Lucy's P.O.V

It's been three weeks since I stayed in Rogue's house. It's been quite fun since Rogue and Frosch are not-so-bad after all. They treated me like a real family and made me feel at home. Still, something bothers me that this isn't over yet. I still have far so much to learn about my dream and this forest. I think kind of meaning as I do say so myself. I missed my friends. I wonder how they do.

Well, every morning I love how the bird chirps; the water flows every time I heard them. And every night I love how the cold breeze blow my face and lying on the grass and looking at the stars with Rogue and Frosch. It's what you could ever wish for.

Lucy...Lucy…

I heard my mother calling my name. She is standing by the door, gesturing me to come forward. The room behind her is lighted. It's like it's been lighted by thousand of light bulbs. But then the surrounding changed. Slowly she is being pulled by thousand of black hands. The surrounding is turning red. Shadows began appearing and started to drown my mother with darkness. They started chanting my name. I was screaming. I opened my eyes to see Rogue was shaking my shoulders.

"Lucy! Lucy! Wake up!" Rogue asked with confusion.

"Rogue it was terrible! They took her!" I exclaimed and sob on his chest.

"What happened?" he asked shocked.

"My mother they took her!" I exclaimed.

"It's, okay Lucy its just dream. You can sleep next to me if you want."

I stopped crying and dried my eyes. "O-okay."

I helped him moved the pillows that keep the distance between us and move them to the other side.

I cuddled next to him. I closed my eyes and started to dream once more. I dream about counting sheep. What a weird dream. Then come rainbows, cotton candies and 'smores. I can even hear a familiar snore then I realized that it was me.

Rogue's P.O.V

I feel so tipsy. I didn't even have a wink of blink. I can't sleep with her. She kept on smushing my face and kicking my ass. But it's all I could do for her to stop crying. I tend to do anything but try to hide it. Hey, I'm shy. And I don't want her to know yet. Probably, maybe she thinks I'm a coward.

Wait a minute! Should I ask her if she know me? Mmmm… Too risky.

I opened my eyes only to see that Lucy has already cook breakfast. I could smell the fresh scrambled eggs from here.

"Good morning, sleepyhead!" she shouted just as I opened my eyes.

I grunted in annoyance and walked in the bathroom. I stretched backward then came a crack. Crcck…

My back is getting old. Probably, because Lucy has been kicking it last night. But I don't mind. Anything to make her stop crying. Damn! It hurts. I went outside only to see Lucy and Frosch waiting for me in the table to eat.

"Join us, Rogue. Let's eat" Lucy gave me a warm smile.

I pulled a chair and sat down quietly while Lucy put smashed potatoes on my plate and scrambled egg.

Awkward silence filled the air.

"Thank you for- um…. Comforting me last night." Lucy stuttered awkwardly.

"You're welcome… I guess."

"Seriously, thank you."

"Okay."

I don't want it to be awkward so I just continuously eat my food. Every time I talk to her there comes a huge lump stuck in my throat that I could barely speak. And always ending up glaring at her or not even talking. I just feel stupid when I talk to her. I haven't seen her for years and now she comes in the middle of the night in the forest and bumping into me?

That is just awkward. But in a good way.

Lucy's P.O.V

My nightmares just get worse to good. Last night I've been dreaming about my mother being pulled away by darkness. But when I kind of sleep with Rogue, I had a weird dream of Candies and Rainbows.

Well, he's a real softie you know. And I had this dream that I'm in a karate fight and there is this huge, tough guy. He looked tough but I beat him in karate by kicking him and punching him and I thought that did the stuff and knock him dead.

Whew… I was really tough in my dream without using my keys too! *blows fist.

Today Me, Rogue and Frosch were going to have a picnic outside near the waterfalls.

I prepared vegetable salad (Although Lucy don't use mayo, 'cause there is no mayo at all), fish steak, gooseberry pie, roasted mushroom. Rouge and Frosch helped me pack the foods. We put them in a hand-made basket. We all carry one basket of food each and headed through the forest. When we reached the waterfalls, we put down the baskets and placed them in the nearby rocks, which is not slippery. I unpacked the baskets and gave each of us a "leaf plate"

Everybody enjoyed eating and after that, we all cleaned up and agreed that we all should swim for a while. Good thing I wore my bikini inside my T-shirt.

Rogue took off his shirt and jumped in the water. I did the same when I knew he wasn't looking. I asked Frosch if he wanted to just put his feet in the water but Frosch said he would just stay in shore. So I walked to the water and the water is cold. Rogue is nowhere to be seen. Where the hell would he be?!

Rogue pop out of nowhere and scared me half to death. I just pretend that nothing is happening. That's when he blushed furiously when he saw me on bikinis and dove underwater once more. I don't know what is wrong with that guy. I deadpanned. He's kind of weird. But in a good way.

I just swam with Rogue for like two hours. And we all went home. With our belongings. Whew… we all had a good time having picnic even though it's a little bit of pain in the ass. For once….

Rogue's P.O.V

Seeing her in that outfit just made my nose bleed. Lucy Heartfilia… I like saying her name… Not trying to be a pervert or anything it just brought happiness to my ears. The days that I've been waiting for her, the weeks, the months and years even. But all those sorrows that I have been through were over. My tears that I had all shed just for the people that I loved. They were gone but the tears brought Lucy here. I just can't believe that I met her twenty years from now. I don't suppose that she love me. How could she love a stranger that she doesn't even know? Who would ever learn to love someone like me? I want to try to be friendly from now on she's always been nice to me so why shouldn't I?

Lucy is washing the dishes after all of us had just eaten and she said she preferred to wash the dishes rather than making herself a nuisance. I helped her to put the dishes in the sink.

"It's okay Rogue, I can handle it." Lucy gave me a warm smile like she always do when she wants to do something by herself.

I was not sure what to answer. I just didn't respond and let her do it like I always .Shit! I am so angry I want to kill myself to death. I haven't even tried to be nice to her when she's very nice to me. I cursed myself in the bathroom and brush my teeth angrily. I beautified myself and after I finished I opened the door and went inside the room.

*Silence

No sound at all you could hear the crickets chirp.

Everyone just ignored and went back to sleep.
