Dear mom,

Today was an interesting day for Natsu and I. The rest of team Natsu is still recovering a little more before picking up another task. Natsu and I decided to go ahead and take a quick task to ourselves before we did a quest with the full team.

We chose a simple task in Valia, one of the neighboring towns. Someone had requested us to test a new type of magic out It seemed like an interesting task so we quickly gathered a few things and made our way towards the small town.

As we ventured on, I was thinking of the dream I had a few nights ago. I recalled the dream being something about my future, but I don't remember what it was entirely about. The sudden thought made me curious as to what Natsu's dreams were for the future.

I decided to ask him about it. He took a few moments to collect his thoughts. His face sunk at first...I think one of them was to find Igneel. I grabbed his hand and tried my best to cheer him up. I told him how I wanted to be the greatest author in the world and that I also wanted to be a great Fairy Tail wizard. Natsu looked at me and smiled. He told me that I had already become a great wizard. He wrapped his arm around me as finished his sentence. I'm pretty sure that I was blushing so badly that it looked like I burnt my face.

As we continued down the road, Natsu mentioned how he had the same dream; to become one of the greatest wizards Fiore would ever know of. It was his biggest dream. He also mentioned that he had another, but he didn't know how to word it so he would tell me when he was able to.

An hour passed before we reached the small town of Valia. Several wooden homes stacked themselves along the main road. A few children were seen playing with their toys while their parents worked out in the nearby fields. When we came up on the house that the job mentioned, Natsu gave a soft knock on the door. Within seconds, the door opened to reveal an old man standing before us.

He looked up at us and smiled; welcoming us in as he began talking about this magic of his. He guided us to a table, where a small crystal heart rested on a stool as its centerpiece. The old man began to tells us that the crystal contained an unknown magic: one that could show it's user the things he or she desired the most. The old man then asked us to hold it in our hands and see if it worked for us.

Deciding that I would go first, I carefully picked up the fragile heart; its cold and solid figure rested in the palms of my hands. As I gazed into it, I saw the dreams that I just finished telling Natsu about. I could see myself writing several books and being recognized as one of the top wizards. The last thing that I saw was Natsu. He gave me a smile and reached out with his hand. I froze at the sight of everything that I had just seen.

I don't know what kind of magic it was, but it works like the old man said it would.

I stood amazed at the crystal while Natsu gave it a try as well. I knew when he saw his desires as his face lit up in shock and surprise. He put the crystal down on the table and turned to the old man. He told him that the object works like he said. The old man smiled and gave us our payment for the task.

As we began our trip back, Natsu paused and told me that he finally figured out what his other dream was. I looked at him with a piqued curiosity. He walked forward a little only to turn and face me. He said that the crystal helped him figure it how to say it. As he looked me in the eyes, he began to tell me his dream, I can't help but remember it word-for-word.

"Lucy, my other dream...is to be able to have a happy family and grow old together with the love of my life...you, Lucy. That is my other dream."

As he finished his statement, he extended his hand to me. I felt as if this was deja vu. Despite how badly I was blushing, I took his hand and walked up to him. As soon as we were side-by-side, we continued to follow the road back to Magnolia as the sun began to set.

It was a beautiful sunset.

I'm glad to have met Natsu! I don't know where I'd be without him. I'll write to you again soon!

Your daughter, Lucy Heartfilia
