To Gray, she was his everything. His reason for waking up each day with a smile on his face. He loved her so much. She was like that one song that you love so much that you listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it. But, all song must come to an end, and to Gray, her song ended too soon.
They had taken an S-class request that Natsu and Happy had chosen. She had looked so nervous that Gray just wanted to tell her that she didn't have to go. But saying that might make them assume that he thought she was weak, and she was anything but weak. So Gray just gave her an encouraging nod before being dragged to the train station by an overly excited Natsu.
The job was to take down a powerful third-generation lightning dragon slayer who had resurrected one of Zeref's daemons. The pair had been destroying every village in sight and so the Magic Council had hired Fairy Tail's "strongest team" to destroy the daemon and lock up the wizard, promising them 50,000,000 jewel in return.
When they got to the village that was being destroyed, Erza pulled the team behind a boulder so they could strategize. But as soon as the scarlet haired warrior said Natsu's name, the dragon slayer and his cat companion started running toward the daemon and the man that resurrected it.
"Idiot!" Gray yelled as the rest of them ran after the salmon (not pink) haired moron. Gray looked at her, she showed no signs of fear as she ran towards the battle. Looking at her, Gray had the sudden urge to hug her or something, and tell good luck. If he was feeling cheesy (which he wasn't), he would ask her out. But he just grinned at her before taking his shirt off (damn that stripping habit!) and running to help his best friend who had ash for brains.
The battle was going surprisingly well. Natsu had sprained his wrist but it didn't seems to bother him as he used his iron fist to knock the lightning dragon slayer senseless. After that, they moved on to the daemon. Erza landed the first blow and Gray got to go all "ice-make" on his ass. And then she screamed. It was loud and Gray stopped almost instantly after hearing it. He turned around and saw her. The daemon had her in his hand. Then he dropped her. Gray, Natsu, Erza and Happy all ran to catch her, but it was too late. She was lying on the ground covered in blood, and she wasn't breathing either. Natsu snapped, he ran at the daemon and Gray ran with him. That damn daemon would pay for he had done. No one would have imagined that the two, fire and ice, would have successfully completed a unison raid, but they did. And that was the of the daemon. It was also the end of her.
Gray placed the roses (exactly eight of them) on the grave. He didn't know when he had started crying, but soon he felt the tears falling down his cheeks as he stared at letters on her grave.
Here lies Lucy Heartfilia
Beloved friend and teammate.
"You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
You like how I added the song lyrics at the end? In case you didn't know, that line is from Terrible Things by Mayday Parade. IT IS SO SAD! Anyone who hasn't heard the song should look it up. I cried when I heard it for the first time. Just so you know, I don't like flames, but I do like suggestions so I can make it better, so yeah, suggestions are welcomed with open arms!
