Nobody POV
When Lucy reopened her eyes, she found herself standing on a small island abundant with flowers of all different kinds arranged to look like star. The island was upon a great lake, a lake of dark blue water, but crystal clear and very beautiful in color. Lucy watched fishes swimming suspended in the clear, beautiful dark-blue water. Some were pale fish, some frightening-looking, like centipedes swimming, and some were dark fish, of definite form, and delightful to watch. The water seemed to sparkle, making it look oh so inviting to the human eye.
The blanket of navy sky overhead was as clear as it could possibly be with constellations side by side surrounding the small island in a circle, with the softly glowing moon nestled in the midst of it all. A smell of jasmine drifted up from the ground, making the whole place a wondrous fantasy.
"Wow...this place is absolutely beautiful," she looked around in awe, her brown eyes lighting up at the sights. "I know that it's only a dream, but still...wow..."
Lucy looked around the area for a while without moving from where she was standing until something snapped her out of her thoughts. Or rather, someone.
"Lucy!"
"Huh?" Lucy heard her name called out, and tried to place the voice before recognizing it. "Is that you, Lisanna?"
"Where are you, Lucy? I can't see you!"
"I'm over here, Lisanna!" Lucy spun her head around, looking for the ivory haired girl, but couldn't see her either.
"Come to me, Lucy! I'm over by the telescope!"
The celestial wizard wandered around the small island looking for the telescope Lisanna mentioned, eventually finding it.
The telescope was built into a large tree, its leaves shaped perfectly like stars. Its skeletal boughs twisted and glittered like brass coils. Its great bole curved this way and that, sprouting new branches that birth a pale green, creating luscious leaves that sparkle in faintest light, and designing a collection of sweet fruits and fragrant flowers. Its massive roots danced in and out of the dirt in abstract waltzes and minuets as they gripped the hard ground with strapping and powerful limbs. With its great boughs it strives to touch the sky, and with its noble roots it strengthens its hold on the ground. And Lisanna happened to be seated on a branch, using the device to gaze into the night sky.
"I'm here!" She shouted, earning Lisanna's attention.
The takeover mage looked up from the...well, let's call it the telescope tree. She looked over from the telescope tree and turned around to face her. Two branches that acted as the telescope part of the tree retracted into the tree and disappeared.
"Lucy! There you are!" She sounded so happy to see her friend. "I was beginning to think you had left!"
"I would never leave," Lucy reassured her with a smile. "Especially not when you're waiting for me."
"And I'm so glad to hear that!" Lisanna exclaimed, before going over to her and eclipsing her in a tight hug. "I'm also so happy to see you!"
Lucy awkwardly hugged her back, as she didn't expect Lisanna, even if it was a dream version of her, to hug her or be this happy to see her.
"I'm happy to see you too?" It accidentally slipped out as a question.
"What's the matter, Lucy?" Lisanna pulled away, a concerned look on her face. "You sound like you're upset...did I do something wrong?"
"No, no! It's alright!" She quickly reassured her. If Lisanna was anything like her older sister, Mira, she would guilt-trip people with big, fake tears to get her way. And while Lucy had never seen Lisanna do such thing, she wasn't about to let her guard down just yet. "I just wasn't expecting you to hug me, or be this happy to see me after all."
"A friend can't be happy to see their best friend?" Lisanna tilted her head with a confused look on her face.
"They can, but you're acting like you haven't seen me in years," she explained.
"Oh...sorry," Lisanna got a sad expression as she looked down at the ground. "Are you okay?" Lucy asked, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"No...I got too happy and now you're gonna leave me..." Lisanna softly, before turning her back to the blonde.
"What? I'm not gonna leave you," Lucy assured the girl.
"You aren't?" Lisanna spoke hopefully, looking over her shoulder.
"Of course not! Friends make mistakes sometimes, and one mistake doesn't mean that I'm gonna leave you forever," she smiled at the white haired girl.
"So we'll be friends forever, right?" Lisanna didn't turn around to face her. "And you'll never leave me, right?"
"...right." Lucy delayed her answer due to a chill running down her spine. Was she cold? She didn't feel cold. She wondered if there was a dream Gray around making her feel that way.
"Yay!" Lisanna cheered in happiness as she turned around, and was about to hug her but stopped herself. "So what do you wanna do first, friend? Do you wanna look at the stars? You wanna go swimming? We can do anything you want here~!"
"Hmmm...how about we look at the stars?" Lucy suggested. "That sounds like fun. And you know how much I love stars."
"Then I'll let you be the first to look through the telescope!" Lisanna's hand phased through the tree and she pulled out the branch that she was looking through causing the other branch to extend itself from the back of the tree as well.
"Thanks," Lucy said with a smile.
"No problem!" Lisanna responded enthusiastically. "Anything for a friend!"
Lucy walked past Lisanna and looked through the telescope into the night sky. She told Lisanna about everything that she was seeing excitedly, but after a few minutes...
"Friend? What's happening to you?" Lisanna had a worried tone to her voice as Lucy's body began to fade.
"Oh...I must be waking up," Lucy pulled away from the telescope tree to look over herself.
"Waking up?" Lisanna frowned. "Awww...will you come visit me when you fall asleep next time?"
"I don't see why not," Lucy smiled.
"Then I'll be waiting right here for you!" Lisanna exclaimed with a happy smile on her face. "I'll see you when you fall back asleep!"
Lucy then disappeared from the dream world, rendering Lisanna all alone on the small island; the smile disappeared from her face as soon as Lucy was gone.
"I miss her already..." She frowned. "But I guess I can at least be glad about what she said."
Lisanna looked through the telescope tree, but rather than showing her the stars in the sky like it had done for Lucy, the telescope tree showed her the world of the awake.
"We'll be friends forever and she'll never leave me," she told herself. "So I'll never be lonely again."
A smile stretched across her face as she watched Lucy get woken up by the real Lisanna.
"And I'll make sure that she stays true to what she said," she smiled, but this was a different smile then before. This one had a much more...darker look to it. "I'll make sure that she will never, ever leave me."
Lucy POV
I woke up to the feeling of a hand on my shoulder, shaking me.
"Lucy, come on...wake up."
I groaned and cracked open my heavy eyes to see Lisanna sitting on her knees by me; once again, I felt like I hadn't slept at all.
"Lisanna?" I asked wearily. "What's the matter?"
"I found a way out of here," she whispered, taking her hand off my shoulder. "I had to put a hole in Juvia's wall, but it isn't that big so I don't think she should mind too much."
"A way out? What are you talking about?" I asked as I sat up while rubbing my eyes.
"Juvia's keeping us prisoner in her house, remember?" The takeover mage reminded me.
"Oh right...let's..." I was cut off by a yawn. "Let's go."
"You okay, Lucy?" Lisanna asked as she got up off the floor.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." I reassured her. "I'm just...tired..."
"After you took a nap?" I nodded in answer. "Did you have a nightmare or something?"
"I don't remember," I didn't remember my dream at all.
"Well, even if it was a nightmare, it's still weird," Lisanna pointed out. "Anyways, get up...we have to get out of here before Juvia comes to check on us."
I got up off of the floor and crawled through the small hole that Lisanna had put in the wall after Lisanna had crawled through.
Once we were out of Juvia's house, Lisanna and I walked away, with me sluggishly traipsing behind her.
"Well this has been a pretty eventful day," Lisanna spoke up after awhile of walking. "But unfortunately, you're too tired to hang out and honestly I'm not too up for it either after having been kidnapped by a yandere."
"Should we reschedule it?" I asked her.
"Of course we're gonna reschedule our hangout!" She answered enthusiastically. "How does three days from now sound?"
"Sounds..." I was once again interrupted by a yawn, longer this time. "Sounds good."
"Then three days from now it is," she declared the new date for our hangout. "Try not to forget, alright?"
"Alright..." I responded sleepily.
Lisanna and I came across my apartment building and I trudged towards the door.
"See you later, Lucy," Lisanna bid goodbye, waving to me.
"See you later..." I said back.
I slowly made my way to my room and went inside, closing the door behind me.
Home sweet home... I thought to myself.
I slipped off my shoes and didn't bother changing into my pajamas as I collapsed onto my bed and fell fast asleep, hoping that I would actually feel rested when I woke up this time.
Review plz?
