Hello everyone! Thanks for all the reviews and everything! Plus, ArisuPandora for telling me about that last sentence. If you're just now reading this you can go ahead and look back at chapter 2 to see the fix up. Anyway, this next chapter is probably a lot shorter than the last two, but I still hope you like it.

"..."

"Lucy!"

"There are two Lucy's?!"

"Hang in there!"

"Lucy!"

"*pant pant* I...never closed... *pant pant* the… gates…"

"I know you didn't! I would never do such a thing! Why did you save me?!"

"Because...you're...my past... *pant pant* either way...I would have ceased to exist… *pant pant* to die whilst being watched by myself… it feels strange…"

"It's the same for me, so you can't die!"

"It's...ok… I managed to meet up with everyone… ever though I never thought I'd have the chance to ever again… I'm… happy with… just… that…"

"Lucy...no...you can't die…"

"I'm...not from this time...no, I'm not even apart of the people of this world… the me from this world… lives on with… her comrades… so, don't be sad…"

"That's impossible! No matter what world you're from… whoever you say you are, Lucy is Lucy! We're comrades! There's no way we won't be sad!"

"Hey...show me your guild mark…"

"Eh? You… your left hand…"

"Natsu! Check it out! I've got the mark of Fairy Tail now!"

"I really… really wanted to go on more adven… tures… protect… the future…"

"Protect… the future…"

"I promise."

I jolted up. What was that? I looked down at the sleeping Lucy in my arms. That was a memory.

"Lucy…"

"Mmm."

"Eh?" Oh crap. She's still sleeping! Please, don't wake up.

The blond started squirming around. Twisting and turning. Finally she stopped and opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were adjusting to the sun that looked like it had risen no more than an hour or two ago.

"Lucy…" I pulled into a tight hug catching her off guard.

"Natsu?"

"Hmm?"

"You're...kinda...choking me…"

I opened my eyes to see her squished against me.

"Oh," I let go surprised, "sorry. I just… well. I don't really want to talk about it."

I could see the worry in her face from the corner of my eye. "Natsu, what did you remember?"

I replied to her question with the whole story of the grand magic games leaving out some parts.

"You're avoiding telling me something that happened." She said knowingly. She knew what I was leaving out and knew why it hurt to say it, but she wanted a clear answer.

My teeth clenched. I hugged her again and I could taste the salt in my tears once they reached my lips.

"I'm sorry Lucy. Why? Why did that happen to you?"

She lifted my head up and looked straight into my red puffed up eyes. "Hey, no more tears, you hear me? There have been to many shed and there will be in the future, but none right now. Enjoy the moment. Ok?"

I nodded and we hugged again. I could hear her whisper something. It wasn't meant for me to be heard but I have super hearing.

"Forever and always…"

My eyes shot open at that. I remember everything. The pain, the screaming, the moment I had died…

"Lucy? You remember it right? 'It's ok Lucy, don't cry. No matter what happens I'll be at your side. Forever and always.' You remember that right?"

Lucy let go and stared at me.

Finally she answered, "Yes. I'll show you something later. Let's go to the guild."

The guild?

"I'm back!"

"We're back."

"Natsu! Happy! Welcome back!"

"You really went overboard again! We read in the paper that you destroyed half of Hargeon's har...bor…"

"You creep! That info you told us on Salamander was all lies!"

"There it is. The minute Natsu gets back, the place is in danger of going to pieces. Ah ha ha!"

"It's falling apart already!"

"Somebody stop Natsu!"

"Gyaak!"

"Natsu… you…"

"It's incredible."

"Happy's dive bombing us from the air!

"Aye."

"I'm really… here in Fairy Tail, huh?"

"You say that Natsu is back?! You lousy… this time we're going to finish it! You hear?!"

"Gray… what kind of getup are you walking around in?"

"Huh?! Oh, dammit!"

"That's why they say the men here have no class! It makes me sick!"

"Hey, Natsu! I'm taking you on!"

"Put some clothes on, then we'll fight!"

"This is disgusting. They aren't babies. They shouldn't be screaming and making noise continuously. If you're a man, let your fists do the talking!"

"Just another fight, huh?"

"You're just in the way!"

"And he doesn't even last five seconds?!"

"Hm? What a disturbing racket."

"It's Loke! One of the top-ranking men for "The Wizard I'd Like To Be My Boyfriend"!"

"Then you're entering the fray?! Teach them a lesson!"

"There goes another illusion! What's with this place? Isn't there an normal person in the whole place?"

"Oh! Are you new?"

"! M-Mirajane! Eee! It's you, in person! Ah! Sh-shouldn't you be stopping them?!"

"This happens all the time. It's best just to let it run its course."

"R-r-really?"

"Besides…"

"Kyaaaa! Mirajane-san!"

"Besides… it's more fun this way, don't you think?"

"It's more terrifying this way!"

"Uff!"

"Gyaah!"

"Heh heh!"

"Aaaah! Where's my underwear?!"

"Turn the other way!"

"Young lady, if it isn't too inconvenient, could you lend me your underwear?"

"Nobody lends out underwear!"

"How unsightly! I cannot understand the indelicacy of these men! By the way, you're a model right? I can tell."

"What's going on here?!"

"I will decide with my fists!"

"I said you're in my way!"

"Aww, shut up all of ya! A girl can't drink in peace here! If you can't control yourselves… Then I will!"

"I'm mad now!"

"Hyaaaaa!"

"You crass ways must be dealt with…"

"Come and get me!"
"Magic?!"

"Now, this could get tricky."

"This ends here! Cut it out, you dolts!"

I smiled as I got all the memories of my guild. I know that there is a few things missing, but everything is right there. Getting put in place. I'm truly happy at the moment.

"Yeah let's go."

Lucy and I got up out of our now uncomfortable position that we've had the entire night. I held her hand as we were walking in the underground guilds direction. I looked back to get a glimpse of the three tombstones. I realized that Lucy and I slept on top of three dead bodies! But that didn't matter right now. I just wish nothing happened to Happy, Carla, or Gramps. Why Happy though?! My little exceed. The one I raised as a little cat. Why didn't I just remember sooner?!

A few tears streamed down my face.

"Hey. I said no crying, remember?"

I thought about it for a second.

"No, Lucy. I will cry. I will in the future and I have in the past. I just won't right now. So come on!"

I wiped away the tears and gripped her hand tighter. We started running to the guild, frolicking in the fields of what used to be dead grass, but now blooming forget me not's.

"I love you Lucy."

"I love you too, Natsu."


So! Hope you liked this chapter! Now, I will add all of those other ships, but seriously. Tell me if you want a Nalu lemon or any other ship, because I need to know now! Otherwise I won't write one. Anywho! Thanks for reading, review to tell me if you want anything to happen in this story or the next chapter. Thanks! And remember, keep being weird! :P
