Authors Note~ Hello everyone! Please remember Natsu is now a human! Sorry I couldn't post any sooner! A lot of stuff has happened recently. School just ended, I lost my brother, and my neighbor just recently died. It's really upsetting, I wasn't that close to my neighbor but his kids are the one I feel bad for the most. I know losing my brother was hard, but losing a father must surely be harder. I'm also moving soon! Either over the summer or when summer ends, I'm not really sure yet. But enough of talking about my life, on with the story my friends!

I could tell I was in a dream. But I didn't want to be in this dream, something was off about this dream. Usually all my dreams are off, but this one had a terrible feeling to it. I could feel chills go up my spine, I opened my eyes.

I was in some type of church, sitting on a bench. The benches were painted black, no, very dark red. I was almost afraid to look around some more. The bench I was sitting on was golden though, why was this on different. Nobody was there, except me, I felt lonely all over again. I got off the bench, which turned red once I left it. I turned away from the bench and headed towards the front of the church.

At the altar, there was a coffin. It was a huge black coffin, big enough for two. Everything in my body told me to wake up, or at least run away from the church. But I couldn't, I was somehow contradicting myself. It's like my body has a mind of its own. My mind was screaming no, but I didn't leave.

I looked down at my feet, they were glowing. No, my whole being was glowing. In this church, I was the only light. I didn't know the true meaning behind it, but I don't think I would want to find out. I looked up at the coffin, something I didn't want to see was in it, or more like someone.

I was facing the back of the coffin, which is kind of weird. Usually it's shown to everyone or closed. May be I shouldn't be looking. I now became hesitant to move any further. What I'm about to see, might scar me for life, I decided to move anyways.

My legs were moving on their own. Every step I took, my head felt as if it was going to split open. My head was aching so bad. I just wanted to wake up to Natsu, my safe haven. I wish he was here now. But I think I have to see this for myself. Being alone sucks.

I stopped in front of the coffin, it was opened just as I expected it to be. I was horrified by the site I was seeing. My mother, and my father. They were laying in the coffin, together. They didn't even look like themselves, they were so pale. Was this a funeral for them inside my head? If it is why would they have the coffin open for me to see? I don't want to see this now.

I want to remember my mother and father with a smile on their faces, not this. I want to see them laughing, not frowning. No, not even a frown. Any emotion would be better than this, all I see is death. I felt like I was going to puke, but nothing would come up. Instead, I was breaking inside.

They were dead. I wanted to crumble to my knees. I really had to except the fact that they are gone out of my life, forever. At least the memories are still here. They happy ones. I wanted to remember the happy one, but this was causing me to freak out.

"N-No please come back." I cried. I wanted t hug them, but then I didn't. The bodies must have been blessed already, that would be stupid of me to touch them now. It would taint them, but I just want to feel their warmth, but there is none.

"Why would you do this to us Lucy!" My mother cried. Suddenly my parents were no longer in the coffin. They were standing behind me. I quickly turned around and gripped at the coffin behind me. My parents were standing there, with no emotion expressed on their faces.

"If only you had noticed sooner!" My father screamed. Now the emotion was showing on their faces, disappointment. Why was my mind doing this to me? Why can't I wake up from this nightmare!

"You're an embarrassment to the kingdom." My father hissed. They're faces, were morphing into monsters. No, they now had no faces now. Why is this happening? I'm starting to believe what they're saying is true, even though I know it's not. My mind is betraying me.

"I-I'm sorry." I cracked. I kneeled to the floor, I was on my hands and knees. I could feel my whole body shivering in fear. This felt all too real. Is this how my parents really feel? I could see the light around me starting to go out, and that made me fearful even more.

"Sorry is not good enough." My father boomed as he raised a hand. He was going to hit me. I didn't even want to guard myself, I just wanted to cry forever. I tensed up for the hit that was to come, but it never did.

I looked up and suddenly a bright light came. No, it was not a light. It was fire. There was my savior standing in front of me, with that big goofy smile. He had his hand reached out to me, of course I grabbed it.

"Natsu." I cried as I leaped into his arms. Natsu chuckled as he squeezed me tighter. I stuck my head into the crock of his neck and cried like a baby. I let out a sob, I sounded like a baby.

"I told you I would protect you," Natsu sighed. "You had me so worried." I cried even more, his warmth made me feel so safe. I couldn't ever live in a world without Natsu Dragneel, my big idiot.

And that's when I woke up.

"Natsu!" I gasped as I shot up. I looked around the room, I was in my room, laying in my bed. I began to feel panic. Where was Natsu? I was about to jump out of bed, but there was arms around my waist and a head resting on my lap. I sighed as I laid back down and put a arm on my forehead.

"I thought you would never wake up." Natsu whined as he snuggled his face into my cheek. As much as I was upset, he made me feel better.

"How long was I sleeping?" I groaned. Natsu pulled back and took me by the arm, pulling me closer. Natsu hugged me tight and let out a sigh.

"A whole day." Natsu stated. I pulled back and looked up at Natsu. I slept for a whole day? I was suppose to leave in two hours, and I slept for a whole fricken day! I groaned as I let my head fall onto Natsu chest, bare chest I might add.

"I spent the whole time trying to find you." Natsu sighed while rubbing small circles onto my back. Where exactly did I go? Do I sleep walk now? I don't think I've ever done that before. I could just imagine my body walking around, kind of weird to imagine that actually.

"Where did I go?" I asked. Natsu chuckled while now playing with my hair, he really likes touching my body doesn't he? N-Not in that way! B-But maybe I want him to, oh why do I think of things like this!? Lucy Heartphilla, Queen of denial.

"I couldn't find you in your dreams," Natsu groaned. "Thank god I found you just in time." So we both slept for the whole day, I can't believe it. Natsu always makes it in the nick of time to save me. I really don't know what would have happened if Natsu hadn't shown up.

"You spent a whole day trying to find me." I said. Natsu nodded his head as he kissed my cheek. I like when Natsu is affectionate like this, usually he's all goofy. I like that side too. I just want to give Natsu a thousand thank you's.

"Thank you Natsu." I could hear my voice crack. This big idiot will do anything for me. I love him for that. I also love everything about him, his good and bad sides. Natsu is just so loveable that it sometimes hurts my heart to think about how cute he is.

"You don't need to thank me Luce," Natsu sniffed my hair. "Protecting you is all I care about." There he goes again, making me blush. Even though we've kissed, his words make me blush more than a kiss.

"You're too perfect." I grumbled into his shoulder blade. Natsu laughed at my comment while he leaned back onto the bed, pulling me with him.

"So are you," Natsu growled lightly. "I don't even know how I got a beauty like you." I leaned my head up and whacked him playfully on the nose. Natsu pretended to be hurt and started to howl about how mean I was to him.

"You picked me up by my dress and carried me off into a cave," I giggled. "Remember?" Natsu let go of his nose and stared at me. I felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze but I stared right back.

"I remember you not fighting back at all." Natsu cracked a grin. I smiled back while reaching up at Natsu's hair and playing with one of his pink locks. I should use the same shampoo as him, his hair is too damn soft.

"Your smile reeled me in." I smiled. Natsu grabbed my hand and began to play with our fingers, unclasping them and clasping them together.

"I didn't even know I could smile in that dragon form." Natsu chuckled as he threw his head back. Natsu's smile, always seems to bring me out of my gloom. Just like Juvia said when her Gray-sama took away the rain, Natsu took away mine.

"Well it was a terrible one but I still loved it." I giggled into Natsu neck, which had a scarf wrapped around it. I felt so comfortable, so warm. Around Natsu I'm always so warm, it's quite a nice feeling. I snuggled more into the crock of Natsu's neck. Somehow, being with Natsu makes all the pain go away, I wonder if Natsu feels the same way.

"Mira's going to kill us." Natsu sighed into my hair. She just might, but this moment right here was too good to pass up.

"She would have done it by now." I smiled as I lifted my head. Natsu nodded his head and showed me a very big toothy grin.

"I wonder if she's busy with Laxus." Natsu smirked. Why would Natsu want to know something like that. I surely would not want to think about Mira and Laxus getting busy. I can't believe I just said getting busy.

"And why are you thinking about that?" I questioned. Natsu chuckled deeply as he gripped my hips. Natsu turned us over in one swift motion, he was now hovering over me. I swear he can become horny in no time! Didn't he mention it being some kind of mating week.

The way he explained it made me want to cry from how funny it was. Every month he becomes horny. He even explained it was like something girls go through, which made me want to burst out laughing. Honestly, how could I not laugh at something like that?

"Just your scent makes me want to take you." Natsu growled as he looked me up and down. I kind of felt scared, but excited. I should be freaking out, shouldn't I? Is it possible for your whole body to be blushing? Because I suddenly became very warm.

"I didn't know I smelt so good." I laughed nervously. What was I even saying?! I should be smacking Natsu! Or should I? Oh why can't I make a decision of my own!?

"She won't be interrupting us if she's busy." Natsu smirked. Oh my gosh. Is it going to happen? I think I'm excited, but I can't really tell. Natsu lowered himself down on to my body. Thank god I wore this dress, for once I didn't wake up naked. Natsu nudged open my legs with his arms and laid between them.

"Ah!" I yelped. I could feel something hard down there. I quickly but my hands up to my face, I was so embarrassed. I could feel Natsu try to pry my hands away from my face, he succeeded. I looked up to see him, his eyes looked so different.

His eyes were filled with so many different emotions. Lust, adoration, happiness. I put a hand onto his cheek and caressed it. It's like something snapped inside Natsu, he suddenly pulled back. I kind of just laid there, clueless as ever. What just happened?

"I-I didn't even know what I was doing." Natsu stuttered. I put my hand back onto his cheek and pulled him down. He looked really flushed.

"Are you okay?" I asked. Of course he wasn't okay! Why was I even asking that? Natsu sighed as he fell on top of me. I huffed because Natsu isn't that light.

"My body took control," Natsu said while resting his head on my chest. "I was so scared that I might've hurt you." My eyes widened, he thought he was going to hurt me? Even if Natsu wasn't aware of his actions, he would never hurt me.

"And why would you hurt me?" I asked. Natsu blushed and hid his face into my chest, he really wasn't making things easy right now. I really wanted to hit him for that action, but I restrained myself.

"We tend to become a little aggressive when mating." Natsu mumbled into my chest. I didn't even say anything. I don't know if I should be laughing or be totally horrified. I chose to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Natsu whined as he lifted his head up. I laughed even more. I couldn't hold it in. He looked so scared, I thought he would wet his pants. A little aggressive? I think I'm laughing because I'm really nervous. I think I could mess with him here for a little bit. I don't think I would get another chance like this.

"How do you know I don't like it rough?" I giggled. I meant to be serious but I couldn't. Natsu's face went from horrified, to confusion, and then to lust. Oh I shouldn't have said that! I didn't mean to awaken the beast, I'm truly a fool!

"Who knew you had a side like this?" Natsu smirked. Natsu leaned up and captured my lips. Natsu's word were true, this kiss was extremely rough. Natsu forcefully shoved his tongue into my mouth and totally took control. I thought he was going to eat my face, but Natsu would never do that.. right? I shouldn't even be questioning that!

"T-That was a joke!" I gasped as I pulled away from the kiss. Natsu winked at me. Why was he winking? Natsu lowered his head down to my neck, and l-licked it. Natsu then began to suck, and that's when I lost it.

"S-Stop." I moaned. Natsu lightly nipped at my neck and made a popping noise when he stopped.

"It' doesn't sound like you want me to though." Natsu grinned as he bit my nose. I just wanted to smack him, and so I did.

"Ow! What did you do that for?" Natsu whined. Natsu held his nose as he looked at me, he was back to normal. Oh thank god! It's not that I don't want to do those things with Natsu, it's just I want him to be all there when he's doing it. Oh I sound like a fool.

"You weren't kidding." I sighed as I pulled Natsu head into a hug, which cause his face to meet my chest. Natsu pulled back a little and stared at me, with his bleeding nose.

"Oh did I hit you that hard!" I exclaimed as I took my sleeve and began to wipe up the blood.

"Y-Yeah sure." Natsu laughed nervously. I pulled my sleeve away when it seemed the bleeding had stopped. Natsu smiled at me nervously.

"Was I that bad that you had to hit me?" Natsu asked. I hit him again, except with a pillow.

"Of course not," I sighed. "I just want you to be yourself when we do stuff like that." Natsu giggled when I said stuff like that.

"It's called sex and kissing an-" Natsu didn't get to finish his sentence because I tackled him. I straddled his hips and covered his face with a pillow.

"I will remove this pillow once you stop being a pervert." I growled. Natsu put a thumb up and that's when I pulled the pillow away. Natsu took the pillow away from me and threw it behind him.

"I really need to remove spatulas and pillows out of your reach." Natsu grumbled as he poked me on the nose. I pouted, he brought up the spatula.

"I told you not to talk about that." I hissed as I poked him on the nose. Natsu growled as he bit my finger, which really hurt. I was about to yell at him, until something extremely awkward happened. I felt something hard against my bottom.

Natsu stared at me while smiling nervously, I kind of felt bad for him. Boys must have it rough considering they can't do anything about that, problem. I could feel my cheeks become hot and that's when I knew to get up, but then the door swung open. In came Mira, Laxus and Happy.

"You're awake finally!" Happy exclaimed. Happy was about to fly over to us but then stopped. He eyed us carefully and then flew out the door say I was a pervert. Laxus snickered as he looked at us. I truly hate when Laxus snickers, I wish I still had my pillow.

"Why do you catch us at such awkward times?" I cried. Natsu let go of my finger and leaned up. He was acting as if everything was totally okay, which it totally wasn't. Natsu gripped at my hips and hissed very silently, don't move so much.

Laxus eyed us carefully and I could see his ear twitch, he heard. I wanted to cry tears of embarrassment. Things have now become extremely awkward. Natsu growled at Laxus which made Laxus look away with a smile on his face.

All that mattered was that Mira wouldn't see, there would be no end to her teasing. I saw Mira looking at us with wonder, which me a bit squeamish. Natsu growled louder this time, I'm so sorry Natsu!

"I see Lucy is feeling better." Mira smiled as she came over to us and grabbed our hands. Natsu gripped my hip like it was his life line.

"Are you guys ready to go?" Mira asked. Natsu and I began to become very sweaty, she was going to kill us. Of course were not ready, we've been sleeping for a whole day! And Natsu has a little, no, a big problem.

"We need a little bit more time." I said. I prepared myself for yelling, anything, but it never came. Mira just smiled, like she understood.

"Everyone will meet you outside when you're ready." Laxus smiled. Mira hooked arms with him and leaned on him.

"Don't take too long!" Mira smiled at Natsu and I. Mira and Laxus waved at us as they left out of the room.

"I feel like they are kind of similar." Natsu laughed. I nodded my head as I quickly got off Natsu. Natsu quickly covered his face and groaned.

"That was way too much." Natsu hissed. I felt so bad, I was his problem. I made him so embarrassed. I was very hesitant but I removed his hands from his face. Natsu looked away from me with pink cheeks.

"You don't have to be embarrassed," I giggled. "It's a normal thing for boys." Natsu sighed as he nodded his head.

"I know," Natsu cracked a small smile. "I was just afraid Mira would kill me for doing something to you before our wedding." That's right, our wedding. I want to have that soon actually. I want to spend the rest of my life with this dork, when do we start?

"About that," I smiled. "We should have it after saving the kingdom." Natsu's smile turned into a huge one. Natsu lunged at me and hugged me, which was something like a Juvia death grip. I giggled as I hugged him back, I was going to marry the man I love.

"I can't wait." Natsu pulled back and then leaned in for a light kiss upon my lips. I sighed as I got out of his grip and jumped off the bed. Natsu followed along with me.

"Should we change?" I asked. Natsu hummed to himself, I'm guessing he's thinking.

"Well I think we should disguise ourselves." Natsu chimed. Disguise ourselves? Why should we? It does sound kind of fun. May be this time I could get to wear pants. Yes that sound weird. Usually girls want to wear dresses and skirts, but pants would be fun.

"Why though?" I asked. It's not that I didn't like the idea, I just wanted to know the reasoning for it.

"Because if anyone recognizes you then that mean's trouble." Natsu winked. For once Natsu Dragneel had out smarted me. I didn't even think about that. It would be bad if someone saw me. I sighed happily as I kissed Natsu on the cheek and walked over to the dresser.

Thank god this one was not the magical one, just a normal one. I opened the doors and looked inside. There were dresses and many other different outfits. There was even a bunny outfit in it. There was this one outfit that was perfect though. It even had pants.

"I think I might look like a man in this though." I said. Natsu took the outfit out of the closet and examined it. Natsu looked extremely surprised by this one outfit, was it that great?

"How did that get in here?" Natsu said in amazement. Now I'm really curious. Was this a magical outfit? That would be kind of cool if it was.

"Why is it so special?" I asked. Natsu turned to me and smiled.

"This was my mom's favorite outfit." Natsu cheered. The outfit was a bit boyish but really cute. It looked somewhat like Natsu's usual outfit, except without the open vest. The outfit was purple instead of white, I usually prefer pink or red but this will do.

It's like Natsu and his mother wore matching outfits, now Natsu and I are going to match. That might actually be kind of fun. Natsu chuckled as he took the hem of my dress and pulled it up. I squealed as Natsu pulled the outfit off of me.

"What did you do that for!" I hissed as I covered myself. Thank you Mavis for undergarments! Natsu stuck his tongue at me as he pulled the outfit off the hanger. Natsu then began to dress me, which was quite uncomfortable. Natsu tickled me and here and there. I hit him here and there.

After a few giggles and a couple whacks on the head later, Natsu and I were dressed. This outfit was perfect on me. There was on long sleeve though, which was kind of weird but I'll live. The pants were actually very comfortable, which made me extremely happy.

"Pants are amazing!" I giggled as I looked in the mirror. I turned around to Natsu to see him blushing.

"You look great Luce." Natsu smiled. Even if it's a small compliment, coming from him it's way better.

"So do you." I smiled. Natsu grinned as he took the ribbon out of my hair. Natsu played with my hair for awhile but then stopped.

"People will surely notice that amazing hairdo." Natsu grinned. Natsu pocketed the ribbon. I grabbed his hand and headed towards the door.

"Do we need anything else?" I asked as I had my hand on the door knob. Natsu hummed to himself and then snapped his fingers. Natsu ran to the dresser and pulled out a box of matches. I eyed him carefully as he walked over to me.

"What if I get hungry?" Natsu chimed. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand.

"Well this is going to be fun!" I giggled. Natsu chuckled as he sped up and dragged me behind him. A new adventure awaits us!

Authors Note~ Hello friends! Oh man! This chapter made me cry even though it was made by myself. The whole coffin part really got to me. That whole walking up to the coffin part really happened to me. My brother got in car accident so, he didn't look like himself. I wanted to scream, but I tried to hold it in. I knew if I cried, then everyone else would. As soon as I got closer, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I let out a sob and that's when I heard his real brother crying.
