PREVIOUSLY.
"I guess I won't be working alone after all!" I beamed at myself, and hugged the egg to sleep.
Lucy P.O.V
I woke up half-asleep, finding that I was in my bed. I felt something warm next to me and snuggled close to the thing. The thing had its arm around me and my right arm was hugging a big egg. WAIT. The thing had its arm around me. I slowly turned my head around and saw blonde hair. LAXUS!? I bit the top of my lip and glared at him. I saw that he had a scratch on his eye. It was a flesh wound, but wasn't bleeding. I stroked it carefully, and he winced a little. I stopped, and started glaring at him. How dare he sleep in my bed! He has his own bed! I shook my head in disbelief and decided to scare him by using a weird voodoo doll I didn't know I had and stuffing it in front of his face. I poked his face until he woke up. He rubbed his eyes.
"Mmm, Luc- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H!" he screamed, jumping up and rolling off the bed with a big thud. I started laughing at him as he pouted on the floor and rubbed his back.
"That wasn't funny you know." he whined. I wiped the tears out of my eyes as I stopped laughing but kept snickering a little.
"Look Laxus! I found an egg! Let's take care of it!" I said excitedly.
"Woah, cool! Let's go to the guild first and show everybody, okay?" I nodded my head vigorously.
"Um, Laxus? What happened to your eye?" I asked him worriedly.
"Well, I was on a mission with the Raijinshu where we had to get rid of some thieves but one of them used a sword and slashed my eye," he said, frowning at the memory.
"Stay on the bed, okay? I need to get something." He sat on the bed and waited for me while I looked through my vanity, looking at the egg and hugging it, making it warm. I finally found what I was looking for – a small blue tub of ointment that Grandine had given to me in case of emergencies or injuries. She gave me 2 jars of these, since she knew that me and Laxus were troublemakers and would be reckless.
I walked over to Laxus, where he was still waiting.
"Close your eye and I'll put some of this ointment that Grandine gave me for injuries, okay?" he closed his eye and I rubbed the ointment on his eye. He relaxed after I put it on.
"That feels so much better," he mumbled. I smiled happily, satisfied.
"Thank you Grandine," I whispered to myself. I shooed Laxus to go and change in his room and I changed into a black t-shirt and some denim shorts with my keys in my pouch, wearing my . I wrapped up the egg in a blanket. I knocked on Laxus's door.
"Are you ready, Laxus?" I yelled.
"Yeah, come in," he replied back. I opened the door and stared in amazement. He had painted his whole room yellow, and he hung pictures of us and the dragons on the walls. A bed was on the left side of the room, and on the other was a desk with a window near it. He had a bedside table next to his bed and the closet was on the right side of the room. He also had a coat hanger next to his desk which held the coat that he loved dearly. It was the coat that Bolt had given to him on his birthday, the last gift that he had received from Bolt.
"Wow," I breathed. Laxus was standing in the middle of the room. He wore a black shirt with a thunderbolt on it, and black shorts.
"Ready to go?" I asked him. He nodded, and grabbed his SoundPod. I went into my room and grabbed my SoundPod and the egg. We walked out, and I locked the door behind us. I hugged the egg protectively. I snuck a glance at Laxus. He was staring at the egg.
"Wanna hold it the rest of the way?" I asked him, stretching out my arms so he could grab the egg. He nodded, and grabbed the egg and hugged it. We soon reached the doors of Fairy Tail.
"Look everybody! We found an egg!" I yelled, catching everybody's attention. They all crowded around.
"Well well! I guess all dragonslayers are supposed to have exceeds," Wakaba and Macao laughed. Laxus proudly showed them the milky-patterned egg, while I went towards the bar.
"Could I please have eggs and bacon and a strawberry milkshake Mira? I forgot to eat breakfast this morning," I said sheepishly.
"Yeah, sure!" she said happily. She might look all scary, but inside, she's really nice. Well, she's nice to me. She soon came with my order in her hands and set it on the table.
"Enjoy your meal!" she chirped, going to the storeroom to get something. I cut up the egg and the yolk spilled out. I grabbed a strap of bacon and dipped it in the yolk. I was about to grab my strawberry milkshake when Laxus came and stole it, the egg still in his hand. I huffed angrily and reached for it, grabbing it off him. He then took my fork and ate 1 strip of my bacon, dipping it in the yolk like I did before. I grabbed my milkshake and drank half of it in one gulp. Laxus happily put the fork down and licked his lips.
"Laxus! Hey Laxus! Laxus-sama!" three voices called out. Evergreen, Bixlow and Freed came running over to us.
"Hey guys," Laxus waved. They all bunched up around him and I sat there eating my food awkwardly. I quietly crept away and thought I had managed to sneak out until Laxus grabbed me and shoved me in front of him.
"Look what Lucy found!" he said proudly, showing off the egg. They all stared in amazement.
"It's not as beautiful as me though," Evergreen said, fanning herself, but clearly impressed by the egg since she was sneaking glances at it and gawking each time.
"It's beautiful," Freed cried out randomly.
"Woah, that's cool," Bixlow said, darting his tongue back and forth and looking closely at it, nearly licking it. I sweatdropped at all their comments.
Laxus made a disgusted face and jerked the egg back, walking towards the guild doors.
"Well, let's get go- WOAH!" Laxus yelled out, tripping on a shirt and dropping the egg, making it fly.
"NO! THE EGG!" I yelled, running to get it. Oh no! I wasn't going to make it!
CRACK!
The egg landed on the ground and attracted everyone's attention. A big crack flashed through the egg. What an idiot! How could he drop MY egg?! My mood turned dark as I walked up to Laxus, step by step. He crawled backwards, scared of me. I was seriously pissed off. Laxus knew what would happen to him if he was seriously pissed off.
"Laxus.." I growled lowly, stepping closer and closer towards him. He kept crawling until he hit a chair at the bar.
"Oh shit!" he thought, trying to get up and scramble away. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.
"YOU IDIOT! HOW COULD YOU DROP MY EGG, HUH?! YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THAT YOU WERE EVER BORN A BOY!" I screamed in his ears, making him clutch them in hurt.
*Dear reader, this part in censored for your innocent little brains. Do not try and think of the disgusting, painful and gruesome things that Lucy did to Laxus. Thank you.*
I smirked, at my piece of art. Laxus, sprawled out on the floor holding his *ahem* family jewels, bruises and bumps everywhere, moaned in pain before passing out.
CRACK!
I jerked my head towards the egg, which was still on the ground.
CRACK! CRACK!
"Is it…hatching?"
"Yay! Another Happy!
"Aye!"
"Hmph."
"Isn't this exciting, Charle?"
"I wonder if it's going to be a boy or girl?"
"If it's a girl, maybe it will fall in love with Happy or Lily!"
"Yes, maybe."
I sweatdropped at everybody's expressions and watched in amazement as the egg cracked even further. Suddenly, there was a bright light. Everybody either looked away or shielded their eyes with their hands. The bright light soon vanished, and in the egg, there was a female exceed! She was a light pink and was wearing a white top with pink shorts. Her belly was white, and on her left ear there was a pin bow clip. She was also holding a cream coloured flute.
"So cute!" I squealed, and hugged the exceed.
"Hello-nyan! What's my name, nyan? And who are you, nyan?" She chirped, always using the word 'nyan' at the end of her sentences.
I heard things like 'she's so cute!' and 'aww!' from all around the guild.
"Hello! My name is Lucy Heartfilia! Your name is… your name is.." I furrowed my eyebrows In thought and rubbed my temples.
"Your name is… Star! Your name is Star!" I replied back, smiling.
"So, can you use any magic, Star?" I asked her. She nodded her head.
"I can use Aera, which allows you to have wings, and I can turn into human form. I use flute music which lets me manipulate people for a little bit-nyan!"
"SO CUTE!" I gushed, hugging her again. Everybody from the guild rushed over to see her and tried to grab her but she dodged all their hands and flew up.
"Hello-nyan! My name is Star-nyan! Nice to meet you nyan!" She squeaked, floating down towards the other exceeds. I smiled and left Star with the others for a moment, before sneaking over to Natsu and the others.
"Yeah, but she is just a little weak I guess," Natsu said, frowning a little. This caught my attention. Who were they talking about?
"But she's new, Natsu, you can't blame her,"" Gray said back.
"Yes, Lucy is new, and she hasn't been with in Fairy Tail as long as we have," Erza nodded. I scowled as my anger boiled. I was weak? Well, I'm sorry that I'm weak and haven't been in Fairy Tail for a long time. I stood up angrily, tipping over a chair.
"Oh god Lucy, were you listening?" Natsu asked, a look of horror on his face. Gray just facepalmed.
"Look what you've done now, Natsu." Erza just stood there, frozen. I guess she didn't know what to do. I stormed over to the mission board and ripped off a mission, quickly skimming it. It was to defeat a bunch of bandits on the outskirts of Sandy Town (A/N Sorry for the lame name guys.) for 50,000 jewels.
"I'd like to do this mission, Mira," I gave her the mission and she stamped it.
"Good luck, Lucy!" Mira smiled. I smiled back, then stormed over to Natsu.
"I'll prove to you that I'm not weak by completing this mission!" I yelled at them.
"Fine! If you complete the mission, we'll let you into Team Natsu!"
"I will! Star, we're going!" I yelled at her.
"Aww, bye-nyan! Star said goodbye to the other exceeds and flew over to me.
"Let's go, Star. We have a mission to complete," I said angrily. Star frowned a little at my mood, flying silently beside me. We finally reached my apartment and I grabbed a grey backpack and put the things I needed for the mission and looked over to Star, who was looking at my photos.
"Are these real dragons-nyan? Or are they fake dragons-nyan? What happened to them-nyan?" she asked cutely. I ruffled her head.
"Of course they're real. They just… disappeared," I said softly.
"C'mon, let's go. The train's not going to wait for, you know," I joked.
-Walking towards the cave where the bandits are-
(A/N Sorry that I'm too lazy to write what happened lol. The dude, Jake, just explained that they were demanding for money and food and stuff. There were around 10 of them. They were good hand to hand combat fighters but had no magic. Sorry again guys.)
"Look, nyan! They're over there!" Star whispered.
"Alright, let's on three," Lucy whispered.
"One."
"Two."
"THREE! Celestial dragons roar! Open, gate of the Crab! Cancer!" I yelled. Loke's key would use too much magic, and Cancer's attacks were pretty effective. Kind of. Star played a melody on her flute which made most of them sleepy. My roar knocked out only 1 of them!
"Cancer! Cut their hair!" I yelled. I ran up to one of them and was about to punch him in the stomach with my right hand but he smirked, twisting my hand and breaking one of my bones. I recoiled and jumped upside-down with my left hand, kicking him in the face. He held his face in pain, and Cancer cut his hair, also cutting everyone else's.
"My work here is done-ebi." Cancer disappeared and I thanked him. I looked over to Star, who was in her human form. She had short pink hair and was wearing her usual white top and pink shorts, with a clip in her hair, and was also wearing black flats. I ran up to her quickly.
"Celestial Dragons Wing slash!" I yelled. 2 of them got blasted away, and Star quickly disposed of the last one, blowing a tune on her flute. I panted heavily. I only had a little bit of magic left! Just enough to use my secret dragonslaying art, but there were still 6 of them left!
"Hey badits! Over here! I have lots of money!" I yelled, taking a big risk. They looked over and ran towards me. Star blew a tune that made them a little woozy. I waited for them to get close to me. NOW!
"SECRET DRAGON SLAYER ART, CELESTIAL EXPLODING LILY ROAR!" The roar knocked them down and they lay on the floor, but got back up.
"No way." I clutched my face. I had no more magic left! I looked over to Star, who was nearly at her limit. They all ran up to me. One of them punched me in the stomach, making me cough up blood.
"Not so strong are you now, girl?" One of them sneered, holding up my head by my hair. I bit my lip from yelling out. I heard a soothing tune flow into my ears.
"Star.." I whispered, before blacking out.
Normal P.O.V
Star had quickly put Lucy to sleep, the bandits' attention shifting from Lucy to her. She let out a small squeak when they ran for her, and used her Aera and cat form to grab Lucy and run out of there. She quickly flew to the clients house, and pressed the doorbell, her vision beginning to black out.
"Hello?" Jack opened the door and saw the two sprawled out on the floor.
"Please..Help…Lu-" Star didn't get to finish her sentence, but Jack understood what Star was trying to say. He dragged the two into his house, and tended their wounds, leaving them to rest for the day.
Lucy groaned and woke up.
"Where am I?" she asked herself, moaning and rubbing her eyes. She quickly sat up.
"That's right, I was fighting and – ARGH!" she yelled, pain erupting through her body.
"I see that you're awake," Jake commented, giving her a glass of water. She quickly gulped it down and out it down before I was attacked into a hug by Star's cat-form.
"I *sniffle* was so *sniffle* worried, Lucyyyyyyyy!" she wailed, crying into my shirt I patted her head with my left hand, since my right was broken. Jake just smiled at the touching scene. I bowed down to him.
"I'm very sorry that I failed the mission."
"Don't worry, the police are on the roll. They've caught the bandits. But here's the money anyways!" Jack handed me the money but I pushed it away.
"No no no, I failed the mission, so it's yours."
"Okay then, have this money as a token of thanks." He pushed the money back.
"B –"
"And no buts either," he smiled. I smiled back and owed my head again. Lucy hesitated for a bit before slowly grabbing the cash, bowing her head again.
"Thank you again, Jack. I'll be leaving now." Lucy packed her bags and stood at the door, waving.
"Bye Lucy!"
"Bye Jack!"
Lucy walked through the streets of Sandy town.
"Open, gate of the Canis Minor! Nicola!"
"Pu-puuun!"
"Hey Plue. How's it going?"
"Pu-puun!"
"I failed my first mission today. I'm not worthy of being in Fairy Tail. Should I leave to train, Plue?"
"Pu-pupuun."
"You say if I want to?"
"Pu-puun! Pu-pu-puun! Puuuuuuun!"
"You're right. I need to tell them somehow. Maybe I should write a letter to Fairy Tail. That'll do it. I'll train and become stronger!" she cheered, running towards the closest post office.
Dear Fairy Tail,
This is Lucy Heartfilia. I'm sorry to say that I failed the first mission that I had accepted. I don't want to tarnish Fairy Tail's name, so I'm going to leave the guild for a little bit. Well, a while. Thank you everyone for being so nice to me during my stay even if it was only for a short time. And Natsu, don't worry about our little wager. It's not your fault that I am quitting the guild. I need to become stronger! Don't worry, I'll come back soon! I love you all!
Ex-Fairy Tail guild member,
Lucy Heartfilia.
"I guess I need to tell Laxus too. I haven't been apart from him for so long! I miss him," Lucy thought.
Dear Laxus,
Well, as you may or may not know, I've decided to leave the guild for a little bit. I haven't been so ar away from you before! I miss you so much! Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm just going to train for a few years. I promise I'll be back. Be good and keep your behaviour in check while I'm gone, ne? Don't worry, I still love you! /
Missing you already!
Lucy Heartfilia.
-TO THE GUILD, 1 DAY LATER-
"I wonder where Lucy is. She should be coming back by now," Mira said worriedly, resting her cheek in the palm of her hand.
"Mail for Fairy Tail! Mail for Fairy Tail!" A small bird chimed, giving a letter to Mira.
"Oh look! It's from Lucy!" Mira cheered as Master Makarov came down. Mira quickly opened the letter and read It out loud to the guild.
"Dear Fairy Tail,
This is Lucy Heartfilia. I'm sorry to say that I failed the first mission that I had accepted. I don't want to tarnish Fairy Tail's name, so I'm going to leave the guild for a little bit. Well, a while. Thank you everyone for being so nice to me during my stay even if it was only for a short time. And Natsu, don't worry about our little wager. It's not your fault that I am quitting the guild. I need to become stronger! Don't worry, I'll come back soon! I love you all!
Ex-Fairy Tail guild member,
Lucy Heartfilia." Mira gasped and dropped the letter, crying. Many of the guild member started crying as well.
"What's all the fuss about?" Laxus's voice boomed.
"L-Lu-chan…" Levy cried.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO LUCY!?" he yelled.
"Q-quiet down, Laxus," Erza stuttered, tears appearing in the corners of her eyes.
"L-lucy… S-she l-left F-fairy Tail…" Mira sobbed, burying her face into her hands.
"What? No! LUCYYYYYYYYYY! COME BACKK!"
Of course, after reading Lucy's letter, Laxus was very relieved to hear that Lucy was going to be okay.
Sneak peak for the next chapter:
"I'm back, Fairy Tail."
"LET THE BATTLE OF FAIRY TAIL BEGIN!"
"LAXUS! MASTER MAKAROV IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION!"
"LAXUS, YOU IDIOT!"
