(●´ω`●) This is my first fanfic (that I have posted) so, yeah. Let's see how this goes. I was deciding on whether to post this, and then I was like - 'I've got nothing to lose' so here we are.

This is an AU where instead of Natsu, Lucy came from the past and travelled 400 years into the future. The whole thing is pretty weird but I'll try summarize the backstory.

Lucy originally, was born in the future and her mother as well. After her birth however, they were attacked and because of a certain pink haired mage, *cough*, she was sent to the past by accident. Natsu left the baby on the battlefield, like the good person he is, and later, was found by Anna.

Lucy believe that Anna was her mother, until she was left once again in a small house alone at ten years old. She wandered outside and met the bloody Dragon King Festival, where she thought Anna had died.

Four years later, and she met the same person that brought her to the past. They became close friends afterwards, and then Natsu was asked to come to the future, but he refused and instead, asked *cough* kidnapped *cough* Lucy and she was taken to the future to be raised by her mother.

She lost her memories like the dragon slayers and dragons.

Oh and Igneel?

... I have no clue. ╘[◉﹃◉]╕

Lucy sat at the guild, sipping a milkshake from a straw, lost in her thoughts. She hadn't joined very long ago, and today is the seven year anniversary of her mother's death. Honestly, her life passed slowly and roughly afterwards, thanks to her father's aggressive ways.

She couldn't really remember anything before her mum's death. One of her memories was of her doll, Michelle, and playing with her and her mother in the mornings, while her father would watch from afar.

He didn't really join in, but Lucy still pressured him to play with them. She smiled, and Mira came back from the storage underneath when she did.

"Why are we smiling today?" The silver haired girl asked, smiling back cheerfully at her friend.

"Oh, no particular reason. Thanks for the drink, Mira." She got up, waving at the barmaid, who left to clean her glass after saying goodbye. Lucy sighed, looking around.

'Maybe I can go on a job. I'll ask Na-' A sharp pain shot through her head like a knife, and she held it in her palms.

"Hey Lucy, you okay?" Gray walked up to her, slightly concerned. Lucy nodded, taking her hands away from her head, and putting one of them on her pouch of keys.

"Y-Yeah, I just got dizzy for a few seconds there. Don't worry, I'm fine." She lied. The pain remained while she talked. Gray looked at her questionably before nodding. "Do you want to go on a mission with me?" Lucy asked.

"You sure you want to go now? That pain might be a sign of something bad you know. I think you should rest." Lucy sighed, she knew that he could be right.

"I guess." She walked away, her head tilted slightly down and she left the guild.

"Gray." Erza approached the now half naked man, who cowered under her.

Lucy walked along the edge of the pavement as she thoughtfully looked down at the river. She knew something was off, she definitely forgot something.

"Lucy, when you have a certain feeling, I want you to open this envelope."

The girl ran towards her apartment, determined to get there as quickly as she could. She knew that it was time she found out what was inside.

After unlocking her door and throwing all of her stuff on the floor, she searched the living room; looking for the place she left the envelope. Lucy completely forgot about it until now.

"Found you!" She opened a pink box, tied with a red ribbon, and inside was the pale yellow envelope she was looking for.

On the front of the object, were the initials E.N.D, L.H, and A.H. She guessed the second pair of initials was her name or her mother's. Lucy didn't have a clue who the other ones were. She decided to open the envelope instead of continuing to dwell on it.

Inside, was a letter. She read quietly to herself.

'Dear Lucy,

This is Layla, your mother. I assume that you remembered about this when you had a sudden headache? That is what Igneel said would happen…

Anyways, you may be wondering why you can only remember very few parts of your childhood. You probably thought it was because you have a bad memory, but no, it very well isn't because of that.

I could have written a few paragraphs about the cause, but from raising you, I learnt that it is easier to show you instead of making you read for twenty minutes.

Try to remember a name. This name is of someone who you loved. Really, no one hated them if they had known them close enough. You were one of the only people to understand him.

You probably received that pain from almost remembering his name.'

The end was ripped off and Lucy looked at the back. Her eyes widened.

'I love you.'

It was written in messy handwriting and with no additional information. Inside, her heart seemed to yearn for the writer. She stumbled back suddenly, bumping onto her bed.

"Luce, what do you think of the battlefield? Isn't it pretty?" A blurry face asked her, and she looked at the field, which was covered in poppies and butterflies flew around the flowers. Lucy smiled.

"It is. It's hard to believe that a war was here."

"Luce… When you go, do you promise to remember me?" They asked, and through the blurriness, Lucy could now see black eyes and… Pink? Hair.

"Yeah, Na…" She froze.

Na…

Natsu.

Lucy dropped what she was holding on the floor. Tears trailed down her cheeks from the pain of the returning memories and from the memories themselves.

She forgot. She broke that promise. 400 years ago exactly, Lucy promised to Natsu that she would never forget him after she went 400 years into the future.

"I'm sorry…" She cried, lowering down onto the floor and hugging her legs to her chest. "I… I forgot. I forgot right after, I couldn't even remember you! Damn it…" Lucy stayed in her position, sobbing until she couldn't anymore and there were no more tears left.

Shakily, she grabbed the letter again, continuing to read it.

'Lucy, if you forgot him, don't feel bad. After the dragons came to the future, he met them and he saw you. He didn't talk to you, since he knew that you forgot. All the dragon slayers forgot as well and I'm guessing you forgot about them too.

Lucy, I don't want you to cry and blame yourself. He isn't dead after all.'

The girl's eyes lit up with a flame of hope. Maybe she could find him.

'He is with a man called Zeref.' Lucy recalled that name from when they battled Lullaby. Well she was a spectator, but she helped with everything before! He was someone who killed many people and created demons… Like Natsu. No, Natsu wasn't anything like Lullaby.

'You won't find him in his human form or etherious form; you will see a book with his initials E.N.D written on the cover. It is most likely in the possession of Zeref or one of his demons called Mard Geer.

Lucy, it is your choice on what you want to do with your memories back, if you have them back actually. You might go looking for him and if you do meet him again, which I hope you do, may you two live happily.

[You have my permission to marry him ;)]

Love, Mum.'

Lucy blushed at her mother's last message, but now she knew what she had to do.

She had to marry- FIND Natsu!

Lucy entered the guild like any other day, dressed in her usual clothes but in her pouch, she now carried the letter.

Everyone greeted her with a smile and she smiled back. The girl sat at a table with Erza, Gray and Happy, who were having a conversation about… fish.

"No way Gray! Salmon is waaaay better than mackerel!" Happy shouted, having an argument with the ice mage. Gray dramatically slammed his hands on the table.

"What kind of crap are you saying?! Salmon is disgusting! Mackerel at least tastes good!"

Lucy and Erza laughed at their silly verbal fight.

"It's not pink, it's salmon!"

A voice shouted in her head. Lucy's eyes softened. Natsu used to argue that his hair was salmon.

"Guys." Everyone at the table turned their attention to Lucy. "If you know the person you love but can't find them, what would you do?" She asked, smiling.

"Well, first, I would find them then I would give them LOTS of fish!" Came Happy's answer first. The group shared a laugh at the cat's reply.

"Look for them, then bring them here." Erza gave her answer and Gray nodded as he would do the same.

Lucy nodded.

"Okay, thanks." Happy flew to her, circling around her head.

"Lushi looooooves someone!" The cat snickered and was later chased by a blonde in denial.

"Shut up!" She chased him around the guild, knocking into a table where a book fell, but Lucy didn't bother picking it back up.

I might make a sequel to this if anyone wants one. ┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘
