It's summer! No more testing. Screaming hallelujah that I'm out of school. Not going to miss anybody there. No offense. Except for my friends. I love my friends. I also love you guys. <3

Natsu's POV:
"Natsu! Wake up!" I heard Lucy yell. I fell off the bed, startled by Lucy's scream. Getting off the ground, I saw five guards looking at me with intense stares. It made me flinch by surprise. I realized, however, they weren't my guards. Their armor is different and they carry a lance, while my guards carry swords.
"May we help you?" I asked politely. One of the guards, who looked like the captain, gave me a letter from the King of Sorciere. I opened the letter and found the royal seal placed beside his signature. It must be very important.
"You are Prince-"
"Uh, Natsu! Yes, Natsu, that's me!" Lucy looked at me with strange eyes. I scratched my head, avoiding eye contact with her. I still need to keep my identity a secret. The captain shrugged his shoulders, not really caring about my strange act.
"Yes, Natsu... you are to report to his majesty in an hour. He has some business he would like to take care of." The captain bowed to me and he commanded his troops to leave the inn. I sighed in relief and plopped onto the bed. I couldn't tell Lucy that I'm a prince. As much as I trust her, I have to be cautious.
"You should probably wash up. I'll do it after you," Lucy said. I nodded my head and went inside the bathroom. My teeth cleaned and my body all washed, I got out and saw new clothes on my bed. A note was placed above it and I looked to see that it was from Lucy. I read the note to myself.
"Dear Natsu, I went out to get you new clothes. Don't worry, I'll be back. I need to find clothes for myself too." I put the note to the side and tried on the clothes she gave me. It was really comfortable. Better than the clothes I wore in the castle. They were either too tight or too fancy.
"What time is it?" I heard somebody asked. I looked down and saw Petunia waking up from her sleep. She looked at me with an adorable smile on her face.
"Morning, Petunia. How did you sleep?" I asked.
"Great! I had the best dream ever! I was walking around the shore and I discovered that I had the power to breathe underwater. I jumped into the ocean and I was able to see hundreds of fish. They looked so delicious. I was about to eat one, but I woke up. I wish I kept on sleeping," Petunia said sadly. I rubbed her head and looked at the fish that Lucy got from the festival. It's small, but it's really pretty.
The door opened and I saw Lucy with a new dress on. She gave me a small wave and dashed towards the bathroom. She slammed the door shut and remembered to lock it. It was probably an emergency. After a few minutes, Lucy opened the door and sighed happily.
"I'm done! Let's go, Natsu!" Lucy said as she closed the bathroom door behind her. I nodded my head and carried Petunia over my shoulders. Locking the door to our room, I forgot about the fish and hurried back to go get it. I opened the door again and the fish was gone. I went up to the counter and there were no traces on how the fish left.
"Petunia, did you eat the fish?" I asked, slightly mad. Petunia shook her head. The look in her eyes were sincere. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind that blew right through me and I realized that the windows were open. I never remembered opening the windows. Then again, I do have a horrible memory.
I locked the door again and I caught up with Lucy. She gave me a smile, but it immediately faded away when she couldn't find her fish. How did it even disappear in the first place. It's not like someone was following us.
