Hello Everyone! Thank you all again so much for reading! I really love writing this story. I hope you enjoy! :)

DISCLAMER: I am not an owner of Fairy Tail, that would be Hiro Mashima.

I also owe this beautiful soulmate AU Idea to the magnificent MIssyPlatina. (Go read her fic's they're absolutely wonderful!)

Heat. Unbearable heat. Everything around her was blazing, Dancing in flames. She couldn't move, she just watched it spread farther and farther throughout the room. It was as if the fire was searching for something, the way it was covering one section at a time. A blinding light flashed before her eyes, instinctively she looked up. She braced herself.

Im falling

Lucy woke up in a sweat. She slowly came into the grasp of things, and began to move. She felt her bed beneath her. She wiggled her toes and fingers, testing them out. The freedom of being able to move her body was like a miracle. She slowly lifted her hand to her face and it was wet.

Am I crying?

She looked around the room to get a baring of her surroundings. She was in her bed, her apartment. There was a pile on the floor beside her bed. Blue hair could be seen, but her body was completely snuggled beneath the plethora of blankets and pillows.

Levy

Lucy smiled, and tried to relax herself. She sat up and stretched.

It was just a dream

She told herself. She knew that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep, so she got out of bed careful not to wake the bluenette beside her. She went to the kitchen and started the tea kettle. Once that was started, she went to her desk, and pulled out her journal.

Dream Journal

Night 27

It keeps happening. Im always paralyzed in the center of a room. The fire was worse this time. It was like it had a mind of its own, and that it was looking for me. Then I started falling.

I cant help but think this has something to do with my Mark. I don't know how, but I just feel like it is connected. The scariest part is that Its the same dream, every night.

It's getting worse.

She heard the water boiling in the kitchen, so she quickly got to it before it made any more noise. She poured herself a mug of tea, and sat at the counter.

I wonder what time it is.. well the sun is coming up. Ill start making breakfast.

She went into her refrigerator and got out some eggs, veggies, and bacon. Like magic right when she started the bacon, Levy was up.

"Morning Lucy!" She said with a yawn.

"Good morning Levy." Lucy smiled back at her.

"Im making us omelettes and bacon. Any requests?"

"Can I have green peppers in mine?" She responded.

"Sure thing Levy. How did you sleep?" Lucy grabbed the pepper and started cutting it for the omelette.

"I slept okay, thank you so much for letting me stay over! I didn't realize how late it was!"

"No problem! Even though it was a late night, i'm pretty proud of what we accomplished. We finished all of the extra credit work!"

"Im proud of us too. Hey Luce? Do you know what time it is?"

"No I don't, I think I misplaced my phone somewhere, or maybe I left it at the library.."

"Im pretty sure you brought it back here. We will find it around here somewhere! In the meantime Ill check my phone, where did you plug it in Lucy?"

She pointed to her desk.

"Oh! Its plugged in under there, ohh did you want some tea?"

"Okay! And sure I would love some!"

Levy crawled out of bed and sauntered over to the desk. She unplugged her phone and glanced at it.

"Wow! Its almost 5AM! Why are you up so early?"

"I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep, sorry for waking you."

"Aww I'm sorry Lucy! Its okay though, I don't mind getting up early. Plus this gives us extra time to get ready before school!"

Levy started folding up all the blankets and organizing them with the same colored pillows. Then she got up and placed them under Lucy's bed.

"Breakfast is ready!" Lucy chimed.

Levy joined Lucy at the counter and they ate together. The morning went quickly, and in a blink of an eye they were both on their way to school.

"NATSU NO PHONES IN CLASS!"

Professor Gryder walked over to Natsu's desk and grabbed the phone from his hands.

"Hey I need that!" Natsu pleaded.

"If you needed it so badly you should have used it wisely. You can pick it up from my office at the end of the day."

"Ughh.. Okay."

Natsu crossed his arms and slumped in his seat.

"Nice going flame for brains" Grey snickered, and batted him on the back of the head.

"Shut it Ice prick" Natsu snapped back at him.

"Pay attention in class you two!" A red headed girl whispered menacingly behind them.

"Yes Erza!" The two boys whispered back in unison.

Natsu had texted Lucy five times already. FIVE. The last text he got from her was last night, and all it said was "Studying with Levy, TTYL!"

Lucy was not the type to not respond. She was always on her phone, and she was the fastest texter he knew. If she wasn't responding, that meant something happened. He was sure of it.

#*#*#*#

"Whats wrong with Natsu?" Elfman asked Grey who was sitting next to him at the lunch table.

"I think he's bummed out because of his phone being taken away first period."

"Ohh, thats not very Manly."

"No, it really isn't." Grey said, loud enough so that Natsu would hear him.

No responce.

"Whats up with you! Nothing going on up there?!"

"Quit it Grey, obviously he has something going on, so why would you pester him!"

Erza set her food next to Natsu and sat down.

"Now why don't you tell Erza whats wrong okay?" she babied.

"What! I thought you said not to pester him!" Grey seethed.

She glared at him.

"I said that YOU shouldn't pester him. Now, Natsu, If you would talk to me I have some food for you!"

"Babying him isn't going to get you anywhere. A Real man - -"

Elfman was cut off by Natsu, who slid Erza's tray in front of him and started eating.

"You were saying?" Erza smirked at him.

"Its Lucy." Natsu said.

"She hasn't answered me since last night. And now I can't even check my phone."

"Who's Lucy?" Erza said, confused.

"She's this girl who goes to school with Lisanna & Mira." Grey said.

"Lisanna's back? Since when?!" Erza exclaimed.

"She's been back for a few months now.." Natsu shrugged, then continued.

"Anyways I knew Lucy before Lisanna came back."

"I know that Squinty Eyes! Im just making it easier for Erza to recognize her!" Grey stammered.

"What does that have to do with anything ICE PRINCESS!?" Natsu slammed his hands on the table.

"ENOUGH" Erza shouted.

They both looked at her in horror. "Sorry sir!"

"How DARE you not tell me Lisanna was back!" She was standing now, directing her attention to Elfman.

"And you call yourself a MAN." She continued.

"I thought you knew! I was missing from school for a week when she came back! Everyone in school was talking about it! Didn't you notice?"

"I don't like to keep up on social gossip, it's nothing but lies." she folded her arms and sat back in her seat.

They collectively sighed.

"Now Natsu, I expect you to introduce me to this Lucy girl you're so fond of."

"Im not fond of her! What does that even mean!"

"It means exactly what you think it does dork." Grey snickered and flicked Natsu in the center of his forehead.

Before he could do anything about it the lunch bell rang. They all put their things away, and headed off to class.

Natsu was restless all day, unable to pay attention. Classes went by morbidly slow. Until finally the last bell ran. He sprinted to the office to get his phone. But when he checked his inbox it read: No new messages

Something was definitely wrong.

#*#*#*#

Lisana was walking home from a long day at school. Everyone was obsessing over her Mark, making predictions on who they thought she would end up with. The things people came up with were very amusing. Most of the girls figured that the mask over the bunny signified a Knight in shining armor. Lisanna couldn't help but hope along with them.

Suddenly, something knocked her to the ground.

"Ahh, hey!" She snipped.

"Sorry!"

Her breath caught.

"Natsu! What are you doing!"

He stood up, and then reached out his hand to help the girl up.

"Sorry Lisanna! Are you okay? I was on my way to Lucy's and I kind of wasn't paying attention."

She took his hand and stood up. Not wanting to let go..

He pulled away, then started brushing the dust off of her. Checking to see if she was injured in any way.

"I'm okay Natsu. Why are you in such a hurry?" She was quizzical. Had something happened that she didn't know about?

"Well she hasn't texted me all day, so I figured that there must be something wrong. So I was on my way to check on her!"

Lisanna stifled the laugh that was rising in her.

"She's fine Natsu. I saw her at school today! She just lost her phone last night and didn't have it at school with her is all!"

Relief flooded Natsu. Lisanna could see it.

He must have been really worried. What a sweet friendship they have.

"Well, hey Natsu?" She looked up at him, folding her hands together behind her back.

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing tonight? I feel like I haven't seen you and Happy for quite some time!"

"Ohh! Haha I only have some homework to do but hey! You can help me with it if you want! I also want to check on Lucy too, did you want to come along?"

"Sure Natsu!" She beamed.

Finally I get to spend some time with him!

Then they walked the path along the riverside, together.
