this story had been on my laptop for God knows how long. I only published it now because I'm afraid that no one will like it because of the story itself(read the summary). So I was inspired to write this because of reading sad stories I read three consecutive times. I really don't like sad stories and I thought the stories I'm reading is not gonna end like that but it did,, and it happened three times! Uhg,, but its worth reading it! ^_^ so I'm sorry if you find this uninteresting? weird? or crappy? haha so I'm hoping that the time I took from you when reading this story won't be such a waste in your side, and please enjoy reading? haha, Oh! and one more thing! this story won't be affecting the update of my two other story, BoY and 3 wishes, because as I said, this story had been on my laptop for such a long time, and will be such a waste if I'm not gonna publish it, ne? ^_^
English is my second language and I'm not that good of a writer so I beg for forgiveness if there are wrong spellings or grammar...thank you.

CHAPTER ONE
She's been gone for 70 years but, ever since then this one guy didn't forget about her. She had always been in his heart and will never be replaced. He promised her one thing: to never commit suicide while she's gone. Funny, right? But that's the truth.
He's been waiting for this moment to come; for the day that he will finally be reuniting with her; with Lucy.
Lucy, was the girl that died 70 years ago, a cute girl that is more naïve than she appears to be, a celestial spirit mage that loved her spirits as family and in return was loved and was still loved by all other spirits, a girl that is passionate for literature, the girl that was loved by many, the girl that Gray Fullbuster held dearly in his heart.
I remember when she was still here. How Fairy Tail turned from being rowdy to rowdily fun and how fun turned even more fun, enjoyable and interesting.
..ooOoo..
Ever since she joined, everything just turned to something…amusing; you could say it was pretty hilarious in knowing her character. She's clever, kind and a very caring person. Though, she's very confident in her sex appeal. Like Levy, she's in love with books and the two of them instantly became friends discovering that they share the same interest. And because of this, she wrote a book about her adventures with Fairy Tail. Aside from her interest in writing and reading prose, she also likes shopping and cooking, and her favorite color is blue. Oh! And she always rants about her rent money.
She's naïve and it may cause some of us to be pissed but her smile and her sweet face will replace it with something else; smiles and laughter is what she brought. Well, we were happy but when she joined Fairy Tail, that was what made us even happier. She's just a girl that held the most beautiful smile you could ever see, that brought joy to everyone and that would melt every ice-covered heart; like what she did to Gray.
She was close to everyone, but not as close as she is to Gray. They were always together and seemed like they were a couple but whenever someone asked if they were, they both answer the same thing: that they're just friends. Cliche much?
…
It is said that every mage has something like a container inside them that determines the limits of their magical power. In the case that the container becomes emptied the Eternano coming from the atmosphere enters the body. After a while, the container is returned to normal. Ultear told us that recent studies have identified another part of the mage's magic container that isn't used normally and contains their dormant power called the 'second origin'. She told us that if the power within this second container is reached, then the mage in question will receive an enormous boost in magic power.
Hearing that Ultear's new improved time arc can open this second origin of ours, we agreed full-heartedly to her offer. But after the tournament, Lucy told us that she easily fell tired whenever she's doing something, even the simplest of things like cleaning her apartment. We just teased her that she's getting old or something but of course you can't erase the fact that we're worried for her. She told us not to tell Gray. She said she doesn't want to worry him, or anyone for that matter, over something so trivial.
As days goes by, we have noticed that she really is getting weaker and weaker. So we consulted master. Even though he's not a doctor, he told us that it's a serious matter. But to be sure what it really is, he told us to go to Porlyusica-san. Without Gray. For some reasons, he's not at the guild that time so we decided to go to Porlyusica-san without him.
We had a hard time pleasing her to examine Lucy and she eventually did once she sensed something. She asked us if we are feeling someting that time. She even asked us if we had felt it before. But not knowing what she's talking about, we shook our heads at the question and she eyed us with suspicion.
She led us inside her humble abode full of medicinal plants and potions. She started examining Lucy and we just sat there, patiently waiting.
After about half an hour or so, her eyes suddenly went wide looking at the piece of paper she held in her hands, the paper which contains the result of the diagnosis. She eyed Lucy with sympathy then looked over at us and sighed.
"You did something before the magic tournament, right? Will you explain to me EVERYTHING you did? And…" she asked us. We shivered in fear by the way she had stared at us. But before we could answer, she continued her unfinished question. "…why hasn't anyone of you noticed that her magic is leaking out of her?"
Our eyes widen. Did we heard right? Her magic is leaking out of her body? Why on earth could we not notice or even felt it?
"W-what do you mean?" Erza asked, stuttering.
"There is a hole in her first origin and was getting bigger and bigger every day. If this continues, it will affect the second origin, THAT WAS OPENED, leading to some complications, or much worse…can lead to death. It's impossible for the person to not notice the magic leaking out of his/her body…so kindly explain to us why you're keeping it to yourself." She explained mainly to Lucy, who twitched once the question was asked.
We were all shocked, except for Lucy who looked as if she already knew. We all stared at her waiting for her to respond.
"I'm sorry for not telling you guys. At first, I thought it was nothing and considered your opinion that I was getting old but then I can feel the magic flowing out of me even without me wanting it. I didn't want to worry you guys so I chose not to tell anyone. I'm sorry." She said and faked a smile. We just stared at her, not really sure what to respond. Silence filled the air.

"If you had only gone here sooner then we could have done something to prevent the hole from getting bigger and for the magic to stop leaking out of your body." Porlyusica-san stated, her back facing us. We shot our heads up at her with a horrified look on our faces.

"What are you trying to say?" Natsu asked with creased face, clenching his fist. I can tell he's worried. He's always been, because Lucy is his best friend.
"What I'm saying is that…I can't do anything about it. 3 months. I'm sorry." She trailed off and walked towards her room and closed the door shut.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THREE MONTHS?" Natsu roared at the closed door, and when Porlyusica-san didn't answer he was about to ask again but was stopped by Lucy, who had been quiet, maybe because she knew there were no other way in curing her illness.
"I-It's alright Natsu. I-I already accepted it." She said in a low shaky voice. She already accepted it? So she had already expected this kind of result? That there are no other ways of curing her?
Natsu kept on telling her that it isn't alright but seeing Lucy not responding, he stopped and gritted his fist.
"DAMMIT! THIS SUCKS!" he yelled and ran off, leaving us. Is it just me, or were there tears in Natsu's eyes?
"She only has three months…" Erza whispered to herself while staring at Lucy with her shocked face. I heard it because I was just beside her and with those words, I felt my eyes water up.
What is her illness? I don't understand anything at all!
..ooOoo..
