Sorry I haven't posted any chapters in the last few days, school is super busy right now. Instead I will put two or three chapters up every Saturday evening.

Enjoy!

Natsu's POV

I haven't seen or heard from Lucy since we got back to the guild five days ago. In fact, I don't think anyone has seen much of her. I've heard the odd conversation between Gray and Erza discussing the whole "key" buissness. But apart from that, nothing. For the past five days all the other guild members treat me like im a theif. I've had to fix all the holes in the walls and the broken support beams in the guild. But of course, they won't let me out of their sight. Elf-man has taken it upon himself to make sure I fix the guild completely. He follows me everywhere, even in the bathroom, which is just plain creepy. But one of the worst things, is that Happy hasn't even looked at me. I know he thinks I failed him. And I did. I can't get out of that one. Today is Sunday, so Elf-man is letting me just sit at home, but of course. He's standing outside my door as I think. I sit and think, lying in my hammock. Someone knocks on the front door. I stand up to get it. and go for the front door. But it's already open. Erza stands there. Her face wet with tears and a steely glare permanently etched onto her skin. But, she had been crying, Erza never cried. Is it Lucy? Before I could open my mouth, Elf-man came out from behind her. He hadn't cried but he still looked upset.

"Natsu, come." She commanded. Her voice shaking slightly. I stood there, a little taken aback. Something has happened. I need to know what it was. I simply nod and follow her to the guild. As we arrive at the doors, I notice that no sounds come from inside, everything is silent. Inside, everyone was here. But no one was happy. No one was laughing. Everyone was sad. When the door opened, Wendy promptly burst into tears. Mira, who was washing glasses sat with Wendy, hugging her and whispering something to her that I couldn't make out. Erza shoved me from behind, we made our way to the infirmary. Last room on the left. It was the one Lucy was always in when she was hurt. She said it had the best view of the town. A fantastic way of keeping yourself occupied when ill. Lucy lay in the bed, sleeping. Her wounds had been tended to, but she still looked battered and exhausted. In the chairs next to the bed sat Levy and Cana. Cana was deep into a decidedly drunken slumber. And Levy was reading through a book. I didn't care why Erza brought me here. I sat down on the bed, looking at Lucy. So peaceful when she slept, cute almost.

"Natsu, we need to tell you something." Erza said carefully.

"What, what is it? Lucy is going to be alright isn't she?" I ask. Worry setting in.

"Yes, and no." Levy replied.

"What do you mean?!"

"Back in the cell, that man, hit her with some dark, powerful spell. Natsu, this is hard to say. But Lucy doesn't remember us, or anything." Levy said, her voice breaking at the end.

"W-what?" I stutter.

"She doesn't remember us, or you. Or anything." Erza replied.

"I've been trying to find a way to counteract the spell, but I haven't had any luck at all so far." Levy said.

Of course, that must have been what she was reading. Looking down at Lucy, I wondered what was going through her mind then. If she remembered us in her sleep, or at all. Surely she couldn't have forgotten all her time with Fairy Tail. Or even her family, her mother. I subconsciously reached for her hand. I held it between both of mine. I could feel her body relax as I sat there.

"N-natsu" she murmured. Lucy said my name. in her sleep. But, how?

"Wait, what?" said Cana, who had woken from her drunken nap. She now stood next to her.

"She, remembers you Natsu." Erza said, surprised as everyone else.

Lucy, she remembered me, of all people. Why me?

"I promised." She murmured again, her voice sounding further away.

She promised, She did. I let my mind wander back to last year on Valentine's day.

Flashback to Valentines day last year.

"Lucy, can I ask you something?" I nervously inquire. She nods, her hair falling down around her face.

"Luce, can you promise me something?" I ask.

"Sure, Natsu, what is it?"

"I want you to promise, that you won't forget me." I rush.

Suddenly she pulls me into a hug.

"Natsu, I promise." She whispers into my ear.

"Besides, how can I ever forget you when we're a team. Fairy Tails Best team." She continues. She lets go.

"I have to go, good night Natsu" Lucy said, in the same soft voice.
"Oh, and happy valentines day." She kissed me on the cheek. I could feel my face warm where her soft lips touched my face. Lucy, Kissed me.
