Hello :3

Here's a new story. Just to make it clear. It's after the Tenroujima incident. Also in this story, Jude is still alive.

Summary:

The past haunts you in the most unexpected ways. I, Lucy Heartfilia can attest to that. Beside me is my annoying childhood friend/fiancé, Sting Eucliffe.

How did this happen? Well— Let's just say our parents took the chance of our lack of knowledge when we were a child and made us swear to marry each other. Apparently, when I was young I was in love with Sting Eucliffe

Poor me...

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. Never did, Never will.

Prologue

It was a usual day in my usual apartment, doing my usual things like writing my novel after being woken up by Natsu with an accidental punch. When THAT arrived.

A letter that I would never have expected from the sender. Who is it? It's my Dad, Jude Heartfilia. After coming back from the Tenroujima incident, I found out that he had finally risen back to the economic community as one of the richest people in the world.

He was still as strict, calm and collected as always but from time to time, I would see a smile on his face and after thinking about it...I understood he just wanted the best for me.

Right now, Even though we're apart, we're a happy family. He had taken all my fees and decided to pay for them, saying, "It would be an embarrassment for the Heartfilia family if the head forces his daughter to work." but I knew he was just worried for me.

So why did a letter coming from him shock me? Well— It was because It had a note in the front of the cover threatening that If I don't follow his orders, he would take me back to the mansion by force and he will not allow me to join Fairy Tail again.

My Dad learned a lot of things while living in hardship and one of them was probably, Being friends with the King of Fiore is pretty nice. So yeah...He tried his luck and then the next thing I knew the king and him were the best of buddies.

I sighed, and opened the letter. It read:

Dear Lucy,

I have something important to discuss with you. Come to the mansion as soon as you receive this letter. I have news for you. I have found out about this when I asked a maid to clean up the attic. Come quickly, Tardiness will not be tolerated.

Your Father,

Jude Heartfilia.

'Tardiness will not be tolerated... A warning. My rent and food money! ' I quickly dressed, packed my stuff, left a note and ran to the train station for a ticket to Crocus.

...Crocus, the place where the elite people lived. It was the capital of Fiore, after all. The castle was there, Domus Flau was also there. It was an important city.

After a few hours of waiting, I have finally arrived. Stumbling through the stony pathway, I ran quickly towards the mansion and kept running to My Father's study.

Behind me, the servants were chasing me. "Lucy-sama! Wait!" They yelled.

"Wait? My Rent and Food money is on the line here!" I complained

"But Lucy-sama..." They objected. The Head maid sighed. "I guess we have no choice. Attack!" She yelled.

'A-Attack?'

As soon as she said it, the servants began lunging towards me and started undressing me.

"Hey!" I yelled

Inside the Study room.

"Lucy-sama, please don't move" The maids' yelling was heard loudly through the door. And so was the ruckus outside.

"No! Stop undressing me. Kyaaaaaah!" Lucy's yelling was also heard through the door.

"Lucy-sama!"

The people inside the study room chuckled.

Jude bowed his head in shame. "I'm sorry for letting my daughter grow like that,"

"It's alright. She hadn't changed since the last time we've seen her. I think she'll be perfect for our son here."

"Too bad she became a fairy, though," The son commented.

Suddenly the doors slammed open, revealing Lucy, all dressed up in a gown and extremely pissed off. "Dad!" She yelled, then her eyes fell upon the other figures. A man and woman, and a guy who looks the same age as her.

And that guy was unmistakably...Sting Eucliffe.

"What are you doing here?" Lucy asked.

-Lucy's PoV-

After receiving the mail that threatened my allowance. I ran and ran towards My Father's study room. Without hesitation, I slammed the door open. Not expecting to see HIS face there.

To say that I was shocked was an understatement. I was beyond shocked that I almost forgot how to close my mouth, which was still gaping.

"Lucy, Dear, please close your mouth or flies may go in," A middle-aged woman with curly blonde hair and blue eyes said, sitting beside the guy I was gaping at.

I shut my mouth quickly and spoke, "W-W-What are you doing here, Sting Eucliffe?" I demanded.

"Is that how you treat your childhood friend, Lucy?" Sting said.

"Childhood friend?" I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Lucy, you remember your Mom's friends? Your Aunt Jasmine and Uncle Henry Eucliffe." Jude joined in their conversation

I stared at Sting. "Y-Y-You m-mean... You're my cute little Stingy bee? "

"The one and only, but...Hey! We're the same age. And who's YOUR Stingy bee?"

I ignored his comment "B-But...Stingy bee was this little..." I put my hands up to my thighs for emphasis, "And he was cute, but now you're telling me— THIS arrogant jerk is my childhood friend?"

Sting sighed. "And so were you. Especially, when you chase after me yelling "Sting-nii!". You really have age issues, don't you? I mean— We're as old as each other! But now that I think about it...being gone in Tenroujima for 7 years...plus 17 years old equals...You're actually 24 years old and you're officially an Old Hag!"

An irk mark appeared on my head "Lucy Kick!" I sent the Great Sting Eucliffe against the wall. "What about you? You're also supposed to be— Wait. Why do you look like a 19-year-old guy?"

"Dunno...Maybe a few minutes before your Fairy Tenroujima incident, A funny looking clock popped out, shoved me inside him and popped out in another world. There were inhuman things. I stayed there for 20 days while training and got back, only to know I was actually there for 5 whole years. I went around met up with my parents and joined Sabertooth in the remaining two years. "

'...Clock like thing? Wasn't that Horolgium...And he brought him to the spirit world, Why?'

"Anyway, Why am I here?" I looked at my Dad

"Oh yes, I have an important announcement to make."

We all looked at him, urging him to go on.

"Both of you are engaged."

"What?!" Sting demanded

"Dad. I thought you weren't going to do things like this anymore." I angrily said

"Yes. I will not. It was actually your choice."

"My choice?"

"And Sting's."

"What? I don't remember about agreeing to this engagement." Sting said

"And so do I." I backed him up. " I want a proof!"

"Okay. A proof it is."

Dad held up a recorder and pressed play.

We listened to the voices carefully.

"Ne, Lucy? Tell Aunt Jasmine and me what you want to be when you grow up?" A familiar female voice was heard.

'That voice is...Mom, which means she's in this too!'

"...Grow up?" Little Lucy paused for a moment in thought "Ah! Lucy wants to be Sting-nii's bride in the future!" She happily announced.

I turned beet red, pulled a pillow to cover my face and sank down into the sofa in embarrassment. "I can't believe that I've said that." I mumbled

Sting chuckled loudly "Bwahaha...That must be really embarassing for a Fairy. Though I am pretty desirable."

...And that caused his face to be smacked by a pillow.

Uncle Henry and Aunt Jasmine shook their heads in disappointment. Instantly, Uncle Henry pulled out another recorder from his pocket then played it.

"Sting-nii!" The voice of little Lucy was heard again and running footsteps was heard

"Oof." A young male's voice said "Be careful of running Lucy or you're gonna keep tripping." Little Sting worried

"Sorry, Sting-nii. It was just because Lucy was chased by another unknown dangerous person who probably wanted to kidnap Lucy again." she sobbed " And Lucy was too weak to fight off the man"

Sting sighed. "There's no other choice then. I decided."

"What?"

"That, In order for me to protect Lucy. I will get stronger than everyone else." Little Sting proudly said

"Okay. Lucy then, will be more of a proper lady so I can be Sting's wife in the future."

The recorder stopped.

" I can't believe I said those mushy things. Especially, to Blondie over there. It's even longer than her recording." Sting sulked

"...TWICE. I actually said I want to be his wife and bride TWICE." I joined him in his sulking in the corner of the room. When a loophole popped into my head "Aha! You must have paid someone to copy our voice and...voice that thing. Like those famous Seiyuu!"

"I can't believe I let you watch too much Anime when you were a child." Jude shrugged " Anyway, We didn't. We even have it on video."

Uncle Henry stood up, got a certain tape and put in on the Lacrima vision

As soon as the video started a little girl with Blonde hair and hazel brown eyes appeared on screen.

I stood up and quickly pressed the stop button on the Lacrima vision. "Fine. I got it. But it's not enough and it's not even Legal! How dare you use children's words for your plans."

"Yeah, you evil adults." Sting followed finally, done from his sulking trance

"Oh. Then this might help." Aunt Jasmine handed me an envelope which contained very old but important documents. I pulled the paper out and red it out loud.

"I, Layla Heartfilia/Jasmine Eucliffe, hereby swear My Child, Lucy Heartfilia/Sting Eucliffe, as engaged. To finally fullfill our dreams of being true sisters...Signed, Layla Heartfilia and Jasmine Eucliffe."

'What did I just read?' I thought as I continued to stare at the papers I was holding.

"Therefore, Congratulations you two! And also for the merging of The Eucliffe and Heartfilia Konzerns." Aunt Jasmine smiled

"But I—" I was about to interrupt her when she spoke again " You wouldn't dare leave your Mom's last wish unaccomplished, right?" She looked at me

"I—"

"Right?" She asked again, forcing me to answer. The kind of answer she wants. I gotta say, her glaring is creeping me out.

'It's so unfair! I won't dare to not do my Mom's last wish. Even if it meant marrying this jerk who hurt my Nakama. But still—' I sighed in defeat. "Fine."

-Normal PoV-

" Great! Everything's settled. Right, Sting?" Jasmine glared.

"A-A-Aye!" Sting nervously answered 'Damn that woman!' he thought

"From now on. You're engaged. Firstly, I don't want to see both of you in ANY and I repeat ANY fight between you two. Got it?" Jasmine was getting scarier by the moment

"Aye!"

"Second, You two must live together..."

"What? No way."

"Yeah! I would never—" After Sting had seen the look mom was giving him, he quickly covered up his words "...Seems great! When do we begin?"

Jasmine gave Lucy the same threatening look. "I mean—No way! As in it's a...Dream come true." Lucy said in a dreamy tone.

But in reality she was thinking, 'Ack...I want to vomit right now'

Jasmine smiled. "I'm pleased that both of you are excited. Then let us start by this day onward. We had anticipated this and built a mansion for the both of you. Here, in the middle of Crocus."

Lucy's jaw dropped. "It's a train station away from Fairy Tail! And Dad! What about my apartment in Magnolia? And what reason will I give Fairy Tail?

"Your apartment had already been paid for and retrieved by the landlady. Your things had already been brought there to your new home."

"Third, you MUST LOVE each other. That means NO Third parties. It also means Regular Dates, I'm pretty sure you won't lack financial supplies. So...Off you go." She pushed both Sting and Lucy towards the door.

They slumped their shoulders and opened it. They were about to leave when Aunt Jasmine spoke again "Oh! One more thing, Beware of surveillance cameras. We're ALWAYS watching." She warned.

Both of them gulped.

- • - • - • -

"So...Are you content with how things are right now?" Jasmine asked.

"I am." Jude walked to the window that had a nice view of the squabbling blondes. "I owe my daughter her happy ending. After everything that I have done to them in the past."

"I gotta say, you did a good job in making them forget. Sting can't even completely remember her while Lucy seemed that she had forgotten through time since the pain she felt was unbearable. Forgetting was the only way for her but she is now remembering bits of memories."

"Even though, He was my son and you did those things. I'm actually glad. That he finally can find a happy ending. We want to give this to him as his true parents. After all, he was lost and then taken in by a dragon." Henry joined in

"Those two...will fall in love, I'm sure of it...Layla." Jasmine whispered.

Tell me, What you're thinking and Review!

I'm waiting... (haha, demanding much?)
