Authors notes:
I'm so sorry it's been forever! I would like to say this chapter is extra long to make up but it isn't... IM SORRY! Anyway this next chapter will confuse you even more but I promise I have a plan.
In other news school started so I'm not going to update as quick... ;( But never fear I still am writing this!
When Lucy woke up she found herself hugging Natsu. Quickly she scrambled away from him, and was about to give him a 'Lucy Kick' and call him a perverted flame brain before she remembered why she had been hugging him. Her face flushed, and she mentally face-palmed. What was I thinking? She thought, Tell me that didn't really happen... But the fact she had woken up with Natsu and and the footprints leading out of the clearing told the true story.
She looked down at Natsu and sighed. How could one person have such a big impact on her life. Heck, she'd even started thinking more like him... I'm even more of an idiot than he is, she thought. Did I really promise myself I would protect him? What would he even need protecting from?
She snapped herself back into reality, looking down at the salmon haired boy on the ground, she realized he wouldn't be waking up any time soon. Quietly she tip-toed away, she had an idea she wanted to follow up on.
Rocks crunched under her feet as she walked up and down the road. "Happy! Happy!" She called into the morning air. "Where are you?" And finally after receiving no response for what seemed like forever, "COME ON YOU LAZY FUR BALL, WAKE UP ALREADY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!"
The very tops of the trees shook with revelations of Lucy's yell, well one tree... Lucy looked up at it and almost screamed, but before she did she saw a blue paw.
"Happy," She exclaimed relieved.
Happy flew down to hover beside her, saying, "Eye sir!"
Lucy paused for a moment, wondering how to fraise her question so that Happy would tell her anything.
"Do you have any fish?" Happy wined, "I'm hungry!"
"SHUDUPYOUSTUPIDCATIMTRYINGTOTHI-" Lucy stopped suddenly, making her evil Lucy face. "Actually," She said slowly, "Let's go find you some fish, I need to talk to you..."
Three unexpected dips in the river, several make shift fishing poles, and a rather nasty worm incident later...
Happy sat on a log, loudly munching on a fish. Lucy sat nearby trying to get at least a little bit dry. The fish had taken them longer to catch then she had expected and she needed to get back to Natsu soon. Question time. Lucy thought, then turned to Happy.
"So Happy..." She started, "Would Natsu... I don't know, every cry?"
The blue cat nearly spit his mouthful of fish clean across the river, "Wh-aa-at?" He stuttered, looking surprised, "Why do you want to know?"
"No reason," Lucy lied, "Just trying to make conversation..."
Happy took another bite of fish, "Nomnomnom-nom-chewchew-smack-crunch-nomnomnom-nom-sir." Happy said.
"Could you repeat that?" Lucy asked, trying to stay calm.
Happy, whose mouth was now quite empty, again said, "Nomnomnom-nom-chewchew-smack-crunch-nomnomnom-nom-sir!"
Lucy had to use all her will power not to 'Lucy kick' him as hard a she could, sadly she wanted information so her 'Lucy kicking' would have to wait. "As interesting as that is... COULD YOU PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH?!"
"Why do you want to know?" Happy asked for the second time.
Lucy's head almost exploded, "Didn't we already go over this?" She asked.
"Ie, sir!" Happy replied.
"So..." Lucy prompted hopefully.
"FISH!" Happy yelled.
"HAPPY!" Lucy screamed.
Happy leaped of the log and into the sky, scared that Lucy had gone into evil Lucy mode. Laboriously he flapped his wings, weighed down by all the fish he had eaten. On the ground, Lucy slumped in defeat. "So long and thanks for all the fish!" He called to her, before leaving to find a place to sleep.
Lucy stood and started back towards their makeshift camp. She had been gone longer than she expected, and hoped Natsu was still asleep. Soon she was back to where the camp should have been, the clearing was empty. The only sign they had been there at all was the package lying discarded on the ground.
Somewhere in the forest a small blue winged cat waited nervously, hidden in a tree. Out of the darkness on the ground, a figure emerged. Quickly the cat flew down to it, perching on its head.
"What does she know?" It asked darkly.
"N-no-nothing, she knows nothing..." Happy stammered.
The figure laughed, "Your a funny cat..."
The plot thickens... Did anyone get The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference?
