight hug, and gave Erza the box.

"It`s strawberry cake! For you! I bought it just now, here." I smiled.

"Luce..." I heard someone mumble. It was Natsu. I thought he was going into a hug so I held my arms out.

Then a voice screeched, "HONEY POOH!" WTF?

I looked to the side to see Lisanna running towards me and Natsu. Lisanna stopped and clung to Natsu`s arm.

I raised a curious eyebrow and said, "Honey Pooh?" I smiled with a bit of me hurting inside.

Lisanna smirked and all Natsu said was, "Uhh…"

Lisanna filled in for Natsu and said, "Oh! I guess since you just came back… FYI, Natsu and I are in a relationship since we thought you were dead. Right, Natsu?"

I looked at Natsu with confusion. He said, "Uhh… yeah…"

I wanted to scream. Three years! Just three years! Natsu started to fall in love with Lisanna again… I managed to squeak, "Con-Congratulations!"

Natsu looked at me as if he was reading my mind, "Luce, I…"

"So, Natsu! Let's go to my house and get going in bed," Lisanna said as she rushed her bust into Natsu`s arm. Nice play, Lisanna. Nice play.

I frowned, and I held back the tears. I walked away, hoping to have some alone time in the bathroom. To cry my sorrows away, but everyone tackled me into a hug. They all spoke together so I didn`t understand a thing. I nodded and said, "Oh! Okay, I missed you, too." Some gave me confused looks, but I didn`t want to do anything right now, but cry and cry and cry.

As soon as everyone was done, someone shouted, "A PARTY FOR LUCY`S HOMECOMING! NOW LET`S SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Wow, everyone is as drunk as ever.

I stared at Lisanna who was smirking at me. She gave me a look that looked somewhat like an "I hope you enjoy it here, because I will make it torturous for you" look.

Frowning, I walked toward the restroom, remembering that I needed to cry. I hate my time already, Lisanna. Thanks for your concern…

"Lucy…" Kiriyo whispered my name.

"Yes?" I answered as I look up from his arms. I was crying. Not because of Natsu or anything, but that I will have to leave Kiriyo. I did start to develop feelings for him. He supported me a lot over the three years I had stayed here.

"Even if you do go back to Earth, you will die, you know," Kiriyo looked at me. I got out of his arms angrily.

"I know that! I will die eventually. I will die of old age," I said as I looked down unsurely.

"No, you will die like the late family of the Heartfilia`s. You will die of the disease your mother had," Kiriyo looked at me. He had a worried look on his face.

"… Then, I will die for Natsu…" I said. Kiriyo clucked bitterly.

"Lucy, when you are done with Earthland, you must come back. So you can live forever. I don`t want you to die," Kiriyo looked at me with his expression grave.

"Don`t worry, Kiriyo. I wouldn`t need to come back," I smiled sarcastically.

He frowned and said, "O-Okay. I`m going to… Wait… Lucy, why are you glowing?"

"W-What?" I looked at my hands and saw that I was glowing, "Kiriyo! I`m leaving…"I felt my eyes starting to turn into a sprinkler job.

Kiriyo glowered at me and scowled. He managed to smile weakly and said, "Lucy, when you can, use the Heartfilia curse to come back here. You will stay alive here!"

I nodded to Kiriyo. I said, "Kiriyo… I will miss you!"

Kiriyo`s face turned pink under his black hair, "L-Lucy… I l-lo"

And that was when I whited out and disappeared to Earthland.

I sat in the corner with the door locked. Probably it wasn`t a good idea to lock the public restroom…

I sat there, in a shower stall, with my head against the wall. I had my legs folded and tucked under my arms. I looked at the door with my eyes watery.

I wish I never came back. I admit it, I started to have feelings for Kiriyo, even if he`s a far, far blood cousin.

I wiped my eyes and hiccupped. This is like when Lisanna came back from Edolas. Lisanna has finally got her revenge. What now?

I got up, ready to wash my face. When, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! No, more like, POW POW POW!

"Lucy? You in there?" a sing-songy voice called. Mira…

I didn`t answer.

"LUCY! YOU IN THERE?" a harsh voice called. ERZA! "Open the door before I kick it down and drag you out of there!"

I opened the door. I knew I looked horrible with puffy, red eyes and a wet face.

"Are you okay?" Mira asked me. She frowned when she looked at my face.

I nodded a no.

Erza then said, "Let us in and lock the door. We need to talk."

I said, "Okay…"

Erza and Mira came in before I locked the door.

"So… tell me what happened." Erza said as we all sat down on the floor.

I looked down to the tile floor and answered, "I am dying…"

Erza and Mira looked at me as if to think that I was joking. Mira said, "You are joking, Lucy. Right? I mean, like you just came back, and…"

"My mama died of a disease. That disease was passed on in the family. I didn`t know myself until Kiriyo told me," I said, frustrated at myself.

Mira lifted an eyebrow, "Who is this Kiriyo?" While Mira did all the talking, Erza was still in the position where her eyes were wide and her jaw was still hanging.

I told Mira the whole thing. "Then, Kiriyo told me to use my family`s powers to go back to that realm. So I could live. Then I came here to find Natsu with Lisanna. I guess Natsu wouldn`t love me anymore, even if it would cost me my life." I couldn`t tell her my feelings toward Kiriyo.

Erza was still in the same position.

Mira looked at me and grabbed my hands. She said, "Natsu does love you, Lucy! He only gave Lisanna his hand to make sure she wasn`t sad. Trust me, Lucy. Natsu loves you! Stay in that fight for your life."

I looked down and felt hot tears go down my already-wet face.

Then Erza finally spoke up, "Lucy, as nakama, we will do whatever it would cost to keep you alive! Natsu especially!" Erza punched the ground, leaving a cavity on the tile floor.

"No, Erza, just whatever you do, just, don`t tell Natsu that I am dead until the funeral," I said with my head down. I`m looking too far ahead. I`m not even sick yet. Why am I bringing this up?

"Lucy… We will pay for your medicine no matter what!" Mira said.

"Well, the only medicine I could use to make sure I don`t get the disease, is the Fiorian Herb. It`s rare, but it is the best medicine used for any type of disease," I said with a moment of thought, "But it only grows every five years. And this is the first of the five, since it dies after several days. I researched it. This year, is the start of its five year cycle. Five years from now, I`m going to die."

I should have not said that because Erza got up to leave. "I will not let you die, Lucy! I will not!"

Erza opened the door to a clash of pink hair and white. I gaped with my eyes on the verge to start flooding again. There stood Natsu and Lisanna kissing.

Thanks guys! I hope you stick around for the second chapter. And I know... all sequels suck, but I am working hard to make this just as good as the first!

BYE! (~=3=)~
