Ch. 1

In the city of Magnolia resides a guild that is famous for its habit of destruction. This guild is by far the strongest guild in all of Fiore. It is also known to have the biggest parties known to man. This guild's name is Fairy Tail. But for the past three years, the guild wasn't the same. They hadn't thrown a party for they weren't in the mood for one. They cause more destruction than they normally do. They barely kept the title strongest guild in Fiore during the Grand Magic Games. They weren't as lively as they once were like they used to three years ago.

The doors to the guild opened as Gray walks in with Juvia and Lyon. Lyon is one of the few who joined Fairy Tail. They just arrived back from a mission. Gray looked around, and sighs. He expected the atmosphere, but it doesn't get easier. He walked over to the bar and took a seat with Juvia beside him with Lyon on Juvia's other side.

"A cold one over here Mira!" Gray calls.

"Coming right up!" Mira calls back. Gray notice the smile Mira gave, but it wasn't the same smile everyone was use too. The smile held no brightness like it should, it just look like it was there to keep her from breaking down. He looked to his left and notice the same with Lisanna. She had a smile, but it too lack the brightness it normally held. He looked over at the table that belongs to Team Shadow Gear. Levy, Jet, and Droy were all sitting there but one. And if Levy constant looking at the empty seat next to her is any indication, Gajeel had went on another job.

"I'll be back." Gray said, standing up.

"Gray-sama, your drink…" Juvia began.

"Save it for me." Juvia nods as Gray went up on the second floor. Gray, along with many others, has become S-Class mages and is now able to go onto the second floor. Once he was on top, he looked around and saw Laxus the Thunder Legion, and Elfman. They seem to be to themselves as Evergreen leaned into Elfman. Gray sighs as he look over the railing at the rest of the guild. Wendy is sitting at a table with Carla. Seems like she had shed more tears again. He saw Lucy sitting at the table, depress. Sitting next to her was Sting, another new member of Fairy Tail. He looked over and saw Rogue leaning against the pole who joined at the same time as Sting. The two Dragon Slayers were looking down as in deep thought. The doors opened and Gajeel walks in with his hands in his pockets with a sack on his back. Seems like he completed another mission. Next to the door were the members of Crime Sorciere. They are still wanted by the Magic Council so they keep on the move to avoid capture or detection. They, too, seem down with Jellal more so than he already is. He looked around to the Master's office as the door opens. Master Makarov walks out looking calm, though anyone who knew him knew he was a depress on the inside. He had a glance at the job board which showed Gildarts looking at the requests. Each time he about to choose a ten year or a hundred year request, he pulls back shaking his head.

Gray looked back down into the and saw a person with red hair. His expression turned somber as he looked at her. Erza was in a worst state than them all. Her eyes showed no signs of life, just a dull look to them. She sat in the same corner eating strawberry cheesecake. Every now and then, she'll get up to take a job. However, she fails half of them because her mind isn't in it. He and Lucy had to go with her to make sure she doesn't fail all of them. But each time she returns, she goes back to her corner where a new plate of strawberry cheesecake awaits. The only other time she gets up to leave is when it's time to go home. Gray grips the railings hard, gritting his teeth.

"Damn…if we had known what would happen…damn!" Gray mutters.

"Calm yourself Gray, I know it hurts to see this but it can't be helped." Makarov said, drinking from his mug.

"I know…but still…if only we…if only that day didn't exist!" Laxus looks over to the two. He stood and walks over to them, standing next to Gray.

"Look, no one knew what would happen. It seems to be okay, but we were naïve to think things would be okay." Laxus said. Gray nods, though he hate to admit that Laxus was right.

"It all because of that day…if me and the team didn't…"

Three years ago~

Team Natsu just came back from a mission. Natsu walked in first with a grin on his face as Happy was on top of his head with a similar grin. Their team walked in, grumbling darkly. From the looks of it, Natsu had once again went overboard during the mission and got their pay cut.

"Damn idiot…he had to go all out like he had…and now we lost like half our reward…" Gray mutters.

"Yeah…now I can't pay for my rent in time! I guess I have to work something out with my landlady." Lucy replies. Erza is beyond livid that Natsu once again caused destruction of someone's property. From the sound of it, someone's priceless artifact is now a pile of ash thanks to him.

"You know…I had it…I'm not going to be part of a team with someone who going to get my pay cut." Gray states, angrily.

"Neither am I! It's either we leave the team or kick him out!" Lucy agrees.

"I say kick him out. This way, we don't have to worry about joining another team and figuring out a way to incorporate our fighting style with theirs."

"Yeah, that is right! I, too, vote to kick Natsu from the team."

"Erza?"

"Well…I suppose you two are right. We will kick Natsu from the team," Erza agrees then calls "NATSU!" Gray and Lucy gave one another a high five as Natsu went to Erza quickly along with Happy.

"Yes ma'am!" Natsu responds.

"Aye!" Happy states.

"We; Gray, Lucy and myself, has come to a decision. Due to the fact of your constant unnecessary destruction, we chose to kick you from the team." Erza informs. Those in the guild that was listening, gasps.

"…What?" Natsu responds, thinking he misheard her.

"We're kicking you from the team Ash-for-brains!" Gray shouts. Now the entire guild was listening and were surprised.

"Kicking me from the team?! Why the hell would you do that?!" Natsu asks, shocked and angry.

"Aye!" Happy states.

"We're tired of you going overboard and cutting our reward like an idiot!" Gray yells.

"I want to be able to pay my rent on time!" Lucy adds.

"So there you have it. You are kicked off the team." Erza finishes. Natsu's and Happy's mouth dropped to the floor.

"You're still welcome to join us Happy." Lucy said, looking at the blue Exceed.

"No, if Natsu isn't on the team then neither am I!" Happy shouts.

"Well, your choice." Gray said, as he walked by a still shock Natsu. Lucy and Erza walked by him also. Erza wondered if they could give him another chance but thought against it. For the next weeks, Natsu tried to find others who would let him and Happy join. But however, they all said no and gave similar reasons like his old team. The Strauss siblings were willingly to allow Natsu and Happy join them, but Erza shot that down fast. She didn't want Natsu to cut their pay as well. Mira told Erza that they just have to do more jobs than normal and work it out with their landlord. But Erza wouldn't bulge. So Natsu and Happy had went and took jobs alone. They succeed some missions that was very straightforward. But however, he began failing some missions, mainly due to the amount of thinking involved and the lack of backup. One day will caused a change for Fairy Tail.

Natsu and Happy had come back from another mission, which they had failed. They dragged themselves to the bar and planted themselves down, tired and in pain. Everyone had saw them, and felt…sorry for them. From what they hear, Natsu and Happy began to be targeted due to the fact that Natsu rather go head first into danger than think of a plan and use that against him. Happy try to help the best he can, but it isn't enough. So Natsu and Happy tend to be pretty beating up when they return to the guild. And like any other day when they return from a failed mission, they are not in a good mood.

"Hey Flame-brain!" Gray shouts. Natsu and Happy groans, not needing this right now as Gray walks over with Lucy.

"What is it, Stripper?" Natsu responds, from the bar.

"How was the mission?" Natsu growls as he looked over to glare at Gray along with Happy.

"What happen to your house?" Lucy asks.

"It's still in the middle of repair…" Natsu answers.

"Natsu can build his own house…but he needs materials from town to help build it…" Happy explains, as he crawled onto the bar "But we been failing missions…so it's difficult to get them."

"Well, now you know how I feel when I can't pay my rent on time." Lucy states. Natsu and Happy glared her as Natsu growled.

"Hey! Don't growl at me or glare! It's your fault you got kicked off the team!"

"Funny…I wonder who kicked us off the team…" Natsu said, lowly.

"Well, technically, we kicked you from the team. Happy is more than happy to stay with us." Gray said.

"You kicked me off the team the second you kicked Natsu from the team." Happy states, coldly. For some reason, this sent a shiver down everyone backs who heard him. They never heard Happy speak coldly to anyone.

"Hey! He had it coming! The idiot always going overboard with everything! There is no need to fire a full power roar at the enemies we were f-Gah!" Gray was struck into the wall. After a moment, Gray came out taking off his jacket.

You want to go Flame-breath! Come on!"

"I'm done…" Natsu murmurs.

"What?" Gray was confused along with the other guild members.

"Let's go Happy."

"Aye sir!" Happy agrees.

"Where are you going?!" Gray asks, angrily.

"I don't have to tell you anything. I'm not part of Team Natsu or whatever you call the team now anymore." Natsu answers, walking to the guild doors.

"Natsu!" Lucy calls out. Natsu and Happy continued going as they passed Wendy and Carla. Both of them were shock at the events. They also passed Sting, Lector, and Rouge who had joined a year ago. The, too, look shock. They passed Laxus, Gajeel, and Pantherlily who were surprised. Right when Natsu and Happy reached the door, it opens revealing Erza who had just arrived. She noticed Natsu's and Happy's expression, but before she could ask what was wrong, they moved passed her without a word. Erza knew she wouldn't get the answer from them, so she turned her attention to the guild.

"What is wrong with Natsu and Happy?" she asks. Once she was told everything, mainly from Laxus and Gajeel, she pummeled Gray twice as hard knowing Lucy wouldn't be able to take it.

"Idiots! Natsu and Happy has to adjust to the change of not being on a team! Why did you give him such a hard time like that!?" Erza shouts.

"S-Sorry! We're sorry!" Lucy apologizes hoping Erza doesn't trash her like she did to Gray, who is being tended to by Juvia.

"When he returns, I want you both to apologize to him! He should be back tomorrow to do another job."

"Yes! We will!"

"Good! Gray?"

"Y-Yes!" Gray assures, not wanting to invoke her wrath again. But Natsu and Happy didn't return the next day. Nor the day after, and the day after. Soon it became weeks, and then months, then finally three years has passed. And no one heard or seen Natsu and Happy.

Present Day~

"Man…I'm a jerk! I knew Natsu and Happy was still adjusting to doing jobs while not on a team and Lucy and I had to antagonize them about it!" Gray growls at himself.

"Just lucky you and Lucy are alive. I mean, after the first year, Erza was going to kill you two the second she saw you if the old man and Gildarts didn't talk her out of it." Laxus reminds. Gray shivers as he remembered the murderous intent coming from the guild doors that day. If scared Lucy so much she didn't come to the guild for three months. She always had a Loke to get a job, fearing for her life.

"Erza also blames herself." Makarov informs.

"What?" Gray responds surprised.

"She felt that if she didn't agree with you and kicked Natsu off the team, they would still be here with us having the time of their life."

"Not to mention that Carla's demeanor seem to change as well." Gildarts said walking over.

"Yeah…Happy leaving really hit her hard." Laxus agrees.

"Well…I better go and get my dr-" Gray began. The doors were kicked opened as everyone looked over. There stood two silhouette: one a person and another a cat.

"Who is that?" Mascao asks.

"Don't know…" Wakaba answers.

"Wow…what's going on? If it wasn't for me to seeing Ice Princess over there stripping, I would've thought this is the wrong guild." The person said.

"Aye!" the small cat agrees. Everyone is shocked at first then yelled:

"Natsu! Happy!"

"Yo, we're back!" Natsu states, grinning as Happy flew up to his shoulder stating:

"Aye!"
