I've kind of hit a snag on this story seeing as there's no real plotline yet. If you have any suggestions, let me know and I'll take them into consideration.


The light hit Lucy like a ton of bricks when she cracked a weary eye open. She immediatly snapped it closed and let out a groan of pain.

This alerted those in the room with her that she was awake and suddenly she could hear voices.

"Lucy!" Mira said. "I'm so glad you're awake."

"Bunny-girl lives!" Gajeel shouted. She could imagine him throwing his hands up in a rediculous manner.

"Lucy-chan, I'm so glad that you're alright." Definitely Gray.

She sat up in bed and realized for the first time that a pair of arms were preventing her from doing so. She turned to see a mop of pink hair sticking out from below the covers and a the gentle rise and fall of the blanket. She tilted her head at this, groggy from her fever, and pointed a hand to him. Letting her body ask the question she didn't trust her throat to voice.

"Oh him," Mira cooed as she waved a hand dismisively. "Don't mind Natsu. There's probably a really good reason why he's there."

"Yea," Gajeel scoffed. "And there's probably a really good reason why you took a ton of pictures. Neither, by the way, do I want to know."

"Oh Gajeel," Mira sang sickly sweet and Gajeel backed up a few feet, hiding behind the silent form of Jellal.

Lucy, still groggy, found no problems with this and shrugged before getting comfortable into Natsu's chest before drifting back to sleep. As she did this, she could've swore she heard Gray saying something to the effect of, 'No, Lucy, don't cheat on me! Natsu, why'd you take my woman?!'.

But then again, she did have a fever.


When Lucy's fever cleared up the whole group set to packing for their tour. Lucy was pleasantly surprised to find she was tagging along.

Now, in the airplane, it wasn't that pleasant. Apparently, both Gajeel and Natsu have severe motion sickness. Jellal slept the whole time which left Gray.

Lucy was glad she brought her notepad and ipod.

She began to write song lyrics down as she listened to instrumentals she rigged up online. It was easier to write music if you knew the tune. Currently she was working on a ballad but the lyrics weren't fully to her liking. Sighing heavily, she turned the page in her notebook and switched tracks. This one was a tradgedy.

I'm no longer around here,

But be sure you don't forget,

My spirit still surrounds you,

So little one don't fret.

Your words no longer reach me,

So be sure you don't forget,

We've an eternity in Heaven,

So little one don't fret.

You feel so all alone now,

But be sure you don't forget,

Those around you wish to help you,

So little one don't fret.

For upon you dark clouds will descend,

Remember they have rainbow ends,

For though to you I may be gone,

I'm merely in the great beyond.

Waiting, waiting, for you my dear,

So little one don't shed your tears,

Just wait 'til you can join me here,

I'm waiting.

Lucy groaned again and turned yet another page. That one was good, but sounded more like a poem than a song. Oh well, maybe a bot more tweaking to the track. Extend the notes and hold the bridge, add a long instrumental maybe?

Her thoughts were cut off when the captain came over the intercom. "We'll be landing in Crocus momentarily. Please prepare to unboard."

Lucy oblidged and her things were once again stuffed into her carry-on. Gray did the same with whatever he was doing - Lucy wasn't going to ask. While Gajeel and Natsu let out an exited hollar before once again succumbing to their weakness. Jellal merely opened his eyes.

Once off the plane, Natsu and Gajeel ran around like idiots, thankful to be on solid ground once more. At one point Lucy could've swore she saw them kiss the ground. Gross.


Lucy's hotel room was - well, for lack of a better word - swanky. A large, king-sized bed stood against one wall and a 64" flatscreen hung on the wall opposite the bed. An entertainment center stood beneath it and it was revealed to house an X-box 360, a Playstaion 6, and a Wii. All aoutfitted with the lastest accesories and stocked with the hottest games.

The wall adjacent the bed was floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. A remote on the table next to the door controlled the blinds that folded out horizontilly. A door led to a large bathroom with a bathtub big enough to comfortably house six and outfitted with Jacuzzi jets. The shower was glass and the shower head was much like hers back home.

The towels and sheets were all super soft and the minute Lucy flomped onto the poofy bed she had to fight to stay awake. It was around nine in Crocus and they would be there for a week. She needed to unpack.

"Come on, Lucy." She said to herself as she hopped to her feet. She slung one of her suitcases up on the bed and threw the other underneath it. Not knowing what to expect she packed one suitcase with things for warm weather and one for cool weather. It was rather warm in Crocus so the other was unnessicary.

She pulled out a few tops and a few bottoms and stuffed those into the dresser beside the bed. Next was dress or two she picked to wear to the concerts that she hung on the outside of the bathroom door. Her heels went beside the bed in a neat line.

Once she decided she was unpacked she stuffed the remainder of the clothes in the suitcase before shoving it down along with it's brother. She snatched up her toiletrie bag and strode into the bathroom. She threw the thing onto the marble counter top and shed her clothes to take a shower.

While in the shower she experimented with new tunes for the song she had written previously. By the time she was finished she had a better idea of where the song was headed but it still wasn't crystal clear like she liked.

She changed into a pink tank top and green pyjama pants with little golden zodiac signs strewn about the fabric. She slipped under the patterned beige comforter and matching beige sheets before sighing. It was like lying on a cloud.

Lucy could really get used to this.
