H-Hello minna, *laughs nervously* how y'all been? Not like it's been two months or anything, heheh…. Sorry? But I'm not dead! That's good right? ANyway, I don't really have a good excuse for being gone for so long, I just got so caught up on one story I avoided all the others like the plague. Woops? Anwhoozies, for waiting so long, I reward you with, *drumroll please* a sUPER SHORT CHAPTER! *applause applause* please don't kill me. I was going to make it longer, but I was taking forever to get a few sentences in and I have to get to my tournament in an hour and I'm still not out of bed and I'm sorry. But I do give you this update with a promise:

I promise I will update some time this week to make up for this teeny tiny chapter and for vanishing like I did. Good? Good. ANyway, hope you enjoy, nothing really happens woops, but nonetheless don't forget to leave me a nice review and maybe a follow and favorite?

Gomen minna, and thank you!

"N-Natsu, do you want m-me to d-drive?" Lucy whimpered, clinging to handle above the car door like her life depended on it, because it did. Natsu shook his head weakly in response, his face growing even greener than it had been before.

"N-No, I'm f-" His words were interrupted by the sudden heaving in his stomach and warm fluid rising up his throat. Natsu's hand flew to his mouth, leaving the steering wheel to roam on it's own. Lucy screamed at this and threw herself over him, taking the wheel awkwardly in her own hands. Despite the car being steadier than before, Lucy had the constant feeling that she was about to be thrown up on and she was unable to see the windshield. Today was the day of her death, she could feel it.

"T-turn, la-Ef-" Natsu managed to struggle out before he threw his head out the window to throw up on a poor, unsuspecting squirrel. But Lucy understood what Natsu was saying, and forced the steering wheel to left. A trashcan toppled over in the cars wake, and some lawns may have been flattened, but at least we didn't crash Lucy thought.

"I-It's th-" Natsu's hands flew to his mouth again, before he weakly pointed his finger to the right. Lucy obliged, giving the steering wheel a sharp pull in hopes that she wouldn't hit a tree. Though the closest thing they got to an accident was Natsu looking as if his soul had left his body, allowing Lucy to let out a sigh of relief.

Lucy stepped carefully out of the car, which was taking up over half of the driveway, and made her way over to the male on the other side. She opened the door for him, but he remained curled up in a ball on the seat.

"How can you still be sick even though the car isn't moving?" Lucy asked gently as she hoisted his limp body out of the car. Hearing the name of the 'death vehicle' made Natsu's pale face take on a light green hue, which forced a small laugh out of Lucy's throat like Natsu's vomit. A laugh that nobody had heard in a while. A laugh that made Lucy's eyes tear up and her stomach tighten, slowly building up from a small giggle until she could hardly contain herself. Maybe it was the pure hilarity of the situation. Maybe it was that she had nearly died with a man she had just met. Maybe it was that the man she nearly died with some how managed to get a license. No matter what it was, Lucy couldn't stop laughing, no matter how hard she tried.

As the color started to return to his face, Natsu watched the hysterical blonde as she laughed, curiosity dancing in his eyes. But against his internal wishes, her laughter started to die down, leaving only a small tear as a memory of her fit. But that little memory was quickly wiped away with her finger, and as soon as the laughter had come, it was gone.

"I'm sorry, I have no idea what came over me," Lucy said with a soft smile. Natsu stood up on his own and grinned, despite his wobbling legs that he was sure would give out at any moment.

"No problem, I think you're adorable when you laugh anyway," He replied, his grin growing wider. Lucy's only response was a soft blush forming on her cheeks, leaving silence between the two. That was until they had actually decided to go inside, and Natsu was reaching for the handle to the door when Lucy piped up.

"Are you sure this is your house?" She asked quietly, raising an eyebrow. Natsu froze mid-door opening, and slowly turned his head to look at the number on the house. When his eyes finally met the numbers above the garage, green overtook his face again.

"W-We can walk from here it's not too far-"

"I'll drive, okay? I'd rather not see my life flash before my eyes like that again," Lucy interrupted, "Where is it at?"

"Let's j-just walk, okay?! I-It's not too far I mean-"

"We can't leave the car here Natsu, where is it?" Lucy pressed. Natsu swallowed and avoided the blondes questioning eyes.

"Fairies Crossing."

"Natsu?"

"Yes?"

"tHAT'S 5 MILES AWAY YOU IDIOT!"

Needless to say, Lucy drove.
