Experiment #12~ Being not a wimp.

(Narrator)

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted as the dragon slayer stared into blankness. "Natsu, please tell me you believe me!"

Natsu just answered her with a blank stare and his hand removed from her back. His eyes were moving back and forth on the two Lucy's.

"Come on Natsu." Lulu stepped closer to him. "I'm the real Lucy."

Natsu was still silent as also were the whole guild. Both Lucy's had worried faces. They looked like twins, but somehow one seemed different than the other.

"Who do you believe Natsu?" Lucy's voice rose and her eyes were becoming watery.

"I..." He stopped as he took another look at Lulu.

Lucy saw that Natsu's possible answer would be not her. She felt the tears rising up and her eyes were becoming hot. She tried not to cry, but the pain she felt was about to make her explode. At last, she couldn't take it anymore.

"I get it." The Celestial wizard whispered that sentence, just before running out from the guild.

Natsu stood there shocked, as he saw her running away quickly.

"Thank you Natsu. I know that you'll believe that I'm the real Lucy. I love you." Lulu hugged the right arm of Natsu as he stared at her.

Lucy kept running away as she tried to grip on the blanket as it was the only thing she was wearing. Tears fell like a waterfall. It was non-stop. Instead of feeling better, she felt that the pain was even greater every time she felt a tear running down her cheek.

Her vision was becoming foggy, and she tripped on an exposed root of a tree. She laid there crying and her right hand digging through the dirt. Her moans were soft but painful. Every time another tear fell, she felt she was going to break.

A hand reached out to her and lifted her up from the ground. She was carried like a princess, and she still held on to the blanket. Lucy blinked for her vision to make out who it was that saved her. A few more blinks and she could outline who it was.

"Natsu." Her voice was still awful. Her cheeks were red and wet. Her eyes seemed like they were glowing bright from the redness, and she was covered in dirt.

The puffing Natsu carried Lucy away from the guild and towards the city. Lucy stared at him, not being able to understand why he was with her.

"I thought you didn't believe me." She asked as her eyes were focused on him.

"I was confused at first, but then I noticed that the way the two of you look were different. The eyes were the same colour but the shine was missing from the other Lucy. And after you left, she thanked me and said I love you. I know that you don't have the courage to say that to me in front of the public since it embarrasses you."

Lucy fell silent until they reached the outer portion of the city.

"Wait, Natsu." She said. "Will you still believe me even until the very end?"

His eyes became darker and intense for a second and replied. "I'll always believe you Lucy. I promise." He then continued walking to the city.

Back at the guild, everyone stared at Lulu, after what Natsu said. Lulu kept remembering what that vicious Dragon Slayer's words were.

"Don't lie that you love me. You don't have to go to that point to become the original, faker." It echoed until to the back of her head.

"That fiend; I'll enjoy crushing him until to his last bone." She thought.

As Lulu stood there thinking of her revenge, Titania, or Erza Scarlet approached her with the tip of a sword.

"Who are you impostor!" she demanded.

Lulu chuckled and removed the sword from her face. She looked at the scarlet haired girl and spoke.

"What are you talking about? I'm Lucy Heartfilia, a Celestial spirit mage of Fairy Tail. Who else could I be?" She gave what one might call a disturbing smile.

"I know for sure that you're not our Lucy. Now who are you?" Erza straightened her sword again in front of the other girl's face.

"Ouch." She said in a sarcastic tone. "I'm still Lucy you know, in one way or another. It's just that we have different personalities. But for sure, I'm not an impostor. So be careful with the accusations you make Titania."

"Don't play games with me!" Erza pinned her to the wall pissed. "Now if you say you're also Lucy, then how can that be? Lucy is an only child, and she didn't mention any siblings especially a twin. Now how can there be two Lucy's?"

"I also wonder how can there be two Lucy's. Can't the other one just disappear?"

Just when Erza was about to hit her, she disappeared and the pouch of Lucy, filled with her keys, dropped on to the floor.

"Lulu is the name by the way." Her voice echoed as smoke disappeared from where she stood.

"Lulu. Wasn't that that the name of the girl we encountered the other night?" Gray stepped forward and stood beside Erza.

"Yeah. We should ask the real Lucy what happened to her while she was kidnapped." She said as she picked up the pouch on the floor.

Natsu carried Lucy back to her apartment to change into her usual clothes. He sat on the bed as he waited for her to come out of the bathroom.

In just a few minutes later, Lucy came out good as new. She sat beside Natsu on the bed and took deep breaths.

"I really wonder who that was back at the guild. Was I cloned or something?" She stared at the ceiling as she thought.

"Cloning huh? But she sure is bad about the way she feels." Natsu chuckled. "She can't copy the original."

"What are you trying to imply Natsu?" Lucy demanded as her face was becoming red.

"I don't know, you tell me Lucy."

"Fine, you're implying that you're the one who is more wimp out to be honest about the way he feels." Lucy laughed as Natsu turned to her and jumped on her.

"What are you doing Natsu?" she screamed.

"Being not a wimp." He answered as he tickled her from every side.

"Stop it! I said stop it!" Lucy kept laughing as Natsu kept tickling.

Soon, both of them ran out of breath and just lied down beside each other, huffing heavily.

"Say Lucy, I wonder if we could move on from this problem soon and return back to normal." Natsu sat up and stared at her.

"I wish too."

Just as the both of them were laughing, a flying figure stared at them outside from the window. The corner of its mouth curved and it spoke.

"They llllllllike each other.
