Hello my lovely snowflakes!

For my followers, yes I know I haven't been updating stories like I promised but I got bombarded with AP homework and projects...but now it's winter break! But I have AP break homework...I'm just hoping I can write enough to make up for my absence.

For returning readers of Mission Mistletoe, a flaw was pointed out to me about the story: It makes no sense. How can Natsu and Lucy have a relationship while only seeing each other once a year? So I've decided to make it a two-shot! Plus a lot of you other guys seemed to like the first story and wanted an extension, so here it is!

Mission Mistletoe Part 2!

Let's enter the snowstorm!


"Did you finally get the pictures I sent?" Natsu asked. "I've been bugging Macao about it for weeks."

He was lounging on his couch in his pajamas video chatting with Lucy.

"Yeah I got them,"said Lucy. She was wearing a green elf costume and sitting in her office in Santa's Workshop (although, her 'office' was more like a cottage with all of the Christmas trinkets and decorations). "The wedding looked great! I just wish I could've been there."

Gray had decided that Valentine's day was the best day to finally propose to Juvia. Of course she said yes, and had the wedding completely planned for the first week of December. Lucy wanted to come, but she was busy all year round and her only day off would be Christmas Day. Because of that, she and Natsu would talk on the phone and video chat as much as they could to maintain their long distance relationship.

"You make a cute best man," she added. Natsu chuckled slightly, "Aww, you're just sayin' that," he waved his arm at the webcam.

"No I'm serious! You look absolutely adorable in this picture!" Lucy pulled up a framed picture of the bridal party which included Juvia, Erza, Levy, Gray, Gajeel, Jellal, and Natsu from the side of her desk.

"You framed that?" Natsu asked incredulously.

"Of course!" Lucy said. "This is the only picture I have of you guys and I need mementos. You can't blame me for-"

"Lucy! Lucy! It's an emergency!" Suddenly, Lucy's office door swung open and in ran Aries, her assistant. She turned around in her desk chair to face her.

"Aries! What have I said about barging in on my breaks?" Lucy shouted.

"Oh! I-I'm terribly sorry miss, but...the Xbox 360 and Xbox One shipment just came in," she said shakily.

"Aaaand?" She crossed her arms and legs.

"They sent 5 Xbox Ones and 5,000 Xbox 360s."

"They what!" Lucy shot out of her chair and began to slowly creep towards Aries with the look of death in her eyes. "I specifically said that I wanted 50 Xbox 360s and 50,000 Xbox Ones," she was muttering and her eye was twitching slightly. By now Aries was backing away slowly and Natsu was just looking on awkwardly. "Not only did they switch the ratios; they forgot to add zeros to both!" she threw her arms in the air for emphasis.

She rubbed her temples with her pointer finger and thumb and closed her eyes. "Goblins. I swear they have no brains."

Lucy sighed. "Alright, Aries, I'm coming." She turned to her red and white striped laptop with a pleading look. "I'm so sorry, Natsu, but," she gestured towards the door with her head.

"It's fine, go ahead. I know when Christmas needs saving you'll be on the job," Natsu said jokingly.

"More like when goblins need strangling I'll be first in line," she said as she grabbed her clipboard and stormed out of the room.

"Lucy, wait! You forgot to turn off your web...cam," Aries's voice died off on the last few syllables and she turned around to stare awkwardly at the screen. Natsu smiled awkwardly back.

Aries quickly walked over to the laptop. "H-Have a nice day...sir?" She then clicked 'End Call.'

. . .

Aries tried to keep up with Lucy as she made long strides forward.

"I want them back and I want my actual order to be here by this afternoon! And I want a full refund on the first order!" Lucy screamed into her Christmas tree shaped phone. "Too much? You think I'm asking for too much! You're lucky I don't demand the whole order for free!"

"Umm...Lucy?" Aries said quietly behind her.

"Now you listen here you little brat," Lucy said venomously. Aries squeaked in response. "I called your company six times and even went to the shop to check on the order. This is completely your fault and you will whatever I tell you to save your future financial life!" Lucy jammed her finger over the 'End' button and sighed.

Aries also sighed, relieved that Lucy wasn't talking to her before.

"Alright, emergency dealt with. I doubt even goblins can mess up my order now," Lucy said confidently as she kept on walking.

"Oh! T-That's good," Aries said; following her. "So are going to go back to talking to Natsu?" she asked.

Lucy checked the clock in the hallway. "No, by now he's probably hanging out with Gray, Jellal, and Gajeel."

"Oh, so how goes it with Mr. Magnolia?" Loke suddenly walked up behind them and joined the conversation.

"Would you stop calling him that? His name is Natsu," Lucy said.

"Would you stop dodging my question?"

"I'm not dodging your question."

"Then why haven't you answered me?" Lucy stopped to glare at Loke. "Is this tension is sensing? Trouble in Christmas-Land?" he asked, smirking.

"N-No! Why would there be trouble?" Lucy said quickly. Both Aries and Loke quirked an eyebrow at her. "Okay, well maybe there's a little trouble, but it's really nothing!"

The three of them reached the Candy Cane Cafeteria and seated themselves at a red and white stripped circle table.

"What kind of trouble is it?" asked Aries.

"It's nothing big really...or at least I think it's not." Lucy sounded uncertain of herself. "Alright, let me ask you guys a question. If you guys only got to see each other in person once a year, do you think your relationship would work?"

Loke and Aries simultaneously looked at each other and then back at Lucy before saying, "No."

"Ugh! See! That's the problem! I like Natsu, I really do, and I might even love him, but how can we have a real relationship when most of the time I can only see him through a screen!"

"Maybe you have to end it," Aries said sadly.

"End it? Just give up like that? What kind of friendly advice is this?" replied Lucy. She buried her face in her arms on the table.

"No, Lucy, Aries is right. You can't go on like this, the relationship would never move forward. Your only option is to end it, unless you go and live in Magnolia, but that'll never happen," Loke said the last part jokingly but Lucy looked up hopefully at it.

"Um, that'll never happen...right, Lucy?" Loke asked suspiciously.

"Weeell," Lucy started.

"No! You can't actually be thinking about leaving the North Pole! Are you?" asked Aries.

"I kinda am. I've been thinking about it for the past few months and Loke is right. Either I leave or I end my relationship with Natsu."

"Did you not hear the 'or' in your sentence?"

"Look, I love working here in the North Pole and I no matter how crazy it makes me, I love my job," Lucy took hold of Aries's hands and looked into her eyes. "You of all people should know that, Aries. But I'm 26 and have had zero romantic encounters. This is my first and maybe last relationship. I just want to give it all that I've got before I give it up." Aries looked back into Lucy eyes and saw the same passionate look she had whenever she was determined to solve a problem.

"Okay," Aries nodded slightly, "I give you my blessing." Lucy smiled widely and reached out to pull Aries into a hug.

"Thank you so much Aries!" Lucy shouted.

"Does it matter that I still don't approve?" Loke asked.

"No."

"Lucy!" A little girl with long navy hair in pigtails and pointed ears rushed up to hug Lucy in her seat.

"Hi, Wendy! How's Earth-Elf Training going?"

"Great! Today I learned which Christmas carols are the best to sing before Christmas and which are best on Christmas Day. Jingle Bells before, Jingle Bell Rock during."

"Wow, even I didn't know that. You'll be a great addition to the EED someday. You're 12 now right? Only a few more years to go." Lucy ruffled Wendy's hair and Wendy giggled in response.

"Oh, yeah! I forgot to tell you! They found someone in the EED who's going to take care of me until I'm old enough to stay on my own so now I can go in just one more year!"

"That's great, Wendy!" said Lucy. "And maybe I'll be joining you down there."

"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Wendy.

"I'm thinking about transferring to the EED so I can be a little closer to some certain people."

"Like me!" Wendy exclaimed to which Lucy laughed.

"Yeah, that's right! Just like you!" Lucy squeezed Wendy in another tight hug.

"So can I go with you when you pick up the letters this year? I really want to see Magnolia!" Wendy asked.

"Magnolia? Are you sure you're not just trying to visit Romeo?" Lucy asked suspiciously.

"No! I really want to see Magnolia! But seeing Romeo won't be bad either..." Wendy muttered the last part to the floor.

Lucy laughed, "I swear you two are the most adorable friends I've ever seen."

"Yeah. Friends." Loke said sarcastically.

. . .

Natsu removed a jumbo sized bag of chips from the cupboard and brought it over to the coffee table his friends were surrounding.

"Thanks again for coming over," said Natsu.

"I'm only here because Juvia isn't home," said Gray who was on the couch.

"I'm only here because you promised food," said Gajeel who was on the floor and already attacking the chips.

"I'm only here because Erza kicked me out," said Jellal who was cradling his baby in his arms (on the couch).

"Yeah, that doesn't explain why you brought Rosemary with you," said Natsu.

"Levy and Juvia are at our house right now. You really I'm going to let a pregnant woman, a stalker-"

"Hey!" Gray interrupted but was ignored. "-and Erza take care of my 5 month old child?" said Jellal.

"He has a point." said Gajeel. "Mix up Erza's weirdness and Juvia's craziness-"

"Seriously guys, that's my wife you're talking about!" Gray cut in but was once again ignored. "-and then add Levy's hormones to the mix? Any being within a 10 mile radius is in danger. You were smart to bring the kid."

"Besides, you like being with Dada don't you?" Jellal cooed and gave Rosemary Eskimo kisses. Rosemary spit up on Jellal's shirt in response.

"Aww would you look at that. Torturing her daddy already, she takes after her mother so much," said Natsu and the others howled with laughter. Jellal just glared at them before retreating to the bathroom with Rosemary.

"So why did you really ask us all to come here?" asked Gray. Natsu looked at his curiously. "Oh come on, I know there's a reason. Your hosting the Christmas party this year and you know Erza would accept nothing less than an absolutely spotless apartment. You would never voluntarily invite the three of us here to destroy this place."

"So you're saying you plan on destroying my apartment?" Natsu joked.

"You know what I mean, and you're now answering the question."

"Yeah, why did you invite us?" asked Gajeel who had stopped eating long enough to hear the conversation.

"Did it ever occur to you guys that maybe I just wanted to spend some quality time with the people I care about the mo-"

"Cut the crap, Pinky," said Gajeel.

"Harsh," said Natsu plainly, "But you broke me. I need some help."

"There's the Natsu I know! Exploiting his friends without a single care in the world!" Gray said. "Hey Jellal, we'll probably need all hands on deck, get your dirty little butt out here!"

Natsu and Gajeel stared incredulously at Gray as Jellal slowly came out out of the bathroom to give him the same look.

"What?" he asked in confusion.

"Did you not just hear yourself?" asked Jellal.

"What'd I say?"

Gajeel was about to answer but Natsu covered his mouth. "Give it a second."

After a while a look of realization spread across Gray's face. "There it is," said Natsu.

"Oops," Gray said; smiling shyly.

"Moving on from the accidental innuendos, I need you guys' help with Lucy." said Natsu.

"We're all ears...and mouths," said Jellal; glancing at Gajeel who had returned to eating. He made his way back to his spot on the couch after he set a sleeping Rosemary in the baby rocker he brought in Natsu's bedroom.

"Okay, well, it's just that umm...I guess the thing is that we...and I just-"

"Spit it out man, we don't have all year!" shouted Gray.

"Ugh! I just don't know if I can stay with Lucy!" Natsu shouted. He flopped down in between Gray and Jellal on the couch and sighed. "I mean we've been together for almost a year and our relationship hasn't moved forward at all."

"You mean you haven't 'been with her' since you got together? Not even once?" asked Gray using his fingers as quotations. Natsu, Gajeel, and Jellal gave him the same incredulous star as before.

"If I haven't even physically seen her since we first got together, how could I have possibly 'been with her' since then?" Natsu said, although he used finger quotations sarcastically. "Seriously, what is wrong with you? Did you forget to take your smart pills today?"

"You have to forgive him. I think all the love he's been getting from Juvia killed quite a few of his brain cells," said Jellal.

Gray smirked. "What can I say? We're newlyweds." Jellal and Gajeel returned his smirk knowingly.

"You know some day I might actually be able to share the 'newlyweds smirk' too but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon if you guys can't focus and help me!" shouted Natsu.

"Oh, right, your problem," said Gajeel.

"Anyway, when I said our relationship wasn't moving forward I meant on a wider scale. I mean we haven't even gone on an actual date."

"So, what's the problem with that? You video chat all the time don't you? Those don't count as dates?" asked Jellal.

"It's not a date if I can't actually touch her," said Natsu. "But that's still not the point!"

"Then what is the point?" asked Gray.

"I don't know! It's hard to explain." Natsu rested his head against the couch and looked upward towards the ceiling. "You know that silly kids song with two people sitting in a tree?"

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G?" said Jellal.

"Yeah, that one. It's 'first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes going to your friends house because your wife and her friends are crazy and you need to protect your baby'."

"First, that last part wasn't a very subtle reference. Second, rude," said Jellal.

"Why you gotta be so ruuude!" sang Gajeel suddenly.

"Don't you know I'm human toooo!" Gray joined in.

"Why you gotta be so ruuude! I'm gonna marry her anyway!" they sang together.

"Marry that girl!" Jellal sang too.

"Marry her anyway!" The three of them rose from their seats and started to dance around the space to the tune.

"Marry that girl!"

"No matter what you say!"

"Marry that girl!" Jellal body-rolled and pointed at Natsu who was was just face-palming repeatedly.

"And we'll be your family!"

"Why you gotta be so..."

"Ruuuuuude!" The three men sang together and swayed to the floor in a perfectly synchronized fashion.

"Why aren't we in a band?" asked Gajeel.

"Guys! Can you please just help me and stop fooling around!" shouted Natsu.

"Fine, fine, jeez," said Gray as they all went back to their seats. "You used to be fun Natsu. Now even Jellal is more fun than you, and he has a kid."

"Yeah, loosen up a little! You should've sang with us, you usually love doing that," said Gajeel.

"I would have a bit more fun if you guys were actually helping me with this problem."

"What do you mean if? I just helped you!" said Jellal.

"In what way have you possibly helped me!" asked Natsu.

"I pointed at you mid-song! Marry that girl!" Jellal reenacted the scene for Natsu. "It was a message for you."

"You think I should marry Lucy?" asked Natsu.

"I meant it as a figure of speech. You said the stages of the relationship are love, marriage, and family right? So then if your relationship is stuck in one phase, move to another one."

"That's the problem! If you would let me finish talking, you'd know that I can't move the relationship forward if I don't even know where we are in it!"

"Don't you love her?" asked Gray.

"I think I do, but I don't really know. And I don't know if she loves me at all."

"Then your relationship seems to be moving fine. You're in the "Do I love her' stage. Next is the "I definitely love her' stage."

"But how can I be so sure that I love her if I only see her once a year? I feel like I don't really know her."

"Then that's what you need to work on next," said Gajeel. "Seeing her way more often."

"And how do I do that if she works around the clock in the North Pole?" asked Natsu.

"That, my friend, you must figure out on your own," Jellal patted Natsu on the back.

"Now can we get back to rocking out?" asked Gajeel, standing up again.

"Yes!" Gray shot out of his seat and Jellal followed along. The three men looked to Natsu who was still sitting on the couch and quirked their brows at him.

"Okay, fine, I'll play for a bit," Natsu said, getting up from his seat.

"Yes! Alright, from the top," said Gajeel.

"Saturday morning jumped out of bed..."

. . .

"You want to leave the North Pole?" Mr. Clause asked incredulously. "So, you want to transfer to the EED?" Lucy nodded slowly in response. Aries and Loke followed Lucy to Santa's office and stood on either side of her for moral support.

"You can't! Lucy, you're Head of the Gift Division! That's the most important division!" He said from behind his desk.

"But can't you just get someone to take over?" Lucy asked?

"Who do you know is capable of handling your job successfully?" Lucy thought to herself. She knew her job was hard and not just anyone could do it. Only a dedicated, strong-willed person would survive.

"What about Mirajane? She's perfect and she already has a little experience from taking over for a day last year."

"Mirajane is Head of the List Division so she already has enough on her plate." There were hundreds upon thousands of lists that needed to be managed in the workshop. Of course, the most important one was the Naughty or Nice list, but there were also lists for people who believe in Santa Clause, people who didn't believe in Santa Clause, people who lived in each city, state, country, and continent, people who wanted a certain gift, etc.

"But as Head of the Division, Mirajane only manages the Naughty or Nice List, she could still handle the gift division," Lucy said.

"Lucy, Mirajane isn't taking over your job and that's final." Mr. Clause returned his eyes to the work on his desk.

"But Mr. Clause please!" Lucy pleaded. "I need to get transferred to the EED, it's the only way I can save my relationship!"

Mr. Clause looked back at Lucy's pleading face. "Alright, fine. Just because you're my favorite elf." Lucy opened her mouth to retort, "Non-Elf, sorry." Mr. Clause corrected himself before she could say anything.

"If you can get someone who can take over your job, and isn't the Head of any Division, by the time you leave for the letters on Christmas Eve then I'll have you transferred into the EED."

"Yes!" Lucy launched herself to her boss. "Thank you Santa!" she exclaimed. "Oops, I mean, Mr. Clause."

Lucy retreated from the office with Loke and Aries is tow.

"Come on guys, this can't be that hard!"

. . .

"How is this so hard?" Lucy collapsed into her desk chair while Aries and Loke looked on with sorrow.

"I've asked everyone in this whole freaking building and absolutely no one is capable of taking over this job! I'm going to be stuck doing this for the rest of my life!"

Lucy asked everyone she knew and everyone either wasn't qualified, already had to much work to do, or just didn't want the job.

"Sorry, Lucy. You know I'd take the job in a heartbeat but I'm the only one who can talk to the reindeer," said Lisanna when she was asked.

"I would help you out, but I don't think I can handle that kind of stress. I think I'll stick to to making," Laki said.

"Head of the Gift Division? Does the office come with a liquor cabinet?" said Cana.

"I give up! This is it! I'm going to be stuck up here while Natsu goes and finds another girl! One that he can see more than once a year!" Lucy hunched over in her seat and stared down at her shoes.

"Don't give up, Lucy, I'm sure it's not too late yet," said Aries.

"Of course it's too late! It's Christmas Eve already and soon I'll have to go pick up the letters from Macao."

"Look on the bright side," said Loke, "at least you'll get to see Natsu for a few minutes today."

"Not even. He said that he tried to get off work today but too many people called in sick and the fire station needs all the people they can get," said Lucy. "I still can't see him until tomorrow."

The door to Lucy's office swung open and Wendy bounded in with Mirajane behind her.

"Lucy! I brought your replacement!" shouted Wendy.

"Replacement?" asked Lucy.

"Hey, Lucy!" said Mirajane. "I can't wait to take over the Gift Division!"

"Wait, wait, what?" asked Lucy. "What are you guys talking about?"

"I'm taking over for you when you transfer to the EED tomorrow right? At least that's what Wendy told me."

Lucy looked to Wendy.

"What? When you said you wanted to switch to the EED with me I knew you'd need a replacement, so I asked Mira."

"But Mirajane, you're the Head of the List Division."

"I was, but Evergreen just took over," said Mira.

"But isn't Evergreen Head of the EED?" asked Loke.

"She was, but now that spot is open for Lucy to take."

"I'm so confused..." said Aries.

"Look, Evergreen has been wanting to have my job for years so that she could come back to live in the North Pole and be closer to Elfman. I'm just finally giving her what she wanted."

"But didn't you like being the Head of the List Division?" asked Lucy.

"Of course I did, but managing the Naughty or Nice List gets old pretty quick. I actually had a lot of fun when I took over for a day last year! If you'd only asked me to take over sooner, this would be all over and done with by now."

Lucy sighed.

I knew asking Mirajane was the right thing to do, but does anyone listen to me? No!

"So can we go get the letters now Lucy?" asked Wendy.

"Yeah, in a second, but I have to go tell Mr. Clause everything now."

"Don't forget you also have to pack all your stuff. You're moving away from the North Pole," said Mirajane.

. . .

Natsu stood in the clear area in the park where he knew Lucy would hide the sleigh with a bouquet of red and green flowers. A large breeze fell over the entire park and he looked up to see the sleigh making its decent to the earth.

"Okay, guys, lets hurry up and get this over with," said Lucy when her head popped up above the sleigh. Natsu was filled with a rush of joy when he saw her and had to restrain himself from rushing over to her.

He was about to walk over to her, calmly, when he saw two other heads pop up. One was a blue haired little girl who he didn't recognize, the other was a white haired woman who had a large resemblance to...

"Mirajane?" Natsu said out-loud.

Lucy looked over to him. "Natsu?"

"Oh hi ,Natsu!" said Mirajane.

"Natsu!" Lucy jumped down from the sleigh and launched herself into Natsu's arms, making him drop the flowers. "What are you doing here? I thought you said you had to work today!"

"I wanted to surprise you when you got here today!"Natsu looked at the crushed flowers on the floor. "And I wanted to give you those, but I guess it's a lost cause."

Lucy looked down. "Oh, I think I kinda stepped on those a little."

Natsu and Lucy held each others hands and just smiled at each other.

"Yo, Lucy!" They looked over to the entrance of the clearing and saw Gray, Juvia, Erza, Jellal, Gajeel, and Levy all coming towards them.

"Levy! Look at you!" Lucy went over to hug her friend before feeling her large tummy.

"Yeah, I know. Only 3 more months to go before little Gale is ready to meet the world." said Levy.

"Hi Levy!" Wendy had gotten out of the sleigh and ran over to hug Levy.

"Wendy? What are you doing here, I thought you were coming next year." Levy said as she hugged her back.

"I am, I just came with Lucy to get the letters."

"Wait, Wendy, is Levy going to be your caretaker when you get into the EED?" asked Lucy.

"Yup!" said Levy.

"What!?" screamed Gajeel. "You adopted a kid and you didn't even tell me!"

"I was planning on telling you," Levy said calmly.

"When?!"

"Next year, when she got here." Levy was already pushing Gajeel away before he could start throwing a tantrum about how she doesn't tell him anything ever since she got pregnant.

"Is that Mirajane?" asked Gray.

"In the flesh," said Mira. She too had gotten out of the sleigh and joined the group.

"But I'm just here on babysitting duty," she ruffled Wendy's hair for emphasis.

Natsu pulled Lucy away from the group while they all started to talk together about why Mira was there.

"Lucy, I have a surprise for you," he said.

"Me too! But you go first."

Natsu took a deep breath. "I'm going back to the North Pole with you!"

Lucy started at him with her mouth hanging open and her eyes wide. She shook her head to snap herself out of it. "You what?"

"I know its sudden and random, but I've been thinking about it. How can our relationship move forward if we hardly ever see each other? So I'll just move to the North Pole!"

"You're moving to the North Pole?" asked Erza.

"Yeah!"

"When is that supposed to happen? Did you even think of telling us?" said Jellal.

"Well, I just came up with it this morning so I didn't have time to tell anyone. I figured I'd just get on the sleigh with Lucy and go."

"And where's all your stuff? You were just going to move to the North Pole with nothing but the clothes on your back?" asked Gray.

Natsu looked up in thought. "Oh. I kinda forgot about that."

"Hey, if he's going to the North Pole, so am I. I've got a bone to pick with Santa about my childhood Christmases," said Gajeel when he returned with Levy.

"Me too! I wanna sit on the real Santa's lap!" said Erza.

"Road trip!" shouted Gray. "I call shotgun!"

"Okay, enough!" shouted Lucy. "No one is moving to the North Pole today and none of you are getting in that sleigh!"

Gray was already halfway to the sleigh. "Aww, man." He retreated slowly.

"But, Lucy, don't you want us to be together for more than one day?" Natsu looked at her pleading.

"Of course I do Natsu, but this is just reckless. What about your job? And friends? You need to be here." Natsu sighed in defeat.

"Buuut...hold on," Lucy ran over to the sleigh quickly and stopped in front of Rudolph. "Hey there old buddy," she said sarcastically. Rudolph snorted at her. "Okay, okay no attitude." Lucy bent down in front of him. "This'll be the last time for a while that we ever get to see each other again. I know we've had our spats, and I'll never forget how you betrayed me last year, but that all led to me meeting Natsu so I've forgiven you for that."

Rudolph grunted at her. "Lisanna isn't here to translate so I'm just going to assume that was an apology." Lucy hugged Rudolph's neck before going over to the sleigh and pulling out a snowman shaped suitcase.

"I don't have to be there!" she shouted.

Natsu looked from Lucy to her suitcase and back to Lucy confused. Lucy sighed, "I'm moving to Magnolia!"

"Really?" Natsu asked hopefully.

"Yup!" Lucy said excitedly.

"But what about your job?"

"I'll explain all that later. All you need to know is that now I'm going to be living in an apartment only 10 minutes away from yours!"

"That's great!" Natsu lifted Lucy and swung her around in a circle. When he dropped her, they looked into each others eyes before leaning towards each other for a kiss.

"Aww, would you look at that. It's been a whole year and they finally get to share their second kiss," Juvia sighed in awe.

Natsu pulled away first and they continued to stare into each others eyes.

"Okay, as sweet as this moment is and all, I have work to do back at home and we need to get those letters," said Mira as she pushed Lucy and Wendy towards the post office. Juvia, Erza, and Levy followed behind them.

"Are all of your clothes Christmas related costumes?" Erza asked looking at Lucy's snowman costume.

"What? Is this not in style in Magnolia?" asked Lucy. "I knew it! The top hat is too much!"

"It's not just the top hat, sweetheart," Erza patted Lucy's back gently.

"Don't worry Lucy, we'll take you shopping for some new stuff," said Levy.

The guys all watched the girls talk and walk further away from the park.

"So, did you figure out if you love her?" asked Gray.

"Not exactly, but I think I'll have plenty of opportunities to find out." Natsu watched as Lucy laughed at whatever Juvia told her. Lucy looked back and him and smiled, waving her arm for him follow.

"Yeah, plenty of opportunities."

Natsu, Jellal, Gray, and Gajeel all walked towards the girls and closer to the post office where Lucy would perform her last job as Head of the Gift Division at Santa's Workshop and move on to becoming Head of the EED.


And we've made it to the ice castle!

Again, rushed ending but I guess that's just like my trademark or something.

I really hope you guys liked part 2 and I hope it lived up to your expectations!

Be sure to leave a review to tell me how you liked it! Leave enough and I might make a part 3 next year...

Nah, I'm just kidding. This'll most likely be the last part of this story. Everyone knows that when a popular series gets too many sequels it starts to lose its charm.

So anyway, Merry Christmas you guys!

I hope you all have a great holiday!

And I'll see ya next storm!
