Lucy walked back upstairs to her room, she had just finished the sleepover with Wendy. As a full grown adult (ish) She shouldn't have enjoyed that as much as she did. Now she had to feed the impatient cat happy.

She walked in the room to find Happy and Natsu sleeping together on their hammock. She immediately worried remembering Natsu said ghosts don't need sleep, had something happened! was Natsu ok!. She panicked.

"Lushieeee… stop being so loud" He rolled over to face away from her, "I-…I thought you said ghosts don't need sleep?" Lucy questioned curiously "They don't. Doesn't mean we don't enjoy a nice nap now and then" Natsu sleepily answered.

Lucy was ticked, "WHY ARE YOU TAKING A NAP! ITS 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON". She tried to shake him and wake him up again since he had just fallen asleep ignoring her. His only response was grumbling, "You're so pretty why do you have to mean, plus the entire place probably think you yell at yourself" in a whiny tone as a joke.

Lucy took it seriously. Very seriously. She couldn't stop the heat rushing to her face when he said that casually, not realising what it sounded like. She turned around trying to hide her blush, both from what Natsu said and from the embarrassment of yelling to seemingly nothing.

"Just get up" and with that she went on her laptop to try writing. Lately she had no inspiration, and the due date her publisher had set was her birthday which was coming up pretty soon. "What about the dragon and the princess fall in love?" Lucy practically jumped out of her seat, she didn't even see him there.

"Oh sorry for scaring you, Although your reaction was pretty funny! Happy did you see that!" He laughed with his blue companion as Lucy growled and went back to her computer. "Maybe they could be best friends, the dragon could hope that the princess would fall in love with one of the princes because he thought he wasn't good enough. But the princess loves him and they have a happy ending!" Natsu rambled about how the dragon could be fire breathing and 'epic'.

"Well what would the dragons name be?" Lucy asked, at first it was funny but now she was generally interested in it. "Igneel!" Natsu said enthusiastically but the smile fell from his face when Lucy asked why. "It was my dad's name before he disappeared, now if he ever comes back he won't be able to see me anyway" He said sadly looking at the ground.

"Igneel it is" Lucy begun typing the story at a pace she never thought she could, maybe it was because of an exciting new idea, maybe it was because her best friend was cheering her on. Natsu boredly walked around her apartment looking at calendars, the open pantry door and other random things.

"Hey Luce there is something I have to do real quick, bye!" He said as he jumped out the window "Jeez you could at least use the door…." The apartment was silent, not filled with laughter and grins that it usually was. Natsu was only going to be gone for a bit….. Why did she miss him so much?. Not just him, his voice, smile and even his teasing. Lucy missed him.

She wasn't going down today, she wasn't in the mood to deal with a depressed silence. That was when a knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts, she walked over and opened it to find her small bluenette best friend. "We are going to visit our friend at the hospital, would you like to come?" Levy said in a small voice

Lucy's heart exploded in sympathy and immediately agreed. So they headed for Magnolia hospital, "What is your friends name?" Lucy asked in an attempt to comfort her friend.

"Natsu….. Natsu Dragneel."
