A/N: This is my first Fairy Tail Fanfiction so I hope you guys like it. I'm a huge NaLu fan!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.

Everyone turned to stare at the source of the crash in pure shock. There in the center of the guildhall was Natsu with his fist through the table he had been sitting at.

"Natsu?" Lisanna asked in almost a whisper. She was afraid of what the she saw on the dragon slayer's face. For the first time ever, he looked utterly defeated. Nobody dared to say anything more.

"How could she leave us?" Natsu softly stated. He didn't understand why she would leave the guild, why she would leave their family, but most of all why she would leave him. How could she think she didn't belong here? She was the light of Fairy Tail, didn't she know that. She was his light. Natsu turned and walked out of the guild then, and to everyone's surprise Levy followed him.

"Natsu!" Levy called after him, effectively stopping the broken dragon slayer. Anyone else he might have ignored, but if anyone could answer his questions it was Levy. She was the only person in the whole guild who was as close, if not closer to Lucy. He at least thought they were close. Then again if they were so close then why did she leave him! He tried to brush back the tears he felt coming as the script mage caught up to him.

"Natsu, can we go some place to talk?" Levy carefully asked the pinkette. She could clear as day see the pain he was feeling. She didn't fully understand it either. She knew he would be upset, but this was more than she ever expected. Especially with the way things had seemed to be the last couple of weeks between Natsu and Lucy. She almost thought, like Lucy, that Natsu had completely forgotten about the Blonde in pursuit of his new budding romance.

Natsu just nodded his head and followed her when she started walking down the street. He didn't know if he could form words right now without completely breaking down. He felt so lost and broken now. He didn't even know what to say anyway, so he let her lead him forward. It wasn't until she suddenly turned and stopped that Natsu realized where Levy wanted to talk. She had brought him to Lucy apartment, or what used to be her apartment he guessed.

"W..why did y..you bring me h..h..here?" Natsu stuttered out around the lump in his throat. As he stared up at the window he always used to climb through. He didn't think he could go in there and see the empty apartment. He knew it would be his undoing.

"You'll see." Levy told him. She knew this seemed cruel, but she needed him to see the one thing that Levy knew without a doubt that Lucy had probably left behind. Levy knew it was the reason that Lucy gave her the key and told her the apartment was settled until the end of the month. She pulled out the key then and opened the door.

Natsu could almost pretend that letter was a bad dream, and Lucy was just out on a mission. That was until he stepped into her apartment. The place was completely bare of everything but a few pieces of furniture. She was gone. She had left just like the letter said, and she had no intention of coming back. He wanted to curl up right there on her floor and just cry until he withered away. His best friend, his partner, his light, was gone. He watched as Levy walked over to Lucy's old desk and opened a drawer. She seemed to pull out two books. One looked like Lucy's novel, but the other was bigger.

"What are those?" He asked. He couldn't seem to move from beyond the entrance. He just couldn't deal with seeing the rest of the place so empty. He watched as Levy put Lucy's novel in her bag, but the other one she walked over and handed to him.

"What's this?"

"Just take it home and look at it." She told him. "When you're done, come find me at Magnolia Park."

Just like that she left, telling him to lock up as he left. So much for talking now, he thought. He turned and locked the door before gathering his courage and heading toward the window. He jumped down and ran for his place. He guessed if he wanted answers then he would start with this book.

(With Lucy)

She sat in the living room of the client's house, writing in her journal. She knew that by now the Master had probably read her letter to everyone. It was a poor way to say goodbye, but she knew that she would never have been able to leave if she said goodbye in person. Lucy put her pen down and held up her hand with her Fairy Tail mark. Fairy Tail would forever be a part of her, but it was time for her to find where she belonged.

"Lucy dear!" Ambrosia called.

"Coming!" Lucy called back, getting up and setting her journal down. Ambrosia Dalesworth was her client. She was a wealthy heiress that lived in Oshibana Town. Her family was part of the railroads in some way.

"What can I do for you Ms. Dalesworth?" Lucy asked with a bow.

"Lucy, first off it's Ambrosia please, and secondly stop bowing. I'm an heiress yes, but I'm still just another person. You better than anyone know that." Ambrosia smiled.

This made Lucy blush. Of course this heiress would know Lucy Heartfilia, but she didn't think she would recognize that Lucy of Fairy Tail was the same. She was at a loss for words. Thankfully she didn't have to be for too long.

"I need you to go in to town the day after tomorrow and pick up a package for me please. It's a gift from an old friend of mine. Oh and I need to request your services for a little longer if you don't mind, the doctor thinks I need to take an extra week to heal." Ambrosia requested.

"I don't mind at all, and I'd be happy to go into town for you." Lucy knew that Ambrosia hated being weak like this, but she also knew that Ambrosia took her recovery very seriously. She knew Ambrosia wanted to be on her feet again as soon as possible to start her new magic training. She was already a wind wizard, but now she would be training with earth upon recovery.

"I'm going to take a nap. Please wake me when dinner is ready."

"Of course Ms...I mean Ambrosia." Lucy corrected before taking her leave back to the living room. She couldn't believe how nice she found Ambrosia to be. She really thought that this job was going to be more complicated and aggravating, but Ambrosia hardly ever asked for help. Just to bring her food and drink, help her to the bathroom, and run the occasional errand. Well at least so far. It has only been a day.

(Time Skip: Dinner Time at the Dalesworth Manor)

"Ambrosia, time for dinner." Lucy announced walking into wake her. Ambrosia sat up already having been awake for a little while.

"Lucy, eat with me please. I'm feeling kinda lonely tonight." Ambrosia requested.

"I know the feeling." Lucy replied remembering the reason she was here. It took everything she had not to break down all over again. She could do that on her own time later, but for now she would give Ambrosia the best company she could give her.

For the next hour the two of them talked. They told each other stories of times with their magic and they shared the pain of disliking the obligations of being born into wealthy families. They also shared the sorrows of losing their families too soon. By the time they had finished their food and their stories the girls had tears in their eyes.

"Goodness is it that late already?" Ambrosia asked looking at the clock on her bedside table. "I must be getting to bed. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow to discuss the rest of my bedrest. I'll see you in the morning Lucy."

"Goodnight Ambrosia." Lucy grabbed the dinner tray and headed for the kitchen. After washing the dishes, to the utter outrage of the maid, Lucy headed to her room. She went straight to the bathroom and prepared herself a bath. She let the worries of the day ease as she soaked the hot water. She felt her muscles slowly relaxing.

After spending thirty minutes in the water, with it going cold and her turning pruney, she got ready for bed. She prayed tonight would be different then the previous night. She hoped to be able to sleep easy this time.

After laying there for about fifteen minutes, she knew her prayers went unanswered. She felt the tears come and saw a flash of golden light. She knew he would come, he always did. So she lifted the covers for him to slide in. He wrapped his arms around her and let her cry herself to sleep in his arms once again.

"Goodnight Princess, I hope tomorrow is a better day." Loke whispered to his master as he himself drifted off to sleep.

(Back with Natsu)

Natsu made it to his house and locked the door. If this was a gift for him from Lucy then he didn't want to be disturbed while opening it. He sat on his bed with the book on his lap. Just looking at the front, he already felt tears prick his eyes. The book was black with gold trim, and on the front were two overlapping Fairy Tail symbols in pink and red. Their colors.

Slowly Natsu opened the book. The first page held a picture of him and Lucy on the day that she joined Fairy Tail. She was holding up her mark next to his. Now he understood what this gift was. It was a scrapbook, and he guessed it was of him and Lucy judging by the cover and the picture. He tried to prepare himself as he turned the page, but with just a glance found it impossible. There on the next page was the two of them at the guildhall before their first mission together. Lucy was in her maid outfit. He had to admit that she looked pretty cute. He remembered how much it had bothered him to hear Everlue call Lucy ugly. He turned the page, and blushed. It was a picture of their beach vacation that Loke had given them after Lucy saved him. Except he noticed she had just the two of them together. He kept going, and each picture was a different memory of theirs. Every single one was such a beautiful and happy time in their history together.

When he got to the last page though, what he saw made him drop the book.
