Hey guys! I'm not really gonna be on until Thursday because of mid-terms, so just warning you!

MsSlicingClaws asked me if I take requests, I never really thought of it, so I'll give it a try! Just PM me what you want, and I'll see if I can make it work!

Natsu: Can I lite your hair on fire?

Me: NO! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT?

Natsu: Because you told me to try to be polite or you were going to get Erza after me!

Me: *face palm* Natsu, asking to burn people's hair is not polite.

Natsu: IT ISN'T? I feel kinda bad for your brother now.

Me: Let's get back to the story before I kill Natsu!

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

Recap:

"You know Lucy, everyone thought you were going to forget your mom, not Natsu."

Lucy didn't say anything for the next few minuets. When she did...

"Gray."

"What?"

"Who's my mom?"

Chapter 7

Gray looked at Lucy, dumbfounded. Well, this is a twist. Gray thought. Not only did she forget Natsu, but she forgot her mom, too. What kind of spell is this?

"Gray, would you quite staring at me?" Lucy asked, seeing as the ice-make mage was doing this for about a minuet now. She didn't understand what was so wrong about asking who your mother is, so what was the big deal?

"Oh, um sorry." Gray turned his glance over to the side. "So you don't know who your mom is?"

"Why would I ask you who my mom is if I already knew?" She has a point there.

"I don't know. Lucy, you just stay there while I go talk to Erza about...something." Gray ran out the door, leaving a confused Lucy behind. First there's this random guy I don't even know claiming to be my best friend. Now Gray won't tell me who my mom is and ran out the door to talk to Erza about something. I wonder what they're going to talk about?

Lucy sighed and laid back down. If she was going to have to wait she might as well try to kill this massive headache.

"What is taking Gray so long?" Erza was pacing back and forth, with her sword drawn. There was no way Lucy could have slept that long, so something else has to be going on.

Natsu was at one of the guild tables. He had gotten back before the rest of them. He was lying down on the bench, thinking about one thing: Lucy. Why did his best friend forget him and what did that spell do? He would ask Erza, but he was afraid too because first of all, she was pacing back and forth with her sword out, and second, he had already asked her once and the redhead did not like to repeat herself. Especially after what ever the spell was took an emotional toll on her.

After about a minuet or so, Erza spoke up again. "Okay, I'm going after him!" Erza started walking up to the guild doors, when they swung open. There stood a panting Gray, with no shirt on.

Once he had regained his posture, Erza held the tip of her sword to his jugular. "Why did it take you so long to get back?" Erza, yet again, had a murderous aura around her.

"Erza," Gray started. "Lucy didn't just forget Natsu."

"Erza put her sword down. "What do you mean?"

"She also forgot her mom."

Erza's eyes widened. Well, we can honestly say she had no clue that this was going to happen. She thought back to what the older man had told her.

"If she is a loving person, she might love two people the same amount. If this happens though, one of the people she forgets, she will remember somethings about one of them. The one she remembers somethings about, is the one she loves just a little less. Not enough to make somewhat of a difference, but just a little less.

"Gray, Natsu!" Both of them were looking at her now. "We're going to Lucy's." Before either of them could object, Erza had grabbed them both and started dragging them to Lucy's.

"Luce, wake up." Natsu started poking the celestial mage's shoulder. He wasn't sure that he should be the one to wake her up, but Erza made him.

Lucy moaned and her eyes opened. "LUCY KICK!" She yelled and kicked Natsu into the wall.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" She was up on her feet with her hands on her keys, as if she were going into battle.

"Lucy, don't hurt him. He doesn't want to hurt you." Erza walked up to Lucy and put a hand on her shoulder.

"But why is he in my house? I've never seen him before." Gray looked at Lucy, dumbfounded again, while Erza knew perfectly well what was going on. The spell kept erasing any and all memories of him.

"He's just a friend of our's. Now, Lucy, be nice to him." Erza was going to have to take this slow with Lucy with the spell. But who wouldn't try to kill someone who just randomly appeared in your house and you don't even know them?

"Fine. But what is his name?"

"My name's Natsu." He flashed his signature grin at her, trying to keep himself together.

"Lucy." She started. "So, why are you guys here anyways?"

"We just wanted to know what all you know about your mom." Erza stated bluntly. It seems like she can't remember anything about Natsu, so maybe she remembers something about her mom. If that is the case, they would have to start working with her to remember her mom before they start on Natsu.

"All I know is that she had blonde hair and she died the day the dragons disappeared." Lucy was getting suspicious. Why are they asking me about my mom? Does this ma-Natsu, have anything to do with her?

"Are you sure that's all you know Lucy?" Gray spoke up. Whatever Erza was doing, he'd help her if it meant that his blonde friend could remember her mom and Natsu.

"Yes, I'm sure. Why are you asking anyway?" Lucy was going to get an answer as to why they're asking.

"Because, we just wanted to know what your mom was like, seeing as you don't really even talk to your dad." Erza knew she couldn't tell Lucy about the spell, because it might set her off again. No, what she needed to do was think of a way to get her friend to remember her mom.

"Oh, okay. But why did you bring him then?" She was pointing at Natsu, who was lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling for the second time that day. He has been thinking a lot, more than what he usually does. His mind was just thinking about the same things, and he was getting annoyed. Yes, he wanted to help her, but his mind was just getting in the way.

"He joined the guild and we wanted him to meet you. Let's go to the guild now." Erza turned and walked out the door, with the three other mages following her. Now that Lucy knows he's in the guild, for now, she won't hurt him.

They all walked into the guild. Lucy went to her usually place at the bar while Erza, Gray, and Natsu all sat at the table farthest away from the bar. They didn't need Lucy to discover their plans. Not yet, anyway.

"Alright, seeing as she keeps forgetting Natsu, we should start with trying to get her to remember her mother first. Any ideas on how we will do this?" If those two didn't have any ideas, Erza was going to take the problem up with the master. He would surely know what to do.

"Maybe we could take her back to the Heartfilla mansion and see if that brings back any memories." Gray suggested.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Erza slammed her hand into her head and kept thinking Idiot over and over again.

"We'll head out in the morning." Natsu said, and walked out of the guild, not caring if the redheaded demon, also known as Erza, tries to kill him in the morning. He just had to space himself for everyone, even Happy, who was spending the whole week at Wendy and Charla's place.

"I guess I should have suspected Natsu to react this way. Although, I am surprized that he hasn't gone a on a rampage yet." Erza was starting to get worried about him. He hasn't even called Gray a stripper for a while! This just gives me all the more reason to help Lucy remember. If I don't, we might never have the Natsu we know back!

"Well, I'm going to talk to Lucy and Mira." Gray walked over to the bar and sat on Lucy's left side.

"So, what are you two talking about?"

"Nothing." Lucy and Mira said at the same time and looked away while whistling. What are those two talking about?

"Aw, come on, you know you can trust me." He put on his best 'innocent' face when Lucy looked at him and she started to laugh.

"What?"

"You should have seen your face! You looked so weird!" Lucy finally said after laughing for a while. She hadn't seen a face that funny since-well, she didn't know when.

"My face isn't weird! Okay, now you have to tell me what you and Mira were talking about." That should teach her not to laugh at me!

Lucy had a light pink blush on her face. "W-W-Well, y-you see-"

"She said that Natsu looked kinda cute." Mira said with hearts in her eyes.

"Wow, so someone's got a little crush." Time to tease Lucy, since Natsu isn't around to yell at me.

"W-What? I-I don't know what you're talking about." Lucy crossed her arms over her chest and looked away. Mira, I'm going to get you for this!

"Come on Lucy, we all know that you thinking 'He is so dreamy!'" Gray had his hands clasped together, his head was tilted to the side, and he was talking with a girly voice. Lucy's face got as red as Erza's hair. Gray fell onto the floor laughing. I think teasing her is my new favorite pass time.

"Okay, I'm going home. Good night Mira!"

"You know I have to come with you, right?" Gray asked after he was done laughing.

"Why?"

"Erza said that I have to watch over you for a while."

"Oh. Well let's go then." Is Erza trying to be a matchmaker now? They got out of their seats and walked out of the guild.

"Gray, if you peep at me while I'm in the shower, you will not live to see daylight. Understood?" Lucy was giving him an evil glare, while she had an evil aura surrounding her.

"Aye!" Gray said and turned to go into her bedroom. He sat down at her desk and started reading her novel. He wouldn't tell her, but she was pretty good at writing. If he did tell her, she would know he read her novel and he would be dead.

Lucy walked out of her bathroom, fully clothed and ready to go to bed. She didn't want to give Gray even a tiny bit of hope in peeping. When she got into her bedroom, Gray was sitting on the couch, looking out the window.

He had stopped reading her novel in case she came out of the bathroom. Lucy sat down at her desk and wrote some more in her book. When she was done, it felt like she was forgetting something, and it must have been written on her face too.

"Lucy, are you okay?" Gray asked, hoping it didn't have anything to do with flame brain.

"It just feels like I'm forgetting to do something, that's all." She said this while staring at a box on one of her dressers. She couldn't even remember what was in it!

Gray knew what she was forgetting: writing a letter to her mom. he also knew that in about five seconds, she was going to ask him what was in the box on top of her dresser. Easy, the letters to her mom. He wasn't going to tell her that.

"Hey Gray, do you know what's in that box?" she pointed to the box that she had been staring at, the one with all the letters.

"I don't know." He lied. "Let's see what's in it." They both stood up and walked over to box. Lucy took off its lid and looked at its contents. Surely enough, there were all the letters she wrote to her mom, just waiting to be read.

She picked up one the letters and only read two words: Dear Mom,.

"These are to...my mom?" Lucy was suddenly filled with interest. When had she written all these letters? This letter said:

Dear Mom,

Today was the Rainbow Sakura festival. The only thing that went wrong was that I was sick. I really wanted to go but couldn't. But Natsu and Happy dug up a Rainbow Sakura tree and sent it down the river by my apartment. I can't believe Natsu did that! He is a really great friend, who will protect his nakama at all costs. I wish you could have met him, because I think you two would get along fine, even with him accidentally destroying things all the time. He's really childish but determined. I'm really glad that I met him. Hope to see you soon.

Love,

Lucy

Tears were streaming down her face. How did she forget Natsu and her mom? That's when the pain hit. It was worse than last time. Way worse. She gripped her head and started screaming because of the pain. It overwhelmed her. She had never felt anything like this in her life, which was saying something. She screamed again and fell to the floor, trying to sort out her head and block out the pain. It wasn't working very well.

Natsu was walking along the river by Lucy's apartment when he smelt it: salt and water, mixed. It was coming from Lucy's house, too! He started running to get to the house when he heard her screaming. What is wrong? She screamed again. He jumped onto the edge of her window, which was open, and went in. He saw Lucy on the floor, holding her head and screaming. He winced. He couldn't stand to see Lucy, of all people, in pain and screaming.

He looked around her room and saw Gray standing right besides her. He had a shocked look on his face while he was trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

"Lucy, What's wrong?" Natsu and Gray said at the same time. Gray looked up to see that Natsu was in the room, too. He had probably heard her screaming and came to see what it was. That was okay, because Gray had no clue what was going on or what to do. He had a feeling it was her mind fighting with itself again, only this time, it was worse because it had to do with both Natsu and her mom.

Lucy's head is searing with pain, but when she heard two voices, she looked up. She saw Gray and Natsu standing over her. They both had worried looks on their faces, and she couldn't blame them, after all, she is on the ground screaming her head off.

She tried to speak, but she couldn't. She was quickly being pulled into unconsciousness. Before she fell asleep, however, she managed to say one word.

"Natsu."

Did you guys like the little conversation between Gray, Lucy, and Mira? I thought that they kinda needed a break from the main story line after Nastu's abrupt exit.

Natsu: What does 'abrupt' mean?

Me: Look it up in the dictionary, Natsu!

Natsu: *scratches back of head* I, well, um, kinda burned it.

Me: NASTU! STOP BURNING EVERYTHING IN MY HOUSE!

Natsu: A-Aye!

Me: Good. Now, please review and ask a question and PM me a request!

Bye!
