Ch5: Letters
Natsu POV:
After apologizing to Lisanna for punching her, we all headed towards Fairy Tail. Ice Brain and me were fighting.
"The mission ended rather quite fast."
"That's because I was there to beat the crap out of the bandits," Gray explained.
"Are you stupid or what? It was because I was there."
"You wanna go flame head?"
"What'd you call me Ice Princess?"
"Flame Brain!"
"Ice Freak!"
"Flame Idiot!"
"Do I hear fighting?" Erza asked with a dangerous aura.
"No… no mam!" Gray and me replied.
"Good," Erza stated.
When we got to the guild, I kicked down the door and shouted, "We're back minna!" The whole guild shouted back, "Welcome back!" I looked around the guild for the blonde but couldn't find her. "Where's Lucy?" Everyone looked confused. I heard some whispers saying, "Who? Lucy? Oh right… Lucy…" Then Mira said, "She came by this morning after you guys left and then left after seeing Master. I don't know what they were talking about though." Everyone started to wonder where she was and someone exclaimed, "Who cares! She's probably on a mission!" I yelled back, "But Lucy's in Team Natsu, so why would she go on a mission alone?" Then, Master shouted, "Quiet! I have important news to tell you. One of our precious friends has left Fairy Tail." Everyone started to look around and whisper, "Who left? Lucy?" Master then shouted again, "Lucy has left Fairy Tail for a while because she's been ignored for the past two months. Only some people noticed her. And something happened between her and her team… or should I say ex-team. "What does you mean by two months? I've never ignored her? What happened between the team? Is it because we didn't ask her to go on a mission with us today?" Then Gray spoke up, "Yeah. What do you mean Master?" Everyone stared at us weirdly.
"What are you staring for?"
Lisanna explained, "Well you see, Team Natsu kicked Lucy out of their team and put me in your team."
"What? I don't remember any of that? And two months?"
"Yes… two months. Basically, since Lisanna joined us again," Master said.
"Wait… what are you talking about? Lisanna came home just yesterday."
"No… Lisanna came back two days ago… not two months or yesterday, right?"
"No… Lisanna came back two months ago. Did you two forget? Are you guys drunk right now?" Master asked us.
"Are you serious? But I remember clearly that it was yesterday when Lisanna came back. Rather than worrying about that… where's Lucy Master?"
"I told you already… she left for the time being. I don't know where she went, so don't even bother trying to ask."
"Maybe she's still at her room."
I dashed out the guild towards Strawberry Street. I jumped through her window and saw no one in sight. Then, Happy flew in. "Natsu? Where's Lushii?"
"I.. I don't know." Then, happy went to Lucy's desk and found eight letters. I grabbed the envelopes and saw a letter for me on the top. I gave the rest to Happy to give to the others. I quickly opened it and it read...
Dear Natsu,
I don't know where to start. Well, since you're reading this, you probably noticed that I was gone. I hope it didn't take you too long to notice. I am glad to have met you in Hargeon that day. It was the best day of my life. I'm glad I took that hand of yours. I'm glad I joined Fairy Tail. It has taught me so much that not even all the paper in the world would fit it all. But here's one thing I loved about Fairy Tail. They never give up on Nakama and always protect their loved ones. Fairy Tail was a second family of mine. But, I am saddened to be of no help to you guys. Sorry for being weak. I guess I was just a replacement for her. I'm sorry for not being able to fill in that gap when Lisanna supposedly died. Now that she's back, I don't think you guys need me anymore. That's probably why almost everyone in the guild ignored me for the past 2 months. Then you kicked me out of the team for Lisanna to join. I'm not blaming Lisanna or any of the guild members. I am not blaming you either. If anyone was at blame, it would be me. And you know? I loved you too. No, I still love you now, but I may find someone new now that I'm gone and starting a new life. Thank you for everything. Goodbye.
Love,
Lucy Heartfilia
After I finished reading the letter, I fell on my knees. Tears were escaping my eyes. 'She loved me? I kicked her out of Team Natsu? I ignored her for 2 months? It was all my fault! But, I don't remember doing anything like that.' I laid on her bed and sniffed her scent. Then, I bawled my eyes out crying, "Lu… Luce… Why did you leave me? Now Team Natsu won't ever feel right. Team Natsu was only possible because of you. You're not weak… you're one of the strongest person I've ever met. You were never a replacement… I don't even remember what happened during the past two months… Please… come back…"
Happy POV
I flew to the guild with the letters in my hand. When I got to the guild, I handed the letters to Erza, Gray, Levy, Juvia, Wendy, and Gajeel. I noticed that there was a letter for me too so I opened it read it.
Dear Happy,
You are such a weird neko. You make fun of me, but I know you don't mean it. Thank you for talking to me when everyone else ignored my existence. You are such a good neko. Promise me that you'll keep Natsu happy and make sure that he doesn't break into my old apartment anymore because I don't live there anymore. Also, don't give up on Carla. She's just being stubborn and acting hard to get. Good luck! And until next time!
Sincerely,
Lucy Heartfilia
I smiled at the paper and flew back to where Natsu was.
Erza POV
I grabbed the paper from Happy and started reading it.
Dear Erza,
Thank you for always being there for me. You were like a sister to me. You took care of me and protected me. You never gave up on me. Although I am a little disappointed that when Natsu and Gray kicked me out of the team, you didn't say anything, I'm still happy. I don't blame you, so don't blame yourself. Don't blame anyone. My farewell wish is for you to stay strong and keep the team together. Cheer everyone up and tell them that I wouldn't want them to be sad. Thank you and goodbye.
Sincerely,
Lucy Heartfilia
When I finished reading it, I punched the table and felt water at the end of my eyes. The fake eye was tearing up too. 'Sorry Lucy! It's really my fault for doing nothing… I'm really sorry. I'll fulfill your wish.'
Gray POV
The letter from Lucy said,
Dear Gray,
Thank you for being there for me. You were like my older brother. You took care of me and made me happy. You kicked me off the team, but I know why. Because I was weak. Sorry for causing you trouble. Speaking of trouble, don't get into fights with Natsu too much, but if he's gloomy and sad, then you can go ahead and fight him because it seems you two get to know each other with fists only. A little advice, accept Juvia's love for you the next time because she may just change her mind and go for Lyon. I know you like her too. It's just that her love for you is greater than your love for her. Goodluck!
Sincerely,
Lucy Heartfilia
I was sad and happy at the same time. I was sad that I kicked her off the team even though I don't remember doing it and was happy because she gave me advice. Also because I know she didn't blame me.
Levy POV
The letter was short, but made me happy.
Dear Levy Chan,
I know you didn't mean to ignore me. You were just catching up with Lisanna right? I don't blame you. Also, just confess to Gajeel already! I know you like him! Oh! I left my book on the desk for you. I finished it over the two months. Enjoy!
Your best friend,
Lucy Heartfilia
I had tears of joy and sorrow.
Juvia POV
Juvia is so happy love rival wrote a letter to me too. Love rival's letter said…
Dear Juvia,
I am not your love rival! I don't like Gray! I only see him as a brother. I'm interested in someone else. Keep confessing to Gray until he accepts your love! Don't give up! Also, thank you for talking with me when everyone else ignored me. I am truly thankful.
With Many Thanks,
Lucy Heartfilia
Love rival is still Juvia's love rival. Love rival can't fool Juvia. Juvia thanks love rival for encouraging Juvia. Juvia's gonna miss love rival… Juvia made rain poor down.
Wendy POV
Lucy-san left me a letter that said…
Dear Wendy,
Thank you for healing me every time I'm hurt… although I don't think you can heal my heart. It's been broken, but I'm happy for all the memories I got. Thank you for talking with me when no one talked to me. Thank you for welcoming me back every time I came back from a mission. Don't be sad. Be happy. I'll be back so tell me about all the things that has happened when I come back. Also, help Carla and Happy get together! I know one day you'll find someone special for you. Goodbye!
Sincerely,
Lucy Heartfilia
'Lucy-san… you're welcome. Come back safe.'
Gajeel POV
Bunny girl said some pretty weird stuff…
Dear Gajeel,
Thank you for talking to me when I felt lonely. And, I know you like Levy Chan… just confess already! I'm hoping to see you two as a couple when I come back. I have a request as well. Please cheer Levy Chan up when she's sad. Not only Levy, but everyone else. I know Erza won't be able to cheer everyone up on her own.
Sincerely,
Lucy Heartfilia
'Gehe… Bunny girl… Come back safe.'
Normal POV
Everyone looked sad except Gajeel, Levy, and Wendy. Gajeel got up onto the table and yelled, "Why are you all so sad? She's coming back you know? Plus, she doesn't blame anyone. She's just gone to train. I know it." Some people's faces cheered up and then they started to try and cheer others up as well.
Neko: Hey guys… I lied… this chapter was not only in Natsu's POV… I kinda just wrote this chapter without planning so it ended up in a lot of people's POV. Still good though right? This is the longest chapter I wrote so far… don't forget to review! Haha… gonna write more tomorrow so come check tomorrow!
