Chapter 1

It was a cheery day, Lucy quietly sat on a chair, munching quietly on a sandwich she ordered, that's when her partner came up to her, with his usual personality.

Out of the blue, he said nonchalantly, "Oi, Luce you wouldn't mind if Lisanna took your place, right?"

She bit her bottom lip, "Yes, totally." She said softly, trying to mask her sadness. He grinned.

"Thanks! I knew you would understand." He replied cheerfully, skipping away.

"I told you! She wouldn't mind!" He shouted at Gray and Erza, she felt their stares burning holes in her back. she finished her sandwich, walked over to Mirajane.

"Could you suggest any jobs?" She started, "Or, could I help you with any errands?"

Mirajane turned away from her job, handing her a paper with a cheery smile, "This was sent in, but it requested a celestial mage but you'll have to take it solo, the reward is 1,000,000 jewels, that will pay your rent perfectly for while. Wouldn't it?" Mirajane overheard the exchange between her and former partner.

She scanned the contents her eyes lighting up but frowned at the amount of time needed, twelve days in the Celestial world = one year in Earthland. Summon spirit for more details.

It's not like anyone would miss her? Right. She nodded cheerfully, "I'll take it." She replied.

Reaching in her satchel of keys she summoned one of her keys, "Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!"

Once Virgo arrived, she handed her the job request. "What a coincidence this job will be taken by you, punishment?" Lucy frantically shook her head, "Shall we go? Bringing clothes and food will be unnecessary." She acknowledged.

"Bye, Mira!" Lucy said while waving her hand, Mira waved back. Lucy nodded at Virgo and soon she was in a world of brightness, Virgo lead her to the palace and bowed respectfully as she ushered Lucy in.

"We meet again, Lucy Heartfillia. I sent that request in hopes of you finding it."

In strode a confident girl who was quite a beauty. She had long, silky, wavy blonde tresses that were a mix of bright blonde and bleach blonde, they reached her small waist and her dark brown eyes shone with a spark of happiness.

She was in a celestial world outfit. (1). A part of her hair was also neatly braided to the side of her hair.

All eyes were on her, but one pair couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Lucy?" The red-headed Titania stammered looking at the blonde.

"Erza!" Lucy greeted happily.

It was a mere twelve days, but to everyone else it was large one-year gap.

She smiled at them, but everyone's stares burned holes at her. "Where were you?" Erza questioned while raising her eyebrows.

Lucy bit her lip, "I was on a job." She replied softly while pushing a few stray strands out of her eyes.

"A job that took a year?!" Erza continued lecturing the poor girl, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Lucy shrugged, "Probably wouldn't matter that much." She answered, Why is she getting so worked up?

"Probably wouldn't matter that much?!" She bellowed angrily.

Lucy looked down, a hint of guilt evident in her eyes, "It's not like I'm your teammates," She reasoned, a gasp let out through the guild, "And, I was on a job in the Celestial Spirit world."

Erza glared at her, then let out a sigh. "I understand your reasoning, but please. At least notify us, we're still your friends." She says, a hint of anger no longer in her voice.

"That's the new member of the guild, Haru Redglass." She acknowledges pointing to a boy with snow-white hair and pure red eyes.

Lucy turns to the rest of the guild, minding their own business. I might as well introduce myself. She thought silently.

Walking to the mage she pokes him softly, as he turns his head his eyes widen in surprise. Ignoring his reaction, she smiles brightly, "Hello, I'm Lucy Heartfi-" She greets but cut off by a pair of warm arms wrapped around her.

"I missed you!" He enthusiastically shouts cutting her off by surprise.

Her eyes widen, Haru, Haru, Haru! A flood of memories quickly invade her train of thoughts. "Haru." She softly whispers. She returns the hug with a smile. By then, the whole guild has turned their way, their faces showing dumbstruck emotion.

She pulls away from his hug, "I did tell you I would find you one day!" He grins cheerfully at her.

"D-Do you know him?" A shocked Gray questions. Lucy nods happily.

"He was one of my best friends when I was younger!" She explains.

"And her fiancee!" He adds with an amused expression.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

A shout runs through the guild, "Fiancee?!" Everyone shouts in question. Note, Mirajane is passed out, already thinking about flowers, dresses, rings and babies. Lot's and lot's of babies.

Lucy puts a slim finger on he mouth in question, "Fiancee?" She arches her eyebrows at him.

Mirajane wakes up.

"Don't you remember? You said you would bear my babies when we were seven and be my bride!" He pouts playfully.

Mirajane goes back in dead faint.

He lifts a small chain from his neck, half of a heart hanging from it. Lucy's eyes widen, remembering the necklace she always wore, half of a heart evident on it as well. She lifts it up and he links his with hers.

"This was our promise necklace." He softly whispers. Reminiscing about their childhood.

"But we were seven!" She reasons.

"But if you break that promise," He looks down with a sad expression, "You have to stick a needle in your eye."

Lucy's eye twitches in annoyance, "Pick me up at seven tonight then," She says, "we'll start with dating first, okay?" She gingerly kisses his pale cheek then heads out the guild.
