Chapter 2

(Serena's POV)

When they were gone I turned to Erza, and said, "Hey Erza, can I asked you a question please?"

"Of course Serena, what is it?" she said while eating her strawberry cake

"By any chance, are Natsu and Lucy a couple?" I said

"Actually, they're engaged." she said smiling

"THEY'RE ENGAGED! When did this happened." I said shocked while staring at her

"It happened awhile ago before you got here," she said then started to explain to me what happened

Flashback

(Normal POV)

It was a normal day at the guild. Lucy was at the bar talking to Mira, Erza, Cana, Wendy, Lisanna, and Charla. While Natsu was sitting at a table with Happy, Gray, Gajeel, Elfman, Jet, Droy, and Pantherlilly.

(Natsu's POV)

I was freaking out, I didn't know what to do. That's when Gray said, "Come on already, Flamehead. Just go up to her, give her a speech on why you love her so much, and then propose to her its that easy for crying out loud!"

I started to get irritated, so I said, "But what if she says no and breaks up with me. What then, Stripper!"

He was about to say something back, when Gajeel said, "She's not going to say no. I've been hearing Bunny-girl saying non-stop of how much she wants you to propose to her."

I was shocked, then Happy said, "Aye its true Natsu, me and the guys have been hearing her say it to the girls a lot."

Really she said that," I said still shocked. When I saw them nod, I thought, "So Luce does want me to propose after all. Well why am I sitting around here for this is my chance." So with that in mind I got up, and said, " Thanks for the info, Guys." Then with that said I made my way over to Lucy's table.

(Lucy's POV)

I was talking to my friends when all of a sudden I felt someone tapped my shoulder so I turned around and it was Natsu. So I gave him a hug and a kiss, then said, "Hey Natsu, what's up?"

Before he had the chance to say anything. Mira went to the stage, and said, "Hey everyone listen up, Natsu about to say something to Lucy." Then everyone turned to us and I started to blushed and apparently Natsu was blushing too.

I turned to Mira and glared at her, she mouthed to me, "You'll thank me later."

But I ignored her and turned to Natsu smiling saying, "So, what is it, Natsu?"

"Could you stand up for me real quick, Luce."

"Sure, of course." I said while smiling. So I got up and stand in front of him

He looked a bit more confident after I did that then sighed, and said, "Luce, I know that we've been together for a year and a half now both through rough times and great times. But I love you so much that I want to be with you until the end of time and for as long as we live." So with that said he got down on one knee while pulling a box out from his pocket to opened it up and show me a beautiful diamond ring that had a little flame inside it while the gold band itself was shaped-like a dragon tail.

I was staring at it for so long that Natsu had to clear his throat to get my attention. So I turned to see that he was smiling, and said, "You mean everything to me, Lucy. And for me to come up to you and getting down on one knee in front of everyone, while showing you this ring just proves how much I love you. So Lucy Heartfillia, will you do me the honor by becoming this crazy and hyperactive fire dragon slayers wife and mate?"

I was staring at him wide eyed for a long time and I could tell that he was getting nervous. So I jumped on him and gave him the longest and most passionate kiss ever, then said, "Yes, Natsu. I will married you."

He smiled at me with that toothy grin, and said, "Really."

I nodded excitedly, and said, "Yes, and here I thought that you were going to break up with me."

"Why did you think that?" He said confused while slipping the ring on my finger

"Well, you didn't talked to me this whole week so I got really worried." I said

He started to scratch the back of his head while laughing awkwardly, then said, "Well, I was practicing on how to propose to while getting the ring ready but didn't want to spoiled the surprise so that's the reason why I didn't talked to you at all."

"So that explains, and what do you mean by getting the ring ready?" I said while looking at the ring confused

"Well the truth is, the ring that you're wearing now, is hand-made." I looked at him wide eyed, then he said, " The fire on the inside of the diamond is some of my magic that I kept hidden for along time because Igneel told me to give it to the person that I'm going to marry because I'm giving them something that is a part of me and, I also had Metalhead over there to make it with these exact instructions."

"So that's where that diamond come from." said Gajeel all of a sudden understanding everything.

"What did you say, Gajeel." I asked him curiously

"Oh nothing, its just that while I was making the band for the ring. He showed me the diamond so I asked where he got it from, and what did that idiot do. He smirked at me and said that I'll have to wait and hear like everyone else. It got me so mad that I wanted to hit him so damned hard that he would have a broken arm, the dude was just so luck that Titania was there." he said while looking annoyed at Natsu.

"And why didn't Erza do anything, Gajeel," I said while looking at him in shocked.

"Apparently, she was agreeing with him and saying that its okay if we wait and then she threaten me saying that if I do anything to him before he proposes that I will faced the wrath of her." he aid while shuttering at the memory

"Wow Natsu, you really did all this for me," I said while looking at him surprise

"Of course Luce, you mean the world to me, and you know very well that I would give you the biggest surprise that you ever scene, and sure I do go overboard with it sometimes." I looked at him with a raise eyebrow, then he laughed, and said, "Ok all the time. But I know that every time I do something is that its all for you."

I started to cried then he started to freak out, and said, "Ah Lucy, why are you crying! Look I'm sorry if I said something bad!"

Then I started to giggle, and said, "You idiot, looked these aren't sad tears there happy tears. So don't worry okay," while still giggling

Then he pouted, and said, "Not funny, Luce."

So I just rolled my eyes, and said, "Oh, just shut up and kissed me already."

That seem to cheer him up already. So with that said, he lean down and kissed me and of course I started to kissed him back with my hands around his neck while his hands were around my waists. While were kissing each other, I heard everyone start to clap and cheer, while they were doing that, we pulled a part so I got on my tippy toes to whisper in his ear, and said, "I love you Natsu, always and forever."

Then he whisper back, and said, "I love you too, Luce. Until the end of time."

So we pulled back and smiled at each other. While we were doing that, I heard Cana yelled, "Alright everyone, what are we waiting for. Lets party!"

End of flashback (Serena's POV)

"And that's pretty much what happened," said Erza while eating her strawberry cake and smiling

"Wow, I can't believe Uncle Igneel gave him that diamond and I can't believe that idiot didn't tell you guys where he got it in the first place," I said while looking annoyed.

"What are you talking about, Serena," she said while looking at me serious

"That diamond that Natsu gave to Lucy is really special. Let me guess, you want me to tell you where he got it from right?" when I saw her nod, I continued, "right before they disappeared, it was a tradition that a fire dragon or dragon slayer goes to this mountain to find a very specific diamond for there soon-to-be-mate and basically its like a proposal. So the diamond they find is very rare and special and, the reason why its so special, is because the only kind of magic that can be put into is a fire dragon or dragon slayer magic because if any other tries to put their magic into it, then the diamond will break. Oh! One more thing… if the fire dragon or dragon slayer gives it to their soon-to-be-mate and they accept it, then they are bonded for life and nothing can break them apart."

She had a shocked look on her face, then said, "So that explains why he gave Lucy that diamond."

I nodded, then said, "Hey Erza, do you by any chance know where Markarov is?"

"Master? Yeah, he's over their with Cana drinking, why do you ask?" she said to me seriously

"Oh, I want to ask him a few questions and before you say, 'And what might those questions be?'

"Oh okay. Then I won't bug you with any questions," she said. Then with that said, I made my way to where Markarov was.
