• CHAPTER 1

    Lucy’s pov:

    I feel abandoned and miserable, yet again that happens a lot at Fairy

    Tail, I miss the guys.

    Oh god, I can’t think of them.

    Anyway the reason I feel this way today is because Erza, Natsu and Grey went on a mission without telling me. I mean, I went to Fairy Tail to talk to them about something really important and I find out they took off and that I would just be in the way if I did go, although Mira-Chan didn’t put it anywhere that straight forward but it was obvious what the meaning was.

    So here I am sad, yes sad, I thought they were my friends, I can understand if they didn’t want me on the mission ( I would be hurt, I just wouldn’t be able to say it), but they could of at least told me face to face.

    But that wasn’t even the reason why I was so upset about it, it was the fact that they did it today of all days. I wanted to actually spend it with them as I turned sixteen today and I wanted to celebrate it with them.

    Normal pov:

    Lucy hadn’t realised it but everyone had noticed she was down but most thought it was just because Natsu and the others had went on the mission without inviting or even telling her,

    Well almost everyone thought that except for Mira who had known it was Lucys birthday and was both disappointed and angry at Natsu, Erza and Grey and would be giving them a piece of her mind when they got back.

    She decided to try and cheer Lucy up walking towards where Lucy was sitting at the bar. Slowly she approached her.

    “Hey Sweetie, you want to talk about it?” Mira asked Lucy softly, as she was placing the clean glasses on the shelf.

    “No thanks Mira, I think I’ll just head home soon” said Lucy, obviously feeling better that Mira noticed.

    “You sure? I mean today is special” Mira replied smiling brightly but only to be received with a shocked look from Lucy.

    “You…..remembered?” murmered Lucy in disbelief, causing Mira to giggle.

    “Of course I remembered Lucy, we’re good friends right!” said Mira cheerfully, then she pulled out a colourful wrapped present from under the counter shocking Lucy even more. The gift was elegantly wrapped in white paper with a golden ribbon tied around all four sides of the present where it ended in a neat bow on the top.

    When Mira saw the surprised look on Lucys’ face, she giggled again and placed it in Lucy’s hands.

    “Aren’t you going to open it or are you happy just staring at it!” said Mira. Lucy looked up at her slowly and then looked back down at the present, she gently started to undo the bow, savouring the moment, then she carefully removed the wrapping as if it were made of glass and would break at any moment.

    Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside. It was a beautiful, delicate tiara. It was of silver and had gems that completely adorned it and on the front was an upside down crescent moon in silver with fine twirls of the same colour reaching out from it.

    It was the most beautiful tiara she had ever seen, Lucy had seen and worn tiaras before but none were so enchanting. She looked up at Mira with a tear in her eye and threw her arms around her in a warm embrace, it was a few minutes before she unwrapped herself from her. By now most of the Guild in the bar were watching with quizzical looks for a while then went back to their conversations.

    “Thank you so much, it’s so beautiful, you have no idea how much this means to me” said Lucy tearfully.

    “Hey just to see how happy it has made you is thanks enough” said Mira who was feeling quite choked up by Lucy’s joy.

    “I have to go now but I’ll come and see you later, ok” said Lucy who was delicately placing the tiara back in its box and then putting it in her bag.

    “Better get back to it, see you soon then, ok” Mira replied walking back around the bar but not before turning back and looking over her shoulder and saying a few more words before continuing. As Lucy was walking towards the door she smiled at the words that Mira said and they were words she so needed to hear.

    “Happy Birthday.”

    So simple but they held so special to Lucy and she would always treasure them.

    Although she was still upset about Natsu and the others she felt much lighter of heart.

    Walking out of Fairy Tail happily not aware of the events that were about to unfold……
