~ ՕoOoOoOoOo ~

Lucy felt like every fiber of her being was vibrating with anticipation. Adrenaline was coursing through her veins. Her hands trembled and her eyes were wide. 'This is what a cat must feel like waiting to pounce on a mouse,' she thought. Here she was, walking to school in pure excitement. A couple of weeks have passed and lately, she has been staying after school with her main group studying magic and taking notes, reading, and reading. She read so much she became a bookworm which Natsu mocked her about as well as Gray.

"Hey, Luce!" Lisanna screamed as she waved to Lucy. Lucy began running to Lisanna and they embraced each other.

"Lucy can't you believe it?!"

"Huh?"

"School is going to be over soon and it's on to 4th grade!"

"Oh…you still will be here right?" Lucy asked her voice overflowing with sadness making Lisanna want to cry.

"Let's make a promise, but we have to wait for Natsu and Gray!"

"Talking behind our backs?!" Gray said as he approached them, Natsu beside him.

"Just in time!" Lisanna shouted.

"We will always remain together and we could never separate, promise?" Lisanna asked.

"Promise!" everyone shouted.

~ ՕoOoOoOoOo ~

It's been a while now. It became a normal thing for Natsu to start breaking into Lucy's house at the most randomness times. Half the time he came jumping down from a window or Lucy's window. Rose and the others instantly made a buffet of food JUST for Natsu. Plus, he hogs the bed and pushes her on the floor and Rose just sighs when she sees them in the morning.

Lucy sweat dropped as she thought about what happened a couple weeks ago.

"LUCE IM HERE!" Natsu screamed causing all the maids to scream or freak out, however, they eventually got used to it.

"Natsu do you know what time it is! ITS 4AM IN THE MORNING YOU IDIOT!" Lucy screamed.

Jude stayed locked in his office for a while, he was having trouble focusing on work. He attempted to talk to him again. Jude's sigh was of a softly deflating; it was as if a tension had lifted yet left him with a melancholy instead of relief. He gave up and all he could think about was their conversations that left him speechless and amazed at how much this boy cared.

"You know Natsu, your welcome to come here anytime!"

"Don't have to tell me a second time."

Hey! Natsu, how's Lucy hanging on?"

"Like you care!?"

"Natsu I know you, don't like me but please just make sure she's safe, I can't afford to lose her like Layla, her mother."

Natsu's shoulders slumped and his stern look softened.

"I care for MY friends more than anything and anyone. I'm not trying to ignore you, but when you realize how much she was in pain…no still IS, then I'll consider talking to you, but let's get one thing straight! I could care less who you are, what you do, and how rich YOU are, I will never FORGIVE you for hurting one of MY friends, nor will the rest of us. Luce will never be in harm like that, ever again, she has her friends that consider her FAMILY. Maybe you should start considering your daughter, family. I see it in her eyes. She craves it, craves the bond. Trust me, I don't have a dad but when I did I could care less about everything around me. My dad was the only treasure I had, but he left. I suffered for years trying to find him, and here we are in 8th grade, I'm still suffering and so is she. Let me remind you something Mr. Heartfilia, every night that girl that's precious to me cries herself to sleep, puts fake smiles on her face, and forgets about herself. Yea, it's awesome that she puts others before her, but I will never allow her to forget about herself! So if I were you, I would take a good look around and find that person that stands out the most…"

Natsu was right. It's been 6 years, however, they passed so fast to him. She was older now, and he accepted it, but he knew he would never be able to apologize to her, he did too many wrong things in his life…

~ ՕoOoOoOoOo ~

That night, both gazed up above at the stars, they seemed so happy tonight.

"Natsu when will our promises come true?"

"We just have to be patient"

"Natsu?"

"Yea?"

"You know how we made a promise that we will always be together?"

"Mhmm…"

"Well uh, what if someone breaks it?"

"That won't happen Luce, so I'm not worried, right?"

"O-of course…"

She couldn't help but worry and get this feeling like she couldn't keep this promise, so, for now, she stayed quiet. Lucy looked at Natsu.

He hasn't changed at all and was a friend who treated everyone the same. His rosy pink hair naturally spiked up. Lucy watched as the wind gently blew his bangs before letting them remain still. His scarf that reminded her so much of scales never left his neck.

"Something up?" Natsu asked still gazing up.

"U-uh no sorry, you just really haven't changed at all…"

"Neither have you Luce, but that's good…"

Lucy felt her heart throb.

"Natsu, you never showed me what magic you use?!" Lucy said, suddenly sitting up.

"Well uh, it's dragon slayer magic…"

Her eyes widened as a flame appeared on his finger. The flame leapt around in the air not allowing the gentle wind to burn it out. Instead of reaching hungrily for anything that it can consume to fuel its wrath, it stayed still under Natsu's control. After a while, the flame no longer was there, instead, fire wrapped around his fists. She could feel him staring at her. He wasn't interested in the magic at all just of what she thought. They didn't even need fuel; it was Natsu.

It was magic.

The fire crackled and popped. Each scarlet flame radiated heat. Lucy drew closer to him, feeling the wonderful heat on parts of her body. It was the perfect night to curl up and read a book, but it was a school night and Natsu was here. The frigid cold of the wind couldn't withstand the heat around them, so it seemed to vanish. The air was clean and warm, making Lucy's nose twitch with delight. She inhaled sharply before letting out a sneeze. Her eyes fluttered open. 'I wonder what Natsu thinks about his magic.' The flames began to slowly die out and the shadows and silhouettes of objects around them vanished. Lucy smiled and still looked at his hands that were covered with fire, it was amazing. He couldn't help but continue to watch her in awe and watch her expressions of her face change.

"I would like to see you try now," he said before regretting saying that knowing memories would come back to her.

"Hehe Ok!"

Her response made his body freeze and he watched with complete shock as she stood up, closing her eyes having confidence. She shuffled around in her pocket and pulled out a key. Lucy took a glance and closed her eyes before opening them again. For some reason, whenever she attempted to summon this key, it made her body exhausted.

Confidence.

You have friends that are like family.

You have people in your life who love you!

You have your dad that you know is suffering from things too!

You have support and Natsu.

What else could you want!? Lucy told herself over and over before taking a deep breath.

She could feel it, feel the air and the sky above her become gloomy. That's why she didn't bother to put this key away. The rain fell softly as if it knew of the hardships both behind and ahead. Each droplet alighted on her skin with just enough coolness to command her mind to the present, to pull her away from the pain of the past and the uncertainty of what was to come. The beads over her face, harsher than before, joined to wash over her in a delicate cascade of trickles. She raised her eyes to the grey layer that touched every hilltop, there was more to come before the skies cleared, of that she could be sure. She stood there for a moment under the gloomy clouds. Then water began to sprinkle, cold and wet on her skin. Drops of water trickled down her body as she stood there frozen, Lucy's gaze fixed on the golden key as well as the view around her, staring at the beauty of droplets of crystal beads.

"Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee! Aquarius" Lucy commanded as she thrusted her key in front of golden light was blinding, but Natsu didn't want to miss one moment of her magic. Lucy's legs began to shake, she still wasn't strong enough but whatever she was thinking of, caused her to push through and succeed.

Natsu squinted his eyes, but as soon as the light disappeared and left the figure stood in front of them, glaring at Lucy. At first, it had appeared to be a mane of golden hair that was actually a nice baby blue. Also, she had shimmering blue scales. Her long tail hovered above the ground as she carried a vase. Salty tears rolled over Lucy's round cheeks. Sniffing, she wiped them away, trying to stay strong and not fall apart then and there. There's no time to cry, she told herself.

"Aquarius it's been a while…" Lucy said fighting the urge to hug the beautiful mermaid spirit.

"You summoned me that's surprising, you see I'm kind of busy so would ya hurry up and tell me what ya need so I can wash you away?" Aquarius demanded. Natsu watched with total awe.

Luce actually did it!?

My Luce did it!

I knew she could do it! Natsu thought as he allowed a smile to form on his lips.

"Who's that your boyfriend?! No, it's too good to be true I don't believe it!" Aquarius screamed as she hovered over to where Natsu was sitting.

"Yo! I'm Natsu, Lucy's best friend."

"HAHA, I knew it was too good to be true! Anyways I have a date to attend to so thanks for wasting my time…" She turned around but took a quick glance over to Lucy.

"Oh and Lucy?"

"Yea!?" Lucy asked with an excited tone.

"DON'T SUMMON ME FOR NO REASON!" Aquarius screamed as she brought her vase over her head before swinging it down with all her might. The flood of water shooting out of her vase was no longer just water. It was a twisted vile shape that almost tore down the roof, and tore Lucy's clothes. The icy teeth of the water bit away at her unprotected ankles that were submerged in its horrid glory. To say it was human would be horrific and most of all wrong. It was a beast something with no care at all. Something so demonic its surface seemed not to shimmer like the deep oceans but ooze into a dark core, torn to shreds by itself. Luckily, Lucy was alive, and Lucy felt her body flying into Natsu's. They both were pushed back and felt like the water was cutting away at their skin. The water began to rise and rise and Aquarius glared through the murky water spilling out of her vase. Lucy couldn't breathe what so ever, she looked at Natsu who was clenching onto her shoulders as they both were holding their breaths in the big pool of water that only surrounded them. At least, Aquarius thought and didn't let it leak onto other houses.

Lucy felt her clothes rip and become thinner and her face grew hot, thank goodness Natsu was too clueless to even know what was happening. He allowed them to sink to the roof before bouncing off with all his strength and might. She saw the starry sky above them become closer and closer until they were out of the orb of water. Natsu and Lucy gasped for air, allowing their lungs to capture as much oxygen that it could uphold.

Natsu couldn't help but collapse onto the roof and drift into a sleep. That water was deadly and he felt a wave of exhaustion sweep over him even though nothing happened to him.

Gosh…when Lucy flew into me, I felt like iron crashed against me! Natsu thought.

"Lucy your too heavy…" were Natsu's last words before he passed out. Lucy couldn't focus. Her eyes stung and her clothes tightly hugged her body. She glared at Aquarius but laughed. Aquarius had an amused expression on her face and she let out a chuckle feeling better already.

"Hurry up and get stronger brat! The other spirits miss you…" Aquarius said before disappearing allowing the water to disperse until it dried out.

Lucy felt happy, not only because she summoned her only friend she had as a kid, but because she got to see her. Lucy stood up, soaking wet, shivering, and exhausted. If it really tired her that much just to summon Aquarius, she HAD to get stronger no matter what. She looked at Natsu who was peacefully sleeping and she approached him.

"Now what was that about me being heavy?!"

When her only response from him was snores and heavy obnoxious breathing she moaned with annoyance.

"Maybe Gray and I will have to team up one day," Lucy said as she went to her room, changed, and brought a blanket with her back to the roof. She laid it over Natsu and sat down next to him.

"If I don't wake up in the morning because I'm tired you're gonna pay…Natsy…" she said, knowing she was the only one hearing her own complaints and insults.

He was so calmed and relaxed, but cold. However, when he felt her presence and the warm blanket fall over him he felt even more relaxed. He couldn't help but bury his face in his scarf so he didn't burst out laughing at her so called 'insults.' If she really believed that was an insult, he would seriously need to teach her a couple things.
