"Lu-chan, how's your arm?"
"It's fine." Lucy lied. She really didn't want her friends worry about her right in the morning. She was being bombarded with questions right after she finished her breakfast. Everyone seemed tense, or shaken up in Lucy's case.
"Come on, Lu-chan. I know when you're lying." Levy said, crossing her arms.
"But of I take medicine now, I'll be tired and drowsy all day! Plus, its too early!" Lucy groaned, running her good arm through her smooth, wet hair from her shower this morning.
Levy seemed to be lost in thought.
"Fine, but you brought this onto yourself, Lu-chan." Levy said, walking away to the living room where Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel were playing Mario Cart on their Wii.
"Ha! Blue Turtle Shell! Beat that, Stripper!" Natsu yelled, watching Gray blow up and racing past him.
"Bastard! I was just in first!" Gray snapped, trying to catch up.
A lightning bolt blasted them.
"Hey!
"No fair!"
"Grow a pair of balls, fuckers." Gajeel said, booming laughter.
It turns out, Natsu got first, Gray second, and Gajeel third.
"Ha! I got first!" Natsu cheered, standing up and doing a victory dance.
"Second isn't so bad." Gray said, seeming satisfied.
"Well, at least I'm not last." Gajeel said, sighing.
Levy, who was standing behind Natsu, bent down and whispered in his ear.
Lucy widened her eyes, knowing what Levy was doing: She wa telling Natsu she wouldn't take medicine.
Natsu stiffened after Levy stood up straight, and glanced back at Lucy.
Natsu looked at Gray and Gajeel, and nodded. They smirked back. The all stood up at the same time, walking over to a cowering Lucy. Their shadows covered her, their eyes flashing with evilness.
"H-hey, wait, y-you guys don't have to d-do this-" Lucy's arms were pinned down by Gajeel, her legs by Gray.
"Hurry! Get the medicine!" Natsu told Levy, who ran off.
"Hey! Let me go!" Lucy yelled struggling. When she wanted to, Lucy knew she could be pretty strong.
"Hurry up, flame brain!" Gray yelled, who was struggling with Lucy's thrashing.
"Who knew she had such strength?" Gajeel grunted, his muscles bulging.
When Gajeel got a better grip, he put his hand right on Lucy's wound, and his grip was hard.
Lucy screamed in pain, Gajeel immediately letting go. Levy came back with the medicine, with wide eyes.
"What happened?" She asked, clutching the medicine. Lucy was cradling her throbbing arm, she felt some blood starting to come out.
The next thing Lucy knew, Gajeel flew across the room by the kick to the face from a pissed off Natsu.
"Idiot! Be more careful! You hurt her! Now apologize!" He yelled, watching Gajeel get up.
"Sorry," He murmured.
"Not to me, dip shit, Lucy!" He said, looking calmer than before but still mad.
"Sorry." Gajeel said, more serious.
"Seriously, I didn't mean to."
Lucy smiled, but was still in pain.
"Its ok, you're forgiven."
Natsu knelt down next to Lucy on one knee.
"Luce, please take your medicine. Both me, and you would feel a lot better. Please." He said. His voice seemed to take the pain away.
"Fine. But don't blame me if I fall asleep when I'm standing up." She huffed, taking the pill and a glass of water Levy gave her.
She swallowed it, water chasing it down. She made a disgusted face.
"Bleck." She said, almost throwing it up.
Natsu looked relieved, and Gray let go of her legs. Levy on the other hand, looked guilty.
"Shrimp, lets go out." Gajeel said, taking her arm.
"O-ok." Levy said, still looking at Lucy as the walked to the door.
Natsu helped Lucy up, and didn't let go until he had made sure she wasn't going to fall on her face. Lucy sat down on the couch, and curled up in a ball, making herself as small as possible. Natsu sat down next to her.
"So, Natsu," Gray said, taking the seat across from them.
"What happened to Lisanna?"
Natsu narrowed his eyes, clenching his fists.
"A spy. Apparently, she was working for Sting the whole time." He growled.
Gray, too, narrowed his eyes.
"Does she know...that?" Gray said, lowering his voice.
Natsu shook his head.
"No, of course not, I only tell my best men." Natsu said, a little too fast.
Gray smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Good." He said, getting up.
"Now if you excuse me, Juvia wants to drag me to an aquarium. Hope you feel better, Lucy." He added, waving goodbye.
It was creepy, because as soon as Gray was done talking, Juvia came out of nowhere, and snaked her arm through Gray's.
Lucy watched the pair leave, then turned back to Natsu, who seemed lost in thought.
"What's 'that'?" Lucy asked, making Natsu jump.
He looked surprised, and looked up.
"Something you shouldn't know, or worry about." He said, officially making that topic dead.
But, knowing Natsu, if Lucy tried her best, she knew she could get Natsu to do anything: Even telling her top secret information.
So, she put on her best puppy dog face, and leaned in closer to him. Ever since Lucy had met Natsu, he could never resist her puppy dog eyes.
"Please~?" She said, making her voice high and whiny.
He broke like very thin ice, then sighed.
"Okay, but don't tell anyone. Not Levy, or Mirajane, or Erza, or-"
"Natsu! I won't tell! Now tell me!" Lucy whined, sitting closer to him.
He sighed, and then wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.
"Fairy Tail is going to make an alliance with a couple of other gangs." He said, looking into her eyes.
"What? Why?"
"To take down Sabertooth." Natsu growled.
Lucy was silent for a while.
"Who are you going to make an alliance with?" She asked softly.
"Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale." He said, looking away.
Blue Pegasus was a playboy guild, having a high rank in the gangster world. Same for Lamia Scale.
"When are you guys meeting up?"
He was silent for a while.
"Tonight."
I'm finally done! I hope you enjoyed! Merry Christmas!
