NATSU's P.O.V.

Dreaming of a Nightmare I've experienced before. If I am right, we are going to Drosta to see the Strauss Siblings. Could it be? Lisanna is there? Can I finally meet her once more. I closed my eyes to see the stars beaming out of the sky. I looked at my side. Lucy's head was on my right shoulder. Her breathing made me happy. I looked at my front. Droopy Eyes or Gray was also sleeping with Juvia on his shoulder. Carla, Happy and Charles were sleeping.

"Natsu?" A female voice asked.

"Yes, Erza?" I looked at the front. Erza was worried.

"Is something bothering you?"She asked. She didn't stop driving the horses in her front.

"Guess, we could rest here. We're partially out of track. I know Knightwalker would think we're going West. I'll stop the carriage. Wake the others." She said.

"O-Okay." I patted Lucy's head gently that startled her quite.

"We'll be stopping for the night. Go wake up the others." I smiled.

I stepped out of the carriage and I set-up the tents. I've heard yawns and stretching bodies.

"WAHHH!" Gray and Happy screamed.

I turned around. "What?" I asked.

"Since when did you become so RESPONSIBLE? I thought you'd just let us do it" Gray gasped.

"Aye! You should sit down" Happy led me to a rock where I could sit down.

"Is something wrong Gray and Happy?" Erza glared.

"S-Shouldn't Natsu just sit down and let us do the work?" Happy asked.

"No, In this Journey, there's no special treatment for somebody. Am I right Natsu and Lucy?" Erza asked.

"Yes!" We said in Unison.

"Okay, Natsu gather some firewood. Lucy, please assist Wendy and Juvia cook the food. Gray and I will be setting the tents. Got that? Also, Charles and Happy get some of our mini tableware inside the trunk." She pointed to the trunk.

"Got that" Charles flew to the trunk.

"Aye! Charles let me carry the heavy ones while you carry these." He pointed to the forks spoons.

"Hmph, sure he-cat." She took one.

I walked to the forest. Every movement, I could hear and sense. Within this dark forest, Monsters watch us. Suddenly, something was flashing on the bushes.

"Whose there or more importantly, what's there?" I stepped forward. I gulped; there's no reason why I should be scared. I am the Prince of Dragons; a Dragon Royale. Dragons are the Kings of Monsters and Creatures. So why be scared? Suddenly, a small blue light came out.

"Prince Natsu" It spoke.

"A Fairy" I smirked.

"What do you want, 'lil one?" I tapped the head of it using my index finger.

"Ouch! Well, Igneel sent you a message" The fairy put out a glass mirror.

"Wow, Now I look like the Evil Witch. What am I going to say? Mirror Mirror on the Floor whose the fairest of them all?" I made a joke.

"Ha-ha how funny" The fairy said saracastically.

"Well, Here it goes" The Fairy put her hand in the front and a blue light shimmered her hand that transported Fairy Dust on the Mirror.

Suddenly, something illuminated. It was myself.

I mocked the Fairy. "It didn't work". The fairy sighed. "Say the Dragon Royale Rites."

My mouth became an 'O' because of the realization.

"As the Sun and Moon Illuminate the Reflections, transfer the power of the dragon king, ignite the power in me. Transport thy magic of the Dragon god, Igneel to cast away the evil among us. Let the Stars guide our future. Shine, Ardwin the Rites of the Dragon Royales!" Suddenly, the mirror gleamed.

"Hello my dim-witted son" Igneel's face shone.

"Dad! I miss you!" I smiled.

Igneel coughed. "I think you're forgetting something"

I put a confused face. "Forgetting what? Oh yeah, my crown!"

Igneel roared. "No, It's your mission!"

I remembered. My Mission was to capture the Princess of Magnolia, Lucy Heartfilia. A Rival of mine who has the same vision, which is to protect the world.

"My m-mission" I mumbled.

"I've been setting Fairy Scouts. They said you've met a that true, my son?" He asked.

I gulped. "Yes, Dad"

"And I am assuming that she is the Princess of Magnolia?" He asked.

I looked down. "Yes."

"Then bring her to us. You will be a King sooner." He glared at me.

I gulped. Who should I trust? My friends who've I met already; those people who cherished me even after they knew I was part of the Dragons and Lucy? Who treated me nicely? Now that I've been crushing on? Or my fate- With the Dragons? To seat righteously at my throne; with all the Dragon Royales bowing down to me. But a life without love?

"Father, I'll bring her so-"

"No, Natsu. The war is coming and you rather have both of you wondering in the Human World? You're insane. I do not want to see my son killed by the hands of the Humans. You know that I still love the humans but I don't want your foolishness be the reason why I'll despise them more." He growled.

"But, Dad. They're all nice to me. Lucy, she's a sweetheart! You think killing the humans would resolve to a balance? It would cause chaos! They are living in fear." I pointed out.

"I don't want to see you killed, my son. They are killing the dragons, the mysterious creatures that surround them! And The Dragon Slayers! Would you want to see your Dragon Royales be bathed in their own blood?" He asked.

"No." I said in a deep voice.

"I'll ask you this question." He asked.

"Do you love that Heartfilia Girl?" He asked.

I stuttered. Do I love her? Does she mean a lot to me? Was it right to love her even if we're rivals?

"I don't know" I said.

"Then rejoin me if you know the answer to that question. You must not love the girl… Humans and Dragons will never love.." He mumbled.

"Goodbye, my son. See you, sooner" He said.

"Goodb-" The mirror didn't flash anymore. Even if I was talking to my dad. I felt like someone was watching in dad's place. It has a black shadow with eyes.

I sighed. I took some firewood and I went back.

"What took you so long? We had to use our emergency firewood!"Erza yelled.

I flinched. "It was hard to find" I lied.

"Anyways, let's all eat!" Lucy toasted her mug.

"Yeah!" We all said except me.

2 Options that has 3 Answers. Who should I side and live forever?

After seeing Wendy wash the dishes. My friends started to sleep. Lucy, who was on my right, was sleeping.

"Mama, I have a lot of friends" She mumbled.

I smiled weakly. Will I dream about her again? As the fire started to light out. I took some firewood and casted a fire on it.

I slowly drifted off to sleep. Looking at the star.

In Natsu's Dream:

I gasped. I sat up. I looked above to see the naked sun trying to burn my eyes. I covered it with my right hand. As I look straight, I heard giggling noises. I followed it.

"Gray? Erza? Lucy? Charles? Happy? Juvia? Where the hell are you?" I shouted.

Suddenly, I came out of the forest to see myself playing with Lisanna.

"Lisanna?" I gasped. It was another mini-me playing with Lisanna!

"Lisanna, you're not fair! Why are you throwing mud on the prince?" My mini version asked.

"You're not a Prince! You're my friend!" She giggled.

"Why you-! I will throw d-flowers on you!" My mini version took some flowers and threw flowers on her head.

Suddenly, they ran to this small hill with a mini house on top of it. I remembered this scene, it was 11 Years Ago. When we were both 7. I decided to follow them.

"Natsu!" She called for my mini version.

"Yes, Lisanna?" He smiled.

"If we're old enough, let's have kids!" She giggled.

I blushed, as well as my mini-version.

"W-what?!" He said.

"Just joking, Natsu!" She hugged him.

"But if ever it will happen, I want 2 Kids! One Girl and One Boy!" She tugged his shoulder.

"Let's live on this hill together" She mumbled; she looked at my mini-version and she smiled.

Suddenly, the scene changed.

"Natsu?" An older version of Lisanna said. This occurred 4 Years Ago.

"Yes, Lisanna?" My 14 Year Old Version said.

"I have to break our promise" She cried out.

He boiled. "Which is?"

I knew the answer. Lisanna's gonna leave me. She's going to aspire the dream of becoming an actress and a performer as well as her siblings.

"To live with you.. forever" She mumbled softly.

He hugged her. "Don't leave me, Lisanna! I thought promises are not meant to be broken!" He stated out.

"I got to pursue my dreams. Remember me talking about being a performer? Well, we were given a job!" She said.

"Let me come with you!" He affirmed.

She refused. "No, Natsu. Mirajane said we can't have an extra when going. It was really designed for 3."

Then I saw a younger version of Mirajane; totally badass. "Plus, it's our job, Natsu. We can handle it. I know you're just going to mess it up."

As Mirajane and Elfman put their bags on the carriage.

"Which will you choose…. Your Job or a Life with Me?"He asked.

She stopped walking away. She turned around and said "My job. Plus, I don't love you.. Natsu. We're just friends, right?"

I cringed. "Stop it!"

No one heard it. I still remember this.

"Goodbye, Natsu." She waved.

I cried.

Suddenly, I woke up. I felt the early morning air brushing my skin. I touched my face. I was sweating.

I went to the forest and I changed. I was wearing my old clothes; A Closed Long-Sleeved Waistcoat with gold trimmings over my chest, white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on my left wrist, and a black open-toed sandals.

"Natsu, You're up so early" Lucy rubber her puffy eyes.

"Even you, Good Morning Luce" I went near her.

"I'll wake up the others. You should take a bath, you're smelly" I faked-covered my nose. Nahh, she's not smelly, she smells like Red Roses; so perfect.

She slapped my shoulder gently. "Natsu!"

"Just kidding, but still, go take a bath" I smiled.

She sighed. "Fine, but no peeking"

I nodded.
