Authors Note: Hello fellow readers! It's been a while, but I'm finally back on my computer with a story that will blow your trousers away. Not literally, or course, but you get my message. Here are some key facts you must know before you begin reading this story:

1. This is indeed a NaLu fanfiction. Not NaLi or GraLu. Some readers do not understand this and begin reading without knowing. Notice I am clearly mentioning this to you beforehand. This means you do not have the right to be angry later on, should there be any NaLu romance.

2. There are different background stories and other characters that were not presented in the original Fairy Tail that have been made by my very own imagination. (Thus making this story one of a kind and more original than most Fairy Tail fanfictions) These things were made by my own creativity, thought up only to make the story all the more intriguing. This is not meant to upset the reader, nor is it meant to discredit the original copyright.

3. This story is in Lucy's point of view. If Lucy isn't there, it would "Nobody's POV" or "Narrator POV". This really only happens when Lucy isn't present during an important part of the story. These parts are included because without them, events would be more difficult to explain.

If this story is not to your liking, I understand completely. Honestly there really is no harm in trying, I just felt it was story-worthy and wanted to present it to all of you. Please let me know, whether you like it (or dislike it) for future reference and to improve my writing skills.

Italics mean flashbacks.

Enjoy the Story!

~Lucy: Road to Fairy Tail~

I slowly walked up to Fairy Tail, the wizard guild I had longed to join since I was a little girl. Ever since I met Natsu and Fairy Tail, I've matured a bit and become a lot stronger. My celestial magic is definitely more improved thanks to the training with my celestial spirit friends.

"Want a swig Lucy?" I heard Cana say as she drank from her usual assortment of alcoholic beverages.

"Good morning to you too." I grumbled, not bothering to look up from my new book. It's always the same, I guess. I slowly walked towards the bar and took a seat. "Hey Mira Jane!"

"Oh hello, Lucy! What book are you reading?"

"It's a book on Edolas. Edo Lucy gave it to me."

"How nice of her!"

"Yeah it has a lot of stuff abou-"

"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE STRIPPER!"

"NOT ON YOUR LIFE FIREBREATH!"

"Oh they're very energetic this morning." Mira said in the usual way that she did.

Thunk!

I saw a flash of pink and then a flying Gray followed by a flying pair of shorts and a t-shirt. It was hard to concentrate when all this ruckus was going on.

"PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON YOU NUDIST!"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME HOTHEAD?!"

"Always at it, aren't they?" I sighed.

"Aye sir!" Happy said flying over to a chair next to me, ordering some fish.

"I'm sorry Happy, we're all out of fish. But there is that pond near the end of the village where I know there are plenty of them." Mira said to the dissapointed and clearly hungry Happy. He looked miserable.

"I'll go get you some Happy!" I said, stuffing my book inside of my bag. Maybe I can sell some if I have enough to pay for my rent. I smiled. "I have nothing to do today anyway." It was true. Natsu has been taking it easy for the past week, not taking any jobs, even though I keep bugging him about it. What am I going to do about my rent?! I hope he'll come out of this phase and go on a job with me soon. Collection day is right around the corner.

I walked out of the guild and got on the trails towards the pond. Damn rent.

~Nobody: Back at Fairy Tail~

Gray sat down at the bar and ordered some chilled ice cream after the fight with Natsu and looked around. "Oi! Natsu! Have you seen Lucy?" He said with his mouth full.

"Hrm... No. She was just here a second ago." He said, plopping down in the chair next to Gray.

Happy shot them a toothy grin. "Lucy went to go get me some tasty fish." He rubbed his stomach. "Hehe... I can taste them already..." He said as he dreamed of what fish Lucy would bring back for him.

"You are just too obsessed with fish." Carla said, sliding over next to Happy. "Besides, Lucy won't catch that many fish."

"Aww..." He said, his stomach grumbling.

Mira Jane grabbed Elfman's hand and they slipped through the door to go and pay their respects to Lisanna's grave since they had made it a tradition to do it every year on the day she died. "Bye everyone! We'll be back in an hour." She said as they departed.

Rain began to fall and the guild members hurried up and closed the doors, leaving not a crack open. Last time it had rained, Natsu and Gray had busted a window leaving a wide opening for rain to come in. The guild did not have enough buckets to keep the rain from soaking the floorboards.

"Maybe Mira Jane and Elfman shouldn't have gone..." Cana said in that tone she only reserved for those she cared about. After all, Mira Jane was one of her close friends along with Lucy of course. "And Lucy didn't take an umbrella! She'll probably be back at around the same time as Mira and Elfman. I hope she doesn't get a cold." Erza, knowing that Lucy would come in soaking, grabbed a towel and hung it on the rack near the door.

~Nobody: Near the cemetery~

Lisanna walked toward Elfman and Mira Jane. Unsure how to approach them she just ran up to Mira in tears, knowing that no matter what there would be crying. And lots of it. Lisanna had come back from Edolas just as everyone else and coming home, she could not wait to be back at Fairy Tail.

~Nobody: Fairy Tail Guild~

"I wonder what's taking them so long." Cana said impatiently. Mira had said they'd only be gone an hour.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

There was a knock at the guild door. 'It must be Mirajane and Elfman come back from the church cemetery' she thought, opening the door.

"Cana!"

She blinked. That sounded like Lisanna's voice. "You shouldn't drink so much, its bad for your health." Tears filled her eyes. It really was Lisanna! She's back! Cana wrapped her arms around her in a tight embrace. "Where have you been all this time? We've missed you so much!"

She began tearing up. "I was in Edolas. I couldn't come back until now."

"...Li...sa...nna..." Natsu stood up from the chair and walked towards her with tears in his eyes. "Is it really you?"

"Natsu!" Lisanna jumped into Natsu's arms giving him a warm hug. "I'm sorry I couldn't come back. I really did try."

"Shh-h its fine." He said wrapping his scarf around Lisanna. "You're here now. Thats all that matters."

~Lucy: Back at the Pond/End of the village~

"Ugh stupid shrubs!" I said, yanking a thorn out of my bloody leg. "No wonder nobody goes on these trails anymore." It seemed like I had been walking forever. The rain had been quite the nightmare partly because I had forgotten an umbrella (which I had cursed myself for) and also because I can only see so far ahead, which really sucks because now I'm not only soaked but I'm pretty sure I'm lost.

Looking around, I sat down in the muddy grass. It was pretty cold out here. Maybe I should find some shelter or something to get out of this rain. I saw some rocks and started walking towards them.

"Yes!" I fist pumped and entered the cave. I wrapped myself in my jacket and made a small fire with some twigs I had found. "Stupid Natsu and his fighting. If he hadn't been fighting with Gray earlier, I would have asked him along and I would have never gotten myself into this mess." I warmed my hands with the fire and slowly fell asleep.

~Nobody: Fairy Tail Guild~

"Lisanna!" And thus, the party began. They grabbed as many alcoholic beverages they could find and drank them all, totally forgetting about the celestial mage who had left on an errand earlier that afternoon.

"Well... HIC! It was nice to HIC! have you back Lisanna!" Makarov said with a drunken voice. "Oi! Let's have all the ladies put on a show. Come and get on the stage, lovelies!" He grabbed another beer bottle.

They all gathered around on the stage and stood in a team circle and finally decided on doing a little Fairy Tail cheer. They were about to begin when suddenly Cana froze like a statue. Makarov looked to Evergreen. "Hey! She isn't stone! Wasn't me!"

"WHERE'S LUCY?!" She said, in such a high worried tone that some of the guys couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Oh my! That's right! Lucy hasn't come back yet." Mira said in a somewhat sober voice.

"Eh. Knowing Lucy, she probably did one of those seductive poses and got herself a place to stay somewhere." Natsu said, a little bit unsure if she was able to find someplace to stay.

Makarov started handing out beers and everyone began making toasts to Lisanna and other random cheers.

Mira Jane had a laugh with Elfman and Lisanna. "Just like old times." she said in a faint voice. "Just like old times.."

Author's Note: Okay, I know this isn't a lot, but a start. The next few chapters will be overwhelming, and whether you choose to like the plot is up to you. But if you decide you rather enjoy reading this story, then please tell me what you like about it and whatnot, if you wouldn't mind. Easiest way to do that would be to review, but you could also PM. I personally LOVE it when people PM me because it shows that the reader really does like the story and would like to contact me personally. It really doesn't matter either way, because I also really enjoy getting reviews from different people. Also, if you are a guest (meaning you do not have an account), you can still review, but you will show up as a guest. If you indeed are a guest, but you would like me to know exactly WHICH guest you are, then I suggest you put a name of sorts into the name bar when you review. It will then tell me whenever you review that it is YOU and not a complete stranger. Thank-you for your time and I hope you enjoy what is to come!
