"Hey Happy, Lets go pick a mission!" Natsu called to a blue tom cat stuffing his face with fish. The guild was quiet this early in the morning. It was late spring. The cool, fresh air flowed through the open window.
"It's Lucy's turn," Happy reminded him, polishing off yet another set of fish bones. Meanwhile, Natsu's eyes scanned the inhabiting guild members.
"Where is Lucy?" The dragon slayer pondered scratching his head in thought. He hadn't seen the blonde mage for a few days. Her apartment was empty when he checked in through the window.
The pink-haired boys eyes locked onto the cheerful bar maid with long white hair. Polishing a glass as she always did. A small devilish curve appeared on the salamanders lips. His fellow blue exceed sensed the fire mage's sly behaviour and decided to join in. Partners in crime.
Mira felt unease slip through her body by Natsu's presence. "Hello Mira!" The dragon slayer gleamed.
"H-Hey Natsu." Mira smiled sheepishly, thumbling with the glass.
"So..." He began, leaning his elbows on the bar top. Dark onyx eyes glared right into her. "Where's Lucy?" He cut to the chase.
"What do you mean?" She mumbled nervously, wiping the glass harder.
"Lucy. I know you know where she is!" The pink haired boy accused. For some reason it felt important to him to find out, at all cost. Was he...worried?
"No I don't!" She protested. The salamander tilted his head in thought for a moment.
"But I want to see her." The fire mage whimpered, using his best puppy dog eyes. He knew exactly what to say to get the information he wanted. The S-class mage couldn't hold herself back. She broke. The obsessions she harboured about the Fairy Tail couplings got the best of her. Just like Natsu planned.
"She had a doctor's appointment today!" The silver-haired girl burst. She gawked at her words, instantly slapping her hands over he mouth.
"Doctors!" the two boys exclaimed in unison. "Why is she at the doctors?"
"It's none of your business!" A familiar voice called from the door. The three mages looked around to see a certain blond celestial wizard standing in the doorway. The stellar mage glared at them in irritation.
She wore a short blue mini skirt with a plain black top. Decorated with a blue tear drop entwined in silver, like ivy holding the stone in its grip. Refracting off the day light, it almost looked like the ocean. Her belt was equipped with her keys and Etiole. As her fingers caressed the leather whip, all three mages gulped.
"Lucy!" A small kittenish whimper cried. A blue flying cat charged into Lucy wrapping it's arms around her neck.
"Happy!" The brown-eyed mage exclaimed, plucking the blue felines paws off from strangling her.
"What are you two doing?" She asked sternly finally being released from the clinging fur ball. "Well?" She added, setting her hands on her hips.
"We thought you were dying." Happy whimpered.
"Dying!" She exclaimed. "Where did you get an idea like that?" She groaned pulling the little exceed into her arms, sypmathetically. Gently, she set him down on the bar top, even though the cat was reluctant to let go.
"Mira said you went to the hospital." Natsu muttered, looking down at his feet.
"I didn't say she went to the hospital, I said she had a doctor's appointment!" Mira growled. Lucy's nails tapped rhythmically on the bar. Deep brown eyes gazed hard and cold at the S-class bar maid. Mira-Jane ducked her head picking up another glass, avoiding the celestial mage's disappointed gaze.
"Mira..." The stellar wizard whined.
"I'm sorry! Natsu said he was concerned and he just wanted-" Mira cried but was caught of by the brown-eyed girl's raised eye brows.
"Oh Natsu said..." Redirecting her stone cold eyes at the salamander.
"I just wanted to know where you were..." The fire mage muttered, his eyes still avoiding hers. In turn, Luce studied the three and their guilt-ridden, apologetic faces. A small sigh of exasperation escaped her lips.
"I was at the doctors for some booster shots, That's all." She moaned. Mira slid her a vanilla milkshake as an apology.
"If it was just booster shot, why did you hide it from us?" Happy asked. A flicker of distress passed over the blond mage's face.
"Becuase I knew you would jump to conclusion...like just now if i told you I was of to see a doctor." She snapped defensively.
"Sorry Luce," Natsu laughed, swinging his arm over her small shoulders. She let out a small wince, and the dragon slayer began to retract his arm, but stopped.
"You alright?" He questioned her, looking innocent as usual.
"Yeah. Great." She sarcastically smiled. Natsu took it at face value. Such a dense boy.
"Well let's go on a mission then; Your pick!" Cheerily he gave her a small squeeze. The celestial mage's gaze dropped.
"I can't." She muttered. The pink boy looked at her curiously. The stellar mage's face looked lonely and depressed.
"What?"
"I said...I can't." She replied. Her voice was shaky, like it was really hard to say. A lump formed in her throat as she spoke.
"What do you mean you can't?" Salamander asked innocently.
"I just can't!" The brown-eyed girl snapped rising from the stool. Quickly, she swatted away the dragon slayers arm and stormed out the guild. Slamming doors echoed behind her. The whole guild dropped silent.
"I wonder what's up with her?" The flying blue cat pondered. Natsu nodded. Both of them glared at the two doors stunned. Noise began to fill up as the guild returned back to what is was usually doing; shouting, fighting, drinking etc. The dragon slayer and his companion turned to the bar maid. Mira shrugged.
"I don't know. She has been a little bothered since yesterday. But now she's definatly upset." Mira deduced. "You should go after her."
"Aye!" Happy called as the two ran out the guild after the girl. Mira smiled mischievously at the romantic thought of Natsu chasing after the celestial wizard.
