Lucy's P.O.V

I wore a pink gown and fixed my hair.I applied my make-up and placed my jewelry.

I breathed deeply as I leaned my head on the wall.Finally,the fight is over.I feel so exhausted.

I really hoped that this day would come.That everything would be alright again.Now it finally is!

*knock knock*I heard a knock on the door.I opened it and saw Natsu...

"Hi Natsu...what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Uhmm..C-Can I talk to you?if you aren't busy" Natsu said.

"Oh sure" I said and closed the door.He held my had and took me outside to a bench by the the cherry blossoms.

"So what is it you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Its about.. What we did to you back then.We really do apologize and till now we feel guilty of it.Lisanna even broke up with me saying that I should love you instead because she knew I did have feelings for you." He said.

"She did that?!" i said in shock.

"Yes.But I don't want to butt in with you and Sting cuz I know that you two are in love now.I never got to tell you how I felt because I was afraid of rejection...I knew that I was just your best friend back then.I thank you for that.Even if I was a bastard you still accepted me.Also,I-I mean we thank you for everything you've done for Fairy Tail and that we're all happy that you're happy in Sabertooth.Erza said that if they treat you badly their just tell us and we'll pay back" he smiled.

My eyes started to water at the words he said."We're really gonna miss ya Luce.But remember that you can always visit or even come back.If you want.Its your decision"he said.I started to cry."Oi...Don't cry!You've shed too much tears already!"he said and rubbed my back."Its okay.I'm really happy with everything you said.I'm gonna miss Fairy Tail too and I'll find time to visit.I will always remember all of you and treat you all as Family.I don't care of what you did back then.I love you all.Natsu, I still accept you as my bestfrie d and I thank you for understanding that I now have Sting.Yes I loved you back then too..I just didn't tell you because of rejection and the pain I felt of seeing you and Lisanna. I really love you Natsu.Till now,but now I only see you as my Bestfriend.I want you to be happy and you should be with Lisanna"I said.

"I see...I understand what you feel.But I'm not getting back with Lisanna cuz I don't have any feelings for her...Plus I just want to continue with my adventures now." He said.

"Natsu..." I said.

"Yeah?" He said.

"T-Thank you...too...for everything you've done for me...For helping me through a lot and making me experience great things...for learning to show my comrades that they are a big part of my life.Thanks a lot"I said.

" and thank you for showing us how to accept and forgive...especially to care for your comrades"Natsu said"Can we be...best friends again?".

"I think we already are" I smiled.He hugged me,I hugged him back.

"Now stop crying and let's go to the ball!" He smiled."Let's go!"we did a fist bump.

It feels great to have him back again.I'm glad that we're best friends again.

"Lu-chan!Where have you been?" Levy asked."Sorry we're Late.Natsu and I had to talk first"I smiled.

"Oh I see you and Flame brain are okay again" Gray said."Great actually Gray.How about you and Juvia?"I asked.

"She's ignoring me...*sigh*why?" Gray said."Cuz You ignored her in the first place!Go get your girl!"I said.He grinned and went off"Great to see ta again Luce!"Erza smiled.She looked so gorgeous in her black gown."thanks Erza"I smiled.

"Also,I have a surprise for you" I whisper."What is it?"Erza asks."There's a huge Strawberry Cake by that corner.We ordered it for you since it is the last one in the store"I said.

"Reallyyyyyyyyyyyy......." Her eyes turned to hearts."Yup!You'll see another surprise along with it"I grinned and she happily skipped away."Was it Jellal?"Onii-san asks."Yup"I grinned.I was with Jellal 3 hours ago and we ordered it for Erza and he said he'd confess to her now.For sure Erza will be happy.

"Where's the king?" The maids asked."I dunno"the others said."oh don't tell me Natsu did it again"Mira giggled.I looked around and didn't see Natsu.

"Oh no..." I muttered and sweat dropped.

"YOOOO!!!" We looked up and saw..."STING?!!?!NATSU?!?!"I yelled.

"Wooh!This time I'm king!" Sting grinned."I'm Prince for once.But I'm still king alright!"Natsu said.

"*sigh*Those two idiots" I sighed."The two most important men in your life"Yuki said."ahem!Excuse me!I'm still here ya know?!"Rogue said."Course I won't forget ya bug bro"I laughed."Oh!Sorryyyyyyy"Yuki said."Tch?"Onii-san crossed his arms."Sorryyy"Yukino hugged him.I laughed at them.

"Oi!Don't take that!Its mine!" Sting said as the maid was taking the crown."That's mine ya idiot!"Natsu hissed at a gaurd.

I saw Erza and Jellal come,Erza was blushing so hard, they approached me."Lucy...how could you?I couldn't breathe there"Erza said."haha!Don't blame me!It was Jellal's idea to surprise you"I laughed."She cried in there"Jellal smirked."Did not!'Erza argued."Oh really?Then what's with the tear again from your eye?"Jellal said pointing at Erza's eye."Allergies"Erza scoffed."well...I'll leave you two at it.Hope you liked the surprise Erza"I gave her a thumbs up she grinned at me.

*sigh*What a great night."Lu-chan...Gajeel just....kissed me"Levy whispered."HUWAAAATTTTT?!?!NO WONDER YOU'RE RED!"I laughed and tickled her."Ssshh!Lu-chan!"she blushed harder.

"Hello my Lady" Sting smiled."I"all give you privacy"Levy smiled and left.

"Haha well hello your Highness" I laughed."Good evening my beautiful Queen"he smiled.

"you look proper for once"I said." Seriously?"he said and pouted."just kiddin You look handsome"I said."thanks You look gorgeous.Really fit to be my Queen"he smiled."Am I not your Queen?"I grinned."You already are.Now,I'm glad you and Fairy are doing great now.You can go back too you know.."he said."I think I won't for now...I'm happy in Sabertooth.But I will surely visit them"I smiled.

"Are you happy?Now?I mean...with me" he said.I wrapped my arms around him."I am.I always was.Thank you for that..."I said.He hugged me."I love you...".

"I love you too" I said.

I'm glad to have Sting now,and I will do my best to love him and care for him wholeheartedly.
