Unknown Time - Unknown Place

Lucy felt like she was floating. She felt as if she were a pond lily just floating serenely on cool water. But why did she feel that way? She opened her eyes, but continued to have that peaceful feeling. Am I dead? All she could remember was that she was fighting somewhere with Natsu, but she was almost all out of magic and got hit. Maybe I am dead. She closed her eyes and continued to float. Oddly enough, she wasn't scared; instead, she felt calm and collected. If this is death, then death sure feels peaceful.

"Lucy!" She heard a voice echo and she opened her eyes. "Lucy!" It said again.

That's Natsu's voice! So… I'm not dead! She opened her mouth to call out his name, but no sound came out. She had a hoarse throat and her jaw hurt when she moved it. Slowly, she could feel all her injuries coming back and she didn't feel so serene anymore. Parts of her stung and ached and she could see that parts of her were bloody. She willed herself to speak once more. "Natsu!" She said it in a weak and rough voice, but of course, being a dragon-slayer and all, Natsu heard her.

Lucy felt herself being brought back to reality and she felt somebody shaking her. "Lucy! Lucy!"

Lucy slowly opened her eyes, but only managed to open them halfway. "Nat-su?"

Natsu widened his eyes with surprise and happiness and gave a tight hug to his wife. "Lucy! Dear Mavis, you scared the hell out of me!"

Lucy let out a small groan from the pain of the hug, but she managed to hug Natsu back weakly. She felt tears dropping onto her skin and realized Natsu was crying. Suddenly, she felt very nostalgic, like this had happened once before and began to lose consciousness. Her let go of Natsu and went limp in his arms. She heard him call her name with fear in his voice before she blacked out.

She opened her eyes. In front of her, there were children laughing and playing around by a river. She remembered that river. The last time she'd seen it was when Team Natsu was brought back in time by the book, Memory Days.

She looked closer at the children and she realized that they looked a little bit too familiar. "Little Natsu! Little Gray!" She shouted with surprise. The two children paid no attention to her as they began fighting. What was going on? Everything was like Memory Days all over again! Lucy looked down by the river and saw blond teen. Laxus.

She sighed worriedly. Though she had never really talked to Laxus, she would have to ask him for help. She walked up to the teen, who was sitting by the river coolly. She walked behind him quietly and awkwardly cleared her throat. "Hello, Laxus."

Laxus didn't respond. He didn't even change his position. Lucy walked a little closer and tried again. "Laxus?"

The blond teen continued to stare off in the distance. Is he ignoring me? Lucy was a little irked. "Laxus!"

Laxus did nothing. Lucy was about to push him over to get his attention when he suddenly got up. "Ah, I better go on a job." He placed his hands behind his head and started walking away, whistling. Lucy stood flustered for a moment before she started running at him. "LAXUS! DON'T IGNORE ME!" She attempted to tackle him, but instead, she flew right through him and fell onto the ground. "W-what? I go through people?"

Lucy got up and dusted herself off as she watched Laxus disappear from her sight. She sighed and turned back towards the two fighting kids. "I guess nobody can see me or hear me…" Lucy said quietly and then she started shouting. "HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE THEN?!"

Lucy walked back up to the boys and sat near them. She watched them fight as she tried to think of ways to get back to her time. After a few hours, she realized the fight had ended with Gray knocked unconscious. "Guess this time it's Natsu's turn to win." She smiled to herself. She looked over at Natsu who was jumping around in triumph. She was about to look away when something caught her eye.

Down by the river was a little blond girl. She crouched by the river's edge and her hands were covering her face, sobbing quietly. Lucy knew in an instant that it was herself. She remembered that moment. Seven years ago, she was there because she attempted to run away from home. She was crying since her mother had passed away not that long before. That was all she could remember.

"Oi." Lucy turned around to see little Natsu beside her, staring at her little self. Little Lucy didn't turn around however; because she was too busy crying.

"Oi!" Natsu shouted that time. Lucy looked at little Natsu confusedly. She didn't remember this happening, but she felt a strange feeling that told her that that had happened.

Little Lucy moved her head away from her hands slightly and spoke in a small shaky voice. "What?"

"Why are you crying?" Little Natsu forgot about his win against Gray and walked over to little Lucy before stopping a metre away.

"No reason." Little Lucy got up slowly and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "Bye." She started to run off down the riverside.

Little Natsu stood confusedly until he heard a scream and a splash.
