Guilt and Regret

Goodbye Magnolia

*With Juvia and Lucy*

After Lucy and Juvia left the guild, they both went to their apartments and packed all of their possessions. Lucy and Juvia both went to talk to their landladies and said goodbye. Afterwards, they both met at the train station to figure out their plan. 

"So Lucy, where should we go now?" Juvia asked while leaning on Lucy's shoulder. "Well, there is this library I've wanted to go to for a while now, maybe we can find some books that will help us increase our magic." Lucy said while looking at a map of Fiore "Ah. here it is. The Sapphire Library in Swindincote. It's a three-day train ride from Magnolia." "That's fine, if we're that far from here, no one would be able to find us," Juvia said. Suddenly there was a click, but the girls just shrugged it off. The two girls bought their tickets and went off to Swindincote.

*Back at the guild*

After what just happen, the Guild was dead silent, no one was talking or doing anything. you could probably hear a pin drop. Natsu then tried to break the silence, "Come on guys, don't let those weaklings drag you down! We can live without jobs!" then Gray spoke up, "Shut up flamebrain, tell me how we're supposed to pay for food, and for some of us rent?" Natsu then sat back down again. " I wonder what Juvia meant by 'a warning for the future?'" Lisanna said. "Considering it's them, who knows," Natsu said with a chuckle. the whole guild started to laugh and went back to normal. Erza, Mira, Wendy and Master Makarov were on the 2nd-floor balcony, all with the same thought, "What happened to you guys?"

*The Next Day*

While everyone else was sitting at the guild doing who knows what, Gray, Lisanna and Natsu decided to take a little walk. Once they entered the city, everyone looked at them with disgust and start whispering. when they entered a bar, they got a whole bunch of glares. "Why is everyone looking at us?" Natsu asked. "Don't ask me." Gray said as he turned his head, then a newspaper flew into his face. Lisanna then took the newspaper and read it. Her eyes widen. "What's wrong Lis?" Natsu asked as he looked at the paper, he also widens his eyes. "What is it with you two?" Gray said as he took the paper it read it. The headline said "Juvia and Lucy seen without their Guild marks. Some believe they left Fairy tail" The picture showed Juvia and Lucy at the train station and it was clearly visible that they didn't have their Guild marks. Gray read a little bit a saw the line of a witness, "I saw them walk out of the fairy tail guild all bruised" Gray was soo frustrated and he froze the paper and threw it, the ice crystal broke from the impact. "Hey man! I wanted to read the rest!" Natsu yelled. "You read enough" Gray said and he walked out of the bar. Lisanna and Natsu followed. 

The trio took another little walk until they returned to the guild. When they walked to the doors, Jason from the Sorcerer Weekly magazine walked pass them and said "Soo un-cool" The three were a bit confused until they walked into the guild hall. "Why did you do that Master?!" "Don't you care about your own Guild's reputation?" "It's always about them" cries and Complaints were heard everywhere by everyone. "It's to teach you Brats a lesson" Master Makarov yelled and went back to his office. Gray, Natsu and Lisanna walked up to Levy, Jet and Droy. "What happen?" Lisanna asked, "Master just exposed all of us." Jet said. "what do you mean exposed?" Gray asked. "Didn't you see the newspaper?" Droy spat. "Yea what about it?" Natsu spat back. "Well a guy from sorcerer weekly came and asked Master about it but, instead of defending his guild, he told him the whole story!" Levy yelled throwing her hands in the air. "WHAT!" the three yelled. Levy just nodded. 

Natsu noticed Wendy taking a job from the S-class board and walking down the stairs. He immediately ran up to her and stopped her, "Hey Wendy, where are you going with that job?" Natsu asked raising his eyebrows. "Taking it, duh," Wendy said in a dull tone, much different than her usual chirpy voice. "You're not even S-class, what makes you think you can do it alone?" Natsu said while trying to take the job out of her hands. Suddenly, Erza and Mira walked up to them, "Whoever said she was taking it alone?" Mira asked, "Also Natsu, Wendy is the newest S-class wizard in fairy tail." Erza added. "WHAT! MASTER! WE NEED TO TALK. HOW CAN WENDY BE AN S-CLASS WIZARD BEFORE ME?" Natsu yelled as he ran up the stairs to Master Makarov's office. Wendy then appeared in front of Natsu and punched him to the wall. Everyone turned their heads to see the tiny Wendy just punched the fireball called Natsu. "I don't think so Natsu. I don't think you noticed so, let me inform you. I've been going on many solo jobs ever since you've ignored Lucy and Juvia. In many of them, I've gotten a lot of training. I've developed many new skills including this one." Wendy then disappeared and re-appeared in front of Natsu. The guild stared in shock. "I can turn into the wind and travel with it, much like Juvia's Waterbody," Wendy said in a dark tone. "Now, if you'll excuse us, Team Dark Wings have a job to go to," Erza said as her, Mira and Wendy left the Guild. 

*The Next Day*

A lot of the Guild members walked around Magnolia because they had nothing else to do. Everywhere they went, they were being yelled at and shamed, "You guys always talk about family and you do this!!" "This isn't the fairy Tail I knew!" "I'm gonna miss Juvia and Lucy!" "At least Erza, Mira and Wendy weren't stupid." "I'm surprised they didn't leave the guild with Lucy and Juvia." "True, but who would help Makarov handle those idiots." 

That was the start of Fairy Tail's most hated time period. This didn't last long, but long enough to affect the guild, more than it already was.
