Chapter 10: After a year of not seeing
Epilogue: What is in the present?
Author: Rei Akira-Chan
In her apartment, Lucy was sitting in front of her desk. And when she does, we all know what she'll do: write to her mother. She grabbed a pen and paper, started to write a message for her mother. Though she's deceased, Lucy still hoped that her mother can read it.
To my Mother,
Hey mom, I've got great news! Grey and I are engaged! Isn't it great, nice or other synonyms of those?
Natsu's moving on and found Lisanna. They make a cute couple you know… Everything is not normal, I like it except for Erza being always sad, she's trying to find Jellal, when she has the time that is. She's been asking Mystogan if he knows something, but he always put her to sleep. I just wish she finds a way to forget about what happened a few months ago. You know, about her, being defeated by a fake Jellal. Poor Erza… Anyway, Grey and I are getting married six months from now. But he's quite busy; he's always the one Erza drags around for missions since Natsu's always with Lisanna on dates. Then next week, he's going on another S-Class mission with her. No, Natsu don't get jealous when Grey goes on an S-Class mission anymore, because of Lisanna. He's changed, a bit. He doesn't quarrel with Grey anymore; they're now good friends.
And by the way, I got a new spirit! Her name is Libra, and she tells me she hasn't been summoned by humans in more than 100 years! Loki, Aquarius and Scorpio are her only companions in those years. She only met Aries, fifty years ago. Libra is helping me train to release two spirits at a time. Isn't that great?
Now I'm going to become a great Celestial Spirit Mage just like you! Or maybe better?
"Lucy! Lucy!" someone was calling her.
She looked down the window and there she saw Loki.
"How long have you been out?" she yelled from the window.
"Not long. Anyway, it's time for training. Libra will slice my throat if you don't come with me right now!"
"Yes, yes! I'll be down there in five minutes!"
She sat back in front of her desk and continued to write.
They're already calling me for training. I just told Loki that I'll be on training ground on five minutes.
Oh mom, how I wish you are seeing how happy I am!
Love,
Your Little Lucy
She folds the royal blue piece of paper and into a same colored envelope. As she opened the drawer where she kept the box full of letters, Loki called her.
"Lucy, five minutes is almost over!"
"Yeah, I'm coming…"
She placed the letter inside the box, hurriedly closed the drawer and ran through the door.
"Let's go Loki!"
"You deserve to be happy, My Little Lucy…"
Lucy didn't know that her mother came back to Earth land to visit her. Her mother couldn't be detected by the five senses because she was in spirit form. She saw who Lucy was writing a letter for, a letter for her.
She opened the drawer, took the lid of the box and its contents. She read every letter in the box, by the time it was written. She read the recently written letter last.
No tears of joy came out of her eyes for she was a spirit. So Layla decided to write back to her beloved daughter, to let her know what she thinks about the written letter.
THE LETTER
My dearest Lucy,
Lucky for you, you've got almost all the good stuff in your life. You won't believe how happy I am for you! You wrote me a lot of letters! I am glad that you are contented and happy with your life; I wish it could've been the same with me and your father. He's a miserable man at present, and he thinks he's going to lose his daughter to some commoners in Fairy Tail. But he's wrong. I think that you've got great friends and a charming lover.
I have always wanted to meet Libra and fight side by side with her. I almost envy you, my dear daughter that you could do better than I did. But you deserve to be happy, My Little Lucy…
I Love You…
From your mother,
Layla H.
Lucy cried when she read this that Grey got worried that he might have done something wrong. She told him about the letter and he replied.
"Your mother has beautiful hand writing… I am happy that your mother is happy for you, for us! But I think you shouldn't reply to it…"
"Why not?" She asked, sad and shocked.
"Well, we have our own lives now, and she just wrote you to tell you that she's happy and proud, not to be your pen pal for the rest of your life!"
"You're right Grey…" She nodded and just whispered: "Thank you mother…"
After they got married, they stayed somewhere far away from the guild, in a mission. It lasted for 2 months and when they came back, everybody welcomed them warmly.
