Chapter One: I Think Something's Wrong.

Lucy moaned in discomfort, rolling to her side to see if repositioning herself would ease her pain at all. Unfortunately, the new position did little other than allow pain to seep into new places thanks to the new angle. A groan escaped her lips. Why in the world was she feeling so miserable? She'd never in her life experienced such pain before.

The blonde glanced at her clock. I'm late, she thought to herself. My team is going to start to worry if I don't head to the guild soon. They were supposed to be going on a mission that day and, instead of meeting at the train station like they normally would, they were to meet at the guild. Lucy began to sit up slowly, wincing as the pain shot from her gut into her chest. Perhaps she could have Wendy heal her before the mission.

With incredible care Lucy got up and attempted to stretch out. She abruptly stopped when her pain only increased. She took some deep breaths. In, out, in, out, she thought. A smile crept onto her lips as the pain began to subside. Grateful, she began to gather her things for the mission. Maybe it was just a strange cramp? She had no clue, so she shrugged and spun around to open the door.

"Lucy!" an all too familiar voice sang out. She turned to face her window. Sure enough Natsu was there staring at her quizzically. She knew why he was there. She'd say that Erza had sent him to retrieve her, but she knew Natsu would have volunteered to come and get her anyway. She was already prepared to explain her tardiness.

"Hey, sorry I'm running late. I wasn't feeling well this morning," Lucy said with an apologetic smile.

"You're okay now, right Luce?" Natsu asked eying her with worry. Lucy just nodded and smiled, spinning to open her door.

"Ah!" She clutched at her chest falling to her knees. It hurt. It hurt so much. She could faintly hear Natsu calling out to her in panic, but she couldn't focus on that. She couldn't focus on anything, actually. Her vision was getting blurry and it was getting hard to breathe. She felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

"Lucy? Lucy, what's wrong?" Natsu shouted. She couldn't answer. The pain was too intense, she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't see. Then, there was nothing.

Her eyes fluttered open. That was the first thing Lucy registered when she woke up: she could see. The second thing she noticed was that she could breathe again.

"Lucy-san?" the familiar voice of Fairy Tail's Sky Dragon Slayer met with her ears. Her eyes drifted over to the bluenette standing beside her. "Are you feeling any better?"

"Yes, thank you, Wendy," Lucy replied. She smiled sweetly at the girl who, in return, smiled back. She slowly sat up but made no attempt to get up from the bed. Really, she just didn't feel up to it. Her brain felt dead and slightly fried. Thoughts floated through her mind without any order or motivation to further be pondered upon. Wendy, no doubt, had healed her when... Natsu had brought her to the guild, hadn't he? Natsu... Where was he? Was he still at the guild? That pink-haired idiot would probably be fighting with Gray by now. Pink hair... It was kind of cute. Fire was red and his hair was a shade lighter than red. Wendy had blue hair like the sky. Laxus had yellow hair, like lightning.

"Lucy-san?" Wendy said loudly. It snapped Lucy from her odd thoughts. "Natsu-san said that you weren't feeling well this morning. May I ask what your symptoms were?" she asked softly.

I hurt, she thought. It burnt. It felt like I was burning from the inside out. She wouldn't want to scare the poor child, though.

"I think it was just some strange cramps," Lucy replied. Of course Wendy was skeptical about her answer. I don't believe you. And she gave her a look that said exactly that. Lucy sighed. "It might have just been heartburn or acid reflex for all I know. I could really be just fine."

"I asked for your symptoms, not your self-diagnosis," Wendy said sternly folding her arms across her small chest. She cared about her friend. She disliked being disrespectful in any way with any of her friends, but if Lucy was in poor health Wendy wanted to know exactly what it was so she could heal her.

Lucy sighed again and gently bit her bottom lip. Truth be told, she didn't think her symptoms were normal at all for any simple illness. She could just tell. She knew that Wendy suspected something was wrong as well. Might as well tell her, Lucy figured.

"It... burnt." She cringed slightly remembering the feeling.

"Where did this feeling occur?" the little bluenette questioned.

"E- everywhere... It started as a small cramp then it got worse. It would shoot into my legs when I laid a certain way and at one point it spread in my chest. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see. Wendy, it was just... so intense." Her eyes had started watering, tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. "I'm scared, Wendy."

Wendy put her hands up to Lucy using her magic to see if she'd missed anything plaguing her blonde friend's body. Her eyes widened with shock.

"Uh, Lucy-san? I... I think something's wrong."

END NOTE: There we have it. First chapter posted. Don't forget to tell me what you thought of it. Leave reviews or even PM me if you'd like. I have some other stories that I want to start after this one. I'll be working on chapters of my other stories, as well, to build them up so I can just post them on a schedule. Anyway, sorry I've been kind of MIA. I'm back now and I can't wait to hear from ya!
