Chapter 16
"Lucy, Lucy dear please stop crying" Layla said holding her hand.
"But, but your sick Mother! And it's my fault!" Lucy cried.
"Shh Lucy, my precious daughter Lucy, listen to me. Fairy Tales are real" Layla said.
"Stop it Mother, save your strength"
"No Lucy listen to me! Your Prince Charming is out there Lucy! You must believe! Never let anyone else tell you otherwise" Layla yelled.
Lucy had never really heard her Mother raise her voice. She didn't understand. Why was convincing her to believe so important? Fairy tales didn't matter anymore to Lucy.
"Promise me Lucy you'll always believe" Layla begged.
"Alright Mother I promise" Lucy told her Mother.
"Lies. You might not believe anymore now Lucy because I'm leaving but trust me what I say you'll get a happily ever after, your Prince Charming will give it to you" Layla said.
"But it's not a happy ending if you aren't with me" Lucy cried.
"I'll always be with you in your heart Lucy. And I'll always be watching over you. I'm not dying Lucy, I'm being reborn into your Fairy God-Mother" Layla said and smiled at her daughter.
Lucy tried her best to smile back at her Mother.
"I love you Mommy" she said.
"I love you too dear" Layla said and kissed her daughter's head.
Chapter 16
The Final Chapter
We were in Magnolia in a mater of minutes, well 20 to be exact. On my way there my confidence seemed to drop.
"What if he won't see me!" I yelled.
"Bust the door open!" Gazille yelled.
"But what if he tries to make me leave"
"Then run up and kiss him!" he said.
"But, but what if-"
"Even Juvia is getting tired of your questions! Trust Julvia, when you see him you'll know what to do!" Juvia said.
Just see him... Natsu. The gates of Fairy Tail was getting closer. They didn't seem to notice us though seeing on how the gates were still closed.
"Grab the rope lover girl" Gazille said handing them to me.
I laughed grabbing them. Gazille stood up.
"Iron Dragon's Roar" Gazille roared. A metal tornado came out his mouth and blew the gates sky high.
"Why'd you do that!" I yelled.
"We're in a hurry aren't we! Seems the more time we wait the more your confidence subsides" he yelled back.
He had a point but still, he didn't have to destroy the gate. The carriage rode up to the entrance of the house. I couldn't help but let a tear fall, I really missed this place. Gazille took the ropes from me and pulled back on it. The horses stopped right in front of the house. We jumped off the carriage and saw we had gathered an audience with our commotion. It was everyone from the day that I left two days ago excluding Natsu. I guess they wanted an explanation for destroying their gate and causing such a ruckuss. The thing was though I didn't have time to explain things, I need to see Natsu.
"I ne-"
"Go Lucy we will explain" Juvia said. I looked at her and nodded.
"I'm sorry" I said running past everyone and into the house. I ran up the stairs and turned the corner my eyes never wandering far from my destination.
"NATSU!" I yelled. I was so anxious to see him. I turned the other corner and saw Lisanna standing there.
"What are you doing back?' she asked me.
I didn't have time for this.
"I came back for my Prince Charming!" I told her.
She smiled sadly.
"Save him Lucy, treat him well" she said and stepped aside. I was anticipating a fight from her but no. I smiled at her and continued running. Maybe Lisanna wasn't that bad, I guess I'll have to make up a new name for her. Maybe Lisa because of the odd smile she gave me. Right now's no time to be focusing on nicknames Luce. I arrived at Natsu's door and started banging on it.
"NATSU! NATSU! OPEN UP!" I yelled pounding.
"GO AWAY!" he roared. Wow he really did sound like a dragon.
"Natsu! It's me Lucy! Open up please!" I yelled.
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" he roared again.
Damn, how was I suppose to get in and help him if he didn't open the door?
"Smell me Natsu! It's me Lucy! On my birthday you gave me your father's tooth! It was the first gift I had ever received from you!" I yelled.
There was no response this time. I pulled out the dragon fang then looked at the doorknob. I wonder if I could unlock it using it. I've never tried picking a lock before but this wouldn't be picking, this would be jabbing a tooth into the key hole. I stabbed the fang into the key hold and started wiggling it around. Open, open, open, OPEN!
*click*
I-I- I did it. I turned the door knob and... it wouldn't budge. Don't tell me that the barrier was still on the door!
"GOD DAMMIT NATSU OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW! WHY IS THERE STILL A BARRIER AROUND IT IF I WASN'T EVEN HERE ANY MORE!? I DID NOT RISK MY LIFE AND RUN UP ALL THOSE STEPS JUST TO SAY I LOVE YOU TO A DOOR!" I yelled.
The door open and standing in there was Natsu. His clothes were all wrinkly, there were bags under his eyes, and scars along his arms. What has he been doing to himself? I looked passed him and saw his room was trashed. Feather's everywhere, his dresser completely ruined, the door to the closet was broken in half laying on the ground, even the lamp that I threw at him was still broken on the floor.
"Natsu..." I said. I caused this. I made him do this to himself. Natsu stood there looking disbelief.
"It really is you" he said quietly.
"Once you see him you'll know what to do"
Juvia was a liar. I didn't know what to do, actually I didn't know what to do first! I wanted to hug him, and kiss, and caress, and talk all at the same time. I choose to lift my hand up though and place it on his heart.
"I'm sorry I hurt you" I said closing my hands over it.
Suddenly Natsu pulled me in the room and shut the door closed again. He started yelling at me.
"I should be the one apologizing! It was my fault! I tried to convince Jii-chan to tell you but he said-!"
I brought my finger to his lips.
"Shhh! I need to talk Natsu. When I was little I told my Mother that I wanted a Prince Charming to find me and bring me to his castle filled with fairies. You did that Natsu, you broug-"
"But I'm not your Prince Charming! You sai-"
"Yes you are! I can't believe I didn't see it sooner. All this time you were right next to me. You rescued me Natsu, you set me free but I was so angry I just couldn't see it. I hated that you brought me here and forced me to marry you, it blinded me to who you really were. All those times I really was lying to myself. It was love at first sight for me Natsu. Every since I saw you eat that fire on my birthday you've always been in my mind. Ever since I've met you I've started dreaming about my Mother again. I haven't dreamt of my Mother in years, I thought I was unable to anymore. It was because of you though Natsu. You brought me such joy she came back, I think she was trying to tell me that I've found him"
I was crying at this moment.
"Nothing I could say could take back what I've put you through these pass months. You only treated me with kindness and I was just so difficult! Especially when I left! I didn't mean any of it Natsu! I had realized that I loved you and I wanted to help by bringing justice to Phantom but I was careful not to say I hated you! I never said that!"
"You said what I had done hurt you most" he said.
"I wasn't lying when I said that" I whispered.
"It hurt me when I realized you were pretending to love me. I thought since you rescued me that I should rescue you and maybe we could fall in love, in real love"
Natsu was staring me in the eyes now.
"I love you Natsu. I'm sorry it took me so long to say but I love you. I know you probably don't love me back, and might be in love with other people but I don't care. You tried to make me fall in love with you so now I'm going to make you fall in love with me. You won Natsu, my love is 100% for you!" I cheered.
Natsu was frozen.
"You love me?" he said.
"I do and I'm prepared to wait till the ends of earth to make you love me too. I guess that means I'm kinda proposing to you hahaha" I said and laughed.
I felt such a great weight being lifted off my shoulders.
"Juvia was right once I saw you I knew what to do. I was so worried about what to say and how to act I started losing confidence in myself but Igneel helped me. Before I go though and beg for Master to let me stay I apologize for what I'm about to do" I said.
I just wanted one more kiss. A real one with Natsu. I wanted to convey all my feelings to him so he could know I was being truthful. I wanted my lips to be dyed his color. I wanted for him to erase every second I spent with Jose. Apparently though, Natsu didn't. When our lips connected he stiffened, he didn't kiss me back. It hurt to be rejected but it was to be expected.
He only pretended to love me, it was all fake including the kisses. I pulled away from him and sighed. To bad for dyeing my lips his color. I walked passed him and tried to open the door. When it wouldn't open I laughed lightly. I can't believe I missed this door, not being able to open it was a precious memory.
"Um Natsu could you?" I asked.
He made no motion to walk over to me. I turned around and looked at him.
"Natsu" I said a little louder. He finally turned around, I saw a stray tear was falling. It hurt knowing I had caused it.
"I'm sorry, if you want me to disappear forever I will" I told him. I also had started crying.
Natsu walked up to me and crushed me into a hug.
"LUCY!" he cried out.
"NATSU!" I cried with him.
"You love me" he said.
"I love you" I said.
"I thought you hated me, I thought you left because you hated what I did to you, I thought I wasn't going to see you again"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Natsu! Please forgive me"
"I realized I couldn't live without you, I didn't want to live without you! I loved..." Natsu let the sentence die out.
"You what Natsu?" I asked.
He looked me in the eyes.
"I love you" Natsu said.
"Real or fake?" I asked him.
He smiled.
"Real" he said, I had a feeling he was about to kiss me.
Natsu grabbed my face between his hands, forcing me to look up into his ardent, determined eyes. I gasp, and his mouth swoops down. He's kissing me, violently. Briefly our teeth clash, then his tongue is in my mouth. Desire explodes like the Fourth of July throughout my body and I'm kissing him back, matching his fervor, my hands knoting in his hair. I pour all the angst and hearbreak of the last few days into our kiss, binding him to me, and it hits me, in a moment of blinding passion, he's doing the same. He breaks off the kiss, panting. His eyes luminous with love, firing the already heated blood that is pounding through my body.
I didn't have a doubt in my mind anymore. He loves me! He really loves me!
"So you went undercover to bring a mad wizard to justice to prove you loved me?" Natsu asked.
"Also to prove I was good enough for Fairy Tail. I know it sounds crazy but-"
"You were always good enough for Fairy Tail Lucy you just didn't realize it" he said.
"I realize it now Natsu, I love you" I said. I wanted to scream it for all of Magnolia to hear. I wanted to make up all those times he told me he loved me, even if they were fake.
"No more lies Lucy" he told me.
"No more Natsu, let's try and be something real so... um... would you go out with me?" I asked.
He laughed.
"Yes, would you marry me?" he asked.
"... you still want to marry me?" I asked.
Our relationship was kinda a lie.
"Yes those first few times I was lying, I didn't love you, but I did feeling something! I learned it was something more though thanks to Gazille" he said.
"Yes I'll marry you!" I smiled and hugged him.
"Aw Natsu she liiiiiikes you" a voice said. I froze and looked around. Was someone spying on us?!
"Happy!?" Natsu said. He turned around towards the window, his arm still around me. There standing outside the window, well flying, was a blue cat with wings! WINGS!
"Aye! Natsu!" he said.
Natsu released me then walked up to the window to let the talking blue cat in. The blue kitty hugged Natsu's face and started crying.
"Aw Natsu! Master told me you were depressed and I came flying right over!" the kitty cried.
"Happy!" Natsu said then pulled the cat off his face.
"Thank you Happy, I'm better now. I'd like you to meet someone" he said and walked up to me.
"Meet my Princess, Happy this is Lucy we're getting married" Natsu said.
"Your marrying a princess!" Happy yelled.
"Well she's not your typical princess" Natsu whispered to the cat.
I ignored his comment and bend down to kitties level.
"Hello um Happy was it?" I asked.
"Aye!"
"I'm Lucy. Your such a cute cat" I said and started petting him.
Happy started purring, AW SO CUTE!
"I like her Natsu" Happy purred.
"Yeah me too" Natsu said.
I smiled at him.
"Well I need to go back down and help Gazille explain what just happen an hour ago, I'll let you two catch up" I said trying to exit. The door was still locked.
"Wait!" Natsu said and grabbed me.
"Yes?"
"Stay, we have much to discuss like about you and Gazille" he said. I heard a hint of jealously in his voice.
"I need to beg your Gramps to let me stay" I told him.
"Trust me he'd be mad if you didn't stay with me and make me happy" Natsu said and dragged me onto the bed, well what was left of it. Natsu and I layed side by side with Happy curled up between us.
"There's so much we don't know about each other" he said.
"And yet were getting married" I told him.
Natsu smiled, "So do I go first? Or do you want to start" he asked.
I snuggled closer to him.
"Tell me, tell me your story" I said.
"Well I can't remember much about my childhood before Igneel, but that isn't important. Igneel was a fierce red dragon and my Father..."
There was so much things I didn't know about Natsu. Like how he grew scales when he was angry, or how he could only name food once Igneel left him, how he found a dragon egg that was in fact Happy with Lisanna and watched him hatch. So many Fairy Tail stories about everyone it was so funny. The most painful thing he told me was about his Father when he left him and how long he searched for him until Gramps found him. When it came to my turn I felt a little self- conscious.
My life story wasn't as nearly as interesting as Natsu, but he still listened with interests. My most painful memories were about my Mother. She was just so kind, it shocked everyone how she just died all of a sudden. Natsu kissed me though and comforted me. We ended up staying in his room and talking all night. I don't know when we fell asleep, maybe around dawn, but we woke up when someone came pounding on our door.
"Hey sorry to interrupt your reunion but breakfast" someone yelled through the door.
We moaned.
"FISH!" Happy yelled and started flying.
"You weren't kidding when you said he loved fish" I mumbled.
"Yeah morning" Natsu said and kissed my head.
"Morning" I responded and blushed lightly.
I sat up and looked around his room.
"You really trashed this room Natsu, it's going to be hell cleaning it" I said.
Natsu scratched the back of his head.
"Well I couldn't believe you left and was angry so I kind of took it out on the room" he said.
I grabbed his arm.
"And yourself" I said tracing his marks.
"Not purposely" he said.
I frowned, "sorry Natsu for leaving you" I told him.
"Hey smile, you had to do what you had to do I'm just glad your back. I slept wonderfully last night by the way, I've become so used to sleeping with you once you left I found it impossible too" he said.
"I know what you mean" I said.
"FISH! FISH! FISH!" Happy cheered.
I had forgotten he was still flying around the room.
"I'ma take a shower now, haven't in a few days " Natsu said getting up.
I nodded.
"Happy watch her" Natsu joked.
"Aye sir!" he said.
"I'm not going to escape Natsu" I said. Not anymore now that I've got you.
"Like you could if you wanted too. You know-"
"You'd always find me" I finished.
He just smirked and shut the door.
"You liiiike him" Happy said when Natsu was taking his shower.
"Is it that obvious?" I asked.
"Yeah I've never seen Natsu act like this before" Happy said.
"Really? Not even with Lisanna?" I asked.
"... well maybe a little bit but he never did anything about it, he did something with you" he said.
"Where have you been hiding?" I asked Happy and went to hug him.
I should be getting dressed instead of praising a cat. I remembered though I left all suit cases at Phantom's since I was in a rush to leave. I had no clothes except for the one's on my back.
"Lucy, special delivery" Leo said summoning himself from my key. In his hands were MY SUIT CASES!
"Leo how?" I asked.
"We were in such a rush to leave I knew you had forgotten something so surprise I went back" he said dropping them.
I walked up and hugged him. Leo lifted me up and spun me around.
"Aw Leo thank you I love you!" I said then froze.
The last time I saw Leo he confessed his love to me. I wonder how he would take me saying that?
"I mean-"
"I know Lucy he's your Prince Charming" Leo said putting me down.
I touched his cheek and smiled.
"I do love you though but only-"
"As a Master and slave kinda way?" he asked and winked.
"Ugh I'm trying to have a moment and your still such a flirt" I told him and slapped his shoulder playfully. Leo was going to be just find.
"Would you have me any other way?" Leo asked.
We laughed until I heard the bathroom door open. Natsu came out the bathroom only wearing a towel around his waist, his hair still wet dripping on the floor, and his bangs! His bangs were covering his eyes! My face felt hotter and hotter the longer I looked at him, I had look away. Something about Natsu not wearing any clothes except for a towel that was tied REALLY loosely around his waist, his chest showing, and his hair dripping wet covering his scorching eyes stirred something inside me.
Why couldn't he had gotten dressed in there? I had forgotten how Natsu's chest looks! Ugh I'm being such a pervy Lucy stop checking him out. I remembered I was being hugged by Leo right about now so I lightly pushed him away. Leo walked up to Natsu and grabbed his shoulder.
"Take good care of her, not a single tear you hear?" Leo said.
Natsu looked up to him and nodded. Leo nodded back and with that he disappeared. Natsu's attention went back to me and my attention went back on the floor.
"Why aren't you looking at me Lucy?" Natsu said. I could hear his smirk growing.
"No reason" I said. Natsu walked up to me. I could feel the heat emitting from his body.
"Lu-Cy" Natsu said and made me look at him.
I felt my blushing deepening. I was pretty sure if I looked down my toes would be red also.
"Were going to be late for breakfast if you don't get dressed" Natsu said then let go of me.
I grabbed a suit case and ran into the bathroom embarrassed. I could hear Natsu's laughter from behind the door. I decided to take a shower to cool myself off then got dressed. Natsu was waiting for me outside the door like always.
"Ready?" he asked and held out his hand.
I reached for it.
"Yeah" I said.
"Let's go sir!" Happy yelled and we left Natsu's room.
Seems I had left all my confidence in Natsu's room too.
"What am I going to say? What if he doesn't let me stay?" I mumbled.
"Relax he is" Natsu said soothing me.
"But what if he doesn't?" I asked.
"Well we'll run away together right Happy?" Natsu said.
"Aye" Happy said.
"And go search for you Father" I added and smiled.
"Yeah, after we marry" Natsu said.
"That sounds like a plan" I said.
My confidence was back thanks to Natsu. That and my dragon tooth...?
"One sec Natsu" I said and let go of his hand. I was running back to his room when I was suddenly yanked back.
"I'll go with you" he said, Natsu had grabbed my hand.
"I'm not going anywhere"
"I know but I just want to be with you"
We walked back to our room and I had Natsu pull out Igneel's fang from the door, since I was unable to, the fact was it really jammed in there.
"All this fuss for Dad's tooth?" Natsu asked.
I squeezed it in my hand. "It gives me courage" I told him.
Natsu smiled and we walked hand and hand downstairs and into the kitchen with Happy on Natsu's head. I felt so nervous I tried to hide behind Natsu. The gang was all here Bluey, Red, Pony, Tiny, Drunky, Peircy, Perverted Old Man, Lisa, and Droopy.
They were just staring at me and Pinky. Natsu and I walked up to our seats and sat down. Happy jumped down from Natsu's head and sat on my lap since there was no chair set out from him. All eyes were still on us. Finally someone spoke.
"Glad to see you here Natsu" Gramps said.
Natsu replied by holding up two fingers.
"Two words. Hun-Gry" he said.
Everyone started laughing at the table, including me and Happy.
"Natsu hungry is one word. It has two syllables though" I told him.
"Whatever! Feed. Me!" he roared.
Natsu reached out for food on the table and then started pigging out. It seems everyone else took that as their cue that breakfast was served. I reached and grabbed a fish and put it on my plate for Happy then grabbed an apple for myself.
I was so nervous on how today was going to turn out I lost my appetite. No one had mentioned anything yet and I wasn't about to be the one who brought it up so I stayed quiet and ate my apple in peace.
Natsu on the other hand was eating everything in sight. I guess starving a dragon for 2 days can do that. Mira had to leave twice to bring in more food. I finished my apple and just watched everyone interact with each other. I really did learned to love Fairy Tail, I can't imagine how my life would have turned out it my Father hadn't been evil and sold me. I must go back and thank him one day.
"You're awfully quiet Lucy don't you have anything to say" Gramps asked me. Suddenly I was everyone's top interest. I opened my mouth about to apologize for everything until Gramps interrupted me.
"Keep in mind Gazille told us everything" Gramps added.
I looked at everyone.
"Could I join Fairy Tail?" I asked them.
They all smiled widely.
"What do you say guys?" Master asked.
"HELL YEAH!" they cheered.
I knew all was forgiven. Mira had gotten up and grabbed my right hand. She stamped it. I looked down and saw a pink Fairytail symbol on it. I really was a member now.
"I have an announcement to make!" Natsu yelled standing up.
Oh no.
"Me and Luce are getting hitched!" Natsu yelled, he roared fire while he said it.
Gramps looked at me.
"It seems I've fallen for him" I told him.
Gramps then grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"Oh all my wedding plans weren't for nothing! They're really having a wedding! We already have all the things you two can be married by the next week!" Mira smiled and cheered to herself.
Married at 16. Every Princess's dreams.
"Party!" was what all the other's only seemed to hear though.
"HOLD IT!" Gramps yelled ruining everyone's celebrating.
"Let's not forget Lucy is only 16 and Natsu your only 17 and want to go on a quest to search for your Father. You want to get married with such a goal like that?!" Gramps asked.
"Well I was thinking for our honeymoon we could travel around searching for Igneel" I spoke.
Natsu grinned at me. "I'd like that. See Jii-chan everything is going to work out" he said.
"And what about after? After you fulfill your quest are you going to run the company?" Master asked.
"I keep telling you to tell your REAL grandson to become it" Natsu said.
"You know for obvious reasons why he can't become Master! Natsu you need to think of yours and Lucy's future. I just think you two are to young to be getting married" he said.
"You were going to marry us two days ago" I told him.
"Fake and you know it! Liked I would have really married you two for real ha!" Gramps said.
Maybe he did have a point. My Mother and Father we in there 20's when they got married. Natsu and I had barely hit adolescence. Also Mother did say once if I were to marry a Prince Charming I would become a Queen and him a King. I don't want to be a Queen at my age! Queen's are all old! I wanna stay a Princess in my youth.
"Maybe he's right Natsu" I told him. Natsu looked at me.
"Not you too!" he said.
"I'm not saying I won't marry you Natsu, I'm just saying maybe we should wait" I said.
"Yeah Natsu how will we know your relationship would even last?" Gray said. Wrong move.
Suddenly Natsu, Gazille, Juvia and I were sending death glares at Gray. I wouldn't have risked my life if I wasn't planning to be with Natsu forever. Juvia slapped him on the back of his head, that made us calm down.
"Why do you want to get married so badly in the first place Natsu?" Happy asked.
"Simple. To make BABY IGNEEL'S!" he yelled.
Things today have gone from bad to worse. I don't think I've ever been this embarrassed before the day had even started.
"NATSU!" I yelled.
"What? It's true" he said.
"Does he even know were babies come from?" I heard Gazille whisper.
"Of course I do they come from eggs right!" Natsu said.
...
"Natsu no marriage until you take over the company end of discussion" Gramps said.
But Natsu wouldn't have it. He put his put down, literally he stomped his foot on the table right in front of Master Gramps.
"Let's go, me and you Jii-chan right now! If I win Lucy and I are getting married today!" Natsu said.
"Alright" Jii-chan smirked then his fist became a giant again and punched Natsu. He flew out the window and all the way to the fishing lake.
"It's seems that's settled, why don't you go help him Happy" I said.
"Aye, sir" Happy said and flew off.
"Well Breakfast is over now thanks to Natsu you may all return to your businesses" Master Gramps said getting up and leaving.
I quickly stood up and ran after him.
"Master Gramps wait!" I yelled.
"Master? Gramps?" he asked.
"Well your name was Gramps because of Natsu and now your name is Master since I joined hence forth Master Gramps" I said.
"Very clever" Master Gramps said.
"Well I was wondering if you could do a few things for me?" I asked.
"Let me guess you want a different room than Natsu?" he asked.
"No! I love sleeping with Natsu, not that kind of way. I was wondering if you could take the spell of so I could enter and leave his room freely. Now that I know everything and have decided to stay there's really no need for it" I told him.
"Alright" he said and nodded.
"Secondly could I request a day off? I want to visit my Father" I told him.
Gramps looked at me.
"See your Father? What for?" he asked.
"Well we left on bad terms and I just want to make things right between us" I said.
"... I see. Alright your permitted to go take Erza and Natsu with you though" Master Gramps said.
"Natsu's enough" I said. I had something else planned other than visiting my Father.
Master Gramps looked at me.
"Plus Happy" I said.
"Fine ask Erza for the carriage though" he added.
"Well I was thinking of walking since Natsu get's motion sickness" I said.
"Fine! Whatever! Just go!" Master Gramps said.
"Thank you Master Gramps" I said and walked back to Natsu's room.
Natsu was trying to look at himself in the broken mirror when I go there in a fresh new outfit.
"Hey Luce what do you want to do today? We can go on your very first mission!" Natsu said.
"I'm walking to visit my Father" I told him.
"Oh well maybe when you get back" he said.
I laughed. "Your not going with me?" I asked.
"Huh well I just thought since it was your Father and all I would ju-"
"Natsu please come with me?" I asked sweetly.
Natsu smiled.
"How could I refuse" he said then walked up and kissed me.
"MISTRESS LUCY!" Ms. Supetto cried when she saw me walking through the front doors of the Kozern Estate.
"Ms. Supetto!" I cried too hugging her.
"Aw Mistress Lucy it's been so long are you okay? Are you healthy?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine" I told him. She let go of me and looked at Natsu.
"And whose this?" she asked eyeing him.
"Prince Charming himself, Natsu" I said and smiled.
She looked back at me.
"Your Mother would be proud" she said. This time I didn't doubt her.
"I know. Is my Father around?" I asked.
"He's in his studies as usual is that the only reason for your visit today?" she asked.
"Sadly it is, I'm just going to talk to him it was nice seeing you again" I said grabbing Natsu's hand.
"You must at least stay for lunch! The other's would like to see you!" she said.
"I would but I have other plans today" I told her.
"I understand well I guess I'll pack you something and we'll see you off again" she said.
"I'd like that. And this time I'll smile and wave back" I said.
Ms. Supetto hugged me again.
"I'm glad your happy Lucy" she said.
"Me too" I said then slipped her a piece of paper.
She looked at me but I said nothing and walked up my old stairs.
"She was nice" Natsu said.
"Aye sir" Happy added.
"Yeah she practically raised me. So would you like to wait in my old room or in the kitchen? I'm sure Mr. Eido can cook you two up something while I'm busy" I said.
"And miss a chance seeing your old room ha!" Natsu laughed.
"My room it is" I said and led him there. When we entered my room everything was exactly how I'd left it. My bed, my dressers, the curtains, everything was untouched.
"Wow very... lady like" Natsu said walking around.
"Well yeah I am a lady" I said watching him.
He jumped onto my old bed and layed there.
"So soft" he mumbled.
"Aye, sir" Happy mumbled with him.
"You two get comfortable I'll be right back" I said.
"You sure you don't want us to go with you" Natsu asked.
"No I can do this. Besides with your hearing I'm pretty sure you could hear our conversation" I said then left.
I whispered something once I closed the door.
"Love you too!" Natsu yelled and I laughed.
I walked down the halls into my Father's studies. When I entered he looked up from his paperwork at me.
"What are you doing back here?" he asked.
"Hello to you too Father" I said.
I took a seat in front of his desk.
"You were married off, you weren't suppose to come back" Father said.
"Father is the reason you treat me this way because I look so much like Mother? Or is it that greed has just blinded you?" I asked.
"I won't have you back talking me young-"
"I'm not back talking, I'm just asking my Father a simple question why he hates his own daughter so much he had to get rid of her" I said.
Father glared at me.
"I'm not here to fight with you today Father, but I should be seeing everything you did to me, but I'm not. I was planning on never seeing you again after what you did but I've come to tell you I forgive you" I said.
Father still glared.
"I also want to thank you. Selling me was the best decision you've ever made involving me. It's thanks to you that I met my Prince Charming and it's thanks to him that I have the courage to confront you like this" I said. I was squeezing Igneel's tooth now.
"Were going to get married and live happily ever after and it was all because of you so thank you" I told him.
Father was silent after I spoke. I took it as my cue to get out and leave. Before I closed the door never to see my Father again I spoke to him.
"One more thing, Mom says hi" I said then shut the door, shutting him out my life. I walked back down the halls and saw Natsu and Happy standing outside my bedroom door.
"Ready" he asked holding out his hand.
I nodded and grabbed it. When we walked downstairs all my servants were there.
"Mistress Lucy!" they yelled out. I ran down and hugged them all.
"Were glad to see you well" they said.
"Yes thank you all for taking such wonderful care of me" I said.
I only greeted them for a few minutes, but they would be minutes I would never forget.
"Here Lucy some food on your way back home" Ms. Supetto said handing me a basket. Natsu grabbed it from me and held it.
"Is it?"
"Yes dear take care now don't forget to write us" Ms. Supetto said.
I said good-bye to everyone and Natsu and I started walking through town.
"Alright now that that's over we can go back home after lunch" Natsu said eyeing the basket.
"Nope! We have one more stop to make" I said and dragged him. I took the basket from his hands and opened it looking for the thing I asked Ms. Supetto for. It was wrapped up in a little box.
"What's this place Luce?" Natsu asked.
"A church" I said looking up. It wasn't as fancy as the one in Magnolia's but it would do. I grabbed Natsu's hand and walked in.
"What are we at a church for?" he asked.
"To get married silly" I said.
We walked down the aisle hand in hand.
"What married?!" Natsu said ruining the moment.
"Yeah not a real marriage, since there's only us here, but I guess a real one between us. Happy here could be our minister" I said.
"Aye, Sir!" Happy smiled and flew to the end of the aisle.
"But-"
"I felt bad since you wanted to marry me. So here we are, I do want to marry you Natsu but right now I want to do it between us" I said.
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Alright let's do this!" Natsu roared.
We continued down the aisle until we stood in front of Happy.
"We are gathered here, Aye sir, to see the marriage of Natsu Dragneel and Lucy... Lucy Luce" Happy said.
I giggled.
"Do we have the rings?" Happy asked.
"I do" I said pulling out the box. Natsu glanced at me.
"I had Ms. Supetto run out and buy me one for you" I said opening the box and holding it.
"Um I think your suppose to say something now while putting on the ring" Happy said pondering.
I nodded. "With this ring I promise to love you forever and to cherish you always" I said slipping the ring on Natsu's finger. It was a simple vow but I meant it.
"Good thing I brought this along with me" Natsu said pulling out a box of his own.
"No..." I whispered.
"Yeah" he said opening it. It was a gold band with a pink diamond in the middle.
"When?" I asked.
"Jii-chan did say I should buy you a ring to make it seem more realistic. That day we jumped over the wall, I kinda lost you on purpose to go buy you this" he said, a tint of red on his cheeks.
"But why pink?" I asked. I would have though he would have bought a red diamond since he was fire.
"It's not pink it's salmon" he said.
I laughed again.
"With this ring I promise to love and protect you with my life from now till the ends of time" Natsu said slipping the ring onto my ring finger.
I had tears in my eyes.
"Do you Lucy take Natsu to be your dragon?" Happy asked.
"I do"
"And do you Natsu take Lucy to be your princess?" Happy asked.
"I do" he said.
"I now pronounce you Dragon and Princess you may kiss, AYE!" Happy cheered.
"I love you" I whispered before he kissed me.
I've reached it Mother. I've reached my happily ever after, and it was only about to get better.
And they lived happily ever after. The end.
