Forgive But NEVER Forget

Blossom-Viewing Festival

"ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, SHOOT," Erza and Laxus scream.

Erza plays rock and Laxus plays paper.

"Erza, you lost, so you can't go on to the next level."

After all the partying, Master told us that we still have to comply with the promise he made to each team.

*FLASHBACK*

"Oh one more thing! I think you must have realized that I haven't placed the other S class mages together. According to the rules of the Grand Magic Games, I have decided to place Laxus, Mirajane, Gajeel, Juvia, and Cana! To spice things a bit I also told them that you guys will have to do everything they say, if they win, for a whole day, and the same bet applies to you!!!! Have fun, bye kiddos," Master said as he ran out the door.

"WAIT WHAT?!?!"

*END OF FLASHBACK*

However, the promise gets complicated because we had to combine our groups. He said that we should all play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' to see who would order whom. We all disagreed and came up with a better solution. We would do a tournament of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' to see who would order everyone else. In simple terms, only one person would win and get to order everyone else what to do for the day. Everyone who was on Team A and Team B is here, including Jellal.

"There are only three people left. Laxus, Mira, and Lucy. Laxus and Lucy, have at it," Master says.

"ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, SHOOT," Laxus and I scream.

I play Scissors and he plays Paper.

Laxus falls in defeat!

"Damn it! I was so close to ordering all of you to be my slaves for the day," Laxus whines.

Phew! I don't think I want to know what Laxus had planned for us to do.

"Now it's Mira and Lucy," Master announces.

"You got this Lucy," Wendy encourages.

"ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, SHOOT," Mira and I scream!

I play Scissors and she plays Rock.

NOOOOOO! This can't be good!!

"Looks like I win," Mira says smiling with demonic aura around her. "It's time for my dream to come true! Ships will sail!!!! I order Gray and Juvia to go on a private date. I order Elfman to go on a date with Evergreen. I order Erza to go on a date with "Mystogan". I order Gajeel to go on a date with Levy. I order Lucy and Natsu to go on a date. For Cana and Wendy, I order you two to take orders and take care of the guild while Laxus and I go on our date. I have everything ready for you guys."

She was so confident that she would win this game that she even got everything ready?!!?!?!

"Wait! No," Gray complains.

"Gray, a promise is a promise! Now do as you're told, or would you want me to change your order into something more "erotic," Mira threatens.

Gray gulps and does as he's told.

Actually, I am not too upset about this. I don't mind this at all.

We all get with our partners and leave the guild.

"This will be fun. Do you think Luce," Natsu says as we walk to our first location?

"Yea! I love the new café that opened up. I didn't get a chance to go there when we came back."

"Oh, yea! The café, that's right." He blushes a bit and I giggle at his response.

After the café date, Natsu and I go to the Magnolia Fair. However, we had to cut that one short because of his motion sickness. Because of that, we walked around the city, talking, making jokes, window shopping, and just enjoying each other's company.

I could never get tired of talking to him. I love him so much.

Soon, our date reached the final stop. We arrived at the Magnolia Garden. The stars sparkled above us and we sat down near the giant Sakura tree. Today was the Blossom-Viewing Festival, so there were couples, friends, families, and just about everyone there. The Blossom-Viewing Festival is one of the most anticipated festivals of the town due to the beauty of the Rainbow Sakuras which glows with rainbow colors during the evening.

I spot Erza and Jellal sitting together holding each other. Awww, they look so good together.

My attention is switched to Gray and Juvia. Dang! Holding hands and hugging! Level up for Gray!!

Soon I see the rest of the couples holding hands or some sort of PDA.

I look at Natsu, who is looking at the Sakura tree. He feels my gaze and looks at me. What are we? Are we even dating? I am so confused. We both like each other, but that's it. I mean I am happy, but am I the only one who thinks we are dating? Does he feel the same way?

"What ya thinking about," Natsu says, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, um. Nothing, sorry."

"Okay. Well, the Sakura is about to change."

We both face the giant tree in front of us. Soon the pink is transformed into sparkling rainbow colors. The glowing tree lets it's Sakura petals dance through the wind.

"It's like something out of a Fairytale," I awe at the magnificent sight before me.

"Yea, it is," Natsu replies. "

I break the comfortable silence and say, "Natsu?"

"Hm?"

"What would you say if someone asked you out?"

"I would say that I am taken. She's this wizard who means the world to me. She's silly in a cute way. We had a rough patch, but I learned my lesson. She's so beautiful with her perfect smile. Her kindness never ceases to amaze me. So don-" I stop him from talking by crashing my lips on him. I pull apart and smile. He closes the gap and kisses me too. How can he be so gentle but have such a passionate effect on me?

He pulls away slightly and says, "I love you, Lucy Heartfillia. Please be mine forever." I crash my lips on his and let the world around me dissolve.
