Hey I'm back with another chappy! I don't own Fairytail..:l

Previously.

"You look familiar to me... would you happen to have been in Hargeon last summer?"

Normal POV

"Yeah, how did you know. ?" Natsu said.

" Oh. Sorry.. We met in Hargeon sometime in June. It's OK if you don't remember." Lucy explained.

Natsu just stared at Lucy looking very focused as Levy and Mira watched with sly smiles and an evil glint in their eyes.

Lucy on the other hand was looking at Wendy.

She was cleaning up all the left over bandages and the medicines she used to help Lucy recover. " Wendy right?" Lucy spoke up. In the process of cleaning then hearing here name Wendy jumped. " Oh. Sorry didn't mean to scare you." Lucy said apologetically. " Oh, its not a problem. And yeah its Wendy. Wendy Marvell." The young mage said with as sweet smile.

" Ahah! I know who you are! Your names Lucy! You saved Happy and I when those angry chicks wanted to beat the crap out of me! Plus you paid for our dinner that day! Thanks again by the way!" Natsu suddenly exclaimed.

This time all the girls jumped. " Natsu don't scare us like that!" Lucy shouted as she looked back to him and held the spot her heart would be, looking as if she jumped out of her skin.

" pffft... Haha haha haha! Y-you should see the looks on your faces! Hahaha! Priceless!" Natsu laughed.

Lucy,Levy, Cana, and Mira had tick marks on their forheads. "Natsuuu." They all said in unison. Natsu's laugh then turned into a quieter, awkward laugh as the three were surrounded by deadly auras. Natsu started sinking into his chair as Lucy got up off the floor and started walking towards him fists clenched. Her bangs covered her eyes.

" Ummm. Are you OK Lu-OW! What was that for?!" Natsu retorted with a pout.

Lucy was caught off guard.'he looks cute when he pouts. Wait what? No Lucy. Bad Lucy.'

Lucy quickly dismissed her thoughts and focused. " Because you laughed at me!"she said accusingly. " And I expect an apology." She added matter-of-factly.

" ...Fine... I'm sorry I scared you then laughed at the hilarious face you made." Natsu said reluctantly. "Happy?" " yup." With that Lucy walked back to the hospital bed they had her in. " Well I better get back to the bar. Poor Lisanna had to cover for me. She's probably already got a head ache from all the drinkers we got here." Mira said as she walked out the door.

"Yeah I should go too. I need to study my healing magic with Poluchka-San. Lucy-San, your clothes are in that chair whenever you feel ready to leave." Wendy yelled pointing to a chair as she skipped down the hallway." Bye Wendy-Chan!" Levy and Lucy said .

Natsu was still sulking in his chair after being scolded by Lucy." Well, I should go too. Jet and Droy are probably wondering what I'm doing." Levy said to Lucy." Oh,OK. Tell them I said hi!" Lucy said with a smile. " OK. Lu-chan! See you soon!" With that being said Levy walked out of the room.

Cana had already left with Mira to get more booze.

There was an awkward silence between Natsu and Lucy now. Natsu got over being scolded and was now fiddling with his ever-so-spiky-hair. Lucy just watched in amusement as his onyx-eyes were crossed and he played with a long piece of his bangs.

Natsu, feeling he was being watched, looked up. He locked eyes with Lucy before she pretended to be reading something on the board above him.

Natsu caught onto this and chuckled. " What?" Lucy asked." Nothin'" Natsu said with a smile as he leaned back in his chair. " No there's definitely something you think is funny and I want to know what it is." Lucy said looking at him with a pout.

'She looks cute..wait what!? I just met her! What's wrong with me!?' Natsu thought." I was only laughing at something Igneel told me." Natsu replied." Who's Igneel? I think you told me when we first met, but I can't remember." Lucy asked tilting her head." He's my dad! Although apparently he's not like other dads though." Natsu explained.

"How's he different from other dads?" Lucy asked full of curiosity. "He's a fire dragon." Natsu said like it was normal. "What!? Like the big, scaley, lizard-with-wings, dragon!? I thought they we're extinct." Lucy exclaimed.

"Yup. Although he disappeared July 7th year x777. I've been trying to find him ever since." Natsu said eyes downcast.

"Oh. That's weird. That's the same time I lost my mom." Lucy said more to herself, but since Natsu had enhanced hearing he caught what she said.

"You lost a parent to huh?" Natsu asked as he looked up. "Yeah, but I don't go looking for her since I know where she is and that she's not coming back." Lucy said. Her lip started trembling.

'No.. I can't cry in front of anyone. Especially not my friends.' Lucy thought to herself as she held back the tears that were pooling up in her eyes.

"Why won't she come back? " Natsu asked ,that was all it took." She's dead. She's in heaven now." Lucy said as the the tears silently fell out of her eyes. They carefully slid down her smooth cheeks down to her chin where they dripped off, and hit her hands that were cupped in her lap.' Crap. Stop. Stop it Lucy. Your a big girl now. Stop crying he's going to notice.' Lucy inwardly said as she quickly wiped the tears away.

Natsu could smell a salt like scent coming from Lucy.

'That doesn't smell like vanilla and strawberries to me.' He then saw that she wiped her eyes.

'Crap she's crying.' Natsu panicked as he went and sat next to her on the edge of the bed.

" I'm sorry. B-but please stop crying. I'm not that great with crying girls." He said

"I'm sorry. I should be over this by now." Lucy said as she continued to wipe the tears until they finally stopped.

She didn't notice that Natsu had wrapped one of his arms around her at an attempt to comfort her.

'That was sweet of him' she thought and smiled.

"Better?" Natsu asked as he removed his arm from around her shoulders.

"Yeah. We should go downstairs. I'm sure the master will want to see you. Especially since he knows you have been want'n to join the guild!" Natsu said as he threw her clothes at her.

" Hurry up and change! I'll be right here when your done." With that Natsu closed the door.

Ugh! Finally got to update! Hope you enjoyed!
