Natsu looked at Lucy carefully. She had on a nervous smile which was strange for her. Blush covered her face. She was hiding something, definitely.

"Luce. What are you hiding."

"Wh-What? I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Then why are you so flustered?"

"Levy whispered something to me yesterday, and it's coming back."

"Oh."

Natsu was kind of hurt. Today was his birthday, well the day he said he wanted it to be a few months prior. His own wife had forgotten. They arrived at the guild, and Lucy stood behind him, waiting for him to open the doors.

Inside, the guild was dark. Completely dark. Confused, he looked around. A sudden "SURPRISE" made him jump. Blush raided his cheeks, and everyone happily surrounded him. Mira held a cake, Makarov held a plate of fire chicken, and everyone else had presents. The guild lights switched on. Banners were strung, balloons everywhere, and a strong fire was burning in the middle of the guild. It was safely concealed to not burn any of the wood flooring or rest of the guild.

"Happy birthday Natsuuuu!"

"Uh... Guys... Wow. Just... Thank you..."

"Don't thank us, Natsu. Lucy was the one who planned everything out."

"Eh?"

The pinkette whipped around to the small blonde. She smiled up at him, happily.

"I thought you forgot about my birthday..."

"I'd never forget that, you dork!! You're too important to me. I love you too much!"

Natsu and Lucas were now at the library. Lucas was helping Levy and Gajeel, and Natsu was staring at a newspaper from a few years prior.

Lucy Dragneel, age twenty, has been pronounced dead by her beloved guild, Fairy Tail. The mage has been loved by many. Her husband, Natsu Dragneel, will raise their two twin children with his partner, Happy. The celestial mage we all know will never be forgotten.

He laughed. For once he could read those lines and giggle at them. The librarian who had been watching him looked at him, shocked.

"What?"

She shook her head and went back to work. He shrugged and found Lucas beside him.

"Hey Luke."

"You finally noticed me!"

"Yep. What do you need?"

"Nothing. Levy and Gajeel said for me to take a break!"

"Good!"

"What are you reading about??"

"Uh-"

"Ah! Lucyyyyyy!"

"Yeah."

"I guess it's really fulfilling to know she isn't gone. She'll be back soon, too!!"

"Yep! I will miss you though."

"Why?"

"Well. You're just like her, Lucas. I'll have my original Lucy back, but I'll lose the male version of her."

"Oh. Well, same with you and Natsumi, I guess. I don't know how I forgot that idiot..."

"Idiot?"

"Haha, yeah! She's my idiot, my baby, my babe, my wife, my everything. She's mah lady."

"Ew, corny. Yeah, you're definitely Lucy alright."

"Hey!!!"

Natsu laughed, and Lucas hit his chest playfully. The pinkette suddenly stopped laughing and glared at Lucas. He immediately went blank.

"RIP me."

"Precisely."

A kiss landed on his forehead, making the blank expression go to fluster.

"H-Hey! Jerk!!!"
