It was noon when Lucy's parents left and let the doctor checking on her after she woke up.

She had been told that she was in a coma state for almost 6 months by now, and she was in a critical condition for most of it.

The doctor sent her for some exams to make sure there is nothing wrong and to get her ready to go home.

A few hours later her parents came back while she waited for the results.

"How are you feeling daring?" Layla asked as she stroked Lucy's hair.

"I really feel good, you don't need to worry anymore" Lucy replied with a smile.

"It's hard not to worry dear, we couldn't speak with you for half a year!" Jude exclaimed, walking closer to hold her hand.

"I'm sorry" Lucy mumbled.

" you were probably worried sick over me, haven't you?" She asked and hugged them both.

"It's all good now, it's all ok" Layla replied, hugging back with Jude.

They started to update Lucy on what has happened after the accident.

Michele, her cousin that was with her on that day had sadly passed away.

Loke and Aries, her friends from school, started dating.

her aunt, Aquarius, is going to get married with Scorpio in about 8 months.

Taurus opened a farm not too far from the city.

Cancer is still the best hairstylist in the area.

Virgo started college as she promised Lucy before the accident, even though she really wanted to stay by her side at the hospital.

Sagittarius is still teaching archery to kids at elementary school with his weird horse costume.

Gemi and Mini opened the cake shop they planned for over 2 years.

Libra started to teach dance just as she promised Lucy a long time ago.

Capricorn was still working with the Heartfillia's but he became the second in command to Jude.

And Pisces had become a manager of the aquariums in Magnolia's Zoo.

All in all, everything was good, and Lucy started to realize the connections she made from her dream to her real life.

She felt dumb thinking Natsu was real, he was probably just the one guy she would never meet.

The perfect one.

The one she belonged too.

"We are going to go now, we want to get the house ready for when you return" Layla said, snapping Lucy from her thoughts.

"We will come back tomorrow to check up on you" Jude added with a small smile.

"Okay, Have a safe trip home! Love you" Lucy said smiling and hugging each of them.

"Love you too" they both replied and left with a wave and a smile.

Lucy sighed and laid back into her bed. She looked at all the teddy bears and flowers she got and blushed.

'Thank you, whoever you are' she thought as she smiled at them.

She decided to take a nap for a while since she had nothing better to do until the results came.

After 15 minutes, she heard the door open but decided to stay still so that the nurse would leave her to rest.

"I'm happy you woke up" A voice said, a very familiar one.

"I guess I won't tell you bedtime stories anymore, although we still didn't get to the part of the dragons, but maybe someday" Lucy heard the voice say and then she heard a chuckle.

'there's no way...'

Lucy couldn't make herself turn around, a big part of her afraid she is wrong.

"I'll see you at school maybe? Although you probably won't have any idea who I am.." Lucy heard the last part mumbled but clear enough.

'he goes to my school? Does Loke know him?'

"I just hope you will get well soon, even though I liked spending all this time with you, telling you stories about magic and dragons..." The voice mumbled more but Lucy could hear every word.

Just as Lucy was going to turn around and see who he is, she heard the door open and shut.

Disappointment filled her as she cursed herself for being a coward.

"If that was him, I'll have to get to know him other than in my dreams" Lucy told herself with determination in her eyes.

"If it's you, I will make sure to be by your side" Lucy said smiling.

"If it's you, Natsu, I'll make sure to love you here just as much as I loved you in my dream"

With that, Lucy went to sleep with a smile plastered on her face.

Little did she know, that a certain pink haired boy was listening right outside her room, and while he blushed, he grinned his biggest grin yet.

"I hope you do it Luce"

He left grinning like a goof and went home to get ready to see his friends.


"Wake up sweetheart" Lucy felt a light nudge on her shoulder.

"What?" Lucy mumbled and rubbed her eyes.

"Oh, my lord, thank you!" Layla and Jude sighed in relief once Lucy opened her eyes fully.

"What? Why?" Lucy was confused.

She was still at the hospital, so how could something bad happen?

"you slept for 19 hours" the nurse at the back said as she noticed my confusion.

"19 HOURS?" Lucy couldn't believe it, she took her phone and saw it has actually been 19 hours since she decided to take her "nap".

"You are still weak from the coma state, it's possible and its okay you rest as long as you do move as much as you can so your muscles won't get too stiff" The nurse explained and went closer to the bed.

"You have to get orthopedic treatment once a day for the next 2 weeks while in the hospital and then 3 times a week while you're home" The nurse said with a smile.

"When do I start?" Lucy asked eagerly, She can't wait to move her body out of this bed.

"your first appointment is in at 6 PM today, it's in 2 hours" the nurse informed as she checked her papers.

"Great, thank you" Lucy smiled at her and she smiled back before leaving.

"Oh, Lucy dear, you scared us so much!" Layla said running to her to hug her.

"Come on now Love, you heard the nurse, it is a normal thing" Jude said to calm his wife down although Lucy could see he was stressed too.

Lucy laughed and assured them she is fine.

They talked for an hour and everything and anything until they bit their goodbye to let Lucy rest before the appointment.

As they walked out of the room, Lucy could hear them greet someone, but she couldn't hear who that was so she shrugged it off and tried to stretch her whole body before she had to move it for the first time in almost half a year.

10 minutes later, Lucy heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" Lucy called and say a man wearing a jacked with the hood hiding his face come in.

"Sorry but, who are you? I just can't recognize you with your hood like that" Lucy said as she tried to see who it might be.

The man didn't say anything, he just gave her a letter and left.

Lucy felt perplexed by it but opened the letter as soon as he left.

Hello Lucy!

Sorry I can't talk to you, I'm kind of really shy.
I the one who gave you the presents and told you stories when you slept.
It's weird to say 'slept' but, it's easier to think about it that way...
I hope you will feel better soon, I had a lot of fun talking to you.

get well soon and stay safe.

The handwriting resembled Natsu's in Lucy's dream, which made Lucy blush and tears to gather in her eyes.

"No, I still don't know for sure if its him, I still don't know anything about him" Lucy told herself as she tried to calm herself down.

It works after a few minutes and before she knew it, she was sent to her appointment.
