*Author's Note*

(I can't believe I haven't uploaded for weeks, sorry about that guys... The last term of school and only a short amount of time to do homework + assessments is hectic. Well that's not an excuse as I still should upload, so without further a do, here is chapter three!

*Chapter Three - Regret Paraded Mission*

Lucy went back to the guild with her iron will after two days prior to the event. Still heartbroken and saddened, she slumped her shoulders, looked at the ground as she went inside and sighed. It was quiet which was unusual and people looked at her with pitiful looks.

"Ah, Lucy-san you're back," said Mira from the counter. Lucy quickly paced through the walkway and sat to the chair. She finally looked up to see Mira's sad smile. She turned her head slowly and stared at the crowed looking at her. 'No Natsu...' she breathed. 'At least I won't be dealing with him today.' But for some reason her shoulder tensed up more. Where were they? Did they not come because of Lucy? Or did something happened to them? Instead of thinking it further she asked herself why she would even worry about them anymore... 'Even in this state, I still worry about them.' Mira noticed the blonde deep in thought and decided to ask

"Lucy something the matter?" She asked for her well-being. Surprised she stared at the white haired woman with sad eyes. Then she spoke up.

"Well... I was just wondering... Where Natsu is?" She answered and questioned. Mira shook her head and replied,

"You don't need to worry about him... He can go wherever the hell he wants," She spat. Lucy sighed for relief but was still worried. Then as if someone stood up and shook their chair violently, someone spoke up.

"They went on a mission a while back..." A man answered.

*FLASHBACK*

*Natsu and Happy's Home*

"Let's go on a mission!" Exclaimed Julia. She tried getting the attention of Natsu who was actually deep in thought after witnessing what happened back in Lucy's house. He felt terrible...

"Hello, Earth to hot stuff! You're still thinking about that whore aren't you?" She teased. Natsu glared at her but Julia was not afraid, instead she violently retaliated.

"SO YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THAT BLONDE BIMBO!!! WELL EXCUSE YOU BUT I THOUGHT THAT *I* WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, NATSU!!!" She yelled at him which caused the Happy to jump. Happy moved to a different room, bringing his fish and sobbing.

"No Julia please, it's just that don't you think we overdone it? I mean Luce-"

"Oh so it's LUCE now and JULIA not JULES HMM?!?!?!" She interrupted. "Natsu she hurt me and said bad things about me to! Didn't you see how she manipulated that Lisanna girl? We used to be friends until she got tricked by HER!" Natsu thinking more in deep thought tensed up and looked at the ground still in grief. Julia gave up but thought of a new plan.

"You know what I don't think I can even go to the guild tomorrow, I'll probably get abused and be shunned by my na~ka~ma!" Natsu's eyes widened.

"Wait no Juli- Jules no please don't leave the guild, I er no... We need you for the group! I mean that was the point right? To make Lucy leave and make you her replacement?" Julia's eyebrows furrowed as she heard HER name.

"I know but I'll probably get abused and abandoned, if only I got get a break from it!" She stated. "You know Nat~su kuun~ Maybe we can go on a very long mission and spend some times to ourselves," She posed seductively which 'surprisingly' did not have any effect on Natsu. But Natsu did think about this and reached a decision.
