It was past midnight and Lucy and her friends said goodnight to each other before going to their rooms. Lucy was sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face. She was relieved that Cana was back or else they would have called the police. What would she do without one of her best friends? What's important is that she is with them safe and sound. But they also need to be careful if they bump into Cana's childhood friend, Laxus was his name.
Anyways, Lucy was having a wonderful dream, a dream she never wants to wake up from. She was dreaming of her being a princess of a wealthy family and meeting her prince charming on his white horse, coming to her rescue when she was captured by a feared dragon, to slay him and marry her.
Suddenly, her phone rang, making Lucy jump and almost falling off of her bed. She quickly grabbed her phone, too tired to look at the caller I.D. and answered it before it woke up the others.
" Hello? " she asked tiredly, eyes half opened.
" Hey, Luce! " Lucy's eyes widened upon hearing the familiar cheerful male voice and the nickname.
" Natsu?! " she whispered-yelled. She quickly but quietly ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
" Who would you thought it would be, Santa Clause? Of course it's me, dummy! " he laughed from the other line, making Lucy angry.
" Look who's talking! You woke me up at- " she looked at her watch. " -5 in the morning?! Are you crazy?! "
" Hey, don't yell at me! Okay, so I called you early in the morning, but that's because I didn't had the chance to call you earlier and talk to you. " he said and Lucy remembered now that he was feeling ill all night.
" Oh yeah, I remember you weren't feeling well last night. How are you now? "
" Good. Mom gave me a pill and some soup she bought from a restaurant. "
Hearing this, Lucy smiled. " I'm glad. I was worried about you. "
" Were you? " he teased and Lucy blushed.
" I-I mean, you didn't have to eat too much sweets, you know! But you never listen, do you? " She scowled at him and he pouted.
" Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I won't eat sweets again. Besides, I don't think I can eat sweets for the next 2 months. " he said and Lucy giggled.
" Good for you. "
" Anyways, I wanted to talk to you. "
" Can't it wait a little longer? I mean, it's still early, and you seriously have to sleep. " She rubbed her eyes.
" Just for 5 minutes, Luce! And I'm not sleepy. " he pleaded. Lucy scolwed.
" Well I am. You woke me up from a beautiful dream. "
" What were you dreaming about? " he asked.
Lucy thought if she should tell him or not. She signed. " It's about how I'm the princess of a kingdom and I'm being saved by my prince charming from a scary dragon. "
" ... dragons aren't scary. They're awesome. " Lucy couldn't help but giggle.
" How would you know? "
" It's true. I read about it in one of my mangas, about a fire-breathing dragon that is so strong that no one can defeat it but a dragon slayer. " Lucy only shook her head with a smile on her face.
" Whatever you say then, dragon boy. " she heard him chuckle from the other line, making her heart beating fast.
" You know. I had a dream too. " At this, Lucy raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
" Really? About what? " she asked.
" It's about a princess who is locked up in a tall tower and guarded by a dragon. " Lucy could only blink.
" Oh, and I'm guessing the princess was waiting for her prince charming to come and slay the dragon and save her? "
" ...yeah... But like I said, no one can defeat a dragon but a dragon slayer. " Lucy signed and rubbed her forehead.
" Yeah, that I understood. " she yawned. " Natsu, I'm going to sleep. Can we talk like after I sleep well? "
" Aww... fine then. You don't want to talk to me. I get it. " he was disappointed.
Lucy shook her head. " Don't be silly. I'm really sleepy and I want to sleep so I'll call you when I wake up, alright? " she said. Natsu signed.
" Alright. " Lucy smiled.
" Try to get some sleep, okay? "
" Yeah, sure. "
" And Natsu? "
" Yeah? "
She took a deep breath and said "I can't wait to see you. " with a slight blush on her cheeks. She could feel Natsu smiling widely from the other line.
" I can't wait to see you too, Luce. "
" Later then. "
" Yeah, later. "
He hung up. Lucy sat down on the floor and bit her lip. She was really excited to see Natsu and spend more time with him. He is so kind, childish sometimes but cute, funny, handsome-. She remembered her and Lisanna's conversation. She didn't know what to think. She barely knew Natsu, but then again, he was way different than her ex-boyfriend. The thought of him send a shiver down her spine. That jerk. How she wished she would never see him again.
After her break up with him, she became quiet and distant from men, only hanging out with girls. They all thought about going on a vacation for a few days or weeks for Lucy to get her mind of things. But when she met Natsu, it's like it was only the two of them. Something about him made her think that he's not like other men, he was different. The way he treated her, how he gave her a nickname, which she liked, how they were holding hands and felt warmth and electricity through her body. Just thinking about him made her blush furiously.
She slapped her cheeks and winced. That hurt. She was really stupid. She looked at herself in the mirror and splashed cold water on her face before opening the door, she nearly screamed when she was Erza in front of her.
She put a hand to her chest. " Jeez Erza, are you trying to give me a heart attack? " she said. The red head only rubbed her eyes.
" Sorry Lucy, but I need to use the bathroom. "
" Did I woke you up? " Lucy asked.
" No, you didn't. When I woke up, I noticed you weren't in bed and thought you were in the bathroom so I waited for a few minutes. " Erza stared at her and saw she was holding her phone.
" Were you talking with someone? " she pointed at her phone.
Lucy smiled nervously. " No, I was... playing a game. " Erza stared at her before blinking. She shook her head.
" You really are a weirdo. " she entered the bathroom and Lucy signed in relief before going back to bed. She layed down and stared at the ceiling for a while before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
