Helloo! Here's a long chapter for ya!
In this chapter, there is a mentioning of the Hanami Party. This is from Fairy Tail episode 73, it's whenever the guild plays their annual bingo game and they see the rainbow sakura tree. And Natsu did the cutest thing ever for Lucy and agh, never forget! So yeah, just wanted to explain that to everyone!
And I hope I didn't make Levy too sassy, but I really like how she is in this chapter. Sassy Levy is best Levy! Please review and enjoy! [:
Lucy awoke to the sound of birds chirping and Magnolian citizens doing their morning shopping. It was a warm day; perfect to go to the guild.
The blonde took a few moments to motivate herself to get up and get ready. The female is known for taking an eternity just to get up.
She finally raised herself up from her queen sized bed and ambled her way to the bathroom to clean herself up. Her bed hair is always horrendous.
After half an hour, Lucy was ready to go. She unlocked her apartment door and headed to go outside. She was in such a good mood, nothing could ruin it. Until her landlady stepped in front of her.
"You better not forget to pay your rent," the old lady spat at Lucy.
Lucy laughed nervously and averted her eyes, "I already have the money, don't worry!"
The landlady grunted and waddled her way to the 'STAFF ONLY' door.
Lucy sped walked the rest of the way to the guild, too paranoid that the landlady was going to kidnap her and force her to pay for her rent in less than two minutes or she'd get kicked out. That was one of the few nightmares that Lucy always had, and sometimes the landlady would even be wearing her clothes. It disturbed Lucy each time.
Fairy Tail finally popped into view and Lucy's face immediately went into a smile. She hasn't seen her guildmates in a day and she already missed them dearly.
Lucy entered the guild and it was of course, lively as ever. Mirajane had her sweet smile on and she talked to everyone in the guild. Cana, already in the morning, was gulping a huge barrel of alcohol. Gajeel and Levy were having their usual lovey-dovey fight and Juvia was trying to spoon feed Gray. She glanced over at Wendy and saw Carla beside her. Also next to them was an odd looking cat. It was blue and every time it peeked at Carla, his eyes would turn into hearts.
Blue cat in the guild? Since when?
"Good morning, Lu-chan!" Levy waved at Lucy to come to her table.
"Morning, Levy-chan! And morning to you, Gajeel," Lucy nodded slightly at Gajeel. He was so huge and intimidating Lucy never knew what to do when it came to him.
"Where's Natsu? It's rare that you two aren't together," Levy questioned the situation.
Lucy tilted her head to the side, "Natsu? Who's th-"
"Morning guys!" Natsu stood next to Lucy and put his elbow on her shoulder as an arm rest.
Oh yeah. That's Natsu.
"And the famous couple have united again," Gray said as he walked over to the table. Juvia closely behind him, as always.
"Why weren't you two here yesterday?" Mirajane asked with drinks in her hands.
"They probably missed each other so much from not going home together that they didn't want to separate all day," Gray predicted.
"I would never do that! Who would ever want to hang out with this guy? Natsu and I probably have nothing in common," Lucy pointed with her thumb to the man next to her.
All her friends went silent and cocked an eyebrow at Lucy.
"Haha! You're so funny, Luce! Being mean to me won't get you anywhere, though," Natsu said quickly. "Excuse us, guys," Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and tugged her to an isolated corner of the guild.
Everyone stared at the pair walking away and Gray broke the silence, "What was that all about?"
"What are you doing?! Let go of my hand!" Lucy hissed.
"You can not and you will not let anybody know about your amnesia," Natsu commanded in a low voice.
Lucy was startled at Natsu's tone. He sounded so serious, she didn't know he had it in him.
Natsu's face was 7 inches away from Lucy's. She could smell his scent and see all the tiny lines on his face that he had gained from smiling too much.
"How am I supposed to act then? I don't know what to say about you. Were we that close? Did we have a sibling relationship? Help me here!" Lucy frantically whispered in one breath.
Natsu let go of Lucy's hand to rub the back of his neck to help him think.
"Alright. Whenever we're in the guild together, we usually never separate. Which is good so I will always be next to you to help. We don't have a sibling relationship. And we're extremely close. If they ask about us, just try to avoid it, okay?" Natsu swiftly explained.
Lucy's faced was filled with question marks.
Natsu gave a reassuring smile and patted Lucy's head, "It'll be fine. Just don't mention the amnesia and everything will be okay."
The male started walking towards his guildmates until he felt on tug on the back of his vest.
Lucy grabbed on the hem of his vest and looked at him with wide eyes, "What type of relationship did we have?"
Natsu studied Lucy's curious face and said, "Let's hope you find out sooner or later." He nodded his head toward their friends. "C'mon now, let's go."
Lucy followed Natsu back to her guildmates and they sat down on one of the wooden benches at the table.
"Did you guys kiss?" Levy winked at the two.
Lucy blushed like an idiot but laughed, "Pfft, nooo."
"You're so obvious, Lu-chan," Levy giggled. Juvia nodded behind her in agreement.
"So, you guys know what's coming up, right?" Levy asked the group happily.
"Hanami Party!" Everyone, but Lucy, cheered in unison.
"You're so enthusiastic, Lucy," Gray said sarcastically.
"Be quiet! I completely forgot about it, that's all," Lucy explained defensively.
"Well, anyway, I think we should all meet up at the rainbow tree," The bluenette planned.
"That is if the tree is there. Remember how Flame Brain completely destroyed it last year just to show his beloved Lucy while she was sick?" Gray said to the group with annoyance.
This surprised Lucy. Did that actually happen?
Lucy looked at Natsu and he was already staring at her. He gave her a small smile.
"Oi, you two. You had enough time to flirt yesterday. Eyes over here," Levy demanded.
Lucy looked back at her embarrassed.
"I got it!" You could physically see the light bulb in Levy's head light up. "We can have a triple date! Gajeel and I, Juvia and Gray, and Natsu and Lucy!"
"Oooh, I like the sound of that!" Juvia shrieked and grabbed Gray's arm tightly.
Lucy felt a heavy aura behind her and a chill raced through her spine. She slowly turned around to see a deeply hurt Erza.
"Levy.. Am I not that important?" Erza asked sadly.
"O-o-of course not!" Levy raised her hands up in the air, "You can join us as well!"
Erza's eyes turned into sparkles, "I have this outfit I have been wanting to wear for ages. It keeps calling my name each time I look through my various armors."
"Have no fear, you will be wearing it at the date!" Levy assured her.
"So it's settled. Hanami is in three days, you guys better not forget!" Levy demanded the group.
The group nodded their heads at their leader. Levy could be just as intimidating as Gajeel. Lucy glanced at Gajeel and saw Gajeel looking at Levy with loving eyes. It made Lucy's heart thump for them.
After the plans were made, everybody had separated into other groups. However, Natsu was still beside Lucy.
"Hanami, eh? Sounds fun," Lucy told Natsu while sipping a drink.
"Hopefully you don't get sick this time," Natsu chuckled. He noticed Lucy's expression and his heart fell, "You don't remember that either?" Natsu asked in disbelief.
Lucy squirmed in her seat. She felt guilty as ever. "What happened?" She asked.
Natsu was the one squirming this time, "Well. You were really sick and I couldn't help myself. I sort of dug out the huge rainbow tree and put it on a boat and sent it on the little stream by your apartment."
He did that for me?
"I bet it was beautiful," Lucy said in awe.
"Yeah, she.. I mean, it was," Natsu agreed.
The rest of the day went smoothly. Lucy had a few laughs with the guild master, she played cards with Cana (failed miserably), she bonded some more with Mirajane and Lisanna, and she was called a man by Elfman about 18 times. This day at the guild was definitely a great time.
By the time anybody had noticed, the bright stars blanketed the night sky. Everybody started to return to their homes. Lucy felt the need to yawn and she took that as a sign to go home.
She began to wave goodbye to everyone until Gray asked, "Aren't you going to wait for Flame Brain?"
Lucy had caught on that Flame Brain referred to Natsu. Although, she did forget that Natsu and her were supposed to be super super close.
"Patience, Gray. I'm waiting for him," she played it off.
Lucy called out to Natsu and told him to hurry up. Natsu instantly ran up to Lucy and started walking with her outside.
Lucy cocked and eyebrow at him and looked back at the guild, "Shouldn't you say bye to everyone?"
"Nah, they'll be fine."
"Hmmmmm," Lucy hummed.
"Hmmmmm," Natsu hummed back.
"I feel so nostalgic right now. Do we always walk home together?" Lucy inquired.
Natsu nodded quite surprised Lucy slightly remembered. "Every night. Except two nights ago."
"And that's when I lost my memory of you, huh," Lucy stopped walking to look up at the sky.
Natsu was wordless. He looked up at the sky with her.
"The stars are so lovely," Lucy admired.
She looked back down and glanced at Natsu. He was still staring at the stars. The sky reflected on his eyes; they matched his scarf.
"Your eyes match your scarf," Lucy stated.
Natsu put his head back down and looked down at Lucy with a smile, "You weirdo," he said softly.
Lucy grinned, "Stop talking about yourself."
"I just love myself too much, I can't," Natsu shrugged while laughing.
Lucy laughed just as much as Natsu did. They were probably waking up the whole town because they were so loud.
"Shhh!" Lucy tried to hush Natsu while still laughing.
The two teens had finally calmed down and Lucy decided to ask her final question.
"Hey, Natsu, who was that blue cat at the guild? I've never seen him before."
Natsu's face became serious again, "That's my cat Happy."
"Oh...," she said guiltily.
"No no, it's okay," Natsu guaranteed.
"I would have probably felt really weird if you did remember him."
"Right," Lucy said.
The rest of the walk was only silent. Lucy's amnesia made Natsu feel all sorts of things. He was still speechless that Lucy remembered everything except him. It felt like a punishment.
Lucy arrived at her house and faced Natsu, "Well, I'll see you later then?"
"I will get your memory back," Natsu said.
"Huh?" Lucy asked.
"I don't know how.. But I will get it back. No matter what. I will make you remember me and all the things we've done together. Everything."
Lucy felt tongue-tied. All she could muster was, "Good luck?"
Natsu roared with laughter, "You're so weird, Luce. And thanks, I need that luck. Goodnight!"
He smiled at the blonde and turned and began walking away.
Lucy stared at the tall male for a while. She was going to try, too. She wanted to remember everything about Natsu. She wanted to know what adventures they had, what they talked about, what they did everyday, and how they became best friends. She didn't know how she was going to try, but she would figure it out.
She just wanted to remember Natsu.
