Hey guys~! I'm here with your new chapter~ I don't know if this chapter seems long for you guys because I know some of you guys read fan fictions through your computer but my laptop (Apple Mac) decided to give up on life and break as I was in the middle of making a the saddest part of a new one-shot fan fiction I'm working on! So I am now currently using my IPad as a substitute for sending my chapters to you to relieve yo' satisfaction :3

-Flashback-

Lucy on the other hand was very nervous, her hands were trembling as she felt Natsu stare at her while she was making his spicy chicken with chilli sauce on it. She wanted to ask about what was going on in the guild but she was scared that might start an argument and she didn't want her relationship with her best friend to break down because she loved him very much, it was a very awkward silence until one of them spoke up...

-Present-

~Levy's P.O.V~

I sat there. book closed, legs crossed and staring intently at the door as I was counting how long Lucy and Natsu was out of the guild for, it was really rare for both mages to be out of the guild for a long time and it was way past the time Lucy had set herself to get to the guild and Levy knew, she knew something was up.

"Yo shrimp, how long have you been counting for?" The iron dragon slayer asked as he slumped down onto the seat next to me, wrapping one arm around me while chewing on some iron, typical.

"Hmm... I don't know it's been about 49 hours and 46 minutes since Natsu has left the guil- wait. Make that 49 hours 47 minutes." I said with a defeat sigh.

"And Lucy?" Gajeel asked with curiosity.

"I don't even know any more, maybe around um.." Just as I was about to speak, the guild doors slowly opened revealing the person the guild missed the most, Lucy - and Natsu who wasn't far behind her.

It took a fair amount of time for anyone to process what just happened and realised who just walked through the guild doors; either that or they're waiting for someone to react first, scaredy cats. And of course being that I am her awesome and most closest - well coming close second from Natsu- best friend I took the liberty of squealing my head off and lunging towards her for a hug as I say with a very sarcastic tone.

"LUCY! I've missed you so much! how could you leave in the dark without your fantastic book? How could you leave with these scary, out of this world people? What would I do if they took me and threw me in the dust without your protection?Oh Lucy thank god you saved me from the evil, uneducated swines-"

"O-Oi - shrimp! Cut it out I think she's choking!" I looked up to see a very, and I mean very, purple-faced Lucy. I let go of her and just right after she regained colour on her face the whole guild tackled her while bombarding her with questions and statements such as.

"Where did you go?"

"You feeling better?"

"Want a cookie?"

"I've missed you so much!"

"Oh Lucy! We've missed you!"

"I FEEL FABULOUS!"

"Did you sort out your problems?"

"Are you okay?"

"You look really pale."

"You look really manly today Lucy, just like a man!"

"Do you need some space?"

I watched with glee as the guild's spirits were rising but my happiness and my smile dropped as I looked at Lucy and noticed that she was unnaturally pale which I found quite peculiar and of course it didn't go unnoticed by Gajeel. I looked at him and he looked at me with suspicion in his eyes, We both knew that something was awfully wrong with Lucy and which sparked worry in us. I shuffled through the crowd trying to get to Lucy when Natsu finally helped.

"Oi minna, cut it out I think she's gonna faint." He spoke softly and he gently placed one hand on her back and the other one on the lower part of her stomach which made me smile. but the others didn't seem as pleased, grunting and sulking as they backed away from the two.

Lucy weakly smiled and said nothing as she strolled right past them and toward the masters room, everyone stared in awe as Natsu meekly followed her then stopped halfway and sat on the staircase making sure no one went into the room, not even the S class people were allowed. Everyone just stopped what they were doing and just stared at Natsu as Laxus tried to get passed him.

"When I said no. I meant it" Natsu's voice was stern and demanding and Laxus grew angrier.

"Listen, Natsu." Laxus spoke with venom in his voice. "If I want to see the Master. No one gets in my way.

Everyone slowly backed away from the scene as the atmosphere became more tense as Laxus' lightning started to slowly spark around him but Natsu never wavered.

"Well, Laxus. Master is really busy right now, so if you would so kindly as to avoid going into his room while he is talking with Lucy. That would be great." Natsu's hand gradually start to light on fire and both of them slowly released the magic, the look on everyone else's face was petrified, and to be honest, I had never seen Natsu like this and it was too intense which frightened me too. Both boys looked like they were on the verge of exploding until they heard the masters door open with a blushing Lucy and an unusually happy-go-lucky looking Master.

Within that instance Natsu's flames disappeared and he went over to Lucy and accompanied her down the stairs as she slowly went to the bar and asked Mira to make her a strawberry milkshake, and Mira happily obliged. Everyone stared at the two as they just sat there talking as if she had always been there, Lisanna and I lightly giggled and told everyone to go back to what they were doing because we wanted Natsu and Lucy to be alone.

~Narrator's P.O.V~

"So.. What did the old geezer say?" Natsu asked while his hands were sweating like mad, Lucy chuckled as she held Natsu's gently and said.

"He laughed, very loudly I have you know, and he gave us his blessing and didn't do anything else, I guess we just have to wait and see if I am."

"I'm not gonna wait 4 freaking months Luce, I want to know now!" Natsu huffed like a little child and Lucy lightly laughed and patted his head.

"Well I want to know too but Makarov said that we wouldn't know until the 4th month then we have to wait for another 5, so don't get that upset because I'm upset too." Lucy smiled and Natsu sighed as they carried on their conversation when Team Natsu strolled along and butted in.

"What about nine months of waiting?" Erza asked, completely oblivious that she should give them personal space, Lucy and Natsu awkwardly laughed and tried to think of something to say.

"Yeah guys what is this about waiting nine months." Gray asked with one eyebrow lifted grinning like a madman.

"Oh guys, did you see the new wizard weekly? Mira looks amazing in it!" Lucy shouted out loud and Natsu agreeing.

"No, don't try and avoid the question, Answer it!" Erza demanded.

"Oh look a butterfly is in the room!" Natsu exclaimed pointing behind Gray; eyes gleaming.

"As if." Gray retorted not looking back to see that there really was a butterfly inside the room " Now. Answer the ques-"

"OH, IT'S SO BRIGHT OUTSIDE TODAY!" Lucy shouted at the top of her lungs and at that moment the clouds became grey and it started to rain. Everyone was silent for a moment as the rain became heavier and thunder started to appear, it became really awkward when Natsu started to agree with her.

"Yup, it really is a bright sunny day outside. Ne, Lucy let's go out and enjoy the sunshine!" Sweat drops started forming on Lucy and Natsu's forehead as they made their way to the exit when Erza ex-equipped and darted toward the guild door blocking the helpless two with her swords.

"Answer me now, or it's lights out to both of you" Erza spoke in a deadly tone.
