CHAPTER 1 : Doubting Your Self
World POV
"Ouch," A familiar pinkette pouted, " Lucy you stepped on my foot...again!"
'S-sorry Natsu," Lucy was just practicing the steps to dance routine they planned for the talent show, " I'm not use to this style of dancing." She let go of Natsu's hand and went to get a drink of water from a nearby fountain.
Natsu followed and waited till Lucy was done drinking, then went to get a drink himself.
Lucy couldn't help but feel miserable that she still hasn't been able to dance like she used to anymore.
"Natsu...you should chose someone else to be your dance partner," she said, "You know I'm not used to-"
"No," Natsu sad fiercely as he lifted his head from the water fountain and looked at Lucy in a rather angry way.
"But I would just embarrass you and the school if i go up there on stage and mess up..." tears started to form in her eyes as she looked down at her feet.
"Lucy listen, I don't want to dance with anyone else and I won't. If I have to drag you up on stage in front of everyone then so be it,"Natsu proclaimed then his voice got lower and calmer as he lifted her head back up, " That's why we're practicing, to help us figure out what we can and can't do, so we can change the routine to fit our liking."
Lucy wiped the tears coming from her face as she said, "Yeah I guess your right, but you know I've been having trouble with my footing since that accident," Her eyes started to tear up again as the memories flowed back into her head about what happened.
"Lucy it's okay," Natsu said reassuring her worries, "That was in the past and you've improved so much in the past six months. Can't you see that?"
Lucy's POV
Yeah right, he's just saying that to make me feel better, I don't have enough courage to go up in front of everyone and dance like I used to anymore.
"No Natsu... I can't... ever since that day I've been haunted by the memories...the laughing...the embarrassment..."
I didn't want to remember, and I thought it had been over, but the memories just wont go. I don't want to dance anymore. I can't believe the judges even gave us a medal, I ruined the whole thing, and yet Natsu...he...he seems so worry free and -
"Lucy come on that was just an-," Natsu tried to cheer her up, but she didn't want to hear it.
"An accident? That was what you were going to say right? Well It wasn't an accident to me, it was a failure. I'm a failure, and I don't even want to dance anymore. Why do you go around smiling and acting care free all the time?"
Wait...Oh no...I didn't mean to upset him...He looks like he's angry. I didn't mean-
"Because I have the motivation to carry on one day at a time and not hold on to the past," he seems more sad and angry all of a sudden. Did I upset him?
"N-Natsu, I'm sorry I didn't mean-"
"To upset me?" He looks angry at me. I don't want him to be angry at me...
"I'-I'm sorry," tears started to run down my cheek.
Natsu's POV
Why can't she stop blaming herself? Why can't she move on? It's not like it was a big deal...Was it?
My face grew hot with anger, I couldn't stand that my best friend would mentally hurt herself so bad to the point where she wants to give up. "Lucy, stop saying sorry to me, say sorry to yourself,"
That didn't come out how I wanted it to, but I hoped she understands what I'm trying to say.
"Wh-what do you mean to forgi-"
World POV
"Stop doubting your self! Stop saying it was your fault! So what if you made a mistake, You learn from the mistakes you make! I hate seeing you throw your self into the dirt like that!" He stormed out of the room grabbing his backpack and towel, leaving only a confused, and somewhat delusional, blonde to cry to her self in the empty Dance Studio.
Natsu hated seeing Lucy like that and couldn't handle it. For the sake of Lucy, he stormed out the studio and went home, crying...because he knew Lucy had so much potential, but she didn't believe in herself like she used to anymore...before the accident.
"W-Why do I make everything worse," Lucy cried to herself.
She stood in the empty room crying to her self for a few minutes. She walked over to her pink draw string bag on the bench near a window, took out her phone, and called her Aunt Virgo to pick her up since it was late and dark outside.
20 Minutes Later*
Lucy hears a car pull up in front of the Dance Studio. Since every student that uses the Dance Studio gets a key, Lucy turned of the lights, music and locked the door as she left. She had calmed down, though she was still sad and worried. Lucy hadn't heard back from Natsu, he hasn't texted her backeither.
Lucy sighed as she entered the black car, "I'm such a stupid person..." She mumbled to herself.
"Are you okay princess?" Her aunt asked worriedly.
"I'm okay, Me and Natsu were just arguing about..." tears started to build up in Lucy's eyes.
"If you don't want to talk about you don't have to princess," Virgo spoke.
"...okay..." she mumbled to herself as she cried quietly, looking at the scenery as her Aunt drove, and Lucy fell asleep.

CHAPTER 2: Day Off
Lucy's Nightmare POV
"stop...please stop...not again..." Eyes full of terror, Lucy was draped on the floor of the stage, lights and cameras beaming on her at all directions making her red dress that she held tight in embarrassment . Her ankle layed limp on the floor. No one seemed to notice she was hurt. Except for one particular pink-haired who was also her partner.
"Luce...are you hurt?" He said swooping her up bridal style in his red dress shirt and black vest and rushing her backstage.
During their performance on the stage, Lucy had done a great job, until some kid from an opposing team thought it would be funny to pour marbles on the stage. As Lucy twirled from a spin Natsu had given her, she slipped, landed on her ankle, then landed with a thud. It was quiet for a few seconds until the opposing team started booing and calling her a failure. Soon the whole audience started laughing.
World POV
"No...stop it...please...stop it's-"
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Lucy breathed heavily, sweat dripping, and tears rolling down her cheek.
"It was just...just a nightmare..." Lucy looked at her phone, it was on the floor. She guessed it fell of the night stand when her alarm went off. So she picked up her phone and started scrolling down her notifications.
Missed Calls: 3
Messages: 16
She clicked on the messages to find out that Levy, Erza, and Natsu had texted her. She clicked on Levy first:
Lev-chan: Hey Lu-chan I Was Just Going To Tell You I Won't Be Free All Day Today. I Wish I Could Take This Day Off Like The Rest Of The Students :- Anyways Have A Great Day!
Lucy didn't reply knowing that her friend had already started her shift at a local restaurant named Fairy Tail. It was a nice place where kids could let loose and don't have to think about school. So Lucy tapped on Erza's conversation and...:
Titania: He Lucy have you heard about the new cake shop that opened recently. Omg they have so many new flavours I can hardly pick my favorite. It would be nice if you could help me decide:Titania: IMAGE 1Titania: IMAGE 2Titanic: IMAGE 3Lucy stared at the pictures then quickly replied, seen as Erza only just sent this to her 15min ago, and said:
CelestialMage: Umm Erza it's the same piece of cake taken a photo of 3 times...Lucy stared as the little check icon appeared showing that her friend had had seen the text, and is now waiting for a reply. She then tapped on Natsu's conversation:
FireDragon: Hey LuceFireDragon: I'm sorry...please forgive meFireDragon: Lucy I'm sorry 'bout what happened earlier, I didn't mean to storm out.FireDragon:Lucy?FireDragon: I promise I won't call you a weirdo again...FireDragon: Lucy? Hey is your phone dead?FireDragon: I Hope you come to the dance studio for morning practiceFireDragon: Hey morning practice is over. It felt weird not having a partner to dance withFireDragon: Lucy? You ok?FireDragon: Are you ignoring me?FireDragon: Hey Luce, if you don't wanna talk just txt me, I'll understand
Lucy reread the messages once, twice, and after the third time she replied:
CelestialMage: Natsu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to practice. I'm sorry.And without rereading what she wrote she clicked 'Send'. Lucy then got a vibration, tapped on her notifications and saw she had gotten a text from Erza. She then tapped on Erza's conversation. The message read:
Titania: Well actually, The first is of a cake baked in the morning, the second was baked in the evening, and the third had been freshly baked when I arrived.Lucy giggled at how ridiculous Erza could be over such small differences such as what time a caked had been baked, therefore 'Which one was better?' Lucy giggled again and replied:
CelestialMage: Well in that case, I would say neither because each cake would still taste delicious.
Erza quickly replied:
Titania: Agreed though I did find the freshly baked one more tasty, but I guess you have a point because all 3 pieces were delicious :3 Thanks for your help. Talk to you later then.Lucy laughed, then started wondering when Natsu was going to text back. Then speak of the devil, her phone vibrated again and she was happy to see it was Natsu.
FireDragon: Luce...She texted back answering:
CelestialMage: Yeah?...FireDragon: You know you didn't have to say sorry.Without thinking she texted:
CelestialMage: Sorry about that...A/N Hope you guys enjoyed the second chapter. I figured it was time to bring in some other characters.
