Okay, so this is a new project I decided to work on. I know I should really work on my previous ones but I just really need to get this out so bear with me.

"A New Reality"
PROLOGUE
XXXXXXXXXX
"Ahhh!" Natsu jolted up from his bed. Beads of sweat was trickling down from his forehead to the side of his neck, his chest was heavily heaving and his muscles had become tensed.
'Just a dream' he thought as he relaxed a bit. He ran his hand through his messy rose-colored hair and took in a normal amount of oxygen getting his breathing back to regular.
"Will you stop screaming in the middle of the night?! I'm starting to get a headache!"
Natsu's eyes widened and he quickly roll of the bed, his butt hitting the cold floor hard.
"W-what are you doing in here?!" Natsu yelled pointing an accusing finger at the 'Stranger' laying on his bed as he backs away on his bottom.
The 'Stranger' groaned. "It's the 3rd night. You'd think a guy is already used to it by now." the 'Stranger' sighed and turned its back to the pinkette while pulling the blanket to cover herself more.
"Hey! Answer me dammit!"
The 'Stranger' sat up and glared daggers at the pinkette which sent shivers down his spine as he gulped.
"Look! It's 3am and I'm not in the damn mood to explain everything to you AGAIN and you don't have a freaking amnesia so I'm sure you know what is up!" The 'Stranger' hastily laid back down and covered itself once again with the thick blanket. "We have an early start in the morning and I do wish to get enough sleep. So if you don't mind getting back to bed and sleep!"
The 'Stranger' was right. He does know what is up. His dream wasn't a dream at all, it was a recollection of the events of three days ago it's just his mind just doesn't want to accept it or it's really having a hard time registering everything.
Natsu stood up from the floor and approached the edge of his bed.
"I'm not about to sleep next to you." He remarked crossing his arms over his clothed chest.
The 'Stranger' sighed for what seems to be the umpteenth time tonight. "I don't see what the big deal is, you were sleeping next to me earlier, what makes now such a difference?"
"I'm not sure and at this point I don't really care, I'm just not going to sleep next to you" Natsu replied giving a huff.
"Then go sleep at the couch if you want, to be honest, I could actually careless whether or not you wish to sleep next to me." The 'Stranger' yawned and closed its eyes.
"Why don't you sleep there? That's my bed!" Natsu exclaimed.
"I don't care! I'm not sleeping at a couch! Now Good Night!"
"This is stupid..." Natsu sighed and laid back on the bed preferring that over having to sleep at the couch.
"I'm not too fond of this either." The 'Stranger' remarked. "I'm also a victim here if you're forgetting but at this point, there's just no backing out anymore." The 'Stranger' sighed. "I haven't fully accepted this reality as well but I'm coping, I have to. That's all we can do right now because whether we like it or not..." The 'Stranger' trailed off and opened its eyes then closed them again "There's just no way out."
Natsu blinked and sighed again before closing his eyes. " I suppose you're right... Well, Good night"
No more exchange of words were heard after that. The room was once again filled with a serene ambience and so the night turned to a day.
~•~•~ 7:30 AM, Mavis High ~•~•~
Gray eyed his friend suspiciously as he was walking timidly with his eyes closing and opening every second and a yawn emanating from him from time to time.
"Dude, you look like you didn't get sleep. Are you alright?" The brunet asked while his eyes was still focusing at the zombie-like pinkette beside him.
"I'm fine. Just coping" Natsu answered stifling another yawn.
"Still not over that? It's been 3 days.."
"Dude, I'm 16 and suddenly all this shit happened! 3 days isn't exactly enough to deal with it." Natsu remarked grabbing hold of the strap of his bag.
"I'm just saying, don't let it get to you too much"
"I'm trying."
~•~•~ Principal's Office ~•~•~
"Are you ready for your first day honey?" A platinum blonde beauty with an ample bust said while placing a comforting hand at a girl's shoulder.
"Yes Ma'am" the girl nodded. It was her first day at this new school. Luckily, it was the start of a new school year so she wouldn't have a hard time catching up to anything. But, she is very intelligent so catching up was a piece of cake for her but still, she was really glad that the circumstances had been different.
"Oh come now, didn't I tell you that you may call me Mom?" The blonde assured giving a small pat to the girl's back.
"Y-yes, Indeed you d-did M-mother" the girl stammered hiding a faint blush that had painted her pale cheeks.
The woman smiled. "I'm sorry, I know that this is too much for you to take right now, it feels as though we're putting way too much weight on your shoulders, I apologize for that." She said giving a light squeeze to the girl's shoulder.
"It's okay Mother, I have anticipated something like this so it's not much of a big deal now." The girl replied with a smile of her own.
"You're a strong girl, I'm sure he will learn a thing or two from you." The woman giggled.
"Well, classes are about to start, your classroom will be the same as his, that should help in the development department now, right?"
"I suppose so, but he is quite stubborn." The girl said shaking her head slightly.
The woman giggled again. "I'm partly to blame for that, he got that from me."
The girl raised her eyebrow then soon giggled at the blush that covered the woman's cheeks.
"I expected the term like Father like son, I didn't know Mothers have a better influence."
"Well, he is my baby boy, neh?" The woman winked.
The door opened and in came a young male with orange hair.
"You called for me Principal?" He asked politely giving a small bow to show respect.
"Yes, Hibiki, please take her to room 2-A." The woman requested.
The male nodded. "As you wish Principal Mavis." He then faced the girl and gave her a small smile. "Good Morning, I am Hibiki Laytis of class 3-B, I'm the senior's class representative and I shall help you in the duration of the Junior's representative's absence."
The girl only nodded in understanding before fixing her stuff.
"Shall we go?" Hibiki asked and the girl stood up. "We'll be on our way now Principal Mavis."
Mavis nodded and gestured for the two to exit with a placid smile across her beautiful face. "Have a good day honey."
~•~•~Class 2-A, Mavis High~•~•~
The classroom was already abuzz. Students coming in quickly got in with their own group and started to aimlessly chat. In the middle of the room was Natsu and Gray's group.
The two were conversing about the usual stuff with a few girls and some guys around them. The girls consisting of the usual Lucy, Wendy, Meredy, Levy, Cana and Juvia while the guys are consisted of Loke, Romeo and Gajeel.
Soon the room door opened and in came their homeroom teacher, Gildarts Clive.
"Looks like Daddy's teaching~" Natsu snickered at the brunette beside him who responded by swinging her right hand across the back of his head.
"Shut up pinky."
"Alright! Settle down and get back to your seats everyone!" Gildarts exclaimed gesturing for his students to follow his orders. He grabbed a stack of paper and arranged it neatly, pounding it down on the table a few times.
"We have a new student joining us this year." He coughed which got everyone's attention. Everyone already starter their mini chats about this new student.
'Oh hell no!' Natsu screamed inside his head. He wish he was wrong.
"Alright, you may enter now." Gildarts remarked and in no time a girl came passing by the door. The boys were awestruck with her undeniable beauty and her elegant ambience that was embracing her.
'Shit.' Natsu thought.
"Well, ain't she a looker." Cana whispered to Natsu who was sitting in front of her.
"Go introduce yourself Miss." Gildarts said motioning for the girl to speak.
She cleared her throat and faced everyone with confidence as she introduced who she is.
"My name is Erza Scarlet Dragneel, I transferred here from Era High, It's nice to meet you." She bowed and everyone had curious looks painting her face. Then a student raised her hand and asked.
"How are you related to Natsu-kun?"
"Well, I am..." Erza trailed off.
'Damn it!' Natsu stood up and dashed forward wanting to stop her before it was too late...
"Natsu's wife.."
And it was too late.
Then there was silence.
To be continued.
