Back at the guild a sad looking Lucy leans her head against the bar.
"Hey Lucy are you doing okay?" Mira asked her hoping to cheer her up.
"hmm, I guess, I was just thinking…"
"Thinking about what?"
"hmm, Mira can I ask you a question?" Lucy began lifting her head to look at Mirajane, letting her know that she wanted to be serious. "Well, of course Lucy I'm always here!"
Lucy had this look of awkwardness mixed with sadness as she asked "How exactly close were Natsu and Lisanna before she went away?" Mir'a face went to deep thinking mode, then to frowning, but finishing with a smile. "I would say they were best friends. I am not sure how Natsu really felt towards her, but I know he meant the world to Lisanna. She would always come home after the day with him, talking about how much fun they had together and I remember this one time she came home, she told me about how when she grew up she wanted to become Natsu's wife. She always felt bad about how he lost his only family, so she wanted to become his new family. Each day she talked more and more about how much she adored him. She would tell me things like 'Natsu, happy and I went fishing today, we didn't catch much but he still shared with me! Isn't he the cutest!' or sometimes things like 'I got lost today in the woods, but Natsu still came to find me, he looked really worried about me and said he's never lose me again! I can't wait to marry him!' She thought about him non stop since she was a child. But Natsu was a kid too, so no one really knew how he felt about her. But it was clear they both cared for each other deeply."
"Wow, so it must have been hard on him when you all thought you lost her…"
"Yeah, it was tough time for many of us. Elfman and I probably changed the most. After the incident, Elfman went on a crazy fitness spree. He trained hard everyday, he wanted to get strong enough so that he would never feel that pain again. As for me… I didn't return to the guild for a month. I was ashamed for dragging them on such a hard mission. I stopped going on missions after that, and became a nicer person. I wanted to replace the kindness that Lisanna had with her in the guild. Lisanna was always kind, so I wanted to be kind just like her. But because of that, I'm no longer as strong as I used to be…"
"Oh… Mira…Wait, she used to be even stronger? And I thought she was unstoppable now!"
Mira giggled "No it's okay, I am happier here as an advisor more than a fighter. Anyway, Natsu also didn't return to the guild for 3 whole months! He was really devastated. When he returned… he looked stronger than elfman did. Apparently he had spent all those three months away training. We all thought he was ready to get back on jobs, but instead he said good bye, and told us he'll be back with Igneel. He hadn't gone on an Igneel hunt since he met Lisanna, so I guess since she was gone, he wanted to find him again. It was about a year, of him dropping in and out of the guild, then one day, he returned with you! Well, you know how the rest of the story goes…"
"So I guess Natsu and Lisanna were really close with each other." Lucy felt bad for a moment. She had been unclear for her feelings for Natsu for a while, but she knew she couldn't live without him. Now she felt like she was stealing Natsu away from Lisanna. She could tell Lisanna still had feelings towards Natsu, but it seems that Natsu had moved on.
"Oh don't feel bad Lucy! Although Lisanna does care a great deal for Natsu, she likes seeing him happy with you." Mira smiled, Lucy started to cheer up a little bit, but she still couldn't shake the feeling she had. "Thanks Mira…"
From behind Natsu and Happy ran over "HEY LUCY GUESS WHAT?"
"what Natsu?"
"Erza got us an S class mission! We're all going to go on it together, we'll leave tomorrow, so get your stuff ready. And the reward is so big, you'll be able to pay your rent for the next 5 months!"
"Thanks Natsu! I'll see you all tomorrow" Luc." Mira smiled, Lucy started to cheer up a little bit, but she still couldn't shake the feeling she had. "Thanks Mira…"
From behind Natsu and Happy ran over "HEY LUCY GUESS WHAT?"
"what Natsu?"
"Erza got us an S class mission! We're all going to go on it together, we'll leave tomorrow, so get your stuff ready. And the reward is so big, you'll be able to pay your rent for the next 5 months!"
"Thanks Natsu! I'll see you all tomorrow" Lucy walked awkwardly out the guild. She knew deep down that everything involving Lisanna and Natsu was over, but on the surface, she couldn't help but feel bad. Although Lisanna was Natsu's first kiss, she wanted Natsu to be her first kiss….
"What was that all about?" Natsu asked happy. "I don't know man, maybe you smell so bad she had to leave…'"
"Hey cut that out! I showered last week so I should be good!"
"Gee know wonder she left" The cat said sarcastically. At that moment Carla and Lilly walked into the guild and over to Natsu and Happy. Happy's eyes lit up "Oh Carla you're here!"
"Hey Carla, Lilly, Where's Wendy and Gajeel?" Natsu asked them. The dragon slayers were all close to each other. Even though Natsu hated Gajeel at first, he has grown to like him, and He needed to tell Wendy about the job.
"Wendy wanted to train alone tonight." Said Carla with a frustrated tone. She doesn't like Wendy going off on her own much. But that was mostly because she didn't like being on her own.
"And Gajeel said he had something important he needed to take of" Lilly added. "hmm, okay, well, Carla When you see Wendy later, let her know that we're all going on a job tomorrow."
"It better not be anything to dangerous…"
Natsu laughed "Don't worry Wendy can handle herself. She's a dragon slayer after all."
"I guess you're right…"
Jey and Droy started to run towards the goup with a panicked look on their faces "
LILLY!"
"What?"
"HAVE YOU SEEN LEVY ANYWHERE! WE CAN'T FIND HER!" They said perfectly in sync.
"Why are you asking me that?"
"The last thing she told us is that she wanted to see Gajeel. And now we can't find her!" Droy started to cry.
"Well, if she's with Gajeel then she's probably safe."
Jet and Droy's faces went white and their jaws dropped open.
"it's oky guys I'm fine!" Lvy shouted from the entrance of the guild. Next to her was a mean looking Gajeel.
Pantherlilly went up to Gajeel. "there you are, so what was something important you had to take care of?" Gajeel just grined at him "Don't worry about it."
Levy blushed, and Jet and Droy's faces went white again.
What were Levy and Gajeel doing? and how is Wendy doing training all by herself? Read to find out more!
I also decided to keep this Teen rated, but possibly write a sequel that will be rated M. Thank you and please review!
