Lucy walked next to Natsu, Happy flying right above both their heads. Lucy had her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking the opposite way of Natsu. The fire mage had realized the anger on his best friend's face and noticed how she hadn't turned to look at him once since they left her apartment.

"Luce, are you still mad?" Natsu asked, sadness slowly revealing on his face.

"Yes!" Lucy raised her voice, sounding furious. "You barged in like nothing! Couldn't you have knocked!?" The celestial mage couldn't bare to look at him. The way he had ran into her house had really irritated her. That moment wouldn't leave her head.

Happy looked down at the two, then flew down just enough to be right next to Lucy so she was in between both the cat and the fire mage.

"Lucy, we've always broke in your house. Why does it bother you now?" The cat tried to help out his best friend who now seemed even more sad than before.

"Because I was conversating with Sting," Lucy uncrossed her arms setting them on each side of her, her hands now turned into fists and turned to Natsu to continue yelling, but still answering Happy's question. "And he barged in and interrupted us!!"

Happy slowed down until he was flying in place making both Lucy and Natsu stop walking and turned around to look at him wondering why he stopped.

"You looooovvvveeee Sting, don't you?" The blue cat asked, covering his mouth as evil giggles escaped his mouth.

Lucy's blushed super dark red as she was about to scream,"I-I do not!" The young, blonde stuttered facing Happy as her cheeks blushed more and more as what the cat just said ran through her head. Natsu tried not to look depressed, but failed miserably. He turned around to face the direction the train station is and began to walk once again, his head lowered. Happy and Lucy both paused then turned to look at Natsu, noticing that he began to walk. Lucy's cheeks her back to her usual skin tone and Happy had stopped giggling. They both caught up to Natsu who completely ignore them.

"Natsu, what's wrong? You've been oddly quiet since we've left my apartment. You never get this quiet when I get mad."

"It's nothing.." The words slipped out of Natsu's lips as a mumble, so Lucy was unable to understand.

"Huh?" She questioned him, keeping her eye on him.

Natsu pretended to begin to have motion sickness then looked at Lucy. "I'm just feeling sick thinking about getting on the train."

Lucy saw past Natsu's lies, but played along anyway. "Come Natsu, we've been through this so many times!"

The three friends continued to walk until they arrived at the train station and boarded the train. In the middle of the train ride, Happy's stomach grumbled. Natsu was asleep, Lucy was looking out the window until she heard Happy's stomach and turned to look at him place his paws over his stomach and look at down at it then look up at Lucy.

"Let's get fi-"

"We'll stop at a restaurant to eat." Lucy cut him off and answered him like if she read his mind. She glanced a quick smile then turned back to look out the window and waited until their stop came.

Once their stop came, Happy woke up Natsu and both him and Lucy helped Natsu off the train. Once they were off, they walked towards a restaurant they immediately found.

They got a seat and Lucy paid for their food. Natsu began to eat like crazy as always, Lucy didn't eat much, but Happy was chewing on a fish.

"Hy Lshy," Happy muffled his words as he chewed the piece of fish he had bitten off. Lucy was just barely able to understand what he had said.

"Hm?" She looked at him in curiosity.

Happy swallowed the piece of fish, then began to talk, "Are you and Sting dating?"

Lucy sat motionless in shock. 'Nosey' Lucy thought regaining focus, then answered Happy. "Yes, I am. Why?"

Natsu began to eat slower the moment Sting's name was mentioned.

"Oooooo, you looooovvveeee him!" The blue cat began to tease the young blonde making her blush a dark shade of red.

The young wizard felt slightly fed up with his teasing and began to yell at him, "Shut up, you damn cat!"

Natsu was also fed up. He had stopped eating and just listened to his best friends' conversation. He listened careful as Happy continued to tease Lucy until he decided he had enough. His hands turned into fists and he slammed both of them on the table standing up. Both Lucy and Happy became quiet the slamming on the table. They turned to look at Natsu, who's head stayed facing down at the table, his fists still on the table.

"Natsu, what's wr-" Lucy began to wonder what was going on with Natsu.

Instead of answering, the fire mage slid out of his seat, and turned around heading out the door, ignoring Lucy. Lucy watched as he walked out in shock, while Happy watched, a fish in his mouth once again. Natsu placed his palm on the door, trying to control his flames before they burn the door down and pushes the door open stepping out.

"Natsu...?" Lucy mumbled, her face revealing concern and a bit of sadness. She turned to look at Happy who looked back at her and shrugged. She stood up from her seat paying for the food as Happy finished his last piece of fish. Lucy grabbed Happy wrapping her arms around him to hug him and carried him as she walked out of the restaurant. 

She quickly looked around only to find that Natsu had gone far in the short time that he was alone. "We need to find Natsu and figure out what's wrong with him. Do you know where he could've gone?" Lucy's eyes continued to scan around her looking for Natsu or any clues that could lead to where he could've gone. 

Happy shrugged and looked around. They looked around until they booth heard crashing sounds in the forest. 

"Natsu."
