Heya! I know I'm updating really early ^^ but I already had the second chapter almost finished before, I just needed to finish off the end and edit it XDD. Plus, I WAS SO HAPPY I GOT REVIEWS! SORRY IF U DON'T LIKE THIS CHAPTER! It's kinda more talking and no action… and I wrote Lisanna how I thought she'd be… I tried not to do OC… but enjoy anyways :P

I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does! :P

Three weeks later...

The guild doors slammed open, revealing a very gloomy Natsu and Happy. The fire dragon slayer ignored the greetings of his fellow guild mates, and slumped into her seat, sinking into a puddle of despair. Mira frowned at the sight, and motioned for Happy to come closer. "He's been like that ever since Lucy left, hasn't he?" Happy nodded slowly, showing his concern for his best friend. Lisanna, noticing something was up, joined the two in their conversation. Happy continued, "He's really quite, and rejected me when I asked him to go fishing with me! Why is he like that, Mira? Is he sick or something? Maybe he ate a really bad fish?" Mira and Lisanna giggled, catching the attention of Levy, Gray and Erza. Soon, they were all crowded around Mira's bar, talking in hushed whispers.

"Hey guys, don't you think Natsu's been awfully miserable lately?" Lisanna said, smirking.

"Hmph. Flame brain's better off crying like a baby."

"Gray! You do not speak of your nakama like that!"

"Y-y-y-yes, sir, E-e-erza!"

"Whatever! This is love, I tell you! LOVE!" Mira cried happily, using a handkerchief to dab at the tears in her eyes.

"Love? Who? That dense idiot? Impossible!" Gray replied, shocked.

"Aye! He can't tell the difference between a male and a female fish!"

"Er…no… Happy, I don't think that is related to what we're talking about… but… omg! It's Lu-chan, right! I'm so excited! This is exactly like the development between Arthur and Christy in the book - "

"Yes, Levy, we'd love to hear that, but another time! Right now we're talking about Lucy and Natsu!" Lisanna piped up, having the same sly smirk her sister had.

"Yes… everyone, that means… MATCHMAKING TIME!"

"Shh! He might hear us!" Levy cried impatiently, praying that Natsu had not snapped out of his trance.

"Pftt… ash for brain's so lost in his thoughts about Lucy he probably won't react to Erza's death glare…"

"What was that?!"

"N-n-n-nothing at a-a-a-all, Erza!"

"Anyways, to give Lucy the best chance at this, we must educate Natsu on issues of love first!"

"But… Lisanna… didn't you have a crush on Natsu too?"

"EH?"

"No, not anymore, that was gone ages ago! I don't think I'm patient enough to wait for Natsu like Lucy does! Hehehe… they will be…"

"So cute together!" Mira finished Lisanna's sentence for her, practically fainting from happiness.

"I see… indeed, they will be a good match. I agree on this couple. I happen to be very experienced in this topic, in fact. In my younger days, they called me the Matchmaking Devil."

"E-e-erza… that title… is a bit… I mean… Matchmaking Devil?"

"Huh? Gray, do you suspect my abilities?"

"Of course not!" Gray waved his hands frantically around, regretting what he said.

"Aye! All he has to do is give Lucy a BIG fish, right?"

No one answered Happy's question, and instead gave him weird looks.

"Wahh! Ignored again!" the blue cat cried, and flew back to the sulking Natsu.

"Heh. Squinty eyes' too dense to see his own feelings, poor Lucy. Why would she fall for such an idiot, anyways?"

"Love has no boundaries!" the take-over sisters and the bookworm squealed.

"Right… I don't understand girls at all..."

"Alright! Since it is settled, all of us will educate Natsu on love, okay! I'll go talk to him first!" Lisanna shouted cheerfully, skipping to where the dragonslayer was sitting.

Natsu had his head rested on the table, when he saw a blur of blue heading towards him. He ignored it, not interested in what it was. Lately, all he ever thought about was Lucy, heck, he even dreamt of her! Maybe that weirdo's weirdness was rubbing off on him, he felt that his heart was being squeezed in an uncomfortable way every time he thought of her (which was always ^^). Did he catch a disease or something? He imagined of Lucy's bright smile, and felt warmed up instantly. How do you even warm up a fire dragonslayer? And he was thinking of Lucy again! He sighed, and turned around, to come face-to-face with a pair of large eyes. "GAH!" he yelled, surprised.

"Natsu, you're acting weirder than Lucy! What's wrong? Did you eat some bad fish or something?" Happy asked, concern written all over his face.

"I don't know, Happy… I've been feeling strange, lately."

"Aye! Do you want to have some of my fish, then?"

"No thanks, buddy. It's just… I've been feeling strange whenever I think about Lucy…" They then heard a small 'kya!' and turned around to see a beaming white haired mage looking at them.

"Lisanna… hey…" Natsu said in an uninterested tone.

Lisanna giggled at the boy, it was just so obvious! She just needed to break the truth to him in an easy way that still got through his thick skull.

"Hey, Natsu! It seems that you've been quite gloomy lately! In fact, ever since Lucy left! What's wrong? Are you sick or something?"

"Yeah, maybe…"

"Well, describe the symptoms to me! Maybe I can help."

Sometime during their conversation, Happy had left, as Wendy had just come back from a job with Carla. He went to get his largest fish, and was now trying to tie up a pretty ribbon on it, with the help of Mira. Jeez, even HAPPY is progressing faster than you, Natsu! If you're still so clueless by the time Lucy gets back, she's gonna be taken by somebody else! Lisanna thought, looking back at Natsu as he tried to explain what was wrong with him.

"Well… my heart has been thumping really quickly sometimes, and in other times, it feels like it's being squeezed tightly, and it's really uncomfortable! Also, there's this strange feeling in my tummy sometimes, like I ate a live fish and it's trying to get out! But then other times, it feels like I'm getting warmer, it's not a bad feeling, it's really comfortable, in fact."

Lisanna almost squealed and fainted at his detailed description. She managed to calm herself, and asked, "Natsu… these symptoms, when do they appear?"

"Hmm… whenever I think of Lucy? Oh, another symptom is that I can't stop thinking about that weirdo."

Then, Lisanna gave a whoop of joy. He was getting there, even if he didn't know what this sickness was called, he admitted that he thought about Lucy! Natsu gave her a weird look, and she fake-coughed a bit before talking again.

"Natsu… I know what your sickness is."

"Really? What is it?"

"Erm… it's called love. "

"Love…?"

"Yes, love. It isn't really a sickness, and everyone feels it at some point of their life. It's when you like someone more than a nakama or family."

With this, the dense guy gave a confused look.

"How do you like someone more than a nakama?"

"Erm… well… you said the symptoms only happens when you're around Lucy, right? Well… that's because you are in love with her."

Natsu just gave Lisanna a blank look. She sighed. This was going to be a long talk.
