Lucy and Natsu had talked for hours, but she wasn't the least bit annoyed by it. Lucy had learnt a lot about Natsu, she learnt about how his dad was a part of the army until he disappeared and that he had taught Natsu lots of neat tricks to do with fighting.

At first she thought that Natsu had a rough childhood, but she also learnt how much he loved it and that those army skills had saved his life more than once. Although the last time even army tricks couldn't save him, Lucy saw the sad look in his eye so decided not to push further.

After more talking Lucy suggested they go downstairs, Nobody would be able to see him, but it might help him seeing them. He didn't want to at first, but Lucy had some pretty good persuasive skills if she didn't say so herself.

And that's how she ended up here. Trying to maintain a normal conversation with Levy while ignoring Natsu jumping around calling Gray insults, at first he took seeing his friends again pretty hard but now he was taking advantage of the fact that Gray couldn't hear him.

Lucy was stuck thinking 'Why am I even surprised anymore', from what she heard Natsu and Gray really didn't like each other and brawled constantly. Although the nicknames Natsu was using were very childish, then again this was Natsu, she had only known him for a day and she knew he wasn't the slightest bit mature.

Natsu came and sat next to her and Levy sighing, "It's not the same when he doesn't get angry and fight back" Lucy knew she couldn't respond, because nobody else could hear or see him. So she held back as much as she wanted to comfort him, Lucy hated seeing him with that depressed look in his eye, it didn't suit him at all. She much preferred the hopeful, cheerful grins and laughter.

Lucy wanted to make him be real again, but there was a problem. She had no idea what she was doing. Lucy had tiredness bags (that many people had commented on much to her displeasure) from being up all night looking through books about ghosts and rituals, Apparently ghosts don't need sleep so both of them looked together.

Thanks to those books, Lucy now knew how to summon a dead pet, how to revive a dead plant and how to make mouldy food eatable again. Because that is totally useful information Lucy sarcastically thought to herself when recalling what she learnt.

Still absolutely nothing on Natsu, apparently ghosts have types, but not even Natsu knew what type he was making it even harder. So she came to her smartest friend, Levy. Lucy tried to ask without arising suspicion, but clearly it didn't work.

So Levy and Lucy walked outside (Natsu wasn't very pleased that Lucy left him) to the park. "So, you have found a ghost huh?" Levy said straight up not beating around the bush, before Lucy even had a chance to respond she said "Don't worry, I believe in ghosts, your secret is safe with me".

Lucy decided to tell her, after all Levy was her best friend. So she told Levy the entire story, but didn't mention Natsu's name once. Lucy wanted to check if she could help before telling her it was her dead friend.

Levy seemed interested "Sure I'll help! What is the ghosts name?" She questioned. Lucy simply pretended she didn't know just in case, if Levy knew Natsu she didn't want to hurt her.

'It should be fun" Lucy remembered what Natsu had told her the other night "Everyone there was like family, even if two people weren't that close or barley talked, we all meant the world to each other"

Levy adopted a determined look in her eye as she pulled out 10 books all about ghosts and rituals to make the physical again "It's not much, but I will help in every way I can!" Lucy just stared at the massive pile of books in front of her…..

"Do you just carry 10 books about ghosts around all day?" "Yep! I also have a couple of books on cooking, horse riding oh and-"

"ok ok ok I get the point" Lucy shushed her, knowing her the list would be infinite. The two laughed together, "We will get them back won't we Lu-chan!" "Of course!"

More short chapters… I'm so sorry . At least I fixed the bad habit of leaving cliff-hangers XD anyway, as much as I love writing I also love reading. So if you are writing a fan-fic that doesn't have as much attention as you would like, let me know! I will read and review then maybe give a shout out to it ^-^ I don't even know how my crap book has this much followers XD but I want to help any authors that are struggling :3
