"We should get a real tree this year Natsu, not one of those tacky fake ones." Lucy pulled out the decoration box that her and her husband always kept in the cupboard under the stairs. "Why?" Natsu pulled out a red santa hat from the bow he was searching through and put it on his wife's head, his face confused. "Plastic trees are so much easier to put up! Besides, real ones make me sneeze." He screwed up his nose as he pulled more Christmas themed costumes out of the cupboard. Finding a pair of reindeer antlers, he put them on his head and grinned at Lucy. "How do I look, Luce?"

Lucy giggled and pulled her santa hat further onto her head. "Like a dork." She opened the decoration box. "We'll just use the fake one again." Pulling out a box of bright blue baubles, she looked at Natsu. "It's a shame Levy and Gajeel are going away for Christmas, I really wanted to have lunch with them this year. We could have Christmas lunch with Gray and Juvia," she cringed, "But that wouldn't be all that enjoyable for any of us. You and Gray would just fight." She put the baubles back with the other decorations.

Natsu nodded. "I wouldn't mind having Christmas with Gray and Juvia, but you have a point. How about we go to the guild?" Lucy's head shot up at this idea. "Could we?" She sounded ecstatic. "Oh, yeah! They're holding the Christmas party this year! They were going to host one last year but they couldn't because everyone decided to stay home with their families." She jumped up and grabbed Natsu's hands, squealing in excitement as she did so. "It's sorted then! We'll go to Fairy Tail for Christmas. Ah, I'm so excited!" Natsu watched Lucy in awe as her eyes crinkled in the corners, her eyes filled to the brim with elation. He was pumped too, of course.

"Awesome! It's a plan. Now let's go and put the tree up." He let go of Lucy's hands and picked up the box of decorations. Natsu then walked down their hallway and into his and Lucy's lounge. "Where should we put it? Same place as last year?" He looked around at their brightly coloured furniture. On the wall to his left was a big window, and on the cream paint underneath it sat a power socket. Lucy thought, her eyebrows furrowed. Finally she came to a conclusion. "Yeah, I like it there, by the window. It's convinient because it has a power socket for the Christmas lights. Let's put it there." She raced out and grabbed the tree that sat by the living room door, then proceeded to place it in it's designated position. "I really hope the Christmas lights aren't in a knot, there always a pain to undo." She pulled out a bundle of lights from the decoration box, her heart sinking as she looked at the mess of tangled wires and bulbs that lay in her hands.

"Damn, I don't have the energy to undo all of this," she looked over at her pink haired husband, "do you?" Natsu took the lights from her. "I'll give it a shot." He started pulling at the lights, and Lucy looked in dismay as the lights were yanked and tugged, watching as the multi coloured bulbs grew into an even tighter knot. "Natsu, stop. You're just tangling them even more. Here, I suppose I'll do it." She took the lights from his hands, then attempting to undo the knots. After a few minutes of detangling and a few muttered curse words, Lucy managed to get them undone. "Finally!" She sent Natsu a look of triumph. "Let's put them on."

They then proceeded to wrap the lights around the Christmas tree. After putting on all of the baubles, they stepped back and admired their work. The tree was finally up. They grinned at each other and high-fived. "We left it to the last minute and it's now two days before Christmas, but we have a tree!" Lucy looked at the tree, which was adorned with colours and flashing lights and laughed. "Christmas this year is going to be great, I can feel it."

Soon enough Christmas eve arrived and everything was in order. The house was decorated, and they had plans for the day. Everything was organized, which surprised Lucy. She was married to Natsu afterall.

On Christmas morning, Lucy opened her eyes slightly. She wasn't quite ready to get up yet, so she turned over and attempted to go to sleep for at least a few more minutes; to no prevail. As soon as she flipped onto her side, Natsu came rushing in, still fully clad in pyjamas. "Luce! Luce!" Lucy looked up to see his eyes alight with childish excitement.

"What time is it?" Said Lucy groggily as she sat up fully in bed. "What's gotten you so worked up? If Happy and Carla have come over with Wendy again, you need to calm down. They literally come visit everyday." Natsu kneeled down on his side of the bed and looked at her. "No, it's not them, Lucy! Look outside!" Lucy stood up and walked over to the curtains, then drew them back.

Her eyes widened as they were greated with blearing white. Snow. It was everywhere. Covering their frontyard and nesting in the trees. "It's snowing in Magnolia!" She turned back to Natsu who was still kneeling on the bed and grinned. "Let's go get ready to go to the guild. The party should be startng soon." Several minutes later the couple were dressed and out the door. Natsu in the clothing he always wore, and Lucy making the smart descision to wear a thick winter coat in attempt to beat the cold. Soon enough they arrived at the guild and pushed open the double doors, greated by a warm welcoming feeling as they stepped over the guild's threshhold.

"Lucy! Natsu!" Mira waved at them from the bar, a smile on her face. Lucy was surprised she still worked here. It had been two years since Natsu and Lucy had left the guild to start a life together; a lot of other guild members had left when they did to do the same thing. But Mira was still there, cleaning the tables and serving food. It made Lucy happy to see her, for the guild hall wouldn't be such a great place if it wasn't for Mirajane. What was even more surprising, though, surprising enough to even surprise Natsu, was that Master Makarov was perched on the bar next to her. Lucy was shocked. How old was he? It unnerved Natsu and Lucy to see that Gramps was still alive, but it made them happy, and they were glad to see him and Mira.

Natsu looked around the hall and saw Erza sitting at a table, strawberry cake infront of her. "Erza!" Natsu waved at her, grinning. The red head looked up, and although she saw the pair quite often, she was happy to see that Natsu and Lucy had come to the Christmas party this year. Natsu took Lucy by the hand and lead her over to where Erza was sitting. "Did you see Gray and Juvia on your way over?" She took a bite of her cake. "I walked over to their house the other day and asked them politely to attend." Erza's voice sounded innocent, but as Lucy watched her eat her cake, when she heard Erza say the words 'asked them politely', Lucy knew for certain that that wasn't what she meant, and that she'd probably threatened them a great deal. But that was Erza, who was still a part of the guild and aggresive as ever.

Just then, Juvia and Gray walked in hand in hand, followed by Wendy, Carla and Happy. All five of them then walked over to where Lucy, Natsu and Lucy sat, and found their own places around the table. Erza smiled at Gray. "I thought you wouldn't come for a second! I was starting to worry. I didn't want to have to ask you again." Gray smiled nervously. "No, we're here. Wouldn't miss it for the world, would we Gray-sama?" Juvia tilted her head, and Lucy could sense a little bit of truth in her words, although it was strained. Gray shook his head. "No, you were convincing enough Erza." He laughed. "I don't even mind seeing Pinky over here for once." He nodded towards Natsu who scowled at him. "Watch it, Stripper."

Lucy took Natsu's hand and shot him a look of warning. Natsu wasn't too pleased, but the tension in his shoulders went slack. He wouldn't let Mr. I Like To Remove My Pants Extremely Often ruin his Christmas with his friends.

"Listen, brats!" Makarov shouted across the guild. "I know we usually play this at the flower viewing party, but this year I've decided we're going to play Bingo!" Shouts rose amongst the guild members, and Natsu saw Elfman jump up, his fists in the air. "Bingo is manly!" Lucy looked at Erza, who was cackling silently, and her eyes held a muderous light to them. "This is great news!" She said menacingly, as Wendy lent away from the table. "Uh, Miss. Erza? Are you ok?" Erza ruffled the bluenette's hair. "Of course I am!" Although those were the words Erza said, her eyes told a completley different story and it scared not only Wendy, but everyone at the table.

"The prize is two Akane Resort tickets!" Makarov announced as Natsu laughed with glee.

"I swear he's just run out of prize ideas so he keeps using those as prizes. At least they're not rotten herbs, right?" Lucy couldn't agree more. She looked at Natsu and nodded. "This could get scary." This time it was Natsu's turn to agree. He looked at Erza and shook his head, grinning. "This is going to be awesome! I'm fired up!" He laughed and Lucy sighed, then proceeding to grab a bingo card for the both of them to share. She still had presents wrapped and ready to give her friends, but those could wait until later. Right now she had to get her game face on, and she was happy.

Best. Christmas. Ever.
