The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 45

•Lucy's POV•

Natsu dragged me through the endless amount of people in the Celestial Kingdom. I think I accidentally hit someone in the butt along the way. Natsu looked back quickly and flashed me a huge grin, and I smiled nervously back.

I didn't realize how big a kingdom could really be. I know, I lived in one, but I was never allowed outside. There are so many different types of people here. There are so many things I want to do when were done with this whole witch thing.

-Marry Natsu Dragneel
-Travel the world
-Take on a few missions to test my strength.
-Be with friends!

All those things are very important to me. There is one other thing, my father. I want to save him, but will I be able to?

Well, we lost Erza and Jellal a long time ago. I think Erza dragged him into a wedding dress shop. I wonder if Erza and Jellal would get married anytime soon. I know Natsu and I just kind of got rushed into it.

But back then it turned into something I never expected it to be. I smiled at the fond memories rushing into my mind. Natsu was a huge dragon that I befriended, I didn't even think he would turn into a human of all things.

Then came the time where the kale beast came into picture. The spatula jokes which I'll never hear the end of from Gajeel. I never realized how much I've gained since leaving that kingdom. And now, I'm going back to it.

Those were the simple times, well, not really. Now that I think about those times, I wonder how Plue is doing. We decided to leave him there incase something bad happened. I hope he is doing alright. I rushed out of my thoughts when I heard the screeching of wheels.

   "I really, want to ride that." Natsu grinned as he looked up at the monstrous thing in front of us. My jaw dropped, and I shook my head slowly. There was no way I was going on that. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted run away.

"Come on Lucy, I mean Luke, don't be a scardy cat." Natsu chuckled as he pulled me forward. It was nothing I've ever seen before. I read the sign above that seemed to be the name of this so called ride.

Rollercoaster of Fiery Death!

"N-Natsu I don't think this is the best idea." I laughed nervously. Natsu pursed his lips at me. No Natsu. Don't you dare give me the puppy face!

"But Rushiee." Natsu whined. That was it, I was doomed. I gulped as I clenched a fist. I will do it for Natsu. I could hear Elfman's voice in the back of my head screaming "BE A MAN LUCY!"

"Lucy, stop thinking such weird things and lets go." Natsu smirked. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, then reopen ing them and nodding my head. Natsu was right, maybe this will be more fun than it sounds.

"Are you two ready for this ride?!" A person called over to us. Just my luck, there was no line. Natsu had an mischievous glint his eyes. Natsu pulled me forward towards the ride of fiery death.

The ride jockey stared down at us with a huge grin. I gulped, my throat was incredibly dry. This guy looked very familiar. Natsu squeezed my hand in reassurance. I looked towards Natsu, he shot me a heartwarming smile.

"I think we are ready." I smiled brightly. The ride jockey removed his hat to reveal a familiar face.

"Alright pretty boy, enjoy the ride." Doranbolt grinned. Natsu tried to pull us away, but I stood still. I lifted a hand and pointed at him.

"You, You!?" I exclaimed. Doranbolt looked very amused. B-But he was the guard, wasn't he?

"I'm the guard and the ride jockey, I teleport pretty fast." Doranbolt said like it was obvious. I nodded my head really slowly. Magic will always surprise me. I looked to my right to see Natsu getting antsy.
