New storyline: When Natsu thinks back to look at the guild, he feels out of place, like someone has taken his place and fame. Natsu seems like a newcomer to the guild. Maybe it's because he left? Natsu will soon find out why everyone likes the person taking his fame.
Lol, now that was probably the WORST storyline I've ever done! Like really, I probably know who everyone is guessing, but I'm not going to tell! *giggles like a 4 year old*
Enjoy the story!
What happened earlier:
-10 drinks later-
"I'll beat *hic* Natsu and the others *hic*," Lucy said drunkenly.
"Sure ya *hic* will! I'm a *hic* pro….." Natsu passed out.
Gray laughs. "Now that's *hic* what I call funny *hic*," He said drunkenly, making the rest laugh.
About 5 more drinks later, Juvia and Gray passed out on the floor landing on Natsu somehow with a thump. This made Jellal, Lucy and Erza laugh a little crazily.
"Even though *hic* you're both of my *gulp* friends.. *pausing to think then light bulb again* I will beat you!" Jellal said competitively.
Erza and Lucy just laughed it off like it was child's play, making Jellal just growl from getting underestimated.
A couple minutes pass as they sit in silence…Then soon enough, Jellal passes out of the blue, making the 2 girls laugh, then sharply look at each other in rival mode.
"You're going down, Scarlet! *hic*" Lucy glared at Erza.
"Says the blonde! *hic*" Erza said, basically accepting the challenge.
"You two, please don't go overboard on the drinks!" Mira pleaded, but was ignored. This made her sulk as she kept watching her rival and her best friend drink.
Lucy looked over at Erza who was ready to pass out. "Haha, you're going to loseeeeeeeeee!" Lucy laughed, getting a glare from Erza.
"In your dreammmmmmms," Erza stood up from out of her chair, wobbly, with a beer bottle still in her hand.
"Yooou…wanna go!" Lucy got out of her chair wobbly, and stood in front of Erza with 2 beer bottles in her hand, smirking.
"Yeaaaaaa!" Erza tried to say without losing focus.
Lucy wobbled her way to Erza. "Eveennnn….though….though…..LUCY FALL!" Lucy shouted, purposely falling on Erza so she could win. Erza fell unconscious. But in the end, Lucy passed out 1 minute later, trying to get off of Erza, but failing miserably.
Mira sighed, "Well it's time to post the scores for the drinking contest at the bar and wait till they wake up," Mira said, writing down the scores. Then, she ended up sleeping in one of the bar chairs.
Drinking scores!
1st place: Lucy Heartfilia with a score of 17 beers, passing out 1 minute later after Erza.
2nd place: Erza Scarlet with a score of 16 beers, getting knocked out by Lucy falling on her purposely to win.
3rd place: Jellal Fernandez with a score of 15 and a half beers since he never got to finish his, passing out of the blue.
To everyone else you all lost, come drink again next time! ~Mira :)
-I think everyone just wants to skip to the morning part. It is now 5:00 AM-
Natsu, Gray, Juvia and Jellal wake up first.
"My head is spinning.. am I on transportation?" Natsu grabbed his stomach weakly.
"We're still at the guild?" Jellal said, looking around.
"Well, I wonder what happened last n-" Gray looked over at the 2 girls who were lying on top of each other.
"Gray-sama, what is it?" Juvia followed Gray's gaze, only to make her faint.
Then Jellal and Natsu look over to see with their mouths gaping open.
"Oh…" Natsu said.
"My…" Jellal finished for Natsu.
"Fucking god!" Gray screamed in horror, waking up the 2 girls.
"Uh…what happened?" Lucy rubbed her head, not seeing what was underneath her.
"I don't know, but I think I'm being pinned by something," Erza said with her eyes closed.
Then Gajeel comes out of nowhere. "And to think that I thought you girls were straight. Hahaha!" Gajeel laughed his ass off.
The guys laughed with him, only to be getting confused faces from Lucy and Erza.
"We don't know what you're talking about," Erza spoke for Lucy.
"Lucy is…..ON TOP OF YOU!" Natsu screamed horrifyingly. "She should be on top of me! Wait, what the hell!" He screamed inside his head.
Lucy looked down and Erza opened her eyes to look up only to see….
"LUCY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON TOP OF ME?" Erza screamed.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW?" Lucy screamed back, jumping off of Erza as they blushed in embarrassment.
Lucy looked at the bar to see Mira sleeping. Lucy smirked evilly. "REVENGE, Mira! For all the times you tried to pair me up with the guys, even the master!" She said to herself, creeping up on Mira.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" Natsu asked.
Lucy shushed Natsu as she went behind Mira.
-Natsu's POV-
I asked Lucy what she was doing since she was walking slowly up to Mira from behind, and all I got was a "shhhhhh". So I started to progress this through my mind a bit….Did she go to fucking shhhhhh-ing school? Cause I swear, that was like a perfect shhhh. Like really, I couldn't even do that good of a shhhh, it would turn out to be like spit flying everywhere…..
-Normal POV-
Everyone looked at Lucy who approached Mira from behind, who was getting closer to her ear.
"Natsu and I….." Lucy slithered her voice so no one could hear, only Mira who wanted to listen in. She twitched her ear a bit, smirking with her head in her arms.
"Are…." Lucy slithered once again, making a cliffhanger in her voice, only to get a hyper Mira smiling crazily.
"Are best friendssss," Lucy giggled evilly, awaiting for the reply she's going to get.
Mira shot up and tackled Lucy with a "smack" from the wooden floor.
"LUCY!" Mira shook Lucy's shoulders violently like a rag doll.
Lucy tried to open her mouth, but even if she did say something Mira would cut her off.
"You tricked me!" Mira said, sobbing and still shaking Lucy's shoulder's violently, only to get a "Aye" in reply from the half dead Lucy.
Everyone felt bad for their blonde friend getting a slight beating from a whispering incident that she just caused. This was probably making Mira eat her soul right away, scolding her then slamming Lucy's head on the floor about 5 times but with medium strength.
"Someone….h-" Lucy got cut off by Mira dragging her to the back room.
"Don't worry, just need to bandage her up, if you know what I mean!" Mira smiled innocently, giving chills down everyone's back. For they all knew how scary she could get.
"Lucy, have a fun time!" Happy said, waking up in a corner and flying over to everyone.
"Don't worry, Lucy! I'll prepare the funeral arrangements!" Juvia said happily "No one goes near my Gray-sama!" She said to herself.
"Bunny girl's not gonna make it!" Gajeel laughed, only to get Natsu's questionable face as they heard Lucy giggling, crying then screaming in patterns. Poor Lucy….
"What is it, flame brain?" Gray asked.
"Why does Mira hate Lucy?" Natsu asked, standing up and walking towards the bar.
Everyone laughed except for Juvia.
"You really got us good with that one! You should already know Mira doesn't hate Lucy, she just doesn't like it when she messes up her matchmaking!" Erza said, standing up as well and noticing the score sheet.
"Ohhhhhh….." Natsu said. "Since when does Lucy try to mess up Mira's matchmaking?" Natsu thought. Then, he looked at the score sheet.
"Jellal, come over here!" Erza gestured, getting a nod in return. Following him were Juvia, Gray, Gajeel and Happy.
Lucy tried escaping out of the door, sliding her lifeless body across the floor. She screamed out, "Someone quick! Help me!" But got ignored as Mira pulled her back in, making Lucy scream a long "Not againnnnnnnnn!".
"I lost!" Natsu, Gray and Juvia shouted, collapsing to the ground and sulking.
"3rd place! Nice, but passing out of the blue wasn't in my plan. Though, I did have a good time. What about you, Erza?" Jellal asked excitedly.
"2nd place! Lucy fell on top of me purposely so she could win!" Erza raged, making everyone cower in fear.
"But you did have a good time, I mean come on, remember Natsu passing out?" Jellal tried to cheer up Erza.
Erza laughed. "That was hilarious!" She said, smiling.
Everyone had forgotten about poor Lucy. Let's see what they're up too
-Lucy and Mira-
"So? You like to mess up my matchmaking mind just for fun? Huh?" Mira asked evilly.
Lucy stuttered "U-uh….of course not!" She cowered in fear, remembering the last time she interfered, nearly dying.
Mira was about to scold her some more until Lucy flipped a wooden table at Mira for a distraction to get out of the torture room (Lucy liked to call it that).
-To Lucy and everyone else-
More guild mates started to come in sober as ever and doing their daily things at the guild, but one shocker they won't forget is Lucy running out of the guild for dear life with a demonic Mira right behind her.
"Lu-chan's gone and done it again!" Levy said, looking at the doors of the guild, for she was long gone to be seen.
The guild laughed and continued with their daily lives again, forgetting the scene that just happened, leaving a dumbfounded Natsu still looking at the doors.
-About like an hour later-
Mira opened the guild doors skipping happily to the bar, since she got payback for getting messed with again.
The room went quiet when they saw Lucy wasn't there.
Then, everyone quietly discussed about Lucy, asking, "Maybe that was the final straw? Lucy actually got murdered.." One of them said, chuckling and making Natsu's ear twitch. "Nahhh, Lucy probably is tied up in her basement for torture!" Another guy laughed.
Natsu couldn't help but walk over to Mira since she was so giddy and happy.
"Hi, Natsu, what would you like today?" Mira smiled sweetly.
"Where's Lucy?" Natsu asked, since he was worried from when Mira smirked.
"Oh, she's just resting at home. She fell," Mira giggled.
"Oh…thanks, Mira! Let's go, Happy!" Natsu ran to the doors, but then stopped, for he didn't get an "Aye" or anything. "Probably with Lucy….like he always was for 2 years….." Natsu said to himself, running to Lucy's apartment.
-Lucy's apartment-
Lucy was wrapped in bandages from head to toe only leaving her eyes and nose see-able. Lucy woke up from a knock on her door. Lucy panicked since Natsu would never use the door, and it was probably Mira. "I'm going to die…!" Lucy panicked, trying to get out of the bed, but for some reason she couldn't…."I'm strapped in!" Lucy gave up struggling, only to muffle a slight "Hewo".
"Lucy, are you alright?" Natsu asked, opening the door for the first fucking time ever! This made Lucy just die in her bed.
Lucy tried to say something but couldn't talk. Lucy sighed sadly and pointed to her covered mouth, gesturing Take-this-damn-bandage-off-my-mouth-or-I-kill-you-with-a-sketchpad! According to Natsu.
So Natsu did what he was told. Then, Lucy gasped for air, making Natsu laugh. He earned a growl to shut him up.
"As you can see here, I'm a bit strapped in…." Lucy coughed out, chuckling half heartedly.
"Umm, how did you strap yourself in exactly?" Natsu asked, burning the straps off.
"I was knocked unconscious, then, next thing I know I'm strapped in!" Lucy complained.
"So you unconsciously strapped yourself in?" Natsu asked, making Lucy face palm.
"What a dumbass!" Lucy told herself, fake smiling. "Silly Natsu! *now in pissed off tone* Natsu, did you know that you're a fucking stupid/retarded dumbass? Because really, who taught you common sense? If it was Igneel, then I bet he was more stupid than you! However, I wouldn't be able to handle your stupid ass bullshit like Igneel did! I have no idea how he put up with your flaming ass everywhere! He probably gave you tons of precious things, but you burnt them all, since you were such a selfish dumbfuck!" Lucy snapped, stomping to the bathroom and leaving an angry Natsu about to explode.
Natsu didn't even bother to use the door again, because he would've probably ruined the downstairs. Hell, he didn't care if burnt it down to shreds, but before he left, he screwed her own room up. He dumped the drawers, emptied the bookshelf, and then ripped her precious novel apart before leaving. Igneel was very precious to him, and why would his best friend snap at him like that?
-Back to Lucy-
Lucy calmed down as she climbed out of the bath, not hearing the ruckus in her room from a. angry Dragon Slayer. She was ready to apologize when she got out. She though he would wait, but she was dead wrong. Lucy stopped dead in her tracks, looking at her room. "What happened to my room?" Lucy yelled, starting to clean up her room and finding her wardrobe completely burned to ash. "NATSU, YOU FUCKER!" Lucy yelled, collapsing to her knees. Lucy then thought to call out Virgo, for she was the only one that saved her in her clothing disasters.
"I am linked to the path to the world of Celestial Spirits, now! O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate! Key of The Maiden Virgo! I summon thee!" Lucy called out with a poof of smoke coming.
"Princess, punishment?" Virgo asked.
"No! I need you to bring me a spare change of clothes, and help me with cleaning this up, please! I'm sorry I haven't called on you guys for a while, I've been busy," Lucy said, trying to be nice but ended up growling.
"Yes, Princess. I will be right back," Virgo said as she was gone in a poof again.
Lucy sighed, waiting. She had to admit, her towel was getting quite comfortable right now. Then, Virgo pops up again, scaring Lucy.
"I have brought a copy of your original clothes, Princess. Punishment?" Virgo asked.
"Fine! Your punishment is clean up this mess while I'm changing into my normal clothes. Got it?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, princess!" Virgo got to work.
Lucy took all of her bandages off, just so you know.
-Couple minutes pass when Lucy is getting changed into her non sleeping outfit. 7:00PM-
Lucy walked out and Virgo was already done, so she just went back to the spirit world.
Lucy sighed and sat on her bed. "Thanks, Virgo," She said smiling, then remembered there was a picture in Lucy's bathroom of her and Natsu posing peace signs together. Lucy smiled, then growled, taking the picture off the wall and going downstairs to the kitchen, since it was much safer. "Fine. Ruining my room = ruining our most precious possession! This picture!" Lucy yelled, throwing the picture and making glass shards fly everywhere. "I'll clean it up when I get home, but I need to speak to Mira about this before I lose my temper," She said, running out of her apartment and off to the guild.
-Well, you all heard the last sentence. To the guild!-
Mira was actually worried for Lucy, since she and Natsu haven't came back yet. It just didn't feel right. Something probably went wrong, or she was just thinking too much. Mira sighed, cleaning dirty mugs.
-Lucy walks through the guild doors normally, making her way to the bar-
"Lucy, it's nice to see you! Sorry about earlier, how are you?" Mira said, hugging the blonde tightly.
"Mira….I need to talk to you," Lucy said coldly.
Mira was shocked by Lucy's tone. "Y-yeah, go ahead!" She said, a bit taken back.
"Come with me…" Lucy said, serious, with her eyes going cold. She gestured to the back room.
Mira nodded and followed, getting stares from everyone.
-In the back room-
"So, Lucy, what d-" Mira said kindly, getting cut off by Lucy.
"I'll be leaving for a couple weeks for jobs," Lucy said.
"W-why?" Mira asked.
"Natsu has burned the inside of my house to ashes, making me need to pay for everything so I can replace the burnt stuff which I cleaned up earlier." Lucy's eyes darted around the room looking for something, not bothering Mira.
"Why would he do such a thing? I thought you were friends!" Mira exclaimed unhappily.
"I sort of snapped on him about Igneel….then he went into an all caps rage, destroying everything in the house that I owned except for the bathroom which I was in," Lucy explained.
Mira nodded. "You know he hated to leave Igneel just to see the guild again, right?" She said earning a nod from Lucy.
"I was going to say sorry, but then he trashed my room to call it even," Lucy frowned.
Mira sighed sadly, not wanting Lucy to go, but she did have to replace everything in her house from the ruckus Natsu caused from his shit storm. "Okay, Lucy, but be careful, and remember to leave a note in your house, okay?" Mira said.
Lucy put her hands on Mira's shoulders. "Mira, I'll be fine. Please don't worry about me. I can handle this myself. Please…" Lucy said as her eyes softened.
"Alright….I'll inform Master with this…. Please return safely!" Mira said, letting Lucy leave while a tear escaped her eye.
-Out of the back room-
Before Mira could see, Lucy grabbed some black cloth for her black cloak to not be seen by anyone, such as the so called straight stripper and the Strawberry cake deluxe girl.
Everyone saw Lucy grab about 10 long requests with a thick black cloak in her hand, walking out and saying her goodbyes. They didn't understand. What was she up to?
-Really, we're all sort of just following Lucy. Let's go! XD-
Lucy ran back to her house as fast as she could, since she didn't want to be seen by anyone she knew. She knew that they would always try to start a long conversation at the wrong time. Lucy finally then made it to her apartment, opening the door to see that everything was gone since it was burned to ash. Lucy sighed sorrowfully as she looked at the broken picture. "Bastard," Lucy hissed, running up to her room and getting her sewing machine from the bathroom cupboard. She then went to work on her cloak.
-To Natsu-
"I can't believe she just insulted Igneel! What kind of friend talks about your father like that, huh? I bet she doesn't know I came here to see everyone again, leaving my found father that I started training with!" Natsu raged, only ending up at the guild. "Looks like fate brings me here," Natsu said to himself, walking through the guild doors to see confused faces from the guild members.
"Hey, Natsu, what's up!" Macao asked, sitting with Wakaba and Cana.
"Nothing much, just stopping by!" Natsu said, walking over to the request board to see it half empty on the left side. "Wow! Looks like everyone has been working hard lately!" Natsu exclaimed, getting dark looks from the guild members. "What?" Natsu asked.
"Lucy took half of those…." Mira said appearing out of nowhere like usual, getting nods from the other guild members who were still looking at Natsu.
"WHAT? Is she crazy?" Natsu yelled.
"She said something about having to replace all her furniture!" Mira said, making Natsu take a few steps back in guilt, then getting angry.
"Why would you let her go? You knew we were a team, why didn't you stop her?" Natsu yelled.
Mira stood in her place calmly "Natsu…" She breathed. "Lucy is having a difficult time right now….she needs to think over things…I hope you will understand," Mira said, trying to comfort Natsu.
"No, I don't! How would I be able to understand? WE'RE A TEAM!" Natsu yelled, stomping out of the guild angrily.
Everyone sighed, thinking they could have done it easier.
-Lucy's probably finished her cloak. Let's see how she's doing before Natsu gets to her house!-
Lucy looked at her cloak. "Looks like sewing lessons do come in handy," She giggled to herself. Then, she began writing a note saying that she's leaving to go on missions for a couple weeks. "I should hurry up and walk. He's probably coming right now," Lucy said, hearing a knock on her window. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" She told herself, running to the bathroom and locking the door. She began hearing footsteps, and quickly she created a magic radio that had her voice in it, making her able to escape from the bathroom window.
"Hey, Luce, wait!" Natsu climbed through the window, running to the closed bathroom door and overhearing what was going on.
"Go away!" The radio with Lucy's voice on it said.
"No! I will not let you leave!" Natsu yelled.
"Seriously, go away!" The Lucy radio said.
"Huh?" Natsu confused.
"Don't come in!" The Lucy radio said.
"I was never going to in the first place," Natsu said.
"Leave my house! You're going to dessssss-" The Lucy radio died from lack of magical power.
"Lucy!" Natsu kicked the bathroom door open to see a magical radio fading away with a note appearing.
Dear Natsu!
You seem to have made a shit storm in my apartment, burning everything to ashes, so I have took half of the missions off of the request board to replace everything! Anyways, sorry for insulting your stupidity. I just guess I need some time alone if you know what I mean. I'll be safe, don't worry! I'll come back safe and sound. See ya later! Oh, and use the window, not the door….
From your favorite Dagger/Celestial mage,
Lucy
"I let her go on her own! And what's with not using the door? She usually tells me to use the door.. Unless, she's hiding something!" Natsu ran downstairs, ending up in the living room. "Nothing's here….unless.." Natsu said, walking to the kitchen and seeing glass shards on the floor. It all lead to the picture of Lucy and him took together on his last day. But why was it in shards? He cared for her…. As more than a friend. "Why did I let you go?" Natsu let a tear escape.
Lucy on the other hand watched Natsu through her windows as he went to the kitchen. He was looking shocked, and she saw a tear escape his eye. She felt so bad, but she needed time to think about things and restore her furniture. Lucy then left, running with her black cloak which Natsu had seen through the window. He began running out the door to chase it.
"Hey, come back!" Natsu ran after the black cloaked person.
"Later…" Lucy said sadly, jumping into the air and disappearing.
Natsu stood there motionless. "That was…Lucy…I need to tell Gray, Erza and Happy before she's gone for good!" He said, running to the guild, worried for his nakama...
Well, there we go! This chapter seemed longer than I expected, but I got some advice from ShiningStellar to make chapters longer, since I'm at school and doing a lot of work!
Hoped everyone liked the winners for the drinking contest! And the chapter of course!
See you guys next time!
Sincerely, Wolfsmiley :3
