Months went by with Lucy fallowing the same routine, burying herself in missions and training. Lucy became a solo mage, sometimes joining the members of Team Natsu on mission, even going with Cana and the Strauss siblings at times.

Rarely did she and Laxus see one another in the guild. When forced to cross paths they ignored one another. It was as if one did not exist to the other.

Laxus continued to carry on with his flings, and Lucy, although still hurt, felt the love she felt for him slowly dissipate with each woman, with each ignored encounter. It was like a campfire, blazing at first, before slowly going out.
