...

Lucy woke up, feeling warm and snugly in the comfort of her pillow. Her eyes slowly fluttered open before snapping completely open when she took in her surroundings. She wasn't in the woods. She wasn't in a hotel or even a bed. Lucy was on a mountain sleeping on her pillow, which had wrapped itself around her. Lucy turned the pillow to see a...

"S...SPID...DER!" Lucy squealed in fright.

She bolted up and ran away from the huge spider which was chasing her. Lucy ran and ran until she saw a palm tree which she climbed up eagerly and wrapped her limbs around. Then the tree raised itself up. Lucy's eyes widened as did her mouth.

"T...tree. What are you doing?!"

"I'm not a tree."

A musical voice had replied to Lucy. Lucy blinked and looked beneath her to see scales. She looked left and right and saw wings. She took a quick glance at the bottom and saw a tail. Scales, wings and a tail, she mused. It almost looks like a...

"DRAGON?! I wasn't dreaming yesterday?!"

"Welcome back to the real world." The voice from before sarcastically replied.

"Oh, shut up!"

"Luuuuuuuccccccccyyyyyyyyyyy is a weirdo... Whoooooooooooooooo has a weird hairdo..." The voice said in a singsong voice.

Lucy blushed profusely and got off the dragon. She slapped her cheeks and gazed at the dragon. It was beautiful yet fierce. With its golden scales, shining wings and piercing golden eyes, the dragon was a breathtaking sight.

"Take a picture. It'll last longer."

This snapped Lucy out of her daze and she shuffled her feet embarrassed.

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Lucy Heartphilia. I am Tsubaki, dragon of the heavens and you are my apprentice dragon slayer. So, let's start training!"

"W...wha-." Lucy was cut off when the spider which had been hiding sprang up and nearly fell on her.

"Training phase number one: running. A celestial dragon slayer must have great physical capabilities meaning good endurance, good flexibility and many, many more." Tsubaki said, with a cheerful tone.

Lucy didn't say anything. Rather, she couldn't because the number of spiders had multiplied and then tripled. Her voice got stuck in her throat as at least 100 spiders were staring at her with their eight eyes.

"FU...-"

"Don't swear! Say something else. Like fudge! Yes, say fudge!" Tsubaki demanded.

"FUDGE! FUDGE TIMES INFINITE!" Lucy sprinted for her life, with Tsubaki soaring above her watching her pupil.

"Why are you making me do this?! Leave me alone!" Lucy pleaded.

Then, suddenly everything stopped. Tsubaki had politely asked the spiders to leave and then swung her golden eyes on Lucy.

"Are you absolutely sure about that Lucy Heartphilia? You yourself said you wanted to get stronger. For yourself and your friends, if I'm not wrong. If you do not want to be my pupil, I will not force you. So, Lucy Heartphilia what will you do?"

Lucy looked at her hands. Frail and pale. A rich lady's hand. She clenched them and looked straight into Tsubaki's eyes.

"I'll do it! I'll be your pupil and become the celestial dragon slayer!"

Tsubaki nodded and then smiled, a mischievous smile which had Lucy moving backwards cautiously.

"Spiders! You can come back out now! Let the training begin again!"

"Tsubaki! You knew my answer! I HATE Y-"

She was cut off by the spiders which were now only a few metres away. She scurried back and then turned on her heel and sprinted screaming.

"FFUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDGGGG GGGGGGGEEEEEEEE!"
