So, how y'all been? Good? Good, because you just might not like me after this chapter, like Natsu.

Natsu: You're so mean!

Me: Well, I have to do this! You know what will happen if I don't!

Natsu: *gulps* A-Aye!

Me: Good.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.

Recap:

"Lucy," Erza started. This was hard to tell the celestial mage, but she had to. "in order to reverse the spell, a stellar spirit mage has to give up the memory of the person they love the most."

Mom.

Chapter 5

"L-Lucy! Are you okay?" Lucy stood frozen, in shock. For the sake of everyone, she had to forget her mother. Her mother, the one who was always on her mind. She wasn't sure if she wanted to let her memories go, but she knew she had to.

"Oh, yeah. How do we do it?" Erza was taken aback for a moment, hearing the eagerness in the blondes voice. She must be wanting to get this over with before she can change her mind. She's doing something that I could never do.

"We have to do a counter spell. Once the spell is over, you will fall asleep and the rain will stop. During your sleep, you will lose the memories, and when you wake up, you won't remember her. Are you sure you still want to go through with this?"

"Yes, I do." So she knows it's my mom. I need to talk to her later about that. Oh wait, I can't. I won't remember mom. "I need to do this for everyone, and fast, because we're almost soaked. Also, if I can't remember her, I can't be sad about it, right?"

"Okay, let's begin."

Natsu had the man pinned down, and was punching him in the face.

"Hehe-why would you-hehehe- do a spell-hehehe-like this?" Natsu's eyes were wide, like a madman's, and he had an evil smile. He was truly insane.

"Because...men...do not...deserve...to live!" The man said in between the punches.

"That doesn't-hehehehe-mean to kill-hehehe-them! Everyone makes-hehehe-mistakes. And for you-hehehe-trying to kill-hehehe-everyone-hehehe-I will kill-hehehe-YOU!" The man was frightened. He didn't know someone could have so much control, and yet so little.

"Gray...Gray...GRAY!" Happy shouted while hitting Gray in the face with a fish.

"W-What?" Gray looked around, remembering why he was knocked out. "Where is flame brain?"

"He went to where Erza and Lucy are!"

"WHAT? Happy, can you fly me over to where they are?"

"As long as you aren't as heavy as Lucy." Happy flew over and grabbed Gray. "Hey! You aren't near as heavy as Lucy!"

"Koko de kono hito wa, nanji no unmei o ukeireru. Anata no aisuru saiai no oboeteinai mono to shimasu. Anata ga me o samasu toki ni, anata no omoide ga kieteiku. Kurayami no naka ni, anata wa karera ni mō mimasen." Erza had her hands on Lucy's shoulders, while she was chanting the spell. The rain stopped, and Lucy was now asleep. Erza laid her down on the ground. She was walking over to Natsu to see he doesn't make too much damage to the man, on his own.

"You will never try to hurt my nakama again!" Natsu yelled as he kept punching the man in the face. Just then Natsu stopped and fell backwards, unconscious.

"Just as the old man said, everyone who went insane will go unconscious too." Erza said. She was finaly over to where the two men were. "Now, you will come with me, and I will turn you over to the Magic Council and they'll deal with you then." She grabbed the man's shirt collar, lifted him up, and punched him in the gut.

"Now I have to drag all three of them back to the hotel." She started to grab all three of them.

"Oi! Erza, what happened?" Gray and Happy finally found were they all went. They would've been there earlier, but Happy just had to stop at a pond and catch a fish.

A dark, evil aura surrounded Erza. "Why did you let him escape?"

"B-B-Because h-he knocked m-me o-o-out!" Gray and Happy started hugging each other, not wanting to face the Titian's wrath.

She held up a hand and turned her face away from them. "I will deal with you two when we return to the guild. Understood?"

"A-Aye!"

"Good, now help me carry these three back to the hotel. Happy, you are to carry Lucy and make sure she's still sleeping."

"Aww, but Lucy's heavy!"

"Did you say anything?"

"N-Nope!" Happy flew over and poked Lucy in the head. Now knowing that she was still asleep, he picked her up and started flying back to the hotel.

"Erza, who is this man anyway?" He nodded his head to the man that was slung over his shoulder. His face was so bruised it wasn't even funny!

"He's the man who cast the spell." With that they started walking back to the hotel.

"Mommy, Mommy!" A little blonde haired girl started running t'words her mom, with tears in her eyes.

"What is it Lucy?" Layla sat down on a rock and put her daughter up on her lap.

"The lady in my book left her mommy for this boy! Yet she said that she loved her mommy very much! Why would she leave her if she loved her?" Lucy said, tears still flowing from her eyes.

Layla started to pet her daughter's hair. "Well, you see Lucy, sometimes people find someone who they don't want to be apart from. If they do go apart from them, nothing seems right. That person can really love their mom, while really loving the other person to."

Lucy looked up. "But how can that happen?"

"There's a love that you have for your parents and family, and then there's the love you have that's saved for someone special. Though both loves are very strong, the love for your special someone can be stronger than your love for your family."

"I'll never love someone more than you!"

Layla giggled and patted Lucy's head. "Now, what books have you been reading?"

Lucy looked from side to side, not crying anymore. "Umhm...Bye mommy!" Lucy ran off back to the house.

"Erza, when are they going to wake up?" Gray was getting tiered of hearing Natsu's snoring, and he didn't want to keep thinking of what his punishment is going to be.

"Be patient Gray. If it were not for Lucy, more and more people would be going insane. Would you want that to happen?" Erza glared over at the ice-make mage.

"N-Nope!" Gray started dancing around by himself to please the ex-quip mage, who was eating a piece of strawberry cake.

Natsu started stirring on the bead. "Lucy!" Natsu jolted awake and sat up. He looked from side to side and saw that she was on the next bed over.

"Hey, flame brain, so you got a crush on Lucy?" Gray wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. His mind was still wanting to know what happened in the closet, but that will have to wait until they were both up.

"N-No! Why would you even think that?" What's this warm feeling coming to my cheeks? I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL WARM!

"Well, because you said her name when you first woke up, and the fact that YOU'RE STARING AT HER!" I'm not staring at- oh wait, I guess I am.

"I guess that means you like Juvia because you're always staring at her, ice princess."

"What did you call me, flame brain?"

"ENOUGH! You two will not fight the rest of the day or you will face the consequence." Erza had an evil aura around her, again. What is with her and evil auras today?

"A-Aye!" Natsu and Gray started hugging each other, acting like best friends so Erza won't kill them.

After they stopped hugging each other, Natsu looked back at Lucy. She didn't seem to be completely okay. Wait, why is she even asleep anyway?

"Erza?"

"Yes, Natsu?" She was now done with her cake, so she didn't mind answering the questions that she knew were going to come.

"Why is Lucy asleep? Someone didn't beat her up, did they?"

"No, Natsu, someone didn't beat her up. It was a part of the way to reverse the spell." I can't believe he doesn't realize that he likes her. I wonder what will happen when he does.

"What did you guys have to do to reverse the spell." Gray said, listening into the conversation.

"I-uhm-well..."

"Out with it!"

"Fine, Lucy had to give up the memory of the person she loves the most! Are you satisfied with that?" Erza started shaking again. She still can't believe that Lucy did that so easily. That is something that she would never be able to do.

Natsu and Gray looked at each other with their eyes wide. Not only is Lucy losing memories, Erza is shaking! What has this world come to?

"Who is the person she loves the most?" Natsu asked, still wide-eyed.

"Her mother, of course." Or let's just hope it's her mom.

"Oh, well that's not too bad, right? I mean her mom's dead, so her mom won't have to go through her daughter not knowing who she is."

"NATSU! THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Erza yelled, trying to figure out how stupid and dense he can be.

"Erza, would you quite yelling?" Everyone turned their heads to Lucy, who was now sitting up in the bed.

"LUCY!" Natsu ran and hugged her.

"Get off of me!" She pushed him off of her. She looked at him for a minuet.

"Who are you?"

Muahaha! I'm so evil! This is why Natsu beat me up, and it is so worth it! Okay, maybe not entirely, but mostly.

Oh, and where it looks like Erza's talking gibberish, it's actually Japanese. Here's what it means: 'This person here, accept thy fate. You shan't remember your dear beloved. When you wake up, your memories fade. Into the darkness, you see them no more.'

Natsu: Johny, why did it have to be me?

Me: Because...

Natsu: Tell me!

Me: I'll tell you later!

Natsu: Fine.

Me: I'm getting to used to you being around.

Natsu: Oh really? I think I'll just go back to Lucy's then.

Me: Then I won't tell you the secret!

Natsu: I'll stay. You people out there better review! Johny likes to know what you think and the question-thingy is still going on!

See 'ya later!
