I want to remind everyone, I do not own Fairy Tail or it's characters. Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima.

Chapter 2- All the Fun

The mighty sky stood high above her. A beautiful blue lasting for miles on end with barely any clouds to disturb it's peace. The sun shone brightly moments away from reaching it's highest point. The rays cast down on a certain blonde wrapping her with warmth and loving arms. Protecting her from unwelcome evil.

Lucy standing mere moments dazed dropped to her knees, sinking into the sand beneath her. The blonde hadn't dared open her eyes, just pondered and let her weaknesses consume her whole. It ate her alive and so she cried and cried like never before. In result anger bubbled up inside and out came muffled cries with the pounding of her fists against scalding sand.

She had failed him with no intention to. How would he forgive her is she couldn't forgive herself?

"No one will help this time.." Voice laced with emptiness.

The mage fell to her side against the sand with a 'thud' holding her knees to her chest. After a moment she turned over onto her back fully exposed to the greedy sun. She lifted her hands to her face to wipe away the dried tears only to meet new ones. Teeth clenched, eyes sore, hands soaked and throat dry. Her body couldn't handle anymore sorrow pilling up along with repressed anger and frustration. Having her drown in her own negativity was too much to handle.

Later opening her eyes had been a difficult task because of the the amount of liquid that had escaped spilling down the sides of her cheeks. Not only that but as well the intense leaking light from the sun. She carefully wiped away remaining imperfections then immediately rose her right hand to block the rays from her eyes. And so she noticed something, her guild emblem. It's the most important piece of her. The fact that she could tell everybody, "I'm a proud Fairy Tail wizard" had meant everything to her.

Whats funny was everybody questioned the reason she decided on the color pink for her mark. It had been unimportant at first so she continued to shrug them all off. She simply told everybody that it had been her favorite color but deep down she chose the color pink for one specific reason. That reason being the person who lead her their in the first place. A pink haired fool who rescued her from a celebration of pirates. Drinking cocktails and cheering over how many women they've captured that night, her almost being one of them.

Best part of the day was when he invited her to join him for what she didn't know, would be the most craziest adventures her seventeen year old self couldn't dream in imagining. At the time Lucy had no idea what she had been getting herself into but as she she started to remember they were both running from an enormous angry army so it was her good judgement to join him.

"Natsu remember when we met? All the fun?" She murmured to herself.

A smile slowly made it's way to her features thinking about all the positive moments in her life. How would she have ever lived without Fairy Tail? The answer being never, she would never be able to live with out Fairy Tail. It's what shaped her into the women she had became today.

Lucy began to realize the precious moments in life, the memories she's made and ones yet to be. She had to fight for what she wants or in her case the future she needs with the same lovable guild and obnoxious fool. Lucy had to fight for him.

A determined mage replaced the girl who once looked down on herself. Strong hands planted into the sand instead of weak feeling the heat blister her fingers. Firm arms lifted to the point where secure legs took over. Lucy's body straightened itself raising her chest and head while making sure her balance wouldn't give in now. The blonde stood tall feeling the strong current of the wind push her hair past the shoulders covered in blue lace lined with gold. She took a huge inhale closing her eyes.

Big chocolate brown eyes opened up lit with the determination and spark she once had before and she heard it.

"Lucy!" A voice cried out.

Startled to the fact that she wasn't alone, the celestial mage whipped her head around. Natsu had been running down the mountain of sand, smile plastered on his goofy face. Along side him his furry feline Happy flying full speed ahead towards her. And behind the two was the whole guild waving and smiling for her to join them.

Natsu extended his hand towards her with an all too familiar toothy grin forming. "Come on, the adventure continues!" the dragon slayer chuckled.

Tears leaked down her cheeks falling to the sand yet again for the third time that day. But who did she care? Her family awaited her. Natsu awaited her.

Lucy slipped her fingers into his warm palm. Hand in hand her palm molded into his, a perfect fit she thought.

"Thank you."
