"Nacio-san! Wait up!" A blonde girl with chocolate brown eyes tried to catch-up at the running man.

"Lucinda, how many times do I have to tell you? You can't use magic to play tag!" The man who's called 'Nacio' growled as Lucinda's spirit: Taurus helped her.

"Hey, you have wings while I don't, that's also called cheating!" Lucinda pouted.

"Well still, it's my win, Lucinda." Nacio teased causing Lucinda to pull his long pink hair.

"You look like a girl, Nacio!" Lucinda glared.

"At least I don't have jiggly chest!" Nacio smirked, causing Lucinda to cover up.

"You—I hate you so much, Nacio! I don't know why you wished to be a mage when you're obviously a drago-"she was cut off when Nacio hugged her tightly.

"You're too insance Lucia. I'm happy you didn't call me by my real name to think that I'm a Dragon Prince." He sighed as he inhaled the scent of her—a mixture of forest and strawberries.

"Well that's what friends do.." Lucia held his hand, Nacio at first became stiff about Lucia's sudden movements toward him. Nacio wasn't an idiot about relationship.

"You mean this is what best friend do…" Nacio shared his cape as he felt that Lucia's hands were cold. Lucia giggled slightly as they walked to the edge of the cliff.

"You know…Nacio I don't even know if we are still best friends." Lucia admitted, causing Nacio to think about what she said.

"You mean…you do hate me? As your rival?" He asked, Lucia shook his head as a sign of disapproval.

"No…you know that I'm a sucker for romance..You know that I love you, right?" she said as she gazed at the sun that's about to rose down from it's mighty sky.

"I-I am aware but…" Nacio sighed.

"But?" she asked as she glanced at his onyx eyes. His long pink hair that is tied was flying backwards, he avoided her gaze, knowing that he might kiss her senselessly and claim her his.

"You know that I'm a dragon and dragons don't marry-"

"Dragons don't marry princesses….Just like those fairy tales…Dragons are the evil characters on every Princess stories..." she sighed.

Nacio was hurt in the inside. He was a dragon that had the mission to annihilate the Princess but he refused knowing that she wasn't worthy to hold the title 'to-be-massacred'

"I know that your purpose too was to kill me and my purpose was to kill you, Nacio-san..but we ignored right? We ignored our people's demands and trends..we even break rules of our own kingdom's decree. Remember that our power of friendship is strong right? That even our daughter's daughter or son's son or anyone would recognize us for being brave. Someday we can prove to them that we are not traitors. All I'm asking is…I hope we don't be rivals like what our fathers did to us.." a tear fell from her eye, what Nacio didn't like about girls was if they cry and he was the reason.

"I love you, Lucinda Aurelia Heartfilia and I will never ever put you into dangers…okay?" he kissed his forehead before smashing his lips onto hers.

"I love you too…" she smiled.


ERZA's P.O.V.

After days being inside the carriage, we all felt the hunger and thirstiness. Juvia became weaker and she was dehydrated, we learned also that her body was water she can actually dehydrate under the sun if she wasn't at her source—water. Juvia even offered Gray to drink her since she was water and we were all aware of how caring Juvia can be at Gray though Gray declined. Wendy was also weak since she wasn't able to eat regularly when we were in prison.

"Erza…how is it possible that you don't look weak unlike the other days?" Juvia asked as she put her palm on Gray's forehead to feel a little bit refreshed.

"I'm a tough nut after all, I can't just have a weakness of food. I've battered myself up with this kind of situations before, I didn't even eat for a month before." I chuckled as I felt my stomach grumble. I was lying about being a tough nut, okay I am a tough nut but I just can't reveal all of my weaknesses.

"How's Lucy, Natsu?" I changed the topic. I glanced outside of the bars to see a dessert. I hissed knowing that if we regained our magic we can still be dehydrated and die in the dessert.

"She's becoming fine now..Though I don't know why she's smiling at her sleep." He said as he brushed the sweat on her forehead.

"She's probably dreaming that she's still a princess." I tried to joke, but Natsu just covered his face with his bangs that were now flat.

"She isn't…one time I heard her saying Lucinda. Like c'mon she can mumble her name or my name or anyone's name!" Natsu snarled.

"You're jealous with the Lucinda?" Gray smirked slightly.

"Am not." He blushed slightly.

Then I heard it, the sound of gunshots and explosions, I listened carefully.

"Gun Magic: Tornado Shot!" A man who looked like a cowboy shot Knightwalker's knee.

"There's a man out there who picked up a fight on Knightwalker." I announced knowing that there might be small hope.

"No one's the best on accuracy but only us! We're the Cowboy Duo!" A guy with jet-black hair announced.

"Duo? You seem blind or is it because of your idiocy that you think you are two?" Knightwalker rudely said, accusing that the man was blind.

"Or you're the one who has that idiocy? Requip: Magic Sniper Rifle!" A woman with green hair unleashed a gun. She realized that she can also do re-equip but only guns.

"Target Lock-on." She smirked.

"Go, my Bisca!" The man cheered.

"Of course, Al. Homing Shot!" She shot a big blow at Knightwalker's direction causing dust to scatter all around us. I tried to look where they were but nothing was seen. Could this be a massacre? Then the carriage opened, revealing the two.

"Hello friends! We're here to rescue ya'll from that demon..your sister?" she asked me.

"No, my..counterpart or something." I said.

"Okay, well let's all hurry before those Silly Knight Patrol is going to come!" She said.

"Howbout Knightwalker?" Wendy asked.

"Oh that girl? I've implanted some amnesia on my bullet. She'd lose all of that memory." She smirked.

She's smart, I thought. We need comrades that are smart and tactical. She and the guy shot our cuffs and we ran for it. Somehow, we've retrieved some magic but only ¼ of it. We followed them and we saw another vehicle.

"Come on, it's our carriage! We won't hi-jack you or sell you to Bosco or something.." The man said.

"Alzack, stop saying rude things!" The green-haired female smacked his arm.

"Okay, Bisca." The man named Alzack said as his horse galloped fast, Bisca was inside the carriage helping us in aid, thank Earthland that she had a first-aid kit.

"Where are we heading?" Juvia asked as she cooled down Gray at the side.

"We're heading at San Antonio, Fiore. It's at the West Bound near Hargeon… there ain't a sea at this place, I pity you Water Mage." She winked at Juvia.

"H-How'd you-"

"You guys are on the Wanted List, don't you know?" she said.

"We've been watching you and 'Prince Natsu' and we, our town doesn't even give an approval about this. Don't worry about disguises, our Town is in favor of you and your team." She said.

"You mean-"

"We're not rebels, to say it clearly but we don't like the idea of you guys being wanted! Heck you guys were amazing!" She cheered.

"We actually got an individual mission from our sheriff( since he heard that you guys were passing by) to get you and aid you back to our town, lucky though that crazy woman was easy on the legs to hit." She said.

"She's not easy though.." I hissed.

"You've got a cat fight with her?" she asked.

"Yeah..something like that. She must be exhausted that she can't fight seriously." I said.

"Oh, we'll try to keep her out of her business sooner. Anyway, I'm Bisca Mulan Connell and that guy is my husband, Alzack Connell. We are the Wicked Cowboys of the West!" She said.
