Missing Memory

"Lucy..is it really you?" Natsu's body trembeled as he forced himself to ask what was so obvious. Of course it was Lucy. He'd recognize her scent anywhere. Even without her scent to confirm it was her, he would still know the truth. All he had to do was look at her, apart from her nakama mark there was her amazing blonde hair,and even though it was longer it was still Lucy. Her beautiful chocolate orbs, all he had to do was stare into them, and if he lost himself in them, he'd know it was her. Her pale pink lips were still full like the day he kissed them. Even now he wondered if they were still as soft.

"Y..yyeess. I'm Lucy." the now undead blonde stuttered to say. She then grabbed her head and shut her eyes tight. Her head was throbbing with pain. I guess falling out of the sky and crashing into someone would do that to a person. Not to mention being dead and somehow now being alive. Yes she was facing cosmic jetlag.

Natsu watched as his mate clutched her head in pain and pulled her closer. "Luce are you ok? What's wrong? Do you have a fever? Here let me check." as Natsu lifted a hand to Lucy's forehead, she scrambled out of his arm and stood and hid behind a nearby tree.

Natsu quickly got up to move to her but a shout of protest from the blonde made him stop dead in his tracks.

"NO!" Lucy shouted as she hid her face behind the tree, trembling in fear.

Everyone looked confusingly to one another and then Erza stepped forth slowly. Lucy cringed a bit. Erza stopped ten feet from the tree hunched down and heeld at an arms, ad if she was beckoning a scared lost puppy. "Hello Lucy." She said in a strong yet gentle voice. Her read hair framing her face and her eyes shimmered with compassion. Her smile was warm and allowed a scared Lucy to peek her head out from the tree. "Can I ask you a few things?" Lucy shook her head in compliance. "Can you tell me your name?"

"Lucy Heartfillia." Lucy said in a timid voice.

"Good, Can you tell me where you came from?"

"Erza what the hell is with all these stupid questions?" Natsu asked angrily, not liking where this conversation was going.

Lucy cringed back behind the tree as she herd a mad pinkhead speak to an intimidating redhead.

"NATSU HUSH!" Erza snapped back to look at Natsu. Natsu cringed. Erza looked back to a once again cowering Lucy.

"I apologize Lucy, Natsu is an idiot," She said in a soothing voice once again brining out Lucy slightly from behind the tree.

"I..iitts ok." Lucy replied

"Now then can you answer my question from before?"

Lucy shook her head no defeatedly.

"Hey it's alright two more questions you do it?"

Lucy nodded and stepped out from behind the tree so she was in full view.

"Can you look over to that pink haired man."

Lucy did as she was told as Natsu protested it was salmon in the background.

"Natsu." Erza said with a grin and ever so shot hands up in surrender and crossed them in defeat. His face then softened as Natsu met Lucy's gaze.

"Do you know who this man is Lucy?"

Erza's question made Natsu go blank and everyone else cringe. Lucy stared hard at Natsu. Under Lucy's gaze he fidgeted and could feel heat rising to his cheeks.

"Lucy?" Erza asked questionably.

"No."

Just one word from Lucy made Natsu fall to pieces. He crumbled under his own weight. In shook and just heartbroken that his mate didn't even recognize him. Sure he was a little taller, more toned, and his hair grew a few inches, but still. To not know he was at all.

"Gray, Gajeel.." Erza spoke quickly and firmly. As soon as they herd their names both men rushed to Natsu's side and helped him up. The iron dragon and ice mage looked at each other before nodding. They draped an arm of Natsu's over their shoulder and made there way to go sit him in his house. With one final look at his mate Natsu crannied to see her face. A single tear fell from his cheek before he hung it low in disbelief.

"Lucy." Erza said firmly gaining Lucy's attention once more.

Lucy looked at Erza and spoke softly,"Yes Ma'm."

"Do you recognize anyone here?"

Lucy looked around and pointed to Levy and Erza herself. Both women looked shocked and touch. Levy put her hands to her face as tears started to break to the surface.

Lucy spoke up softly, and pointed to Levy. Levy froze and looked at her. "Levy Mcgarden, friend." Levy smiled. Lucy then shyly looked at Erza then looked down to the ground. "I'm sorry but I can only remember your name and face because of your hair.." Jellal smirked and Erza blushed.

Erza cleared her throat before speaking. "Well you can remember my name so I guess your forgiving a small smile across her face with a slight blush still vivid.

Everyone else looked down a little discouraged. Then Wendy moved toward Lucy holding Carla with a smile. "Hello I'm Wendy and this is Carla. Nice to meet you." Wendy held out a hand that Lucy lightly shook in response. The rest that were there followed suit and followed Wendy's lead.

Juvia then came up enthusiastically which made Lucy stiffen. Juvia took Lucy's hand and shook it vigorously." Hi Lucy-sama I'm are Juvia's love rival again." Juvia smiled menacingly and in Natsu's house Gray began to sneeze fiercely.

Happy flew over and plopped imself in Lucy's arms and hugged he while Lilly stood in font of her arms crossed andsmiling.

"I'm Happy and that black cat is Lilly.'

"How do you do," Lilly said.

"Lucy me and you were best friends and you always bought me fish when ever I wanted. You even let me sleep on your bed while you slept on the couch sometimes. And on my birthday you were my slave." He looked up innocently at her as he noticed evil glares from the surrounding women and Lilly. " Can't blame a cat for trying." He shrugged and nestled into her chest.

"Right now that the pleasantries are out of the way we should go to the guild and see master Makarov he will surely be able to help with this apparent memory loss predicament." Erza stated,"Lilly can you go and inform the boy e are heading to the guild, and not to bring Natsu till he has composed himself."

"Yes ma'am."

"As for you," Erza turned to Lucy and Happy "We shall figure out your punishment later Happy,and Lucy, you must be hungry right?''

Lucy nodded while squeezing Happy.

"Great we are going to a place where you can get some food, and just a little warning people might act strange upon seeing you, ok" Erza hooked an arm around Lucy's waist gently as Levy took her other side. The three walked toward the guild hall while Wendy and Juvia followed smiling, and little exceeds were carried along.
