Chapter 9:

Cana's Reading and Lucy's Dream

Natsu Pov.:

"Why did she go on a Solo mission," I asked.

Levy stood up and spoke, "I know Lucy pretty well. I think she took the Solo mission to try to clear her head, get some anger out, and try to get handle on her problems. Right now, she wants to be alone."

"She'll be gone for a week at most," Mirajane said, "I'm sure she'll be fine. She is as brave and stubborn as you, Natsu." I felt like someone was squeezing my heart.

"Maybe Natsu should go after Lucy," Cana said still sober.

"Why whats wrong," Lisanna asked.

"I've done a reading on Lucy and I get two results," Cana replied.

"What kind of results," I asked.

"One is a safe return," Cana said and hesitated for moment which cause a lump in my throat, "And the other is death. The one with a safe return, Natsu is involved. The one with death, Lucy is alone."

"Then Happy and I'll go after her and make sure her death doesn't happen," I replied but just as I was about to leave when my stomach growled.

"How about we get some food first," Mirajane said.

"Alright but after that Happy and I leave," I responded. 'Lucy, stay safe till I reach you,' I thought as I took a seat at the bar.

Lucy Pov.:

I was sitting on the train and I watched the landscape as it passed by. "Lucy, why are you crying," Loke asked then I realized that I had tears rolling down my face.

"The pain from the fact that Natsu doesn't remember that he is my boyfriend," I said and I looked at Loke, "It hurts so much Loke, I don't know how much longer I can live with it."

"Lucy, I wish I had some magic words to fix this," Loke replied as he looked at me with sad eyes, "If I would've stopped that memory wizard before I disappeared then you and Natsu wouldn't be in so much pain. I'm sorry Lucy."

"Its okay Loke, you did what could," I replied.

"Lucy, I promised I would protect you," Loke said, "You're going though this pain because I couldn't save you from it."

"Oh Loke. Please, don't blame yourself," I responded, "You all did you could and that's what matters."

"I glad you're my master," Loke said with a soft smile.

"Loke, I'm not just you master, I'm your friend," I told then I yawned.

"Come over here," Loke said and I was too tired to fight back so I did as he told me, "Lay your head my lap, you need some sleep." I nodded my head then I place my head on his lap and drifted asleep.

Dream:

I was in a black room when Natsu appear his back faced me. "Hey, Natsu," I yelled and at that moment he turned and looked me with his trademark smile.

"Lucy, where have you been? The wedding is about to start," Natsu said as his smile grow.

"Wedding," I said then I looked down to see I was in white gown and I looked at Natsu to see he was now wearing a nice tux.

"Yea, wedding," Natsu said as I looked around to see that everyone was well dressed. I closed my eyes.

"Lucy, I found him," Natsu said to me and I opened my eyes.

"Found who," I asked then I saw a red dragon fly over head.

"I found Igneel," Natsu replied with his wide trademark smile.

The Dragon landed and smiled at me as he said, "I'm Igneel." After that I closed my eyes.

"It's a girl," Wendy said as I heard a baby cry which made me open my eyes.

"So what do you want name her," Natsu asked as he looked at me and the baby girl.

I looked at the baby with pink as I took her into my arm and said, "Nashi Arundel Dragneel."

"I love it," Natsu replied and I closed my eyes again.

I heard a baby cry again and my eyes shot open. "This time, it's a boy," Wendy said and she handed him to me.

"I think we'll name him, Ayumu Igneel Dragneel," I said and I smiled at my son then at Natsu.

"I love it," Natsu responded then he kissed my forehead. After that I closed my eyes.

A moment later I felt someone shaking as they said, "Lucy, wake up. This is our stop." My eye fluttered open and I saw Loke. 'It was all a dream,' I thought as I looked around for a moment before my eyes landed back on Loke.

"Okay let's do this," I said then I got up and walked off. 'This is harder than I thought it would be. I missing Natsu to much,' I thought as I got off the train.
