So i decided to pick up the torch and keep the fire going. P.s for all my Fallen Angel and Princess and the Dragon fans or reviewers i will be updating at 8 or 9 o'clock to night so get ready for another Chap ;D
It was another boring day at Fairy Tail as Lucy Heartfilla, sat at the bar. Sighing sadly of there was absolutely nothing to do. Ever since, Fairy Tail claimed victory at the magic tournament. Of course the guild threw a giant party of their win that lasted almost about a week.
Lucy sighed, for almost the tenth time that day. As of Natsu Dragneel her best friend was traveling looking for Igneel. You see after the tournament was over and their guild was number one yet again. He thought it was best to leave and start researching for Igneel. Rumors had appeared of a strange creature roaming the lands. This made the dragon slayer even more then happy to leave as soon as possible. But what really pissed Lucy off the most was that he left without even saying a 'good bye' at least… Taking Happy along with him in this journey. All that was left was a sticky note stuck to her window saying: "Me and Haps. Have gone to find Igneel. Will be back as soon as possible I promise! Signed, Salamander."
"Soon as possible… But you've been gone for almost 4 month now…" Lucy spoke her mind aloud. Mira, who was standing right in front of her, heard the dilemma. For the past few months ever since Natsu's sudden disappearance. Lucy has been more depressed then usual, never did the white haired beauty think that the blonde would miss him this badly.
"Hey Lucy-san you ok?" Mira's voice full of concern.
"Yea, I'm fine thank Mira." Lucy smiled at the mage, so she wouldn't be as concerned.
Deciding to go to her apartment for the rest of the day, in order not to cause more concern from her Nakama any further. Lucy waved goodbye to the bartender. Making her way to the guild doors and out into the streets of Magnolia. Slowly walking to her destination through the crowd's of people in the towns square. In the corner of her eye she saw a blue blur.
Stopping to turn her head in the direction that she saw it run by, there was nothing there. Just people pushing their way through the bustling crowds. Shrugging her shoulders. She continued to walk as if nothing ever happened. 'Must have been my imagination.' Lucy thought.
Walking aimlessly ahead, as her mind was in other places. She ended up at Magnolia south gate park. Staring face to face with the giant tree that has stood there for who knows how long.
"How the hell did I end up here?" Lucy spoke to no one in particular.
Then it happened again another blue blur. Quickly twisting around her whole body to catch it this time, nothing was there. 'That's two times today…' Lucy thought worriedly in her head. Maybe she drank a bit to much at the guild, that she was now seeing things.
That's when everything went from freaky to totally weird. Turning back to walk ahead she spotted a long sleek blue tail with a white tip at the end. She only knew one animal with a tail like that. "Happy?" She questioned. Making the animal turn around, panic written all over its face. Lucy was right it was Happy the blue cat, but it somewhat different. He wore a brown waist coat, with a golden pocket watch. Pulling the watch from his pocket, his face turned pale. "Aye! I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. No time to say Aye or good bye I'm late, I'm late, I'm late." The neko shouted running behind some bush's.
"Happy wait up!" Lucy ran after the blue exceed, in the hopes at least meeting up with a certain pink haired mage. This was so odd, Happy should've came flying to the blonde and crashing into her chest for a giant hug. Let alone he wasn't even with Natsu! Lucy couldn't help but wonder, and were could Happy be possibly going in such a hurry?
Following the blue exceed wasn't easy. As they both ran into the dark forest. Then out of no where the cat just disappeared. Frantically looking around for any sign of the blue fur ball, all she saw was his tail falling into what seemed like a hole. Lucy sprinted over to where she last saw the cat. Quickly stopping as she saw that there was only a giant hole in front of her. Looking down into the dark abyss, she pondered on what she should do. 'Should I just jump in? Or turn back? Knowing that Happy jumped in it shouldn't be that far deep right?' Lucy thought tapping her chin lightly.
Sliding in a foot to test how far down it was, the blonde had lost her footing. Making her fall deep down into the hole. "KYAAAAAAAA!"
Lucy kept falling and falling and it seemed like forever. Either this hole was amazingly deep, or she was falling in slow motion. For she had plenty of time to look at her surrounding's. Book's were everywhere onto of book shelves. Fabrics of all kinds brushed up against her, until she saw a certain checkered pattern that she came to Love over the years. Tugging onto the fabric it turned into a scarf, as Lucy grasped on to it for her dear life. Pictures and maps started to smack her in the face, as she realized they were job requests. When would she reach the end?
Closing her eyes facing the inevitable, as she saw the floor below. Natsu's muffler puffed up, making the landing a bit more less of a blow. Floating to the bottom she landed with a small thump. All that was left was her and the scarf dangling in her hands. 'Better keep this with me, Natsu probably miss's it.' As Lucy wrapped the muffler around her neck.
Looking back up from the hole she fell in, she sighed. There was no light from the out side just a black tunnel from above. Standing up, dusting off her skirt. She looked down a narrow hallway that was before her. That's when she saw the blue neko again running off farther away.
"Wait Happy!" Lucy shouted, chasing after the cat.
As Happy turned a right corner, so did Lucy. But as she did so nothing was there. Just a small table with a bottle of what seemed like juice, and a cheese cake. Words printed onto each item. The juice had the word's: Drink me. While the Cheese cake had: Eat me.
Lucy looked baffled at the two items. Would it really be safe to eat or drink these things? Lucy's mind got the better of her as she stretched out a hand to the drink. "Oh well bottoms up!" Lucy cheered as she slowly chugged it down. A tremor shot through her, as she begun to shrink down to size. Making her drop the now very large bottle of juice to the floor.
"What the hell? How did I end up getting so small?" Lucy took in her small size.
"That simple Lucy-san." A booming voice echoed to her.
Looking around to find the voice. She saw that it was Wendy Marvell about ten stories higher than her. The sky mistress looked down to the small Lucy.
"Here this should help you on your journey." Wendy broke off an extremely small piece of the cheese cake, enough for Lucy's size. Handing it to the ant sized Lucy.
"Why do I need this?" Lucy questioned the raven haired mage.
"If you want to turn big again of course~ But use it wisely Lucy-san!" Wendy sang loudly, as tremors shook the ground almost making Lucy topple over.
Putting the cheese cake in her right pocket for safe keeping. She looked back up to where Wendy was just standing, only to notice she was missing.
"This is so weird…" Lucy sweat drop. Looking about, she saw a small door she had never noticed before. Creeping up to the small door, it fit her size perfectly. If she were her original size, she would have never had fit.
Turning the door knob, she opened the door with a creak. As a strange new world unfolded on the other side. Two headed birds whizzed right by her. Strange plants that looked so remarkably beautiful. Animal noises she's never even heard before echoed through the large lush forest.
Lucy couldn't believe her eyes, or even her ears. 'I've got to be dreaming or something…' She thought in awe. Scanning the forest from afar she caught the glimpse of a blue blur running south.
Quickly she ran in the direction Happy was headed to. Descending from the set of stairs that led a path into the forest. Lucy ran as quickly as possible to catch up to the cat. As she heard her heels click onto the pavement. She followed the blue blur until she meet up with a barrel. Digging her heels into a screeching stop she looked at the barrel questioningly. Barrels were pilled everywhere, up high. A mountain high of them and on the tip top sat a women of brown wavy hair. "Cana! It's great to see you. Have you by the chance seen Happy run pass here?" Lucy questioned the drunken mage.
A burp came out of the mage. The brown haired mage addressed her in a slurred yet sleepy voice. "Whoooo are yoooou?"
"It's me Lucy. Your friend." Lucy stated to the drunk.
"OOO really? Lucy? That name doesn't ring a bell are yooou really Lucy?" The drunk tested.
"Yes, I am Lucy." Lucy stomped.
"A pretty name like that doesn't suit you… You make the name sound so. Dull." The mage chuckled.
"I AM LUCY HEARTFILLA." Lucy shouted.
The drunk flinched, then a sudden smile spread across it's features. "Very good, always be proud of who you are Lucy. Don't forget it." The drunk stated, as she took another sip out of a large keg.
"Wait was that some type of dumb test?" The blonde-haired woman asked as a vain popped of irritation.
"Whooo said anything about tests?" The drunk questioned back as her slur came once again.
"Follow the path of barrels they'll lead yooou to the blue cat." Cana continued.
Lucy smiled at the brown haired women, waving goodbye to her friend she followed the barrels to find Happy. Leaving the drunk alone to her alcoholic beverages. "Good Luck on your journey, Lucy." Cana spoke aloud to herself.
Panting Lucy ran as far as her heels could take her, but still no sign of Happy. As she started to walk. "Wow Cana must've been drinking past her record cause there's still more barrels here." Lucy laughed.
When suddenly the forest came to an end and so did the barrels revealing a very large plain. In the middle stood a cabin much like Natu's. Then she saw him again, Happy frantically knocking at the front door. The door opened revealing a white cat with a pink bow tied to the end of its tail.
"Charle! Happy! Wait up!" Lucy shouted jogging over to the house. The white neko spotted Lucy. While the blue cat ran inside, ignoring once again the blonde that was following him.
"Charle wait up!" Lucy shouted catching up.
Charle looked at the girl with strange eyes, 'Do I know her from somewhere?'. The white neko spoke doubtfully in her mind.
"What's your name strange human? Are you one of the red queens servants?" The cat spoke in a fright. Her eyes filled with tears as the cat slowly bowed.
"What's wrong Charle, its just me Lucy. You know celestial wizard of Fairy Tail, I'm your friend?" The blondes voice full of worry. She was afraid that Charle the cat had also forgotten her as well. Just as the drunk Cana had did so.
"F-friend? Wait! Lucy? It cant be true, what is your full name?" The cat pointed an accusing finger, as one of her brows was raised.
"First Cana, now you. Is Natsu playing another trick on me? Cause this isn't funny. Plus, you already my name it's Lucy Heartfilla." Her tone became more fierce.
The neko's eyes went wide. "H-heartfilla?" The cat fell to her knees once again but this time with a low bow. "M-My queen I apologize for my rudeness." The exceed finished.
"Queen? Ok this must be some type of trick! Natsu if you planned this I had enough I don't want to play this game anymore!" The blonde shouted, making the strange two headed birds fly away from their nest's. A large clanking noise came from inside of the house.
"Honey have you seen my horn?" A voice shouted from the inside. "Aye! Never mind I found it!" The giddy voice ran only to stop dead in its tracks to see his wife bowing low to Lucy.
"Don't be so rude Happy! Don't you see were in the presence of the great white one?" The cat hissed.
Happy looked from his wife to Lucy and back again. The pocket watch he had from earlier started to ding. "Oh no now I'm really late! I have no time for your weird analogies. I have to go have a nice day." As the blue neko waved goodbye.
"Happy wait up!" The blonde for almost the seventh time that day chased after the cat. Rudely leaving the white cat alone, who was still bowing to the floor.
"The White Queen has returned… I must call Mr. Fullbuster he will know what to do!" Charle smiled running into the cabin to dial for the frigid messenger of the red queen.
~0~
Following the blue fur ball, Lucy had lost him in the dark strange plant like forest. Coming to a fork in the road made everything even more harder. The blonde groaned, why was she even running after the dumb cat anyway. Thinking it over she really had no reason for it, but just one. The only thing on her mind was in the hopes of finding Natsu in this whole mess. Even if it was a dream she didn't care as long as she saw him. That's all she really cared about. Him.
"Thinking of someone special I see…" A ruff voice purred.
Lucy twirled around in all directions but say nothing. "Who's there?" Speaking to thin air.
A Black cat with a white tip at the end of its tail appeared before her. "PanterLilly?" she continued.
"Yup that's me." The cat nodded.
"Wait you know me right?" Lucy questioned. As of today, the only people she actually met in this strange dream that did remember her was Wendy.
"Of course I do, you're Lucy The White Queen." The neko informed while pawing at its whiskers.
"Why is everyone calling me that?" Lucy grunted in frustration.
"I don't know it's your dream Lucy Hearfilla. I'm just a part of your story, a figment of your imagination." Lilly smiled wide. Never had Lucy ever seen Gajeels very own exceed smile like this it was almost ear to ear.
"Then how did Wendy remember me, but not Happy, Charle or Cana?" The blonde rose a brow.
"That's all up to you Lucy. In this world you're the Queen, but you have no control over your dream. Sadly you cant change the outcome of what could or might happen." The black cat explained.
Lucy thought about this, tapping her nose lightly. "Well, how the hell do I get out of here?"
"You must win against the Red Queen your evil sister. And once you claim the thrown again and everyone is happy you will be able to leave Wonderland." Lilly spoke, this gave Lucy at least somewhat information on what she was to do. Smacking her forehead she sighed.
"I knew reading Alice and Wonderland would be a bad idea…" Lucy scratched her head slightly.
Ignoring the comment the black cat spoke to her for a finally time as he was disappearing.
"One road is to the Mad Hatter's house and the other belongs to the March Hare. Chose wisely my friend." As he disappeared taking his body with him but the smile was still there. With a pop the smile vanished leaving her, alone once again in the dark forest.
Now that she knew what book she was in. She had least had an inkling what to do but this story had somewhat of a twist. Never was Alice the White Queen, and the only reason she followed the rabbit was because out of boredom. At least on this is for certain, Lucy had a choice to make. Alice never went to the March Hare's house in the book and that only meant meeting the Mad Hatter. The blonde always had a liking to the mad hatter, he was the only one that stood trial for Alice. But then of course failed, because he was so crazy about birthday parties and celebrations. This made Lucy wonder who of her friends would be the Hatter? Gray, Erza, maybe even Juvia. She is pretty crazy herself if you think about it.
Taking the right fork in the road to the Mad Hatter's house she walked. As she was to tired to even run any more. For a dream it felt so real to her. Soon coming upon a clearing she saw something that almost blew her mind. She was in front of her own apartment building complex. But it was somewhat different, it was in the middle of the forest with a extremely large dinning table placed in the front yard. Tea cups were scattered everywhere, a Tea spout started to screech meaning it was already boiled enough. Chairs were in and out of the table. Two people sat at this disastrous area, a blue haired women reading a book silently to herself. While a man twice her size sat next to her snoozing away. Wearing what seemed to be a mouse custom.
Quickly recognizing the women she almost squealed. "Levy-chan!" The blonde ran towards her best friend.
"L-Lucy-chan? Is that you?" The blue haired women slowly putting down her book. Standing from her chair as the blonde met with her for a tight embrace.
"Where have you been my Queen? The Kingdom was very worried about you." As the book worm almost started to tear up.
Playing along to her dream she spoke. "You know, I was off traveling. Until my ship was attacked by pirates…" Lucy almost smacked her head, with the lame excuse she had made up. I didn't even make any sense what so ever…
"Oh dear how awful, the Mad Hatter wont be pleased to hear that. OH SPEAKING OF THE MAD HATTER! He misses you dreadfully, he wont even have a cup of tea anymore with me and Gajeel-Mausu. (meaning mouse: in Japanese.)" Looking sadly over to the still sleeping black haired man.
This intrigued Lucy even more to figure out who this mad hatter was. Knowing it was a boy it could've been anyone at all. Listing off all possibilities, Loke, Gray, Elfman, Freed, Bixlow, and so on and so fourth. The window creaked open from above, a large stature of a man landed with a thump to the floor. As if he had cat like reflex's. Lucy couldn't believe what she was looking at as her mouth was gaped wide open. A long suit black suit that was tailored perfectly in every seam. His shirt unbuttoned to show his fine tan chest by the way that was very tone. Muscles bulged from the suit, sort of. While a large hat was place on the top of his head. Making his pink hair look even better than ever. Never once did he see a hat over his head. Maybe his muffler from time to time playing Ninja in her room but that was all. A cane in his right hand, as black sleek shoes were polished to perfection. Lucy couldn't believe it was the man she was looking for by chasing a dumb cat down a rabbit's hole falling into a sea of dream. Just to see his idiotic face again, Natsu Dragneel. But she had to admit he looked pretty damn hot with a suit on. Not to mention the hat just intensified his cuteness ten fold.
A blush was clear on her face as the man came closer to examine her. This made her turn to Erza's hair color. "Luce, is that you?" As he scanned the women before him up and down making her turn away slightly at the way he was just taking her in.
"Who else you idiot…" Responding to his question.
A smile as wide as Lilly's appeared on his face. He was ecstatic. Pulling her into a hug, her squeezed her tightly. Burring his nose in her golden hair he took her all in. The familiar scent of her, and the way she always felt against his chest. His White queen had finally returned.
"Y-You found my scarf…" Natsu tugged slightly.
Lucy had completely forgotten the scarf was even there. With the whole wonderland thing going on never did she once realize she was still wearing it. Breaking the hug she pulled off the scarf folding it neatly. As she handed it back to Natsu. The pink headed man laughed joyfully happy to reunited with the old fabric. That was it his suit was complete the only thing missing was Natsu's scarf. Without that he wouldn't be Natsu.
"Thanks Luce…" The Dragon slayer stated.
Moving closer to her, he grabbed her shoulders tightly. Pulling her closer, but what she didn't except was what happened next. It was a kiss, her first to be exact. Her eyes were wide, she knew Natsu was dense but this changed it all! Pushing their bodies more together, as her chest and his met. The kiss deepened making Lucy's eyes flutter raising her hands to his shoulders. Kissing back with the same passion as his, the blonde felt sparks fly. Taking a more bolder move, as her bit her bottom lip teasingly. Earning a gasp out of the mage. Slipping his tongue in her mouth to do a little exploring. It left like her stomach itself was burning of anticipation for something more to happen. But the fire was quickly out as he broke the kiss. Both gasping for air, "Welcome back Luce." The dragon slayer said through breaths.
A giggle came out of Levy as she was so use, to seeing the Mad Hatter and the Queen kiss. Lucy on the other hand heard nothing but the sound of Natsu's voice. It was only him and her in this world.
"It's… good to be back" Lucy played along. If this was a dream she hoped it would never end.
