Lucy's POV

Today is officially the day. Next period, Natsu and I present our history project to the entire class.

We stayed up so late last night making all the final touches and perfecting the transitions to all the clips in the video. We even have a short speech before, in between, and after.

I swear if we don't get like extra credit on this project or anything less than a 100% I'm gonna through major hands.

"Luce, stop overthinking. We will crush it next period. I'm really fired up." Natsus voice snaps me out of my deep though and his hands wrap around my waist.

"You're right. We got this." I reply.

*ring ring* "that's the two minute bell, we better start heading to class dumby."

"Yeah let's go." Natsu intertwines his fingers with mine and we start heading to the history wing.

"Okay class, today is Natsu and Lucy's presentation. What did you two do your project on again?"

"The history of fiore sir." I respond.

"We prepared a documentary along with extensive research about important locations within fiore that created the history of our town." Natsu adds on.

I hit the play button on the computer that is hooked up to the classrooms projector, Natsu turns the lights off, and our presentation begins.

We both stand on different sides of the projector and watch in silent as the video plays.

My heart developed a fuzzy and bittersweet ache as I relive all the moments and adventures Natsu and I went on to make this video.

The rock wall, the nursing home, the fountain, the festival, the ice skating rink, it's all flooding back. It feels like forever ago, I was annoyed to be paired with Natsu, and now I spend most of my free time with him.

It's funny to me how a school project can completely change your life. I used to keep to myself, focusing solely on school and really I only depended on levy. Now, I have Natsu, levy, Gajeel, gray, Juvia, erza, and even Lisanna.

Oh my god, remember when Lisanna tripped me at the ice skating rink? She hated me. Or when I thought Natsu was still with her. Now she's one of my favorite people, and she is so happy with Bickslow now.

See. Forever ago. Yet, that was only half a year ago.

I reach up to my necklace Natsu had given me from Warrod. I fiddle with it nervously as the video slowly progresses toward the end.

I wish Warrod was here to see the finished product...

"And there you have it, these locations seem almost insignificant to someone who has lived here their entire life-" Natsu begins.

"But, we never take into consideration how valuable the history of where we were raised is." I continue.

"We personally suggest you all go on adventures of your own to these locations and more around fiore.." Natsu says.

"After all, this is the history behind us."I say looking at Natsu.

"All of us." He adds.

The class cheers and claps at our presentation and I feel the weight of the entire school year lift off my shoulders.

Natsu and i smile at each other, and then we sit in our seats watching the remaining presentations until the bell rings.

A short, bittersweet ending.
