AN: Just a little one shot about Lucy and the letters she writes to her mother. Wrote it really late at night when I couldn't sleep, and decided to upload for lolz.
On a bright spring day, Lucy Heartfillia, much older than she was before, began cleaning out the old, rarely touched drawers of her desk. One by one, she pulled out the drawers, cleaned out any unneeded junk, and moved on. As she pulled one particular drawer out, a small stack of stamped but unsent letters fell out. Lucy smiled in remembrance of how young she once was. For traditions sake, she pulls out a piece of paper and a pen and began to write one last letter.
Dear Mama,
It's been a while since I last wrote you a letter, huh? Have you missed me? I sure hope so, Mama! A lot has happened since I last wrote, though. I've been a proud mage of Fairy Tail for 10 years now. It's funny how time flies isn't it? Seems like just yesterday I was being pulled down the street by a pink haired boy and his blue cat. Those times I still hold dear in my heart. I'm becoming a better mage slowly, but surely, practicing to summon more and more spirits at one time. I'm improving, undeniably, but my dream of becoming a writer is still strong, so at the very least, that's still there. I guess I haven't changed a lot.
Everyone at Fairy Tail is still the same, though. None of them have changed, at least in my eyes. Erza still loves strawberry cake as much as she did before (If not more so), Juvia is still chasing Gray, throwing her love at him as hard as she can, and Natsu is still, well, Natsu-like. He especially hasn't changed a bit. I still find him more often than not in my bed, and I end up sleeping on the floor. Although, lately I have been waking up to find him in my bed with me, and I end up freaking out and falling on the floor. You'd think I'd anticipate it by now, but it still catches me off guard every time. Oh, how I wish you could've met all of them. You'd probably find all of them just as funny as I do! I wish Papa could've met them, too. Or at least properly. All the times he did meet them, it was under unfortunate circumstances, and even then he never spoke with them face to face (or at all, really).
I guess this is kind of an odd letter, isn't it? I'm probably, sort of stalling before I get to the point. Well, here goes. Truth is, I'm probably won't be writing any more letters. It kinda makes me sad thinking about, but this is a necessary action. I'm not a child anymore, and I probably should have let go a long time ago. I read that If I don't 'let you go' in a sense, your spirit will be stuck down on Earth forever. Wow, that sounds really stupid when you say it out loud. Huh. But, stupid as it may be, it gave me a reason to grow up a bit.
I probably could've just not written anymore letters, but I feel as though I owe you once last one. Just to assure you that I am well. I only wish you could do the same for me. But with that said, I think it's about time I close my last letter. Goodbye, Mama.
Love,
Lucy of Fairy Tail
Lucy closed the enveloped, stamping firmly on it's closed end. She looked at a few moments, before holding it close to her chest and then placing carefully in the stack with the others. She felt confident, and as though a weight had been lifted from her chest. It was about time she moved on.
