HELLO EVERYBODY! :D I especially took some time off of studying today to write this chapter, even though it's kind of short... but I hope you all like it anyways~ ^^


Lucy's eyes flew open. "I'm alive!" She yelled as she sat up with excitement, but she fell back over when racks of pain took over her body. She clenched her jaw as she tried to refrain from screaming out, but ended up letting out a small whimper.

I may be alive, but every part of me feels dead. Lucy thought. Where am I anyways? Lucy moved her head slightly to observe her whereabouts. She was surrounded by medicine cabinets, a couple of sinks, a long counter, and many beds. "It's an infirmary." Lucy realized aloud.

Just then, a dark-haired shirtless boy came into the room. He shouted something to somebody outside before he noticed Lucy was staring at him. "Oh, you're awake!" He said and then turning outside the door and yelling, "OI, EVERYBODY, SHE'S AWAKE!"

All of a sudden, people started to barge into the room.

"Lucy! You're finally awake! We were so worried about you!" A long white-haired girl said as she ran up to Lucy's bedside.

"How are you feeling?" The shirtless boy asked, walking beside the white-haired girl.

"LUCY!" A mid-length blue-haired girl pushed everyone aside as she ran up to the celestial mage and gave her a giant hug.

"Levy!" Lucy said before she screamed out in pain from the hug. Levy let go immediately and backed up.

"S-sorry, Lucy! I forgot about your wounds." Levy said quietly, giving Lucy an apologetic smile.

"It's okay, Levy." Lucy said weakly while she gave her childhood friend a small smile. Lucy turned to the shirtless boy. "And I'm alright, well, maybe I'm aching everywhere and I can't even handle a hug, but at least I'm alive."

"That's good. By the way, I'm Gray!" The shirtless boy smiled. He was about to pat Lucy on the shoulder, but he decided against it due to her injuries.

"Lucy!" Erza ran up to Lucy and bowed her head slightly. "I'm sorry for what happened! I should've known that you wouldn't be safe if you left to go to the dorms by yourself. As your roommate, I should've escorted you for your safety and for good manners since you are unfamiliar with the school." Erza took a box out of her bag and placed it beside Lucy.

"Erza…" Lucy said.

"Please accept it!" Erza said quickly. "It is the least I could give you for being such a terrible person."

"Erza, don't worry! It's not your fault I was attacked, but thank you for your concern." Lucy smiled at Erza.

RING! The school bell rang, signalling the beginning of class.

"Ah, shoot!" Gray yelled as he hurried towards the door. "Bye, Lucy. Get well soon!"

"Bye bye, Lucy! I'll meet you later so we can catch up on things." Levy gave Lucy an air hug and hurried out the door.

"Goodbye, Lucy! I will come visit as soon as I can." Erza waved at the celestial mage while running out of the room.

"I guess I have to go teach now." The white-haired girl said as she walked through the doors. "Farewell, Lucy!"

"Wait!" Lucy yelled weakly. "I don't know your name."

"It's Mirajane, but please feel free to call me Mira!" Mira replied from outside of the infirmary.

"Wait…" Lucy thought aloud. "Why am I alone again? AREN'T I SUPPOSED TO STAY AWAY FROM BEING ALONE?!"

Lucy's eyes shifted to the door as it was kicked open. A shady looking guy walked into the infirmary. He had long black hair and piercings on his face and ears. Lucy shrunk back into her blankets. That man is definitely going to kill me.

"H-HELP!" Lucy screamed for dear life. The man's eyes widened. He jumped forward and clamped Lucy's mouth shut.

"W-WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" He yelled, shocked. "I'M HERE TO PROTECT YOU, BUNNY GIRL!"

Lucy stopped trying to scream for help so the man lifted his hand from her mouth. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve and had a mixture of fear, disgust, and shock on her face. "W-what are you talking about?"

The man sighed. "Okay, here's the deal. My name is Gajeel and I have been assigned with guarding you as detention. I've been guarding you for the past week, so don't look at me like that, bunny girl."

"I was out for a week?!" Lucy shrieked. "And why are you calling me bunny girl? Do I look like a bunny to you?!"

"Yes, you were!" Gajeel stated. "And I call you bunny girl because the first time I walked in here to guard you, your hair was all messy and it looked like there were bunny ears on your head." Gajeel put two fingers on the top of his head to symbolize bunny ears.

Lucy sweatdropped. "O-okay then…"

Gajeel gave her a look.

"WELL, I want to sleep now, so don't look at me." Lucy commanded.

"Why can't I? I've been watching you since day one that you passed out." Gajeel replied nonchalantly.

"C-creepy…" Lucy muttered.

"HEY, I HEARD THAT!" Gajeel said angrily. "Anyways, just go to sleep already if you're so tired."

Lucy huffed and onto her side, facing away from the man. The last thing she heard before she drifted off to a deep sleep was:

"Sweet dreams, bunny girl."


Hehehe. You can all interpret Gajeel's last four words however you'd like. Who knows what his feelings towards Lucy are? -shrugs with a knowing grin- Lol, okay, I'm adding suspense. ANYWAYS, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Remember to review, because I love to know what you readers are thinking about the story so far! Buhbye for now~ :)
