Natsu lay in his bed, unable to move, speak, eat or even think. He didn't even know what to think. His sister had just disappeared and the love of his life walked out on him when she didn't even belong to him.

There was a knock on the door. Natsu turned his head, his body aching from being in the same position for over 24 hours.

"Natsu… Here's some breakfast…" Gray walked over to the table, only to see the dinner he had brought him before. "You have to eat something. I'm going to school now. Do you need anything?" Natsu closed his eyes and turned over. "I'll see you later."

Gray hesitantly closed the door and sighed. The band members decided it was best to all be in the same house for the next week or so.

"Still nothing?" Jellal asked, his hands in his pockets.

Gray shook his head. "I think he's going to be like this for a while. Maybe a month? Two?"

"We should forfeit… Next month is States. There's also an interview in a few days." They both sighed.

"I'll go call them." Takeshi walked up behind them. "Lucy's in no state to do anything either."

Upon walking away, they heard the door behind them creek open.

"No. Don't forfeit. Not after everything." Natsu's voice was croaky.

"Natsu! Are you sure?"

"Yea… Of course. Not after everyone fought so hard."

"I agree. Let's not dwell in our own sadness. Wendy wouldn't have wanted that." Lucy hugged herself.

"Oh… ok. Let's dedicate our States performance to Wendy." Gray smiled.

"Lu-chan… Are you going to school?" Levy put her hand on the blonde's shoulders.

"If Natsu's going."

He nodded. "Let's go. We'll be ok if we stick together."


"So, what song are you going to do for the interview?" Jellal asked the group at recess.

"Who's performing? Because I don't wanna." Gajeel slouched in his chair.

"Only 2 of the band members can perform but only one song. It contributes to our points. Who's up for it and who has something prepared?" Jellal looked around.

"We'll do it." Natsu pointed to himself and Gray.

"Are you sure?"

"Would you guys stop doubting me? I can do this. I might be only human, but I will survive."

"We have a song prepared as well..." Gray added.

"Ok. I guess that's settled. You guys can go now."

Everyone stood up, leaving Natsu and Lucy once again.

"Natsu… I-" They both winced as her phone rang.

"Your boyfriend wants you I'm guessing. He's more important anyway." He walked out with his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Natsu! I'm sorry…"

Lucy let her phone ring, not wanting to speak to anyone other than Natsu at that moment.

In class, the teachers were all being extremely nice to both Natsu and Lucy, knowing what they were going through. But the hardest part about going to school were dealing with the students. They all muttered and spread rumours about why the teachers were acting weird to Natsu and Lucy. The students were actually meaner to the pair, but they were just like zombies. Not listening, not looking and not giving a damn about anything.

That night, when Lucy was in bed about to go to sleep, a thought struck her.

If I wasn't alive, then Wendy would still be here and I wouldn't have hurt Natsu. None of this would've happened…

It hurt her but she knew it was true. She trudged into the bathroom, needing to wash her face. Lucy stumbled about, unable to see anything through her tears and through the thoughts that ran around her head.

Lucy grabbed the glass cup and looked at the water that swished inside it. Suddenly, her head hurt terribly. She dropped the glass as she collapsed. Lucy raised her hands to eye level. She squinted her eyes. Lucy could see 4 hands with blood smeared all over. When she looked up, she saw Wendy lying dead on the road, staring at her.

"Lucy… It's all your fault… It's your fault I'm dead. Your fault Natsu's crying. It's all you fault that this world is messed up. All your fault…" Wendy stared blankly into Lucy's soul.

"I know! I know it's my fault! What can I do?! How can all this be fixed?!" She screamed.

"Die."

Lucy stopped moving even though her tears didn't.

"Die…" She repeated to herself.

Looking down at the shards of glass on the ground, she picked a large one up, turning it around in her hand, examining it. She let out a breath and fainted.

Natsu woke up, breathing heavily, sweat covered his body. Prying the blankets that stuck to him, he sat up. Natsu opened his bedroom door and walked over to Lucy's room.

He knocked at it softly before opening it anyway. When Natsu walked in, his nose twitched at the strong smell of blood. He ran in without thinking. Reaching the bathroom, he noticed the blood, glass and unconscious girl.

"JELLAL! GRAY! GAJEEL!" He shouted as loud as he could.

Natsu picked Lucy up, looking at her body to see where she was hurt.

Only the hands?

The boys ran in and gasped.

"What happened?!"

"I have no idea! I smelt blood when I opened her door and then I come to see this!" Natsu looked at his friends for help.

"Where is she hurt?"

"Only the hands…" (A/N the glass cut her hands when she held it really hard by the way.)

Natsu picked her up and the large piece of glass fell out of her hand. They all froze.

"She wouldn't… would she?" Gajeel asked, astonished.

"After everything's that happened… maybe." Gray tried to find a reasonable answer.

"Let's get her downstairs. I'll go get the first aid kit and call Erza." Jellal ran out.

The rest of them quickly raced downstairs and placed Lucy on the couch. Blood dripped from her hands.

Suddenly, Erza came bursting through the front door with Takeshi close behind.

"That was quick." Jellal commented.

"Anything for a friend."

Erza kneeled next to Lucy.

"Antiseptic please."

Jellal handed her a bottle which she poured onto cotton balls. Erza wiped it on Lucy's hands which cleaned all the blood off as well.

"That must sting…" The boys all winced.

"Bandages please."

Erza wrapped the white fabric around both her hands.

"Make sure you guys keep an eye on her ok?" Takeshi looked at Natsu specifically. "Wait… When I think about it… Why are no girls staying with Lucy? It's a whole bunch of dudes with one girl! Ok! That's it. I am staying her from now on."

There was a slight stir from the girl on the couch.

"Sis! Shhh… You're gonna wake Lucy up!" Gajeel scolded.

"Oh… sorr-"

"Guys… What… What happened?" Lucy rubbed her eyes.

"We were going to ask you the same thing."

"Wendy…" The girl then let her eyes close again.


"Hey everyone and welcome back to the show. I'm Jenny Realight and please give the FT Delinquents a round of applause."

The group of friends walked onto the stage, waving at the audience and cameras.

"Welcome!"

"Thanks… It's good to be here." Jellal said as calmly as possible.

"Ok! Let's get this started. So how did the name 'FT Delinquents' come about? Did it just pop into your heads one day?"

"Well not exactly. Considering we are trouble makers at school, it kind of sparked the idea." Gray replied.

"That's very creative. Who influenced you to make a band?"

"Well… We're not exactly sure. Just all the successful artists out there that you all know and love." Natsu passed the mic to Lucy.

"Oh of course. What are your rehearsals/jam sessions like? How often do you have practise? Or is it more of a spontaneous thing?"

"It's generally more of a spontaneous thing, it just depends how much trouble we've made because most of our schooling life is made up of detentions."

The crowd laughed.

"Was there anyone in particular that you would like to thank? Or maybe a group of people?"

The members looked at each other.

"Actually, we'd like to thank a lot of people. Our school, for providing us this one in a lifetime chance, the friends that helped us improve. If you guys are watching, thank you! And finally, Wendy Marvell… A fellow nakama and guardian angel. She recently passed away and we would like to thank her for everything she has done for us and all the memories we've made together. We love you Wendy."

The group members raised their hand, making the Fairy Tail symbol. (A/N You know… the fist thing with the one finger? I don't know how to explain it…)

The audience clapped.

"Our condolences. One more question. What advice do you have for people who want to form their own band?"

Natsu took the mic.

"Well… Just go for it. When people say you can't, when they say it's stupid and you'll never be famous, push on. Who gives a damn what they say? Take in every chance and opportunity and embrace all the help you can get. And most importantly, treasure every moment you have with your friends, your band members." Natsu smiled. "Thank you."

"Ok! Do you have any last words?"

"Yes. Our next performance is dedicated to Wendy… So please come and support us through the hard time we have to go through… Thanks…"

"Thank you FT Delinquents! Now for all the viewers at home and who are here, they have a treat in store for you. Now which 2 band members will be performing?"

"Natsu and Gray." Jellal responded.

"Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster, the dynamic duo, will be performing for all you fans!"

The two males stood up and walked over to the other side of the stage. Natsu stood at the microphone stand and Gray sat in the piano chair.

"I dedicate this song to a woman that is no longer in my life."

{Natsu- Vocals, Gray- Piano and Backup Singer} [Natsu- Bold, Gray- Italics] (When I was Your Man by Bruno Mars)

Same bed but it feels just
A little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio
But it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you
All it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little
When I hear your name
It all just sounds like
(oooooh)
Mmm too young too dumb to realize

That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never never get to clean up the mess I made
Ooh and it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like
(oooooh)
Mmm too young too dumb to realize

That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing
But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say
That I was wrooooong
Oooh I know i'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much
You loved to dance
Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should've done
When I was your man

Lucy closed her eyes.

"Take good care of him. Promise me…" Wendy closed her eyes. "He… loves you… Lucy…"


Man… That song just hits dem feels… That last bit definitely gets me every time… (Sigh) So dang sad… Oh and the next chapter is set 2 weeks later… In that time they were crying and grieving and zombie-like so yea…

Next time:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk… Must I always dispose of these fairies?" A deep voice growled.

Somebody's going to get hurt…
