Three years later
Three years have passed since Natsu's death, a few things have changed, but Fairy Tail was never the same without the fire mage. Erza was always away on jobs to pay Lucy's rent as she lost the will to go on jobs, Happy stayed with Wendy and Carla since 'Living in a house without Natsu didn't feel right', Romeo became distant since he lost his "Big Brother", (It's the issue Romeo had during the 7 year gap). Mirajane, Levy, and Loke (as well as the rest of her spirits) tried their best to bring happiness back into Lucy's life, but without Natsu, to her happiness didn't exist anymore. As for Gray, rumor has it that he know spends his days at Mt. Hakabe, not that anyone cared about him after what he did, but Juvia checked it out and confirmed the rumor to be true. Finally, Lucy spends her days in her apartment or at the Sola tree (Episode 50) where Natsu confessed his love to her and where the two mages had their first kiss. She would always carry an album of her and Natsu, flipping through the pages filled with pictures of the couple, remembering her times with him. She also wore Natsu's scarf around her neck (Mirajane had the holes repaired and blood stains removed), never taking it off or washing it, trying to take in what was left of Natsu's scent. At night Lucy would always cry herself to sleep before drifting off into a world dreams, dreams about her beloved dragon slayer.
-Love & Lucky guild cemetery-
It was six in the morning, the sun started rising, pouring light into the cemetery, revealing all the gravestones that were once covered in darkness. As soon as the light hit the dragon statue gravestone, a man wearing a beat up white coat was revealed to be standing in front of Natsu's grave. The mysterious man chanted some ancient spell and as he did so the Dragon's Eye started illuminating. The bright light kept getting brighter until the whole cemetery was covered in the light. It lasted for minutes until it dimmed and from that light appeared a familiar silhouette...
-Lucy's apartment-
"Princess, it's time to wake up." Virgo said as she shook Lucy to wake her up.
"Mmn..." was all that came out of the celestial mage.
"Lucy-sama, its that time again." Capricorn whispered into her ear trying to see if that will wake her up. And to no avail it worked. She sat up and looked at the calender. But as she did soon she started crying. Today was the anniversary of Natsu's death.
"Capricorn-sama. Isn't there anything we could do for her? I can't stand to see her like this anymore." Virgo asked Capricorn.
"The only thing we can do for her now is comfort Lucy-sama in her time of need." Capricorn answered.
"Come now. Let's get you ready Lucy-sama." Capricorn said as he put a hand on her shoulder. After calming down she nodded and followed Virgo into the bathroom.
-5 minutes later-
Lucy came out of the restroom, sporting a black dress with a white jacket on, she was wearing black heels, stockings, and had her keys the jacket pocket rather than around her waist held by a belt. Her hair was done in pigtails but wore a hat along with Natsu's scarf around her neck.
"Princess it's time to go."
"Okay. But first, do you think we can stop by the Guild?"
"As you wish Lucy-sama." Capricorn said as he opened the door and watched Lucy walk out with eyes covered by the hat. The two spirits walked with their friend until they reached the Guild.
