Preview of Chapter 19: Shadows of a Hopeless Future

"Maybe everything you wish for won't become stars, but if you have a dream to believe in, they'll be thousands of the most glittering jewels in the night sky."

"Natsu! Wait!" Lucy grabbed onto his hand as they suddenly entered the appetizing room, that was filled to the brim with all different types of food.

"We hit the jackpot, Happy!" Natsu cheered.

"Aye Sir!"

As Natsu and Happy began to chow down on the food, Lucy looked around a little worried. They have just escaped their imprisonment but, they haven't seen one sign of anyone after them?

"Come on, Lucy!" She looked down at Natsu. "Have some! It's delicious!"

"Um..No I'm fine.."

Happy joined in, "You are huge, after all, Lucy."

"Shut up, you cat!"

A clattering sound as some food fell off a pile in the corner, alerted her to knowing they weren't alone. Lucy looked back over to Natsu and Happy, who happily munched on the food, unaware of anything going on around them.

"Natsu, I really think we should hurry and find the exit soon. Who knows when they'll finally find us." Lucy said watching their surroundings carefully.

"They'll never find us in here. What are you talking about, Lucy?" Natsu looked at her with a curious expression.

"I'm saying we should leave now!" She yelled out, just when something very heavy and huge appeared behind them.

The trio stood there in shock and after a while pointed up at the newcomer. "A..A D-Dragon!?"

The great red fire breathing dragon that stood before them, roared, creating the room to shake. "Why is there a dragon?"

"No matter what or who stands in my way, they're going down!" Natsu cheered.

"Aye sir! Natsu is a dragon slayer, he can defeat this dragon with no problem." Happy proudly said.

"That's not the problem here!" Lucy yelled at him. "And Natsu wait!"

Natsu grinned, ignoring all of Lucy's warnings. "You know you really shouldn't have attacked after I ate. Cause...now I'm all fired up!" Just as he pulled back his arm, ready to give the dragon a fiery punch, he then realized why Lucy had been yelling at him.

"Uh...Plan B: Run!" Natsu grabbed Lucy's uninjured hand and ran towards the exit, with Happy following them, that is...if they could only remember where the exit to the room really was.

Currently they now hid behind one of the huge food piles. "Idiot Natsu!" Lucy harshly whispered to him. "How could you forgot about that bracelet!"

"It's not my fault I'm so used to using my power!" Natsu whispered sharply back to her, as he struggled with the bracelet. "Oi Happy, help me with this."

"Aye." Happy started to help Natsu get the bracelet off, but it was no use.

"What are we going to do now?...Without Dragon Slayer magic..." Lucy began, just as Natsu stood up. "Natsu?" She glance quickly at the dragon. "Sit down or we'll be seen!"

Natsu didn't listen to her as he looked around with a confused expression. "I hear something..."

"Are you sure it's not the dragon?!" Lucy harshly whispered to him, afraid that the dragon has already found them.

"No, it's faint but...it's coming closer." Just as he said that, a explosion appeared overhead, alerting even the huge dragon to the newcomers.

The trio's expressions lit up at the arrival of some very familiar people.

A/N:Hoped you enjoyed! Though sorry for just a small preview. I had actually wrote this a few weeks ago but...I've been busy and right now I have major writer's block for all of my current fanfics. I have lost all inspirations and I have no ideas for the next few scenes.

Anyway just yesterday I got to go to a space convention for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. (My family is big fans of Doctor Who or any type of Scifi thing...even though I don't really care much for space things.) Though I was nervous (Since it was my first time ever going to a convention like this and I am a really shy person.) it was fun. I got to meet the 7th Doctor, the guy who played Buck Rogers, and a guy who played in Star Trek. It was very interesting hearing their stories and their jokes were hilarious. After we got home, we were all exhausted, even though we didn't stay that long.

So...as I said before I have major major major writer's block on all of my stories. So please don't except me to update soon. Though it would be nice to...I've kinda decided to just, if I feel any inspiration for any of my stories then I'll write it. And if I don't, then I don't. Also I loved to how some inspirational reviews every now and then, they really help. And what I mean by inspirational reviews...I'm not talking about: Please update...I'm talking about: I love your story because...etc.

I apologize for the rambling. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and followed. And everyone else who is still reading. Read and Review Please! And have a great day! :)

Fun Fact: This scene was actually planned to be where they encounter most of the Noah family in the place where they usually have Noah family meetings. (The dining room area place...with the table..). But...I found out it was better to have it this way. Guess who the dragon is...

Fun Fact 2:

The last part where Natsu stands up. I had originally planned Lucy to stand up and use Gemini on the dragon...(I had even gone to research everything about the Gemini key.)...Though I figured out it wouldn't work since..1. Lucy hand is injured and 2. She doesn't have her keys right now...which I don't think I ever mentioned...
