August 23, 2 Months before Lucy left.

~*Levy*~

I was sitting at my boyfriend's table, while he was on a mission, reading, when the guild doors opened.

Thud. "Lucy!"I scrambled to the entrance of the guild, she lay there unconscious. "Wendy, where are you!"

The small blue haired dragon slayer stepped out of the infirmary. "Yes, Lev-" She ran to the unconscious Lucy.

"Levy-chan, I need you to help me carry her to the infirmary" She calmly said. I tried to carry Lucy, but she was heavy.

"Hold on." I used my magic and made a thick block of ice. I lay Lucy on top of it and slid her to the infirmary.

Wendy and I lifted Lucy on one of the infirmary beds. "Thanks Levy-chan" she said as I walked outside.

Surprisingly no-one move an inch or even flinched, they talked as if nothing happened, as if there was nothing in the world to be worried about.

"Levy-chan!"Wendy suddenly called out of nowhere, that second I knew something was wrong.

~*Wendy*~

When Levy-chan walked out, I started expecting Lu-chan's wounds. I stared using some ointments and used my magic when I noticed it.

I quickly ran out of the infirmary and called Levy-chan.

"Levy-chan, there's a problem. Can you come with me?" I asked anxious to get her in the infirmary. "Yes, what is it? Do you need help?" "No, just come with me." And we entered the infirmary.

I showed Levy-chan the wounds on Lucy-chan. There were new ones, recent ones, and old ones. They were all open, and some you might not want me to tell you about… "Most of them are from older missions, and none of them are cleaned or bandaged properly." I informed Levy-chan. "Can you help me Levy-chan?" At that moment Master came in. "Is she ok?" He asked. "We aren't sure if she'll be ok, Master." Levy-chan said for me. "Oh." Master said disappointed. "I'll be going to a meeting now. Bye." And he left.

"Levy-chan, can you get me the ointment, tub of water, sponge, soap, and gauze? Oh, and some huge band-aids." I asked Levy-chan as I started to inspect the wounds on Lu-chan.

I used the sponge, soap, and water to wash the gaping wounds with help from Levy-chan. "Thank you Levy-chan, you may go now."I told her. "You're welcome, Wendy." And she left me so I can concentrate on using my sky magic to heal Lu-chan.

(=^.^=)

~*Levy*~

"Levy-chan you may come in the infirmary now!" Wendy said as she walked up to me. "Ok" I replied. And we walked into the infirmary.

"She is conscious right now, she said she wanted to talk to you Levy-chan." Wendy informed me as we walked into the infirmary. To my surprise Master was already there, he probably left the meeting early.

"You took more than you could bite." Master said, looking at what was left of the heavily bandaged Lucy. "Sorry Master." Lucy replied back. "Oh, hi Levy!" she said tiredly as I walked in. "I guess I should be going now." Master said so we could talk privately, even though he had no-where to be going. "I guess I'll be waiting outside too." Wendy said, but Lucy rejected. "No, it's ok Wendy, you can listen too."

Wendy and I sat around Lucy's bed.

"So, I have made my mind." Lucy said. "Made your mind for what?" Me and Wendy said at the same time. "*sigh* Levy, Wendy, I'm going to leave." We were speechless, our jaws open. "I'm going to leave Magnolia…for some time." she continued. "I don't know if I'll be back or not. I'll be training…for a long time." She nervously said. "Are you sure about this? I mean, are you really going to leave us?" I said on the edge of choking on my own words. "Levy, I'm leaving so I won't be a burden to my friends. I'm leaving for the good!" Lucy said trying to say it in a happy tone. "But how will the guild feel once you leave?" I said panicking. "They don't even know if I exist. So, it's ok." She said easily which scared me. "But what about us?" I said with widening eyes. "Levy, you have Gajeel, and Wendy, you have Charla. You guys will be fine. Anyways, I need to do this." She said ending with a serious tone. "You don't have to do this. What about Natsu?" I said, tears brimming my eyes. "Natsu will be fine. He has Lisanna. I'm just a replacement for her."She said quietly. "Lu-chan, I came just before Lisanna, I know you aren't a replacement for Lisanna." Wendy said in her quiet voice. "Thanks Wendy, but I have to go. I have to go train." Lucy said firmly. "If you go we'll always keep you in our hearts." I said after a choking silence. "And I will keep you in my heart, even if you think I don't exist." She said with a smile. We laughed for a little bit, but in our laughing voices we heard a sadness in them.

"So can you keep this secret for me?" Lucy said after we were done laughing. Wendy and I looked at her.

"Levy, you can tell Gajeel and Pantherlily, Wendy, you can tell Charla." She said after looking at our worried faces. "But don't tell Team Natsu or anyone in the guild. Mainly Natsu." She continued. "Only you guys, Charla, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Master, and me, can know about this, ok?" We replied nodding with sad expressions. "Thanks." And she slept for a whole 'nother week.

~*Gajeel*~

"That Salamander really doesn't know who is his." I said looking at Natsu, after taking all news from squirt.

Pantherlily was just sitting next to me thinking. "So, how was your mission?" shrimp said breaking the silence. "It was easy, we just had to beat up this group of bandits." I said bluntly. "Stop lying and tell her the truth." Pantherlily said. "It was just a group of bandits who are dark magic users." I said getting angry. "And?" The cat said which pissed me out. "Fine, ok, I got a little scratch." "Huge." The cat ruined it. I didn't want my squirt to worry. The cat ruined it. "*gasp* where!" And there she goes fussing over a wound on a strong guy who doesn't care about the wound. Thanks cat. Pantherlily chuckled at the look on my face, which obviously, was an angry one.

~*Pantherlily*~

So, if she left longer than five years, than there is something else that is bothering her. Probably Natsu…

~*Charla*~

After the news Wendy told me, I saw a vision. The vision had a girl in a cloak, traveling. This could've meant anything. The doom of Fairy Tail, something will happen to Lucy, or whatever. But something will happen.

One Week Later

~*Master*~

"You're WHAT!" I yelled. "Master, I'm going to train for a long time. I'm going to be strong so I won't burden my friends." She repeated. "Are you sure that you need to go?" I said as I had a feeling this has to do with Natsu. "Yes Master, I'll be packing right after we talk. But I need you to tell those who ask about me that I'm on a long-term mission. Levy, Wendy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, and Charla already know about this." "*sigh* give me your hand." I finally said breaking the long silence. "Thank you Master, I'll miss you." Awwwwww that made my tears water. Or was that just my head morphing it… I took the guild symbol off her hand and opened my eyes. The white flash of the removing of a symbol disappeared. "Lucy, when you are done 'training', you will always be able to come back and receive your new guild symbol. Farwell Lucy." And she left. My child is leaving her home.
