This is a completed story, if you haven't read it before, so I am chunking it together.

"Do we have to take the train?"

Lucy shook her head, smiling lightly at the dragon slayers complaints.

It had been two weeks since Natsu had been diagnosed with AML, and so far it hadn't been a walk in the park. Because of the medication, Natsu ended up feeling worse than he did, cursing as he could barely keep his food down. He also was tired most of the time. Besides feeling worse, it wasn't until last night when they got a letter stating Fiore's best hospital finally wasn't packed [since its a private facility, after all] and had an opening for Natsu to see Dr. Nightingale the most certified oncologist in the country. Of course, it was costly, but worth it for Natsu. Radiology here they come!

"Of course! It's the fastest way there"

Natsu groaned, grabbing the puke bucket and upchucking his lunch. Ah, the amazing scent of partially digested chicken. Cancerous chicken, as Gray had so put it. Cause like, yah know, cancer is TOTALLY contagious. Yay.

The conductor boarding and Natsu, Lucy, Gray who had been commenting on the chicken, Erza who had gone to buy their tickets and Happy (who had been strangely quiet) boarded the train. They took their seats, with Natsu (who was curled up under a blanket they put over him) and Lucy ( who Natsu was leaning up on while rubbing his back as he so generously contributed to the 'bucket of despair') on one side and Erza and Gray on the other side of the booths as they so call them, with Happy sitting atop the window ledge. The train engine begun, the whistle blowing as they began moving towards what was the start of a new adventure. Off to Crocus!

"Urgh"

Vile smelling gunk piled inside the grey colored bucket as Natsu released his dinner that was partially digested from his stomach. Once all contents had been so generously emptied from the sickly pinkette, he slumped over and shivered. Lucy pulled the blanket so it covered him up to his nose, letting him lay his exhausted body on her. It was uncomfortable, that was for sure, but he whimpered like a puppy if she even adjusted herself! Stupid slayer...

Lucy looked around, seeing it was only her that was still wide awake. Erza had fallen asleep about an hour ago, while Gray conked out while the journey was still young. Happy had curled up next to Natsu when the clock hit around 7:56. Natsu slept since they left the station, awakening once in a while on occasion.

She was the only one still awake.

The blonde looked out the window, pulling on her coat as she saw light snow fall to the ground. Back in Magnolia, it was around 50 degrees so there was no need for winter clothes. However, Crocus was around 23 degrees and had plenty of snow this winter. She just hoped she brought warm enough clothing with her...

Natsu shifted, moaning in discomfort as the train hit a bump.

"Shh, it's okay. Only three more hours, alright Natsu? Hang in there"

Happy peeped an eye open, snuggling closer to Natsu.

"Lushey right... hang in there Natshu..." the exceed mumbled.

Almost there

His head was dunked back as he held a tissue plugging his nose, trying to stop the bleeding. He hadn't had a nosebleed since they left Magnolia, but good things can't last, can they?

Natsu threw the tissue away before stumbling his way back to his seat. He was waiting in the oncology lobby of FNH, waiting to be admitted. He was there alone, telling his team to settle into their hotel then meet him at the hospital cafeteria for lunch. They arrived in Crocus at around 7:30ish this morning, stopping for breakfast at a coffee shop then parting ways to their destinations planning to meet once Natsu was admitted. Happy had wanted to go with him, but he had wanted the exceed to go with Lucy. Not that it really mattered who he went with...

"Natsu Dragneel?"

He turned his head, spotting a nurse in blue scrubs with a chart at hand. The slayer stood up and clumsily walked over to the nurse, feeling somewhat nauseous and lightheaded. She took him to the first room on the right, asking him questions before leading him to room 406. He sat down on the bed, tossing his legs on and lying his head back. The nurse set him up with an IV and morphine then left him with a box of tissues.

He leaned over the bedrail and hurled his breakfast up and onto the floor, groaning as he slumped back onto the bed.

Joy.

~With Miss Lucy~

Lucy was walking up the busy road, speedily making her way to FNH. Oh the joy of Crocus, beauty detracting her from getting back to Natsu. The rest of the group had already left before her, but she had wanted to take a shower before anything else. She had been sitting on that God Damn train for freaken ten hours straight, and she smelled! It was decent of her to take the shower before, right?

"Look out!"

The blonde turned, Brown eyes widening as a run away wagon sped towards her. A body knocked into hers, and was swiftly pushed out of harms way. She looked up, gaping as she saw the face of her saviour. Blonde hair, blue eyes, muscular... She must have a concussion or something...

"Hi, I'm David. Sorry about getting you dirty, but it's better than being smushed right?"

Yup, defiantly a concussion.

Lucy just stared doe eyed at David, jaw slack as he stood up and brushed himself off, before offering her a hand. She quickly took it and he gracefully helped her up.

"So, I've never seen you around. What's your name?"

"Lucy"

"Lucy, what a beautiful name for a beautiful young woman. Mind if I ask where your going?"

Lucy blushed, before responding to his question with a FNH cafeteria.

"May I walk you there?"

"You may"

They walked in silence, Lucy enjoying the company.

"So Lucy, why are you headed to FNH?"

" I could ask you the same thing since I'm sure you where headed somewhere too"

"True. Alright, ill tell you why I'm following you if you tell me why your going to Fiore's best hospital"

"Alright then. My friend has Acute Myeloid Leukemia and I'm here to support him"

"I'm sorry to here that, but it's good he has someone to help him through this. Cancer is a very hard disease, and honestly he's going to need all the support he needs"

"Dont worry, he has a whole guild backing him up"

"Ah, so your in a wizard guild. I assume Fairy Tail from the mark on your hand"

"Your very observant"

"Indeed. I also assume your not just any old Lucy, are you? Your a Heartfilia, and participated in last year's games correct?"

"Wow, you do your research"

"Heh, it's an old habit of mine"

"Well at least it doesn't involve anything crazy"

"Yeah"

"So, now it's my turn to ask why your going to FNH"

"I work there"

"So your a doctor"

"Oncologist. I work on both mages and non mages"

"Oh, so you know Dr. Nightingale"

"Very well, like the back of my hand"

"Is he any good?"

"Only the best. I can only assume he's your friends doctor if he is such a concern to you"

"He is"

"Well don't worry, your friends in good care"

"Ill keep you to that"

They entered the hospital, stopping at the front desk.

"Excuse me, could you point me to the cafeteria?"

The receptionist pointed left, not bothering to look up from her crossword.

"Well, I guess ill see you sometime"

"Yes, we could talk more"

They parted ways, Lucy going left and David going right.

Lucy couldn't wait to see him again.
