Not so different anymore(book 2 of the 'different' series)

Waking up

-Lucy's pov-

Sting and I walk to the car that has always been in our driveway. "You learned how to drive?" He nods, unlocking the small car. "Did you think I would never learn how?" We both get in, making sure we didn't hit our heads on the low ceiling of the car. "Honestly, yes. You said you always liked walking more," I say, putting on my seatbelt. "Well, we can't walk form the hospital." He jokes making me chuckle.

"True. Who taught you?" I asks as he turns on the engine. "Your future father in law," he responds, driving out of the hospital parking lot. "Who?........ HEY!" I smack his shoulder, "I'm just playing! Stop hitting me!" He shouts, laughing a little as I continue to hit him. "No!" He puts one hand up trying to grab my hand "No, Lucy, for real! You're going to make me crash!" He jokes as I stop, both of us laughing. "I'll give you a week until you need to go to school again." I groan at the mention of school, "Can't you give me a whole year?" I ask exasperated. "As if. If I suffer you suffer, too." I cross my arms over my chest, pouting. "Aww is little Lucy mad?" He asks in a baby voice. "Yes," I reply, looking out the window, hiding a smile.

"You wanna smile? Come on smile!" He stops at a red light. Making this his chance, he goes for my stomach, and starts to tickle me. I gasp a little before stifling the fit of giggles that are threatening to come out. "S-Sting.... s-stop!" I plead, squirming, trying to make him stop. He makes sure one hand is on the wheel while the other tickles my stomach. "I'll... I'll do anything!" He stops tickling me, "Anything?" playful smirk on his face, raising an eyebrow. "No! Forget I said anything!" He shrugs before tickling me again. "Stop!.... Look.. t-the light.." He stops. He looks at the green light, and starts to drive. "We're going to continue this tickle fight at home." We stay silent for a little before going into a small fit of laughter.

-Sting's pov-

I park in front of our house. We get off, and go inside. She runs to her room before I could tickle her again. Chuckling, I sit on the couch. She's going to have to come out at some point. I start to think about what Levy told me....

"Sting"

"What?"

"Hang out with Lucy more.... You know how she had a 'nightmare' while she was in the coma?"

"Yeah, she was going to tell me about it."

"No she wasn't. She didn't want you to worry."

"Why would I worry? It was just a nightmare, right?"

"Well, it was more than that, she thought.... She thought she lost you.... If you could see... How... How she started.."

"Maybe you should sit down"

"..... Thanks. It's just how she was telling us. She was sobbing..."

"...... She thought I died?"

"Mhm, that's why when she saw you she was so surprised and happy. Please just hang out with her more. I don't want my Lu-chan feeling depressed anymore."

"Ok, I will."

"But don't tell her I told you. Act like you don't even know, kay?"

"Ok."

I shudder at the thought of leaving Lucy. I can practically feel how bad she must've felt during that dream. I look over at her closed room door, smiling slightly. I get up and walk over to her door. I knock, "Lucy? Open the door."

"No."

"Please?"

"No, you're going to tickle me." I smirk, "No I'm not, I just want to spend time with you," she peeks out, only her eyes showing. "Really?"

"No," I fully open the door as she runs to her bed trying to hide under the sheets. I crawl on the bed, semi-take off the sheets, and tickle her sides. "Why... do.... you... keep...tickling me!?" She laughs, trying to take off my hands from her sides. "What else I'm I suppose to do?" I stop letting her catch her breath,"Maybe let me rest? I'm tired," she complains, getting the blankets and covering herself. "But that's boring!" I hold out the 'ing' in boring. "That's not my problem! Let me sleep, please," she peeks out of the blanket. "Ugh, fineeeeee," I hold out the 'E'. I get out of the tangled sheets and walk out the door.

-Lucy's pov-

After Sting leaves I stare at the ceiling, thinking about the dream I had. All of it. I look at my right hand, the tattoo is gone. So it really was all just a dream.... An idea comes to my mind. I get out of bed and go to my closet. I open it and look for a small box. I reach on my tip toes for the small cardboard box. Once I get it, I bring it to the floor, and open it. I smile as I pick up the small doll. "Virgo..." I put her gently on the floor before getting the others out. "Lucy!" Sting calls for me. I groan as I get up and go out of my room. "Lucy!"

"Yukino?" She runs up to me and hugs-slash-chokes me. "Yukino...I-I can't breathe!" She lets go, squealing "Ahhh! We have so much to talk about! Sting is it ok if I hang out with Lucy first?" Sting shrugs, "Sure, but then let's all go eat somewhere, ok?" Yukino and I nod before she pushes me to me room, closing the door, too. "So, how you feeling?"

"Meh, Sting didn't let me sleep." She gasp, pointing at my dolls, "You have those!? I have two! Well, three.." She quickly sits on the floor, grabbing Aries. "You practically have all 12! Did you hear? They're coming out with the 'eclipse' series! Oh wait, you were asleep..." I shake me head as I also sit down. "I lost Aquarius at the park a long time ago..."

"Aquarius? I think I might have yours. I found an Aquarius in at the park a long time ago." She has a smile on her face, still holding Aries. "I..... but.... how?" I hug her, on the brim of tears. She hugs me back asking, "If you want I can bring her tomorrow?" 

"Yes, please," I let go, looking at the dolls. "Which ones do you have?"

"Libra and Pisces."

"Oh, so I had a dream while I was in the coma," I tell her, getting Leo out. "What was it about?" She makes Aries look at Leo and attempts to make Aries blow a kiss to Leo, but fails. "Haha... It was complicated, and.... let's just say... depressing?" I chuckle as she takes Leo away from me and makes him kiss Aries. "I ship it." Yukino continues to push their faces together making me laugh. "How was it depressing?" She puts the dolls down to look at me. "Well... It kinda was... let me explain. Long story short, I thought Sting died I got extremely depressed, I had a twin brother, you were in love with Sting-"

"What!?" Her face goes extremely red as she tries to cover her face up. "Yeah, I imagine you like him in real life, too. Ok let me continue, I got some tattoos , I made an online friend, I almost ran away with Natsu, and I met his very judgmental Grandma." I finish, getting Gemini and playing with their small hands. "I don't like Sting!"

"Your blushing face says otherwise," I reply, slight smirk on my face. "Stop it Lucy!"

"LUCY!" I cover my ears form Sting's loud voice. "WHAT!?"

"CAN WE GO EAT NOW!?"

"FINE!"
