Hello my little lovelies, Katt here. This is my new story! From now on, for me to post a new chapter, I'll need at least 4 or 5 reviews. That's not too hard, right? Almost everyone in this story will be OOC. So try and bear with me here.
I'm not sure who Lucy should be paired up with yet, so I'll be putting a poll on my profile. R&R~!
P.S- Things are Very out of order and changed around.I mean for it to be. It's also one of those stories where Lucy becomes a Dragon Slayer. Gomen if you don't like those. (sorry)
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail!
*Lucy's POV*
My eyes shift to my feet as the train starts to move. 'It's been 4 years already, huh?' I pout slightly and think aloud.
"Four years since Fairytail deemed me as missing. Four years since I left." My voice comes out as whisper. I feel my heart protest whenever I try to remember that day.
~~~~~~~~~~~-FLASHBACK-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy skipped to the guild, excited for the new mission, when she saw the guild doors close ahead of her. 'Hmm that's weird..' She walked to the doors and peeked in. Everyone was surrounding Master, she figured it must've been something important because his face looked serious.
"As you all know, the Grand Magic games are coming up. I've chosen the strongest members of our guild for this, but we don't have many considering the Tenrou incident.." She watched him frown, then continue. "I've chosen Natsu, Gray, Erza, Elfman, and Lucy for Team A." She saw a few guild members frown at this when Natsu spoke up.
"Are you sure you want to put Lucy in, I'm kind of worried that she'd get hurt. I mean, these games are tough from what I've heard. Are you sure she's even ready?" Natsu furrowed his brows and Makarov glanced at him.
"It's not as if theres a choice, Natsu. I worry for her as well, but she has been training hard. Maybe it'll pay off." Murmurs of agreement spread throughout the group.
Tears came to her eyes, and she was obviously holding back. Why? Because the whole guild called her weak. Not intentionally, or outright, but she heard it all the same. Lucy backed away from the scene before her when someone realized she was there.
"L-luce?" Natsu walked towards her. Everyone turned around, surprise on their faces. She looked at Natsu before turning around and sprinting off to her apartment.
"Luce!" Natsu began to run after her when an armored hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't Natsu, she probably wants to be alone right now. We did insult her, and as soon as she gets back, we'll all apologize." Erza smiled softly, sorrow glinting in her brown eyes. Natsu's shoulders slumped and he frowned.
"B-But Luce.." He sat on the floor bangs covering his eyes.
-Back with Lucy, still in Flashback-
She ran to her apartment, tears streaming from her eyes. 'It's not the fact they called me weak, it's the fact that they DOUBT me.' She became angry and knocked stuff off of her desk, scattering paper and various objects around.
"Why..?" She punched the wall, putting a dent in the smooth plaster. Her hand throbbed but she didn't care as she began shoving random articles of clothing into her bag. A plan was forming in her mind.
"I'll show them I'm not weak, and I won't come back until I do!" She glanced around her room once more, noting that it looked like a wreck, and grabbed her wallet. She bolted out of her door, and didn't even bother to shut it as she ran to the train station. Team Natsu had found her room in this state days later, after giving her time. Her smell was stale, and Natsu had assumed the worse.
-End FLASHBACK-
*Normal POV*
Fairy Tail had been searching for her for a while after that, and only recently gave up. In the time that had passed, a lot had happened. After a few weeks of being alone and training, Lucy had ran into a tall, beautiful woman. She had introduced herself as Touketsu**, and after talking for a while Lucy had told her about her problems. Touketsu had then claimed she was the Edolas counterpart of Touketsu the Frost dragon. (A.N. Much like Porlyusica) Lucy hadn't believed her then, but after she showed her powers, The mage was quick to accept the truth. After that Touketsu offered to train Lucy in the ways of the dragon, to be a dragon slayer. They trained vigorously for a few years, after that , Lucy was ready. A little while after training finished, Lucy decided it was time to return to Fairy tail, to her Nakama*.
*Lucy's POV*
All I remember after getting on the train is falling asleep to the sad memories of my lost family. 'I hope they don't hate me for leaving. I've missed them so much.' The train screeched to a halt in the town of Magnolia, and I hurried to get off. After hopping off of the train, my feet took me straight to my apartment. 'I'm surprised I remembered where it was. I sighed audibly as I walked to my door. Before I could reach for the doorknob, I was gripped in tight hug. I turned my head to see my landlady crying tears of joy.
"Lu-Lucy dear! I'm so happy you're okay!" She turned me and grabbed my shoulders, taking in my new appearance.
"M-My, you've grown." She wasn't wrong. My shoulder length hair had grown down past the small of my back, and the once all blonde hair had light blue tips at the end. I'd grown into my body, and my muscles were a little more defined. My all brown eyes now had hints of blue in them, and I was wearing a dark blue cloak.
"Thank you. I've missed you too, and I'll pay rent as soon as I get the money. I must owe you a lot!" I frantically went through my purse, searching for some jewels as compensation when her hand stopped mine.
"No, no dear. Your friends at Fairy Tail have been paying it ever since you went missing. They visit all the time, and just sit in there." She hands me my key with a sad look.
"They've really missed you," She gives me another quick hug before continuing," I must go now, but you should see them soon." I nod and retreat into my apartment.
"W-wow." It was cleaner than it had ever been, and the fridge had a little food in it. I looked towards my desk and saw a pile of notes. My hand reached out and I began to read. All of the notes consisted of , I miss you, and we love you. They brought tears to my eyes. 'They wrote to me while I was gone..'
"T-They cared, they missed me." I grabbed the notes and put them somewhere safe. After pulling on white shorts and a light blue shirt, I fixed my hair and ran out of the door. I struggled to put my cloak on while sprinting, by the time I made it to the guild I had pulled my hood over my face. I glanced at my blank right hand, the hand that used to hold my insignia. It had been removed a while ago, to protect my identity until I was done training. My breath shook a little a I opened the doors.
*Normal POV*
Everyone glanced up as the doors open, and saw a someone wearing a cloak walk in. The dragon slayers heads shot up, and they all began to sniff. A certain Fire dragon slayer's eyes widened as the cloaked figure made its way across the guild. His voice quivered as he spoke up.
"L-Lucy?" His eyes filled with hope as the figure slowed down and stopped momentarily. Inside of the cloak, Lucy frowned slightly before completely stopping.
"Heh, I guess you found me out, huh?" A melodic voice floated from the stranger before they put their hood down. Natsu stared in shock and surprise, as did everyone else. The person that stood before them looked like Lucy, but it didn't. Natsu was yet again, the first person to speak up.
"Lucy!" He ran towards the girl and hugged her as tight as he could, pulling her head into his chest. She hugged him back, tears threatening to spill over as she talked.
"I-I got stronger. I missed you guys so much." Everyone followed Natsu's lead and jumped up, joining in on the group hug. After what felt like minutes, but was actually an hour, they separated. Team Natsu never left her side.
"Lucy, what happened?" Erza asked, a questioning look on her face. Lucy faltered and smiled sadly.
"I-I was weak, and I didn't want to be doubted anymore. So I left. I'm stronger now, and I'm a-" Natsu cut her off.
"You smell different Luce, it's kinda familiar." He raised his eyebrows, and Gray joined in.
"You even look different.." He added with an approving smirk, making Erza smack him.
"That's the thing guys. I'm stronger now because, I-I'm a Frost Dragon Slayer." Natsu looked at her, a mixture of confusion, and happiness on his face.
"Another dragon slayer!? YES!" Natsu danced around, fire shooting from his palms while Erza and Gray looked at Lucy in shock.
"Is this true?" Erza looked concerned. Gray watched Lucy closely and she nodded.
"Maybe we can win the Grand Magic Games again!" Bigger flames began to erupt from Natsu's body when Lucy sweatdropped. She lifted up her hand and extinguished Natsu's flame with the flick of her wrist, ice covering him from head to toe. Erza chuckled and Gray watched in amazement. Lucy lowered her cloak and sat it on the bar.
*Lucy's POV*
I smile as Erza helps Natsu break free from my ice. 'I'm glad they missed me.' Gray sits next to me and gives me an awkward hug.
"I missed you Luce, I'm glad you're finally back." He gives me his lopsided grin and tells me about what happened while I was gone.
"The Grand Magic Games are coming up again, and I'm sure Makarov will want you in them." I frown, the games are what made me leave in the first place. 'Maybe I can prove myself there, though.'
"If he wants me to be, I will." Gray gives me an approving thumbs up before a question pops up in my mind.
"Where is Master anyway? I need a new stamp, if he'll accept me." Gray begins to answer me when a voice booms from behind.
"You're always accepted here, Lucy. Welcome back." I turn around, my freshly dried eyes becoming misty again.
"That's right I am back." Arms wrap around me again, and I don't know who all is hugging me. All I know is I'm with my family again, and that I regret ever leaving.
