S.R: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's time for chapter 7!

Wendy: YAY!

Natsu: What's so special about chapter 7?

Erza: Natsu how could you forget? *evil aura floats around Erza*

Natsu: I'm dumb. What else could be the reason?

S.R: Erza relax. We can't have you killing Natsu. Besides Wendy is right here you don't want to kill Natsu in front of her do you?

Erza: Fine… But Natsu will be punished later.

S.R: Not a problem. Can I start the story now?

Erza: I think yes.

LAST TIME (IN NATSU'S POV)

"I don't know what is in that box, but I'm guessing it is something Igneel gave you and told you to use when the time was right." Gramps said as he patted me on the shoulder. I nodded, before walking up to Erza. "Erza I," started as I fell to one knee before continuing "I know we haven't really been together in the sense of dating for long but we've known each other most of our lives, and I know I love you. Inside this box is something Igneel gave me saying that is not for me but the one I decide to spend the rest of my life with… I've decided that someone is you, so Erza would you marry me?" I opened the box and saw Erza's eyes tear up as her hands covered her mouth. It looked like she didn't trust herself to speak as she wrapped her arms around me and nodded her head so fast she could've been a bobble head. I took the ring that was in it and placed it on her finger, as I did so she recovered enough to say yes. However she said it so loud and so many times that I was afraid of going deaf by the time she was done.

THIS TIME (IN NATSU'S POV)

It's been a week since I proposed to Erza. We haven't left each other's side since she said yes. But I needed to change that. Erza has a nice engagement ring but I want to make her the best wedding ring I could. I just needed to wait for her to wake up. I hadn't been waiting long when she finally woke up. "Morning, my soon to be husband" she whispered to me. I responded in kind before asking Erza if it was okay for me to start my preparations for the wedding and if I left her side for some of them. She pouted for a few minutes before telling me not to do anything stupid. I kissed her, before getting out of bed, getting dressed, and leaving for the guild.

I had just walked through the door when Mira asked me why Erza wasn't with me. I quickly explained that there were a few things I wanted to do for our wedding that required us being separated. She nodded and left me alone to continue what I was doing. "Hey Gray, Gajeel I was wondering if you two would be the best men?" I asked the two as I approached were they were sitting. They both said sure, not a problem. "Oh, Gajeel do you know where I can find some white silver?" I asked as I remembered what I wanted to do for Erza's wedding ring. He asked why and I told him and Gray I wanted to personally make Erza's wedding ring, and the materials I wanted to use. Gajeel explained he knew where a vein of white silver was, and then they both offered to help me mine it and refine it to be used. "Hey Mira, Gajeel's taking Gray and I to do some of the things I need to do to prepare for the wedding. If Erza comes by can you let her know it may be a while before we get back?" I called to Mira as we stood up to leave. She nodded and said she would.

A FEW HOURS LATER (READ LIKE THE NARRATOR IN SPONGEBOB)

"You weren't kidding when you said it was quite the hike to find it Gajeel." Gray said as we stopped just a few yards away from the huge vein of silver Gajeel told us about. Gajeel just laughed and approached the silver vein. As he did he activated his Iron Dragon's Sword spell and used his arm, transformed into a sword to cut the vein. Eventually we had a chunk large enough for gray and I to work our magic on. After a couple hours Gray and I had refined enough of the white silver to be forged into a ring. "Thank you, guys. Now all I have to do is grab the flame ruby Igneel gave me and I'll have everything I need to make Erza's wedding ring." I said before they both clapped me on the back and told me it was no big deal. As we began the hike back to town I realized that the three of us were the best of friends.

AGAIN A FEW HOURS LATER (SAME THING AS THE LAST SET OF PARENTHESIS)

"Again, thanks guys…. Oh even though Erza and I are a tough team, do you guys want to join us? Neither one of you is a member of Fairy Tail's S class but if you join us you can go on S class missions." I asked slash offered as thanks for their help. They both said sure why not, and then asked if they could invite someone to join as well. I said I don't mind, as we walked into the guild. "Natsu!" we heard before I was glompped by my red-headed fiancé. I hugged Erza back before we let go. She then asked where we went and why. I refused to tell her, even when she broke out her adorable pouting face. "Erza all I'm going to tell you is that they were helping me with preparations for our wedding." I told her when she asked if I could at least give her a hint.

We spent the rest of the day following our normal routine. That is hanging out in the guild hall, leaving to go home, have some kind of fun (not always sexual fun though), and going to bed. The next morning I got up and left our room for the kitchen. Knowing Erza she'll be a little mad at me about yesterday and I still had plans for today so I decided to make her breakfast in bed. My plan to please Erza worked like a charm. Now to see if it worked enough to get me the time I needed to finish my preparations. "Hey Erza, I have to go out for a bit and finish up what Gray and Gajeel were helping me with. Can I meet you at the guild like I did yesterday?" She waited a moment before replying "I don't want to, but I guess I can. Besides we do need to start preparing, because Master Makarov told me he changed the date because it conflicted with a guild master meeting. You go finish up what you need to and then take whoever you chose to be the best men and get some tuxedos. But I want you at the guild by 5 o'clock sharp, so we can plan with master." I nodded as I gave her an 'Aye sir!' response.

I then left the house and went to the nearest blacksmith in town. Entering the shop I approached the back, were the owner was currently tempering a sword that seemed familiar to me. "Excuse me sir, but do you mind if I use your forge to do some work of my own? I'll pay you whatever you want." I asked as he looked up at me. "Why would you do the work when I could do it for you?" was his comment. "Because it's for something special. I want to personally make my fiancé's wedding ring. I have all the materials I need to do it I just need the equipment." I replied, only for him to ask if my name was Natsu. I nodded yes and he told he'd let me make the ring free of charge saying "I've heard a lot about you from Erza, and she's my best costumer. If you're marrying her then the least I can do is let you forge the ring my best and most favorite costumer will be wearing. Oh and don't worry about her finding out. I was doing some repair work on a few of her swords and she might be by to pick them up later. I'll make sure she doesn't come back here." With that said he picked up the sword and a few others that he had placed off to the side and moved back to the front of the shop.

I quickly forged the white silver into a ring shape and let it cool. Once I was done with that I engraved the words 'Erza you are the knight that has tamed my love, may I forever serve as your guardian dragon - Natsu'. I then pulled out the glowing ruby that was given to me by Igneel and grinded it into a small gem that would fit in hole I had carved for it on Erza's ring. Placing it in the ring I tempered the metal in the fire so it would soft enough to be pinched around the ruby so it would not fall out of the ring. I then put the ring in the water to completely cool it down from its heated state. After making sure it was flawless I glanced up at the clock and noticed I had half an hour to meet Erza at the guild like she demanded. After thanking the blacksmith for letting me use his forge, I made my way to the guild hall, walking in with a full minute left before Erza's deadline she gave me. I smiled at her as I walked up to the master and handed him the ring as I whispered "I just made that wedding ring for Erza. Can you keep track of it until the wedding?" He nodded and I thanked him before joining Erza at our usual table.


S.R: I was planning on having the wedding in this chapter but without realizing it I saved it as a separate document from this and that document is giving me issues. So instead of not uploading because of break being over I decided to give you guys one more chapter with what I have. More will come eventually (as will the other story I promised if I made enough progress with this one) but for now this is the last update from me for a bit. As always read, review, and do whatever else it is that you do.
