Sorry this is so late!

But I've made a decision, and now all updates for this fic are on SUNDAY!

Yup, there's no way I can write a chapter for every other day when finals are only a week away.

I hope you see why I had to do this!

Also, I was gonna make a fake chapter for April Fool's, but I realized that this chapter was already as late as it was and that I didn't have enough time.

That morning wasn't pleasant for Lucy.

"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!" Someone screamed in her ear while violently shaking her.

"OH MY - " Lucy shrieked as she practically jumped off her bed in shock.

Levy and Juvia, both incredibly satisfied, grinned at her widely.

"Lucy-san, how could you be so forgetful?" Juvia sighed dramatically.

"What?" Lucy asked, her brows furrowing.

Levy sighed and rolled her eyes. "IT'S YOUR WEDDING DUMBASS!"

"Stop yelling!" Lucy groaned, before her eyes trailed over to the bed across the room. "Wait, where's Natsu?"

"Gray and Gajeel woke him up first," Levy said.

"Why?"

"Natsu-san will take forever to dress." Juvia 'hmph'ed rather bluntly.

"I-I see your point," Lucy sweatdropped.

She didn't have a chance to say anything else as suddenly two pairs of arms shot out.

"W-Wait! STOOOOP!" Lucy screamed in fright as she was literally dragged away.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Lucy was amazed when finally, finally! Levy and Juvia let her look in the mirror.

Was that... Really her?

Blond locks were curled expertly and twisted into a bun on the left side of her head with several loose strands coming down. Several golden curls framed her glowing face, and only emphasized the silver makeup applied to make her eyes pop. Blush was added lightly so it wasn't too much on her pale cheeks, and light, cherry blossom lipstick was applied.

A flowing veil pinned into her hair by a silver clip decorated with pink roses obscured her vision slightly, but not by much. The dress was perfectly fit for her, hugging her curves gently but not too much so she couldn't breath. The roses and ribbon Evergreen had mentioned were at her hips, going along with Levy's 'pink and yellow' theme.

"Why am I so..." Lucy whispered. "Beautiful?"

"Silly Lucy-san," Juvia immediately said.

"You were always beautiful," Levy hummed.

Lucy's emotions welled up in her throat, and she choked back a sob.

"I-I never knew that I c-could..."

"Lucy-san, don't cry!"

"Your mascara!"

Natsu was sweating like hell.

The suit had nothing to do with it. It was nice, a black uniform with a golden tie and a single pink rose tucked into the pocket at the right side of his chest.

No, it was because 'holy shit there are a lot of people why isn't the wedding starting shouldn't it be starting? Oh god oh god when is Luce coming out I just want to eat the fooooood' - was what Natsu's fast train of thoughts were going.

"Relax," Gray sighed from beside him. Although, he had to admit, it was hella awkward.

The wedding was set in the backyard garden, and over two hundred people were attending. Other royal families from nearby kingdoms, random people that had managed to sneak in, and the entire castle staff.

"Why isn't the music starting?" Natsu whimpered.

"The wedding starts at five, stupid." Gray hissed back, tugging at his tie awkwardly. It was hard for him to stop his stripping habit.

"Are you sure?" Natsu groaned. "This is taking forever!"

"Shut the fuck up and sit still dumbass!"

Natsu glared at him, wondering why the hell he made the stripper his best man.

"It's starting!" Gray hissed.

He was right - the soft music of 'Midnight Kiss' started, the pianist and violinist duo made of Evergreen on the violin and a guy named Max on the piano.

Shortly after the first few notes were played, the groomsmen and bridesmaids came out, all paired up.

Levy and Gajeel were first, then Juvia and Droy, Erza with a childhood friend of Natsu's; Jellal, Kinana and Jet, Aries and Loke, and finally Bisca and Alzack.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen split as they reached the alter, the guys going to Natsu's side while the maids walked over to where Lucy would stand.

There was also no maid of honor, mostly because Levy and Juvia had almost ripped each other's hair out when they fought over the spot.

The ring bearer walks in next, a grinning Romeo holding a purple pillow with two glittering rings on it. He stood beside the groomsmen.

Next was the flower girl.

The whole garden was filled with soft gasps as a wheelchair wheeled in. It held a small, blue-haired girl who had many bandages wrapped around her, and wore a large sunhat to keep the light out of her eyes. The one pushing was a young woman with white pixie hair, who Natsu recognized as Wendy's nurse, Yukino.

Wendy smiled brokenly, but her brown eyes were proud as she weakly tossed pink rose petals down the aisle.

"You did great," Natsu whispered to her as Yukino pushed her to the alter and under the wedding arch.

Wendy smiled. "Please make Lucy-nee happy, Natsu-san."

As she was wheeled away to beside the bridesmaids, Gray whispered to Natsu, "Dude, that was Lucy's sister? Holy shit, she's more beat up than I thought she was!"

"Yeah, she..." Natsu's sentence trailed off as he stared with wide eyes.

Igneel was proudly walking down the aisle, and hanging from his arm was Lucy.

Natsu wasn't one for mushiness, but the only thing that he could think at the moment was 'beautiful'.

Gray whistled lowly from beside him. "Damn."

Natsu's eye twitched in irritation and jabbed Gray in the ribs. "Get your own wife!"

The walking pair reached the alter, and after Igneel whispered something to Lucy, he gave her a brief hug before going to sit in his seat at the front row.

Unknowingly, the two members of the soon-to-be-married-couple took in a deep breath at the same time, before fully turning to face each other.

Natsu's hands were unusually sweaty as he stared at her brown eyes beneath the veil, and Lucy was pretty sure that the blush on her cheeks weren't from the makeup.

"Dear beloved," Jellal started from his position behind the two people. Since Natsu only wanted people he were close to to be involved in the wedding, he made Jellal the priest as well. "We are all gathered here today to see the union of a man and a woman..."

The rest of the monologue was drowned out of Natsu's ears, the same for Lucy.

"You look nice," Lucy whispered quietly so no one heard.

"Um, yeah," he choked, his tan cheeks going an unusual pink. "You do too."

"Thanks," she blushed.

"So, uhh, what's up?"

"The sky," she whispered.

Natsu chuckled quietly at her smartass answer, and seeing him laugh made her giggle as well.

"... ings. Natsu. The rings!"

Jellal's slightly impatient voice brought them both out of their trance.

The crowd laughed softly as the prince nearly jumped in embarrassment.

"R-Right!" Natsu sputtered, clumsily swiping the rings from Romeo and almost dropping one. "Shit!"

"Language!" Someone yelled from the crowd, causing more laughter.

Entirely red now, Natsu faced Lucy once more, handing her his ring.

"Do you, Natsu Flame Dragneel take Lucy Star Heartfilia as your wife and love and comfort her in sickness, in health, as long as you both shall live?" Jellal asked.

"I do," Natsu said proudly, lifting her hand and slipping on the ring.

"And do you, Lucy Star Heartfilia take Natsu Flame Dragneel as your husband and love and comfort him in sickness, in health, as long as you both shall live?"

"I do," she said, reaching for his hand and slipping on his ring. A perfect fit.

Jellal grinned softly. "Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Lucy suddenly broke into sweat. Wait. Kiss? She didn't remember anything about having to -

There was a soft whoosh as her veil was lifted, and before she could comprehend anything, a soft and slightly chapped pair of lips connected with her own.

Her brown eyes were wide, not even reacting as the crowd cheered wildly and some were even sobbing.

'Natsu's... kissing me?'

Once he pulled away, he grinned at her, cheeks red.

She softened.

It may have been her first kiss, and it may not have been with her love, but with Natsu, it was okay.

"Let's go eat cake, Luce!"

"Sure!"

Everything was okay.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Phew! Got that done.

And now...

Hehehe.

School.

NYAHAHAHA!
