Theme #25: 2.5 Million Years

"Ah! What a great picnic!" Natsu yelled loudly, patting his large stomach as he laid on the blanket next to Lisanna. The girl giggled as she joined him, putting her hands being her head as a cushion. Her boyfriend did the same.

"The stars are beautiful, huh, Natsu?"

"Yep, sure are."

Some time passed before the silver-haired girl asked tentatively,"Hey...Natsu?"

"Hmm? What is it, Lisanna?" He turned to face her, tearing his gaze away from the night sky.

"D-Do you think, well, I've just read a book that says that stars have a reason to die and so do humans. In 2.5 million years. That book said that when those 2.5 million years pass, you might even meet the people you know now, again. Well, I-I was just wondering..."

"What book didja read, Liz?"

"A-Ah, I forgot the title. Mira-nee was reading it and I asked her what some parts of the book meant."

"So, what didja want to ask, Liz?"

"Well, Natsu, I was thinking. 2.5 million years from now, do you think we'll meet again?"

The pink haired male grinned. "Ya know what Liz? If we can meet again after seven years of separation, I know that we'll meet again 2.5 million years from now."

"W-well, there's something else that's bugging me. If we do meet again in 2.5 million years, do you think we'll end up together? I'm worried that maybe we can't, for some reason, be toget-"

Natsu cut her her off as he grabbed her hand and kissed her forehead. "Liz, the whole seven years you were gone, I wasn't with anyone. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you 2.5 million years from now..."

"Ugh! Loke, why am I in a library again?" Natsu Dragneel groaned as he dragged his legs to keep up with his panicking friend.

"Because! I asked Lucy out on a study date and she actually said yes! And I've got to find books so that it doesn't seem like I was lying!" The school's player panicked as he grabbed boom after book on the shelf.

Natsu sighed, annoyance in his sigh, as he leaned on a book shelf. A yellowing, aged book with an unreadable title caught his book all of a sudden. He stood up straight and as he made a grab for the book, another hand touched his. He looked up and say a girl a few inches shorter than him with short sliver hair and blue eyes. He never saw her before but she looked oddly familiar.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were getting that book." She spoke, a hand covering her pale pink lips.

He waved it off. "Nah, I was bored and it just caught my eye. Didja ever read it before?"

Her blue eyes sparkled. "Oh, it's one of my favorites! Oh, my name's Lisanna Strauss." She stuck out a hand.

Natsu grinned. "Natsu Dragneel." They shook hands. "So, what's so great about that book, anyways?"

Lisanna clasped her hands. "Oh, it's amazing! One of my favorite quotes is about meeting again 2.5 million years again. The book says that stars die have a reason to die as do humans. In 2.5 million years. And in 2.5 million years, you can-"

"Might meet the people you know now again." Natsu finished for her, though he was surprised he even knew a quote he never heard before. He looked at the girl intensely and memories he never knew flooded through his mind. A picnic. Star gazing. A promise.

He broke into a gentle smile. "After 2.5 million years, I'm glad we met again, Liz..."

End!
