Tears streamed down his tanned cheeks like a waterfall. He was the last one there.

He stared at the roses in his hand and set them gently on the ground, in front of the granite that marked the ground

Pink

Why couldn't he had been strong enough to protect her?

Let's go on a mission!

Pervert!

He could hear he giggles

He could still feel her warmth

Still see that radiant smile that will never be shown again.

The Fairy Tail flag was proudly waving on either sides of the engraved rock.

I miss you

~Next Year~

He stood at the rock once more. Holding a banquet of flowers, a small Birthday card in it. Setting them down, he sat and started talking about the newest mission, what's going on in the guild, the new relationships, fights and brawls, and just plain random things. It was the only way to feel close to her again.

He could almost hear her laugh as he told his stories.

"Happy Birthday."

~Years later~

The, now S-class, mage is holding his three year old daughter.

"Daddy who's that?"

"Her name is Lucy. And she was my best friend."

"Where did she go? Can I meet her?!"

"No, sorry sweetie. She's somewhere safe and sound. But someday you will."

"When?!"

"When you are older. Now time for bed."

"Aw, man!"

~Somehwere else~

You idiot! But you're my idiot. I'm glad that you were able to move on.

I love you...

I love you too, Lucy...

\O/\O/\O/\O/\O/\O/

Now that its over, I just want to hold her

I'd give up all the world to see that little piece of heaven looking back at me

Now that's its over, I just want to hold her

I've gotta live with the choices I made

And I can't live with myself today
