AN/: Hello! Here is the next chapter. It'll be much more entertaining is you listen to the song: Unfragment by Hatsune Miku while reading this chapter. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this chapter!

Lucy was skipping happily to her apartment without a care in the world. That day felt like a song-writing day, most definitely. First, she'd go home and record Nekomimi Switch, then she'd write the trance songs. She still had to work on the one that she had started the day before.

With all the song writing that would be going on that day, there was no doubt she would transform into Miku, and that was something that Lucy didn't mind. She was a happy little camper at the moment, and she didn't care if people invaded her apartment. She was going to tell her friends sooner or later anyways, wasn't she?

Lucy had made it home and quickly entered, running to her room and pulling out her keyboard.

"First, I'll write down the words," she muttered to herself as she pulled out her song writing materials. "A few random things here and there… Kitty ears are quantum mechanics… ha! I like that one," she continued talking to herself as she scribbled the lyrics down onto the paper in front of her. Finally, the song was finished.

Lucy spun around on her heels to face her bookshelf, her long, teal pigtails swaying in the air as she moved. She pulled a folder off of one of the shelves and placed the sheet music neatly inside the pocket.

"Now that that's done," Lucy said happily as she turned back to her keyboard. She sat in front of it, wondering what song idea she would bring to life next. She sat in thought, unaware of the visitor she had sitting by her window, watching her with curious eyes. Even if she did notice him, she wouldn't have cared anyways.

Natsu had made it to Lucy's apartment and, as usual, he climbed through the window. He had gotten there in time to see a glittery light envelop Lucy, changing her hair color, her eye color, and her outfit. He should've freaked out, right? But, he didn't. Lucy looked like she was perfectly fine with it. Actually, she looked happy. Instead of barging in like he usually would, he stayed back near the window and stayed silent. He wanted to know what she was up to and if he just interrupted her, there was a possibility that she would try to hide it instead of just explaining.

Lucy played the small tune and thought of a good beat and tune that would sound good later in the song. She knew that the song she was about to write would be a long one. Most of her trance songs were.

Her fingers danced on the keys gracefully, playing out the melody of the lyrics. It wasn't happy and cheerful sounding like the song she'd written before it; the sound of the music seemed to create a heavy and sad feeling, yet it still sounded mysterious. It was a beautiful song; there was no denying that, but it made one wonder what inspired such a song.

Lucy continued to play the tune, creating a song with no lyrics. Its mysterious feel only grew stronger as the song went on.

Natsu closed his eyes as he listened to the song, feeling the beat of the song. It wasn't only the beat that he could feel, though. It was the song itself that had captured his mind entirely. It was the way the notes moved and blended with the rest of the song and the feel of mystery that attracted his attention to it. It sounded so sad and beautiful.

After almost nine minutes, the music faded. All the Vocaloid had left to do was to come up with the lyrics. She thought about what had inspired the song. It sounded sad, so what sad thing had happened to her that gave way to a song like that? She thought for a moment longer and then the answer hit her.

She knew what the first line of the song would be, because she knew why she'd written the song. It was the night before when Natsu had yelled at her. She'd lied to him about what she was doing and she hated lying to her friends. It wasn't something that she liked to do, so when she had to lie again it inspired a sad song that was long overdue.

The teal-haired singer played the song again, the lyrics running through her head as the music started. She didn't start singing the lyrics until almost two minutes into the song, but that was how she wanted the song to be. And when she did start singing, the feeling the song gave off intensified even more.

"Lie, I have to say again,
Someone smiles at your words
As if to sneer at it.
Ache, you give me with a smile
The town is colorful
The boring time turns around, dances around.

It's too far to hear it
Something seems missing from each other
Our yearning hands are yet to have the distance zero
No matter how close they come in an asymptote.

The outline twines all around my body
I touch the world with my voice, so
Turn it around!
In a distorting frequency
I still keep calling you
Waiting ya, so call me out."

The lyrics blended and countered the notes in the song, creating the most entrancing sound the Dragon Slayer had ever heard in his life. It was amazing, beautiful, and any other word that described the song. He wasn't good with words, so he didn't know what words to use. All he knew was that he had just witnessed the creation of something magnificent.

The first line of the song caught Natsu's attention. The first line of such a sad sounding song had to do with lying. Lucy hated lying, Natsu knew that. Was she sad about having to lie about something? Obviously, she was lying about something, but she was sad about it.

Natsu almost smacked himself for being so stupid about everything. Of course, Lucy was hiding something. What, seeing her transform into a girl with teal pigtails and light, sky-blue eyes wasn't enough?

Lucy had finished with the lyrics, marking the last words down on the sheet music in front of her. She let out a long breath. Another song, another success.

"You're amazing," a familiar voice sounded, causing Lucy to jump in surprise. Natsu walked away from his spot at the window and stood at his friend's side.

"N-Natsu?" she stuttered in disbelief. "How long have you been here?" she questioned nervously.

"Long enough to watch you write that entire song," Natsu replied with a smile. "It was amazing, really. I've never heard anything like it before in my life. I just have one question."

Lucy sighed. She knew what was coming.

"What's with the get-up?" he asked pointing a finger at Lucy. "You look like that Miku girl." Lucy sighed and gave her friend a smile.

"I am Miku," she said with a giggle. "I've been Hatsune Miku my entire life."

Natsu's jaw dropped and he stared at the singer in amazement.

"How?" he shouted in question. "How can you look like two different people? And why didn't you tell me?" Natsu said hastily.

"I'm a Vocaloid," Lucy answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I was born with the purpose of singing to the world. All Vocaloids have an alternate look for when they perform. It's our magic," Lucy explained.

Natsu just stared. He didn't really understand any of what she was explaining, but he could have her explain it later, right? He wanted to know why she didn't tell him about the whole Vocaloid thing.

"Lucy, or Miku… whoever you are right now, why didn't you tell me about all this?" Natsu asked with sadness in his voice.

In that instant, Lucy transformed back into herself. Her brown eyes gazed into Natsu's and she frowned guiltily.

"I didn't know how to tell you," she said softly, her gaze falling to the ground, unable to keep eye contact with the onyx eyes that stared at her. "Yesterday, I had a gig at a club across town. That's why it took me so long to get to the guild."

Natsu's eyes widened. She had performed right after they'd gotten back from a tough mission. Natsu couldn't believe she'd had the energy to do that.

'She must have been beyond tired yesterday,' Natsu thought.

"While I was on my way back to the guild, I'd finally decided that I would tell everyone that I'm a Vocaloid," Lucy said quietly.

"Why didn't you?" Natsu asked confused.

"You yelled at me. You looked so mad that I'd done something that you didn't know about. I got scared. But, then again, I was so exhausted so I overreacted," Lucy explained with a nervous laugh.

The frown on the pink-haired teen's face didn't fade. He felt terrible now that he knew why she was upset when he'd yelled at her. Even if she did overreact, it must've been scary for her to be so prepared to tell a secret to just have her confidence crushed by someone she cared about.

"Why didn't you tell Levy or someone else first?" Natsu asked curiously, furrowing his brow as he looked at the blonde. Lucy smile brightly at him.

"I wanted you to be the first one I told. You're my best friend, Natsu," the Vocaloid giggled. "You brought me to Fairy Tail and gave me a family. I owe you for so much that I could give you my soul and it still wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt I owe you." Lucy smiled brightly at the boy in front of her. It was true that she owed Natsu more than she'd ever be able to muster up. Maybe that's why she'd been writing so many songs inspired by her fire-breathing friend and his faithful friend, Happy.

Natsu smiled at her words. He felt so happy that Lucy thought so highly of him, though he didn't really think she owed him anything. All the things he'd ever done for her, he'd done them because either he wanted to or he felt that it was the right thing to do.

"Why would you give me your soul?" Natsu commented curiously, scratching the back of his head nervously. What exactly was he supposed to do with a soul, keep it is a jar?

Lucy ignored Natsu's comment and just laughed, picking up the sheet music and turning to her bookshelf once again. She plucked out her song folder and opened it to put the music in the pocket. Natsu looked over her shoulder and saw some familiar lyrics.

"Nekomimi Switch?" Natsu smiled pointing at the sheet music. "That song you were singing when you left the guild?"

"Yep!" Lucy responded happily with a bright smile on her face. "This song is the reason why I asked you about the kitty ears," she chirped energetically.

Natsu laughed. He felt so happy seeing Lucy so happy and excited. Something about her made his heart flutter in his chest.

"You're a weirdo, you know that?" Natsu said with a smile. Lucy froze and stared at him blankly for a moment.

"You honestly don't know how true that is," she finally said amused. "My head is like a party all the time for song ideas. I would explain, but," she said, scratching the back of her head, "you'd think it's really weird."

Natsu was surprised by her words. She'd always denied that she was weird, but this time she pretty much told him that calling her weird was an understatement.

"Lucy, we're in Fairy Tail and everyone in Fairy Tail is weird. If you can top all of that then you should get an award," Natsu joked with his signature smile lighting up the room like the sun.

"Alright," Lucy said, her tone saying 'you have no idea what you just got yourself into'.

Lucy moved to her couch, sitting on one end, facing the opposite end of the couch and pulling her knees up to her chest. It was a good thing that she was wearing pants, even if it was a rare thing to see. She only wore her comfy clothes when no one was around to see her.

Natsu sat on the other end of the couch and faced Lucy, pulling his legs up and crossing them. He leaned against the arm of the couch, his elbows resting on the plush fabric of the sofa.

"Okay, so this morning was like a party for songs in my head." Lucy began explaining the mental image she'd created. "Imagine a room. In the room there is a couch, a coffee table, and random, colorful strobe lights."

Natsu tried to imagine the room in his head. When he got the picture he nodded, signaling Lucy to continue.

"Sitting on the couch are some pop tunes and trance tunes. Picture those as like jocks and cheerleaders," she said, laughing at the silly thought. "Now, the music playing at this 'party' is the rock tunes."

Natsu nodded again, an amused smile forming on his lips.

"Over in the dark corner that the strobe lights don't really reach; that's where the dark and creepy tune is hanging out. That one just kind of glares at all the other tunes in the room."

"Okay," Natsu laughed, nodding his head and letting her continue. Lucy continued with a smile on her face.

"Then, there was one tune that was the maniac, running around screaming with kitty ears on and wearing nothing but its boxers." Lucy chuckled at the image. It was still so amusing.

Natsu burst into laughter. He was just as amused by the mental image as Lucy was.

"Yeah, I know, it's hilarious!" Lucy laughed along with her best friend. "Anyways, by the time I left the guild, that song had started dancing on the coffee table," Lucy managed to get out before she erupted into another fit of laughter.

"You were right! I had no idea that you'd be this weird," Natsu said teasingly. Lucy gasped and threw a nearby pillow at his face.

After another round of laughter, things finally settled down.

"I have to figure out how to tell everyone else in the guild," Lucy said in thought. Natsu nodded slowly along with her.

"Well, time to get creative I guess!" Lucy shouted standing from the couch and clapping her hand in front of her.

Oh, it was time to get creative, indeed!
