Lucy walked in to Fairy Tail cheerful and happy, she had just gone out to the shops with Natsu and bought the latest videogame console. Lucy swore that when Natsu got his physical form back she would wipe that smirk off his face and smash him at Mario Kart. He was waiting upstairs for her now.
But all she saw was depressed, tired and helpless faces all around. She cautiously walked over to the bar and asked Mira what was going on, and Mira said to her in a sad forced voice "One… one of our friends, on this day exactly one year ago was…" She paused as a tear slid down her face "sent into a coma. We have been paying the hospital to keep him there for a year hoping he will wake up. But if he doesn't wake up soon…" Mira not so silently burst out sobbing "Cut the life cord keeping him alive".
Mira walked out of the bar and sat next to Lucy, "Why… W-Why won't he just wake up. That t-that idiot". Lucy no longer pushed for information and hugged Mira, it must be horrible. Her parents died and she never had a say in it, now they were being forced to cut the life support on their friend.
Lucy could only wonder how they stayed hopeful for so long. She looked around to see everybody else was also suffering, In particular Romeo. Lucy had never had a serious conversation with Romeo but he seemed like a nice kid, always so happy and full of energy. It must have hit him hard.
Lucy tried to sit next to him and talk to him but Romeo only pushed her away. Wendy was sitting on a table near him looking on with concern, "Romeo looked up to him… like an idol and a big brother, heck, he liked him better than his old man" Macao told Lucy and forced a small chuckle at his last sentence.
Lucy noticed Wendy wasn't there and asked Erza where she went, Erza didn't answer at first but then replied "Please go find Wendy, I think she needs some comfort right now. You see she is studying medicine and first aid, so when 'it' happened she tried her very best but it was too late. She blames herself for it, it's not her fault"
Lucy didn't even think twice before running upstairs to Wendy's room, No one deserves to carry that burden on their shoulders especially not that sweet, caring little girl. She opened the door without knocking to see Wendy sobbing under her covers.
Lucy walked over and got a few things from the desk and got inside the blankets with Wendy, there was just enough room for the two of them. "Lu-Lucy! What are you….." Wendy paused to see what on earth Lucy was setting up.
She put a torch on the Bed and turned it on, then she put some chocolates and sweets in the middle of them. "Were going to have a sleepover! Girls only!." She wiped the tears of off Wendy's shocked face. "It wasn't your fault" Lucy whispered then stated "Were going to have fun tonight! I will make sure of it, just make sure Carla doesn't get the chocolates!"
Lucy knew from experience, when in times of sadness the last thing a child needed was someone focusing in the core of the sadness. Instead, focus on the happy things and have fun. Secretly Lucy had always wanted to have one of these, she had everything you could have asked for. If she wanted, she could have 5 rooms to make a fort. Only one key thing was missing, friends.
Lucy knew, you didn't need money or lots of items to have fun. Wendy cried, this time tears of happiness "Thankyou Lucy-san…..", Lucy smiled. "We can stay up and tell stories, not scary stories, nice ones. Like stories about fairy's!... Wait this isn't enough snacks! This is an emergency!" Wendy couldn't surpass her giggles "Mission Infiltrate Fairy Tail's kitchen is now in motion!" Lucy said in a commander voice, then laughed with Wendy.
She could already tell the better mood this had put Wendy in. She got out of the little fort and went up to her room only to be ambushed by Natsu, "Luceeeee why did you take so long?" "reasons, I'm having a sleepover stay here" Natsu looked very not pleased with a pout on his face. "Hmph fine"
"Wait didn't you say you needed to be near me" Lucy quickly thought, she didn't want him to disappear. "Nah, I just wanted to spend more time with you!" Natsu said grinning. Lucy rolled her eyes and walked to her cupboards trying to hide the blush that spread across her face.
She grabbed more snacks and went back to Wendy's room, she got under the covers to find Wendy a lot happier than when she got in there before. That night the two had a fun sleepover, they ate lollies and had junk food while telling fun stories and what they thought a fairy would be like.
Just before sleep over took them Wendy said "Will I not be able to meet a fairy now because I cried?" "Because you cried and hurt, because you healed. The fairy's will definitely visit you" Lucy answered.
Later that night Erza came to check on Wendy and saw the two sleeping soundly together in a fort of blankets and pillows with a sign that said "sky dragon slayer Wendy & celestial mage Lucy" and chuckled 'that's right, Wendy was always into wind dragons'. She tucked the two girls in like a mother and whispered "You did well Lucy, thank you" and left.
Hey guys! Hope you liked the chapter. I decided to add some nice friendship between Wendy and Lucy ^-^ I mostly wrote that part because when I was little I wish someone would do that for me. But anyway, if you liked it please review! It means so much! Also lol I was so focused on updating the other chapters I kept forgetting to put my signature at the bottom XD.
