FT - A Moment with you pt14

She stepped out of her bathroom with her wet hair and towel. No sign of anyone in her room. The towel was a huge robe on her and she quickly scurried across the room to her bedside drawer and began rummaging for clothes. Finding her clothes, she quickly changed by hopping around the room. Dress then socks. She accidently tripped by twisting her right ankle and fell, hitting her left ankle hard on the table leg.

"AAHHOUCCHH!" Lucy squeaked and began to tear up from the pain. Her young body was more sensitive to pain and especially with the dragon lacrima implanted in her body. The chest pain had subsided now and she was getting used to her heightened senses. She could hear the rapid thumping of feet coming closer to her room.

"LUCE! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Natsu barged in. "I'm.. okay." Lucy said as she looked up at him. "What happened? Why are you on the floor?"

"I tripped while I was changing." Lucy got on her knees and tried to get up. When she put weight on her right ankle however, pain shot through her ankle. Her left ankle wasn't any better either and so she fell on her side again. Clenching her fists and biting her lip, she whimpered from the pain.

"Lucy! What's wrong with your feet? Do they hurt?!" Natsu rushed over and gently picked her up. "What's going on here." Igneel walked up into the room. "Dad.. Lucy's hurt. We have to get her to Wendy." He said worried. "Natsu… I'm fine." Lucy said trying to calm the situation.

"DON'T LIE TO ME LUCY!" Natsu yelled. Lucy stared shocked and wide-eyed at Natsu… tears streaming down her face now. "Don't… hide anything from me any more." He shut his eyes and clenched his teeth. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Lucy's teary eyes.. his face softened as he noticed how fragile she looked. "I'm going to take care of you. I need to know if you are hurting.. because…" He looked away.. his bangs covering his eyes.

"Natsu…." Lucy said touched.

"because…" "because we are partners.." Lucy smiled. Natsu's eyes widened as he looked away from her, a small blush that Lucy couldn’t help but catch spread onto his face. It stirred something inside of her. Something she knew was there for a long time. Stop it Lucy. It’s not like that. It will never be like that and you know it. She sighed and smiled a little.

"Okay Natsu.. I'm sorry. I know you'll take care of me. Like you always have. And I will take care of you too. Now will you look at me?"

Natsu looked over at her again. He gave his signature smile.

"And you better remember that Luce. You are my Partner." He swung her around. "Hahaha… alright alright!" she grabbed on to his vest smiling widely.

Igneel watched with amusement as he raised an eyebrow at Natsu and Lucy. His arms crossed. Happy flew next to him now and covered his mouth with his paws.

"NATSU LIKES A LITTLE GIRL!" Happy laughed muffled. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA" Igneel laughed loudly.

The guild doors slammed open and Natsu walked in with Lucy in his arms.

"Woah…." People said as they watched the scene with little Lucy being carried bridal style in Natsu's arms. "Mira! Wendy! Where are you?" Natsu said aloud. "Natsu! Lucy! Oh! You look so adorable together!" Mira squealed with hearts in her eyes. She walked up to them "Mira…" Lucy said sweatdropping. Natsu blushed and cleared his throat. "Good morning Natsu-san, Lucy-san, Igneel-san, Happy" Wendy came up to them. "Yo Wendy. Lucy's ankles.. can you look at them?" "Oh Lucy! What happened?" Mira said worried. She gently touched one of her ankles and Lucy cringed. "OUCH!" Lucy tried to hold back her reaction. "Oh dear…" Mira said worried. "I think we should take Lucy-san to the infirmary." Wendy said. "That is a good idea." Mira said as they all turned to go to the infirmary.

As they walked through the guild hall to the infirmary, they passed by Gajeel, Metallicana, and Lily sitting in the darkest corner. Lucy saw them and her eyes widened as she noticed a certain object in Gajeel's mouth. Sticking out from his smirking smile was the handle of a spoon that looked all too familiar.

She pointed out to him shocked and fearing for the spoon.. Gajeel licked the spoon slowly as he teasingly pulled the spoon out of his mouth. She froze and began to blush as she watched him do so. She was about to yell at him when a new object gained her attention.

Laxus was walking down the stairs while Natsu and she were ascending up. He didn't even give her a glance and descended with his usual serious and handsome face. Lucy just stared as they passed each other and felt a growing guilt in her chest. He had still not forgiven her yet…

Soon, her sight was blocked by a wall as she entered into the hallway.

"Lucy! Lucy!" Asuka came running into the room. "Asuka!" Lucy said excited. "Hello Lucy. How are you feeling?" Bisca and Alzack "Good. Almost 100%!" she lifted her right foot in the air. Both of her ankles were wrapped up as she sat on her the infirmary bed with her small body. "Lucy.. I hope you feel better soon. That looks pretty bad.." Alzack came and sat on the bed beside her. "Up Up!" Asuka said coming to her dad.

Alzack lifted Asuka and put her on the bed with Lucy.

"Does it hurt?" Asuka said crawling onto the bed now, worried at Lucy's ankles. "mm.. a little. But its okay. Wendy said I should be all better by tomorrow." "That is good.. actually Lucy. We had a favour to ask of you." "Hm.?" "Since you won't be going on missions any time soon, can you watch Asuka for today?" "Alzack and I are going on a mission and we should be able to finish by the end of today." Bisca said smiling. "Of course! I'd love to play with her. We'll have a lot of fun won't we Asuka?" Lucy winked at Asuka. "YAY!" Asuka pumped her fists into the air. "LUCY!" Gray and Erza barged in. "Well.. that's our cue. We'll pic you up later Asuka. You be good now." Bisca and Alzack kissed Asuka and left.

Gray and Erza greeted Bisca and Alzack off. They came rushing to Lucy's side.

"Lucy.. what happened?!" Gray said sitting next to her. "Hi Asuka." He pinched her cheeks. "Hi Gray! Erza" Asuka said smiling. "Good morning Asuka. Now Lucy.. tell us what indeed happened." Erza took the other side of the bed. "Well.. I tripped." Lucy sighed.

"Oh.. that's all. What's new." Gray said putting his hands on her ankles. His hands began to frost and he started to ice her ankles gently. "You should be more careful clumsy Lucy." "Hey! I don't trip all the time." Lucy pouted.

Gray gave her the 'really?' look.

"Wow.. Gray.. do you love Lucy?" Asuka said innocently. "EH!?" Lucy said aloud. "I..I…." Gray said stuttering while blushing.

"What makes you think that Asuka?" Erza said with her normal tone. "Well.. when mom comes back from her missions and is hurt, dad will treat mom like Gray is right now. He gets her an ice pack, and massages her feet." Asuka said smiling.

"Ah.. I see." "Oh and he always takes his shirt off at home around mom and me. And… bffff!"

"Hahaha… Asuka.. no no.. your dad can go around however he wants at home.. but Gray and I are teammates. We are close good friends but we aren't going to get married like your parents." Lucy said covering Asuka's mouth. She blushed as she realized that Gray would come to her house half naked anyways.. and even nude sometimes...

Gray just sat sizzling with embarrassment and blushing.. imagining his life of being nude at home with wife Lucy. Erza seeing Gray's blushing face punched his head and knocked Gray out onto the bed.

"Don't go imagining indecent things about Lucy."

Asuka giggled and began to look depressed slowly. "What's wrong Asuka?" Lucy asked. "I wish my parents were married." "WHAT?!" Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Natsu said all together. "Natsu!" Lucy said as he walked in. "Lushy!" Happy flew into her, causing her to fall back on her bed. "What do you mean you wish your parents were married Asuka? They are!" Natsu said confused. "They.. didn't have a wedding.. they said they never had time to." "Are you sure?" Lucy said sitting up again with Happy on her lap. "I heard them talking when I pretended to sleep." Asuka said tearing up. "Well.. we'll just surprise them with one." Lucy said. "Yes. Let's plan one for them. They've done too many things on their own without us. It's our time to show our gratitude for watching over the guild while we were gone." Erza said smiling and crossing her arms.

"A wedding huh… sounds like it's going to get pretty crazy the next few days." Gray said continuing to ice Lucy's ankles. "HAHA Fairy Tail wedding style. With lots of fire and fireworks!" Natsu got all pumped up. "Oh it's going to be so much fun." "Really?! You'll really plan a wedding for mommy and daddy?" Asuka said with wide-eyes. "Yes. And you'll help make it the best wedding ever." Erza said picking Asuka up from the bed.

"OH THANK YOU THANK YOU! YOU'RE THE BEST FAMILY EVER!" Asuka yelled excitedly.

SWOOSH! "Did I hear wedding?!" Mira popped her head in through the door.

Everyone in the room laughed..

"Oh Mira..." Lucy sweatdropped. "Good timing Mira. We need to plan for Bisca and Alzack's wedding." "EEEKKK!" Mira squealed in joy.

"So when are we having this wedding?" Gray asked around. "TODAY!" Asuka said happily. "Today?! Uhm.. Asuka.. weddings don't just happen in one day…" Lucy said.

Asuka started to tear up.

"Why of course we can." Mira said with a smile "EH?!" Gray and Lucy paled. "I've been waiting for a day like this and I will not take any chances of this wedding being cancelled. I think I'll start making the preparations for the food and cake and decorations!" Mira said turning around. "No." Erza stopped Mira. "I'll be in charge of the cake."

Lucy, Gray, and Natsu shuttered at Erza's serious face. They did not want anything to do with cake and Erza.

"That is fine." Mira said smiling.

"Well… I guess I'll be in charge of ice sculptures. " "Happy and I will be in charge of fireworks!" Natsu said pumped up. "I'll be in charge of the wedding dress." Lucy said happily. "Speaking of wedding dresses… what about brides maids and grooms men?" Erza said with wide eyes.

Everyone remained silent.. "I'M GOING TO BE THE MAID OF HONOR!" Erza and Mira yelled at each other.

"What did you say? Of course it would be me not you Mirajane." Erza but her forehead into Mira's. "Haha.. silly Erza.. Bisca would want me to be the maid of honor.. She likes me more." Mira said pushing back with glaring eyes.

"WE HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS!" Lucy yelled. The guild hall was bustling about as everyone started helping with preparations. Laxus was responsible for lighting and was setting up light lacrimas around the guild hall. Shadowgear was busy with the arrangements of the tables and chairs. Gajeel and lily were helping with heavy lifting. Wendy and Grandeeney were sitting making floral bouquets with a bunch of other girls and Freed. Bixlow was helping by putting white wedding drapes on the ceiling with his babies. Cana was making alcoholic barrels of mixed drinks for the wedding and anything she could for "refreshments needed to party". Everyone was helping and those out in the mission field were called back by master Makarov using communication lacrimas.

"How will we know if Mama will like everything?" Asuka said looking around. "Like this." Lucy said smiling.

Lucy was sitting on top of a table and she lifted her arm out with a key in her hand.

"Open the gate of the twins! Gemini!"

A flash of light.. Gemini appeared floating. At that moment, Lucy's body trembled slightly as she used her magic. Unlucky for Lucy, Cana had seen and began to frown slightly.

"Pirri Pirri! We've come to play!" they both chanted. "Waaaa~!" Asuka said surprised. "Asuka these are the Gemini twins. Gemini, Asuka." "Hello Gemini." Asuka said with sparkling eyes. "Hi Asuka. Hi hi" The twins said smiling and twirling around her. "Okay Gemini, I need you to change into Bisca. Use Asuka's memories to get her exactly as possible." "Okay!"

Gemini flashed yellow light and soon… stood Bisca.

"Oh its MAMA!" Asuka said surprised. "Mhm. Gemini can change into anyone they come into contact with or from memory." "Woaahh! Cool!" Asuka said mesmerized. "Okay Gemini. What will Bisca want in her perfect wedding." Lucy said.

Bisca-Gemini turned and looked around.

"Bisca would want….." Suddenly, a tug on Lucy’s arm surprised her as Gemini and Asuka started planning.

"Cana! What are you doing?!" Lucy squealed as Cana took Lucy into a empty room and locked the door. "Spill it Lucy. What are you really doing?" "Huh?" "You aren't a kid from some medicine.. I haven't seen you once take any medicine and neither has anyone else. Trust me I've asked." "Wha…what are you talking about… I.." "You're not going to fool me Lucy. Either you tell me or I'm going to tell the entire guild you're lying." "Okay okay! You caught me.." "Well?" "I took a potion. It makes me younger." "Now why would you want to drink a potion that makes you into a little kid?" Cana said raising an eyebrow and completely confused. "I know you're cute as a pie as a kid but seriously.. you aren't going to get any boys like that"

"That's exactly why!" Lucy said frustrated and covered her face. "What?"

"That's exactly why… I.. I don't want any of the dragon slayers to start liking me." "PUHAHAHAHHAHAHHA that makes no sense Lucy. I understand Natsu… but what.. you mean Gajeel and Laxus?" "I'M SERIOUS CANA! When I was away with the future dragon slayers… they were different around me.. They really did care about me and risked their lives to save me from dying.."

Cana was silent now.. "And? What's so bad about them liking you?"

"I can't.... I don’t know how to explain... urgh! It’’s just too complicated okay? They just can’t... I mean... I can’t-” "Lucy.. if you don't like them, then you don't like them. They won't hurt you if you don't like them back or anything. If anything, you'll hurt them." "You're right, they won't hurt me." But they might hurt each other she thought to herself. "Exactly so what are you worried about?" "Agh… there's a lot of things! Not just… " "Are you sure you're not the one falling for them?" Cana said smirking. "Honestly, I'm not ready for a relationship right now.. I just got my life back. I want to explore the world and do so many things! I.." "Alright alright!" "And plus… Lisanna likes Natsu, Levy and Gajeel have an unspoken feelings for each other, and I don't know what is going on between Laxus and Mira." "Ha.. wow.. you've gotten that all figured out." Cana said sighing and looking up at the ceiling. "So I am right!"

"Kinda.. sorta.. maybe? Well.. I know that Lisanna and Natsu were pretty close before the accident. But everyone knows those two will never be more... They barely talk anymore since he’s always hanging out with you...” Lucy’s eyes opened wide at that. What? No.. that doesn’t make sense... I mean Future Natsu didn’t end up with me so... Lucy thought to herself. “You and I know that Levy totally likes Gajeel. Can't say much about Gajeel liking her back though. And Laxus and Mira.."

Lucy watched Cana closely.

"Before Lisanna's accident, Laxus and Mira.. dated." "What? Really?" Lucy was shocked. "Yea. Well the bad boy with the demon girl, they were a good couple for a while. But when Lisanna's accident happened, Mira changed and couldn't handle being in a relationship with Laxus.. I think he honestly didn't know how to deal with it and didn't want to. He isn't very sensitive ya know?" "haha..." Lucy said. This Laxus and future Laxus are completely different.. future Laxus was.. "He was such a jerk to her. Asking me to strip for him and you to be his girl in exchange for help during the phantom lord incident." "Oh… oh no…really?"

"Don't worry about it.. she was angry but she's okay now. He's changed a lot since you know.. the thunder palace thing when he lost his mind.. and I guess as of right now.. everything is up in the air."

Silence.

"If you want my honest opinion... Natsu is the one that you should be watching out for. He can’t go a second without wondering where you are. One second he’s fighting with Gray and the next he’s threatening to blow the guild to bits because you aren’t at your usual spot at the bar or sitting next to him. Don’t forget... You two created team Natsu... Before that he never teamed up with anyone. Not Erza, Not Gray, Not Lisanna... Just you.”

Lucy felt her heart pound against her chest. What....? Natsu?

“Well anyways! Now that I know why you're hiding.. you need to change back to your original self." "What! No way! Now that I know all that, I definitely don't want to change back!" Lucy crossed her arms. "Lucy! It's Bisca and Alzack's wedding! And you are going to attend in your beautiful original self in a beautiful dress with all the other girls. You can't help it that you look so dang gorgeous that they want you!" "Oh stop it Cana." "C'mon Lucy. You can go as my sexy date." Cana wiggled her eyebrows at Lucy. "Hahaha…" "Stop your worrying and just let things happen naturally. You can't stop feelings. You know that better than anyone." "sigh… okay."

Bisca and Alzack were walking back to the guild now. Things had ended as expected and it was just about sundown.

Just was they reached the guild, lightning struck and Alzack disappeared.

"ALZACK!" Bisca yelled, before she too disappeared as well.

"Let me go!" Bisca yelled as the kidnapper had covered her eyes with their hand. And suddenly, she was let free. She blinked her eyes slowly and was quickly shuffled around people she knew far too well. "What's going on!" Bisca said looking strangely at all the girls dressed so nicely.

"Come on Bisca there isn't much time!" Cana said angrily

"Time for what?" Bisca said as she was being pulled into the dresser and was being stripped. "Woahh! Wait wwaaiitt!"

She stepped out in a long dress and took a look ahead of her. There was mirror and she saw herself, in a beautiful long wedding dress. Behind her stood very happy smiling girls from her guild.

Tears started to well up.

"What… what?"

"It's your wedding day Bisca." Mira said as she came up and wiped away Bisca's tears. "And the bride shouldn't cry. You're going to make your eyes puffy."

"Come sit here." Erza said gently leading Bisca to a seat.

Lucy walked up with Cancer next to her.

"Hello Bisca. Cancer here is going to do your hair okay?" "Hello Bisca-san.. ebi" Cancer bowed. "Lucy… Mira.. Erza… everyone…" Bisca said speechless.

"Mommy mommmy!" Asuka ran into the room. "Asuka!" Bisca picked her daughter up and hugged her. "Mommy no crying. We have no time!" Asuka said happily. "Okay. Okay." Bisca sniffled. "Okay.. I'm ready."

Snip snip brush snip snip

He stood trembling and nervous. He stared at the guild doors anxiously.

"Relax man." Gray said nudging Azlack.

"Ha..ha…." Azlack said blushing in embarrassment. He didn't understand why he was so nervous. He was married to Bisca and had a beautiful daughter with her already!

Next to him stood the groomsmen. Natsu, Gray, Max, Warren, and Elfman.

Standing at the podium as Master Makarov smiling happily. Everyone else was already seated at the benches and seats for the ceremony.

Lucy snuck in the side and tried to find a seat in the front. She had a beautiful flowing dress and her hair was down. She sat down next to Macao which startled him.

"Lucy?! You're!" Macao whispered in shock.

"Shhh!" Lucy whispered smiling. "Open the gate of the Lyre! Lyra!"

A flash of light appeared near Alzack and startled everyone. Soon, Lyra appeared and bowed. She set up and began to play her harp and sing. The guild doors opened and everyone turned towards the bright entrance. The sunset was shining through. In walked in a little girl and a taller boy. Asuka the flower girl smiling and dropping petals on the ground. Alzack teared up from the sight of his beautiful daughter. And next to her walked Romeo.. as the ring boy. A pillow in his hand and a set of rings. After, Mira walked down the aisle as the maid of honor. Erza walked after, then Levy, then Cana, and last but not least, Evergreen. After the maids had taken their spots near the podium.

Then walked in Bisca with Gildarts walking her down the aisle. Bisca's eyes widened as she saw the guild hall. It was all beautiful.. so very perfect. Lyra's singing, the lighting, decorations. Then she spotted Alzack in the front.. waiting.. eyes all on her.

Bisca and Alzack smiled, tears welling…

Gildarts led Bisca to Alzack and handed her over to him. Alzack hugged Gildarts in thanks and Gildarts gave a hearty chuckle. With her hand in his, they turned to face Master Makarov.

"We are gathered here today… to join Bisca and Alzack in marriage FAIRY TAIL STYLE!"

"YEAAAAAA!" "WHOOO!" Whistling was heard. Loud cheering.

The party went on and on. Dancing and drinking. Embarrassing stories about the Cornell family was shared.. leaving Bisca and Alzack blushing in embarrassment.. but all in good fun. Gajeel even tried to sing them a song but was attacked down by several guild members. Everyone toasted to their happiness and bright future. Lucy sat smiling away next to Cana as Cana kept forcing her to try more and more of her wedding cocktails that she made. She had a pretty pink blush. To say that she looked anything but gorgeous would be an understatement. Every man in the guild had noticed her since she's reverted back to original self and the dress she had on made her look celestial, like a celestial maiden. She looked around the guild and watched everyone party. Her eyes fell on Gajeel and that was when she remembered. She stood up abruptly and began to walk over to him.

"Lucy! Where are you going?!" Cana yelled.

Cana's yell brought Laxus' attention to Lucy. He had been glancing at her from time to time. And now he was just watching her as she walked over to a certain dragon slayer. Gajeel had been watching Lucy for a while now.. but had been secretly. So when she walked over, he smirked and was inwardly roaring with delight as the bunny had come to play.

"Give it back." Lucy said frowning and lifting her hand up at him. "Give what back?" Gajeel said leaning closer. "Give me my spoon back. It's mine you thief." "Oh… This?" Gajeel said as he took the spoon out of his pocket.

Lucy tried to snatch it from him but he was too quick.

"Nah uh bunnygirl.. you called me a thief.. not very nice… I was just borrowing it." "Just please… give it back." "Hm… what's so special about it?" "It's mine! Give it back!" Lucy yelled.

Her shout caught the attention of Levy.

"Give it back to her Gajeel..." She walked over. "Tell me what is so special about it bunny girl.. and then I'll give it back to you." "There's nothing special about it. It is my spoon and you took it." Lucy said trying to reach for it in his hand over the table.

Gajeel growled.

"Nothing huh… then if you don't mind if I give it to Levy. It is JUST a spoon.. and you'd let Levy have it right? Here shrimp." Gajeel tossed it to Levy. "Gajeel!" Lucy yelled in horror.

Levy caught it and looked at the spoon in her hand. She was amazed at how pretty the spoon was and the design of a dragon and a bunny. Lucy sat back in her seat. Gajeel looked over at Lucy smirking, but his smirk slowly faded as his eyes widened. Lucy sat staring back at him. Her brown eyes showed so much pain. She fought back the tears and he could smell it.

"Lucy.. this is such a beautiful spoon. Where did you get it?" Levy asked. "From a friend…" Lucy said softly. She watched Gajeel with the pain and anger in her eyes and he watched her back with wide eyes.

Silence. A flash of light appeared and there stood Loke.

"LOKE! HEY MAN LONG TIME!" Gray and a bunch of others said aloud.

Loke stood next to Lucy. "Hello everyone. Congratulations Bisca Alzack!" "Thank you!" the happy couple yelled back.

"Gajeel, Levy." Loke greeted them. "Hi Loke." Levy said happily. "Princess…. I…." He noticed something in Levy's hand and saw the spoon. His eyes widened as he wondered why that object was in Levy's hands and not Lucy's. “Where the hell did you get that?” Loke demanded, anger evident in his voice. Levi’s eyes widened as she looked towards Lucy in confusion and saw her state. Levy noticed Lucy's silence and was confused. When she didn’t respond, Loke took a step forward, his bangs covering his eyes. “I said... where did you get that?”

Gajeel straightened in his chair and Levi hesitantly took a step back. She had never seen Loke like this before... So angry... all over a spoon...

"Lucy? Here. You can have it back." Levy extended the spoon out to her. "No.. it's okay Levy. You can have it. It's just a spoon after all." She smiled to Levy with a warm smile, though her words seemed riddled with sarcasm and spite. She kind of felt bad... Levy didn’t actually do anything. It was all...

Fury… such fury grew inside Loke. He followed her eyes to look on Gajeel, and he knew what had happened. He looked to Lucy to see if she would show any sign for him not to act... But instead, her eyes were dim and her head hung low. Quickly, he walked over to Gajeel and lifted him by the collar.

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Gajeel didn’t say anything. Instead he frowned and clenched his jaw. “You know... I was right about you. You aren’t anything like him.”

“Loke.” At the sound of his name being called by Lucy, he released the iron dragon slayer, before turning around and snatching the spoon from Levi’s hand, whilst not caring about the little squeal of surprise she gave out. He walked fast towards Lucy, grabbed her wrist and put the spoon in her hand. Lucy's hand trembled as she held the spoon in her hand, tears threatening to fall down her cheeks.

Loke pulled Lucy along by the wrist away from Levy and Gajeel.. he needed to get her away from everyone NOW.

"OIY! Can’t you take a joke?" Gajeel said angrily.

Loke faced Gajeel.

“You think this is a joke? YOU THINK EVERYTHING THAT WE WENT THROUGH IS A JOKE?” Loke raised his voice a little, and I’m doing so, caught the attention of a few guild mates that were mulling around the group. Lucy didn’t say anything. Instead, she stood there clenching and unclenching the metal utensil in her hand. “I can’t believe you.... how could you... after everything you saw... how could you treat her like this?” Loke continued, his voice cracking as his own tears threatened to fall.

To anybody else it seemed weird that Loke would lose his temper. But to Gajeel... it was evident he was talking about something more. No... this was no longer just about a spoon.

“You maybe a dragon slayer... but in reality you’re just a coward. All of you are.” Gajeel’s eyes widened and watched as Loke pushed Lucy along away from them all. He led her up the stairs of the guild and down the hallway.

"Lucy!" Levy yelled worried after her friend.

Gajeel stood watching Lucy get dragged way. He locked gaze with Metallicana who was frowning and shaking his head at him. Something definitely felt wrong. He couldn't believe how everything had turned out. It wasn't supposed to end this way. What the heck... had he done!?

Laxus had watched the entire exchange.. he took a gulp of his beer and decided that he would like to find out what exactly was going on with this celestial mage. She had been constantly on his mind as of late..

He was interested in her alright. She was stronger than he had thought, a good wife material.. he had saved her.. and his older self had been so heartbroken over her.. she was a fellow dragon slayer by lacrima.. she had unknown magic powers and teleportation like capabilities like him.. and she was looking more and more beautiful every time he looked at her.

The innocence was so alluring.

He stood up and went up to the second floor. Everyone was too busy with partying to notice him. Natsu was in a drinking contest with Gray. Juvia and Lisanna were cheering on their men and everyone was engrossed with that event.

He walked quietly towards the end of the hall, listening carefully for Loke and Lucy talking. He came to a door and started hearing Loke yelling.

"What… what were you thinking Lucy!" Loke yelled in desperation. "Lucy! They aren't here anymore! The Gajeel, Laxus, Natsu.. and Gray.. they aren't here anymore.. those guys downstairs.. they aren't the same people!"

"I know Loke.. I know" Lucy sobbed. "But that spoon.. it was mine.. he gave it to me!.. to me! And.. I know they aren't coming back.. but that is all I have to remember them by!" "If you know then why are you doing this to yourself… Our Gajeel, Natsu, Laxus, and Gray are right here.. you need to let the future guys go.. "

"I KNOW!" Lucy broke down in sobs.

Laxus froze as he heard everything.

"You think it's easy looking at them everyday knowing that they will never remember everything I went through with their future selves?! I'm trying Loke… but every time I see them.. I just miss them more and my heart breaks… It hurts so much Loke…"

"Lucy…" Loke said softly and in a pained voice.

"Everytime I see Natsu.. I'm reminded that no matter what.. I'm not the one he ends up with... I know that he cares for me but he doesn’t love me like that and he never will!”

Laxus' eyes widened.

"Gajeel… that once in my life he treated me lovingly and actually truly CARED about me… I miss his cooking and his warm smiles.... whenever I was around him I felt like everything was going to be okay."

"Gray.. was the first man who took me on the two dates that I've ever been to… and was the first man to respectfully treat me like a beautiful woman... Even when I was sick he... he never gave up on me...}

"And Laxus…."

Laxus stared at the closed door. His heart thumped faster and faster.

"Laxus who needed me and believed that I could survive everything… who wanted me as I am... Laxus loved me with everything that he had. It was evident... And Ithink a part of me loved him back too. A part of me wanted to run away and be with him. I mean they all came back even when I sent them away! But that Laxus isn’t real. He’ll never be real.... None of them will be... it’s not fair that I’ll never get to see them again..."

Lucy sobbed hard...

“C'mon Lucy.. the alcohol is getting to you… let's get you home."

Light began to shine through the cracks of the door. When it subsided.. Laxus slowly opened the door and pushed it open. The room was empty.

Laxus stood in the doorway.
