Okay guys, change of plans here. One of my reviewers, MavisChase suggested that I have Lucy meet with her father again. I was also toying with this idea, but now I've decided to bring it to fan fictionality. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

"Dear, Lucy

Meet me at the house tomorrow at noon. This is your last chance.

Your Father", I read out.

"Your not seriously gonna' go?" asked Natsu incredulously, "You said you never wanted to see him again!"

"Of course I'm not gonna' go; why would I?" I responded.

"Actually, I have an idea," said Erza, "Lucy, most of your possessions are still at that house. Knowing your father, he probably won't have been bothered to move them. I know you could afford to buy new clothes an all that, but this would save a lot of time and money. Here's my idea: While you go and talk to your father, we'll sneak in behind you guys and collect up all your possessions,"

"I'm not sure . . ." I replied, pondering the idea.

"Lucy, don't you remember the last mission we undertook?" said Erza, going full military mode, "It was an absolute success! Ans so will this one. I will distribute the code-words at once!"

And with that, she marched up to her room, presumably to come up with the "code-words". Jeez. At least I wasn't part of the mission this time.

"I guess it's not robbery if I'm taking back what's mine . . . "

THE NEXT DAY . . . . . . . .

"Quick! Hide guys!" I hissed, trying to warn them that my father had heard my knocking. The five crouched behind a head, blending in "perfectly" with their ninja outfits that Natsu had insisted on.

"Ah, Lucy. I've been expecting you. Let's put an end to all this foolish behaviour, shall we? Follow me to the study," he said, no trace of emotion in his voice, only a triumphant smile.

"He must think that I've failed," I thought to myself, trying to contain my anger.

I followed him into the house, taking extra care to kick a door-stop into place. I gave a silent thumbs-up to my friends from behind my back, before continuing up the stairs.

We sat down at the large oak table, in the study. Luckily, the study was on the top floor, too far away for my father to notice the slight sounds my friends were making.

"Well, well, well. You've come crawling back, like the snivelling, useless toad you are. I told it would happen, didn't I. Didn't I?" he repeated, a touch of steel coming into his voice.

He was too caught up in his "victory" to notice the noises growing louder from downstairs.

"Yes. Yes you did," I forced out of my mouth, looking down, not in remorse, but trying to hide my seething rage.

"And whatever happened to that career of yours? I'm going to win! What happened to that? It failed. As I said it would,"

DOWNSTAIRS . . . . . . .

"Of course she needs her teddy bear! Teddy bears are an instrumental part of life!" yelled Natsu.

"No she doesn't!" retorted Gray, "They're stupid!"

"I agree with Gray-sama!" squealed Juvia in excitement.

"I don't even know why we even tried to be quiet," muttered Levy.

"You know what! Shut up!" roared Gajeel, "Let's just take the teddy bear and that's that! Now, if we've got everything, let's go,"

Muttering under their breaths like chastened little children, they left the room quietly. As they all exited the house, Erza gave the "all-clear" signal, knocking on the side of the house three times in rapid succession.

UPSTAIRS . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"As I said it would," sneered my "father"

Suddenly, I heard three knocks on the side of the house. The all clear signal! Enough of this pretence!

"Actually, I'm not here to apologise. I'm here to tell that I won. I took up that contract, and I've sold the most copies any first edition manga ever has! I have a home, and friends! More than that, I have a life of fun, and opportunities. Something you would never have let me do. I'm here to tell you that the last few weeks of my life have been the best few weeks of my life. And really, I'm much happier than I ever could have been. So, no. You weren't right. I was. And now that I think you understand, I'm leaving for good," I thundered, watching his eyes grow further and further apart in shock. I ran out of the house, and away from my shell-shocked "father", no, he wasn't my father.

As I thought, my friends were there, waiting for me.

"Operation: Get-Lucy's-Clothes-And-Other-Possessions-And-Also-Rant-At-Her-Dad-A-Bit-Because-He's-Mean was a success!" saluted Erza.

"We even brought your teddy bear!" shouted Natsu, holding it up.

"Thanks guys," I replied, still calming myself down.

"What about your father?" asked Levy, "We heard you shouting but -"

"That man, is no longer our concern," I said, through gritted teeth.

"Glad to hear it," said Gray.

"So . . . what now?" asked Levy.

"Now? Now, we've got work to do,"

And there you have it! Another chapter! Don't worry though, there shall be another one! (At least one more) I hope you enjoyed reading! Thank you to all those who reviewed and followed+favourited. The next chapter will be . . . . some point in the future but until then . . Bye, I guess.

P.S: Has anyone read any really good FT fan fictions lately, I'm dying to read something?
