Lucy Scarlet [Discontinued]

"Lucy! Wake up, we need to go to the guild," I heard Liz saying while I opened my eyes.
"I'm up, I'm up," I said tiredly. I got up and did my morning routine. Soon I got ready to go to the guild.
"Let's go!" I said brightly.

I walked on the edge of the street, humming a melody. Since yesterday, Liz has been really happy. But at times I see her thinking of something. I tried to ask what was bothering her but she didn't say anything.

Elizabeth opened to door wide open and greeted everyone. The hall was full in cheers and chatters.
"Hey Liz, Luce!" Natsu greeted us as we sat down.
"Luce?" I questioned once I registered it.
"Yeah! I thought I would give you a nickname too, Luce," Natsu grinned. He's such a child at times. Liz and I ordered our drinks and then the celestial spirit asked Natsu, "so who else is on your team Natsu?"
"Oh, Gray and Erza. But the icicle should be here somewhere-" before Natsu could finish, someone punched him.
"Would you ever shut up Ash For Brains?" A pale man said. He had raven hair and his eyes look so much as the clouded sky.

No way.

"You didn't have to punch me you Ice Freak!" Natsu retorted.
"I was just getting sick of hearing you, Flame Brain," the man said back to Natsu.
"Shaved Ice."
"Fire Clown."
"Okay please stop!" Elizabeth shouted at them. I was kind of zoning out but I realised the pale man was staring at me.
"Who are you?" Gray asked. He sat down with Natsu following suit.
"L...Lucy. Nice to meet you," I said slowly. I recognize him now. "Gray Fullbuster." The man seemed surprised for a second.
"No last name?" Gray asked.
"Last names, huh?" I muttered. I smiled a bit, remembering what happened back then.

"Um... Lucy."
"No last name?"
"Wh-what that?"

"Welcome to our family, Lucy Fullbuster!"

"Welcome to the family, Lucy Heartfillia."

I stared at Gray before I said, "I don't remember mine anymore. Travelled too much probably."
"Ah... Alright," Gray said, kind of surprised.
"If you're thinking that Luce is that girl you're searching for, I don't think she's it," Natsu stated. 'Girl you're searching for,' so he's been looking for me?
"Oh, I remember now!" Liz yelled like she's a scientist that figured out how everything exists as it is. But then I realized she's probably remembered about my past. Before she said anything else, I glared at her. "Um, just ignore me, haha..."

=-= Elizabeth's POV =-=

Lucy left a while ago, saying she went to buy food for tonight. Natsu and Happy went to their place to see any possible places where Igneel is. So I'm somewhat stuck with Gray.
"Erza is still on that S-Class mission, so you'll meet her later," Gray said when I ordered a drink. "Who are you anyway?" He asked as he looked at me.
"I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz," I smiled. Gray just stares at me for some moments and instantly sighs. "What was that exchange anyway?" I soon asked, feeling a bit awkward. It took some moments for him to reply.
"I met this girl when I was around seven, her name was also Lucy," he answered, "but she left after three years or so staying with me and my family."

I looked down at my drink, thinking.
