Entering the bathtub now full of warm , tempting water

Taken over by panick , Natsu threw herself.. himself inside the bathtub. The hot water hit her...him as a brickwall; yet, after taking some long, deep breath, Natsu regained her... his self-control. But this time she.. he didn't think. He could not. Soft, sweet, new sensations wer siezing him from everywhere: every inch of her.. his body was feeling the intense heat of the water. It had been a long time since Natsu had felt the feeling of heat on her.. his skin . But this time it was different. The heat wasn't hurting him.. her, nor it was causing pain as the first time Igneel had made him hold it in her..his bare hands. Now the heat was a source of pleasure: it was easying the tension inside her... his limbs, smoothening the fear and complexively calmng him.. her down.

Thought of running away didn't occupy his .. her mind anymore. Instead, all he.. she care for at the moment was to be snug in the warm , pleasing water. As the relax softened his senses, Natsu began loosing himself once again to Lucy, but this time it was far stronger than before. It's not like he was taken by surprise. Lucy's brain just poured itself inside Natsu weakened conscioussness , all at once. Memories of joy, fear, sorrow, friendship. Memories of Lucy relating with her first spirits, growing closer to them. Memories of her hately arguing with her father, and fleeing from hom with just some money, clothes and the stellar spirits key. Memories of her ambition of becoming a member of the terrific Fairy Tail. He joy when she was finally accpted, after that Salamander had saved her from the pirates. Memories of fighting alongside Fullbuster and Dragonigneel at Garuda Island to free its inhabitants. And finally, memories of being kidnapped by Phantom Lord under her own father decision, and of definitively cutting the bridges with her own father. This, and much more, all this poured inside Natsu at once, leaving little space to fight it back.

During this life changing experience, Natsu finally began one with the body she now occupied and which she would have left no more. She explored the deepest parts of its, got acquantained with every single inch of it .

When she raised form the bathtub, a naked goddess just reborn, she felt like she was and she had always been Lucy Heartphilia, and she really was indeed. She wrapped a towel around her chest and dried her long, golden hair. Lucy then dried her voluptous body from head to toe, and kept admiring it for some time in the full-lenght mirror, turning it to every possibile angle, as if she could only now see it with proper eyes. She put on one of her pajamas and, after having put the magazines she had picked up before back to their proper shelf, she went to her desk and checked something just beside one of the wooden legs .

Good She thought It is still there. Maybe one day I will let Natsu and the other read it

She then climbed up to her bed , but she only managed to open her new book before falling asleep.

Deep inside her, the former Natsu was still struggling against the new Lucy.
