Only because I'm a huge Lucy and Laxus fan, I'm basing this small story on the episode where Lucy turns herself invisible. Let me know what you think and tell me if I should keep it going or not thanks.

"It was supposed to give me clear skin, not turn me invisible!" Lucy screamed as she saw herself in the mirror, or rather what she didn't see.

"Ok, ok, Lucy calm down." Looking at herself again. "Maybe the guild can help."

Getting dressed to ask for help, she thought better of it, seeing as how it would terrify everybody if they saw clothes floating around and nobody actually wearing them. That left her with only one choice, going out naked.

Exiting the building wasn't hard; in fact, being invisible was actually starting to be quite easy. With that confidence in mind, all she had to do was make it to the guild. Walking through the market place trying not to bump into anyone, she stayed close to the walls of the buildings.

'This is actually kinda fun,' she thought, 'just because I'm in a bit of a crisis doesn't mean I shouldn't enjoy this while I can!'

A bigger determination finding itself in her mind, Lucy decided to have her fun. Jumping in the middle of the street, she started posing in a bunch of flirty positions. That is, until a small thought popped into her head.

'Wait, what if I'm doing this and the spell starts wearing off?!' A picture of her standing in front of all these people in her birthday suite didn't sit well. 'I need to get to the guild now!'

She was about to book it to the guild hall when a very curious, very big dog caught her sent.

'Nice doggy, go away now.' Trying to shew the dog away.

"Hmm? What you smelling there boy, there's nothing there. I think you're losing your touch old fella." His owner inquired, that is until his dog decided to show his friendliness.

-lick- "!" "AAHHHH!"

"What was that? Sounded like a girls voice."

Lucy had ran around the corner of the next alley, only to bump into another problem.

"Oof!" It was like running into a wall, however before she could fall on her ass, she was caught.

"What the?"

'Oh no!' Panicking as she looked at who had her in their grip. Relatively taller than she was, she barely reach his shoulder. Looking up at the one and only Laxus Dreyar, whom in turn, was staring straight at her.

"What the heck is this?" He had her by her shoulders and was trying to figure out what it was. "It's shaped like a person for sure," he said moving his hands down her sides to her waist.

"Eep!" she squeaked.

"Hm?"

'Oh no.'

Moving his hands back up, he found something else. They were squishy, big, definitely soft and bouncy. Lucy's face would have turned every shade of red if you could see her. Upon reflex, "Let go of me you pervert!" -SLAP!-

Shocked, Laxus was knocked back, with a red hand print plastered on his left cheek; he didn't know what exactly had happened. Lucy took that moment to get away from her molester and head to the hall.

"That voice sounded familiar," thinking about what just happened, he had run into someone, a girl. Someone from the guild he knew that but he couldn't place who. Thinking of the shape, the girl had a small frame with a big rack. He had a real good feel of her chest that was for sure, his face turning a slight pink from thinking about it.

"I should probably ask the guild." He said heading to the building, he tried to place a face to the body and voice.

At the Guild Hall

"Oh man, are you whipped!" Called a guild-mate to Natsu. "Does she always kick you out?" asked Romeo.

Natsu was sitting at the bar with every one gathered around him as he and Happy ate. "Yeah, she always kicks us out like that, don't know why though." He said with food in his mouth.

"Well it sounds to me like you deserve it," said Carla "You two constantly barge into her apartment and treat it like it was some kind of sleazy hotel or something. If it were me, I would have clawed your eyes out and left you to rot." The small white cat commented, crossing her arms.

"Indeed," agreed Erza, "you two have no respect for her privacy."

"Though I agree, she could stand to be a little nicer to the guys." One said.

"You would think that growing up in a mansion, she would turn to be more lady like." Another laughed.

"Yeah, no wonder all the guys call her the blonde beast." Happy stated chowing into his fish.

"If you ask me, Lucy could stand to learn a thing or two about being a lady from Levy."

"Yeah, she's cute and delicate like a flower."

Everyone in the guild were laughing at her, Lucy had been in the hall from the very start to hear what everyone was saying about her. Coming over here to ask for help only to hear this instead.

'Nice to know what everyone really thinks about me…' thought Lucy as tears started welling up in her eyes. 'Yeah, I'm mean like that…but only because I don't want to be pushed around. I grew up being quiet and courteous, it doesn't get you anywhere but ignored.' -sniff, sniff-

"Hm?" Something had caught Natsu's nose, the smell of salt water and Lucy.

Sniffing the air, he followed it to its source. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, nothing new there. Upon closer examination, Natsu saw water floating in midair.

"Lucy is that you?" a smile plastered on his face, going to hug her he grabbed something he shouldn't.

-SLAP!- "Watch where you're grabbing you perv!"

"Huh?" everyone had stopped what they were doing "Was that Lucy?" asked Mira looking around.

"It sure sounded like her." Gray agreed looking around with everyone else.

"She's here but we can't see her."

"It's alright you guys, she's right here." Natsu claimed happily wrapping his arm around her trying to show the guild.

"Let go of me!" Frustration clear in her voice, Lucy slapped Natsu's arm away from her.

"Huh? What's the matter Luce?" Natsu was confused, but so was everyone else.

"Like you care! I'm just a stupid, mean, spoiled little rich girl remember?!" She huffed.

"Oh come on Lucy, we didn't mean it honest." Levy waved her hands in front of her tying to sound apologetic.

"Yeah right, you don't mean it now because I'm here right?" The tears were emanate on her face as they streamed down her cheeks. "Just because I'm not as sweet as Levy is all the time I'm just some heartless monster right? Is that it?!"

"Lucy calm down," Wendy was trying to be sincere

"No you calm down!"

In the middle of all the commotion, Laxus walked in, though it didn't seem like anyone noticed. Seeing what everyone else could, water floating in the air. 'Is that the same girl I ran into?' he thought looking at what was 'not' there.

"It's nice to see what you guys really think of me! What kind of guy would like me right? Sorry for being myself!" With that said, Lucy ran off out the building, the door slamming shut on her way out.

"Um, what just happened?" Laxus asked Gray, whom, like everyone, was feeling bad about what Lucy heard.

"Looks like Lucy got herself turned invisible," he said trying to explain.

"Lucy is that blonde girl right? Heartfilia?"

"Yeah, that's her. I guess she was here for a quite a while and she caught us talking about her."

"Safe to say she didn't take it too well…" stated Mira.

"I have to go look for her!" Natsu yelled heading for the door with Happy right behind him, that is until they were both grabbed. "What the hell?!"

"I think you guys have caused enough damage for one day." Laxus said putting them both down.

"But she's our friend!"

"Yeah, you can't expect us to just leave her."

"I'm not saying that, but right now the last thing she needs is be face to face with the people that made her feel this way."

Everyone didn't like not doing anything, but they knew he was right. Lucy was in no mood to see any of them, let alone hear them out.

"Still, I didn't expect her to react that way," Cana said to her pitcher of beer, "she usually gets all mad and starts yelling."

"That's the thing, you assume. Don't forget she does have feelings."

That just made everyone feel a bit worse.

"So what do we do? We can't just leave her to roam all alone out there?" Levy cried, trying to stay calm.

"I'll look for her."

The whole guild looked at Laxus like he had two heads.

"What makes you think she'll listen to you?" Erza asked skeptical

"For one thing, I wasn't part of this little event here."

Keep hitting the nail, Laxus.

"Second, I'm sure she just wants someone to vent to." Turning to leave and find the Celestial mage, "I'll be right back." Closing the doors behind him.

'Not only that but I should apologize for earlier too.' He thought, cheeks getting a slight pink tint.

'Now where would she go?'

Though his intentions were good, Laxus didn't know this girl, how would he find her?

"Hm?" something caught his eye. Kneeling down he saw a small water droplet on the concrete floor. Looking closer, there were more.

"Follow the trail." And he did, leading him straight to the girl. From what he saw he had found her, or at least a small puddle of her tears. She was sitting in the middle of town under the big tree. No one was around, but you could hear the birds chirping in the distance, taking this as a good opportunity, he went and sat down against the tree next to her, give or take a few feet.

The moment he sat down though, she made herself quiet down, trying her hardest to keep from crying to avoid him knowing she was there. She wiped the tears from her face and was concentrating on steadying her breathing.

'If I'm quiet, I might be able to slip away unnoticed.'

However, before she could begin to get away.

"Are you going to stay quiet all day or do you wanna talk?" Laxus asked looking up at the sky.

She didn't know what to say, was he being serious or just crazy? Not knowing the answer she stayed quiet to see.

"…"

"Look Blonde, I don't have all day, you can sit there sulking in your own tears or you can talk to me." He now looked in her general direction, a fairly serious look on his face.

"…How did you know I was here?" She asked, her voice shaky and skeptic.

"I followed you, being perceptive comes in handy." He said calmly leaning back against the trunk of the large tree.

"What are you some kind of stalker?" If you could see her, her face turned a little pink when he mentioned that.

"I could be if that's what turns you on." Looking in her direction again with a slight seductive look in his eyes as a smirk appeared on his face.

Her face burned red hot, how was she supposed to respond that?

"I-In your dreams pal!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding don't get so tempered."

His smile was nice, the fact that he was just there was nice really.

"…tempered…" Bringing her knees to her chest, she was getting ready to cry again.

"Mind telling me what's up or should I start guessing?"

"…am I really so mean that no one likes me?"

"What do you mean, no one likes you? Salamander likes you, so does Gray and Erza. Aren't they your friends?"

"No, they are! I mean…"

"Why don't guys like you?"

-!- "NO! Why the hell would I care about that!?" Her face was burning, how could he ask something like that? "….I mean…."-sigh-"…what's wrong with me?" The tears came back, falling from her eyes to which she so desperately wished they would stop.

That was all Laxus could see though; the water shaping her face.

-Flop- "Huh?"

Lucy looked up to see that Laxus had thrown his oversized coat on her head. Giving her a better shape he hugged her to his side. Neither looking at her or saying a word, he kept his eyes looking straight ahead. Had anyone passed by, they would see the man holding his coat out to the side with his one arm. She couldn't take it any longer, face hotter than the sun, she cried into his side. That was all she could do, he was showing her so much kindness and warmth in that embrace, she just cried. She loved this feeling, but it didn't last.

'Something's wrong.' She thought looking up. Her chest was feeling warm, and not in the good way.

"Laxus..?" Looking at his face, he was showing a very confused look.

"Hm?" His coat and arm fell to the ground in a quick instant.

"What's going on? Laxus what happened?"

"What the hell am I doing out here?"

"What?!" Like her heart had shattered into a million pieces. "Laxus stop joking like that, it's not funny!" Fear was emanating in her voice. Reaching to grab his arm though, there was no contact.

"No…"

"Ugh…I can't remember what I was doing…" Laxus stood up, grabbing his coat, "I think I was heading to the guild…?" Scratching his head and walking away.

"No this can't be happening!"

Lucy was disappearing, not just invisible but like she never existed. Running as fast as she could, she went to the guild hall.

"Natsu!" She cried trying to get his attention. Nothing.

"Gray? Erza?" She was frantic, they couldn't hear her, couldn't see her.

"Someone! Anyone! LISTEN TO ME!" Screaming at the top of her lungs, she stood there in the middle of the hall crying.

She wasn't real anymore, in her fear, she collapsed to the floor. No one knew her, she didn't exist. Everyone went back to what they were doing, none of them giving a care in the world.

The door opened, everyone turned to see Laxus walk in.

"Oi! Salamander!" The thunder wizard called.

"Hey Laxus, what's up?" Natsu happily greeted, as he and Happy walked to Laxus.

Grabbing him by the scarf around his neck, "What the hell's your problem making her cry like that?!" Rage had built on his walk over, and it was easily directed at Natsu.

"What the hell are you talking about!? Make who cry?" The fire breather retorted in the same volume.

"What do you mean "who?" Heartfilia! You Flame-Brain!"

Everyone went quiet…

"Heart..filia..?" There was a blank look that appeared on both their faces at the mention of the name.

"Lucy..?" Happy questioned skeptically.

"Lucy."

"Yeah, Lucy."

They were remembering, the whole guild, everyone. Smiles spreading on each face, she existed again.

"How could we forget our friend?"

"Where is she?"

Laxus had let go of Natsu, walking to the middle of the floor, he took off his coat spreading it over something.

Everyone looked at the blonde man with a questioned look. He had a genuine smile on his face as the coat rose. Turning around, Lucy had tears in her eyes with a big smile on her face. Her face was red, but she was happy again.

"Lucy!"

Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carla, and Levy rushed to give her a hug. Everyone was happy for her return, yelling and cheering for her. Everyone was happy she was back.

She couldn't be happier; she was loved by her friends, her guild. Looking around at all the smiling faces, her eyes stopped on one in particular. Walking over to the tall man, she looked up at his eyes, without second guessing it; she threw her arms around him in a big hug.

Startled, Laxus' face grew red. Hesitating, he wrapped his arms around the girl covered by his enormous coat.

"Thank you." Was all she could say into his chest as the tears started flowing. She wasn't sad, she was back, how could she anything but happy?

There you have it. My little one-shooter with Laxus and Lucy. Let me know what you think! :D R&R!
