Like A Cinderella Story (GrayLu)

LACS 15

"Gray?"

The prince almost jump as he heard his mother's voice and when he turned his back, he saw her mother walking towards her.

"Mother.." Gray bowed and the Queen signals him to raised his head up.

"What are you doing here?" She asks, softly.

The prince blinks and then look back where he was looking earlier, and the girl was nowhere to be found.

'Huh? Where did she go?' Gray's thought.

"Gray?"

"Uh- I was just looking for you, mother." He quickly replied.

"Oh, is that so? I was just talking with a friend,  she was here earlier- it's disappointing you didn't get to meet her, maybe next time? " she patted Gray's head.

Gray just nodded confusingly, quite not interested.

"Why are you looking for me?" She asked with a smile.

"Because I've missed you." Gray simply answer that made her mother laughs a bit, oh- this boy.

"Mother misses you a lot too."

The Queen and the prince spend the rest of the day together, the little girl was forgotten while he was with her mother but it imprinted on his mind.

Who's that little girl?

He can clearly remembers that he saw  a girl at the meadow wearing the same dress color, he couldn't identify if its the same dress though.

'Must be a coincidence.' His final thought.

"Are you okay, mom?" Lucy asked Layla who was a bit pale, Jude gently squeezed his wife's hand and she squeezes back.

"Im fine sweetheart, dont worry." She smiled even if she's feeling a little bit dizzy.

Lucy finally slumped back on her sit, even though she's still worried about her mother- her parents said that Layla is okay.

Her icy royal blue dress sprawled on her sit as she did it, its the dress that her father gave her.

Lucy never noticed the sharing look that her parents are having, thats a good thing for them- they dont want to worry their daughter.

The little Heartfilia unconsciously landed her eyes at the window of the carriage- the castle is still visible.

She and Loke spend a little time together, she said her sorry for not being with him and Levi at his birthday but its not a big deal to Loke, especially Lucy didn't forget to give him her gift.

But what little Lucy can't forget, is the kid who can beautifully fight.

She can only do is, wonder who is that boy.

"Who are you?" Gray asked, confused on his tone.

The girl in front of her faces him slowly,  but even so- he cant see the girl's face.

"Who are you?" The girl asked back as she tilted her head, her blonde hair falling on her right side a bit.

Gray confusingly stares at the girl, studying her.
