"Happy, wake up," Lucy whispered and nudged her blue companion.
He slowly opened his eyes. "Lucy." He acknowledged her.
The blonde smiled gently. Happy rubbed his eyes and curled his tail around Lucy's wrist as an automatic reaction.
"I'm not going anywhere," Lucy said and flicked his ear. Happy groaned in pain, but did not response.
"You know," Happy said to his friend, "I made a decision."
The girl tilted her head in curiosity.
"Magic is evil. It killed Natsu."
Instead of the expected tears, Lucy smiled sadly at his statement. "You are a magic user yourself."
"I'm using it for the good stuff."
"You're saying your magic isn't evil?"
"No."
"Then don't use the word magic itself. Evil magic is evil. Good magic is good," Lucy stated and smirked.
"Besides, Natsu is not dead. He's flying."
Happy did not have the guts to respond to her statement.

"Lu-chan, what are you reading?"
Lucy snapped out of her fantasy world to look up to one of her best friends. A small smile played on Levy's lips and the blonde girl returned the gesture.
"Pride and prejudice."
"Again?"
Lucy held her index finger against her mouth and winked. "You know I'm a sucker for romance."
"Yeah, me too," Levy sighed as she took a seat next to the young mage.
"I bet Gajeel is a hater." Lucy smirked. Levy groaned and hit her head on the table.
"What about Natsu?" Levy suddenly asked.
"What about him?"
"Was he romantic?"
Lucy laughed. "You know Natsu. He has never been romantic, not now, not ever."
"Lucy..."
"Natsu is not dead. He's flying."

"Would Lucy like something to drink?"
The celestial mage looked up from her magazine to see Juvia look at her with a sweet smile. Lucy nodded friendly.
"Hit me with a fire whiskey."
Juvia looked a little shocked by her request, but ordered it anyway.
"Aren't you enjoying the party, Lucy-san?"
"I am, but Erza ordered me to sit down, because I'm still recovering. She gave me this magazine, so I could entertain myself."
Lucy took a zip of her drink, but spit it right back into the glass. She laughed. "I don't know why Natsu likes this stuff."
Juvia took the drink out of her hand and zipped it herself. The water mage gagged.
"Juvia finds it disgusting," she whispered.
Lucy smirked as she flicked her friend's forehead. "Told you."
"Juvia wishes Natsu could have been here. Gray-sama isn't who he used to be. "
"I wish he was here too, but he is not dead, though. He is flying."

Lucy walked down the street back to her apartment. It was late at night. Fairy Tail had been partying once again, because of Mira's birthday. She wouldn't say she was drunk, but she downed enough alcohol to feel tipsy.
Upon feeling his master's situation, Loke decided to summon himself to walk her back to the apartment.
Lucy grinned and smacked his shoulder. "Loke!" She exclaimed.
Loke shook his head and smirked. "Enjoyed the night, eh?"
The girl nodded enthusiastically.
Loke was glad his master was doing better. During the time Lucy had illusions of Natsu, she never once summoned him. Of course he summoned himself, but he was ordered by the master of Fairy Tail to leave her be for the moment. He was furious, but had no other to choice to accept it.
"Where is Happy?"
"He was around here somewhere," Lucy said as she scanned the area. She suddenly stared down at her chest and slapped her forehead. "Here," she said and unzipped her jacket. Happy's head stuck out and Lucy grinned once more. "He's cosy."
"I'm jealous," Loke said.
The blonde girl rolled her eyes. "Pervert!" She accused him.
"Normally Natsu would have walked me home," she suddenly spoke.
Loke snapped his head to see the expression on her face. It shocked him. It seemed as if Lucy was blessed.
"But the best thing is that he is not dead. He's flying!"
.

"It seems nobody believes me."
"Aye..."
"But I know it is true."
"Why would he be flying?"
"He's a dragon. They fly forever."

Lucy was walking on her own in the park. She was enjoying the first sunrays, since spring had just begun. She closed her eyes and felt the warmth of the sun on her face. Suddenly something covered her eyes and she opened them in surprise.
A huge creature covered the sun. His scales sparkled in the sunlight and his eyes looked down on the girl. For a few seconds Lucy was scared, but then she smiled.
"Fly, Natsu!" She yelled.
"Fly forever!"
The creature seemed to smirk as he spread his wings. As he ascended, he spoke the following words in a low voice.
"I will be back."
"Keep flying as I will be always watching your way."
