When her brown eyes fluttered open, Mira Jane was smiling over her. Lucy sat up and looked around the room. Erza, Gray, Happy, Carla, the guild master, and just about all of the guild members were surrounding her- teary eyed, smiling. Most of them gave her hugs and told her things like, "I'm so glad you're alright!"
Lucy turned to Mira, "how long have I been out for?" One or two tears streamed down her face as she resopnded, "three days."
Lucy's face got sad, "oh," she didn't quite know what to do.
"Where's Natsu?" she asked solomnly. Mira faced the others in the room, "why don't we give her some air? Levy, she could probably use some food- Master, why don't you take everyone to tell everyone else that she's awake, I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear it."
"Mira, where's Natsu?" Lucy asked again, worrily.
"Oh, he was so upset, Lucy... He tried to hide his face, but I could see.. he looked like he was going to cry- none of us thought you'd make it..."
Lucy pulled her body to the edge of the bed. She stepped onto the floor, noticing she was only in a t-shirt with her panties. Her face got red "Whaa?!"
Mira laughed, "your clothes were wet and I didn't want you to get sick."
After they shared a small laugh, Lucy went to step forward a bit and wobbled dizzily. "I- I," it was apparent in her voice that it was hard for her to breathe, and she was so weak that she could barely move. "Lucy, you should stay in bed," Mira-Jane warned.
Levy came in the room with food for Lucy and set it on the end of the bed. "Lucy, what are you doing up?!" she exclaimed.
"Mira, where's Natsu?" Lucy faced her, her expression was stone cold. "Lucy, I-..." after looking Lucy in the eyes, Mira continued, "probably home."
Lucy turned for the door and started running. They called after her, "Lu-shee, wait!", "you haven't even eaten in three days!", and "what are you doing!?"
