Chapter Four - Only Girl

Key: In Gray POV he will be talking with his conscience. Only Gray POV though.

Bold words is the Devil Gray.

Underline words is the Angel Gray.

The day after the girls outing the guild was louder than usual. The girls hadn't arrived at the guild; even our favourite white haired waitress wasn't there. The guys thought nothing of it and continued to do things that they couldn't get a chance to do while the woman were here.

Basically they trashed the whole place and turned it upside down. Chairs were thrown across the room tables were used as defence. They were having a battle against each other using their magic.

Natsu burned things whilst Gray froze things. Elfman and Gajeel smashed things and everything was getting heated up in their battle zone. Wakaba and Macao were sitting at the back corner of the guild. Watching like the old men they are.

You're probably wondering where Master is, yes. Well he isn't in town he had to go to a meeting at Clover Town. So the guys had the place to themselves… Or so they thought—

They didn't even notice when the girls walked up to the half broken doors of the guild. Mira slightly opened the doors and they came crashing down; her face gone from cheerful to her 'Demon Persona'.

Mira showed off her true power Take Over: Satan Soul. The anger in her eyes was scaring enough. The guys got off from the ground and darted to any exit; having no luck because of the other girls also giving off their death glares. They were pretty much done for.

Erza had already requipped to her Heaven's Wheel Armour, her swords surrounding them all in the guild. You can say there were lots of them too.

But before dealing with them they change the scenery out in the forest. Their eyes locked on the guys. The girls stared each of them down, all the guys were doing were just getting smaller and smaller and smaller.

All was heard from the forest was groans, screams of torture and any other noises you would hear when feeling the wrath of the women of Fairy Tail…

After dealing with the guys who were unconscious in the forest they went back to the guild. They cleaned what they could and got the guys to do the rest.

DO NOT MESS WITH THE WOMEN OF FAIRY TAIL!

I REPEAT, DO NOT MESS WITH THE WOMEN OF FAIRY TAIL!

WEEKS LATER~

Weeks have passed since Natsu and Lisanna's break up. She isn't as depressed now, Lisanna even talks to Natsu once in awhile. Though some can still see that she's holding in her tears.

Word has been flying around about Natsu liking Lucy. Everyone knows this but they don't know that he really loves her. That confession kept locked up tight, no one is going to know.

Natsu and Lucy have gone back to being best friends again. It's a bit awkward for Lucy when Natsu hangs around her. He did give her a shocker of a confession.

Natsu is back to his normal idiot self. It's like none of it happened- him breaking up with Lisanna or telling Lucy one hell of a confession. But he acts a bit over protective about Lucy for Grays liking when on missions.

Gray had done a solo mission to take his anger out from Natsu. He's still annoyed on how Natsu likes Lucy but doesn't show it. They didn't even fight each other for the last few days because of it.

Now being July 1st the guild has returned to its normal state.

Gray POV

Yes! Today is the day. My calendar says it is Lucy's Birthday. Meaning my girlfriends birthday, meaning my lovers birthday, meaning—

Get on with the story damn it!

Okay, okay. Jeez! Who even said that? Whatever, so today is Lucy's Birthday and I'm like gonna go crazy if I don't have anything for her. Yeah I don't have anything right now that's why I have to think before the party starts.

I have quite a lot of time though. The party starts at around 6 so no problem. Okay… Think, think… umm. Yes! I got it. Wait no, that's not good enough.

Aurgh so frustrating. Maybe I can think of something at the guild? Yeah let's go the guild.

As I open the big doors to the guild nothing obviously changed about this place. Still people being noisy, no noisy isn't the word. Lively, yeah there we go. I took a seat far away from their liveliness to think of the best present for Luce.

I had no clue how long I was thinking but it seemed a while with the guild gone quiet. They probably went out to help with the preparations for later on or something.

Still nothing; I'll be such a gay boyfriend if I don't get Luce anything. Don't worry I am definitely not gay.

That's what he says…

Ignoring who the hell said that. I went back to thinking…

YES! I got it; I finally know what to get her. I was so glad I found something that I jumped out of my chair. Others around me were giving me weird looks. I just shrugged at them and sat back down.

So the gift I'm going to get Luce is well not really gift but something better. I Gray Fullbuster, ah that just sounds weird now.

I am going to propose to her. Yes I'm going to do it, tonight. This is awesome!

Minutes later~

Who am I kidding this is crazy. It's too early.

But you love her so much, might as well propose.

Yeah you're right! Wait who the hell are you?

We've been through this too many times now. *Sigh*

You got that right! Stupid guy doesn't even know who we are.

Get out of my head damn it! I'm trying to think and you're not helping.

To answer your question, we are your freaking conscience. Damn how many times do we have to do this introduction?

What? So you've done this many times before?

Yes we have unfortunately…

What do you mean unfortunately?

Stuff it! Okay now… You said you were going to propose to Lucy.

Hmm? Yes, yes I did. I've been saving up to. Don't know why though, but I can use the money to buy the ring.

Yes! So you'll be doing it tonight, at a romantic scenery, right? Even better it's the full moon today! Uh tonight.

Hey yeah you're right!

So we got that settled. Now what are you going to do once you have proposed?

Take her to some place? I don't know. I'm no expert!

You surely aren't…

H-Hey!

Stupid boy…

Well what can I give her that I haven't? I've done all the things that a girl wants. Like taking her on dates, buying her flowers, walking her home, comforting her… Am I missing anything out?

Thanks to Mira. *Snickers*

Shut up, damn you!

You can have kids!

What? Yeah we can have kids. Why didn't I think of that? Wait! Wait! KIDS! Are you insane? Kids right now… I'm still a hundred years young to be having kids.

I flailed my arms in frustration. The others around me looked at me like I was crazy. I ignored them at went outside. My conscience still with me, tsk can't they just leave.

Hey you know we can hear what you're thinking.

Does it look like I give a damn!

Gray was so caught up with his damn conscience that he didn't even notice Lucy running to him. "Hey Gray!" She called out.

Gray didn't hear and just walked straight pass her, like she was invisible. His forehead was cringed and his hands stuffed in his pockets, frustrated. Lucy stared in disbelief.

'How can he not see me? Something's sure up. He didn't even say Happy Birthday to me.' Lucy frowned and went to the guild.

She turned back to the boy with black hair a worried mask plastered on her face. "Gray…" She murmured.

"Hey Luce, Happy Birthday!" Lucy's pink haired best friend yelled for all to hear. She turned to face him the worried mask gone but the tone in her voice was still concerned.

"T-Thanks Natsu!" She stuttered a bit. Natsu oblivious to the tone of her voice got her in a bear hug.

Lucy screeched. "N-Natsu p-put me down right now!"

"Sorry." He apologised and put her to the ground. Happy came flying in and hugged her chest tight.

"Happy Birthday, Lucy! I got you a present!" Happy piped up, showing her a wrapped up present in a form of a fish.

She giggled at his present knowing what it is. "Thank you!" She was about to take it, but he took it back. "Eh?"

"Sorry Lucy, but I can't give it yet." The blue cat mentioned.

"Yeah, sorry Luce. I was gonna give yours now too, but I remembered Mira say that presents will be given at the party. So you have to wait til the afternoon." Natsu frowned.

"Oh? That sounds good then." She waved to them and headed to the bar. Taking out a stool and dropping her head to the bench.

"Oh my… Lucy, what's wrong?" The mother like woman came by leaning against the bench from the other side.

Lucy looked up to the white haired beauty a frown intact to her face. "I-It's Gray… He… He… He's avoiding me." Lucy wailed.

Mira rubbed soothing circles on Lucy's back as she slouched back onto the bench. Lisanna not so far came by, her face worried. She took a sit next to Lucy.

"Lucy what's wrong? What happened?" Lisanna pushed onto her.

Lucy didn't answer. "She said that Gray's avoiding her…" Her sister answered. Lucy starting sobbing again once Mira said Grays name.

"L-Lucy… It's gonna be okay." Lisanna reassured her.

Erza had finished off her cake and was listening on their conversation. "What did Gray do to you Lucy?" She demanded.

Lisanna gasped and nearly fell of her stool.

"Lucy said Gray's avoiding her." Lisanna whispered into her ear, not wanting Lucy to hear Grays name.

"What! Where's that idiot?" Erza looked around the guild only to have Gray nowhere in sight.

"But I'm sure he has a good reason. He's probably stressed out or something." Mira gave Lucy a strawberry milkshake on the house. "You know, because it is your birthday, Lucy. Maybe he's having a hard time finding something for you?"

Lucy quietly drank the milkshake while slowing taking in what Mira had said. 'Mira's probably right. No she's always right. Maybe Gray really is just having trouble finding something for me. Hmm I wonder what he's getting for me… A book? New clothes? Aw I can't wait!'

Finishing the drink with loud slurps, a smile came to her face. "Yes you're right Mira! He probably is just having a hard time." She gazed.

Seeing Lucy back to her cheerful self they returned the smile. "So what is this I hear about you guys throwing me a party at the park?" She asked curious.

"What? Who told you?" Mira asked.

"Natsu. Who else?" Lucy giggled. The others rolled their eyes.

"It was suppose to be a surprise." Lisanna huffed.

"Yes, it was. Where is Natsu anyways?" Erza tried asking innocently.

"Erza… Don't go killing the boy just because he spoiled the surprise. Its fine, Lucy was going to find out sooner or later." Mira reasoned with the Titania.

Erza sighed and sat down. "Fine."

"So… Are you going to tell me?" Lucy tried once more.

"Hmm? Oh yeah. Us girls planned it out the other day when you went home early. The guys helped with the preparations and other stuff. While we got the food ready and put up the final touches." Lisanna explained.

"Wow! So it's already done?" Lucy beamed. She hadn't had a birthday party and wanted to know what it was like so badly.

"No, not quite. Just final touches." Mira pondered.

They actually had finished it, well the preparations and decorations. Only left was the food and drinks. The cake was left for Erza to do.

"Erza!" Jellal called out from the door.

"Oh, Lucy. I have to go. I'll see you later." Erza waved and hurriedly went to Jellal. She smiled to him and laced hands with his.

Lucy smiled to the couple and turned back to Mira and Lisanna. "Where are they going?"

"Erza has the job of buying the cake. So she's going to pick it up." Lisanna answered.

"And maybe have some time to spend with Jellal…" Mira said happily.

The girls giggled.

ARVO~

Now that everything was all set for Lucy's party the only thing left was to get ready. Lucy still hadn't seen Gray around and was getting worried. Levy and Lisanna offered to pick up Lucy to take her to the party.

So as she was putting on her dress she couldn't help but get excited on the event. Lucy was wearing a plain, strapless turquoise dress, which wrapped around her body tightly. Her hair was up in a bun with a ribbon tying it up; some of her hair fell to the side of her face. Black heels that tied up her leg, with a black purse to finish it off.

It was now five thirty and Levy and Lisanna should be on their way. As if on cue Lucy heard a knock coming from her door. She took her purse in hand and went to answer it.

Opening the door she was greeted with her friends. Levy looked really pretty with her gold dress that went just below her knees and plain cream flats. The dress had cream ribbons connected to it and bows tied up at the bottom. She tied her up in a ponytail with a cream ribbon. A gold purse in hand.

Lisanna looked beautiful too. Her black and pink short dress really suited her. The dress was all pink then adding the black trimmings it looked really good. She had pink heels with a purse to go with it.

Lucy just stared at her friends they looked really great. "You guys look really good!" She just had to beam.

They giggled. "Well of course with have to look good at our best friend's birthday party!" Levy smiled. "Oh and Happy 18th Birthday!" Levy hugged her.

"Thanks Levy-chan!" Lucy returned the hug.

"Yeah, what she said." Lisanna laughed. "Happy Birthday Lucy!" She also got into a hug with Lucy.

"Shall we head off then?" Lucy asked excitedly, linking arms with them.

"We shall!" Levy shouted. They all giggled and headed to the park.

Already the party was cranked up with high music. The coloured lights hanged from tree to tree, with coloured streamers flying around. A massive banner saying 'HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY LUCY!' It hanged at the back so everyone saw it. Tables and chairs surrounded the sides with food and drinks covering the tables. A big table on the side overflowing with gifts for the birthday girl.

Everyone was there, already dancing to the loud music and eating the snacks, drinking the booze that was brought. All was left was for Lucy to get there.

The girls were dressed up formally with the beautiful silk dresses, of different sizes and styles. While the guys wore casual but suitable shirts and pants.

Gray was nervously pacing back and forth awaiting the arrival of Lucy. Mira, Erza, Freed and Jellal gave him annoyed glances.

"Gray! Would you mind calming down?" Jellal asked.

Gray stopped in his tracks to turn to Jellal then he went back to pacing. The others sighed.

Taking their gaze off the anxious Gray they looked around to see the others having a blast. Natsu and Happy were devouring most of the food, until a disgusted Erza glared at them to stop. So they went off to do something else in a hurry.

"Where is she? Where is she?" Gray quickly said. He stopped his pacing and looked up. Everyone had gone silent. The music muted and they all turned to see the spotlight on someone.

Gray pushed his way through and saw a glimpse of blonde hair. He quickly passed them at stopped. Standing in front of him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He was shocked when he heard everyone yell out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!"

She smiled at everyone, tears nearly forming from her eyes. She had never been to such a party. The music went back up again and the others turned to the dance floor.

Gray just gawked at the sight of her. She blushed when she saw him staring at her. "Hey Gray…" She walked closer to him. Breaking him out of his gaze.

He rubbed his neck in embarrassment. "Ah you… you look really beautiful."

Her cheeks already tinted with pink blush went darker. "Hmm thanks Gray." She kissed his cheek lingering it there for a bit before pulling back.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked giving out a hand.

Lucy stared at it then gently put her hands to his. "I would love to!" She giggled making Gray grin.

As they made their way to the dance floor the music changed to a slow pace. Gray grunted in disapproval, Lucy giggled at him. She took her hands to wrap around his neck. Gray wrapped his hands around her waist. They just gazed at each other as they slowly stepped to the slow rhythm of the music.

"Where were you today? I was worried sick you know. I haven't seen you all day." She frowned.

He chuckled. "Sorry Luce. I was… busy." He ended.

"Busy that you couldn't even wave a hello or say a happy birthday or anything else like that." She raised a brow.

His eyes slightly widen and then he sighed, putting his forehead against hers. "Sorry…" He said again. "I was preoccupied with stupid things." He rolled his eyes.

"Still Gray…" Lucy added. "I thought you were avoiding me, and on my birthday too."

"I know Luce. But hopefully you'll forgive me for the surprise I'm got you." He gave a hopeful smile and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Lucy eyes went curious. "I might…" She teased. "If it is good enough."

He went along with her. "Oh don't worry honey, it will be." An evil smirk playing across his lips.

Lucy bit her lip. She looked from side to side to hear the music had changed. It was now louder and was more freestyle than the one that was just on. She let out a laugh and slid down her hands from his neck to his hands.

Lucy twisted on the spot to the sound of the popping music. She looked to Gray who wasn't into the sound.

"Come on Gray! Loosen up!" She yelled.

He shook his head. "Please…" She asked.

Another shook. Lucy sighed and turned to walk away. Gray pulled her back into his arms with a twirl. She looked to Gray with a surprise expression. He twirled her some more and started dancing to the beat. Lucy laughed and joined in.

Now everyone was on the dance floor, dancing with someone. Erza and Jellal, Mira and Freed, Alzack and Bisca, Elfman and Evergreen, Natsu and Lisanna, and Levy and surprisingly Gajeel. Happy and Charle were flying around in the air. Cana danced with Macao and Lily just watched from a distance.

Who knew time really does fly when you're having a hell of a time. It came down to cutting the cake. Gajeel and Jellal carried the big cake to the centre of the table; as the others surrounded it. Lucy at the front with Gray beside her holding onto her hand.

Lucy took up the knife that had small ribbons tied on and put it above the cake. Slightly touching the base. "Oh wait!" Mira yelled. "We have to sing the song first."

They all slapped a hand to their foreheads, forgetting something like that, seriously. "1… 2… 3…" Mira counted.

"Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday Dear LUCY, Happy Birthday To You!" They all sang.

"Three cheers for Lucy!" Gray called out.

"Hip, hip HOORAY! Hip, hip HOORAY! Hip, hip HOORAY!" They cheered.

Lucy grinned. Making a wish first before blowing out all eighteen candles.

"Whatcha wish for?" Cana asked from the other side. Lucy just put a finger to her lips. Cana pouted. Lucy giggled.

"Cut the cake Luce!" Natsu licked his lips.

"Yes Lucy, I'm dying for some." Erza eyed the cake with lust.

Lucy nodded; slowly she sliced it touching the bottom. Abruptly someone had called out "Lucy if you touch the bottom you have to kiss the closest guy." Lucy looked to the cake once again and surely the knife was linked with the bottom platter.

"Lucy touched it! Lucy touched it!" Happy yelled like it was the end of the world. Charle huffed at him.

"Aw Lu-chan has to kiss the closest guy! Which is—" Levy started turning towards.

"Me?" Gray pointed out.

Whistles were heard and call outs were made. The couple blushed as they turned to each other.

'What the heck! Why am I getting all nervous all of a sudden? Its Lucy damn it! It's not like I haven't kissed her before.' Gray sweat dropped.

'So much people are watching… It'd be easier if it was only Gray and I. Well if everyone is expecting it, can't back down now.' Lucy gave a reassuring smile.

Everyone locked eyes as the couple edged closer to each other. Gray slowly brought his hands to her cheek. Lucy pulled a hand to his chest.

"Come on… Come on…" A woman with red hair kept whispering impatient.

'It feels colder than usual?' Lucy flashed a look to his chest.

"Eh! Gray! Where's your shirt!" Lucy shrieked.

"Hmm?" He looked down. "Oh shit! Where's my shirt?" He hurriedly went off to search it.

"Damn…" Mira murmured.

"Mira! Hurry and finish cutting the cake!" Erza roared.

The others did an anime fall. "That's why she was so impatient?" Freed asked.

"Of course, don't you know that she'll kill anyone who ruins her cake." Jellal put his hands on Erzas shoulders, with a small smile.

"No shit Sherlock." Gajeel stiffened at the memory.

The others gave out a laugh. Forgetting the kiss that was suppose to be done before cutting the cake.

"Here Lucy!" Mira gave the first piece to Lucy. She took it with delight. The cake was a strawberry sponge cake. It had white and pink icing, with cream. Strawberries neatly placed on the outside. Inside was oozing strawberry jam and more cream.

The sky was already covered with a dark blue. Only small shining stars were attached and the moon. It was a gorgeous sight.

'A full moon, on my birthday. How perfect!' Lucy smiled as she took a scoop from the cake. "Yum…"

Opening her eyes from the sensation of the cake she saw Gray outside the park. Curious of what he was doing there she went to him. Gray was staring at the full moon. Must been in thought because he didn't hear her walking up from behind.

"Gray? What's wrong?" She looked up with worried eyes.

"Huh? Oh Luce, sorry." He grinned. "How's the cake? Good?"

Lucy nodded in approval and scooped some and put it to his mouth. He stared to the cake near his mouth then back to Lucy. Shrugging he ate the cake off the spoon. His eyes locked on Lucy as he done it.

Lucy flushed. "It's good isn't it?" Taking another bite.

"Yeah, sure is." He smiled softly. "Come I have something to show you." Gray put the cake to the table.

He took her hands and guided her to a garden. The music lightly dancing around them, as they stood under the light of the moon.

"You… You might think this is really early and stuff but well…" Gray locked eyes with hers. "I love you so much and you know that I would do anything for you. So by doing this I can show you that I really would do anything. Lucy, I want you in my life, I want you to always be by my side, I want you to always be there waiting after a mission."

"Lucy, I want to always see your beautiful smile." Gray went down on one knee, taking out a small velvet box and held Lucy's left hand.

Lucy gasped, seeing what Gray was going to do next. Tears already fell from her chocolate eyes. He opened the box showing a diamond ring, etched inside said 'My Angel'.

"Lucy, will you marry me…" Gray breathed, smiling.

More tears fell from her face. "Gray… Gray, YES." She smiled.

Gray broke into more heart melting smiles and slid the ring into her ring finger. She let out a sobbing laugh. Gray got up and put a hand to her waist. Closing the gap between them. Lucy deepened the kiss, wrapping her hands around his neck.

They didn't realise that the others were hiding behind the bushes, knowing smiles across their lips. They had heard and saw the whole thing. Quietly getting up and leaving the two to some privacy, they went back to partying.

Lucy POV

So Mama there it is. July 1st I turned 18. Fairy Tail had set up one hell of a party. I enjoy being with them, I enjoy smiling with them. Mama this is now my family. I know that they will always be by my side.

I've never had so much fun. Turning 18 was the best feeling, you know why Mama; because I had Fairy Tail to celebrate it with.

I have the prince of my dreams who has proposed to me, I have all my friends in Fairy Tail, I have everything a girl could dream. Nothing beats this, nothing…

They gave me lots of gifts too- books, clothes and more. We partied til midnight; hopefully we didn't upset the townspeople. Who knew that Erza could get so drunk? Only a few mugs and she was already getting tipsy. Natsu had got knocked out as well. Later on you see everyone collapsed on the ground.

It was kind of funny. They'll all be surprised once the morning comes round, I'm sure of it. I didn't drink much so before me and Gray left the party I checked on the others, just to see if they were okay.

Well Mama yesterday I had such a blast! I'm still tired too, I woke up early because I wanted to write this for you.

Lots of love, your daughter

Lucy

Putting the letter aside I climbed back into bed. I put the comforter over my body and snuggled closer to the warmth.

"It really was good enough..." I whispered.

Hmm… I smiled, feeling strong arms wrapped around my torso. I wouldn't mind staying in bed all day…
