"Good morning Luccyy!" Vira greeted with a yawn. She was standing by the bedside while stretching her arms.

"Ughh… It's just a dream" Lucy felt half relieved and half terrified. Lucy sat up while rubbing her eyes.

"It sure sounded like one. Sounds like you had a dream with Natsu" Vira said teasingly.

"It's not like that!" Lucy yelled angrily. "It was more like a nightmare. Natsu said something strange. Next before I knew it he's caught on fire!"

"Caught on fire?" Vira assured. Lucy nodded. "Heh, it's just a dream—esté nightmare. Dreams are illusions too"

Vira stripped her pajamas off, revealing her usual black clothes. Lucy's jaw-dropped at the thought of Vira sleeping with two types of clothes at the same time. Vira walked out through the door with her black book on one hand and her pajamas on the other but when she was about to close the door she said "And dreams have meanings" Vira finally left the room.

Lucy pondered over what Vira said. Is it about her crush with Natsu? It can't be but still… he's the only one in the dream. She also remembered something about him saying "before it's too late" which confused her. Her head was swirling with thoughts.

A few hours later…

"Anything keeping you down Lucy?" Mirajane asked while whipping a glass mug. Lucy's head was lying on the counter out of anxiety.

"Nothing. It's just that I had a weird dream last night" Lucy replied.

"What's it about?" Mirajane asked.

"Rather not talk about it" Lucy answered tiredly. Lucy's eyes widened when she saw a shadow over the counter beside her.

"Hey Lucy! You seem down, anything happening?" Natsu said as he dropped his muscular arm around Lucy's shoulder which startled her but left her heart beating fast.

"None of your business, and didn't I tell you to not go grabbing people like that?" Lucy reminded as she brushed off Natsu's arm. Lucy walked off her seat.

"What's up with her?" Natsu asked.

"Maybe she ate bad fish" Happy replied as he chewed on a fish.

"Yah think?" Natsu said. "I guess she's in a bad mood… yet she's blushing" Natsu thought.

"I can't go on like this! Maybe this is what that dream mean-" Just then, Lucy bumped into Vira. They both fell on the ground but they used their elbows to avoid head impact. As Lucy sat up, a piece of paper landed on her lap. She read: "WANTED: ACTORS AND STAGE CREWS"

A few moments later…

"Why do I have to come?" Natsu groaned.

"Cause Erza left for a request on her own and Gray went on a mission together with Juvia. You're the only one available in Team Natsu anyways" Lucy explained.

"Yeah but come on! I can't take another acting job like this!" Natsu complained.

"Come on cheer up! At least we'll get 100,000 jewels each and that's 30,000 more that Lucy's rent" Vira convinced.

Natsu, Lucy, Vira and Happy traveled to a town called Willpier, a town famous for their actors, theatres and famous artists. They accepted a job from a theatre manager to act out some characters in his recent play "The Dragon Prince". The gang arrived at Simulant Theatre, the central theatre of the town and the biggest. Home of the most famous plays ever acted out of all time.

"Ahh… Welcome! Welcome to Simulant Theatre! Are you the wizards from Fairy Tail?" A small man asked. He had white long hair that reached to his neck with curls on the edges, sharp mustache and he wore a blue waist coat with gold trimmings and a white shirt under it, blue shorts and brown shoes.

"Yeah were here to take the acting job" Vira answered while showing him the flyer.

"Thank you so much! As you can see, two of the actors who were meant to play the main characters quit their roles for another theatre play. I want one of you to help fill in the roles" he said desperately.

"Heh?" Lucy and Natsu said simultaneously.

A few moments later…

"Why do I have to play the main roles?" Lucy and Natsu once again asked simultaneously.

"Please do it! I can't get any other actor here in Willpier to perform the roles! So please bear with the situation!" the man begged.

"At least you guys star the main roles" Happy pointed out.

"Heh, fine. I just hope it won't be as bad as last time" said Lucy.

"Yah mean the one about Frederick and Yanderica at Selazade?" Vira asked.

"Never speak of it again!" Natsu and Lucy commanded in unison which caused Vira to be frightened and back up a little.

"So you're the ones who performed back then at Selazade? I'm Ella, nice to meet you" said a brunette young woman. Her beauty was compared to Erza and her hair was tied in a bun. She gave a welcoming smile to the mages.

"Oh I forgot to introduce you all to the rest of the cast, this is Ella Borthamore, and she will be playing the queen" the man explained.

"Wow! You are so pretty! I'm Lucy Heartfilia miss!" Lucy introduced.

"Please, call me Ella. I'm so excited to perform with you" the woman said.

"Ella? Kinda sounds like Erza don't you think Happy?" Natsu whispered.

"Aye"

"Moving on, this is Creg Hafturn, he will be playing the king. Say hello to the newbies Creg " the man gestured at a charming man with black hair.

The man turned to their direction then looked away "Pfft, whatever" he said nonchalantly.

"Hey! Did you lose your tongue or something?" Natsu asked as he glared at Creg.

Creg ignored him "Don't talk to me. I don't even deserve to be in the same room with you low-class rookies" he said.

"What did you say punk?" Natsu snapped. They both glared deathly stares at each other.

"Heheh, they kinda remind me of Gray and Natsu fighting" Lucy commented.

"Aye" said Happy.

"Now, enough chat, let's start rehearsing" the small man said.

Next week's update get's a little more romantic so stay tuned!
