The trio woke up earlier than they expected, each with their own reason.
Loke woke up at 8AM, wanting to get fresh and ready for the girls he may meet today.
Yukino woke up at 7AM because she wanted to look good for Sting since this is their first outgoing together.
And Lucy, well, she had a dream.
Lucy dreamed of her mother, she saw her face, touched her hand, heard her laugh, smelled her perfume and tasted her delicious cupcakes.
In the dream, Lucy's mother told her to stop being afraid. She told her that it will hurt but it will pass. She told her to love with her whole heart and not fear love. She told her all the things Lucy didn't want to hear.
It's hard hearing the truth, it always is.
Lucy woke up at 5AM, feeling to shaken up to be able to fall back asleep.
And so, for the next 3 hours, Lucy sat on her Xbox, typing away her feels to the one person she didn't care if she opened up to.
"He doesn't know who I am anyways" she told herself as she wrote away whatever her heart had in it.
At 8AM Lucy decided to go take a long bubble bath after lifting all the things that were on her mind away.
She soaked for an hour until Yukino called her to come for breakfast. She quickly changed and ran towards the delicious smell.
"Good morning to you all!" Lucy said with a big smile.
"Good morning, you in a good mood I see" Yukino replied smiling at the very relaxed looking blonde.
"Morning" Loke mumbled as he sipped his second cup of coffee for the day, not paying any attention to the girls yet.
"Something happen?" Yukino asked as Lucy sat down with Virgo after their little fight.
"Not really, got to wake up early enough and relieved some stress" Lucy replied shrugging.
Yukino shrugged back and they continued to eat until it was time to go pick everyone up.
As they got in the limo, Loke had finished his third cup of coffee and was smiling nonstop at the girls.
"Good mood?" Lucy asked the happy boy sitting in front of her.
"Just happy for no reason really" Loke replied smiling even more.
"It's the coffee talking" Yukino whispered to Lucy.
"Didn't think otherwise" Lucy agreed.
On the first stop, the trio picked up Erza, Jellal, Cana, Bacchus, Sting and Rouge since they all lived really close to each other.
"Good morning everyone!" Lucy cheered as they all went in.
"Wow, good morning Lucy" Erza replied with wide eyes at the very happy looking girl.
"Good morning baby girl, something happened that you are so happy?" Jellal asked.
After a few more 'good mornings', Lucy just smiling and said with a real sinister smile "I remember mom"
They all went quiet, barely noticing the other half of the group joining the limo and the next 2 stops.
"No good morning? Wow" Natsu said as he claimed in and noticed the tense silence.
"What do you mean Lucy" Jellal said with wide eyes, finally out of his trance thanks to Natsu.
"I mean, I had a dream about mom last night and I remember her now" Lucy said with the same sinister smile a before.
"Is that why you looked relaxed and happy at breakfast?" Yukino asked carefully.
"Yeah, she talked to me and baked for me and made me get my thoughts straight" Lucy replied looking at her hands.
No one could speak, Natsu was in full shock.
"S-so, You a-actually rem-membered?" Jellal stammered with tears in his eyes.
"Yes... I remember how sweet her voice was, how beautiful she was, how she always knew what to say to cheer me up and make me feel better... I remember her almost fully" Lucy spoke softly, never lifting her eyes from her hands.
"Almost...?" Levy asked looking at her.
"I can't remember any specific moment with her" Lucy said, Natsu noticed her smile starting to fade.
"You need a hug?" Natsu asked the moment he saw it.
"W-what?" Lucy asked as she lifted her eyes at him.
"O-ohm uhm... Just a-asked if you would want a h-hug" Natsu stammered and looked away.
"I would actually" She whispered but he heard, and so did Yukino who at next to her.
Yukino moved and let Natsu take her place to hug her, feeling it is the better choice.
"Luce, I'm here for you, you can hug me if you want" Natsu whispered only to her.
At that moment, Lucy leaped into Natsu's arms, feeling every stressed fiber that was in her melt right away, just like when she typed to 'TheDragon' that same morning.
"Thank you" Lucy whispered, not thinking he would hear.
"Always" He whispered back, making Lucy smile.
After a few minutes Lucy came back to herself and she looked at Jellal, who sat there, Shocked and forgotten.
Lucy blushed in embarrassment and began to quickly explain.
"It's ok Jellal! I'm starting to remember! Slowly but surely! I'm sure I'll remember you soon enough! Hey! Jellal? Come on, snap out of it will you?" Lucy said as she tried to shake the paralyzed bug brother of hers.
In less than a minute, Jellal shoved Lucy to his chest and hugged her as hard as he could without hurting her.
Lucy hugged back, feeling every emotion her brother held at that moment in the hug.
As they parted, Jellal looked so relieved it made Lucy feel so much less scared of the memories.
5 minutes later, the group got to the park, and with all the emotions they all felt from that ride, they all wanted to unleash it all on the park.
"Omg Luce" Natsu said with wide eyes.
"Dont stop Natsu!" Lucy yelled at him.
"Never" Natsu smirked.
"3...2...1... STOP" the boot owner shouted at the two.
Both teens put their guns down, smirking at each other thinking the other was worse.
"It's a tie, again" the owner sighed.
"WHAT?" both yelled shocked.
They had played this game for 5 times already, challenging each other each time to prove who is better.
Whilst they had their little fight, everyone else were either on a ride or strolling around the empty park reserved just for them, thanks to Lucy.
"Ok, lest just agree to disagree?" Lucy asked and offered a hand shake.
Natsu looked at the hand and then at Lucy, having a bad feeling about this hand shake.
"Okay" Natsu said, reaching to shake her hand.
At that moment, Lucy retreated her hand and dubbed, making Natsu's eyes go wild in disbelieve.
"Really? A dub?" Natsu asked, not sure if to applaud or face palm at her.
"Yep, now, want a scary ride?" Lucy asked and turned to search for an interesting ride.
They had yet to go on one, Natsu stalling without Lucy understanding why.
Lucy found the perfect ride just as Natsu caught up with her to try and stall more.
"Wanna go on this one Natsu?" Lucy asked with a smile.
Natsu sighed, he couldn't really say no to her, even if saying no meant saving him from motion sickness.
He forgot to bring enough Troia patches and swallowed hard and Lucy's eyes lit up when he didn't say no.
As Natsu got ready to go on, He noticed Lucy didn't move, He tried calling her but she didn't answer.
'Is she... remembering?' Natsu thought as he tried to not interrupt whatever trance she was in.
"Hey Natsu, Wanna try this ride?" Lucy, 15 at that time, asked her boyfriend as they stood in front of the horror ride.
"I would Luce, But the medicine is wearing off" Natsu replied looking at the ground.
"It's ok Natsu! We can get some at the shop near the entrance if you want" Lucy said with a smile as she hugged her boyfriend.
"They have them?" Natsu asked with wide eyes.
"Of course, silly, come on, let's go get you some" Lucy said and tugged her goofy boyfriend towards the shop.
"Hey Natsu, can you come with me for a second?" Lucy asked as if nothing happened.
"Sure, is everything ok Luce?" Natsu asked as he followed her.
"Yeah, I just thought of something to buy for you" She replied walking towards the shop near the entrance.
Natsu stopped, looking at the shop. He laughed and looked at Lucy's back.
"I forgot about that shot again?" He asked himself shaking his head.
"Hey Luce, can you wait up? I'm gonna but something too real qui-" Natsu was stopped when Troia patches were shoved to his face.
"For your motion sickness, can we ride the horror ride now?" Lucy said with a smile.
Natsu was shocked, he did not think she actually remembered.
"H-how did you know I have motion sickness?" Natsu asked as he took the patches.
"I remembered" Lucy said plainly and shrugged.
Natsu stood there dumbfolded as she walked towards the ride, never moving as he processed what just happened.
Lucy notices and went back to him with a sigh.
"You still need help putting them on?" Lucy asked as she took one and put it behind Natsu's ear.
"There, can we go now?" Lucy finished with a smile.
"Y-yeah" Natsu replied, slowly coming back from his trance.
After that, they went on almost every ride in the park and had a lot of fun with all of their friends.
At lunch time they all met at the grass field and sat for a picnic made by Virgo.
As they ate and laughed, a song started to play at the park's speakers. It was Lucy's old song, but it was remixed. Lucy and Yukino's eyes went wide as they recognized it and jumped to dance and sing along.
[pretty girl-Maggie Lindemann (cheat codes x cade remix)]
[Lucy]
I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl
Lucy jumped and danced to the track, loving how good it sounds fast-pace
[Yukino]
I'm more than just a picture
I'm a daughter and a sister
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a rumor
Or a song on your computer
There's more to me than people know
Yukino dances just a crazy to the cool remix.
[Both]
Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich
Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch
Some days I'm strong, some days I quit
I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit
[Yukino]
I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
Cause I'm not just a pretty girl
All of the others just looked and smiled, knowing very well the meaning behind those lyrics
[Lucy]
I'm more than just a number
I'm a hater, I'm a lover
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a title
Or a comment going viral
There's more to me than people know
[Both]
Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich
Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a bitch
Some days I'm strong, some days I quit
I don't let it show, but I've been through some shit
[Lucy]
I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
Cause I'm not just a pretty girl, I'm not just a pretty girl
I'm not just a pretty girl, no I'm not just a pretty girl
[Both]
I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl, I'm not just a pretty girl
I'm not just a pretty girl, no I'm not just a pretty girl
I'm not just a pretty girl
Lucy and Yukino fell to their sits after they finished their little show, feeling light-headed from all the twirls they did.
"That's a really good remix" Loke said smiling at the girls.
"Yeah, I really like it when fans do these kinds of stuff and it gets known" Lucy said grinning.
They all went back to eating and chilling under the nice sun until they got bored and went back to ride some more, with Lucy not forgetting to change Natsu's patches every now and then, and Natsu not forgetting she had started to really remember.
