Lucy woke up weeping. She pulled her covers back over her head and stayed there for a moment.
"Why can't I get over this? They're just a couple of nightmares!" she frusturatedly slumped back onto her pillow, still sobbing. She had been having horrid nightmares of all her friends leaving her, and some even when they…
Nevermind. It was too horrid to think about. But the dreams were so vivid, Lucy couldn't help but freak out. Everyone told her she was acting spacy, but she refused to believe she was being weird. She was just shaken up. Natsu enetered through the window again. Lucy ignored him.
"Luce? Luce? Lucy? Lucy, what's been going on?" Happy flew behind him, looking genuinely concerned. "Did I do something wrong?" asked the pink-haired boy, peering into Lucy's tearful eyes.
"N-no...I'm so sorry...I-I should be at the g-guild hall by now." Lucy wiped her eyes.
"If ya don't feel up to it, we don't have to go." Natsu rested his arm on his female friend's shoulder. "Do you wanna tell me what's wrong?" she nodded.
"I-it's stupid, but I've been having the worst nightmares."
"Aww, that sucks. What were they about?" Natsu put his supportives arms tighter around Lucy as her tears started up again.
"You...and Erza...and Gray...were...were…"
"That will never happen. We will always be here for you."
"Aye!"
"Thanks, you guys."
