It was a moderately sunny day, with the weather being perfect enough for a specific blonde Celestial Spirit mage to skip to the guild.

"I wonder what missions we'll do today?" Lucy said to herself. What awaited her in Fairy Tail, though, was the opposite. As soon as she pushed open the wooden doors, a spiky pink haired Dragon Slayer had grinned at her.

"Perfect timing, Luce! I wanted to tell you something." Lucy blinked, wondering what it would be about. She hoped it would be good news, as she did not want to lose her happy mood. But Gray, Wendy and Erza's expressions were grim, which made Lucy's smile fade.

"Well the thing is, is it okay if you switch teams? Lisanna said that she wanted to join our team, as she had no teams to join. You're fine with Team Shadowgear, since you're friends with them, right?" Natsu explained with no hesitation at all, which immediately caused Lucy to go from a cheerful expression to a shocked one.

"It's okay, right Lucy? I mean, in the past me and Natsu worked quite well together, so I figured we would work better…" Lisanna tried to reason, not wanting to hurt Lucy even more.

"Oh, so all this time you were playing with me huh…" The now upset Lucy whispered quiet enough for Natsu to not hear but loud enough for Wendy and Levy, who were both standing next to her, to hear.

"No, no, its fine, Lisanna! We're guildmates, aren't we? Its fine! And sorry, I left something at home so I'll be back later." Tears threatening to fall, Lucy dashed out of the guild. After a short silence, Natsu spoke again, completely ignoring the atmosphere

"I guess that was fine! Luckily Lucy took it well. I nearly thought she would leave the guild!" He said loudly, totally oblivious to what was coming to him. What was supposed to be a slap surprisingly hurt like a he was hit by a frying pan.

"H-how could you be so cruel, Natsu? I always thought you were noble and cool, but now you're just trash." Levy had gone up to him and slapped him on the face, something that stunned everyone. Her face was wet with tears, and so was Wendy's. While Natsu was trying to figure out what happened, Levy had ran out of the guild like Lucy did. No sooner than 5 minutes, Levy had found Lucy crying by herself at the river, with Plue dancing around, trying to comfort her, but to no avail. It was a sad sight. Dark clouds had gathered around the sky, as if contributing to the heavy air around Lucy.

"I'm sorry, Lu-chan, I'm really sorry! If only there was some way Natsu could make it up to you!" Levy threw around Lucy in a hug. Looking up at Levy, Lucy showed a soggy letter to her blue haired friend. Her hands shaky, Levy read the contents of the letter. Although the word were blotched with tears, it was still legible:

Dear Team Natsu,

I am so sorry that I was not able to meet your expectations, and instead, had let you down. I hope you will be happy with Lisanna, and forget about what a weakling I was. What will happen to me? You need not worry, as I won't do something stupid. Someday, when I have enough courage, I will return to Fairy Tail and surely, amaze you with how strong I have become.

Regards,
Lucy Heartfilia

"N-no way. Lu-chan, anything but this." Levy shook her head, eyes widened with fear.

"Sorry Levy, but I made my decision. I'll come back, I promise." Lucy replied with determined eyes, but her voice was weak. Levy waited patiently for Lucy to pack up her things, her head lowered solemnly. The moment Lucy had finished with her belongings, Levy had leaped onto Lucy again, giving her a comforting hug.

"I'll miss you."

"So will I."

"Goodbye, Lu-chan."

And with a last look, Lucy Heartfillia had begun her journey to become stronger, turning her back on her old tragic past to create a new life.

Ahahaha lol the ending kinda sounds a bit too formal. Whatever!

Wendy: Why, author-san? Why did you have to make such a sad prologue?

Me: Come on, its not like the story's gonna be sad as well. Its only one chapter! And I wanted to do something dramatic for once. Like this!

(Zooms to random Romeo and Juliet scene)

Juliet: Oh Romeo, why did you depart this world first, leaving me alone? *fountain of tears*

Romeo: … (No reply, just like a corpse)

Juliet: I rather die than live this world without a lover! (Gets knife and stabs herself, creating a super depressing atmosphere)

(Back to fanfiction)

Me: Yep.

Wendy: ._.

Gray: On a happier note, at least flame brains not going to be that loud, roaring whenever and wherever he wants.

Natsu: What did you say, stripper bastard?

(Typical classic Gray vs Natsu scene)

Me: WILL YOU SHUT UP? *whacks both of them on the head*

Erza: Nice going!

Levy: Theres another Erza all of a sudden…. *shudders*

And this ends our little corner thing! Look forward to the next chappie! Oh, and one little thing, I created an OC that is part of Sabertooth, so you're gonna read about her in Chapter 2 :)
