Yay! Another new story from me. I know I have two more stories to complete but I liked the theme so much that I didn't want the idea to go. Hope you like it. Please do review if you read it.

Chapter- 1 I don't want to see her cry

If you were anywhere near Natsu's and Happy's house that night, you would have heard laughter, very loud and clear.

"I cannot forgot the expression on Lucy's face today morning, hahaha", said Natsu, "She made a small childish pout upon seeing the present we bought for her….Oh man! I can't help but laugh," he continued.

"Yes, indeed. The whole guild was laughing at her. I wonder she'd feel bad and stop talking to us." Said Happy, became sad on the thought of her not talking with them.

"Don't worry Happy, she was herself laughing at her. I don't think she'll be mad at us", said Natsu, while he was closing the door.

Something attracted him. It was the sky. It was so clear and beautiful that he could see the entire constellations across the sky. He couldn't help but think of Lucy. He then shouted out of the window.

"Lucy! Are you watching the stars too? They are lovely right. Good night!" he shouted, giving his goofy grin to the stars as if to pass it on to his friends

"Stop laughing you idiots," said Lucy as if she heard their voices, "The stars… they are so beautiful…They remind me of you, mom." Tears surfaced her eyes, as she retired to write a letter to her mom.

"Dear Mom,

I am fine. You know, mom, today those idiots presented me a gift saying that it was for me. I thought there was something fishy but I opened it 'cause I couldn't refuse them. When I opened it, I saw a joker pop out of it. I know you must have seen it as well. I pouted and the entire guild was laughing at me. Funny, right. I myself laughed at it. Mom, Time flies off so quickly here. It's like I've found a family at Fairytail. But still I miss you, mom"

"Oh man! She makes people crazy. She is a weirdo after all. And her eyes are as beautiful as the stars in the sky. Not to mention her smile….." he was sitting on the window sill and thinking about her when his eyes ran into today's date. It was July 4th and something struck his mind that made him depressed.

"What's the matter, Natsu?" asked Happy, worried about his friend.

"It's nothing, Happy. It's just that today is July 4th," said Natsu as he shook his head.

"So?" asked Happy.

"Three days after … We shall be missing the smile we always long to see," said Natsu, rather dejected, thinking about the incident that happened last year.

"You mean Lucy wouldn't smile… But…But why?" asked Happy, rather astonished. The cat couldn't remember what happened last year.

"'Cause July 7th is the day when Lucy lost her mother. Don't you remember she was crying all that day and didn't turn up in the guild that day. Everyone …was so sad the entire day. I can't seem to forget that day …. Not so easily," said Natsu. Tears surfaced his eyes. The cat started sobbing too. They definitely didn't want their friend to be so sad again. They thought of what could be done. But they couldn't get any idea. Then, the cat slowly fell asleep.

Natsu was still sitting near the windowsill and watching the sky.

"No matter what I shall not let Lucy cry this time, I promise", Thought Natsu, all determined. Then, he went to bed.

"No matter what I shall visit your grave this year, mom, I promise. Love you mom, Good night," she wrote and she went to bed, sleeping for the rest of the night.

Next day- July 5th :

"Hey Mirajane, think you can get something hot and spicy for me to eat," asked Natsu, leaning at the bar counter.

"Sure, if you tell me what's wrong with you," said Mira, looking at the sad Natsu.

"Day after tomorrow is July 7th", said Natsu, rather sad.

This also saddened Mira. She clearly remembered what happened last year. They were all happy, as they have successfully completed a mission assigned to them the previous day. They wanted to party when they saw Lucy so sad. They didn't understand what's the matter. Therefore, they asked her. She then burst into tears telling them that it was the day her mother died. All their happiness disappeared. Lucy didn't want them to be sad just because of her. Therefore, she ran away to her apartment and sat there crying for the rest of the day. No one at the guild was happy either. They were so sad for Lucy that they abandoned all celebrations and sat embracing each other. They were not rejoiced until they saw Lucy smiling the next day. Mira remembered it so well that tears began to flow even at the memory of it. Everyone saw the tears flowing out of Mira's beautiful eyes. This attracted all of them. They were also saddened remembering it. They surely didn't want to miss her smile. They didn't want their friend to cry again. They didn't… so badly. Just then, an idea struck Natsu.

"Guys! I have an idea. I'll take Lucy on a mission and keep her so busy that she wouldn't remember what day it is," said he, his eyes all sparkling.

"That's a good idea, Natsu, but which Job will you register for. Lately there haven't been any jobs…. Jobs that could keep someone so occupied," said Mira.

That made everyone sad.

"I don't care. I'll just tell her we're going on a mission and take her with me," said Natsu with more determination.

Everyone regained hope with Natsu's words. They knew he was the right person for Lucy to go with, she'd never be bored with him around. He was her best nakama after all. They all wished Natsu and prayed that he'd be successful in this mission of his.

Just then they heard the guild doors bang open. The blonde haired celestial mage entered the guild with the most heart-warming smile. Everyone was shocked to see her then. They did hope she didn't hear them.

But did she hear them? Will Natsu keep his promise? Will Lucy be able to keep her promise? Will Natsu be successful? Find out in the next chapter.
