Why do I feel so hot? Lucy thought to herself. And, why do I feel like there's a pressure keeping me down? Lucy opened her eyes to see two people holding her down while three others were about to ki- "NATSU!" Lucy kicked the two people off of her and jumped on top of Natsu before they could stab him in the chest. She got there right in time, at least, for him.
"Lucy? Lucy? Lucy!" "Huh what? I'm up, I'm up." She opened her eyes to Natsu and Happy standing right next to her bed with worried faces. "What's wrong, something happen? What did I miss?" Happy started laughing and Natsu looked annoyed "I told you she was fine but, noooo, Natsu knows when Lucy is in trouble, doesn't he?" Happy said, mockingly. "Guys, seriously, what's going on?" Lucy asked "You were screaming in your sleep." Natsu said. At that moment, Lucy had remembered her dream. She started trembling with fear "Hey, you ok Luce?" She stayed silent. "Helloooo? Anybody home?" Natsu said, waving his hand over her face. Tears started dwelling in her eyes "N-no, please, don't, k-k-kill him!" Natsu and Happy looked at each other with confused looks, Lucy, still wide eyed and staring off into space, snapped out of her gaze. She wiped the tears that had escaped from her eyes. When she looked up again she said to Natsu "I-I thought you were dead. Or I was dead, or one of the two." "Lucy, it's alright, it was just a dream." As he said that, he couldn't help but wonder, if that was really the case. When he looked over at Happy, he knew he was thinking the same thing. There was an awkwardly long silence. "Come on! Let's get back to the guild!" Happy said, breaking the silence and flying out the window. Lucy, still trying to take in everything, sat there, wide eyed. "Uh, I'll, uh, meet you there!"
As Lucy sat at the bar, wondering about her dream... "Natsuuu!" "Lucyyy!" The two reached for each other's hands but- "Hi Lucy how are you?" Lucy was dragged out of her gaze by the soft sound of Mira's voice. "You ok? You seem pale." "Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking." Was it really just a dream? "Hey Lucy, what's up?" She looked over her shoulder and sighed "Gray, your clothes!" "Crap!" "After all these years, he still does that? You would think that you would've learned by now, Gray." Lisana giggled. "It's a bad habit ok?! And I don't see you trying to help me get out of it!" "Aw, come on Gray, can't you take a joke? Sometime you can be such a baby!" Even with Gray being a baby, Lucy couldn't smile, no matter how much she wants to, she couldn't smile.
