A/N: I'm going to make this chapter crazy and probably confusing. Enjoy.

Erza had picked out a silver necklace for Lucy's birthday. She thought Lucy would like it. She hid it in a box and put the box at the guild. She walked home and saw Lucy was asleep. Erza smiled. Lucy looked beautiful when she was asleep. Erza slipped into bed next to Lucy. She felt Lucy move closer to her. Erza wrapped an arm around Lucy. She drifted off into unconsciousness.

Erza watched as Lucy was dragged away. She couldn't do anything about it.

"Lucy!"

"Erza!" Lucy was being beaten and tortured right in front of Erza and she couldn't do anything about it. The masked man smirked and kicked Lucy again. He pulled out Erza's sword.

"Seems like a nice way to kill her." He said. His voice was deep and rough. He pierced Lucy's stomach and stabbed her throat.

"LUCY!" Tears streamed down Erza's face.

Erza awoke and sat up quickly. She was sweating.

"It was just a dream." Erza mumbled. She looked at Lucy and saw that Lucy was alive and well. Erza sighed in relief.

"Something wrong?" Lucy asked quietly. Erza shook her head and laid down. She felt Lucy wrap her arms around Erza.

"I don't know what dreams you're having… but I can try to help if you let me in." Lucy mumbled quietly. Erza leaned her head against Lucy's chest. She fell asleep. Lucy smiled. She would help Erza no matter what.

Lucy woke up and saw Erza was missing. She frowned and checked the apartment. Erza wasn't there either.

'Maybe she went to the guild without me. I'll go check there.' Lucy got dressed and walked to the guild with Plue. Plue seemed in a happy mood. Lucy smiled. As they reached the guild, things seemed awfully quiet. Lucy walked in and the lights were off. No one seemed to be there. Lucy walked forward.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!" The entire guild came out of their hiding spots as the lights turned on. Lucy was shocked. She looked around and saw Erza in the crowd. They were all waiting for Lucy to come. Lucy started tearing up. She hadn't had a real birthday since her mother died.

Erza walked forward and hugged Lucy. Lucy hugged Erza tightly and whispered "You didn't have to do this Erza…"

"But I wanted to."

Lucy smiled and the guild began to party. Lucy and Erza were sharing some cake. Some of the others were trying to convince Lucy to drink. Lucy turned down the offer. Lucy grinned. This was the best birthday ever.

"Hey Luce, I need to show you something." Erza pulled out the box from her pocket and handed it to Lucy. Lucy opened the box and gasped. She looked at Erza and kissed her.

"Thank you Erza." Lucy put on the necklace and smiled. Erza grinned. It looked great on Lucy. Mira walked over to the two ladies.

"So, how are things between you two?"

"How are things between you and Cana?" Lucy countered. Mira shut up after that. Erza laughed. Lucy leaned against Erza. Erza picked Lucy up and took her to the pool. She threw Lucy in the pool.

"Ahh!"

Everyone laughed. Lucy climbed out of the pool and collapsed.

"S-Screw you guys…" Lucy said. She crawled to the bar. "Mira, get me a drink…"

"Are you sure about that Lucy?"

"Mira, please?"

"No Lucy. Mira don't give her a drink." Erza walked up behind Lucy. "I'm sorry I threw you into the pool."

"Yeah, whatever…" Lucy got up and walked home. Erza sighed. She sat at the bar.

"I need a cake…"

"Aren't you going to apologize?"

"No Mira. I should let her cool down."

"Okay."

Lucy sat at home and sighed. Why was she even mad in the first place? She started writing her novel. She stopped writing and went to bed. Erza walked into the apartment. She saw Lucy sound asleep. Erza went to sleep as well.

When Erza woke up, she heard throwing up noises. She didn't feel Lucy next to her so she got up. She realized who was throwing up. She walked into the bathroom and saw Lucy. Lucy looked miserable. Her skin was pale and she was sitting next to the toilet. Erza walked over and hugged Lucy gently.

"I feel like shit…" Lucy mumbled. Erza sighed.

"I bet you do."

"Shut up… At least you aren't sick." Lucy puked into the toilet again. Erza rubbed Lucy's back.

"So, I assume you won't be coming to the guild." Lucy glared at Erza for such a stupid question. Erza sighed and left the bathroom.

"Hey Erza. I wanted to go on a job with Lucy. Where is she?" Gray asked.

"She's at home sick."

"Oh… Natsu isn't going to be happy about that. He also wants to go on a job."

"That's true. She also got pissed at me for no reason. What did I do wrong?"

"I don't know Erza. Did you do anything last night?"

"She was asleep when I got home."

"Well, see you around." Gray walked away to go on his job alone. Erza was in a deep thought when Mira walked over and put a slice of cake down.

"You seem awfully quiet. Did something happen between you and Lucy?"

"I don't really know Mira."

"Why didn't she show up today? She should be here by now."

"She's at home sick."

"Oh… tell her that I said that she needs to get better or I'll she-devil her."

"Fine, but if you lay a hand on her, You might as well start digging your grave."

"Okay Erza, jeez…"

Lucy turned her head to see Erza entering the apartment. Erza saw Lucy sitting there reading a Sorcerer Weekly magazine. Lucy smiled when she saw Erza.

"Hey." Lucy hugged Erza. Erza was slightly confused. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing…"

"Erza, don't lie to me."

"I'm not."

Lucy raised an eyebrow but didn't do anything else.

"I made dinner."

"Thanks Luce."

Lucy and Erza ate in silence as if things were awkward.

"Well, I'm going on a walk. Care to join me Erza?"

"I'll come just in case you get sick again. I don't want to take any chances."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever…" They walked out of the apartment. It was a nice evening. Erza took Lucy to a secret hill to star gaze. They looked at the stars.

"They're so beautiful…" Lucy said. She leaned her head against Erza's shoulder. Erza smiled. It was nice to know that Lucy wasn't mad at her.

A/N: Well. Until tomorrow.
