No music for this chapter, couldn't really think of one to suit the tone. But enjoy the subtle (and kinda funny) moment between yourself and our favourite Dragon :))

---(Y/N)'S POV---

I feel the floor graze my elbows, Natsu's grumbling echoing through my ears. I started to panic, no longer thinking of any plans. That was my weakness-when I panic, I don't think.

I hear Natsu call my name, snapping me out of my trance, he reaches over and grabs my face, "Pull yourself together!"

Startled, I stare deeply into his intense gaze. "You're smart, I know you can think of a way to get us out of here."

The shadows illuminate Natsu's face as I glance around, avoiding his eye gaze, he was right. I could think of a way to get out of here, one of my arms were free while the other was submerged into the sinking tiles floor.

That's it!

"I've got it," I praise aloud seeing Natsu's contagious smile. I laugh to myself, "Why didn't I think of this before? I won't even use a lot of magic power with a spell as easy as this."

My hand glows a mossy green as Lucy stops squirming and watches on, "Please don't throw me again," she pleads. I tsk and roll my eyes, "Don't worry that's not what this is for."

I place my palm flat on the ground watching the rippling floor stop its movements, using my Earth magic to solidify and counter the spell. The ground became solid rock surrounding Natsu and myself. His laugh making me giggle to myself, "Told you."

"Oh be quiet," I giggle, wriggling myself out of the confinements. I grab hold of Natsu's wrist and hoist him out without any excess strength. Once he was released I felt unbalanced as I toppled backwards landing on my bum, my grip still on Natsu as he stumbled forward.

I feel Natsu's face against me, I look down seeing him frozen on the spot from where his face was hidden between my chest. My cheeks redden, my skin boils as I slap him across the face startled, "Perv!"

He rolls off me and holds his cheek, "Ow what was that for?!"

He continues to rub his cheek, subsiding away the pain as I notice Lucy stuck underneath Byro in his octopus form. The change in the floor's surface must've made him roll over, and the wall to tumble down. Lucy sweat drops and reaches out a free hand to me, "Hey (Y/N), I suppose you could maybe use that Super Strength of yours to get me out?"

I scratch the back of my neck with an apologetic smile drawn on my face, "Sorry Luce, using my abilities in this world uses up a lot of my magic power and I need some left for what's to come." I apologise calmly, noticing Lucy puff out her cheeks in annoyance. I glance over at Coco shyly hidden in the shadows, "I'm sure Coco can help pull you out?" I suggest.

Coco emerges, nodding her head in determination, "I'll try." She approaches Lucy as I explain my course of direction to Lucy. "Natsu and I'll go on ahead and see if we can catch up with Gray, right Natsu?" I turn around no longer seeing the pink hair and white scarf behind me.

I raise my eyebrows in concern, I looked away from him for not even a minute! Geez!

My immense hearing picks up a certain fired up Dragon Slayer screaming the name of the Ice wizard down the corridor. "Ah great he's already run off, the idiot! Natsu wait up!"

I run off leaving Lucy and Coco behind in the park as the soft purple carpet draping this corridor slides against my shoes. I catch up to Natsu seeing his spiky pink locks beside Gray.
