Mating Season: Total Uproar (✔)

Final Stage

Time Skip: Two Weeks Later

3rd Person POV

After Makarov had explained what was going on to the Sabertooth Slayers, Yukino, and Kagura, and after Minerva had been healed, they all left and headed back to the Sabertooth guild. Minerva promised Makarov that she could handle it and would contact Fairy Tail if anything were to happen.

Gray had forgiven Natsu, and had agreed to stay away from Lucy until the month was over. He also warned every other guy in the guild, and, since most were already afriad of Natsu, they agreed. Erza and Juvia even came to the infirmary a couple times to visit, as did Happy and Pantherlily.

The next couple of weeks went by, and the other two pairs had completed the "dream" stage.

Natsu's dream was particularly frightening. He had dreamed that Igneel had come back to fight Acnologia, but, in the process, Lucy had gotten hurt badly when Igneel's attack missed and hit her instead.

She had to be taken to the infirmary, and when she had finally awoken, Natsu walked in to find her laying in bed with a shirtless Leo (Loke) and kissing Gray, who was straddling her small frame.

Lucy (the actual Lucy who was witnessing this) watched as Natsu darted out of the room, tears streaming down his face as he ran to find Igneel, eventually doing so and asking that Igneel kill him. Lucy dropped to her knees and screamed in horror as she watched Igneel swipe his clawed hand, sending Natsu flying into the face of a jagged rock not too far away.

Blood trickled out of his mouth as he lay there, unable to move, and muttered one final word...

"Lucy..."

It had been excruciatingly painful for Lucy to watch, and when she'd finally snapped out of it, she didn't talk to Natsu for a couple of hours. They were alright now, inseperable even.

Laxus's dream hadn't been too bad, although it had still brought Mira to tears.

He had dreamed that Mira was dressed in a bikini and was at the bar serving drinks to a bunch of guys who were obviously drunk. One of them had reached out and pulled her top off, revealing her giant breasts. Laxus tried to go to her, but he looked to find that he had been chained to one of the pillars as well as the floor.

The real Mira had actually tried to unchain him, but she couldn't, and had to watch with tears flooding her vision as the drunken men groped her, climbing over the bar and touching her body. One man placed a dirty hand over mouth as she tried to scream for Laxus, and the others kept on touching her, pulling at her hair and gripping her skin so tight that it left bruises behind.

When Mira had "come back", she noticed that Laxus had wrapped her up in a sweatshirt, 3 blankets, and had been hugging her super tight, not showing any signs of letting go. Mira actually giggled, and Laxus had started crying because he thought that she though that the dream was funny. She quickly told him that that was not the case, and he continued to cry because "she cared so much". Mira rolled her eyes at his being over emotional.

Now, the four pairs were sleeping in their rooms. Romeo and Wendy were still in the basement, and the others were still residing in the infirmary.

Lucy and Natsu lay side by side in one of the cots, holding each other close, when they heard a scream coming from across the hall. They both shot up and darted out of the room, meeting a frazzled Mira and a confused Laxus outside the door.

Lucy reached out and opened the door, and they all peeked in.

Levy was huddled up against the wall opposite the cot that she and Gajeel had been sleeping in, clutching her hand to her chest and panting hard. She glanced up when she saw the others come in and pointed to the cot.
