Part II : Sleeping Beauty
Once upon a time there lived a good king and his queen. They had no children for many years and were very sad.
Then one day, the queen gave birth to a lovely baby girl and the whole kingdom was happy. There was a grand celebration and all the fairies in the kingdom were invited. But the king forgot to invite an old fairy. She came to the celebrations but was very angry. Soon it was time to gift the baby with special wishes. The good fairies wished her well and said, "May she grow to be the most beautiful girl in the world! She will sing sweetly and dance so well! She will live happily!" All the fairies blessed the baby and gave her beautiful gifts.
When it was the old fairy's turn, she said, "When the baby is sixteen she will touch a spindle, and die!" The king and queen were shocked and begged the fairy to forgive them and take her words back but the fairy refused to do so. When the other fairies saw the king and queen crying, they said, "We cannot undo what the old fairy has spoken. But we certainly can make it different. Your child shall not die when she touches the spindle. But she will fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years. Then, a prince will come along and wake her up." Hearing this, the king and the queen were relieved. The king forbade everyone from spinning so that the princess would never touch a spindle. All the spindles have been burn and never been mention in the kingdom ever again.
As everyone would known the princess grew up to be a kind girl and helped people in need. Everybody loved her. Years passed.
And now she were sixteen year's old. The princess with blond golden hair sleep nicely on bed. Then come the maid to wake her up.
"Princess! It time for you to wake up!"
Lucy start to stir in her sleep. "Hmm.."
With that the maid leave the room. Going to prepare the bath for the princess. On other hand, Lucy start to open her eyes. Slowly she look around her, trying to figure up what going here.
The she remember. "Oh yeah.. I'm in a book." She look around. "Where Natsu and Happy?" and what more important. What kind of story I'm in.
She wake up from bed. She walk around in her room. "What a big bedroom I have! Bigger then I have in story before. What am I going to be in this story huh.." and Natsu is nowhere to see.
"Hime.. the bath is ready." The maid come from nowhere. This time it virgo. Lucy just look at here shock. "Virgo!" Then she remember what virgo call her, so she is the princess(No, that what Virgo always call you!). She start to smile. Of course I will be the main character. Lucy laugh in her mind.
"Hime?" Virgo look worried. Is her princess eat something bad that make do that face?
"oh sorry.." now I have to think what kind of story I'm in. she start to tap her chin. The little mermaid already push aside. If not, how come I have leg. Red riding hood too. That leave snow white and sleeping beauty. Cinderella I already play. Now I just need to test.
Virgo look weirdly at Lucy. Lucy look at the maid, then ask. "Where my mother died or something?"
Virgo look a little shock. "No! The queen look really healthy and fine. Are you ok Hime?"
Then "do you know spindle?" Lucy ask again.
This time the maid look more confuse. "Are you sure you ok Hime? Did you eat something weird again?"
Lucy put a hand on Virgo shoulder. "Answer me!"
"No. What was that!?" the maid answer hurriedly while her been shook by Lucy.
Then Lucy stop. Then it is sleeping beauty. Then she start to sigh. I must watch out of something sharp.
"Hime.."
"Yeah.. I think I need a long warm bath." She walk slowly following Virgo. I just hope that I just be side character. She just mumble to herself. She just don't like to be hurt.
…..
Natsu just woke up in a middle of forest. Right know he was holding an axe. Look like he in the middle chopping some wood.
"Where were i?" he start to look around. Then he remember Lucy. Where were she. I think just now I'm sure with her. He start to sniff around.
"Urgh.." he pinch his nose. "Smell like ink!" he look around. "Then I still in book huh.." look like Natsu not as stupid as his seem.
"I must to find Lucy and Happy!" then he got up. He start to run aimlessly. Right now he just can trust his nose. Yeah.. it just how he always solve the problem.
….
After she done with her bath. Virgo already prepare the dress for her. She not doing it much, all be doing by Virgo. She a bit awkward. But all she can do it just brush it away.
"Come Hime.. the king and queen already waiting for you in dining room." Virgo just bow slightly. Instruct Lucy to follow her.
After the guard open the door to the dining room, show a couple the she know too well.
"Juvia? Gray?" she mumble. "They my mother and father?" this time Lucy question Virgo.
"Yes Hime. Now go!" Virgo just push Lucy inside before close the door.
"Ouuu.." Lucy just fell from the push Virgo give her. Tsk! I will get you back for this Virgo.
"Oh Lucy.. How come you fall. Come join us!" Juvia start to look at Lucy. Slowly Lucy get up and pat her dirty close before walk toward the chair in front of Juvia.
"Let eat." Gray said after Lucy her place.
Lucy still cannot believe her eyes. Juvia and Gray? How come. Then she look toward them. Urgh! The couple just flirting infront of her. Well if you look closely it just Juvia flirting with Gray.
"Come Gray-sama. Open your mouth. I will give you a bite." She start push her spoon toward Gray.
Gray already sweatdropp at Juvia behavior. "No. I can eat by myself."
Lucy just smile. At least they act the ways they always do.
"Lucy.. if you continue looking at Gray-sama with love like that, this fork will flying into your eyes!" this time Juvia look at Lucy intensely.
Lucy just shiver with the look Juvia give her. "Epp! No Ju- I mean mother!" well.. her behavior waayyss like herself.
"Gray-sama MINE!" she remind Lucy.
"YESS!"
Gray just sigh at Juvia. Then he look at Lucy. "Tomorrow you will become 16, Lucy. Don't go out anywhere. Just keep youself in your room!" gray start to say seriously.
With that Juvia start looking at Lucy softly. "Yes Lucy. Follow your father decision."
Lucy look a bit taken back. "But, I don't want to be lock." She then remember all her time being lock by her father. She will never let happen ever again. "That being no fair for me!" with that she got up and leave.
…
Time goes by fast. That night, Lucy just laid on her bed. She just sigh. Then she look at the clock. There an hour before her birthday. If she think carefully, they were doing it by her good. "Huh.. look like I just hold it for a day." But if she think about it, this story is sleeping beauty, so, I must sleep right?
Then she shook her head. Nah.. I can created my own ending. So it alright. Better then sleep for hundred years. Then she realize something.
"Wait? If I goes to sleep for hundred year. Then how about outside world?" all the time she here, the time flow alright, without have to skip anything. If she here for one hundred years, what will going to be?
Lucy start to pale. "No! I don't want to think about it." While she been doing the thinking, time start to past.
"I don't to waste my time here. I should go and find Natsu and Happy. They may somewhere in town or.." then she remember of the story. "If Natsu the prince, then he would never exist in the first place.." she spoke slowly. How would she do this. The tears came. The she shook her head. "No, there is no possibility about that fact!"
With that she start to goes to her window. This time she determined about her decision. She pull all her blanket or her fabric that she can use to make a rope. After a while, she think her rope to be long enough she push it out of her window after tie it to her bed.
Slowly she want to get out of her window, then she look at her dress. Before thinking twice, she rip it until up her knee. "It easy to move it like this." She smile.
Then slowly she climb down from her castle. How come this castle really high! "Don't look down Lucy.. Don't look.." she told to herself.
After a while, the blanket reach it end. She start to panic. She look down. "It still high. What should I do?" she can hold the blanket much longer. I don't have a choice. I must jump.
Lucy look down again. "Waa… I can't do it!" what should I do?
Before she can think another ways, from where she hold, the blanket start to rip. And now, just falling to the ground.
"Kyaaaa!" she scream. The tears start to falling down. Natsu!
"LUCEEEEE!"
Lucy look up. Natsu run a fast as he can, before catching falling Lucy. They all fell together, but Natsu protect Lucy with his body.
They all laying on the ground. Lucy start to get up from Natsu. She look at Natsu with tearing eyes. She hug him.
"You late!" she mumble.
Natsu get up slowly with Lucy still on him. He scratch his head and laugh, then pat Lucy head slowly. "Sorry.." then look at Lucy confuse. "Why you always falling!? If I not here what would you do. Geezz Lucy. What are you doing?"
Lucy just listen to what Natsu saying. Well I believe in you.
She then get up before clean herself. Then she look at Natsu. "Natsu, we must get out from here.." Lucy start.
Then Natsu look serious. "What do you mean? Is that why you were falling earlier?" Natsu suppress his emotion. How come someone what to hurt Lucy. Even if they were only the character in book, he will never let them go after they hurt his most important people.
"No. calm down Natsu" Lucy stop Natsu from get up. "Listen here carefully ok." With that Lucy tell Natsu everything. From what story they in to the consequence that might happen.
Natsu look really serious and nodding hearing Lucy talking. "Do you understand now?" lucy look at Natsu.
Natsu really thinking about it. "So.. what are you talking again."
Bam! Lucy fell to the ground. She smack his head.
"Ouuu.. What was that for?" Natsu rub his head. He pout.
"Don't look at me like that. That was for how stupid you are!" Lucy start to angry.
"That hurt." He pout again. Then he look at Lucy seriously.
"But I know one thing. That is never let your near spider!"
Buk! "Spindle aho!" Lucy smack Natsu again.
"Right, Spindle. So.." Natsu look at Lucy as he rub his head. "What Spindle?"
She hold her anger. Just be patience Lucy, he just stupid-head that you must handle. She take in a breath before let it go slowly. "Ok baka-Natsu. Just make sure that I don't get near something sharp ok?"
Natsu annoy the way Lucy calling her, but he just nod his head. Don't want to angry Lucy anymore.
"But Lucee.. if you know yourself how the story going to be, then should able to dodge it yourself, right?" Natsu try to give his opinion.
Lucy look at Natsu, her eyes got big. "What?" Natsu look at Lucy, weirdly.
"No. I just shock that you just say something reasonable. Are you sure you don't hit your head earlier?" this time Lucy touch Natsu head. Looking for a bump while rubbing his head when she remember that she just hit his twice.
"Hey! That mean.." he pout. But allow Lucy to touch his head. It just feel nice.
Lucy giggle. She put down her hand. Now Natsu start to miss her warm hand.
"Well Natsu.. you just said something wise. I will try to work on it." She then start to get up. "Let go Natsu, we don't hav-"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lucy look at around. That sound of bell. That mean.. "It my birthday!?"
Natsu get up. He grin. "Well.. happy birthday..?"
Lucy stare at Natsu, annoy. "No Natsu. That mean we really don't have much time! Let go! Let get out of here!" lucy start to get Natsu hand. She pull him to follow her.
"Relax Lucy.. what are running for? We just have to dodge the sharp thing, right?" natsu still follow Lucy.
"No Natsu. If it my birthday, from my reading. She coming!" she start to pale.
Natsu look confuse. "Who?" he start to match up Lucy.
"The evil one Natsu. Did you not hear what I'm saying before?" Lucy feel irritated.
Natsu catch Lucy hand. "What are you scare for? I'm right here right? I will never let anything happen to you.."
Lucy feel warm. She start to blush.
"Btw, you can reject her right? It not like you don't know spindle!" Natsu just laugh it off.
Lucy then think carefully. "Yeah.. your right!"
Bam! There smoke out of nowhere. Then there's Happy in middle of the smoke.
"Happy?" Lucy look confuse. Then she see look at something that Happy hold. Don't tell me.. "Happy, your witch!"
By Lucy done talking, Happy and Natsu just in their zone of reunion. They dance together. "Happy, where have you been? I don't see you anywhere."
"Aye! I'm always here Natsu. Just you can't see me.." Happy said it happily.
"What you mean by that!?" then Natsu notice something. "What that Happy?" then take it from Happy.
Lucy look terrified. "Natsu! Just don't bring it close to me!"
Natsu look confuse. "Why?"
"It dangerous!" she shout from far.
"Aye! It will make Lucy sleep. That what I have been told." Happy answer it. By then he already beside Lucy.
Natsu then remember it. "Oh! Now I remember." Then he put spindle down before walk toward Lucy.
Lucy still feel shiver. Something wrong. "Natsu, why you put it there? Just throw it or burn it away!"
Natsu look at Lucy. "Your weird Lucy. You know right I can't use magic here? Huh..i wish I could." He start to touch his stomach.
Lucy confuse. "Then how come Happy can fly!?" she point at flying Happy.
"Aye! Couse I'm a wizard!" Happy shout happily.
Lucy then realize. "Oh.. I forgot!" she smack her head. Then she shook her head. "Forgot about it, just let get out of here." She start to walk opposite of the spindle.
Before she could take another step. She stop. Natsu and Happy that follow behind, look weird. "Lucy? What wrong?" Natsu ask then wanna touch Lucy but before he could, Lucy already walk. But this time toward the spindle.
Happy look worried. "Natsu what wrong with Lucy?"
"I don't know. Luce!" he start to chase then grab her hand. But before he could do anything. Lucy just push him away until him fly backward to the tree. "Natsu!" Happy fly toward Natsu.
"Ouch! What a strength." Natsu get up.
"Are you ok?" Happy ask.
"Yeah" he look at Lucy. "Luce! What wrong!? Why are you walking toward the spindle!?" Natsu shout before chase after Lucy again.
"What a beautiful spindle…" Lucy mumble slowly. The spindle already infront of her.
Natsu run as fast as he could. "What are you talking about!? Stop talking nonsense. Get grip of yourself!"
Still Lucy don't listen what Natsu saying. It look like she had been under spell. "What a beautiful spindle. I want to touch it.." slowly her hand reach toward the sharp needle.
Natsu run. "Luceee!" buk! He flying backward again. This time not Lucy doing it. It look like there had an invincible barrier around Lucy.
"LUCEE!" shout Natsu when he notice Lucy start to fell to the ground. But before she reach the ground, she already in Natsu arm. Happy fly toward them.
"Luce? Luce? Wake up!" Natsu start to shook Lucy. But she don't open her eye. Happy start to tear beside Lucy.
"Natsu what happen to Lucy?" Happy look at Natsu sadly.
Natsu shook his head. "I don't know."
Happy start to cry. "Natsu. Why Lucy not breathing?"
Natsu eye wide. He look at Lucy in his arm. Them take his hand to Lucy nose. Not breathing. No way. This can't be happening. This must be dreaming. How-how can I let it happen infront of me? No no no no no "NO! LUCE! Wake up! Luce! Wake up I said! Stop joking around!" still no moving. Happy already crying.
Natsu eyes start to blur. "This can't be happening.. this.. i.." He remember at magic game before. And this time he fail again. He hug her tightly. No Lucy! It feel like his world really dark. Full of darkness. Lucy still in his embrace.
Badump! Badump!
Natsu start to blink. This can't be it. Then to make sure, he put his ears near Lucy hert. Badump! Badump! She still beating. Her heart still beating. Now he notice, Lucy still warm in his arm. How come this happen? She still alive?
"Natsu!?" Happy start to scream.
Natsu look at worried Happy. "What wrong?"
"Look!" he point at somewhere. He look where at Happy point it. His eyes wide. "What happen here?" all the animals laying on the ground. It not look like they dead. It look like.. "Nat…su.."
Natsu look at Happy when Happy voice really slow. He notice Happy laying on the ground. "Happy! What w..wrong…" he feel his eyes really heavy. I feel sleepy. Don't tell me this is… then Natsu fell beside Lucy. He look at Lucy before he close his eye. Lucy…
A dark figure come out from nowhere. "Sleep tight you three.." then they laugh before flying aways.
Look like a living thing in the kingdom already fell into deep slumber. Now look like the story begin. The princess just have to wait 100 years to wake- wait! Something wrong.
Natsu just stir in his sleep. He work harder to make his eyes open. Slowly he get up from the ground before take out the sharp big needle from spindle out of his knee. Look like Natsu just stab himself. All the blood come out from the way of the wound.
"Lucy.." he push himself toward Lucy before take her into his arm. "Lucy.." he call again. slowly he shook her. Still no sign of her wake up.
"What should I do Lucy.." he touch her forehead with his. He close his eyes. Trying to take Lucy warm. "what should I do.. please Lucy.."
"Remember Natsu! It just a small trick!"
Natsu open his eye. He remember something from what Levy told him before. I going to save you Lucy.

"Lucy!"
Lucy start to open her eyes. She came face to face with worry look of Natsu.

She look at the sad face of Natsu. "Natsu.." she reach then touch Natsu face. "What happen? Why are you look sad?" she ask slowly.
Before she could get a respond. Natsu already hug Lucy. He buried his face in the crook of her neck. With this sudden action, Lucy face become red. "Na na na na NATSU!? What are.."
She then notice Natsu look a bit trembling in her arm. Then she sigh. She slowly pat Natsu head. "It ok.. I'm right here.." she talk slowly.

Then she realize something. She push Natsu hard. "Ouuu.. what are you doing Lucy?" Natsu ask.
Lucy look carefully at Natsu, then she found it. "Oh my! Natsu! What going on?" she ask when she look at really bad wound on Natsu knee. It look like trace of stab. "Did someone stab you!?"
"No! It just that.."
Rip! Lucy just rip her dress AGAIN.. then without a word, she tie it around Natsu wound. Natsu look at how worried Lucy face when she try to look at his injured leg. He smile.
"Natsu!" lucy look at Natsu sharply. "Explain!"
"Gulp.. Oke…"

"No. it look like I under some spell. Who might.." then the two of them look at Happy.
Happy right were chewing his fish start to shiver. "What? That not me? I really don't know how to use that kind of magic!" he explain. "I innocent ok!"
Lucy stare at Happy before sigh. "Then if not Happy.."
Natsu start to thinking. That not Happy? I thought it Happy back then! (did you just forget that Happy fell asleep before you!?) Then who is they? But natsu just keep quiet about it. He really don't have evidence. But the smell is show that they are not from this book. That for sure!
"Hey Lu-"
Before Natsu could finish his word. Lucy already hug Natsu. She buried her head in Natsu chest. Trying to hide her blushing face. "Er.. Luce..?"
"I'm sorry Natsu, for what happen. And… thank you for saving me." Lucy say it slowly.
Natsu just smile warmly at Lucy. Happy there just rolled his eye. Just like I said. They like each other.
Before they could continue of what happen. There a bright light like before. Look like they already ending this story. "See you next story.." Lucy just mumble in Natsu chest.
