A.N. HEYYYY EVERYBODY! Its been a long time since I have updated my little story. In my defense, I had school. I know it's a lame excuse and school is over now, but I did cheerleading and I was editor of the newspaper club. I was also part of the student council and I was part of the drama club and we had a play we were preparing for(and I was the lead). Then I had to do for a another play/musical with my theatre group. Then the internet went out for about 2 weeks. Lol, I might have done all this, but I did write some chapter for the story in the journal for my English class. So I am going to try and update the story once a week… also, sorry for the long boring author's note. Lets get to the story!

Lucy's P.O.V. *3 years later*

It's been 3 years now. 3 years since I was kicked out of my home by my own father. 3 years since I have returned to Hargeon. I live alone in a decent sized apartment that father was 'nice' enough to pay for me to live in.

I go to school at Hargeon High, and ever since I started going there I've heard people talking about me… well the old me. I am no longer the famous 'Lucy Heartfillia'… no, now I'm the little nerd Lucy Ashley. When I hear girls talk about 'Lucy' they say things like "she's sooo ugly.", "she sings so badly, she should get some music lessons.", and "I'm glad she's gone, she was holding Natsu-sama back." I've heard all these so many times that I started to believe them all. I know Natsu and the others would be better off without me but they still insist on finding me.

I've been gone for 3 years. 3 years! Yet Natsu has been searching for me. They talk about it all the time on the news and those gossip shows.

Line Break

I open my eyes and sat up in bed. I could feel a wet liquid gliding down my cheeks. I was crying… again. Ever since I've moved back to Hargeon, I've had a dream about when I met Natsu and the rest of our memories at Fairy Tail together. All the fun we've had together when we met, but then it switches to that night. That night when I lost my friends, and my mother… I sat on my bed and cried for a little bit. Then got up and took a bath and got dressed for school.

After I was dressed, I went down stairs and tuned on the TV while I made some cereal. There was another interview of Natsu, great (note the sarcasm). Since I was too lazy to change the channel (A.N. suuuure Lucy, that's why you wouldn't change the channel, Lol.), I took my bowl of cereal and sat on the couch and watch the interview.

"So Natsu, got a girl yet?" the annoying interviewer asked. Ugh, why is that the first question out of every reporters' mouth? They're always wanting to know about your love life. Even though I was super annoyed by the reported, I continued to watch. The camera switch over to Natsu. OMG… he was still the pink haired idiot I fell in love with when I was younger, but he's so grown up. He was taller (obviously) and stronger. He looked so handsome. (A.N. Admit it Lucy, you think he's hot. Lol)

He answered the interviewer "nope! I've got something more important I'm doing than looking for some girl to date." he smiled showing his sharp canines. "I'm still looking for my best friends, Lucy, she's more important." he smiled at the camera. Oh Mavis, I love his smile.

"Where will the search for Lucy Heartfillia take place now?"

"Hargeon" my eyes widened. He's coming to Hargeon? I sat there shocked. I know he's going to check our old neighborhood first, but after that I don't know.

"When are you starting the search?" I hear the interviewer say.

"The search will begin today, as soon as we're done I will be on my way to Hargeon, which is luckily only 10 minutes away."

"Well you're in luck because we are out of time. Thank you Natsu for coming on the show. And thank you all for watching, see you next time." The show ended… Natsu is coming to Hargeon basically now.

I hear a soft knock on the door. I just sit there frozen, not able to get the door. I hear the door open while I stare into space, I'm completely frozen.

"Lucy?" I hear. I recognized the voice. It's my only friend at Hargeon high, Jellal. "Lucy, are you ok?" he asks sitting next to me on the couch. Jellal knows everything about me… well almost everything. He knows nothing about me being Lucy Heartfillia.

"What's wrong?" he asks. A tear escapes my eye, trailing down my cheek. "Tell me." He insisted. So I did. I told him, everything.

Jellal's P.O.V.

I met Lucy 3 years ago. I was sitting in the back of class, all alone. I had no friends. Then the teacher introduced Lucy Ashley. She had shoulder length blond hair in a loose braid big brown eyes hidden behind some big glasses and baggy clothes which made it look like she had no shape. She looked very innocent and cute, but not my type. since the teacher sat her next to me we became friends very fast.

I told her everything about me and she told me everything about her. Well, almost everything. She didn't tell me she was the famous Lucy Heartfillia.

When she did tell me about her real identity,until now that is. When she told me about it, she was crying. I mean she hasn't seen her best friend, that she obviously has very strong feelings for, in years. and she is afraid that they're going to be mad at her for just leaving without explanation and not saying goodbye. She cried for a few minutes. I felt really bad for her. She's like a little sister to me. I gave her a hug as her crying started to stop. After she stopped, she went to the bathroom and washed her face with some cold water. Then we went to school.
