Omg I want to kill myself. It's been almost a week since I've updated Natsu Does Not Approve . I'm. So. Sorry. . . . But. . . after I update the 5th chapter of Natsu Does Not Approve, it's going to be put on hiatus. Why you ask? Natsu Does Not Approve is kind of simple for a plot, and I want to expand my imagination to more of an adventurous/tragic category.

I'll still be putting one-shots here and there, of course. And I'll probably have to keep a schedule too. . . yeah. . .

Well, here's my new series, Live On! (terrible title. . .)

It was sunny outside, as usual in Magnolia, Fiore. Natsu Dragneel was feeling quite pleasant, out on a date with Lucy Heartfilia. They had first gone to an ice cream truck to buy ice cream; Natsu chose chocolate, Lucy chose strawberry.

"It reminds me of your hair," She had said teasingly, and ruffled up Natsu's spiky salmon hair.

After that, they had both spotted a balloon cart, with multi-colored balloons of all kind. Pink, purple, blue, red, green, even brown apparently. . .

Lucy, of course, just had to drag him there, and buy two balloons. One red one, one blue. "Luce, I can't believe you wasted money on a balloon," Natsu had grumbled, preferring to have spent the last of their jewel on food.

Lucy had wagged a finger at him, telling him that if he ate too much, he would become huge and explode into a million pieces.

Natsu replied that Droy ate buckets of fried chicken every day, and he hadn't exploded yet. Lucy had punched Natsu's shoulder, and admonished him even more, saying it was rude to make fun of Droy. Natsu had lowered his head, and tried to act ashamed, but there was a knowing smirk on his face. He knew that Lucy was just trying to refrain from laughing at his joke.

They had finally settled at a peach tree, and were currently sitting underneath its shade. Fallen leaves swept up and swirled around them, creating the most peaceful landscape for the couple.

"Ne, Natsu?" Lucy finally asked, prodding the fire dragon slayer's shoulder.

"Hmm?" Natsu looked at her, balloon held in one hand. "Yeah?"

"Promise me something," She insisted holding up her pinky finger with a shy, but playful smile on her lips.

Natsu gazed at the finger, and tried not to chuckle. Then he moved his gaze up to see Lucy's bright, chocolate brown orbs beseeching him. So the fire mage went along with it, grinning impishly at her. "Alright. What do you want me to promise?"

"Promise me. . . " She hesitated for a second, uncertainty crossing her face. Then just as quickly, she regained her composure and lifted her finger up higher. "Promise me that you'll remember me."

"What kind of promise is that?" Natsu regarded her with a funny expression. Of course he would remember her. He knew her already, didn't he? Lucy Heartfilia, the daughter of Jude Heartfilia and Layla Heartfilia, and a celestial spirit wizard. She was a member of Fairytail and Natsu's girlfriend of course. "I mean, I'm not that stupid."

"Just do it," Lucy snorted, rolling her eyes and shoved him with her opposite hand which held the blue balloon.

"Fine, I promise that I'll remember you," He waved her hand off and hooked his pinky with hers. He raised an eyebrow. "Happy, now?"

"Yeah," She whispered, satisfied. She leaned against the trunk of the tree, her blue balloon moving with the constant breeze. And she didn't say another word for the rest of their date.

Natsu wished he could crumple up every memory with Lucy in it and throw it in the trash. That's how much pain he felt. How was he supposed to know that Lucy would die of heart disease?

Remember me, she had insisted, determination flickering in her chocolate brown eyes.

Ha, yeah right. She was on his mind every day, how was he supposed to forget? He remembered her at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He remembered her once he would walk into the guild and search for her and realize she wasn't there. And he would remember her in his bittersweet dreams, and once he would wake up, he would whisper her name. Then realization would hit him that she was gone. And a lump would form in his throat, all the sadness and anger caught in it.

He thought that losing Lisanna was the worst possible thing that could happen to him. He didn't know how wrong he was. Losing Lucy had been like losing Igneel, it was just too painful.

The people that worked for the Heartfilia family had mourned over Lucy's death. Natsu couldn't blame them. She had been the last Heartfilia descendent, and she was dead. Just like that. The workers had built a coffin and buried it next to her parents. And whenever Natsu visited the coffins, he could feel tears trickle down his cheeks and he would sob for hours, his forehead pressed against the center of Lucy's coffin. He would pound the coffin repeatedly, wishing so desperately that it would bring back Lucy. And after 3 hours, he would sniffle, his eyes bloodshot. He wiped his nose, trying to rid of any evidence that he cried over her. And then he would walk away.

Everyone at the guild had cried over Lucy's death. For weeks, the headquarters had been full of heartbroken sobs and nothing else. Gray had simply sprinted out of the guild, yelling every cuss word he knew at the top of his lungs. Erza had been in the middle of eating her strawberry cake when the news came to her. The next thing Natsu knew, the cake and dish was scattered in bits and pieces on the counter, as Erza fell to her knees and had cried despondently with tears trailing down her cheeks and onto the ground. Wendy had sobbed too, her mournful wails filling the guild rooms with nothing but despair.

Eventually, they would move on of course.

It had been 2 years since then. . . . . . . . . .

So, whatdaya think? . Bad? Good? Kind of weird? Well, please review! ^-^
