HEEEY! I have not posted since April 14th and so here I am hopefully posting on April 29th. If not then I will get this on here by midnight of the 30th! I hope you guys like the plot idea I have created with Lucy's father. I was a nervous wreck writting it because at first I thought it was too cliche but I then I was like "You know what Redaquarius,go ahead with your mad writting skills" (I am so alone!) " Show them who is boss!" (It is just me!) SO here is today's chapter from me. DISCLAIMER,I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL IT BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA! T^T No matter how much it hurts...

Gray's POV! *They are in gym class*

'Arrrg! School let's out in 15 minutes! So why is it taking so long for the day to end!Lucy's dad said he was going to die on May 18th. It's May 17th and I don-AHHH! STUPID DODGE BALL! FORGET ERZA! I AM TAKING GAJEEL DOWN!' I thought as I angrily dodge a ball Gajeel threw at me. I moved like fast lightening and struck Gajeel hard in the leg. Coach Laxus blew the whistle and pointed to Gajeel. Signaling that he was out. I laughed strait in his face.

I glanced at the clock and realized that it was 2:10,forgetting that I was in the middle of the game.

A ball flew across the gym and hit me in the side. I looked to the said direction and glared at Natsu. Coach Laxus blew the whistle signaling that I was out. I walked off of the court and watched as Natsu did a gloating dance in my face. I would have punched him but Coach Laxus said one more fight and we are doing 9 laps around the track with ERZA.

Then I realized that only Lucy,Levy,Natsu and Erza were left in the game. Lucy and Levy on the blue team. Erza and Natsu on the red team.

Then I roared with laughter. While Natsu was doing his victory dance Lucy took this as a chance and struck Natsu in the face. I watched with pure happiness as he walked off the court. It was now 2:11. Lucy and Levy were the only ones left on the blue team and Erza was the only one left on the red team.

Oh no. The team with the most players at the end win and get to choose what we do all next week. You can guess at this point that Erza had won without breaking a sweat. But they will think of something.

I hope.

Just then Lucy called a time out. She walked over to Levy who was panting really hard. They spoke quietly while glancing at Erza a few times.

Then Lucy called for the game to resume. They then started dodging Erza's throws. Then the light bulb that Lucy had went off in my head. They were simply going to dodge her attacks until the class was over. It is now 2:13. 'Just 2 minutes Lucy and Levy. Hang in there guys. I really don't want to run killer laps around the guys got this.' I thought.

Levy stopped her dodging to catch her breath. Erza saw this as an opportunity to strike. She threw a ball but Lucy got there just in time to swing Levy over the ball. Then the blessed sound of the buzzer came from the timer.

The match was over.

The blue team cheered and Erza glared at us saying we were all going to get fat. We changed out and headed over to Heartfillia Sweets.

*Time Skip to 7:31 at Heartfillia Sweets* Erza's POV

The last customer walked out the door after exchanging friendly goodbyes with everyone. I swear that the whole town loves Lucy and her family. Besides her dad,her older brother Sting,who is in the army, is the only blood family she has. I mean she has a huge heart. SHE was the first one that Gray talked to when his mother died,SHE was the first one that I talked to when my parents died. They never even found my mom's body. So I can't even imagine her face when her heart breaks all over again.

We cleaned up and did our homework together while eating brownies that Lucy made from her mom's recipie. I laughed when Natsu started naming things he would give Lucy once she said no to giving him the recipie. This went on for quite some time. Then the fighting began.

"Jezz flamebrain,just leave her alone! She aint' giving it to ya so shut your trap!" Gray yelled at Natsu.

"Oi! This aint' your fight so stay out ya snowcone!" Natsu yells right back. At this I gain tick marks on my head.' Just let them fight it out.' I thought. They then started punching eachother. It was then that Natsu pushed Gray and he knocked my brownie out of my hand and on to the floor...

"GRAY! NATSU!" I yelled.

"Don't just stand there! Run you idiot,RUN!" Gray yelled who was already on his way to the front door,Natsu right along with him and I right on there heels.

We ran out of the room the others were in and let's just say if I were them I would here several booms,thuds,and chrashes before I walked back in completely calm. While Natsu and Gray came in looking banged up.

I glance at the clock to find that it is 8:01. "Guys as much as I love this place I suggest we pack up our stuff and get ready to go." I said and everyone nodded in agreement.

We started to walk out the back room when Lucy got a call.

"Hello" she answered.

There was a pause before Lucy screamed "I WILL BE RIGHT THERE! KEEP HIM AS LONG AS YOU CAN UNTIL I DO!"

We all froze hoping it wasn't Lucy's dad that was the problem but when Lucy turned to us with tears down her face we knew that's exactly what it was about.

"My dad's dying you guys." she sobbed. She then looked up at us to find that we were looking at anything else in the room but her. "Guys?What's wrong?" she asked,her voice still filled with ultimate saddness.

"Your dad has cancer and is sceduled to die tommorow!" We all turned to Levy who had just blurted out everything in one quick sentence.

"Levy!" Gajeel yelled.I turned to Lucy to explain but I was too late for she had already run out the shop.

*End of Chapter!*

So...did you like it. Sorry I planned to have this up on Saturday but my sister's prom was that night and I was helping her all day. But I really loved writting this chapter and I am killing myself with suspense right now! Fighting the urge to tell you all what happens next but the urge of having a cliffhanger was WAY bigger! Please review and give me constructive critisism on how I cna make my ways of writting better.

Hugs,books,and kisses!
