Hi all! The plot nekos decided because I wasn't writing the next chapter fast enough, they'd eat my brain. It HURTS! So, I consulted with cooperative ones, and ta da!

Story Idea Neko 5: This humanoid idiot does not own Fairy Tail. If you sue, do you really want us contacting our friends?

Me: Now, now...

Setting Neko 1.5: Before this idiot of an author forgets, here are some review replies.

IceMaize- Thanks. I originally love the idea to begin with.

stiCyrocks425- Will do! Thanks for reviewing.

FabFairyFan- I'll try to lighten the mood as I go... Hope you like this chapter.

blissfulme- Thank you, thank you!

Axious- Here you go!

SecretMindOtaku7- Thank you! I'll try as often as I get the chance

Animala Swan- Thank you. It makes me happy that you like it :)

Thanks x 100 to all my wonderful readers.

So without further delay... Here we go!

Chapter 2: The world ain't as sweet as candy

Lucy's POV-

Somehow, all my spirits are perfectly content in staying in the human world. Some go back to rest for a bit, but for much of the time, I have a full house of celestial spirits, fussing over every single thing I do.

Virgo has been cleaning the house every 2 seconds, Lyra contently sings in the background, Plue occupies my bed, and Loke (when he's not being a playboy and all) reads. Scorpio and Aquarius appear from time to time together. Recently, Scorpio gave me this sand zen garden thing that's supposed to be good therapy.

It's been 2 weeks, and I'm harboring 3 broken ribs, snapped left leg, and multiple scars etc. No one from Fairy Tail has come to visit either. Fitting. Most of the time I spend now is on my book, sleeping, or meditating. Capricorn and Crux said it would speed my recovery if I focused and practiced bits of magic here and there.

The sky shines today, the normal blue with a few clouds here and there. I'm sadly still inside, due to the fact I can't do much. Virgo offers me breakfast. She has perfect cooking skills.

I've come to the resolve that I'd go and train myself to be stronger the second I can walk. My spirits early agreed, and said they'd be happy to help.

I reach over to my night stand and grab my quill with some paper.

"Dear Mama,"

After everything that has happened, I come to the decision to train to become stronger. How are you and papa doing? Well I hope.

My spirits are currently taking care of me. Thanks to them, I'm almost better. I absolutely adore them.

I'll see you again, ne?

-Lucy"

I finish writing and place it in the box that has held all the other letters.

** Time skip to about 1 week later **

I walk into the guild as quietly as possible, sneaking up to the master's office before anyone notices. I knock, and after hearing a short reply, enter. He looks shocked after seeing the state of my body.

"Lucy. What brings you here?" He asks, sitting at his desk.

"Here to say goodbye. Ive decided to leave for a few years to train" Master looks extremely shocked about it, but continues by saying-

"I won't stop you. I sense you are more than willing to go through with this. But, at least tell me the reason why."

I inhale, and exhale slowly.

"It started when Lisanna returned. The whole guild was in celebration, and don't get me wrong- I am happy for her return. It's just- everyone then started to ignore me. Even when I tried to talk to them, they would ignore me. Then I was booted out of Team Natsu for being 'weak', and a replacement for Lissana. Finally, Lissana challenged me to a battle 2 weeks ago. These are my injuries. No one in the guild even bothered to bring me to the infirmary. My spirits brought me home. That it my reason." I nearly spat out, each word seeping in the anger I felt. Master was still processing. After a bit, he looked angry. Seriously angry.

"I can tell you speak truth. I will let you go, but are you coming back?"

"It depends. Can you remove my guild mark until then?"

"Alright. Just know, that you will always have a home here, Lucy Heartfilia."

"Thank you master." I bow. He takes my hand and and chants something. The mark slowly dissipates into sparkles.

"One more thing. Please keep this a secret from the other guild members- or at least until they realize I'm gone please."

"Understoood... Goodbye." I hear him say before I close the door.

From now on, for all I cared was to turn my heart to steel and feed it to Gajeel at this point. No turning back. To bury the past and look onto the future.

What did you guys think? I'm sorry, I'm a bit spastic on updating and writing new chapters. But I am on fanfiction every day and do see your reviews. They make me happy...

Plot Neko 2: This humanoid girl will update soon, don't worry. Or we get snacks!

Me: ;-;

See ya~!
