I wish I had more time, but it seems I've ran out. So, as my soul starts to float into the heavens I just want you to know one thing:

"I… Love you. Natsu…"

"LUCY!"

"Two weeks, fourteen hours, seven minutes and going on fifty-three seconds ago Lucy Hearfillia, a proud member of Fairy Tail, lost her life in battle." Erza took a deep shaky breath as she continued with her speech. Her eyes scanned the crowd. Every single face before her was broken and stained with tears.

Juvia sobbed uncontrollably on Gray who was crying himself. His body shaking as he tried his hardest to control his urge of shedding his clothes. Today, of all days, deserved his at most respect. Beside them was Gajeel, Levy, and Lily. The exceed sat upon Levy's lap. He tried not to cry and comfort his dear friend. Gajeel only looked down, his left hand clutching the one of the shaking girl's. Makarov was seated behind them, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman were to hi right. All with tears brimming their eyes. Wendy clutched to Carla as she leaned onto Romeo's shoulder. Carla, herself couldn't contain her tears.

Everyone was there, crying on Lucy's behalf. Even members from Sabertooth and Lamia Scale had came to show their grief for the ever loving celestial mage. Erza looked to the very back, behind the crowd of people and saw the familiar shade of pink and blue.

She knew better than to think Natsu and Happy would be close to Lucy's casket. They barely had the heart to even look in the direction of the funeral.

"She wasn't just a member. She was family. Always so bright and positive, she knew exactly what to say to cheer us up. If I had the chance to say anything to her this moment, I would tell her 'Thank you'." I would thank her for everything that she has done for the guild and everything she had done for all of us individually. I don't know if she knew how much I loved her, but every day I will dedicate my life to her to prove that she might be gone from Earthland, but she will never be gone from my heart." Erza's tears fell visibly now as she then turned to the read cherry oak casket.

As she got closer to the casket, tears created a trail behind her. She then leaned over and pressed her lips to the wood.

"Thank you, Lucy. Thank you for coming into my life." Erza then stood and walked away. In her place, Yukino came to stand. She grabbed the microphone lacrima and spoke shakily into it.

"I didn't know Lucy as long as most of you, but from the time I did know her, she had become something of great importance to me. I looked up to her as a celestial wizard. Every time she called one of her spirits out, I could feel the love and devotion. I wanted to have bonds like that. "Yukino tried to soothe her tears. She took a deep breath and blew out slowly. Her eyes focused on Natsu's figure far away.

"Three day after she died, I was visited by Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza. They had come all the way to Sabertooth for two reasons. One: to invite me to say something at her memorial. This honored me so greatly, I do not believe I said anything. I could only nod my head. Secondly: To bestow her keys to me. At first, I didn't want to accept them. It felt so wrong." Yukino's voice broke slightly. "She loved them so much! Even now I do not feel right carrying them. However, I promise to take care of them and love them deeply just as she did. I will not let her down. Thank you for this honor." It was then then she broke down, falling to her knees besides Lucy's casket. Sting and Rogue rushed to her aid. Laxus silently helped her down.

Master Makarov then stepped forward. He placed a hand on her casket before he looked to the crowd.

"I believe if Lucy were alive and looking out to this crowd, she would be deeply grateful. To see all thses here, helping us mourn her passing is something I cannot put to words. But this shows me, just how loved she was, not that it surprises me." He looked to the casket and spoke as if to only her.

"I know I wasn't your real father, but to me, you were my real child. When you came to this guild I didn't expect just how big of an impact you would make to our hearts. You were beautiful and had the heart of gold and the spirit of a true Fairy Tail member. Losing a child is the most painful agony that I had ever felt. I feel as though you took a piece of me with you. But I know wherever you are, you are gracing the ones around you with your kindness just as you graced us. We will never forget you. You are, and forever will be a part of Fairy Tail." Makarov then turned back to everyone and raised his hand for the Fairy Tail symbol.

Through the crowd everyone, including the members of other guilds, followed suite.

"Even if I can't see you… No matter how far you may be… I will always be watching you." Makarov spoke softly into the heavens.

"Lucy!" Levy shrilled as she threw herself onto the casket. Droy and Jet watched painfully as their teammate sobbed violently. Gajeel was behind her patting her back. Lily only stood silently behind them.

"Levy, she wouldn't want you to be this way." Erza stated gently as she bent down next to Levy. The bluenette only nodded, tears still coming down her face. She dove into Erza's arms.

"I miss her so much! I just can't believe it. "Levy spoke with broken words. Erza's only response was tightening her arms around the smaller girl.

"Maybe if I was stronger I could have saved her!" Wendy sobbed. "Why! Why couldn't I heal her!"

"Silence, Child. This is not your fault. This is no one's fault. She was just needed to be an angel now. A part of the stars just like she always wanted." Carla spoke to Wendy. Even though it was meant to cheer Wendy up, Carla couldn't stop her own tears.

"Juvia wants her love rival back!" Juvia spoke silently to the casket. Her hand grazed the smooth wood. "Juvia would do anything to bring her back. Love rival made everyone so happy. She made Gray happy. She made Juvia happy!" This time she wailed out her grief. Gray only kneeled, not able to make words with his heart broken and his throat dry. So he just listened to Juvia's cries.

"You broke your promise, Lucy." Lisanna whispered as she gazed to the back where Natsu and Happy once stood. "You promised to stay by his side. Now, I don't know what will become of him. He loved yo so dearly." She smiled sadly to the sky. "You know what? I know this isn't good bye. I know we will see you again. So make it fast, Lucy. Fairy Tail isn't known for it's patience."

Natsu couldn't take it anymore. All their sad speeches. All their sad faces. All their sad everything. They acted as if Lucy was… No! He wouldn't think it. Because Lucy was still here. Well, not here here, but here. Somewhere, and Natsu would find her and bring her home, When he did, she would never leave again.

Because Lucy was made to be by his side. Somehow. Someway. She would be there again.

"N-Natsu." Natsu looked over to his best friend. His blue face was stained with tears. His eyes were dull and tired. Natsu knew Happy didn't believe him. Happy thought she was…

But she wasn't! He'd show him.

"You haven't cried since that day. Are you sure you're alright?" Happy asked. His voice was shaky and weak.

Natsu let out a bitter laugh.

"I haven't cried cuz there's nothing to cry over." Happy shook his head at Natsu's delusion.

"Natsu… She's dea-"

"Don't you dare say that!" Natsu yelled. His teeth were clenched. His fists were balled to his sides. Scales started to appear on his face. His body caught on fire.

To say Happy was completely terrified was an understatement.

"She's not… She can't be! There's just no freaking way! She's Lucy for crying out loud. You'll see. By next week she'll be back and we'll go on a mission just like always. She'll be there combing my hair with her fingers on the train to calm my motion sickness. She'll call out Horologium because she doesn't feel like walking and complain the entire time. She'll be getting in trouble so I can come in and save her. She'll be right by me. Just. Like. Always."

Happy watched in horror as his dear friend spewed out nonsense, not even realizing that he had fallen to his knees and started to cry.

"She has to, because I don't know what I'd do if she didn't… I can't even think about what life would be like without her in the guild. Because that would be like my heart ripping from my chest. Like winter blowing blizzards every damned day. "It was then that Natsu felt Happy cling to his neck, that Natsu's mind finally clicked that that's exactly how it felt like.

"Natsu…" Happy whispered.

"No!" Natsu screamed. "No! She can't! No!" His cries echoed through the forest. Happy's clung to him tighter. His wings appeared and wrapped themselves around the Dragon Slayer.

"I… Love you. Natsu."

"Lucy!" Natsu yelled to the heavens. "Please don't leave me." And that's when he cried harder than he has in his entire life.

"Wake up, Old Friend." The voice was all around her. She could feel it in her soul. It was soothing and oh-so lovely.

Her eyes opened almost painfully. Everything around her was bright and blurry. It took a while for her eyes to adjust to her surroundings. When they did, she was gazing right up to a violet sky. Stars danced beautifully around her.

"Thank Mavis." She heard a voice breathe in relief. She looked to her right and saw that a familiar face was cradling her in their arms. His glasses shined over as the light passed by them. His smile was genuine and full of adoration. "Good Morning, Sleeping Beauty,"

She laughed, completely comfortable and content in his arms.

"Always the charmer aren't we, Loke." She smiled up at him. Her chocolate eyes shined with amusement and love. He gave her another grin, this one full of humor.

"How can I not charm you, when you charm me with your presence alone, Princess."

"Get out of the way, Loke! I have a bone to pick with that bratty child!"

"Calm down, Babe. She just woke up." This voice was smooth as silk as it tried to calm the mermaid.

"I don't care! I'll rip into her soul for scaring us like that!"

"Aquarius? Scorpio?" She was now confused, and slightly frightened. She sat up quickly and saw that it wasn't just them two, but all of the celestial spirits. What shocked her the most was two of them never belonged to her.

"Libra… Picses. What's going on?" She tried to stand, but pain ripped into her body and she fell into Loke's arms once more.

"Calm down, Princess. Your soul is still healing." Virgo's voice joined in. She was kneeling, now very close to her.

"Yes, It is quite necessary for you to remain of your feet for the time being. You took a major blow to your heart. Which, by the way, we will be having a very deep heart to heart about." Capricorn's voice spoke sternly.

"Screw the heart to heart. I'll kill her again for her stupidity." Aquarious raged. All the time Scorpio held onto her, to protect his old Mage.

"Piri pirir. Aquarius is so mean!" Gimi stated

"Piri piri. So mean indeed." Mini agreed.

"Why you little brats!" Aquarius yelled.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on."

"Calm down, Baby. You'll give yourself wrinkles and turn you're beautiful hair grey." Cancer stated, snipping his scissors.

She only pouted in response, her eye twitching slightly.

"I believe I can give you an explanation." Libra stated coming forth. "Please do forgive my presence. I know I am not a part of your spirits, but I do know they feel the same for you as Pisces and I feel for Yukino. That is why we saved your soul. When your body was dying, we all came together and pleaded with our powers to bring you here."

"So, I'm dead… but I'm not?" She asked looking to libra for a better answer. Libra only nodded.

"Sadly, your physical body could not be saved. But with all of the twelve gates summoning our strength to protect you, we have been able to give you a place with us."

Her eyes widened when she started to realized just what the Balance spirit was trying to explain. She looked into Loke's face looking for any kind of sign telling her they were joking.

"Are you saying … That I'm a…. "

Just before she could finish her statement, Sagittarius bowed before her. His hands were outstretched towards her hold a gleaming key. It was made of pure white gold with a pink gem right in the middle. The bow of the key was wings that fell and wrapped around the shaft. The bit was shaped like a heart.

"Welcome, Princess of the Heavens, Lucy." Loke whispered.
