Destiny vs Luck

by Sencil4

This starts out in a short story about Natsu and Happy reading out of an unfinished book that Lucy wrote to be caught later, but he and Lucy end up conversing about it. It is not double spaced. The rest of the chapters will be different scenarios no more rated than T. I don't write sex scenes.*disclaimer* I don't own Fairy Tail, and if I did, I wouldn't change a thing about it.

12. Night Watch

Night Watch

Everyone fell asleep by the fire except for Natsu who decided to take the first watch. He sat at the very entrance of the cave, cross-legged.

Lucy stood on an island by her Fairy Tail companions, but the island got smaller and smaller until one by one, the rest fell into the churning water, even Happy and Carla whom could fly. Then, Lucy was alone. A dark shadow loomed over her and the island. Then presents wrapped in expensive paper and tied ribbons rained down. They exploded on impact when they reached Lucy, and she cried out loudly.

Lucy woke up for a breath with sweat beaded upon her face. 'That was a weird nightmare,' she thought, but it still left her shaken. 'I need to get away from this fire!' Lucy got up and looked around. Wendy and Carla where both asleep. Happy was on his back asleep. All the others appeared to be asleep also. Lucy realized Natsu was gone and remembered that he was at watch. She walked quietly toward the cave entrance.

Natsu heard Lucy before she got there. He turned his head towards her and said, "What's up? You were tossing in your sleep." Lucy replied, "I had some weirdish nightmare." "What about?" he asked. She took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know what it means or anything, but I have a feeling it had something to do with my father." Natsu smiled and said, "I'm sure ya do miss him." She nodded slowly. "I know ya do. Just like I do with Igneel," he said now looking at the ground. "It had to be hard, the whole deal with Michelle and all, but you have friends. You'll always have Fairy Tail. You always have me," Nastu said and looked at her smiling. Lucy grinned. She sat beside of him. "How's the stars?" she asked. "Oh, them?" Nastu asked. "I didn't really look." They both walked out a bit and glanced up. Lucy was happy to see some of the stars, but Natsu said, " It's kinda cloudy." He squinted his eyes more while Lucy just cherished the moment.

"Meeeeeeen!" "What was that?" asked Lucy surprised. "It was far away; nuthin' to worry about," answered Natsu while shrugging and walking back to the entrance of the cave. "Awwww! I hope it's not monsters," whined Lucy. She sat with Natsu for awhile until she took over his watch.
