"Natsu, get up!"

Here we go again.

I open my eyes and slowly sit up. My stomach is uneasy from the movements of the train that stopped only moments ago.

I sigh as I look around me.

The same people every single time, doing the exact same things.

The train's horn blares loudly and Happy tugs on my shirt.

"C'mon, the train's leaving soon."

"I'm coming."

I stand up groggily and make my way towards the train doors.

My eyes wince slightly when I step down from the train into the sun.

I've seen all of these people walking around before, multiple times actually.

I've seen all of these people repeatedly, but they're unimportant.

My feet follow the path that I walk every time and Happy flies beside me.

"Where are we going, Natsu?"

"To Salamander."

Happy nods.

"Well if we do find him what are you going to do?"

I keep walking, my eyes following a group of girls that run off in the direction I'm going.

It's unimportant what I do to Salamander. But what I haven't thought about is what I'm going to say to Lucy this time. Eventually, I have to get it right. As long as I keep trying, I'll finally be able to see her alive three years from now.

"Something I haven't done yet."
