Lucy walked down the streets of Magnolia alone. She was doing a lot of things alone now that Lisanna was back. She didn't mind the first few months. She talked to Lisanna a little bit and they had become pretty good friends. The blonde Mage could see why everyone missed her so much but still she was hopping they would still be the close team fairytail all knew and loved just adding one more. But sadly Lucy realized that she wasn't apart of fairy tails strongest team...Lisanna had taken her place...no that wasn't quiet right...she was never really part of that team...she was just a place holder for Lisanna. It pained the young blonde beauty to think like this but when it really came to thinking about it...it was 100% true. Lucy could feel the tears starting to form and ,despite her best efforts, a tear single tear ran down her cheek. Thats when Lucy felt a someones hand on her should and the calming voice that soon followed "Princess...I'm sorry about everything that has been going on at the guild and to think they would ignore you on today of all days..." The lion spirit had said soothingly to his beautiful master. Lucy was glad that Loke was there with her now he was in some ways her knight in shinning armor. Lucy had heard from her other spirits that Loke and Aries had been spending a lot of time together. She was hopping the red haired lion spirit had gotten over her and was now after the pink haired ram.

"Loke it's fine its only my birthday...I'm going to go to the guild..." Lucy said forcing a smile into her face. Loke wrapped his arms around Lucy and her tight.

"after that I want to take you some where for your birthday..ok?" Loke whispered while he held her in a warm embraced. Lucy smiled and nodded. Loke soon after released her and disappeared back into the world of the celestial spirits. The blonde beauty smiled and walked to the guild have new found happiness. When Lucy walked through the doors of guild everyone was doing their usual thing. Gajeel and Levy were in the corner. Levy was reading a book in the iron dragon slayers lap while he continued to eat a few pieces of iron that the master always kept lying around for him. Mira was cleaning the bar while Cana drank what looked to be her third barrel of booze. Erza was next to the brown haired drunk eating her favorite strawberry cake. Wendy and Romeo were sitting in a booth talking light blush on both of their cheeks. Gray and Natsu were glaring at each other from across the guild. The only thing keeping Gray from starting a fight with the fire Mage was that Juvia had her head rest on his shoulder. 'she probably fainted from seeing Gray in his boxers' Lucy thought. She than looked at where Natsu was sitting had her heart broke a little. Natsu had his arm wrapped around Lisanna than placed a kiss on her cheek smiling. Then Lisanna kissed his cheek and they continued to cuddle in they're seat. Lucy couldn't bare to see this it hurt her too much. As the celestial Mage began to turn around to leave she heard a small voice. "Lucy!" she turned around slowly and saw the blue haired Dragon slayer standing behind her with her hands behind her back.

"Hello Wendy! What's that your holding behind your back?" as soon as she said this the small girl pulled out a red box tied up with a pink bow. "I know today is your birthday so I got you a present I hope you like it!" The blonde Mage was stunned she had thought everyone other her spirits had forgotten what the day was. Tears began to form in Lucy's eyes as she pulled the small dragon slayer into a hug.

"thank you Wendy..." she had whispered ever so silently. The dragon slayer only smiled and urged her to open the gift. It was a necklace. The pendant on it was the fairy tail guild mark painted pink to match the mark on her hand.

"Gajeel wouldn't admit it but he helped me make the pendant he really is good with iron!" The blonde couldn't help but smile. 'so he helped too...' Lucy looked over at the iron dragon slayer he was looking back at her. She gestured toward the pendant and mouthed 'Thank you' he only nodded to her in response. Wendy smiled and walked back over to Romeo. With a smile on her face Lucy walked over to the bar. Taking the seat next to Erza she smiled. Erza looked at Lucy for the first time in a long time.

"Lucy I've been meaning to talk to you about something!" Lucy's smile grew 'wow first I get a birthday present now Erza is talking to me again! This day just keeps getting better!' Lucy thought. "I think it would be best if you weren't on team Natsu anymore...since Lisanna is back we don't really need you on the team now.." Lucy stiffen. Her whole world had come crashing down. She couldn't take it. Lucy ran out of the guild as fast as she could. She ran to her apartment grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. 'this isn't happening..'

Natsu POV

I was sitting at the end of the guild me and Lisanna had finally started dating I was so unbelievably happy. I glared at the ice bastrad who sat at the other side of the guild. Soon I say Lucy walk in I hadn't really carred about her since Lisanna came back I watched her for a little bit. Wendy came up to her handing her a present I was really confused. Why the hell would Wendy...Oh my god...I can't believe I forgot today was Lucy's birthday! I forgot all about her! Then I saw..she was sitting at the bar with Erza. My eyes widened as I remembered what Erza had told me earlier that day

-FLASHBACK-

I was about to tell Lisanna how I felt about her. I was running as fast as I could when I ran right into Erza. I didn't really care because of what a rush I was in. I was about to get up and start running agian but Erza stopped me.

"Natsu I think we should kick Lucy off the team. What do you think?" Erza had said. I hadn't really heard her or cared at the time.

"Sure Erza! I totally agree whole heartedly!" I yelled as I ran to Lisanna.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

My face drained of its color I didn't want Lucy to leave. I watched as Lucy ran from the guild I let go of Lisanna and ran after her. 'what have i done!' I screamed at myself the whole way to Lucy's.

Normal POV

Lucy was laying on her bed crying. Then all of a sudden her phone rang. She slowly picked it u

"H-Hello?" she had asked in a broken voice.

"Oi Blondie whats wrong?" Lucy knew this voice. Sting was calling her.

"I-I was kicked off team Natsu..." she sniffled and cried. Sting could hear her sadness on the other line. He felt sorry for the girl he really cared about her now. Even though he was just using her at first. But je had slowly developed feelings for the girl.

" Hey...Lucy...Can you please..go on a date with me today..I'm in town. So please.." Lucy blinked a few times but figured. Natsu wasn't gonna ever get his head out of his ass and notice how much she loved him. So with a smile on her face she whispered..."yes..."
