[Lucy's POV]
"Lucy!" I saw Natsu cried out from pain.
We only came here to guard the festival of the king for a night.
A small kingdom in Malt Town.
That was the mission.
Turns out, they have a strong mage against the kingdom. Mizuki, the mage of Memory Reflection.
He wanted to steal the castle's hidden treasure for great power. We were rushed into action.
Natsu along with Happy and me managed to defeat the mage. Although, one unwanted event happened.
Natsu got hit with his magic, right before the memory mage was trapped and sent to the dungeon.
[Three days later - Noon]
"Is he awake yet?" Erza came in the door from where Natsu was resting. He was placed in the guild clinic at the back of the building.
"Not yet. And it doesn't seem to be soon" as Gray slowly stripped, Erza nodded agreeing to his thoughts.
"How could you act so normal around Erza Gray-sama?" as I saw Juvia clenching her teeth from jealousy hiding behind the door
"We researched that man's magic. Mizuki Teseru was a Memory Reflector mage. Once the attacker hits his opponent, the memory reflector will reflect whatever the attacked was thinking at that very moment. It seems like they are bound to think about their magic and lose memory of it forever, and that alone. That makes them unable to cast it again. That's the strategy of this magic." Erza continued
"Would that mean that Natsu will never be able to use fire magic ever again?" Happy's eyes were filled with tears looking at Natsu's resting body as he appealed Erza with his question
"That would only be true if he was thinking about his magic when he was hit."
"We brought some other books that could probably lead us to full understanding about it's cons and pros" as Levi and Wendy arrived in the scene carrying tons of books twice their size
"Waa? Aren't you too small for those books that you're carrying Levi?" Erza asked as she was shocked seeing two tiny women with such big books
"Gray! Carry them!"
"What do you think of me? A slave?" as he raised his eyebrows against her commands
"Do you have any problems?"
"Yes... Master." Gray gulped from his throat. I bet he's swallowing his pride.
"Gray-sama! Call me master too!" as Juvia whined
"Lucy-san would you like to come along too?" Wendy came closer. She looked at me worried as Erza and Gray went out of the room.
"I'll just stay here with Natsu for a little while!" I grinned at her indicating I'm fine, although deep inside I still feel incomplete.
I may have money to pay rent this month, but I don't have Natsu to share my apartment with. This thought alone frightened me.
"We can really use your intelligence you know?" as Charle suggested showing the same emotion as Wendy.
"Happy will be there! I just don't want to leave Natsu for now" I playfully shoved Happy into them to take him instead of me.
"Lucyy! I don't want to leave Natsu either! Horrible!" as Happy shouted while he was being dragged by Charle out of the room.
"We'll have fish tonight Happy!" after I assured him, he came with Charle willingly "Aye sir!" as he left the room.
I looked at Natsu again, seeing him like this really scares me.
Nobody else was around while I looked at Natsu's sleeping face. I felt satisfied as I saw him snoring as expected.
"You'll be fine, Natsu" I whispered into his ears. My face was closer to his as I stared at him for ages.
I watched the sun from the room steadily set down, the wind ghastly passed by,even the birds merrily sung.
Nothing was changed since three days ago, I sat there waiting for his return.
"Lucy! Lucyy! Natsu! Natsu is awake!" Happy happily cried in my arms.
I fell asleep in the side of the bed where Natsu was resting, at the moment he's gone.
"He's out there fighting with Gray again! Ahaha! Usual Natsu!" Happy said with so much happiness in his eyes
We went out into the guild hall to see if Natsu was completely fine just to make sure.
"He woke up like a minute ago and now he's fighting with Gajeel again, I'm so happy!" Happy exclaimed flying into their fight
The whole guild was now in a roar. Things are flying out of the air like desks, chairs, Gajeel and beers.
As usual, other mages joined the fight.
I decided to back out and sit at the bar with Mira-san.
"You should be very glad, Lucy!" as she greeted me
"Yeah! I am" as I smiled back at her.
"Erza and others are still reading those massive books they just found from Levi's room. I'm sure we don't have any problems now, cause it seems like Natsu is still a fire mage, right?" as Mira stood from the counter of the bar holding a piece of cloth she usually use for cleaning utensils
The moment stopped. Mira's words caught my attention. I never noticed but ever since Natsu woke up, he was still using his magic. I was just focused on him being awake, that was enough for me. However if Natsu can still use his magic, that would mean that he wasn't thinking about his magic when he got hit, what could he be thinking about then?
"Yeah? What could he be thinking about?" I gave Mira a glance as she just repeated every word I said
"You realize you said it out loud right?" as she gave me a drastic look
"Of course I knew that!" as I gave her a cheeky smile giving in from embarrassment.
Back to their fight, Happy kept flying around the commotion with Natsu to enjoy himself as well
"Natsu! We'll be eating fish tonight! Lucy said!" as he shouted to Natsu desperately trying to get heard
"Trudy? Who?"
"Lucy said that..." as Happy started to feel something's not right
"Tootsie?" Natsu continued
Everyone stopped from the fight as they heard Natsu's words. It's like the time stood still for the other mages as they couldn't believe what this occurrence led into. Nobody could make a move leaving Natsu completely clueless and confused.
"No way?" Mira looked at me as she realized.
