Chapter 10: Taking different directions

After the day Natsu walked away from Lucy, the fire mage became distant to the celestial mage. Lucy always made an effort to approach Natsu but he would always snob her. Most of the time, Natsu would spend the day with Lissana which made Lucy really jealous. So one day she decided to talk to Natsu really serious and won't let him walk away from her.

"Natsu...we need to talk" Lucy said as she stood behind the fire mage who was talking to Lissana

"What do we have to talk about? You don't tell people what you know!"Natsu shouted back to Lucy. All Lucy could do was shut her eyes to fear. Once she opened her eyes she saw Natsu standing in front of her really angry, "Natsu, I didn't mean to keep that a secret from you... I was just-"

"No Lucy... I don't need your explanation, because whatever you say I won't listen to it." Natsu then turned around and grabbed the wrist of the white haired mage.

From then on, Lucy saw the man he loved walk away from her once again holding someone else. All Lucy could do was cry and cry. Levy has decided to bring home the blonde mage because she was not in a good condition anymore.

3 weeks has past and Lucy never left her apartment when Levy brought her home. People from the guild really got worried that every day they would visit the young mage. Mira and the others never tried to mention to the blonde that Team Natsu went on a mission without her but instead brought along Lissana.

One day, Juvia came to visit Lucy bring some fruits she bought from the market. "How are you Lucy? You look better than last week!" Juvia greeted as Lucy opened the door

"Hai! Thank you Juvia...I'm allot better now, come in!" Lucy cried as she let the water mage come inside her apartment.

"So Lucy? When do you plan to come back to the guild?" Juvia asked as she sat down in a chair in the kitchen

"Well...I don't know... I don't know what will happen if I would see Natsu again with Lissana" Lucy then sat in front of Juvia looking away from her as she felt her tears are about to come again

"Oh about that Lucy..." Juvia then lowers her head as she remembered being told by Mira to tell the truth about Natsu

"Eh? What is it Juvia?"

"ano...Lucy...Natsu and the team went on their own mission without you...instead went on with Lissana" Juvia then bit her lip as she waited for Lucy to scream and hear her sobbing. But to her surprise she looked up and saw a widened eyes then a smiling face from Lucy. Juvia then stuttered "H-huh? Aren't you upset Lucy?"

"To be honest, a little...but if that makes Natsu happy then so be it. By the way... How long will they be gone?"

"Three months that's what Gray told me."

"Well then I'll take this chance to take some missions on my own..." Lucy then stood as she showed determination

"I can go with you on missions while I'm waiting for Gray-sama to come back..." Juvia offered while looking up to the blonde

"No thanks Juvia but I appreciate your concern... I want to go on my own so that I can forget about Natsu for the mean time and how I feel for him." Lucy then gave a grin that Juvia saw for the first time after the fight Natsu and Lucy had.

Moments later Juvia has decided to go home and give her goodbyes already to the blonde. Lucy was now all alone and she thought to herself, it's a foolish thing to say that I would forget how I feel for Natsu...he is my first love after all. Lucy than sat down behind her door and started crying again. As she lifted her head up again she cried out "I'll do it for Natsu!" then she cried out loud again.

Next morning Lucy planned to come out of her apartment again. She has decided to wear her pink top with blue skirt. She wore her belt with keys and her whip and she gave a last look in the mirror "Alright! I'm ready to go!"

As she stepped out of her apartment, local men riding a boat in the river then greeted her "Ohayou Miss Lucy! Long time no see!" Lucy then waved them hello and shouted back "Hai! Hai! Ohayou!"

Lucy then continued her walk towards the guild. She was smiling throughout her walk as she missed the streets and the people. But at the same time she saw the park where she remembered the time Natsu confessed to her. She felt a tear dropping from her eye. She then wiped her tear away and said "No, I can no longer cry on something that is meant to be forgotten." As she said that to herself, she then continued her walk without glancing for the last time the park.

Moments later Lucy has reached the guild and she opened the door really wide as she shouted "OHAYOU MINNA!" Everyone then approached her as they missed the blonde for weeks. Levy then hugged the mage as she cried from happiness. "Lu-chan! I really missed you! I thought you won't show up anymore to us!" Lucy then just giggled to her friend then she tapped her head "Impossible, I really missed you guys! I actually want to say sorry to you guys... I made you guys worry about me so much."

"It's normal for us your friends to worry for you. After all you are experiencing personal problems on your own." Macao then said as he puts his arm around Wakaba. Everyone then agreed to Macao as the raised a glass of alcohol.

Master Makarov then came to approached the celestial mage, "Lucy, I hope you are all better now... What are your plans now with Natsu?"

"Master... I have thought about that already... And I plan to go on a long mission to forget for now about Natsu." Lucy then gave a grin to show the master she was fine

"Alright then... Take a long mission if you want but I suggest come with a friend. Remember two is better than one."

"Hai!" Lucy then gave a quick hug to the master before she ran towards the request board.

Juvia and Cana then came to approach the celestial mage and offered a companionship during the mission. Lucy then accepted the offer and decided on what mission to do. Juvia then read the flyer:

Protect and bring a valuable sculpture to Magnolia museum within 2 months. Sculpture is from Kayrion kingdom.

Reward: 3,000,000 jewels

Requirement: 3 female mage

"Alright that fits us three!" Cana shouted as she put her arms around Lucy and Juvia.

"Well then we should leave tonight...Kayrion is another country and two months is long enough to finish the job." Lucy said to the two mage

"Alright! I better get my stuff ready then!" Cana then stood straight in between the two mage

"Me too! But Cana you better tell Laxus first before he wonders where you would go." Juvia then teased the young brunette. Cana then blushed and went on and waved ahead of them "yeah...yeah...a long explanation I shall do... See you later guys!"

Juvia and Lucy then giggled to each other. Both of them agreed to see each other in the guild along with their things.

As Lucy reaches her apartment, she took the things that she would need. And before she left the apartment she said to herself, starting tonight I would be a new Lucy.
