It's been 2 weeks since Lucy has been in the guild's infirmary after the mission that was successful in the end. Natsu has been in the infirmary constantly since the tragic accident. When Lucy finally starts opening her eyes, Natsu looks for the rest of the gang. Everyone crowds into the room then fanning out in the room. Shadow gear at Lucy's right, Laxus and his group in the corner, Natsu sits right next to her with her hands intertwined with his.
"Lucy, how you feeling?" He asks me in a gentle voice. I blink a few times before i can clearly see anyone or recognize where I am, in which I didn't.
"I'm fine, but why do you call me Lucy and why are you holding my hands? Should I know who you are?" I question the strange pink haired man who sat beside me with my hands in his. I remove my hands slowly and gently.
"Oh, c`mon Luce stop playing around. You know who I am." He says again. His smile soon turns into a serious face for my confused look must say it all. I was unsure of who he was. I surveyed the room trying to remember who everyone is and where I am, but alas I can not.
"Why do you call me Lucy? And may I know where I am?" I ask around trying to get answers. Everyone in the room who was smiling is no longer.
"Miss, your name is Lucy Heartfilia and you are in the Fairy Tail infirmary. You are one of our best and most appreciated member. You're a celestial mage." A short old man comes up to my side explaining more than what anyone has said until now. I could here some whispers in the back of my mind shouting ZODIAC, LEVY, WENDY, and LAXUS.
"Then who are you, sir? The guild master?" I try to piece together slowly, until I get a better understanding of my critical situation.
"Yes I am." He says with the brightest smile in the whole room. The girl behind him is also smiling, so warm, I feel like we were or should be friends.
"May I know who are Levy, Wendy, and Laxus?" I ask the little old man.
"I'm Wendy Marvel. Lucy, how do you remember my name though?" A little girl who looked about the age of 9 but maybe a little older.
"Levy McGarden, at your service. Lucy, do you recognize me at all?" A slender short blue haired girl spoke out.
A young man with spiky blond hair in the corner, turns to met my gaze. Getting up off of his chair into the crowd towards my bed. "Yes, Lucy need anything?" He asks as if he was obliged to ask.
I thought it over in my head. If I know his name and the other 2 girls then this must be a sign that they are my friends and Laxus is my boyfriend. Only a boyfriend's name should be in my thoughts. Right?
He leans down a little to hear my request. "Kiss me" I say with a cute smile.
He blushes and then stops, turning away in a rough movement. "I can't do that" he says.
"And why not?" I ask.
The pink haired man at my side turns away. He looks back at me. "He can't do that because-" He stops himself before he gets any further. "Do you know who I am at all?" He demands to know.
In my silence I nod my head incapable of a verbal answer. He gets up and walks out of the room. Levy the slender blue haired girl looks at me as if I had done something amazingly wrong. A red haired girl goes after the pink haired man. The guild masters orders everyone out of the room except for Levy, Wendy, and Laxus.
"Lucy, I know that you have just awoken, but have to ask do you remember much from before now?" Levy asks me.
"Just fragments, like small moments. I remember when I first got here with a guy and that same day I was accepted. I remember I met you. Later on I met Laxus, I remember the small moments when he decides to come to my home as surprise visits and everything, not to mention the other night. Last, I remember Wendy who had shown me kindness, she has been like a younger sister to me." I remember as much as I could.
"What are you talking about the other night?" Laxus's face changed from cold as ice to warm and concerned.
"Yes, don't remember? You had told me how much you care for me and how much you love me." I say.
"Yes now, I remember." He says at last.
Levy and Wendy shoot him a look of disappointment and small anger.
"Levy. Wendy. Will you leave us a moment?" He requests from the both of them. They walk out the door silently and most angry at Laxus, I don't know why.
"Lucy, I know you don't remember much of who you really mean to be talking about but, I think it would be best if I took you home and showed you that I am not who you think I am." He says as I frown.
"Why can't you tell me now?" My impatience grows.
"Because, i have to put it in a delicate manner and I need the help of a few friends. For now, you are going to Levy's place for the night until we can figure out how we are going to find a way to retrieve your memory in the simplest way possible." He hesitates in finishing.
"Levy, come in. I'm heading out on a mission." He says rummaging through his pockets quickly. "Lucy, I want you to hold onto this. It was given to me as a child. Now, when you finally know who everyone is and who you are then you give it back. Got it?" He tosses a golden necklace with a small lightning bolt hanging off of it. He leaves the room. Levy and Wendy come back in.
"What did he say to you?" Levy breaks the silence.
"I know you don't remember much of who you really mean to be talking about but, I think it would be best if I took you home and showed you that I am not who you think I am" I quoted him. "But what does he mean, He's not who I think he is, girls?" I ask so confused.
"DO you remember anything that you guys did form before?" she asks covering Wendy's ears.
"What do you mean?" I still do not grasp what she is trying to tell me.
"Did you guys mate?" she asks me clarifying the "anything" part.
