Chapter 3: What Happened?

World POV

FireDragon: Ummm... did you realize what you just texted? Lmao your weird Lucy.

She quickly looked back at her recent message and then face palmed herself, "I'm so stupid,"And then texted back furiously:

CelestialMage: Hey! Don't call me weirdo!

FireDragon: Nope, make me!

Lucy thought for a second...she had the perfect plan, "Hehehe."

CelestialMage: Okay, Whoever can beat each other in Just Dance will get to call the other person an embarrassing name for the rest of the week!

FireDragon: YOUR ON!

FireDragon: Meet me at the dance studio in one hour!

CelestialMage: Be prepared to lose!"Aww Luce," Natsu pouted, "Pick another nickname!"

She giggled, "Not a chance Pinky!" She teased as she draped a towel around her neck to clean the sweat.

"It's not pink it's salmon!"He shouted doing the same.

"Whatever you say Pinky,"

Lucy broke out laughing at Nats- I mean Pinky's non-stop whining, and clutched her stomach as tears of laughter rolled down her cheek.

"Tch," he muttered, "Sore winner..."

Natsu's POV

She can be so evil sometimes though, and I can't believe she won 7 out of 10 such a great dancer why would she ever-Natsu frowned, thinking back to fight they had last night. He didn't like seeing her sad. Her never dancing again brought fear to his heart.

"Lucy...,"He was about to say... before a loud bang broke through the silence the sound of glass shattering and the vision of Lucy...screaming and crying as his eyes grew weaker and weaker ...

"Will he be okay?" a familiar voice called.

The next voice wasn't so familiar as a man spoke,"He's lucky to even be alive..."

"What do you mean?" Natsu recognized the first voice, it was Lucy.

"Well he's lucky the bullet only went throug-"

Natsu was shocked -I got shot? By who? Where we're we again? Oh that's right the dance studio having fun... Wait, is Lucy okay?-

Yeah he could her voice but he didn't know if she got hurt, and that's when his heart started to beat faster. He finally opened his eyes to find Lucy holding his hand to calm him down. He tried to ask her if she was alright but nothing came out when he realized she was crying.

"N-Natsu..." Her eyes we're puffy so he guessed she was crying before he was woke up.

He tried to talk, but all that came out was a raspy voice, "Lucy..." was he could say before two soft fingers came up to his lips.

"D-Don't talk..."she tried to smile but her tears said otherwise.

Natsu only nodded -Why does it hurt when I try to talk?- He lifted his left hand to feel his throat which was throbbing with pain. He felt a a huge bandage wrapped around his neck and upper right collar bone. He looked down at Lucy to find her starring at his backpack across the room on a chair. She looked back at him and asked politely if she could go get something. He was about to say "Okay," but do to a sudden burst of pain he nodded.

-Did I get shot in my neck? Wait...If I did...then how am I still alive!- More questions filled his head but they soon ended when a giggling Lucy came back with a notebook that had pictures of dragons and fire all over it, and pen with a Dragon wrapped around it as decor.

She sat back down to the right of Natsu on little stool as she gave the notebook and pen to him. He was confused at first until Lucy spoke, "Instead of trying to speak just write down whatever you want to ask or say."

Natsu made an 'O' shape as he opened his notebook and gripped his pen in his right hand. Before he started to right anything, he stole a glance at Lucy to see she was wiping her tears away with her sleeves. Natsu turned his head back to the paper, and started writing something. Even though He had to admit...his handwriting sucked. He passed the notebook to Lucy as his face turned a bit red when she said his handwriting was cute, and then she started reading. While she was doing that, Natsu decided to press his fingers against bandage to try and figure out where the wound was. To his surprise, it was right between his neck and collarbone, and all the thoughts of him not being able to survive came flooding back. Lucy noticed this and took his right hand in her own and intertwined their fingers. Natsu was so surprised that the thoughts vanished.

Lucy POV

-I want you to...wow his handwriting kinda sucks, probably because he's using his non-dominate hand- She giggled a little and turned her head towards Natsu who was blushing a little too much at what she just did, but she didnt mind. She looked back at the notebook and the last word was 'Dance'.

She turned her head again at Natsu, "Y-you want me to dance?"

He nodded and gave a toothy grin that she couldn't help but smile back at. She sighed a little, handed the notebook back to Natsu, got up and stood their and thought.

"What song you want me to dance too?" She questioned him.

She could see that he was thinking and waited before he showed the notebook to her. Lucy had to squint a little before she could read what he wrote. To her surprise it was "History Maker Form Yuri!on ICE" She blushed a little knowing that Natsu knew that was her favorite song from the anime, and that she had been practicing the moves as if she were actually on ice. Lucy examined the rest of the room to see if their was enough space, and then started to move the chairs a bit to the side when she realized she was going to need a little more room. -Good thing I've been copying the moves for the past few weeks- She took a deep breath, took her phone out, went to her playlist, and started to dance to the music.

Natsu POV

Natsu watched in awe and continued to until she finished dancing. Then out of nowhere their were 7 pairs of hands clapping behind her at the entrance. -When did they get there?- He tried to clap like the others but stopped when a shock of pain went down his right arm. He winced a little before grabbing the notebook and writing how great Lucy had been. He held up the notebook for Lucy to read, and she did. Natsu noticed she blushed a little and he gave her a smile. -Man not talking sucks, and my right arm hurts so much...- Soon he heard two familiar voices call out, "Natsu!" He looked up to find his father Igneel and mother Grandine pushing past the 5 doctors that stood in their way.

A/N: I Know IT Doesn't Make Sense But Let Me Tell You This: The Bullet That Shot Natsu Went Roughly Between His Collar Bone and Neck, And That's Near His Shoulder. So In A Way He Got Shot In The Shoulder, And I'm Basically Trying To Say That The Bullet Went Through His Muscle That Lies Between His Neck And Shoulder... I'm So Stupid, I Should've Searched Up something But This Came To Me In The Middle Of School So I Didn't Bother :P Anyways Hope You Enjoyed Chapter 3. Chapter 4 Will Be Added To Here Soon, And By Soon I Mean I'm Going To Update This In A Few Days.

Chapter 4: Panic

Natsu's POV

-Mom? Dad?- Natsu thought.

His dad's voice boomed across the large hospital room, "Natsu! you idiot!"

Before Natsu could pick up his notebook and ask what he did to deserve to be called an idiot; he felt his father embrace him in a strong, gentle hug, patting his back, feeling what he assumed to be his dad's tears running down his own neck. He took his uninjured left arm, wrapped it around his father's back and dug his face into his neck. Natsu took a glance to his right to find Lucy and his mother hugging and crying. He lifted his head as his dad released him of the hug, giving Natsu the chance to grab his notebook and pen on his lap and started writing something down.

Natsu could feel the intense stare coming from his father buy preteens to ignore it as he wrote down that he couldn't speak. -Hope he doesn't freak out- Natsu thought to himself. Soon he held the notebook up so Igneel could see what he had written.

Shock filled his father's face, but slowly disappeared due to smirk crawling up his scared face, " We finally don't have to her you complain anymore!" Igneel started laughing, clutching his stomach, and gasping for air at the hurt/annoyed face Natsu was giving off. Natsu just watched in annoyance, and got even more annoyed when his mother and Lucy joined in on the laughter. Lucy fell to the floor laughing along with Igneel while his mother, who was the more polite one, covered her mouth and giggled along. Natsu forgot about his injury and tried to cross his arms over his chest in a pout, but winced loudly in pain as he let his arm fall onto his right side on the hospital bed. Soon everyone stopped laughing and turned their attention to Natsu. -Why are they starring at me?-

World POV

Lucy was first to speak up and ask if he was alright, and gave him a worried expression. He shook his head 'no' in response because the pain was starting to get to him. His shoulder throbbed really hard as if his muscle was trying to reattach itself to the bone. Igneel and Grandine rushed to Natsu's side giving him worried glances and asking if something was wrong. He shook his head in response wanting to speak so he could tell them how much his shoulder hurt but instead tears were starting to fill his eyes. Lucy had left the room in search for nurse that could help them out. Little did Natsu know, everyone started to panic because they saw blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth, and as soon as the doctors entered the room, Natsu let the world disappear once again due to lack of blood.
