Lucy felt wet all over and an odd pressure on her chest.
What's going on?
Then her lips felt... lips!
Her eyes flew open and she made a shocked noise.
The man immediately pulled back and gave a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing?" she asked him surprised and a bit accusatory.
"You fell in the canal. I was trying to revive you."
"Well, I seem pretty revived now," she flashed him an appreciative smile once his face was a comfortable distance away from hers. "Thank you." she said as he stood up, the bite out of her words now.
The man bent over and helped Lucy up. "You're quite welcome."
Once she was standing, she scanned their surroundings. Someone was missing. Where was Plue?
The guy noticed her searching for something. "Oh, you're pet? He dissapeared when I pulled you out."
"That makes sense. Thanks again for saving me." she started off to finish her walk home.
"Wait!" he called. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Of course!" she replied over her shoulder.
"Be careful."
As he watched her go, he was certain he heard her laugh at his last comment.
Lucy immediately took her clothes off, hung them up to dry, and took a bath. Afterwards, she went to bed. The next morning Lucy awoke refreshed.
She grabbed her now dry clothes and pulled them on. Something seemed a bit off, but she couldn't determine what it was. Nevertheless, she shrugged the feeling off. There wasn't much time to ponder at the moment.
She had to head to the guild.
Lucy was frozen. She was positive her mouth was hanging open, too; an obvious sign of her astonishment. The Fairy Tail Guild Hall did not look like that yesterday.
Well, the only way to get answers is to go in.
She entered cautiously. Lucy was right, the inside had changed, too. Thankfully, one thing was still the same.
She rushed to the bar as if it were the last life preserver on a sinking ship. (Which, in this case, it kind of was.)
"Mirajane!"
"Hi Lucy! What may I help you with?" the kind lady asked as she washed a mug.
"What happened to the guild?"
"What do you mean?"
Lucy stared at Mira. How could she not notice the changes?
Mira put down the rag and glass. "Lucy are you alright?"
The blonde shook her head. "The guild's different! Can't you see the changes?"
Now Mira became concerned. "Lucy, these changes were made after Phantom Lord attacked us."
Cue mouth hanging open, again.
"When, when did Phantom Lord attack us?"
"Let's go ask Lucy if she wants to take on another request."
"Aye."
Lucy wasn't hard to find as she was chatting with Mira. Natsu and Happy quickly approached the two. Lucy appeared bewildered and scared. Mira looked worried.
"What's going on?" asked Natsu.
"I don't know." Lucy groaned. Her head fell into her crossed arms that lay on the bar's top.
"What's wrong with Lucy?" inquired Happy.
"She doesn't remember the Phantom Lord attack." Mira slowly responded.
"How could she not remember? It was her fau-"
Mira threw her rag at the blue cat.
"Is it just that?" Natsu inquired.
Mira shrugged. She hadn't asked.
Natsu poked Lucy. She raised her head. "What?"
"Lucy, have you forgotten anything else?"
"I honestly don't know."
"Forgotten? Who's forgot something?" the newcomer wrapped a friendly arm around Lucy's shoulders. The celestial wizard jumped from her seat at the contact.
"Who are you?!" she questioned the red head in armor.
Erza removed her arm, cleared her throat, and responded, "Lucy, you know me. You have no need to act as if we're not friends."
"Looks like she forgot about you, too, Erza." Happy said as he floated around the group.
"Forgot?"
"Ahh! Erza! You're one of the greatest wizards in Fairy Tail! Wait, we're friends?!"
"Why wouldn't we be?" the armored wizard inquired, not completely sure what was happening.
The four mages around Lucy watched as she passed out. Erza spoke first.
"What did I do?"
