A/N: Yet another story none of you new I had up my sleeve. And I have more O.o

I'll hope to get them up soon. I won't be updating this for a while though, I want to finish Part 2 of the Guardian Trilogy first. THEN I'll decide what to continue. Until then though, read and re-read this chapter many, many, many times over.

Chapter 1

Lucy sighed as she looked upon the empty building. So this was her new home? The new guild building?

"Fairy Tail Two." Lucy whispered. That was the name the master had said.

Sighing, Lucy walked into the abandoned building. It was much cleaner than she thought it would be, though the city had probably kept it clean after the master had bought the building. It would be understandable if they did. This new guild building, this second base, was supposed to help the terms between Fairy Tail and the Magic Council. Lucy would have thought that having a second Fairy Tail would be a death wish for the council, but the master had explained all this to her.

"By having a second Fairy Tail building there, we would be saying that we are still under the Magic Council's rule and must follow it's laws."

Those had been his exact words to her.

Lucy sighed yet again once she reached the door to her room. This new guild building acted as, not just a guild building, but also a rest post of sorts for guild members. Members would be able to stay nights, sometimes longer if need be, while on their way to missions. Lucy, on the other hand, would be living here from now on. She was like the manager of the building. Master Makarov was still the guild master, of both here and the guild in Magnolia. Lucy was more like a second in command. She was in charge of this sole building, but Makarov could still overrule her decisions.

Lucy looked around her room glumly. There was a twin sized bed, a desk, and plenty of shelving. Lucy took in a deep breath, then put a smile on her face. She was looking at this the wrong way. The master was trusting her enough to leave her in charge of the place, and she would make the best of it and be responsible. With that new mind set, Lucy began to unpack.

...

Later, Lucy was in bed sleeping. A cold sweat drenched her body as she murmured quiet nothings into the night. The blonde wasn't having a nightmare. She was reliving a memory. A terrible one, that might as well be a nightmare.

Lucy walked up the hill towards Natsu's house, a small, neon wrapped box hidden behind her back. Lucy and Natsu were going out, and it was their one year anniversary today. She was planning to surprise him with a gift.

Lucy made her way to the top of the hill, but stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't believe her eyes. She wanted to scream out, but she couldn't, her voice caught in her throat. There, right in front of the front door to her partners home, was Natsu and Lisanna... kissing. No, not kissing. It was more than that. They were completely and utterly making out. Time seemed to slow down then, as if to cruelly etch the scene into her mind. The present, meant to celebrate a time many couples never reach, fell to the ground.

The small clatter it made was more than enough for the fire dragon slayer to look up in annoyance at whoever had broken his special moment. When he saw who it was, however, annoyance was replaced with horror.

"Luce." Natsu took a step forward and away from Lisanna, who just looked on in confusion. Everyone had just arrived back from Edolas and no one dared inform her of the relationship between Natsu and Lucy.

Lucy took a step back when Natsu stepped forward. She muttered something under breath, so quietly that not even Natsu could here what it was. Natsu stepped forward again, only to have Lucy step back the same.

Lucy muttered something again, this time loud enough for the dragon slayer to hear. "No."

Another step forward, another step back. Once again Lucy muttered the single word. Each time shattered Natsu's heart into a thousand pieces. Natsu took a fourth step closer, this time however, Lucy didn't step back. Natsu took this as a good sign and took another few steps closer. Still she didn't step back.

Gently, Natsu uttered his nickname for the blonde. "Luce." He reached forward to touch her shoulder.

As soon as his skin touched her's, though, she shirked back and shouted at him. "Don't touch me!"

The small smile that had crept onto Natsu's face from being able to approach the spirit mage was swept away by those three words. This time he tried to grab her hand, but she pulled it away before he could.

"Get away from me!"

"Luce?" Natsu again tried to grab Lucy's hand, only for her to pull away a second time. More sternly this time, Natsu said the blonde's name. "Luce."

Lucy shouted toward's the ground this time. "No!"

She was shaking. Trembling from what was going on inside her head. Natsu attempted once again to try to make contact with her, only to be rejected once again. Natsu took on a new plan of tactics, and tried to explain what was going on.

"You see, Luce. We were just-"

"No!" Lucy yelled once again. Natsu stopped his explanation at the interruption, and stayed quiet as Lucy continued on. "How could you Natsu? How could you? What did I do to deserve this? I was good girlfriend, wasn't I? I mean, today was even our one-year anniversary!"

Natsu's face had new found horror don it as he realized what day it was. It truly was their anniversary, wasn't it? Natsu tried yet another desperate time to defend himself and explain the situation, but as soon as he tried to open his mouth, Lucy shot him down.

"No Natsu! I won't listen to your excuses!" Tears flew from Lucy's eyes as she ran away, leaving the present behind.

...

Lucy woke with a start. It took her a few moments to find her bearings. When she did, Lucy wished she hadn't. She was in her new room at Fairy Tail Two, not her old apartment. Trying to distract her mind, Lucy inspected her body. Sweat was making her hair and clothes stick her body in random places, and it was totally disgusting.

Lucy made her way to the bathtub in her personal bathroom, one which was connected to her room. Maybe, hopefully, a bath would clear her mind. On the way, she stole a look at the clock on her wall. It was a half past five, five-thirty. Lucy sighed at the sight. There was no reason to go back to sleep at a time like that. With that, Lucy thought out her schedule for the day.

...

It was a week later since the night Lucy had relived that memory, and right now she was standing outside the holding cells for prisoners of the Magic Council. She wasn't a prisoner, of course. Oh no, she was visiting one. The day before, she had talked with the master through a lachryma crystal, explaining what she was to do and how to go about it. Lucy was fine with her assigned task, she just wondered what kind of aftermath this would have on the guild.

Lucy was snapped out of her reverie when the great double doors opened in front of her. On the other side was a toad messenger, no doubt her guide. Lucy bowed slightly before entering the colossal tower. Lucy said her thanks to the purple frog, and was then taken up to one of the tallest levels. There, only one cell was located. In that cell, was a man Lucy would never forget.

They had first met when he tried to revive a five hundred year old dark wizard by the name of Zeref. Then they met again when he helped her and her friends stop a group of evil mages from destroying the world. It was discovered during their second meeting that he had no recollection of the past, he was amnesiac.

The door to the cell was opened, and the light that filtered through shone down upon the man. He weakly looked up at Lucy, when shock and realization came down onto him.

Lucy walked up to him before kneeling down at his side and inspecting how well taken his body was. It wasn't the best, but it was healable. When she finished her inspection, Lucy gestured to the frog, who lit a torch in the room before leaving. When Lucy was sure the frog was gone, she smiled warmly at the man.

"It's good to see you again, Jellal.
