Hello peeps! I am back! With, of course, another chapter of… *drum roll*
Turn Your Head!
And our lovely guest today is…
Happy!
Happy: Hey, IsolatedWilderness where's that fish you promised me? *pouts*
IsolatedWilderness: *Sweat drops* *Faces audience* Now guys don't be mistaken, I most definitely did not bribe him to come here! That fish was… never mind!
Happy: I'm gonna call Natsu if you don't give me a fish! Gimme a fish!
IsolatedWilderness: Okay, okay. But first, do the disclaimer! Or else… you won't get the fish.
Happy: No! Give. Me. The. Fish. NOW!
IsolatedWilderness: Hey, Happy. You know that one time I met Lucy; she taught me how to do that Lucy Kick of hers?
Happy: Aye! *Realizes what she said*
IsolatedWilderness: LUUUCCCYYY KIIICCCKK!
Happy: You're just as mean as Lushi! *Disappears in the sky*
IsolatedWilderness: *Dusts hands off* Well, I guess I will have to do the disclaimer then. I don't own Fairy Tail, and I never will. *Sobs*
Chapter 4- Small, blobby, slimy creatures
Lucy jerked her head up. She gazed around the room blearily, rubbing her eyes. She then saw the doors- closing. Lucy made a mad dash towards it, barely squeezing through to the other side.
"That was close." She sighed. "Hey, wait a moment. MY REWARD!" Lucy stared at the receding silhouette of the train angrily.
"Too late to go on another job, and my rent money is due tomorrow… what am I going to do?" Lucy shook her head. "Late night job it is then. Without Natsu, of course, since that blockhead is probably sleeping. What about my beauty sleep?" She wailed.
Lucy trudged back to the guild, not surprised when it was quiet, except for the occasional drunken groan from Cana. She sullenly went to the quest board and looked for another job.
"What's wrong, Lucy?" Mirajane said. "Why are you looking for a job this late? And what about that other job you had?"
"I left the reward jewels on the train… and my rent is due tomorrow. So I have to go on another job." Lucy replied.
Mirajane patted Lucy's back.
"Don't worry; I'm sure it'll work out." She said kindly.
"This one please, Mira." Mirajane recorded it in the book.
"Good luck, Lucy."
At Lucy's apartment
"I wonder when Lucy's gonna come back. That weirdo is probably lost somewhere. Huh, Happy?" Natsu said, sprawled on Lucy's pink bed comfortably.
"Aye!" Happy said, curled up next to Natsu.
"Whatever, she'll come back. Let's sleep!" Natsu yelled, spitting flames out.
"Lucy will be mad if you burn stuff again in your sleep." Happy said.
"Yeah, yeah. Who cares?" Natsu said, drifting off to dreamland.
Happy followed his lead, dreaming about infinite fish and Charla.
Lucy
Lucy went to the train station, wistfully imagining Natsu next to her. Wait, wait, wait. Back up there. She did not imagine Natsu just then. No way. It wasn't as if he would return the… feelings she harbored for him anyways, so she should quit dreaming and get to reality. He was the densest person she knew. Natsu wouldn't even notice the secretive glances she sent his way, or how her eyes shone like diamonds when Natsu slung his arm over her shoulders. She would always push him away, but in truth she craved his touch. But… if she pushed him away, did that mean she didn't like him? No, Lucy was certainly falling for Natsu. Was she denying it? Yes, that was probably right. Lucy was afraid that she would be hurt again, the pain of being left alone and shunned, had yet to go away. Love was so confusing. So… she knew she loved him, but was still denying it?
Lucy dusted her hands off. That job wasn't too hard, only consuming a bit of her magic power. She was walking back to the train station, when a jolt of pain tore through her body. She gasped in surprise, looking at her right arm, where she was sure the pain had come from. Lucy nearly fainted when she saw that her veins bulged out, pulsing a poisonous sickly green. She started sprinting to the train station, experiencing stabs of pain that traveled throughout her system. She collapsed on the seat, panting with the effort.
When Lucy reached her apartment, she was tired as if she ran 10 kilometers. Her arm was clutching the arm that was still pulsing an ugly shade of green. She crumpled on the floor, straining her body to try and make it to the empty bed. Lucy's body made a dull thump when she passed out.
Next morning, at the guild hall
"Hey, Gray, have you seen Lucy around today?" Erza tossed the casual question to the unsuspecting Gray, who immediately answered, "No, ma'am."
"Aye, now that you mention it, I haven't seen her either!" Happy interjected, directing his attention away from Charla for once.
"That's strange. Usually she is here around now, is she not? She's late." Erza said. "Gray, go check on her."
"Yes, ma'am." Juvia glared at Erza. "Does she intend to separate Juvia and Gray-sama?"
Erza was waiting patiently when she saw Gray rushing in, supporting Lucy (which was basically carrying her) into the guild. Erza ran towards them.
"What's wrong with her? What happened?"
"I found her lying on the floor. Look at her arm, Erza." Erza did as he said, and gasped. Wendy went over to them, wanting to see what the ruckus was about. She had the same reaction as Erza, a shocked gasp. Wendy immediately started to work her Sky magic on Lucy, illuminating her arm with a ghostly but calming blue. Gray, meanwhile, had gone to where Makarov, or Gramps, as they called him, was sitting. He pulled Makarov's arm as they made their way to Lucy's limp body.
"I know what's wrong with her. Get Natsu, now. This is an order." Makarov said sternly.
Thanks for reading this chapter, and please review! Also, as I said on my other story Let's Play Hangman, I am thinking of doing a crossover between Percy Jackson and Fairy Tail. Though if I do end up doing it, I don't know when I will start, as I am already updating two stories.
Please review about that!
Thank you again for reading this chapter!
