In the small town of Magnolia, there stood a majestic cherry blossom park which gave life to a small bud, this small bud was a wishing bud, it only grows in every 50 years when the flowers were at bloom and the moon was at peak. All of those who wished with the bud were granted what the had yearned for, yet with their wishes, good or bad, it will always come with a price, a price we cannot afford to pay, Time.

The Heartfilia clan were the guardians of the bud, they have guarded it with their lives, for they do not want anyone to experience what their ancestors did, most specifically the previous Head of Heartfilia, Anna Heartfilia . Anna was head of clan 100 years ago, her beloved daughter was born with dementia and was shunned by her husband, leaving them both, Anna in sorrow defiled the sacred grounds and stole a wishing bud.

She knew what the price was yet she wanted her daughter to feel her father's love even for a moment, to remember, to live a long life, a loved life. After Anna had wished, every precious memories were cherished to the fullest, for those who wish on a wishing bud will be given 3 months to live. Anna had no regrets, for sure, since the smiles of her beloved daughter and husband were enough to make her happy. She died smiling.

A half of a millennium has passed, the Heartfilia clan were no more, gone were the simplicity of the once known town of Magnolia, the cherry blossoms were no more, technology polluted the minds of the citizens, cars polluted the air, causing the soil to be contaminated with chemicals. Amidst of all of these things, a small girl heed no attention to it, for she had no interest in technology.

In the late summer of May 23, 2007, the promise of friendship was made

"I promise that we'll meet again someday, even if fate might not allow us, even if you might not know me anymore" the boy said

"I promise to-" the girl was cut off by a the speakers "Mister Jellal Fernandes of flight 472, please proceed to gate 4, I repeat, Mister Jellal Fernandes of flight 472, please proceed to gate 4, last call"

The boy hugged the girl for the last time and ran to his gate in haste, leaving the girl crying..

'- to grant your wish before I die' the girl thought

~~~~~~10 years later~~~~~~

"Lucy! *swat* stop sleeping in class" The teacher glared

One Lucy Heartfilia yawned, she looked around and sighed 'It's not like I'm the only one sleeping' Lucy listened to the boring lecture of the teacher when the school bell rung.

"Unbelievable! children these days...!" the teacher stormed off, 'Like I could care less' Lucy slung her shoulder bag on her shoulder, and proceeded to her next class.

"Heard you got lectured by Aquarious-Sensei, again *chuckle* gihihihi... you are impossible, bunny girl" Gajeel Redfox, is one of Lucy's closest friend, a masochist,

"I don't have the time to talk to you and your masochism ways, metal-face" Lucy sneered and left him, she wasn't in the mood for his masochism right now.

Gajeel whistled "Feisty... I love it! wait- Hey! wait for me!"

"Gajeel! you're late! set the drums now!" Their music teacher barked, Gajeel gloomily set the drums while Lucy smirked in merit, then cracked open a nice good book.

Lucy was halfway through her book when she heard a rustling of clothes. Thinking it was nothing but her classmate, she jumped out of her skin when a face appeared behind her book.

"Holy Sh*t!"

The idiot laughed at Lucy's expression. "Watch your tongue, Lucy-Chan"

Sting Euclife is one of the esteemed enemy of Lucy, the guy gets on her nerves so bad that one time, she kicked him in the shin, she got detention after that, though Luna was sure that he got punched by Gajeel, both Luncy and Gajeel spent the detention plotting something sinister.

Lucy fixed him with a glare so strong it would make a grown man pee his pants in fear before passing out cold. "Do what you came here for then leave, Stingy Bee. I don't have time for you today."

Apparently, Euclife is nowhere near grown because he just grinned before flopping down on the chair beside Lucy. "What'cha doin'?"

Lucy pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation. "Stingy Bee, do you own a dictionary? Because 'Leave' doesn't actually mean 'Make yourself comfortable'." She sneered at him

"Really? We must own different dictionaries then because in my book it means just that."

"What's the title of yours? I'm sure I must have seen it in the children's aisle." She tried really hard not to roll her eyes at him when the stupid jerk laughed.

"Lucy Heartfilia!" the teacher called, Lucy gave a last glare to Euclife before leaving with her things, she placed her bag on the front row.

Lucy faced the class, their teacher, Bisca-sensei, fake coughed, getting the class' attention.

"Heartfilia-san here, was given the task to write a poem, she will present it today" Bisca-sensei indicated Lucy to proceed.

"This poem is not quite polished yet so shut your judging mouths before I shut it for you, got it" Lucy glared.

"The small light of dawn spills over our tired, sleeping love.

When it flowed, the two of us were drawn close,
gently nodding our heads.
The wind struck the window,
waking you as I neared your cheek.

Are you happy?
In the warmth of last night, I softly whispered as I held you tight.

The first day I met you,
I was endlessly searching the sky beyond the buildings.
The flower whose name you taught me,
that seemed hidden by the city was the small forget-me-not.

Sometimes you have sad dreams about the end of our love.
You rest on my chest and we share the meaning of life.
There's no answer for where love goes.
People are always lonely.
But are you happy?
Even in this meager living, with time, our hesitation grew into the strong love we see now.
Sometimes I unreasonably try to shape you like me,
but the name of the love we grow together
is the small forget-me-not hidden by the city.

You stand aimlessly on a street corner
going nowhere even as I follow you.
Are you happy?
In this crazy town, even our love could fade under their stampede.

The first day I met you, I was endlessly searching the sky beyond the buildings.
The flower whose name you taught me, that seemed hidden by the city was the small forget-me-not."

Unknowingly, Gajeel frowned deeply, her classmates were awestruck, Bisca-sensei was grinning like an idiot.

Lucy sighed "What's gotten into you today, bunny girl? Is something wrong?" Gajeel asked as she sat down beside him.

Lucy raised a brow "I just copied it from my old notebooks" Lucy said

"*speaker* Umm, Good afternoon everyone, your President speaking! Tomorrow is a important day for us! Our school will be joining the exchange student program, thus, tomorrow, we will be receiving 2 students from Foire Elite! Isn't that great! the students assigned to them are... oh!
