Hello, and I'm back with another chapter of The Police Gang.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be ending this fanfiction within the next few chapters, but I'm not one hundred percent sure at the moment-although it's reaching the end.
Anyway, I don't own Fairy Tail.
Enjoy!
The Police Gang-plus Natsu, Erza, Cana, and Bisca-walked into the police station, where there were plenty of officers waiting for them.
They all turned as the door opened, then gave them an odd look.
"Who else is there?" one officer asked.
"We had a little help since Lucy's arm is...well...the way it is," Gray said.
The officers nodded, then one walked up to Asteria, grabbing onto her shirt.
"And just what the hell were you thinking?" the officer snapped. "You should know better than to go into a fight all on your own like that!"
Asteria shrugged. "I did what I did. So what?"
"At this rate, you aren't gonna get reassigned-just follow your orders!" the officer said.
"Who said that I would be, anyway?" Asteria asked.
"Huh?" Natsu, Erza, Cana, and Bisca asked, confused.
"Reassigned?" Erza asked. "What do you mean by that?"
Wendy looked at her. "Well, since we defeated Twilight Ogre, there aren't anymore gangs left in this part of Fiore."
"So?" Natsu asked. "Doesn't that mean you get to relax?"
Lucy looked at him. "No. That means that we have to go to different parts of Fiore to take on more gangs. Being reassigned to other places."
"What?" Cana asked. "Don't you get to decide if you keep this up?"
"Of course not," Gray said with a shrug. "But whatever."
"That's not fair!" Bisca said.
"Exactly," Wendy said.
They all looked at her.
"So what happens to you, then?" Natsu asked.
"Honestly, probably nothing," Wendy said. "Right?" She looked at the officer nearby.
The officer nodded. "Chances are, you aren't going to be reassigned unless you absolutely have to be-we might have you stay around for patrols, though. But besides that…"
"We're all getting split up," Asteria said.
The officer looked at her. "Exactly."
"But-" Bisca started.
"There's no room for argue with this!" the officer said, then sighed. "It's getting later-probably time for you all to head home. The plans for leaving are almost finalized at the moment-just a few more bits and pieces here and there, but those should be resolved by tomorrow." He looked at Lucy, Gray, Juvia, and Asteria. "Start packing your bags-you'll be leaving as soon as we can get you guys to."
"But what about your families?" Cana asked.
"What families?" Gray asked.
"Are you serious?!" Bisca and Cana yelled at the same time.
"You thought that we had families?" Lucy asked, shaking her head. "They're gone."
"W-What happened to them?!" Natsu asked.
"Can you continue this conversation on your ways home?" the officer asked.
They all looked at him and nodded, then left the building.
Lucy glared at Natsu. "Not everyone has a loving family, you know-at least, I hope you know that. We don't have families-we're in foster care, actually."
"Seriously?" Erza asked.
"Well, technically, we are, but at the same time, we aren't," Gray said, pulling at the collar of his shirt a little. "But whatever. Let's just go home."
One week later…
Wendy stood in front of her friends' house-well, old house.
Asteria had been the first to move out-an aunt of hers had taken her in, apparently.
Gray had been next-someone that he had grown up with had convinced their parents to look after him.
Juvia had cried non-stop for the next three days until she had been taken in by a new foster family-all the way across Fiore, it seemed.
And today was Lucy's turn.
"Don't go," Wendy said quietly, tears in her eyes.
Lucy was holding her suitcase, and she looked at Wendy, clearly sad. "I have to."
"But...please?" Wendy said as she began to cry a little.
Lucy carefully wiped away Wendy's tears, tears of her own forming in her eyes. "I promise that we'll see each other again-after all, can we even think about keeping Gray and Juvia apart?" She chuckled a little, but she was clearly still sad.
"But how long?" Wendy asked.
Lucy sighed. "I don't know. But someday-promise!"
"If you're sure…" Wendy said.
"Positive!" Lucy said just as a car pulled up. A woman stepped out, waving to Lucy.
"Who's that?" Wendy asked.
"My new foster mom," Lucy said, then gave Wendy a quick hug. She pulled away, then ran to the car, getting into the back seat. The car drove away a few seconds later, leaving Wendy standing in front of her friends' old house.
Wendy began to cry really hard.
"Don't cry." She felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see…
"Natsu?" Wendy asked. "Erza?"
Natsu and Erza pulled her into a hug, comforting the blue-haired girl as she began to cry harder.
With Asteria…
Asteria sat on her bed in her aunt's house, already deciding that she didn't like it here.
I wanna go back, Asteria thought, then laid back on her bed. And just to make everything worse, Auntie wants me to take a stupid test to see if I actually need to continue High School-I mean, I already know everything else that I'm going to be taught, and I'm probably going to be working for the police during college, but still! What a pain.
"Asteria!" her aunt called. "Time to go!"
"Give me a minute!" Asteria called back, then got out of bed, slipping on a pair of torn jeans, a plain white shirt, a leather jacket, and combat boots. She put a loose hat on her head and walked out of her room, sticking her phone in her pocket.
With Gray…
"I'm going out!" Gray yelled, making sure he had his shirt on as he ran out of the house.
"Make sure you're back by suppertime!" Lyon's mom yelled, but Gray wasn't listening.
Because he had an idea.
With Juvia…
Juvia didn't even bother telling anyone that she was heading out-she just left the house, making her way to the library.
I'm going to study hard, then go to college in Magnolia! Juvia told herself. That way, maybe we can all meet up again! She smiled shyly. I hope that Gray has the same thoughts as me-I miss him so much already. She shook away her thoughts, then began to walk faster.
And that's it for this chapter! What did you think?
I'm positive that the next chapter is going to be the last-and I should be updating that and ending this fanfiction by early tomorrow-but I can't make any promises.
Until next time!
Lunetheart out.
