Day 409.

"Happy!" I yell.

"Aye sir!"

"Ready to head to bed?" I ask.

"After that yummy fish, of course!" Happy says cheerfully. I have come to the conclusion that Lucy will never come back. And I accept that. But it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt. I still miss her. She is just like any other friend that I have, so why does it hurt way more? My friends leave Fairy Tail all the time. I am sad, but I usually let go because I know they are happy and will never forget about us. But Lucy, I can't let this go. It still hurts. I just wish I knew if she was okay, or needed anything. I fall asleep looking at the stars, thinking of Lucy.

Day 426.

"Natsu!" Happy flies to hug me as we leave the magic council. "This was a long mission. I can't wait to get home and fry up some yummy fish!"

"Me too." I laugh alone with Happy. Happy and I are walking back to the train station. And guess who I am thinking about? You guessed it. A blonde celestial mage. I miss her going on missions with Happy and I. As happy and I are walking I hear a crowd of people talking about something that makes me stop in my tracks. I walk back to the group and look at the red headed girl.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" I asked her.

"About my dad?" She questions.

"No, did you say the name Tabo?"

"Oh, yea. Apparently he escaped from prison and is looking to finish off the people who put them there. If I were them, I would be so scared." She says.

"Thank you." My heart is beating frantically. Happy and I run to the train.

"Natsu?" Happy questions as the train comes to a stop and I start to feel better.

"Yea?" I question as everyone starts to get off the train.

"Is Tabo really going to come back and hurt everyone?" He asks.

"I have no idea Happy. But we need to warn everyone." We finally get off the train and start walking towards the guild.

"What about Lucy?" Happy asks. I didn't even think about that. I start to run.

"We need to find her! Let's go to the guild first!" I say while my heart is beating out of my chest. I start to run faster.

"Aye sir!"

**TIME SKIP**

"Happy, the guild is in view!" I yell back to him.

"Go on without me! I'll catch up!" Happy yells. I run through the guild doors!

"Tabo escaped from prison and wants to kill everyone!" I yell. My heart is beating so fast. My legs feel like noodles, and my head is pounding.

"We know." Erza says while walking over to me. She puts her hand on my shoulder. "Try to breather Natsu. Mirajane? Will you get Natsu some water?" Erza asks while guiding me over to a bench.

"Certainly." Mira says.

"We need to find Lucy." I say while sitting down, still trying to catch my breath.

"We already have." Master says while sitting on the bar. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up at him.

"What?" I question.

"I'm right here." Lucy says while walking out from behind a crowd of people. I run over to Lucy. I pull her into a hug. She hugs me back. I pull away and look at her.

"Where have you been?" I ask.

"It's a long story. We can catch up later." She says while letting go of me. The doors burst open and we all look at the door with anticipation.

"Aye." Happy says while walking through the door. We all sigh. Happy looks at me, then to the blonde mage in front of me.. Well, half blonde. Happy flies over and hugs her. "Lushieeee, I missed you so much." Happy says while hugging Lucy.

"I missed you too happy." Lucy says while holding him.

"Now to the main subject." Makarov says while trying to get everybodys attention. All the talk eventually dies down. "Gray, Erza, Lucy, Natsu, Wendy, and Happy." You guys must never be alone. Erza and Lucy, you must stick together. You guys both live in the dorms, so it should be easy. Natsu and Happy, you guys will always stick together. Gray, you will always stick with another wizard, we will say, Cana. Any time you are outside your dorm, you must stick with Cana. Lucy, do you still have your apartment?" Makaraov asks.

"No, I have a house now." Lucy says with a smile.

"Where?" He asks.

"On the south side." Lucy responds.

"Not good." Makarov says. It is on the opposite side of Magnolia from Natsu's house. "Do you have room for Natsu to stay until Tabo is caught?"

"Yes." Lucy says.

"Then everyone has a partner. Nobody go anywhere out of the dorms and guilds without your partner." Makarov says. "Now, let's get this party started." Makarov yells while holding up his beer. I couldn't focus on anything but how beautiful Lucy looked. She has pink streaks in her curly hair, her outfit was now a black skirt with a hot pink shirt, and she had lost a lot of weight. But she was still Lucy. Lucy walks up to me and hands me a drink.

"When are we going to catch up?" I question.

"Tomorrow." Lucy said with a smile. "We have to go to the train station early in the morning to pick up Shiro." Lucy says.

"Who is Shiro?" Lucy's smile grows bigger.

"My boyfriend." Lucy says.
