Hey, it's been some time... I know I said I'd update soon but life isn't what I expected it to be. I've, as usual, been out of the writing mood, and have recently been feeling mild cases of depression. Don't get me wrong, I love my life. But at night, when I feel like nothing is worth doing, it feels really saddening.

Anyway, on a happier note: I'm not dead! Just really, really depressed... It's not too much of a better alternative, but at least it's somewhat better. Anyway, I changed the story's plot completely, and I plan on starting another story soon that I'm actually super excited to do. I've been inspired by history and it's given me an idea for a really sad story that'll make you guys cry.

MWAHAHAHA, I'm so evil, I know. No, it won't make you cry unless your super sensitive, so it'll make most people on fanfiction cry. Just kidding.

Anyway, I'll talk more at the ending. I don't want to keep you guys waiting, if anyone is reading.

Stars Were Meant For Light; Chapter 12: Rememberence

3 months later…

Lucy's P.O.V

I looked down at the lake in front of me, remembering that the simple things in life can be the most beautiful things of all at some points. With this in mind, it reminded me that other complex things in life can be the most beautiful as well.

Crossing my arms in front of me with my head down and my back against the ever-so-gentle bark of a tree, I remembered the events that occurred months ago. There were happy times, like when Sting and I had spent the day together, and sad times, like when Minerva had stepped in and ruined everything, or how the Grand Magic Games had an abrupt stop in the celebrations due to the Eclipse Plan.

Life had changed. With Sting as Sabertooth's new guild master, and Minerva out of the picture, things weren't like they were expected to be. Never once since the Games had we – Sting and I – met up. Along with that, not once had we contacted each other, or once had I heard something new about him.

It wasn't that my feeling for Sting had changed – he was still in that special place I my heart where I reserved for family, like my mother and father, Michelle, Fairy Tail, and many others. But my feelings for him hadn't exactly stayed the same either. It was as if my feelings for him had grown.

All sadness aside, Fairy Tail was now ranked as contender for Fiore's number one guild. Though our brief victory of winning in the Grand Magic Games brought our reputation back, much of it was still to be re-earned – if that made sense.

Natsu and the others were just as happy as ever, Gramps was just as perverted as ever, and even Porlyusica had a smile or two appear on her old wrinkled face. Things should've felt like normal – except they didn't, there was something missing.

I turned, pushing myself off the tree, and looking up at the sky.

"It's almost time for your departure, Lucy." I rotated my body and found Horologium.

"Time for what?"

"You couldn't have forgotten already, Lucy – your train leaves in about ten minutes." It took me a little for everything to settle in.

"Ten minutes… TEN MINUTES! Horologium, why didn't you remind me earlier?" I was in total panic.

"Well, I did. You just waved your hands saying you start on your way to the station in five minutes. That was exactly fifty-four minutes and thirty three seconds ago."

I was about to defend myself before I realized that I would miss my train if I didn't start sprinting to the train station. Horologium did me the favor of returning to the Spirit World while ran like it was the end of the world.

I had been in Clover Town doing a mission, a simple one. The team had gone on a different mission while I was sick, and weren't back from it. But that wouldn't have stopped me from leaving town after four days in bed. So I had taken a simple mission to retrieve a stolen painting for the "Clover Town Museum of Art." It was one of the easiest ten-thousand jewels I had made in a while.

Afterwards, I had come to the forest to think about my life, and simply lost track of time.

I was almost out of breath when the station came into sight, and words "Last chance to get aboard!" rang in my ears.

"WAIT!" I yelled as I approached the man while pulling my ticket out of my pocket. As I went into the final stretch, the man grabbed the ticket as I fell to the ground.

Panting, I got back up and looked at the man. I gave him a hopeful look that was soon to be crushed by his words.

"Ma'am, this train just left a minute ago."

"Excuse me?" I said as if it was the worst thing I had ever heard, which it was certainly high up the list.

"The train – train fourteen – just left for Magnolia."

My heart sunk. "Why does this always happen to me?" I asked myself, though the man looked at me as if I was asking him.

He gave me a pitiful look and sighed. "Ma'am, I'm normally not supposed to do this, but I'll make an exception for a pretty young lady like you. The next train going straight to Magnolia isn't for two days. I can get you on another train in an hour that will make a few stops."

I smiled wholeheartedly at the man. "That would be nice." I gave him my utmost thanks as he handed me the ticket for exchange of my old one. I looked down to see what stops were on the ticket. My eyes stopped at a certain town name:

Al'Sabe.

Okay, I know this was pretty short, but it felt like such a good cliffhanger. Anyhow, I don't want to leave you guys completely clueless, so I'll let you guys speculate with something.

As mentioned before, my family is from the Middle East, so I know some Arabic. Al'Sabe means "(The) Lion." I don't know if that's a good hint, but it's the best I got.

I'm just gonna let you guys read, and I'll try to update more is all. If you guys really want to know for some odd reason what's happening with my life, PM me, and I'll reply as soon as I can.

Lastly, don't forget to review, that's what makes me feel bad the most- when you guys review and I don't update. So if you want more story, you have to guilt trip me!

Anyway, bye guys.
