Lucy's point of view*
I'm light headed and dizzy, is this a hangover? No, I wasn't drinking. Stumbling and not really trying to stand up, I fell towards the fluffy cloud that was oh-so soft. "Wait-what?!" I quickly stood up, now sober from my blurry vision and dazed state of mind. I'm on a cloud. A white, fluffy cloud… "STANDING ON A CLOUD! OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WHERE AM I?" I screamed, expecting a response from Natsu or the others. I turned around, frantically. "Wait… no one is here. I… where was I before? Think Lucy, think!" After a long pause, it hit me. "I was in guild with Levy-chan." I murmured.
"Who's Levy?" A childish voice of a boy asked. Stunned, I spun around to see a boy with black hair that covered his ears and… gold eyes? I couldn't help but stare into them in amazement, despite the current situation. They were so… beautiful and mystifying.
"Is there something wrong? You're staring at me weird." The handsome boy asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice. Wait… handsome? Did I just call a 13 year old handsome? But some thing's worse, there's something about this that's weird. I just can't put my finger on it.
"Oi! You looking at me weird. Is something wrong?"
"Don't snap at me Zerin! Sorry, I'm just dazed and confused."
Wait. Wait wait wait hold up. Holy Mavis. I knew his name. I thought he was cute. What the f*** is going on! Looking at Zerin with fear-filled eyes, I cried, "What just happened?"
He just looked at me like I was an idiot, and I stood completely dumbfounded.
"You don't remember? You need some help Luce. First, you fell asleep while playing hide n' go seek. You then screamed as if something went horribly wrong. Now you're acting like you don't even know who you are. I'll bring you inside, you really need some rest- in an actual bed."
My jaw almost touched the cloud. What was he talking about? I don't recall playing any games! But before I could protest, Zerin grabbed my hand and started to walk near the edge of the cloud. I then actually took notice of what was around me.
I'm in a garden, full of blooming and glistening flowers. In the center of the cloud there's a golden tree which had glowing leaves that left me speechless. If I thought that rainbow cherry tree at home to be the most beautiful tree I've ever seen, then there were no words that could describe this mystical one. Since the cloud is only slightly obscure, you could see the thick and powerful roots that grounded itself in this wonder-filled cloud. The cloud itself had specks of shining silver her and there, and then I saw it.
There was a river flowing through this cloud, which then fell off into a truly dazzling waterfall. I looked into the fantastic water, and I almost screamed. The girl I saw in the reflection was not me. She looked 13, had gold, long and curly at the end hair with a little terraria tucked in. She wore an elegant and bedazzling white and diamond dress with jeweled wedges which had silver snaking up her leg. She had these amazing wings, draped with diamond necklaces. She was the most beautiful girl I ever seen and also the most terrifying. Was she me? Where was I? But then, the ground beneath my feet disappeared and before I knew it, I was flying off the cloud. Wind in my face, it was the most majestic sight (and experience) I've seen! I saw more clouds, some with their own waterfalls, but as soon as I entered this fantasy land, I was gone.
*Out of Lucy's perspective
The first thing that her drowsy eyes landed on has a flying blue blob crashing into her chest. Still dazed and confused, she didn't even notice who the sobbing creature was. "What the hell…?" The mage murmured. Then she heard the crying screams of her guild mates, Levy's was the first. Then it hit her.
"Oh, happy! Levy! … And everyone else in the guild? And my spirits?" Lucy acknowledged, voice wavering at the end. "LUSHIEEE! I was so worried and-and" the blue exceed cried. Almost half the people there, including Happy, were hyperventilating. Wow, did I cause all this?
As if Loke could read her mind, he explained, "Lucy! You woke up! It's been two hours!" Suddenly in a tight hug with the leader of the 12 zodiac gates, he continued, "You were glowing, your eyes were gold, and your hair was flying! But that's not even the weirdest part." His tone turned serious, and in the blink of an eye he turned from a fluffy crying lion into the king of the jungle. Everyone in the room turned quite. It was strangely sudden. "You… you were, I really don't even know what it was. Every now and then you'd just open your eyes and a gold gas escaped from your mouth. Not only that, you were… singing. I must say, it was the voice of an angel."
Lucy couldn't believe what she was hearing. She wanted to speak but her mouth was dry. "I-I…" Lucy struggled, but her words failed her. She was looking at her hands now, which still had a slight glow but you had to be close to see.
She then felt the hug of bookworm 2. "I was so scared Lucy." Her voice trembled, and Lucy felt a warm liquid on her chest. She was laying down in her bed, and everyone who couldn't fit inside was outside her window. Heck, even the fishermen were there. Loke, Levy, Happy, Erza, Gray and Natsu managed to be on her bed or at the foot of it. Wendy was currently in the bathroom, but she had a spot. Even though eight people were crammed on her bed, they all managed to give Lucy a little space. How I don't know, so don't ask.
Master, Mira, and Porlysusica sat on her couch. Apparently all Exceeds managed to get Porlysusica to come, despite her infinite hate for humans. She, however, understood the seriousness of the situation, so she came with only little hesitation. Virgo, Capricorn, and Cancer sat at her dining room table. All the other spirits stood near the table, but Aquarius had her own special place in the bathtub. Lucy felt sorry for Wendy. That poor girl didn't know. Many people stood in the entrance, but what stood out the most in her room was Mavis. She waved hi and stood on the table of all things.
Gray, happy to see his friend awake, and desperate to end this awkward silence, asked a reasonable question. "So, Lucy, did you dream of some place?"
Porlysusica jumped off the couch and walked over to the girl's bed. "Thank you for asking Gray, I nearly forgot. Lucy, try to tell us every detail if you can. You can ask for some privacy if you'd like. It's very important because there's a good chance this will happen again, and if there's any way of stopping them it's from information from your dreams."
Lucy, of course stunned by the cranky lady's words, decided to be completely honest. Well, almost.
"I woke up on a cloud. There was this other boy there, with wings and golden eyes. His name was Zerin- I knew him somehow. We were both 13, and apparently I fell asleep while playing hide n' go seek with him. On the cloud was this amazing garden, and almost everything glowed. I myself had an aura around me, well I shouldn't say myself. When I looked into a reflection of a river flowing through the cloud, I had longer hair that was curly at the ends. My eyes were also gold, and I had these magnificent wings. I thought she was an entirely different person. The boy and I were both dressed elegantly with diamonds, silver, and I had a white dress on. But Zerin grabbed my hand, and we both flew off into the sky, where I saw other clouds. Then, I woke up. And that's everything that happened." Most people seemed pretty intrigued with the mage's story, but it was evident in some faces that they thought it was gibberish.
After some people thought about her story, Lucy decided to end the deadly silence.
"So! Um, how'd I get here anyway?" Lucy asked with an awkward smile.
"Natsu and Loke brought you here. You should have seen the look on his Natsu's face. Everyone came rushing behind them." Gray answered, happy to provide an insult.
Natsu, never the one to stay silent, countered, "Shut up Elsa!"
"Natsu liiiikes her!" Happy chimed.
Ignoring the blue furball's comment, disputed, "Flame brains!"
But, as expected, the quarrel was ended by a furious red head. "SHUT UP!"
"Y-yes, so-sorry Erza!"
