(a/n): Thanks for the review! Unfortunately, only madin456 grabbed a cookie. And... ants took it. -.-" Thanks anyway, some people said the chapter was short... well, it kinda is, actually. D:

Chapter Two: Lucy or Lisanna

The first thing you could hear in the morning, is the scream of muffled words, just across the guild.

Natsu's running to the guild, and right now, his screaming is disturbing the people in the church. After all, since it's a Sunday, it's likely to be more crowded.

"Hey, is that Natsu-san running here?" Wendy asked, walking in, with Charla flying beside her. "I was walking from the shop across Fairy Tail and heard-"

Whoosh!

Natsu came in, waving a gold key in his hands. "Hey, minna, look!" He waved it in the air. "It's a Lucy key!"

"Lucy key?" Erza walked up towards him. Natsu showed her the key. "I had a dream where Lucy gave me this key, and she showed me how to summon Plue! But I ended up summoning Lucy!"

Levy ran up to him. "Did she tell you?" a puzzled look crossed his face. "Tell me what?" Levy frowned. "Think carefully, Natsu, did she say anything?" Natsu thought hard, and suddenly blush when he finally understood.

"She said... 'I love you'..." he mumbled to himself. Levy heard it, but decided to tease him. "What's that?"

"She said she loves me." He managed a little louder.

"I can't hear you~" she said in a sing-song voice. People were starting to snicker now. They get the picture now.

"She said she loves me!" Natsu screamed, and the guild fell silent. Heck, that was unexpected. "I... I..."

Levy wrapped a hand around Natsu's neck. "Hear that? Lucy confessed!" Laughter and chattering broke out throughout the guild, Levy did a fine job embarrassing him, she'll get that.

"Natsu, do you love her too?"

"Man, what a waste, she's pretty cute too..."

"What a laugh, Natsu!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Natsu saw someone run out the guild. Without thinking, he ran out, thinking no one will notice. Not that he minded, anyway. He saw white and immediately knew who it was.

A girl with white hair and wearing white. The untainted and pure Lisanna.

"Lisanna!" Natsu called out, reaching for her. She looked around, and Natsu stopped dead in his tracks. But quickly regained his composure and ran after her. He could swear that he saw Lucy in her. "Lisanna, come back!"

He chased her until they hit a dead end.

"Lisanna!" He grabbed her before he could leave. "Stop... please, stop." He loosened his grip, but she didn't run.

"N-Natsu..." she sniffed, seeing tears in his eyes. "G-Go away... leave me alone..." She fell to her knees, sobbing. "I..."

She swatted him back. "Y-You... You love her more! D-Don't concern yourself with me..." She tried to keep calm, so Natsu could forget about her... but, Lucy's dead, it's not illegal to chase after your childhood crush, is it?

Natsu gulped, and tried to comfort her, but the more he said, the sadder she got. So, eventually, Natsu just lied.

"I'm sorry, Lisanna," he gulped as the lies formed around the tip of his tongue. "I... I never did liked Lucy... I... I love you..."

Immediately Lisanna jumped Natsu. "Is that a promise, Natsu?" She smiled, trying to feel genuine happiness, but deep down inside she knew he was lying. "Y-Yes... it is..."

"Liar."

His eyes widened. He had forced himself to lie... thank goodness Lisanna was honest with herself.

"You still love her." She accused, but she knew it was true. She knew he knew it too. He would only look at Lucy that way, she observed. "So don't concern yourself with me. Go after her."

"But it's too late."

Lisanna smiled sadly. "Better than living a lie, I presume," she said solemnly, and left. She walked out and saw Gray, who was shocked to see her find out, but she just smiled sadly, and left.

"Better than... living a lie."

Her words repeated itself like a broken recorder on his mind. Eventually, he felt someone behind him.

"Natsu." He stood up and faced Gray (he knew it was him earlier). "What-" before he could finish, Lucy had punched him into the wall. "Idiot! Lucy loved you! And now she's dead, because of you!"

Natsu was taken aback. He did not expect to see Gray this flamed up, just after returning from the hospital. "And now you're going after someone else." He glared at him. He hated Natsu now, this feeling is overwhelming.

"I... hate you. She loves you."

"You... like her."

Gray left, leaving Natsu in a world of confusion.

"Nat... su?" Still, chocolate eyes, a strand of lemon yellow hair fell to her eyes, staring at him adoringly.

(a/n): Well, here's a strawberry cake for reading this far! (runs off)

Erza: Have you seen the fiend that- hey, my cake! Requip! Heaven's wheel!

You: AHHHHH~ Wait for me~

LOL. That was for lightening up the mood. No hard feelings, right? :D
