Chapter 6

"Gramps!" the whole guild turned their heads to see Natsu crash throught the door with a distraught Happy flying beside him. A collective gasp ran through the guild as they noticed their battered celestial mage lying limp in his arms.

"Wendy-"the master began to say but the guilds youngest dragon slayer had already beaten him to it, guiding natsu, who insisted on carrying Lucy, to the infirmary. Once the doors had shut behind them the master turned to Erza with a serious face.

"Erza, I fear Lucy's injuries might be more than Wendy can handle. Please ask Porlyusica for her help." The master asked with a sighed as he looked at the closed infirmary doors. He knew Natsu was even more worried but hoped he could get the dragon slayer to calm down. Something was different about Lucy, he could sense it.

Erza grimaced at having to visit the old lady. The woman hated humans for crying out loud! Last time they payed her a visit she had hit them with a broom. An image of Lucy all battered and bruised reminded Erza that she needed to do this for Lucy's sake. Erza bristled and then promptly walked out of the doors, her sights set on the bringing back the old lady.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary beads of perspiration formed on Wendy's forehead as she continued try and heal Lucy, her wounds were disappearing but she showed no signs of waking up. She quickly wiped her forehead then focused all her attention on healing Lucy. The healing process was putting a strain on her magical energy but the fact that Natsu sat there unmoving while staring at them was more than a bit unsettling.

Wendy turned around when she heard the doors open to find porlyusica walk in, looking typically grumpy. Her expression changed to one of concern when she spotted Lucy, rushing over to her as she pulled out a vial with a turquoise coloured potion. "Her magic is extremely low, however I understand this girl is a celestial mage; summoning spirits shouldn't have this type of effect on her. What happened on your mission?" Porlyusica asked as she carefully gave the potion to her.

Once Natsu had finished telling Porlyusica what happened on the mission there was a silence in the room. "It seems as if your celestial mage was able to release the last of her magic as a compressed burst of energy because of her will to save that cat of yours. I'm surprised. That shouldn't be possible for a holder type wizard. Don't worry though; she'll be fine when she wakes up. The potion I gave her is to restore her magic; it will have some… side effects. Well, I'm done here, I'll inform Makarov." Porlyusica told them but hesitated slightly when telling them about the potions side effects. She quickly whispered something to Wendy that even Natsu couldn't hear before briskly walking out of the infirmary.

"Wait what side effects?" Natsu called after finally regaining the ability to speak. Natsu cursed under his breath as he realised she'd already left. He then turned to Wendy who was staring at the floor, eyes flickering up to Lucy's form as she looked to be sleeping peacefully.

"Wendy, what side effects?" Natsu asked in a low tone and felt a pang of guilt as he saw the little dragon slayer flinch. But could you blame him? He was worried sick about his blonde partner and no one was telling him anything.

"Don't worry Natsu. Lucy won't be in pain or anything she'll just be acting a bit… goofy." Wendy reassured him trying to find the right words to describe how Lucy's attitude would be when she woke up.

"Goofy?" Natsu questioned. Well, it was pretty vague. Seeing his confusion Wendy tried to think of a better comparison.

"Well it will Kind of be like when she's drunk I guess." Wendy said sheepishly, reminded of the time when she got drunk. She decided she didn't like alcohol much, it made her really dizzy.

While Wendy replayed that night so did Natsu. "A drunk Lucy! How the hell am I supposed to deal with a drunk Lucy!?" Natsu screamed in his head. Lucy got really weird when she was drunk and she became more sensitive. He remembered the twang of guilt that hit him when she became really upset. How was he supposed to know she'd made that egg roll especially for him? His guilt then faded away as he remembered her climbing on to his back and a blush crept on to his face. Even though she smelled like sake at the time; the way she cuddled into his back and her hot breath against his neck made his stomach do flips and made him feel hot. This was unnatural for him because he was usually unaffected by the temperature but he couldn't help but miss the warmth Lucy gave him.

Natsu had been sitting in the infirmary ever since. Wendy had left a little while ago; she was pretty tired from using her healing magic for such a long amount of time. Natsu heard some bed sheets move and he watched as Lucy was starting wake up. He had completely forgotten about the side effects of the potion until he noticed Lucy's face was flushed and she wore an enormous grin. "Natsuuu~" Lucy called while giggling. "Oh crap!" Natsu thought, "Not again!"

Author's note: I'm really sorry about taking ages to update but i've been doing a lot of revision for my exams. Lame excuse i know. I just haven't been able to think about what i was going to do with this chapter. All i knew was that i wanted Porlyusica in it because, you know, why not? You guys wanted to know what that bright light was so there you go. If i didn't explain it clear enough in the chapter then basically its like the light that surrounded Lucy when she called her spirits to save Loke but instead of summoning spirits the force of her magic power being released at one knocks people unconscious and drains all of her energy, leaving her unconscious as well. I decided that it would be fun to stick a drunk Lucy chapter in this fanfic so that will be the focus of the next chapter. I've drawn a total blank on what to write for the next chapter of fighting spirit so it may take a while before i write the next chapter for that one. If there's any ideas you have for one shots you'd like me to do just message me or leave it in the reviews. Sorry for the incredibly long author's note, but as always, thanks for your support and i appreciate the follows, reviews and favorites you guys give me. I'll try to get the next chapter done sooner. Thanks for reading!
