"Lucy.."
"Natsu.."
"Lucy!"
"Nat-"
"LUCY WAKE UP" Mira shook her shoulders.
"KYA" Lucy sprung up in her bed.
"Lucy, are you ok?"
"I'm fine why? Wait how did you get in my house!"
"Because you were kinda crying in your sleep...Lucy do you wanna talk about 'it'?" Mira offered.
"I was?" Lucy touched her around her eyes and noticed it was wet.
"I'm fine, really I am.. Now how did you get in" Lucy got out of bed.
"The door was unlocked."
"Guess I forgot to lock it last night." She stretched her arms out and yawned.
"Oh by the way, we made you breakfast" Mira grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the kitchen.
"We?"
"Good morning Lu-chan!" Levy was setting the round table with delicious breakfast.
"Good morning Levy."
"Did you sleep well?" Juvia asked.
"Not really" Lucy sat down and took a bite out of her pancakes.
"Lucy, are you really oka-" Mira was cut off.
"These pancakes are delicious!" Lucy quickly ate them, drank a glass of milk then stood up to change in the bathroom.
She gathered her clothes and went inside.
"Wait Lucy" Mira tried to talk but Lucy already closed the door.
Right when Lucy closed the door, she slid her back against her door.
"No Mira...I'm not ok"

*NATSU'S POV*
He woke up, happy wasn't there so he got up and put his vest on.
'He must be at the guild or with Carla' he thought to himself as he rubbed his eyes.
He sat down for a second, just trying to wake up.
He sat there for about 10 minutes until he finally stood up and walked to the guild.
As he got there, barely anyone was there so he just sat on a bar stool.
It didn't take long for Erza, Gray and a few other people to arrive.
"Ready to fight Natsu?!" Gray walked up to him.
"Bring it stripper!" Natsu stood up and started fighting with him.
"And here comes the noise" Makarov said to himself, and sat on the bar counter.
About 15 minutes later Lucy, Juvia, Levy, and Mira arrived.
Lucy had bags under her eyes and felt tired.
"Are you sure you're gonna be ok?" Mira asked as she stepped behind the counter.
"Mira, I'm fine!" Lucy faked a smile once again and went to sit at a table in the far left corner.
She put her head in her arms and closed her eyes.
Natsu stopped fighting for a second and looked at her direction, was she sleeping?
"Stop dozing off flame brain" Gray punched him, sending him flying.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
-
"Sup shorty" Gajeel put his arm on Levy's head.
"Oh, good morning Gajeel!" She replied.
They all sat on the bar stools.
"Good morning master, would you like a drink?" Mira cleaned a glass for him.
"Please"
She poured it and handed it to him.
"Is everything ok with that Natsu/Lucy problem?" Makarov drank a sip of his drank and placed it down.
"Not really..when I woke her up this morning she was all teary eyed, meaning she was crying while she was sleeping" Mira explained.
Natsu stopped in place as he heard that.
"So it's that bad?" Gajeel asked.
"Yeah, she hasn't been sleeping much.. That's why she's sleeping over there" everyone turned and noticed the blonde sound asleep.
Natsu felt the guilt hit him.
He did what he did to protect her from getting hurt, but was she really protected now? He hurt her internally, he could tell she was faking her mood this whole time.
"Oh, that explains a lot" Levy said kinda depressed.
Erza heard this nearby, and went directly to Natsu.
She punched Gray's stomach, and dragged Natsu by his scarf.
"What's your problem Erza, sheesh" they were outside of the guild and he straightened his scarf.
"My problem is you!"
"Me?"
"Yes, you..don't you realize that your idiotic action is causing Lucy pain?" Erza was so mad at him, she could kill him.
"I know! Do you think she's the only one suffering?! The guilt is setting in pretty bad!" Natsu tightened his fists.
"Then what are you doing fighting with Gray?! GO APOLOGIZE TO HER"
"I can't.."
"Why not?!" A dark aura settled around her.
"She won't talk to me!"
"GO AND TRY! Or would you like to be skinned alive?"
"Ok ok! I'll go apologize geez"
Natsu walked back inside.
He went to the table Lucy was at, but noticed she was still asleep.
Her face was calm and peaceful, who knew that deep down inside she was hurting.
Everyone was watching nearby.
He turned and met their eyes.
"What are you waiting for?" Mira whispered.
"She's sleeping" he whispered back.
"WAKE HER UP!"
"Ok ok!" He turned his body back towards Lucy.
He shook her shoulder.
"Mira, 5... more minutes..." The blonde mumbled.
"It's not Mira" he replied.
As soon as she heads 'his' voice she quickly put her head up.
"Morning"
"What do you want" she said rubbing her eyes.
"I guess I just want to apologize.." He said nervously.
"Apologize? Oh for kicking me off the team and calling me weak? apology not accepted" she got up and started walking away but he followed her.
"Luce, listen"
"Don't call me that"
"I didn't mean to call you weak, it just...came out" he followed behind her.
"Still said it"
"Luce I kno-"
"I said don't call me that" she started walking towards the guild entrance.
"Just listen to me!" He grabbed her arm, making her turn towards him.
"Listen to you? Natsu do you even know how that made me feel.. I've stayed up thinking about it! I really didn't know my best friend could be able to leave me like that, I guess I was wrong wasn't I?" Her eyes were getting watery.
"No..Lucy I didn't mean to hurt you! I really didn't, I just felt useless and I didn't know what to do!" He let go of her arm.
"Maybe I didn't belong on your team..You guys are so strong everyone looks up to you and you know what..I'm just Lucy.. the weak celestial mage who does nothing" a tear ran down her face as she turned and ran outside of the guild.
The whole guild stood there in shock.
'What have I done' he thought to himself.
"Lucy!" Levy rushed past everyone and ran after her.
-
"Lucy?!" Levy looked everywhere for her.
'She couldn't have gotten far' she said to herself as she called her name.
She finally found her by a tree in front of a river.
She had her knees to her chest and her head down.
"Lu-chan! I found you" she gasped for air as she sat down next to her.
-
"Oh, Levy" Lucy cried into Levy's side, Levy brought her into a hug.
"It's ok Lucy..let it out" she rubbed her back for comfort.
"I've been telling everyone that I'm fine, but I'm really not! I'm sad, I'm hurt, I'm useless, I'm alone" she kept crying.
"No, stop that! Natsu might have hurt you, but you are not useless or alone! You have Me and the guild! We would never leave you alone" Levy said.
Lucy just kept crying.
"Natsu is just being an idiot like always! I really don't think he meant to hurt you, you're his best friend!"
"Best friends don't call each other weak and kick them off a team" Lucy said.
"Don't cry it's ok! If you keep crying you're gonna get wrinkles" Levy joked making Lucy laugh a little.
"Thank you Levy-chan, I'm glad to have friends like you" she wiped her tears away.
"No problem! That's what friends are for" Lucy hugged her tighter.
Soon after they both fell asleep next to each other on the green grass.

*GUILDS POV*
"Seriously?!" Natsu punched a hole in the brick wall.
Gray sighed and walked over to him.
"Everything will get better, take it easy on the wall" he said.
"Why do I have to be such an idiot!" He kept punching the wall.
"You were just born like that" Gray said.
"Gray!" Erza scolded him out.
"Sorry sorry, look you guys are best friends you'll get over this eventually"
Natsu stopped punching the wall.
"No, I really messed up this time" Natsu replied.
"Yeah because you're Natsu, you do this kind of stuff. Everything always ends up better in the end don't worry"
The dragon slayer sighed.
"I guess It's just gonna take time" Natsu said.
"Yeah, that's the spirit"
"Thanks man, who know besides being a stripper you can be a lame supporter" he punched his shoulder and walked past him.
"I'm not a strippe- hey were are my pants?!" He turned his head in every directions.
"Juvia found Gray-Sama's pants" Juvia said handing them to him.
When he took them, their hands touched.
"My hand has been touched by my beloved!" Juvia fainted from excitement.

Meanwhile, Makarov watched the whole thing.
"This needs to be solved quickly" he said to Mira.
"Agreed"
"Hmm...Mira hand me another drink..I have an idea"
