"I'll have my usual."

The blonde curved her lips into a smile, handing back the red leather menu. The well dressed employee took the menu from her fingertips with a stoic face. She wore a gold name plate on her black vest that read Virgo.

"I'm so happy we can finally all meet at my restaurant." Lucy smiled, standing from her seat to make a toast. Everyone at the table rose their glass, clinking them together as soon as Lucy was finished. It had been a long time since all of them had been in the same room.

It was only four years since majority of the table had graduated from Fairy Tail High. The only two that were still left were Wendy and Romeo.

As actual adults it was always hard to keep in contact, especially since practically everyone at the table had a significant other and a job.

Gray, who was sitting at the far left of the table had been married to Juvia. Beside his wife was Loke, who had only been dating a quiet girl named Aries for about three months now. She worked for Lucy originally, yet took off today so she could be introduced to his friends. Levy had her husband beside her as well, Gajeel Redfox.

"This place looks really nice, I appreciate the invite." [Name] smiled, peering past Natsu to look at his girlfriend. She sourly smiled, a thank you barely seeping from her lips.

[Name] had been the only single one of the bunch, Ezra had a husband, Wendy had a boyfriend, and Natsu had his girlfriend.

The table made small talk, talking about their successful lives. Everyone had practical jobs, expect for [Name] who had been a semi famous painter.

"I can't wait til your next gallery opening, the last one was fun!" They were currently talking about fun event that happened the last time they hung out, which happened to be at the gallery opening.

"Yeah and then Natsu set to fire to the food table." [Name] laughed, placing a hand on his shoulder. He chuckled and tried to justify the action as Lucy stared darkly at her hand. Even when she removed it from his shoulder she glared at girl.

For a reason that [Name] did not know, Lucy hated her.

"Thank you for a nice evening, we should do this again soon!" Natsu's childhood friend hugged Lucy's boyfriend and waved a goodbye before walking out the same door the Fullbuster's left not to long ago.

She was the last person to leave, so the couple left the restaurant. After all the janitor would lock it up at the end of the night. They slid into their black BMW and Natsu drove them home, his hand on her knee.

She wanted to talk about her feelings on Natsu's friend but she felt like she talked about it to often. He was such a great boyfriend to her. Ever since she first transferred to his high school she knew she would grow to love him, she never would've guessed it's the way she loves him now.

Every car talked about how fun tonight was, how they wished more events like this happened. After all it has been forever to them all since hung out. They reminisced on the past, from the good to bad memories.

On the surface, everything appears to be fine. Yet it doesn't take long for the cracks to show.

After all, even bad things take time to broth.
