Chapter Three
Dream Interpretations and Matchmaking
At Fairy Hills…
Wendy, Charle, Bisca, Juvia, Levy and Evergreen had joined up for a sudden sleep over in one of Erza's rooms after hearing Lucy was staying the night. Of course the girls were told of the assumptions.
"Hmmm… I think your right, Levy." Bisca said while patting a snowy white rabbit in her arms.
"Bisca, no pets allowed. But for now I'll let it pass." Erza was scratching the head of a lion cub who was purring on her lap at the attention. "Levy, why don't you show us the map?"
Levy shook her head, "I can't, Master borrowed it. Guess that means we are indeed going to Dark Cove. All I can tell you is the place I saw him staring at is the forest area near the sea."
"Speaking of sea, Lucy why don't you tell the girls about your nightmare." Erza said to the stellar mage. Nodding, Lucy told the story once again while hugging Plue.
"Oh, Lucy you must have been so scared." Wendy said to the blonde, her eyes wide with worry. Bisca was now hugging her bunny also worried at the realistic feel of the nightmare. Evergreen on the other hand asked, "So does Natsu sleep with you all the time?"
Blushing, Lucy answered, "It's not like we share a bed. He sometimes sleep on the couch or on the floor. Or on the bed if he gets there first."
Juvia squealed in happiness, "You sleep together in the bed?" Charle was now covering a puzzled Wendy's ears.
Face red as a tomato Lucy shouted, "NO! We don't sleep together in the bed. Well, except when I can't push him off the bed or when he comes later than I do." Shaking her head Lucy realized that no matter what she said the sleeping arrangements would indeed cause some sort of misconception. Looking at the delighted Juvia though Lucy couldn't help but think that now maybe the woman would stop calling her a love rival.
Evergreen was grinning mischievously at the now day dreaming Juvia. "Juvia, maybe you ought to take a leaf out of Natsu's book." At this the girls laughed except for a serious looking Levy.
Juvia on seeing this caused her to tear up a little as she asked, "Levy do you also like Gray-sama?"
"Huh? What? Oh, no. I was trying to figure out the elements in Lucy's dream that's all."
"Eh? The elements what do you mean Levy-san?" Wendy asked.
"Hmmm. Well if you listened to Lucy the most realistic parts of her dream had something to do on the sea, falling and drowning." Rising up from her seat Levy went out of the room.
"Where is she going in a hurry?" Charle asked the others to which Bisca answered, "To get a book most likely."
True to form, Levy did come back in the room holding a worn out book labeled "Dream Dictionary". Muttering to herself Levy quickly flipped the pages. Suddenly the girl slammed the book down exclaiming victoriously. "Here it is Lucy. Dreams of the sea, prognosticate unfulfilled anticipations, while pleasures of a material form are enjoyed, there is an inward craving for pleasure that flesh cannot requite."
Erza was blushing at this while Evergreen was chuckling merrily. Wendy was asking Bisca what this meant which caused the green haired woman and Juvia to redden up. Charle was glaring at Lucy as if it was all her fault. The stellar mage was currently burying her face on a pillow in clear embarrassment.
Clearing her throat, Levy continued on "To dream that you sustain a fall, and are much frightened, denotes that you will undergo some great struggle, but will eventually rise to honor and wealth; but if you are injured in the fall, you will encounter hardships and loss of friends."
Tapping a finger to her lips Evergreen said, "Well at least Lucy wasn't injured at the fall." The girls were now all looking at the shocked Lucy.
Grimacing, Levy read "To dream of drowning, denotes loss of property and life; but if you are rescued, you will rise from your present position to one of wealth and honor."
"B-but Lucy-san wasn't rescued in her dream." Wendy choked out.
"That's true Wendy but didn't Natsu woke her up before she could drown in the dream? Couldn't that be taken as a form of recuing?" Erza said comfortingly to the distressed girl.
"Erza-san is right of course! Plus Lucy-san you have me. Juvia, would be very willing to teach you how to swim or put a spell on you so that you may float safely on the water no matter what." Juvia said all this with conviction.
Lucy looked up at Juvia touched at the offer. "Thanks Juvia. I'd appreciate that a lot!"
"You do know that at times dreams can also be a form of premonition." Charle said this quietly. Looking at the white Exceed, the girls wore a look of worry at this.
Grimacing once more, Levy pointed out to the others, "The test of courage is going to be held near the sea. Juvia you might want to put that spell right now in advance. Also I can show you all, spells on making light and others that would be helpful if you get lost in a forest."
All the girls were grateful to this. Unbeknownst to them, a bird outside the room was earnestly listening to them. After looking at the girls taking notes on spells and practicing them, the bird took flight and headed for the guild.
The bird soared through the night and into an open window. Touching ground the bird took to human form. The bird had taken the form of a silver haired woman. She then relayed all she heard to Mira and Makarov.
"Nee-san, maybe it would be better if we choose another spot."
"Lisanna is right, Master. It'll be safer if it were somewhere else."
"No. Mira, everything has a reason. Even if we decide to change our plans sooner or later Lucy will have to go through it. With most of the guild there she'll be safer than ever. Also you'll just have to make sure she's paired with the best person for the situation." He said the last bit with a cheeky smile at Mirajane.
"I understand, Master. Come on Lisanna, I'll need your help for this one." The two went out of the door.
Smiling, the guild master looked up to the night sky muttering, "Dreams, huh? I wonder what the stars have to say about that."
Ahm.. the dream interpretations were found in ... Strangely, enough it went well with the nightmare i made for Lucy..
