'Sup! Hello! What's up? How's life? *sigh*

Hello! I'm FortePiano! Scientists said that the sun will either blow up, or shrink in a few billion years. Either way, humans are gone. After that, at least in my story, fairies, mermaids, vampires, werewolves, and other "mythological" creatures are created. Mythological creatures and humans? Pfffffft. This is about a mermaid and a vampire. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: The Start Of it All

"Have you heard the news, Lu-chan?" a bluenette asked somewhat cheerfully, carefully masking the fear in her voice. Her eyes whispered, "I'm scared... please tell me it's a false rumor." The sun is going to blow up 7013, taking the galaxy with it. People have been relatively calm, at least the older people. The young won't sit still.

"Yes, Levy, it is quite hard to believe, but it is true." Lucy replied sadly as she held up the hologram newspaper. "I've read it six times through, almost done with my seventh." She looked at the article.

"SCIENTISTS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE SUN WILL BLOW UP IN THE ESTIMATED TIME OF 7056 F.H. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE WORKING ON IT, THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY OF STOPPING IT."

It is now year 7012 F.H.. Nature has disappeared; the only place that has trees is in... there are none left... Ever since people stopped throwing away their trash and recycling the recyclables, the trash started to pile up more and more, and the government had to create another "clean community to live in. Yes, it is a stupid reason, but it is the truth. The world will end because of the stupidity of humanity. Humans kill their own kind, although they know it's wrong, slaughtered every animal on the planet, screwed up the way of living by polluting everything, although they were given several warnings, torture other people for entertainment, acted innocent when they publicly executed hundreds of people at a "football" stadium, repeated mistakes that were clearly written down... The list goes on and on.

There is no hope for humanity.

"I need to get something, do you want to come with?" Levy said as she pointed at the robot-run convenience store. Everything was run by robots. There is no such thing as "chores" or "jobs". Almost nothing is the same. "We ran out of shampoo yesterday."

"Sorry, Levy. I have something I need to do." Lucy said excitedly as she checked the time on her holo-watch. "I've gotta run!"

"It has something to do with Natsu, right?"

Lucy smiled and nodded shyly.

"I knew it!" Levy laughed. " Holo-chat me later!"

"Haha, okay." Lucy said as she waved off while running off in the distance. "I can't wait to see him..."

xxxXxxx

"I'm going to go to Mars, Lucy!" Natsu grinned. "I'm going to be a part of the movement of developing humanity there! Technology has gotten so advanced, I can start to call you, but not Holo-chat. Weird right?"

Lucy gave him a weak smile as she stared at the ground. Deep down, she didn't want him to go, but it would be rude to crush his childhood dream of saving the world.

"Aw? What happened to the bright and cheerful Lucy that I know? I'll be back in 5 years." He hit her playfully on the shoulder.

"Promise?"

"Promise." He held out his index finger, and she took it with hers, and they touched thumbs, forming a heart. Lucy smiled as she hugged him. "You promised." He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Yeah. I will come back, and as soon as I come back, I need to ask you something."

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

Three years later...

Riing riing

"Hello?" Lucy asked as she put down her pencil.

"Lucy?"

"Natsu!?"

"Okay, good. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't switch your number. Plans have changed; turns out I'll be returning in a few weeks. Do you have time the twentieth of May?"

"Of course!" said Lucy without even checking her schedule. "Are we meeting at THAT place?

"You read my mind. Meet me at 4. Oh! I need to go, duty calls. I'll see you then!"

"Yup!"

xxXxx

She waited in front of the book store.

"There's so many memories..."

xxXxx

Lucy stood in the mystery aisle as a person muttered, "Man, Erza always asks me to run the errands, never Grey... That bastard..." He stood next to her.

"Wow... Pink hair... I mean, it's not a rare color, I guess, but it's really pretty..."

"My hair?"

Lucy jumped, then blushed. "Did I say that out loud?"

"You sure did."

"I'm sorry! I just thought it was really pretty."

He grinned. "It's okay! Thanks for the compliment." He touched his hair. "I always thought it was more of a feminine color..."

"Not at all!"

"Thanks. I'm Natsu." He grinned again.

He never stopped smiling, except for when he is really serious. That was one of the things she liked about him. Playful, yet serious.

"I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you."

That was how they met. They would always "coincidentally" run into each other, she would be flipping through a magazine, or he would be carrying a stack of cookbooks and history books, occasionally grinning at her or waving and dropping the pile of books, which always made her giggle and help him pick up the books.

xxXxx

Those were just a few of the memories.

"Hey!" a voice said as he playfully tapped her shoulder. "You're here already!"

Lucy smiled. "Yup! I couldn't wait to see you!"

He had bags under his eyes.

He pulled her into a hug. "I missed you..."

Lucy giggled as she cried happy tears. "Me too!" She hugged him back. She pushed him away. "Did you get any sleep?" she asked as she wiped the tears away with her hand.

"You sound like my mom!"He chuckled. "But that's Lucy for you." He smiled. "Let's go on a walk."

"M-kay."

They walked past the fake fountain with fake water, yet it felt real. The government agreed to get rid of anything that can cause more pollution. Anything disposable disintegrates the second it's empty. There is no such thing as garbage anymore. They walked past the fake trees, that still somehow still produced oxygen.

They sat down in the grass. Natsu rested his head on Lucy's lap.

"Don't move. I didn't get any sleep." he said as he closed his eyes.

"Why?"

"I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I went straight to you, leaving as early as possible, which is a bad thing to do because usually the character who goes on a plane earlier to see someone gets into some kind of accident and dies. Thank God that I'm still alive." He chuckled.

"Mhmm."

"..." He opened his eyes. "Lucy, do you want to know why I came back early?"

"I'm sure you had your reasons." She replied as she stroked his hair.

"You see... The world is coming to an end soon." She stopped petting his hair. "Scientists made up the whole 7056 F.H. thing to prevent more panic from the citizens. Venus is now... gone."

"Are you sure?"

"According to the satellites, yeah."

"So you're here to warn the scientists?" She gulped. There was a lump in the back of her throat. "Because we're next?"

Natsu nodded slowly.

"Oh my gosh..." Lucy sobbed. "I...We... what?"

He sat up and brought her head to his chest. "It's going to be okay..."

Liar...

"What am I..? How...I..?" She stuttered.

A tear fell down Natsu's cheek.

"I-I-I w-wanted t-to..."

He closed his eyes and silently cried. "S-shhh" he said in a shaky voice. "We're going to be o-okay."

I wish I could believe you...

Night soon began to fall. "Hey, Luce? We should get going." He shook her.

Lucy woke up. Her eyes were all swollen, so were his. "I'm sorry... I didn't consider your feelings..."

"It's okay. It's the natural human instinct."

Lucy nodded.

"Do you want to meet up again tomorrow?"

"Yeah..."

"Is 10 okay with you?"

"Yeah..."

"I love you..." He kissed her.

"Me too.

"Goodnight."

That meeting was an unsettled promise because tomorrow never came, and there will be no tomorrow; at least, not for Earth.
