nalu (Fairy tail fanfiction)The Search For The Dragon Key

Distant

It was a sunny day in Magnolia with our favorite Guild Fairy Tail stands at the edge of town overlooking the ocean. At Fairy Tail, the Guild members are having a party for the resurrection of the Fairy Tail! Everybody was having a blast, well all except our Celestial spirit mage it's not like she wasn't happy that her family was back she was! It's just she's afraid of them leaving her all alone like last year. 

She still hasn't told anybody about Aquarius's key being broken. So right now she at the bar watching Natsu having a fight with Grey about who's the strongest, only to end up being knocked down by Erza when they got to close to her cake. Lucy was so deep in thought she didn't notice that Mira was trying to get her attention.

Lucy snapped out her thoughts when she felt someone shaking her shoulder so she turned to see who it was and saw that it was Mira. Lucy sent her a smile and asked what's up Mira need something?" Mira sent a sweet smile back and asked" Oh! I don't need anything! I'm just wondering why your not with your team? and you seem a little down is anything wrong?" Lucy shook her head thinking 'Nobody needs to know about my problems at the moment we just got the Guild back together after all.' giving the BarMaid a kind smile.

  With a sigh, she said" it's nothing just tired that's all." Mira didn't believe her one bit because the past few months since the guild got back together Lucy has been very distant from them always making excuses.

 Like when Levy asked her to go book shopping with her Lucy said"I need to go food shopping! Or I'm a little tired maybe some other time?" She has even been going on solo missions on her own without telling anybody not even Natsu! the only reason how Mira found out was that the Master asked her if Lucy came back from her mission yet two months ago.

Since then Mira has been keeping a close eye on her not letting her out of her sight, soon as Lucy leaves she was going to ask Natsu what's wrong and if he didn't tell well... she did have her own ways of getting him to talk. 

Lucy got up from her seat brushing off imaginary dust from her skirt as she and said" Well I'm going to the Guilds library for a bit see you later Mira!" waving goodbye as she left, Mira just smiled and watched her leave, until she knew that she was out hearing range. When she was out of sight Mira looked over to Natsu and said" Oooooooh Natsu~~~~ can you be a doll and come here for a sec~~~~?" Natsu stopped what he was doing( which was him about to hit Grey in the head.) and went to Mira while looking around the room for his partner but didn't see her around. 

When he got to the bar he sat down in a seat in front of the white-haired mage and asked" what ya need Mira?" Mira smiled at him while wiping down glasses and giggled" Oh nothing special, just wondering why Lucy has been acting distant for a while do know anything Natsu?" Looked at her strangely like she was little crazy and replied" Ummmmmm Luce hasn't been distant she the same old weirdo she ever was why you ask?." Mira sweat dropped as she thought 'Hasn't he noticed that she's not acting the same? Yeah, she's still sweet and doesn't mind talking and all. But she's acting like she doesn't want to get to close to us.' 

She cleared her throat and preparing to tell what he was going to really hate but also get him to see how distant Lucy has been. Mira took a breath and said" Okay she acts the same but she's hardly talking to anybody anymore and is always by herself! she's even been taking solo missions for the past two and a half month's now!" Natsu stilled at this, his face was blank and Mira could start to feel the air around her start to warm up.

 Natsu looked her dead in the eye reflected  the fire in his own and asked" What, are you serious?" Mira nodded her head as she explained" She has but I don't know why it seems like she trying to keep her self away from us. Like the other day she even put down Levy's offer to go shopping, because she was "busy" but all she did was spend the entire day in the Guild's library but I don't know why..." Natsu Nodded his head and stood up from his seat and went towards the Guild's library wanting to seek answer's from his partner.
