Hi! I am so lucky to have people like you reading my story! You all are so awesome! Sad to say, you all may hate me by the end of this chapter. I'm sorry!

I'll answer my question now!

AllieCat645- I don't really know. Maybe I would be a Celestial Mage because I just love all the spirits and I would be able to have some really great friends.

Natsu: Can I eat your giant chocolate bar?

Me: NO!

Natsu: Ops?

Me: NATSU!

Well, I should get back to the story now, don't 'ya think?

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


Recap:

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."


"Lucy!" Natsu yelled as he looked at the girl who was now not awake. She had remembered him! Yet at the same time, it caused her more pain. He didn't know whether to be excited, or sad. If it would always cause her this much pain, would he even let himself be around her that much anymore.

He knelt down and picked her up. She was still in so much pain, that much you could tell just by looking at her. Her face was scrunched up, making the Dragon Slayer's heart ache. He walked over to her bed, and laid her down carefully, trying not to cause her anymore pain. It was hard to see her like this. Anyone would agree on that.

When he laid her down, something broke within him. It was like a caged animal- no, something even worse and stronger than an animal- broke free from its confinement. It was wild, stronger than him. He had no control. It was also painful- yes, very painful. It was like being stabbed by one of Erza's swords one thousand times over. His mind was clouded and dark. This sensation was unfamiliar, yet familiar at the same time. It felt like someone is hitting a sludge hammer against his head trying to break it, even though it won't even budge. It hurt like crazy. But, Natsu thought, through darkness that was slowly engulfing his mind. This has to be nothing compared to what Lucy's feeling. He grabbed his head, trying to find a way to ease the pain and not show weakness. He didn't want to make what he was going through seem worse than Lucy. He looked up. Apparently, he had fallen onto the ground a while ago. He saw Gray rush over to the bed. Faintly, he heard the sound of Lucy screaming, though, it was over powered by another scream. His scream. What is going on? I should be able to help Lucy!

Gray looked back and forth between his two friends, who were both screaming so loud that Gray had to cover his ears in attempt to block them out. He had no clue what was happening now. First, when he had successfully gotten Lucy's memory back, she had started screaming and passed out. Now, Natsu is doing the same thing, except he is still awake. What is going on here? Gray thought. For he had no knowledge of what happens when the spell is braking.

He made a quick decision to take them both to the guild and see if Wendy was still there to take a look at them. He went over to Natsu, who was still trying to hide the fact that he was in almost unbearable pain.

"Sorry Natsu, but this time you can't help." He picked Natsu up by the collar of his vest, and before he could protest, or start to scream again, he punched him in the gut to knock him out. Then he slung him over his shoulder. Now he walked over to the bed and picked Lucy bridal-style. He started for the door when it swung open.


Erza was standing in the doorway looking worried. Well, she was worried, truth be told. At the guild, they had heard screams coming from this direction, and they had a feeling something had happened. What Erza had not expected, however, to hear Lucy's scream intermixed with a male scream on her way here.

She looked at Gray, who held two lifeless bodies. The one in his arms being Lucy, and the one draped over his should was Natsu.

"Gray, did someone attack?" Erza started looking around for the imaginary intruders.

If Gray could've face palmed then, he would've. "That's not what happened, Erza. But, I don't have time to explain. We need to get them to Wendy NOW!" Erza knew he was serious, and although she wanted answers now, that would have to wait. Their friends' safety is more important right now. She took Natsu and carried him out of the apartment. Gray followed shortly after.


After about a few minuets of running, they finally stumbled upon the guild. Erza kicked open the doors, and they swung open. Her eyes scanned over the guild looking for the young Dragon Slayer.

When her eyes spotted her, Erza yelled "Wendy, we need your help." Wendy nodded in agreement and walked with them to the infirmary, along with Master Makarov. Gray and Erza set the two onto the beds that were provided and Wendy got to work on healing them.

"Gray," Erza turned to the man was now only in his boxers. "First, your cloths." He let out a yell and ran around trying to find his missing cloths. When he returned fully clothed, Erza continued. "Second, what happened?"

Gray told the story of what had happened just minuets before, and Erza looked furious. She had her sword out and pointed it to his throat.

"When did you figure out that maybe the letters would trigger her memories?" She wanted to know. She needed to know. Why would he keep this information from her?

Gray thought back to when he was running to the guild to tell them that she also forgot her mom. He had been thinking about what might trigger her memory for both of them at the same time. Then the idea of showing her the letters had formed in his mind. He brushed it of to the side then, but when they were in the apartment, it came back and he figured why not? He hadn't expected this to happen.

"Um," Gray scratched the back of his head. "When we were in the apartment?"

"It's a good thing you did." Master Makarov finally spoke. He had been silently observing everything that has happened up until this point, and he thinks they need an explanation.

"How?" Erza lowered her sword and sent it back.

"In this spell, there are many different things that could go wrong. In our case, if you want them to remember that person or people, you have to find a way to trigger their memory before a certain amount of time. If he hadn't done that and waited until morning to follow through with the plan, she wouldn't have been able to remember." Master knew what question would come next.

"What about Natsu? Why did the same thing happen to him?" Gray asked, still confused on that part.

"Since he had been insane, and he had been one of those who she had forgotten, and maybe a little bit of it had to do with him being a Dragon Slayer. Anyway, with all of these things, some of the things Lucy is going through, he is going through too. But, of course, not near as much. This is because part of the spell has to do with the connection the two have, and apparently, they have a very strong one." Master Makarov knew they would all figure that out someday, if they hadn't already. He also knew that the two on the beds needed a large dose of Mira's meddling, but he would never come right out and say that.

"What does him being a Dragon Slayer have to do with anything?" Erza and Gray said at the same time, really not knowing the depths of this spell. What all did Master know and is not telling them?

"That, my children, you have to figure out yourselves. What kind of father would I be if I told you all the answers? Also, you are not allowed to tell those two about the connection."

"Why?" Erza, Gray, and even Wendy said.

"Because when Lucy wakes up, she will think the whole thing was a dream. If you tell her, this will happen all over again, maybe even worse. Don't tell Natsu either, he might open his big mouth and tell Lucy."

"Okay then, we will not tell. But will you please enlighten us on the Dragon Slayer part?" Erza said, more like a command than a question.

"No, I won't." With that, he jumped off the chair he was sitting on and ran out the door.

"Don't worry Erza, I don't think it's that important if he's not telling us." Wendy said, beads of sweat appearing on her head. She was done working with Lucy for now and started working on Natsu.

"Maybe we can ask Gajeel, he knows more about Dragon Slayers than the rest of us." Gray suggested.

"I'm not telling you!" Gajeel yelled across the guild. He had been eavesdropping because he wanted to know what was happening with Bunny Girl. She was like a little sister to him, though he'd never admit it. That's why he calls her 'Bunny Girl', well, that's one reason.

Right then, Natsu started screaming again. He couldn't help it though. The pain has been growing and it moved to his chest, making hard to breath. He doesn't even know how he's screaming. It feels like his chest is going to explode. No matter how much he tries to suppress it, it just keeps growing.

"Wendy! What's wrong with Natsu!" Erza rushed over to Wendy, who was still in the middle of working.

"I'm guessing that since he's only going through some of the things, the spell is moving faster in him and it's already reached his chest. Therefore, making it harder to breath." Wendy was doing all she could to help him, but it wasn't working very well.

"If it hurts him this bad, what will happen to Lucy?" Erza thought aloud. Natsu normally never showed any weakness, aside from transportation, and he's only going part of what Lucy's going through.

After a few minuets, the screaming died out, only to be replaced by Lucy's screams. It took about a half hour just to stabilize her. Wendy had to take a break after that. Erza and Gray had fallen asleep, against their will. Who could blame them though? They've been running around the whole day, trying to figure out what's going to happen next.

They were awoken when they heard a high pitched scream. Wendy was pale faced and screaming.

"What's wrong Wendy?" Gray said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Wendy started to cry while she was working on Natsu.

"Natsu's heart stopped."
