Briiiing! Briiiing! Briiiing!
Lucy woke up to the sound of her alarm clock ringing. She looked at the time with blinking eyes and fell out of bed.
Lucy swore. It was 5:45 and she needed to be AT the train station in 15 minutes! She ran to the bathroom to quickly shower and then grabbed a granola bar. Then she grabbed one of the keys from her belt. "Gate of the Maiden, I open thee! Virgo!"
Virgo bowed and asked "punishment princess?"
Lucy sweat dropped. "Not today Virgo. I need you to please store my stuff in the celestial realm." Lucy pointed to the bags she had packed with the stuff for her journey. Virgo bowed and picked up the luggage and went back to the celestial spirit realm. Then Lucy rushed to put on an outfit. Since she was reinventing herself, she decided to reinvent her outfit too. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a striped halter top. Then she pulled on some sneakers and her purse and ran out the door for the last time.
Short timeskip
Out of breath, Lucy stood panting at the train station. She checked the clock. She still had a few more minutes before the train boarded, so she took the chance to sit down at a bench. After she caught her breath, she looked around for Juvia who was supposed to already be here. All of a sudden, someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, Lucy-san!" A familiar voice chirped. Lucy jumped a little before turning to the blunette behind her.
"Hey Juvia." Lucy replied with a smile. "Where are we going first?" Juvia shuffled through her purse where she had stuffed the missions. She pulled some out and showed them to Lucy.
"There's a job in Shirotsume town. It has a mountain and forest in it where we can train." Juvia said, looking back up at Lucy. "Then there is also one in Hargeon, as well as in Cedar."
Lucy thought for a second. "Well, since it's close, we could do the one in Hargeon, keep going until we reach Acalypha to stock up on supplies, then go to Cedar. After that we can go to Shirotsume and train a bit. When we're ready to do some more traveling, we can pass through Rosemary village on our way to Crocus, to get more jobs and supplies. As well as for the fact that the capital is surrounded by terrain that is good for training." She looked at Juvia. "What do you think?"
Juvia nodded. "Juvia thinks this is a great idea. But it won't be possible if we don't get on the train!" She laughed and picked up the luggage she brought with her as she turned towards the boarding train.
"Right." Lucy said as she hurried to catch up with her water mage friend.
A.N. I would like to thank you for all of the positive feedback I received, as well as all the favorites and follows. It made me really happy. I would like to write professionally one day, but I thought I'd do this as a fun little hobby. However, it means a lot that you like it, because I didn't even think anyone would really read it. I would especially like to give a shout out to the Guest reviewer (I'm sure you know who you are) who said this was the first Lucy leaves story she likes. I agree that them leaving on bad notes and such isn't probable (I just read it because it's an interesting story plot to me). I agree with the rest of what you said as well, but overall I'm touched you liked it so much. And I'm extra happy you told me. For future reference, the next story is about Lucy and Wendy. After that it might be Lucy and Mirajane or Lucy and her girl friends. I honestly don't know yet. Anyway, tell me what you think in the reviews, as well as ideas for future books/chapters if you have any. I may or may not need O.C. characters (I haven't decided), but keep some suggestions in mind if I do please. Have a nice day/night! Thanks!
