"Natsu?"

"Yeah." Answered Natsu with that goofy grin of his and as Lucy turned on more lights it was revealed to be team Natsu with Levy, Gajeel, Mira, Laxus, Makarov, Wendy, Charla and Lily.

"What's going on?"

"Well it's a long story."

Lucy looked them as though they had grown a second head. The look of utter and pure disbelief soon turned into anger. Lucy stormed over to Natsu and slapped him across the face. Her eyes blazed with anger as she slapped him again, and then ran into the bathroom to release her newly found tears of anger. Happy shook his head and went over to the door and knock lightly on the door. The door opened just a crack to let Happy in and slammed shut once he was in. The rest of the people in the apartment looked down in sadness but they decided to sit down and wait for Lucy to come out of the bathroom. The only one left standing was Natsu as he held of looked of pure shock. He shook his head a little and walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. He heard a grunt and began to explain things.

"Lucy please listen there is more going on than you realize and I wish I could tell you everything but I just can't even though it is a long story all I can tell you is that in order to insure that you remain safe was for us to act like we no longer cared about you so that way you could be free to become the strongest celestial mage to walk the earth, without the interruption of the guild getting involved with your training. Please Lucy open the door and hear us out." Natsu's voice broke toward the end of his explanation.

Lucy slowly opened the door and signaled for him to continue even though it was evident that she was not in the mood to hear a lot of their tale. Natsu glanced at Levy and she began to speak and hoped the Lucy would understand.

"Lu-chan we are deeply regretful for what we have done and I know that no amount of apologizing will work but have to believe us that we honestly thought it was the only way to keep you safe." Levy spoke her voice full of regret

Lucy in response only stared at them. They fidgeted under her intense gaze but remained in her apartment. Happy looked between and glared at the others. His ears twitched in annoyance but remained quiet. The room filled with and uncomfortable silence as they all pondered what to do next. Wendy decided to heal Lucy's wounds as the silence began to become deafening. As Wendy approached Lucy flinched away in fear and pain. Wendy just let her gaze fall to the floor and she went to the other side of the room.

Finally the silence was broken by Lucy. "I need to be left alone for a while to think. I can't say I forgive because I can't not now and I'm not sure if I will be able to because I felt like I did when I lived with my father unwanted and unloved. I don't think I can live with that so please just leave me alone for the next couple of days and then we will go from there."

They nodded their heads in agreement and they all filed out except for Happy who Lucy clung to. Happy glanced up at Lucy to see tears streaming down her face. He licked her hand as a way of comfort and she looked down at him with a smile. He smiled back and they both went to bed.

…

The next day at the guild no one cared that Lucy was no longer in the guild and seemed ecstatic about it but team Natsu was not. They were depressed but put on a front to keep their guild mates at bay. They watched as Mira tried to act happy about the situation but she couldn't and Makarov locked himself in his office and didn't come out.

"Man this sucks I want to see Lucy." Natsu mumbled under his breathe

"I know but we have to respect her wishes." Erza stated solemnly

"I just wish the guild would realize that they…." Gray got cut off by Lisanna sitting next to him

"Hey guys ready to go on a new mission without that traitor." Lisanna was way too cheery for their liking and were about to answer when a soft giggling voice was heard by them and they glanced at Levy, Mira, Laxus, Gajeel, Wendy and the exceeds. They nodded their heads signaling they heard it too. Team Natsu quickly got up ignoring the protest coming from Lisanna.

They quickly left the guild in search of that giggle and came across a Black Butterfly. The butterfly in question was the one giggling. It soon turned to face them and they came face to face with the fairy that told them not tell Lucy everything that was going on. She had ash grey skin, bright almost glowing indigo eyes with purple hair and black butterfly wings. She was six inches tall and kept moving around. They greeted her with a glare.

"Now don't be like that I just wanted to visit my friends." Said the fairy

"We are not your friends and stop moving it gets annoying." Snapped Gajeel

She released a huff and stopped moving. She sighed and flew into Natsu's face to get a good look into his eyes. She tilted her head then released a giggle. Natsu in return glared at her but she just kept on giggling.

"What's so funny fiary?" growled out Natsu

"You and your emotion that has yet to reveal itself to you." She soon bent over laughing and it irritated them more.

"Stop laughing fairy this is not a laughing matter." Makarov stated as he barely swallowed a growl forming in his throat.

She stopped and sent him a glare that could freeze the sun. The held back a shiver and glared right back. She flew over their heads and sat down on a branch. They watched as she started mumbling and not making any sense to them. Soon she grew silent and stared at them.

"I know that Makarov that is why I wanted you to supposedly kick Lucy out of the guild." Her voice was serious

"Why? What does this have to do with Lu-chan?" Levy asked in desperation

"I don't want to." Came the fairy's blunt reply

"And why not?" snapped Laxus

"It's a secret." After those three words she flew off leaving them more frustrated than ever but in their head they heard her voice. "Go visit Lucy she's calmer now and is ready for training."

They looked at each other and released a snort. They quickly walked over to Lucy's apartment to see the lights on and Happy flying around and what appeared to be Lucy chasing him. They all smiled and reached for the door to her home ready to take Lucy by force if necessary to train her and hopefully save her.

This is also rushed and I'm sorry I just had too many thoughts going on in my head that I had to get most of them down. So what do all of you think the secret is and how intense you want Lucy's training to be. Please let me know in a review and thank you for reading, following, favoring, and reviewing. Bye bye :D
