Fairy Tail is not mine but Hiro mashima's. The oc's and plot are mine. Blah blah blah

Lucy's POV

I was glad that Levy and Juvia had been back to normal after a week of calling sick. I had first been worried about them, but realised that they we're living 'the phase' as we called it. We didn't know the word to describe it, the strange events and hallucinations. We called it a phase by instincts, i mean what else could it be? Just a phase like despression and whatnot.

I was the first one to be struck by it, under severe pressure and depression. I only remember faintly all the pain i went trough, mentally and physically, it was nightmare. Soon enough i heard that the girls thought it was the other's fault (which it probably was) and defended me. I wish they hadn't. Now they we're stuck with my luck and didn't mind it at all if it was for our friendship. What did i do to deserve such friends?

Wendy was young and too nice, so she was mentally weak. She couldn't take it. She was the next one under the phase.

Ours had ended about 1 week ago, exactly when Juvia and Levy's started.

Now they were back.

I smiled at the two blunets joining me and Wendy.

"How was it?" I asked curiously. Levy's eyes only narrowed and Juvia kept quiet. "It felt horrible."

"Yes...well i guess we shouldn't have underestimated you when you said it was extreme." Juvia sighed, rubbing her temples with her arms crossed. "Guess we were lucky to be warned at least."

"Hai." Wendy said. I was about to continue talking until a saw a familiar group of people walk trough the guild doors. With two extra girls trailing behind them.

"Yo Luce!" Natsu happily called, waving at me with his big dumb smile on his face. I said my quick goodbye's to my friends and walked over to the team. Natsu happily hugged me and i hugged him back, happily ignoring Lisanna's glare. I wouldn't let her get me down today, after all that I've been trough and felt trough the phase... i felt different, in a good way too. Powerful.

"How was your mission?" I asked the whole Team Natsu.

"Great, but you should have been with us. It isn't the same." Grey told me, which made me really happy. This time Elene was the one to glare ferociously. I skipped happily towards him and hugged him.

"You know i'm still recovering from the injuries i got just last week silly! You wouldn't want me to get hurt or would you?" I mused. Grey threw his head back and laughed, playfully leaning towards me. (almost all of the other guild, certainly the girls, glared. Telling me to remember what they did to me last time) I new i had crossed a line with this. I didn't care. They could beat me again, do anything to me... these people we're my friends and my nakama.

"What about Wendy?" Erza spoke up. I happily pointed to the blunette in the corner. "Right there. Talking with Levy and Juvia. Carla is off on a mission with team shadow gear instead of Levy."

"I'm glad they're okay!" Yelled Natsu. Wendy, Levy and Juvia heard him and quickly yelled back greetings. "Me too."

Elene interrupted our exchange. "Me and the Team were about to get another mission. Bye Luce!" She hissed at me, walking away with Team Natsu. Lisanna bumped against me and whispered in my ear away from everyone else.

"Who do you think you are? You think everybody likes you? It's the opposite. Don't think of touching another Ladies man without their permission. Natsu is mine, Grey is Elene's. Laxus is Mirajane's. Sting is Minerva's and Rogue Yukino's ect. Do you really want to mess with us?" She threatened. I shook my head, ignoring the shivers shooting trough my spine.

"Bitch." She added. I nearly felt like crying.

I quietly walked back to my friends.

"Did that Lisanna bitch mess with you?" Juvia growled slamming her hands down on the table. I quietly shook my head.

"N-no, she didn't do anything at all." I lied. I hurted doing this to my friends but i couldn't tell them or she'll get mad at me. This was what happened when i was too happy. Why could i not be happy?

"Stop lying to us Lu. This IS Lisanna we're talking about." Softly said softly resting my head on her shoulder. I stopped the tears from falling.

"I didn't want to get you in trouble again!" I cried softly, a small tear running down my rosy cheeks. Levy patted my hand in understanding.

"I can't do it!" I sobbed quietly.

"Us neither. They don't know about this, let's not let them." Juvia muttered. Wendy snapped her neck in alarm.

"You don't mean..."

"I'll talk to master." said Levy, "He'll understand."

"W-hat are we g-going to tell the o-others!

"Nothing. They'll never know. We'll leave them letters." Juvia explained, Levy nodded.

"Since when have you been thinking of this! You obviously didn't come up with this now!" Wendy exclaimed, eyes wide like saucers. Was she hearing her friends well, or was she still under the phase, this was madness ((NO this is Sparta! Lol))

"Me and Juvia have been discussing this for awhile. If you don't want to you don't have to, but know this is for the best of us. We can't stay." Levy admitted. Wendy frowned, unsure of what she would do. From the corner of her eyes she saw the mess Lucy was left as.

"W-what about Carla?"

"She'll understand." Levy said. This time her eyes were harder. That's when Wendy realized that she was serious, and that she had thought of all of this. This must've been hard on her, of course, she was raised with this family and leaving them was hard (much less only leaving letters as goodbye's). All she was worrying about was Carla, she was an egoist and she knew it. She looked at Levy in a new light of respect.

"I agree."

They didn't know if this was a good idea. All they knew was that they had retired their stay and abused their happiness. All they could look up to hopefully was being side by side until the end. This was true Nakama.

"Tomorrow."
