No fame or fortune, nor riches untold

Lucy was done with it all as she climbed in the backseat of her father's limousine. Bright specks of light still appearing before her eyes from the paparazzi's camera flashes. Which was something she had dealt with all her life, but enough was enough.

Living the life of someone famous wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Constantly watching what you said or did because of the image. Oh the horror of damaging one's image, it was laughable to the point of hypocrisy. But since anything she does what affect not only herself but her father and mother, Lucy would mind herself as a proper lady for the public eye. Even if it made her grind her teeth, feel fake and sick to her stomach. When all she wanted was to leave the fame, fortune, and riches behind.

Don't give me a mansion on top of the hill.

Staring out her bedroom window Lucy frowned furloughing her brows together. You were by no means a less than spectacular even as the rain came down in a virtual tour. Since her home or rather a mansion sat atop a hill overlooking the valleys and plains that were her father's lands.

But it meant nothing to her since it felt like a prison. A place that was meant to keep her shut away from the world I. Only the servants to talk to as they went about their job while watching over her. And Lucy hated feeling trapped in a cage with no real friends to talk to or associated with either, at least none that liked her for herself.

I woke up this morning feeling kind of down.

Brown eyes stared at the soft pink ceiling appearing glazed as the face that they were set in looked sad. It was her birthday, yet Lucy already knew not to expect anything since her father had only invited his business associates with kids her age, most of them being male to the party he was throwing for her. Already knowing why he was doing it since she was almost of legal marrying age. He was pushing for her to find a suitable match.

Letting out a small sigh Lucy rolled herself out of bed shoulders heavy was feeling depressed as she made her way to the bathroom to start readying herself for the uneventful and sore day before her. Once she truly wanted no part of even if her only friend Levy was going to be there too.

A soft knock came from her door as she sat there while the made Mrs. Spetto finish putting up her hair. It looked fashionable in the old-fashioned bun with her bangs left down and curl to frame her heart-shaped face. Which only had the bare minimum of makeup on so that it accentuated it making her eyes pop and her mouth full and pouty.

Glancing at the door in the mirror Lucy saw her mother enter. A wistful look on her face as she glanced back at Lucy holding her gaze while making her way towards the vanity. The whole time Lucy watched silently not bothering to hide her thoughts.

With a small cough, Mrs. Spetto excused herself leaving Lucy alone with her mother, Layla Heartfilia. The silent conversation they had with just her eyes had Lucy relaxing as a small smile appeared on her face. If there was one thing she knew she could always count on it was her mother brightening her mood and day overall. The return look on her mother's face was an echo of her own as Lucy stood up turning meeting her mother halfway so that they could start the day's festivity.

I called on my best friend, she could not be found.

He frowned marring her brow as she looked at her cell phone. As the voicemail told her to leave a message. It wasn't very often that Levy didn't answer her phone. A cause Lucy to fill a bit down and out since she had an unimportant piece of news to tell her best friend, who'd be able to talk it out with her.

Letting out a soft sigh Lucy ended the call without leaving a message tossed the phone on her bed before pacing the length of her room. It had been three months since her birthday everything is gone fine, no will or interest was taken in her from the guest who'd been invited. At least, none that she could tell at the time.

Not even an hour earlier her father had called her to his personal office (a very rare occurrence) to talk with her. He had given no more information other than it was important. So, of course, she was nervous and it was in trying to figure out what was so important. When she arrived and knocked Lucy was already worrying her bottom lip between her teeth. But when the door was abruptly opened shock flooded her system. Because there before her mother and father sat for guest who all had their eyes on her.

From there, things had gone by in a blur, as a someone had hit the fast-forward button on the DVD player. Lucy quickly learned that people were business associates Ul in Silver with their two sons Gray and Lyon. And that Lyon himself had stepped forward with a marriage proposal.

Completely caught off guard at this Lucy felt numb and flustered at the same time, as she stared at the silver-haired young man. Who had a smile that could be called smug as is midnight blue orbs seemed to suck her in? Causing heat to flood her cheeks as she whispered inarticulately 'oh'.

From there she was taken along the swift-flowing rapids that life just seemed to throw at her. Papers have signed an agreement to the marriage arrangement. Leaving Lucy now officially engaged to a man who was a complete stranger.

My life he can hold.

Giving a side glance at the man beside her, Lucy let a smile curved her lips upward as she saw him take notice of her. The raised eyebrow in question only making her press her lips together to keep from giggling loudly. It would be seemly to burst out into a fit of giggles while you're being toasted at your wedding reception for no apparent reason. So with a small shake of her head and a wink, Lucy turned her attention back to his brother and best man as he finished his speech.

Had been three years since the arrangement had happened, but she could honestly say that she was happy with that all. He was her perfect prince charming. He came out of nowhere, swept her off her feet, won her heart and now she was giving him her life to hold. There would be no regrets just more happy love filled experiences in the future. Because together she somehow knew they'd survive anything thrown at them for they went together like silver and gold.

THE END!

Alright, this is my author's note for this story. I am now open for a request for Lucy pairings as long as they stay in the fairytale world. No crossovers, because this is pure FT crackship right here. If you wish for me to do a story please PM me who you want Lucy or any Fairy Tail character paired with and a brief snippet for what you want the story to be about. I.E. something like Lucy and Natsu being childhood friends, being torn apart, then finding each other later in life and either rekindling a friendship or having a romantic interlude. I do gender-bending, alternate universes, and am not afraid to attempt to do dark as long as it isn't read ridiculous. Remember I do not do smut it is not it is not my thing, I am not comfortable writing it so don't ask me to get traffic with sexual scenes.

Thank you for taking the time to read my author's note and consider that I am going to try to do a request thing. Also understand that life takes up most of my time so that putting a story out might take a while, but I will PM you back if I am going to do the story and let you know when I have it typed up and when I'm going to post it out of respect for doing the request.
