Prompt #3: Transformation
Summary: Remembering her old adventures makes her realize how much she has transformed because of him.
"Lucy!" A young girl shouted. Lucy turned to find Wendy running toward her.
"Hey, Wendy! What can I do for you?" Lucy asked. Wendy caught up to the blonde and stood there catching her breath for a minute.
"Natsu... He wanted me to give this to you." Wendy said after catching her breath. Wendy held out a folder. Lucy opened it to find the first request she did with Natsu and Happy. Find and destroy a book.
"That's right! I asked to see it!" Lucy said, remembering why she was teciving receiving it.
"Well, I'm going back to the guild. See you, Lucy!" Wendy said, waving at the blonde. She turned around and ran back off to return to the guild. Lucy waved back.
"This... I can't believe it's been so long since this." Lucy said to herself. She could remember it clearly. The first job she ever took.
Lucy could remember how they took that job. First, Natsu got her to join their team right after she said Celestial Mages never break promises. Second, Natsu shaped her a job. There was a caution about a pervy man who was recruiting blondes to be maids. She remembered screaming and wanting not to, but remembered she couldn't break her promos. What's worst is that Natsu and Happy we're only kidding about her infiltrating the mansion as a maid, but she went along with it. She recalled how she didn't want to destroy the book because she found out the author was her favorite. Lucy after immature then. They didn't complete the full job though, and didn't get paid.
What followed next was Natsu and Happy tricking her to go with them on an S-Class request. Well, more like making her go along for the reward of a golden key. When Gray tried to drag them back, they knocked him out and brought him along to a demon island. There, Gray faced his past, they (sort of) completed the job (after Erza arrived angry and ready to bring them back before Gray convinced her to help with the request), and the (sort of) destroyed the moon.
Next was the war against the guild Phantom Lord. Phantom attacked first, resulting in Fairy Tail attacking their guild hall, during of which Lucy got kidnapped. Natsu was the one who saved her. Of course, it didn't end there. Phantom Lord's mobile guild hall came. They destroyed the guild hall and managed to capture Lucy a second time. Natsu, once again saved her, and Lucy had the chance to save Natsu too. Then, Lucy found out her father caused it all.
Lucy went home. She had to talk to her father. She didn't expect to be followed by some mages though. When she got back, she was dolled up to reunite with her father, where she threatened to make him an enemy if he ever attacked the guild again and cut herself off from him. As she was leaving, Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy came running up to her in a panic. They were afraid she was leaving the guild.
Next was Erza being captured by her old friends. That was the first time she seriously thought her pink haired partner died. He had raced to save Erza from her best friend (and now love interest), Jellal, when the council used Etherion to blow up the tower they were in. When the smoke cleared, she saw lacrima where the tower was. Natsu brought it down.
Then came Laxus' betrayal. Right before this time, Gajeel and Juvia joined the guild, which now had 3 Dragon Slayers, though everyone thought it was 2 because the 3rd kept it a secret. Natsu and Gajeel took him down, while everyone elee took care of the floating lightning death traps that Laxus put up.
After that was Nirvana and the guild alliance. The dark guild Oracion Seis was the first Balam Alliance guild they fought. Fairy Tail won the fight with the help of the alliance they made. They met Wendy and Charla there, whose guild turned out to be full of ghosts. Jellal reappeared here with no memories. Jellal gave Natsu power to defeat Brain, though Natsu was still suspicious of him. Together, the guild alliance destroyed Nirvana, which was headed toward Wendy's guild. They went back to her guild, only to find out that the spirit of the master made everything up and Wendy lost her guild. She joined Fairy Tail.
Edolas came next. An alternate world where everyone and everything was the opposite. The guild disappeared, leaving only a few members behind, and the mages were turned into lacrima, which could only be destroyed by Dragon Slayer magic. Gajeel, Wendy and Charla, Natsu and Happy, and Lucy got there differently. They went on to save the mages, with a few bumps and bruises along the way. They returned with a couple extra than expected. First was Lily Panther. Gajeel's exceed. The second who returned was Lisanna, a Mage from Fairy Tail who was thought to be dead and Mira and Elfman's younger sister.
Next was Tenrou. There, the S-Class trails were held to find the next wizard who would upgrade to S-Class. Lucy remembered partnering with Cana for this. She helped Cana, who has previously failed 5 times, and they got close. Right as they figured it out, the island was attacked. Searching for Zeref, who was apparently on the island, Grimore Heart, the second dark guild in the Balam Alliance, attacked. Fairy Tail quickly put an end to it, after Natsu had a weird meeting with Zeref. Achnlogia attacked next, destroying the island. Only because of Mavis, the guild's creator and first master, did they survive.
They returned to Fairy Tail getting welcomes and cheering from who was left, which wasn't a lot. Lucy received birthday gifts from her father, who never believed she died. She forgave him. They joined the Grand Magic Games, starting off losing and being booed. When they gained momentum, they were in first place by the end of the second to last day. They found a Dragon graveyard, where Lucy got arrested and the learnt of the Eclispe Gate. Natsu and a few others raced to her rescue while the guild finished the Games, winning. They rescued Lucy and meet the Future Lucy, and the. future Rouge who tried to kill present Lucy. Future Lucy jumped in front, dying instead. Math makes Lucy leave before loses it and losing a fight against Rouge. The Eclipse Gate opened, letting out 7 dragons before Lucy closed it with spirits. Natsu destroyed the Gate and defeated Future Rouge, returning the Dragons to the past. Fairy Tail returned to their guild with cheers.
After that, Lucy's spirits went out of control. They turned evil. Natsu wouldn't give up and tried to save them, all for Lucy's sake. Natsu managed to save her spirits, resulting in Lucy finally realizing her feelings for Natsu.
When Lucy looked back on all this, she couldn't believe how much she had grown, how much she had transformed, all because of Natsu. She went from an immature girl to a woman in love. Being with Natsu, falling in love with Natsu, it has transformed her so much.
All of these experiences... They have caused a transformation in her.
