Chapter 1: Never ending troubles

Lucy's POV

Consistently as ever, today was another rampant day in Fairy Tail just as always, people getting into fights, drunken people, inanimate and animate objects being thrown who-knows-where, and finally more idiotic fights.

I sighed in relief, knowing Fairy Tail, it would be shocking to see that the guild was normally quiet if I walk inside. I put my usual smile on and walked near the bar to where Mira was.

"~Good Morning Lucy." She chimed at me

"Good Morning to you to Mira." I calmly smiled at her then took a seat near the counter.

"So, do you want anything to drink?" she asked me, while I kept thinking of what would be best to drink in this fine and noisy morning, then finally concluded to my mind.

"Oh, then how about tea?" I grinned at her like a little girl while she responded to me with a nod then off to prepare it. While I was waiting for Mira, I plopped myself near the counter and tried to relax a little even with all the chaos around and thought about the mission Me, Erza, Natsu, and Gray finished yesterday, though something was still bothering me about what happened yesterday…I keep having the feeling that Gray was being over-protective of me that time, though at the same time I kept thinking that it was nothing.

My thoughts were disturbed by a certain fire dragon slayer and a blue exceed, and yes, you guessed it, Natsu and Happy. He yelled at me as I faced him while he said Good Morning to me as I replied to him with a smile. For no reason my eyes were like glued to him and followed where he was going until he stopped near another known ice mage and yet AGAIN started another fight with Gray, who was peacefully sitting at a bench just when Natsu agitated him, after that their fight begun.

Then suddenly, I heard Mira calling my name, so I faced her just to already see that my tea was already done.

"Here Lucy I hope you like it." She said to me while giving her best known smile.

"Thanks Mira, by the way what tea is this?" I asked her in curiosity

"Take a sip and guess." With that told, I held the handle of the tea cup in my hand and held it near my lips and sipped a little, since it was too hot, then I placed it down on the counter. "It's Earl Grey…is it?" I told her, though I wasn't sure of my answer as she spoke up

"Yes its Earl Gre-" Mira's words were cut while I gave out a puzzled expression on my face. Unknown to me a chair was thrown towards my direction, suddenly I heard someone calling me or more like shouting at me.

"Lucy, watch out!" When I heard the voice I knew it was Gray, so I turned my head to where he was though that was when I noticed the chair nearly towards me. The last thing I remembered was a painful landing to the floor ending my whole vision to black out.

Normal POV

(Before that happened)

"Hey ice cube, what are you doing there being all peaceful." Natsu stated at Gray, who was for no reason being awfully quiet since he arrived at the guild.

"It's none of your business walking match-stick." He told him with a slight of sarcasm in his tone

"Shut up Popsicle, I just asked you a question." Both of them glared for a while, then of course their name insulting fight just begun. "Just what do you want from me, flame brain?" he stood up from his seat while getting closer to Natsu. "What I want eh? You know what I want." He pumped his fist in the air like an idiot he is then started speaking again "Fight me Gray, today I'll really beat you." He said, confident with his words.

"Bring it on, Ice Make-" Grays' words were cut when Natsu throwed a chair at him causing him to fall at the floor. "What did you do that for idiot?" as he said those words he heard Natsu laugh at him.

"An opening! Now, Roar of the Fire Dragon." Though, Gray managed to block the attack.

"Payback time, Ice Make: Floor." The floor Natsu was standing on became ice, due to that he slipped and fell "I need another opening!" He thought, that was when he saw Gray getting ready for another attack. Natsu tried to find another object to throw at him when the only thing he saw near him was another chair, as just as he did before he threw the chair at Gray's direction but sadly, he dodged the attack again.

"Trying to make another opening aren't yo-" When Gray eyed where the chair was directing, his eyes went wide when he noticed that it was headed near Lucy, who was sitting near the counter and unaware of what was happening, he managed to shout at her saying "Lucy, watch out!" he ran towards her just as she faced him and also noticed the chair.

Gray made a quick move and swiftly managed to grab Lucy with him to the floor. He noticed that he shielded her but was bewildered to see the latter lose conscious in the process of the impact between her head and the hard floor.

"Lucy!" Natsu and Happy shouted with a hint of worry as he rushed to where she was, and then Mira shrieked after-

"Lucy!" Mira shouted

"Lu-chan! Are you alright." Levy was able to see what happened and rushed to where Lucy was only to see an unconscious Lucy laying on the floor with Gray next to her.

(After)

The whole guild went quiet as they all witnessed the scene, some were even showing glum expressions on their face worrying for their favorite Celestial Mage. There was a short silence when Mira broke it- "Gray, help me get Lucy to the infirmary." The older mage asserted with eyes full of anguish and concern. Gray did as she said and carried Lucy in his arms then walked to the infirmary following behind with a teary-eyed Levy, Happy, and a guilty looking Natsu.

Inside the infirmary Gray laid Lucy down on one of the beds and left Mira to take a look at her. Mira was attending to the latter looking for wounds or injuries but suddenly smiled when she just felt a bump on Lucy's head, well it's better than an injury, no?

The three other mages were showing serious looks while darting their eyes on the take-over mage who was still taking care of Lucy then turned around to the others and finally spoke "Don't worry you three, Lucy only has a bump on the head which made her lose conscious after a hard impact to the floor." She told them then suddenly smiled when she heard them sigh in relief.

"Levy, why don't you tell the others that Lucy's all right." She ushered the petite mage then began speaking again "They must be really worried about her. " she finished her statement as the other nodded and went out of the door to do what she was told.

"Now…mind telling me who started it?" she asked the two mages who were left inside with a horrifying smirk. "Erza might want to hear this, lucky for you two that she's on a mission or both of you will be dead by now." She told them while hearing them gulp.

"It's was his fault!" both of them stated while pointing at each other

"What?" Gray managed to say "I'm the one who saved her!" he shouted at Natsu while he shouted back "She lost conscious because you made her head bump into the floor stripper!"

"You were the one who started throwing chairs salmon head!" While the ice and fire mage started fighting again Happy, who was on the bed near Lucy, covered his ears in agony while Mira was about to scream but was stopped by an awaking Lucy.

"Lucy!" the three of them shouted, as they went closer to her Lucy was giving them a puzzled look then spoke up

"Who's Lucy?" she asked the three while they were all wide-eyed...
