Lucy arose to the sound of Natsu's loud and obnoxious snoring in her ear, and his hand between her cleavage. A soft blush ran across her already rosy cheeks as she pulled out his hand, sitting up. A soft and gentle yawn escaped the blonde as she stretched her arms out, getting to her feet. The sound of giggles came from around a tree straight behind her.
"Hehe, Carla! S..Stop it! Y..You know I'll.. Ahaha! Hahaa! Stop!" Wendy cried out, almost in tears as she squirmed on the ground, kicking her legs as Carla tickled her belly. "You're so vulnerable, Wendy! Cover yourself u- Ahahaha!" Carla began to giggle uncontrollably as Wendy started tickling her belly. "Now who's the vulnerable one!"
Lucy smiled at the girls, leaning her weight on her left leg. She decided to join in on the fun, tickling Wendy's neck and Carla's ear as she sat beside the two, starting to giggle herself. "H..Hey! No fair! Ahaha!" Lucy cried out as Wendy began to tickle Lucy's neck, aswell as Carla's belly. "S..Stop it! Ahaha!" She yelped once more, almost in tears.
"What's goin' on out here?" Natsu aksed with his raspy voice as he walked out to the girls, along with Gray, Happy, and Erza. "Haha, you guys are hopeless to be left alone." Gray commented, resting his body against the tree. Erza smiled at the girls as they finished up, hopping to their feet. "Well. Where are we going ne-" Wendy's face went red, lowering her head as she placed her arms around her stomach as it growled. "I guess I was hungrier than I thought.."
The fire was crackling in the near distance, cooking up food not only for Wendy, but for the six other wizards and cats. Lucy looked up from her lap, which was filled with a flower crown of daisies, to be greeted by Natsu's face. Only, much closer than she wanted anyone's face to be. "Ah! N..Natsu, you scared... me?.. Natsu? Are you okay?" Lucy waved her hand in the Dragon Slayer's face, only to have her wrist grasped by his. He sniffed her wrist, then looked back up into her confused and slightly scared eyes. Natsu forced her body down onto the soft, green grass below. Lucy folded a leg above the other as Natsu began sniffing down her body, causing her to squirm and struggle under his grip. "Natsu! What are you doing?" Erza yelled at the Dragon Slayer, only to be confronted by the odd words. "Lucy smells different." His grip loosened as Lucy meekly spoke. "Y..You're hurting my hands.." And with that, the odd wake up was over.
"What do you mean she smells different?" Gray asked as he helped Lucy up, who, despite the unbearable cold of Gray, clung onto him for dear life. "I dunno.. She just.." Natsu replied, not knowing how to describe it. Wendy walked over to Lucy, gently grabbing her hand and sniffing. "..She does smell a bit different.." The young Dragon Slayer added, letting go of Lucy's hand. "I don't think I smell different." Lucy remarked, looking to Wendy then to Natsu. "Well, you do." Natsu said swiftly, turning to Erza, who had a furious look on her face. Erza grabbed him by the ear and dragged him to her face. "Apologize to Lucy right now!" She whisper-yelled at him. "But I don't need too! She's not upset or anyth-" Natsu turned around to see Lucy staring at him in a soft fear. "...Sorry." He said gently, and it seemed that it was forgotten. But Lucy knew that something was up. And to be honest, she was kinda happy. Her real wish was starting to come true.
