Chapter 2
Blank Slate
Gray marched over and planted himself firmly behind Natsu.
"Hey Flamebrain, I see you managed to drag your sorry ass outta bed this morning. What's the occasion?"
Natsu didn't respond. In fact he didn't even blink, staring blankly at the wall instead.
"Yo stupid I'm talking to you." Gray tried again.

"He's been like this for days," cried Happy.
The feline had been hovering nervously around Natsu's head, finally settling on a table.
"Hey Natsu," Gray nudged his friend, "wake up man, you're freaking me out."
Finally Natsu blinked and turned slowly.
"Gray? When did you get here?"
