"Come on you two, it's almost time for the zodiacs to come." My mother said, informing us of the time, we walked over to the four thrones, two large ones, and two slightly smaller ones. My father took large throne on the right, my mother on the left, I took the seat on the left of my mother. I sat in the throne next to my mother's, as I did so the clock chimed twice, signaling for the zodiacs to come. They came in through the grand double-doors and bowed to us, from across the room. They then came across the room and stood in front of us, they addressed my father and mother and me, with our titles, in that order. My father turned to Loke.
"Leo, my old friend, would you bring my son-in-law here please?"
"Of course, I'll fetch Natsu at once." Loke bowed and opened a portal, this time it closed behind him, a few minutes later Natsu came in, wearing a red tux, a pink undershirt and black shoes.
"Natsu, since you are now part of our family, would you take the throne next to mine?" My father asked, a bit too formally for Natsu's liking.
"Of course, er, sir." Natsu said uncomfortably, ending it with an awkward bow. My father laughed, noticing Natsu's blatant discomfort.
"Natsu, you are family now. There is no need for the formalities." He said, still chuckling. Natsu took his seat in the throne next to my father's, but not before a sigh of relief left his lips.
"So… What should I call you?" Natsu asked my father, who responded with the strangest name he could of, the very name I gifted him on our first meeting.
"Mustache Man." He said simply, a grin spreading across his face.
"Okay, what should I call you?" Natsu asked, leaning forward to direct this at my mother.
"Please Natsu, call me mom."
"Okay so there's Luce, Mom, and Mustache Man." Natsu said seriously, his grin gracing his features when he said the name my dad requested. The bell chimed three times and the silver-keyed spirits poured in, forming a line that ended at the door. Not a minute later the bell chimed four times, the keyless spirits continued the line, which was now to the front door, possibly even out it. My father and mother rose, then signaled for Natsu and I to do so too, so we did as we were told.
"Spirits! Tonight, not only has one of the princesses returned," the spirits roared with excitement and joy, "But she has also brought her husband, the son of a dragon!" The roars of the spirits grew louder once he said 'dragon'.
"Now, let the meeting commence!" My mother finished and the line moved, the first spirits coming to me, then ending with Natsu before they lined up against the walls, females on my side, males on Natsu's, probably a preparation for the dance. First were my silver-keyed spirits, then the other Canis Minor's, then came Yukino's spirits, the line went on for two hours. At the very back of the line, and looking very uncomfortable in his tuxedo and in the lavishly decorated room, was Der Schmied, a minotaur.
"I be Der Schmied." He bowed, almost as awkwardly as Natsu.
"Nice to meet you Der Schmied. I'm Lucy Dragneel, I'd like to compliment the craftsmanship on the tiara you've made me." He blushed, probably not used to these sorts of compliments, especially not from a princess.
"It is time for the dance!" My father announced.
"We'll go first, just do as we do." My mother whispered, my new senses picking it up, as did Natsu's. My parents walked forward to the center of the room and started a swirling, elegant dance, Natsu and I followed in suit, then the zodiacs, then the silver keys, then the keyless spirits. We danced for what seemed like a few minutes, despite it having been hours, I talked about my adventure, and Natsu talked about guild-life, and what everyone was doing. All the other newly-weds were honeymooning, Romeo and Wendy had six dates, on for every day, or every hour here. Eventually the ball ended and Natsu had to leave. My mother showed me to a room with a four poster bed, walk-in closet, desk, and a vanity, all in shades of pink, gold and red, but the amounts of each color wasn't overwhelming, it was perfect.
"There are already clothes in the closet, go get some sleep, you need to be ready for tomorrow." My mom said, then left, I did as I was told and got ready for bed, not yet noticing the door to the bathroom. I settled on PJ's almost exactly like the ones Erza wears, except blue with gold Fairy Tail symbols, now noticing the bathroom I went to finish getting ready for bed. When I opened the door I was greeted by a sparkling, white tiled room, with a bath big enough to be the guild's swimming pool, and a lifetime supply of bubble bath in the closet. Trying my hardest to fight the urge to bath, I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I left and closed the door behind me, with a running leap a flopped unto my king-sized bed, to be caught by the fluffiest blankets, softest sheets, and the biggest pile of pillows and stuffed animals I have ever seen. I fell asleep instantly, excited for, but also fearing training with Aquarius.
