Hey, Jaykid1 here. I'm still alive don't worry, been busy with work and other B.S. Everyone enjoying the story?
But seriously guys, you all read last chapter, how Naruto feels so strongly about Lucy and vice-versa. How could I possibly force Lucy to share Naruto with anyone other than their possible future children. That being said, please stop asking for a Harem, it's not gonna happen, PERIOD!
In other news, I haven't heard back from that writer who asked if they could make a reading version of this story. If someone would like to make a Naruto or Fairy Tail 'reading the story' story, let me know. Im actually kinda interested in seeing how it goes over.
Review-
StrawHatLuffy94: I'm well aware, but the attribute is Holy Magic. Like Naruto is the Gold Dragon Slayer but his attribute is Light.
Siegfried Heller: You're in the right ball park but his first appearance is long before that.
SilverHawk88: Thank you, glad you like the story.
Jostanos: Nope, Yes and Yes.
AstroDR: I'll let you figure it out.
Well let's get back into the story.
Enjoy!

Recap:
Naruto had just returned to the resort alone. After speaking with Simon, the larger man left, promising to be in touch while on his trip. While they were talking, Erza had given Wally, Sho and Milliana a Fairy Tail Exit Ceremony. Naruto found his entire team in the casino all at the bar. "I take it everything went ok?" He said taking the seat next to Lucy.
Erza nodded with a smile. "Yes, Wally, Sho and Milliana are off to see the world. What about Simon?" She asked.
"He left too." Naruto answered.
Erza sighed. "I see, I would have liked to see him off." She said.
"He said he'd keep in touch. I wouldn't worry." Naruto said.
"So what do we do now?" Natsu asked, still a bit drowsy.
"Yeah, we kind of wasted our vacation time with that fight and recovering." Grey added.
"We don't have to leave until noon tomorrow and the night is still young, it's only 8:00." Lucy said.
"Well what should we do with the rest of the night?" Erza asked.
Everyone had contemplative looks on their faces before Naruto perked up. "I've got an idea." He said as he waved the bartender over. "Let's get fucked up." He said getting cheers and hollers from his team. What better way to end a vacation than with Alcohol.

The sun was rising over the resort, casting it's light over the popular vacation spot. The light shined right into the room that both Naruto and Lucy shared. Lucy's face scrunched up when the sun hit it. She tried to bury her face into her pillow but the damage was done, she was awake and as soon as she was, the pain set in. Lucy was rightly and truly hungover. Opening her slightly bloodshot eyes, she groaned as the sun shined right into her eyes. She made to turn over only to wince in pain when she did.
Her body was sore and worn out. Her core felt like something had bludgeoned her. Her butt cheeks stung like something had spanked her or possibly grabbed them in a vice grip. Her legs felt like she had run a marathon and for some reason her collarbone stung. On top of that she had a horrible hangover and was nauseous.
'Why the hell did we drink so much last night.' She thought bitterly. Slowly Lucy managed to sit up and practically threw her legs off the bed. Idly she realized that her feet touched the ground sooner than they should've but she pushed that to the back of her mind as she shakily stood to her feet and practically dragged herself into the bathroom, ignoring everything around her until she got there.
After taking care of her business and trying to gather her thoughts, Lucy filled up the tub and sank into a hot bath. 'What happened last night? I remember the first few drinks, then things start to get fuzzy as we left the casino and went to the beach and then... nothing. I can't remember anything after that.' Lucy thought to herself. Sighing to herself she rubbed her face with her left hand and paused when she felt something on her finger touch her face. Pulling her hand back and looking at her left hand, Lucy blinked once... twice... thrice before her eyes widened and her mouth fell open, for on her finger was a gold wedding band with a diamond on it.
Lucy mind went blank. This couldn't be what she thought this was... could it. Before she knew what she was doing, she was out of the tub, wet and naked as the day she was born as she ran out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom only to stop when she saw Naruto standing there, just as naked as she was, holding a piece of paper. Naruto turned to her and had the same wide-eyed shocked look on his face that she did on hers.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!" They cried.

Naruto awoke to the sensation of the bed moving. He winced slightly at his headache. It didn't help that his back felt like Sora used it as a scratching post and his abdomen felt like someone used it as a trampoline. He calmed down when he activated Cura and his pain slowly faded away. Opening his eyes, he looked around the room and sat up when he noticed how trashed the room was. "The hell happened in here." He said to himself as he saw what looked like claw marks in several places. He got out of bed and realized that the legs of the bed had broken. If that wasn't enough, there was a large tear in the middle of the mattress.
"We must've had some party. To bad I can't remember it." Naruto said silently to himself as he rubbed the back of his head. Suddenly he felt something on his finger. Bringing his arm back, Naruto blinked once... twice... thrice before his eyes widened for on his finger was a gold wedding band. "What the fu..." He muttered before his eyes drifted to a paper on the nightstand. Picking it up, he saw it was a Marriage Certificate. His eyes widened even more when he saw both his and Lucy's name on it with Natsu's messy scrawl and Erza's unique signature on the witness lines. Suddenly he heard the bathroom door and saw a wet and naked Lucy staring at him with a look of shock that was no doubt on his face. He idly noticed a bite mark on her collarbone.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!" They cried.

It was an hour later when the two blonde lovers left their room. In the last hour, they had both cleaned and dressed themselves and had been going over everything that they remembered from the night before. The last thing either of them remembered was leaving the bar and going to the beach. They wanted to believe that the rings and wedding licence was part of some elaborate prank set up by Natsu that he somehow coerced Erza into participating in, but as they were cleaning the room as best they could, they found a white gown, the suit Naruto wore to the Casino on their first day and a receipt for pictures from a wedding chapel scattered around the room. They figured the only way to get to the bottom of this was to find Natsu and Erza.
When they found them, Natsu, Erza, Gray, Sora and Happy were all at breakfast, the three former with hangovers. As soon as Naruto and Lucy saw Natsu and Erza, they confronted the two and asked them what they knew about the wedding licence that Naruto was carrying with him. Both the pinkette and the red-head had shocked and confused looks on their faces, the same could be said for Gray, none remembered what happened the night before. Sora and Happy looked at one another before flying off somewhere.
"You don't think, we really..." Lucy trailed off as she and Naruto sat at the table.
"I don't know. I want to say no but, this licence looks real." Naruto answered.
"We must've been really drunk last night." Natsu said.
"Yeah, I've never been so lit that I have no memory of the night before." Grey said.
Suddenly Erza perked up. "Well this isn't all bad. So a mistake was made. It can easily be rectified. Just get an annulment." She said with finality. Erza looked expectingly at Naruto and Lucy but was shocked to note that both blondes looked reluctant. "Whats with those looks?"
Naruto and Lucy looked at one another and seemingly had a mental conversation. The message was clear to them, despite how it happened, neither really wanted to annul their marriage. Before they could voice this Happy and Sora came flying back. Both were holding a few copies of the latest Sorcerer Weekly. "You guys may want to see these." Sora said as he and Happy dropped the magazines on the table.
"They're fresh off the print, dated today." Happy added.
What had the human members of Team Chaotix attention was the cover. It was a picture of Naruto and Lucy arm in arm in the same clothes they were wearing to the Casino before the attack. The caption read: "Has Fairy Tail's Gold King found his Queen?!"
Quickly the team snatched up the magazines, Naruto and Lucy had one, Natsu and Gray had another and Erza had the last to herself. Scrolling through it, they found the article near the middle of the Magazine.
Hey there readers, it's one of your favorite reporters, Masashi Kishimoto here and have I got a scoop for you. It's been a known fact since the Guild War between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord that Fairy Tail's Gold King, Naruto Dreyar, the #1 spot in Sorcerer Weekly's Mages you want as a Boyfriend, has been seeing someone from his guild. Sources have revealed that the lucky lady is none other than Fairy Tail's newest member Lucy Heartfilia. Lucy is a Celestial Spirit Mage and it was revealed to this reporter that the two have been rather smitten with each other since before Lucy joined the guild.
But that's not the biggest news, no, no, no. The big news is that these two lovebirds have officially tied the knot. I'll give you a second to let that sink in. I tell you if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would never have believed it. For those of you who are still skeptical, take a look at the pictures on the next page.
Lucky for me I just happened to be at Akane Resort where the two appeared to be on vacation with the rest of their team and managed to get a few snaps of them. Anyone with eyes can see the raw passion in their gazes when they stare at one another or fell the potent sexual tension that surrounds them. Oh yeah, they've been intimate.
I for one am wishing the newlyweds good luck with their marriage. And I'm sure you'll all agree, they're adorable together and if the sounds coming from their room after the ceremony was anything to go by, they have no problems in the bedroom. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Dreyar!
Naruto felt his eye twitch at what he read. Lucy on the other hand was looking at the photo's. The first one was of them at the beach right after Lucy scared those Bimbo's away. The second was of the kiss they shared right afterwards. The third was of them kissing at the poker table right before Naruto left to the bar. The last picture came from what Lucy could only assume was from the wedding. She was in that white dress she saw in the room earlier while Naruto was in his suit. Natsu was in his usual attire standing next to Naruto with a half naked Gray behind him while Erza, who was wearing a beautiful purple dress was next to her with Sora and Happy behind her. They must've just been wed because they were kissing in the photo.
"Well I guess it's safe to say that the whole guild knows by now." Gray said.
"News certainly travels fast." Natsu commented.
"Well once you two get your annulment, everything should go back to normal." Erza said putting down her copy of the magazine.
"Um, Erza..." Lucy said.
"We're not getting an annulment." Naruto finished not looking up from the magazine.
"Excuse me."
Now Naruto looked up from the magazine. "I said we're not getting an annulment."
"Naruto and I love each other greatly and while this isn't exactly how I pictured it happening, I don't mind being married." Lucy said.
"Yeah, I can honestly say that the only woman I've ever thought about spending the rest of my life with was Lucy. Granted I'd have preferred to remember the wedding, the marriage aspect is what's important." Naruto agreed.
Erza didn't know what to say. While she didn't really approve of them marrying so soon, it ultimately wasn't her decision. "Very well." She conceded. "Anyway, we should all pack, it's nearly our checkout time."
"Right." Everyone agreed.

Everyone gathered up their things and checked out of their rooms before gathering around Naruto who was strong enough to teleport them all back to the Guild. As soon as they appeared in Magnolia, they were in for quite the shock. The Guild hall was finished, and it was huge. While the first guild was basically a two story bar, this new one was something akin to a castle. The front even had an outdoor cafe and a gift shop full of Fairy Tail memorabilia.
What was strange was that the front of the Guild was bare of people and the area was completely quiet. It was actually a bit eery, everyone knew that Fairy Tail and quiet didn't belong in the same sentence. What made it worse was that the giant doors were closed. Both Naruto and Natsu could smell everyone inside so why was it so quiet. Cautiously Naruto and Natsu pushed open the guild doors, as soon as they did it became glaringly obvious why it was so quiet.
Every single member of the Guild had a copy of the new Sorcerer Weekly and was reading or looking at the pictures of Naruto and Lucy. As soon as the door opened, everyone looked up and zero'd in on Naruto and Lucy, or more specifically, the rings on there fingers. Both blondes were rather unnerved being the center of attention in front of the entire guilds piercing gazes. "What?" Came Naruto's response.
No sooner had the word left his mouth had the entire guild erupted in glee, giving the couple congrats before Cana, Levy, Mira and Bisca grabbed Lucy and took her off somewhere with Erza sighing before she followed them, leaving the male members of Team Chaotix to be grilled by their male friends about the wedding, while Naruto had to awkwardly explain to his grandfather that it wasn't personal that he did invite him to the wedding.
Having given a few details but keeping the fact they were drunk to themselves, Fairy Tail through a big ass party in celebration of the marriage between the 'Gold King' and the 'Spirit Queen' of Fairy Tail, which in true Fairy Tail fashion finished with a Guild wide brawl.
-000-
In a bar two towns over, Laxus Dreyar was seething in rage; if one looked closely, they'd see tiny arcs of lightning sparking off of him at random points. His anger had stemmed from the comments he'd been hearing lately, comments about his bastard brother becoming the Sixth Wizard Saint after an incident where the council had fallen. Laxus didn't know the details but the fact that that punk was now considered just under their grandfather in terms of strength pissed him off, add to that the anger he still held when the bastard sucker punched him a week ago and you got one furious lightning mage.
"Hey, did you hear?" Some random patron in the bar said to his friend. "Fairy Tail's Gold King has apparently taken a wife." He finished.
"What, who?" The patron's friend asked.
The patron pulled the latest copy of Sorcerer Weekly out from his coat and handed it to his friend. "Her names Lucy Heartfillia, there calling her the Spirit Queen. Apparently they've been together since before she joined Fairy Tail."
"Huh... good for them." The other patron said reading the magazine.
Unbeknownst to the two friends, Laxus, despite his headphones, had heard every word and had a sinister smile on his face.

One Week Later...
In the week since Team Chaotix returned to Magnolia, much had happened. For starters, Lucy had naturally moved in with Naruto, while subletting her apartment to Cana, who preferred the privacy that came with having her own place, plus the 30,000 jewels she saved was nice too. The excitement of Naruto and Lucy's marriage had died down and the two had already fallen into a bit of a routine. Since they had already spent their time at the guild or on missions anyway, there wasn't a huge change that they had to go through, thou Lucy did have to get use to going to Naruto's (now their) place instead of her own apartment.
In the last couple days, Naruto hadn't been to the guild, choosing instead to train in his training room after a sparing match with Natsu and Gajeel revealed a startling realization regarding his Dragon Slayer Magic.
Fairy Tail's resident Dragon Slayers were behind the guild in a 3-way battle against each other... which quickly turned to 2 on 1 with Natsu and Gajeel double teaming to fight the monster that was Naruto. The two charged at him delivering punches and kicks that seemed futile as both of their attacks were either blocked or dodged by Naruto who, while not quite back to 100, was still stronger than them. The problem hadn't accrued until Natsu fired off an Iron Fist. Naruto was gonna retaliate with a Breakdown Fist until he felt his magic destabilize as the glow around his fist vanished. So taken back by this accurance, Naruto forgot all about Natsu and caught a flaming fist to the face that sent him flying, resulting in him crashing through a tree. Gajeel was the one who stopped Natsu from proceeding as he was the one who saw Naruto's magic falter.
Naruto tested several of his Dragon Slayer attacks only to have the same problem. All his other magics, including his new strength magic was working fine but it appeared his Dragon Slayer magic was lost to him. Having no clue what could be wrong, Naruto headed for the East Forest to consult his Grandmother with his new wife in tow. Porlyusica, after bashing him over the head with a broom for getting married without telling her, couldn't find anything physically wrong with him. She theorized that his magic was trying to reset itself after him ingesting pure Ethernano and that he either had to wait for it to comeback on its own, which she estimated would probably take a few months to a year, or he needed to eat/absorb a large amount of light magic. This posed a problem as Naruto himself was the only mage in Fiore who knew light magic spells strong enough to return his magic, the exception would be Master Makarov's Fairy Law spell but there was no guarantee that that would work. Naruto figured he'd just wait, at least he still had powerful magic at his disposal so he could still retain his Wizard Saint Status.
In the meantime, Naruto had been practicing his new strength magic, that he learned from Makarov was inherited from his mother. Makarov had found an old scroll that use to belong to Tsunade that detailed her uses for this magic and Naruto had spent his time learning and recreating them while also training with Lucy. Lucy had explained to Naruto what Virgo explained to her. Naruto believed that was only part of it. Naruto heard how for a brief instance, Lucy summoned all of her Celestial Spirits in front of the Spirit King from Loki, so he knew Lucy had a large amount of latent magical power. Naruto figured his own magic pulled hers to the surface and just added a small amount of his own to hers. Since her magic was high, Naruto had Lucy focus on her physical capabilities. To do this, he had her wear weights on her arms and legs, much to her chagrin.
Right now Naruto was with Makarov as they had gathered a few supplies for the Harvest Festival tomorrow. "So boy, hows the married life so far?" Makarov asked.
"Can't complain, wasn't that much of a change from our normal routine, thou we are still in the honeymoon phase." Naruto said with a smile as he readjusted the bag of supplies he was carrying. His smile suddenly turned to a frown. "I heard from Levy and Gajeel that Laxus is back in town." He suddenly said. Makarov merely groaned, not wishing to talk about his oldest grandson. Seeing that his grandfather wasn't going to speak, Naruto continued. "I know you don't want to hear this, but eventually, he and I are going to have to come to blows. There's too much animosity between us for it not to happen."
Makarov stayed silent for a moment before he spoke. "I know, but I can try to postpone it for as long as I can." He said before he looked up at Naruto. "I realize that I can't stop it forever, but if it does happen sooner rather than later, please try to take the battle outside of Magnolia. I've yet to see either of you at 100% and I fear that Magnolia would not survive the backlash if you two went to blows."
Naruto nodded. "I'll do what I can. But your right, I don't know what all Laxus is capable of and I haven't used my full power since my first council mission and my body could barely sustain that much power." Naruto said knowing that the last time he fought at full power he was 16 and nearly blew himself up. He was confident his body was sturdy enough now to handle the power but didn't want to chance it. Makarov suddenly stopped walking, which got Naruto's attention. "Jiji?"
Makarov looked at Naruto seriously. "There's something you should know, about Laxus." He said getting Naruto's full attention. "Laxus, your brother, he's a..."
-000-
Cliffhanger! Sorry, I'm evil I know. But I wanted to build suspense. All Fairy Tail fans should know what Makarov was about to say.
Anyway, this is the end. No more stories until next year... For those of you that have stuck with me this far, thank you so much. I love you all.
P.S. I'm caught up with the Manga and am proud to say that my story doesn't deviate to far from the canon story and my plans still fit in with it.

TTFN! SEE YA NEXT YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
