"Were here." A voice spoke softy.

The Dragon nudged its snout against his princess's back. Lucy Hearfilla stirred in her sleep. "Five more minutes Nat-su" She grumbled going back into a deep sleep.

The dragons lips curved into a smile. Curling his snake like body around Lucy's curvy human body; he allowed her to sleep a little longer. But he had to admit she was pretty danm cute when she was sleeping. With his strong dragons senses he could hear her softly snore. A little chuckle escaped his mouth, that snore just increased her cuteness.

Just yesterday had they set off to go to the Heartfilla Kingdom. But it had gotten dark out so they both decided they should find a place to sleep. Once they settled down he felt that Lucy was put off ease, somewhat jittery, he couldn't quiet explain it but he knew that she wasn't alright. The dragon was taught at a young age from his father that he shouldn't interfere with a women's business. So all he could do was watch her in discomfort.

The curvy young princess cuddled with the Dragons side letting out a happy sigh. This made Natsu's scales turn bright pink, like a blush of a Dragon. Never did Natsu feel this way with anyone before. With Lucy his stomach felt like he just got a roller coaster that was going down hill, Butterfly's lived in his stomach and they only flew for Lucy.

This made the dragon think. Who will Lucy match him up with? This made Natsu somewhat excited to meet people, maybe become their friends even… But deep inside the prince didn't want to meet anyone else. Of course he wanted more friends, but he didn't want to be matched up with someone else other than…

The Dragons eyes became wide. Its not possible, he couldn't be falling for Lucy… Or was he really falling for her? Natsu looked at the blond for a moment seeing her move in her sleep. 'So cute…' Natsu thought silently to himself. Maybe he was really falling for the Blond that he rescued that day. 'No Lucy is Nakama, me and her could never be… Right?'

"DANM IT!" A voice outraged echoed through the castle.

A plate flew crashing into a wall. This castle was non other than the Dragneel kingdom.

"What do you mean she's gone I thought we had a Deal Jude!" The voice spoke again pointing an accusing finger at the King of the Heartfilla kingdom.

"My apologies King Natsu I promise to find her." The king bowed low apologizing for his daughter's actions. Never had he have such fear of anyone in his like but to only Prince Natsu.

Many say that the Prince himself had slain a Dragon that had penetrated the castle more than 100 years ago! Everyone looked up to the Prince he was old yet wise. But he looked just like any regular teenager. As rumor has it that the Prince had gain eternal youth from the Dragon he had killed with his bear hands.

"Good…" The king waved his hand to dismiss the man.

Bowing once more, Jude made his way to the castle doors leading into the main hallway. Leaving Natsu alone with his faithful advisor, Len.

"The was rather odd, where dare say that ruffian child Lucy ran off to my Queen?" Len spoke.

"I could careless were she went, I just need to find her. Before this transformation is over." The so called King stood up from his chair.

"Well Lady Demune, is there anything you need before you leave?" Len questioned the man.

A bright light came from the inside of the 'King Natsu' as he transformed into a young women with bright brown hair. With a somewhat slender body, short, and a very odd crinkle to the features of her face. The witch that put Natsu under his dreaded curse…. Lady Demune.

Turning around to face her trusty advisor. "I wish you find me Prince Natsu…" she spoke in a evil, demonic tone.

"Why the Prince? isn't he already a Dragon?" Len asked baffled at the words his dear queen spoke.

"Yes, but all the more reason to find him. I fear that our little salamander has left its nest with a certain young blond…" Demune spoke leaving the room.

Len watched the young witch leave, telling the guard's all to quickly check up on their reptilian 'friend'.

Demune entered her bedroom, which use to be the real prince's bed room many years ago. Ever since then Demune has been changing into Natsu. So she may be able to rule over his kingdom. Taking over made drastic changes to the kingdom. People feared the King as he ruled the kingdom with an iron fist. There was no mercy for those of the lower class they would die from disease or famine. Many of the innocent were executed and not even given a trail before judgment of their crimes; they may or may not have even committed.

Slowly moving towards the balcony she watched the vast kingdom below. Staring off into the distance she watched the people bustle, moving like ants frantically buying enough food for their hungry families.

'Were are you Lucy Heartfilla?'

~0~

"Ok were here~" Lucy sang delightfully as her and Natsu neared a house at the edge of the kingdom.

"Are you sure? What happens if she gets to scared and runs away?" Natsu questioned sadly.

"Don't worry she is the bravest girl I know…" The princess spoke proudly but then muttered something under her breath.

With Natu's amazing dragon sense's all of the 5 senses he has become intensified. Meaning he was able to catch what Lucy was saying: "And the scariest…"

The dragon blinked baffled at why Lucy start to shiver when she neared the house. Creeping towards the door she knocked twice. On the other side of the door a voiced chimed in response that someone was home. "Coming~"

Lucy smiled as the door opened to reveal a Scarlet haired girl. Curvy body yet somewhat muscular to show she was no push over. Armor to match she was Lucy's most trustful friend, Erza Scarlet Head of the Heartfilla's Kingdom's Knights.

"Lucy? Is that you?" Erza said in complete shook.

"Who else?" Lucy questioned back.

Erza threw her arms around Lucy getting her into a tight embrace. The poor Princess was almost squished to death with Erza's strength slamming her into the steel armor.

"Thank Layla your safe… The whole kingdom is looking for you. Where have you been?" Erza broke the hug, giving Lucy a death glare making her flinch.

"Well um… you see that's the problem." The blond grabbed her friends hand and took her over to the wood's that masked the giant dragon waiting patiently for his blond Nakama to return.

"I've been with… him." Lucy dragged Erza into a small clearing. Revealing something that made the own Erza tremble in her boots… A dragon.

Erza pushed Lucy behind her protectively and drew her sword. Lucy eyes became wide at the action.

"Lucy… run ill hold him off until-"

"NO ERZA! He's a friend…" Lucy reassured the red head.

"How do I know he's not going to eat you? I swore to protect the Hearfilla's no matter what!" Erza spoke proudly remembering the oath she took a few years ago.

"If I were to eat her I would've done it by now. Plus, I would never eat my Nakama ESPECIALLY LUCY!" The dragon growled dangerously low, making Erza jump at the fact that this dragon could even Talk! Lucy watched as Natsu's jaw formed showing off his pearly white sharp teeth. Never had she seen her dragon become so.. Fierce. Heat rose to her cheeks as she began to blush.

Erza lowered her weapon cautiously taking a step forward to the Dragon. Looking back at Lucy with yet another deadly stare. She sweat dropped as she explained her story to Erza of her escape from her father. Natsu finding her unconscious on the ground and saving her. Finishing off with Natsu's dilemma of his terrible curse.

Natsu watched Erza intently seeing her every move. Lucy laughed as they both ended up staring at each other with sneers on both of their faces. Making her way over to Natsu she stroked his snout to calm the young dragon down. This made Natsu shiver slightly from Lucy's cold hand but soon he found himself dozing off into a deep sleep.

The princess giggled watching Natsu's eyes fight to stay awake. But sleep won this battle, as he lightly snored his scales turning bright pink.

"He seems to be very protective of you…" Erza spoke softly to the blond.

"Yea I guess. I think it's kind of cute that he's like that." Lucy still stroking the dragon.

"But this makes no sense… So the king of the Dragneel kingdom is a fake?" Erza tapped her chin thinking to herself.

"What do you mean?" Lucy stopped petting her Dragon and turned her attention to Erza.

"Well you see King Natsu. Is the ruler of the Dragneel Kingdom. And we have Prince Natsu here… How do we know that This is the real Natsu?" Erza informed Lucy of her question.

Natsu cracked an eye open, interested of Lucy's reaction. But also wanting to know of this other Natsu. Opening his mouth slightly to speak up and barge questions at Erza of this fake Natsu he was interrupted.

"'Cause I believe in Natsu! I know he's the real prince…" Lucy held her head low to mask her eyes.

Erza's eyes were wide never had Lucy raised her voice at the scarlet haired woman before.

"Mom told me stories of how a Prince Named Natsu was put under a curse and was forever to be a Dragon. But my mom told me all the time… True Love is the Only thing strong enough to lift it." Tears threatened to slide down her delicate porcelain cheeks.

Erza moved forward to the blond resting her hand on her shoulder. "If you and Layla believe it… Then so will I…" Giving a reassuring squeeze.

Natsu watched the scene, Lucy really cared for him. No one has ever cared for him but why does he feel a warmness in a belly for her. Knowing he had to have that type of feeling for the girls Lucy would be introducing him to. There was nothing, for Erza. She was beautiful yes that was true but his heart flew for Lucy.
