Chapter Eight: The Black Potion

"Was the person really her? That person's everything is so similar to her. That person tells me her name is Lissana, but I doubt it. When will she tell me who she is? When will she stop hiding? But I'm scared. If she tells me, will kami-sama take her away from me again?"


Lucy sleeping in her bed peacefully when she noticed it was exceptionally hot. She slowly opened her eyes and found … Natsu … drooling fire. She yelped which disturbed Natsu. He immediately said, "Don't worry, Lissana. I'll protect you," and sent a punch aimed straight at Lucy. The punch sent Lucy flying and she landed right into the wall.

Natsu then rubbed his eyes and woke up. That's right; he punched Lucy into a wall while he was still sleeping. He opened his eyes and found Lucy stuck in a wall. Natsu wondered out loud, "Why are you stuck in a wall, Lissana? Do you like sleeping there?" He heard a bunch of angry, muffled curses as a reply.

Natsu just chuckled and went over to where Lucy was stuck and pulled her out. After using too much force, Natsu sent Lucy flying back into her bed. The commotion woke Happy up and he muttered, "Eh? Why are you here, Lissana?"

Lucy's vein popped as she shouted, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHY AM I HERE'? I LIVE HERE! THE QUESTION IS WHY ARE YOU HERE WITH NATSU? WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING IN MY BED?" After Natsu got Lucy to calm down, he just whined, "Lissana, your bed is more comfortable though…"

Lucy finally giggled and just got to the point, "Why are you here though, seriously?" Natsu pouted and replied, "I was going to get you to go on a quest with us…" Lucy smiled brightly and quickly agreed. They packed their things and left.


Team Natsu finished their quest rather quickly. However… Natsu destroyed the whole town, so their reward was cut in half. Natsu also insisted on walking instead of taking the train. Lucy was moping all the way home when she suddenly got thirsty. But they couldn't find any nearby water source.

After 3 hours, Lucy fainted on the ground. Natsu got worried and carried her all the way to the nearest town. Halfway there, they met a strange peddler. The peddler looked familiar to Natsu but he was too worried about Lissana to notice. The peddler started cackling as she handed Natsu a black potion.

The peddler said in a high voice, "Natsu, if you let your partner drink that then she should wake up." Natsu looked puzzled as he thought, 'How did that peddler know my name?' As if reading his mind, the peddler replied, "I know your name because everybody knows the legendary Salamander from Fairy Tail."

After pausing for a moment, Natsu replied the peddler, "No thanks. I'll just take her to the nearest town. The peddler's lips formed a frown. Then, she put on an evil smile and forced the liquid down Lucy's throat.

Natsu looked shocked as he realized that Lucy had swallowed the whole thing. Before he was able to attack the female peddler, she had vanished into thin air. Natsu silently cursed and quickly ran to the guild. He was betting that Mirajane would know how to get Lissana to spit the liquid out.


After they reached the guild, Natsu busted the doors open. He quickly ran to Mirajane and shouted, "Mira! Some old peddler made Lissana drink a black potion!" Mira's face was filled with horror was she realized what Natsu was talking about. "A-a b-b-b-black p-p-p-potion?" she stuttered out. "Yeah! Help her, Mira!" Natsu yelled.

The Master came out after he had heard Natsu. 'A black potion? There are only two types of black potions. One that freezes your internal body temperature and … Oh no.' he thought. He rushed to where Natsu was. He felt Lissana's forehead and it was burning. 'The forehead is burning. Those are symptoms of the … other type of black potion.' The Master thought.

"Natsu…" started Master Makarov. "Lissana will be fine, it's just…" before the Master got to finish, Erza gasped. All heads turned to what Erza gasped at. Lissana was turned into a five year old child. And that child was the spitting image of Lucy. Their Lucy Heartfilia that died six years ago.

Natsu just gaped at the child and blurted out, "You're so small, Lissana." That earned him sweat drops from everyone in the guild. Master thought, 'Well no shit, Sherlock Natsu.' Lissana looked confused as she replied, "Who is Lissana? My name is Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia."

Natsu's jaw dropped. The truth was finally revealed. Lissana was really Lucy. The Lucy that everyone thought had died. Lissana was his Lucy. The Lucy that he never forgot about and still loved dearly. Little Lucy just grinned.


Lisanna watched from her lacrima ball and cursed. "Dammit, I made the wrong black potion. I made the one that turns people into little kids for 5 days." She cursed again and started thinking her next move.


"My dear daughter, fate never fails to bring two lovers together. Fate has done it again. But fate can't control what happens next. Make wise decisions, my dear Lucy."

To be continued…
