Hey guys I'm back. This is a Halloween special that describes Lucy's first Halloween w/ Fairy Tail and everyone else. Everything that happens is canon but you don't have to read it. There's one mention of self-harm but it's literally one or two sentences. The next chapter is coming soon, probably sometime in November. I'm going to try to get one chapter out each month because of school, but I still have time to write thankfully. Anyway, I fun writing this and I hope you guys enjoy it!
Lucy woke up with a scream when she felt a large thing on land on her bed. She lashed out and kicked whatever was on her bed with all of her strength, which had built up considerably since coming to Fairy Tail. A familiar voice screeched at her when he fell. "Luce!" A pink head popped up from the floor and glared at her. "What was that for?"
"For jumping into my bed like a maniac to wake me up!" Lucy yelled back. "Who does that?"
"Stop yelling Lucy," Happy mumbled as he lethargically flew in through the door. "it's too early in the morning." Lucy glanced at the hologram next to her to see that it was actually early; it wasn't even ten.
"Don't blame me! Blame your idiot owner for jumping on my bed like a child!"
"I'd tell you why, if you'd stop yelling," Natsu said, annoyed. Lucy crossed her arms and glared at him. "Sting and Rogue are hosting a Halloween party." Lucy's anger melted away instantaneously into child-like excitement. Natsu smiled as her eyes lit up and she started bouncing on the mattress.
"When do we leave?" Lucy asked.
"As soon as you can get ready," Natsu answered. "Sting said that Minerva and Yukino invited a lot of the girls from Fairy Tail and other gangs to go do hair or whatever the hell you guys do to get ready for parties."
"Is Evelyn coming?"
"Yeah, she's already up and eating breakfast. Now come on!" Natsu moved to leave the room before calling behind him, "we leave in half an hour!" When Natsu and Happy left the room, Lucy jumped out of bed and quickly pulled on jeans and a flowy, white long-sleeved shirt that Evelyn had bought her as an apology for how she had treated Lucy during the weeks following her rescue. After tugging on boots, she nearly tripped running down the stairs, and skidded to a halt in the kitchen.
"Don't be so clumsy Lucy," Happy chided and Lucy shot a murderous glare at the flying cat as she sat down to properly tie up her boots.
"Shut up Cat," she sneered. Natsu offered her a thermos and she grinned when she tasted hot chocolate. "Are we leaving now?" Natsu laughed.
"You're really excited about this aren't you?"
"I've never celebrated Halloween before. My father always thought it was too childish and not becoming for 'someone of our status'," she quoted at the thing she had her father say to her more than enough times throughout her life. Evelyn and Natsu shared a glance with each other and smiled knowingly.
"Sting and Rogue live in the same house?" Lucy asked as the group of four exited the house to the red sports car Natsu favored to use for casual, everyday activities.
"They basically lived together anyway, so when our parents disappeared it was easy for them to just be together and they kept each other company until they found Sabertooth," Evelyn explained.
"How did Sting become Sabertooth's leader if he's only been there for a few years?" Lucy questioned. She had met the cousins a couple of times but those had always been for strictly business and there had never been any time to ask them about their life.
"Sabertooth's old leader Jiemma was an asshole," Natsu began. "Everything in that gang revolved around proving to be stronger than everyone else and they had no allies, but Jiemma didn't care. He said that having allies meant that they were weak or some shit like that. Eventually Sting, Rogue, and Yukino had had enough and they had challenged him to a fight. Sting was the one who made the last blow so he was declared the winner. Up until now, Sabertooth had operated where whoever defeated the leader in a fight would get leadership." Lucy bit her lip and closely went through her memories to see if her father had ever mentioned anything about Sabertooth. She perked up when she remembered something she had heard in passing.
"My father once said that it was a shame that Jiemma had been removed because that meant there was one more problem to deal with," Lucy recalled. "I didn't know what he was talking about at the time, but what you're saying makes sense."
"The alliance between us, Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Mermaid Heel is the strongest in the country," Evelyn added. "I could imagine your father's frustration." The last sentence sounded bitter but Lucy didn't blame her. Her father had put her through hell and she knew Evelyn was aching for revenge. On some level, so was she. But Lucy was satisfied with just knowing that her father had to see her with his enemies having fun and being happy was revenge enough. They hadn't seen each other since that short time after she had run away, when she told him that she was glad to be in Fairy Tail and that she was never going back to him. The fact that he had done nothing so far was concerning but Lucy was confident Natsu and the others were going to protect her no matter what. That was something she liked about Fairy Tail. It had been such a long time since there had been so many people who cared about her and the feeling was amazing.
"Come the fuck on!" Lucy was ripped out of her thoughts to see steam rising from Natsu's head as he violently tapped buttons on the panel in the car. "You've been to their house a million fucking times!" Evelyn had tears streaming down her face and Happy was openly laughing at Natsu's misfortune. Lucy bit her lip and her eyes showed a huge amount of amusement. "Can you stop laughing?" Natsu asked impatiently
"We'll stop laughing when the car starts working," Evelyn responded and Happy rolled onto his back, with tears streaming into his fur, Natsu glared at his younger sister who shot him an innocent expression.
Five minutes later when the car got the route and destination right, they were off. Natsu was blasting Halloween music and Evelyn was telling her entertaining stories of everyone from when they were younger. Natsu had a pout on his face as he listened to Evelyn's stories.
"Gray did not kick my ass!" Natsu protested. "Never in his life has Gray kicked my ass."
"If you asked him that the response would be different," Happy commented.
"Of course it would because Gray knows he can't beat me so he has to lie to save face," Natsu explained. "It's completely logical!"
"Are you sure about that Natsu?" Lucy stayed quiet and looked at how Natsu's shoulders had tensed and how his jaw had clenched. Lucy's eyebrows furrowed. As far as she was aware, Evelyn disappearance was the only thing that had made Natsu feel bad. Maybe there was something else he hadn't told her yet. She resolved when they got to Sting and Rogue's house she would corner him and ask him what was wrong.
When they got to Sting and Rogue's house, Lucy gasped a breath. Their house, mansion was more accurate, was beautiful. In a similar style to Natsu's the outside was all white with light wood and gray paneling. A pool of light blue water was built along the front side of the house and most of the walls were glass. "This is amazing," Lucy said as she, Natsu, and Evelyn walked up to the front door.
"Our house is better," Natsu muttered and Lucy rolled her eyes. Of course he couldn't admit to anything being better than something of his.
"Hey guys!" Sting greeted as they knocked on their door. "You're the first ones here." Natsu gave Sting and Rogue high-fives, while the cousins swept Evelyn into huge hugs and she laughed as they spun her around. "Good to see you too Lucy."
"It's good to see you again too," Lucy returned the greeting with a small smile. "When are the others going to get here?"
"That eager to leave us already Lucy?" Sting teased and Lucy scoffed. "I don't know when the girls are going to get here, but I think most of the guys will be here within the hour or so."
"How have things been around here?" Natsu asked and Rogue sighed.
"We've had some trouble in town but nothing too serious. Jiemma's been opposing us some more and bringing unwanted attention to the city, but we've kept it under control." Natsu nodded but he had a frown on his face.
"Come on inside," Sting widened the door in a gesture for them to come inside. The entry floor was all white tile and the glass banisters for the stairs showed the floor above and below them. Two pendant lights hung over a dining table and a small wall with shelves filled with pictures and books formed a kind of divider, blocking their view from whatever was behind it. "Frosch, Lector! Natsu, Happy, Evelyn, and Lucy are here!" Lucy didn't hear anything but Natsu tilted his head and smiled. A few moments later the sound of flapping wings was audible and the two Exceeds flew in.
"Hello," Frosch chirped while Lector waved.
"Great to see ya again Happy," Lector patted Happy on the back and Happy grinned at both of them.
"Yeah, I've missed you guys!" Sting turned back to them as the cats lazily flew away to go somewhere else.
"Come on in, we can get food or drinks if you want? We still need help with decorating too." Lucy cast a glance around and noticed that there were no Halloween decorations up yet.
"I want to help decorate!" Lucy volunteered enthusiastically and Natsu smiled at her fondly even though she didn't see it.
"It's Lucy's first time celebrating Halloween," Natsu told his cousins with a grin. "Your Halloween parties are always amazing though, so I'm sure she'll enjoy it." Sting and Rogue beamed at the praise and Sting gave a fake bow to Lucy.
"We'll have to go more over the top than we normally do then," Sting stated and Rogue smiled and nodded.
"We will; you'll love it," Rogue promised. Lucy was positively beaming and Natsu and Evelyn were smiling with her too. Lucy's enthusiasm was contagious. As Evelyn trotted after Sting and Rogue who were brainstorming Halloween decorations. Natsu smirked.
"It would be them to wait until literally an hour before everyone shows up to decorate," Natsu commented to no one in particular.
"Hey Natsu," Lucy started and he turned around to smile down at her. "About what happened in the car, when Evie was talking about Gray…" Instantly any emotion left his face and his eyes darkened in a threatening way. Lucy faltered at his reaction. She reached down to grab his hands and she gently rubbed her fingers over the scars on his wrists. "Do you still not trust me after everything that's happened?"
Natsu closed his eyes and sighed. He did trust her, that wasn't the issue at all. God knows she had seen him at some of his lowest moments so that didn't really matter to him. But it was still so difficult for him to admit anything that he perceived as showing weakness. That's why he hid away for weeks after Evelyn got kidnapped. Natsu tenderly removed her hands from his and just held them for a little bit. "Luce…" She stayed quiet while he struggled to decide what words to say.
He softly growled when nothing came to mind. She was the better one with words, always knowing what to say. Natsu settled for just pulling her into a hug. "I'll tell you one day, I promise." Lucy felt her face flush at his words and how carefully he was holding her. She slowly reciprocated the hug and held him tightly.
"Thank you," she whispered and Natsu just nodded. He knew what she was thanking him. For taking her in, even though one could argue that he theoretically kidnapped her, giving her a place to stay, and making her happy again. He also knew that she was grateful that he had let her in, when everyone else had stayed locked out tight for years.
"Come on lovebirds! We're getting out lights and pumpkins!" Evelyn called from the upper level and Natsu heard Sting laugh in the background. They disengaged from the hug and realized his face was lightly flushed as well.
"Let's go before they start spreading rumors," Natsu suggested and Lucy nodded with a smile on her face.
An hour later everyone else started to arrive. Cars were pulling up in front of Sting and Rogue's house while everyone was still bustling around inside stringing up purple and orange lights around pillars and the borders of doors. Pumpkins of various sizes were sitting on shelves and tables and jack o' lanterns were sitting in windows. Rogue had changed the colors of all of the pools outside to be orange so even the water was ready for Halloween. Sting and Rogue gave hugs to Minerva and Yukino. When the girls from Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale arrived Sting and Rogue greeted them warmly and politely. They had scooped up Wendy and twirled her around while she laughed uncontrollably. It warmed Lucy's heart to see how all of the cousins interacted with each other. She and Levy had hugged each other even though they had seen each other two days before.
"We're all going out," Erza declared immediately, gesturing to all of the girls that were gathered in their group. "Lots of shopping to be done. All of you are getting costumes and all of you are getting makeup done."
There was a chant of "yes ma'am" and all of the guys made eye contact and rolled their eyes. "How are we all going to go the mall? Take a million cars?" a blonde from Blue Pegasus asked and Chelia waved the question away.
"We brought our limo so we can all take it," Chelia answered. Wendy squealed in excitement.
The limo ride into town was loud. Everyone was chattering and music was playing the background. Bass from the current song was pulsing through the car but everyone was ignoring it, favoring to talk to each other instead of listening to music. Lucy was talking to Yukino who she hadn't met before Erza was having a conversation with Minerva over something while Mirajane and a blonde girl from Blue Pegasus were glaring daggers at each other. Lucy reached over and tapped Erza on the shoulder.
"Do they not like each other?" Lucy gestured to where Mirajane and the other blonde were still looking like they were ready to kill each other.
"They can get along, but they do tend to argue a lot. They were rivals when they were younger," Erza informed and Lucy nodded in understanding. She didn't understand what it was with this group of people and how everyone could care for each other so much while fighting almost 24/7.
When they arrived in town, Erza, Mirajane, and Jenny, that was the name for the blonde who was rivals/friends with Mira, herded them towards Heart Kreuz. Much like they had done the first time Lucy had gone out with the girls, they instantly went to the interactive mirrors and then raced around the shop grabbing clothes off of hangers then charging for the dressing rooms. Evelyn was walking with Lucy and Levy when she and Levy shared devious smirks.
"Hey Lu, I think you should wear something red for tonight," Levy suggested and Lucy narrowed her eyes.
"And why is that Levy?" Lucy had a suspicion.
"Evie told me that Nastu—"
"No, Levy," Lucy interrupted. "I'm not going to match Natsu. If I match Natsu then you have to match Gajeel." Lucy wiggled her eyebrows and smirked. Evelyn smothered her laughs by slapping her hand over her mouth.
"How do you know what Gajeel is going as?"
"Natsu was making fun of him for it," Evelyn told her. "When we got home, he kept laughing about how Gajeel couldn't pull off being a superhero, saying that his hair wasn't right for it."
"Then what's Natsu going to be?" Levy fired back.
"A demon," Evelyn replied.
"You seem kind of defensive Levy," Lucy taunted and she loved seeing Levy's face immediately flush red. It was a nice change of pace. They continued talking while they walked around the store, occasionally pulling dresses off of hangers before heading to the changing rooms.
Evelyn went in first and came out wearing one of the white strapless dresses that she had found. Lucy later found out that she was planning on going as an angel. "I would need to find a halo," she murmured, "but I really like this dress." She turned back to Lucy and Levy after she finished admiring herself in the mirror. "What do you think?"
"I love it," Lucy exclaimed. "It's so pretty." Levy nodded in agreement and smiled.
"You should definitely get it," Levy confirmed. Then Levy went into the changing room and came out several times until she found a dress that she was satisfied with. Her dress was a light pink with delicate lace and bead patterns. A see-through piece of fabric was attached to the back.
"What are you going to be Levy?" Evelyn asked as she leaned against the wall, looking up from her phone.
"A pixie," Levy stuttered, like she was afraid to tell them. Evelyn just shrugged.
"Don't worry if you think it's a silly costume," Evelyn reassured. "Erza's going as a fairy queen, so I think you'll be in the clear."
"Is there something wrong with that Evelyn?" a voice that had a hint of warning in it said from behind her. Evelyn swore under her breath. She hadn't seen Erza approach her.
"Not at all," Evelyn hastily corrected herself. "Levy was just worried about going as a pixie because she thought it would be considered a silly costume."
"Fairies and pixies are similar," Erza mused before her face lit up. "Let's wear similar dresses!" Levy didn't have time to protest before Erza was dragging her away. Lucy and Evelyn shared a laugh at Levy's exasperated face.
"She hasn't changed at all," Natsu's little sister mused as they watched Erza haul Levy around the store to various racks of dresses. "I don't know why I was expected her to." She smiled to herself and pushed Lucy towards the changing room. "Go try on the red dress we picked out for you!" After a minute or so Lucy came out, looking slightly uncomfortable.
"I'm not sure how I feel about this," she admitted as she looked at the tight, short, red dress she was wearing. The fabric was a beautiful shimmery red which she loved.
"Don't be ridiculous you look amazing," Evelyn waved away her statement. "You should take it."
"You look really good in that Lucy," Mirajane complimented as she walked by with a black dress in tow.
"Thank you for agreeing with me Mira," Evelyn said. "You definitely need to take it." Lucy bit her lip but she had to agree, she did look good in the dress.
"Fine, I'll buy it."
"Does anyone know when the girls will be back?" Rogue asked as all of the guys were scrambling to decorate Sting and Rogue's mansion.
"Evie said that Erza just dragged them to a bakery and she wants to pick up cake for tonight, so I'd imagine we still have a good two hours," Natsu called as he was trying to untangle the purple and orange lights that were going to be strung across ceilings, bordering doorways, and wrapped around banisters.
"It'll be ok if we don't finish in time, though right?" Lyon asked. Natsu, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, and all of the other Fairy Tail members looked horrified at the thought.
"She'd strangle us if we didn't finish after we told her we would!" Natsu cried before dramatically adding, "I'm too young to die."
"Shut up Natsu!" Gray yelled from the floor above. Natsu smirked and continued to work on untangling the string of lights. After five more minutes of having no success, he felt his frustration and anger build up.
"Hey Sting?" Natsu asked his younger cousin who was working in the same room, but instead was focusing on the sound system and speakers. When he stopped to look over at Natsu he had to hold in a laugh. The scowl on Natsu's face was one that Sting had only made him see in the middle of fights, but instead of people it was directed at lights that had seemed to become more meshed together than they had been before.
"Need some help?" Sting offered and Natsu glared at him.
"You don't have to look so smug about it," Natsu huffed as his cousin sat down on the floor and pulled the mess of wires towards him.
"What the hell did you do?" Sting snickered. Natsu crossed his arms and continued to glare at the heap of lights. As Sting was toying with the wires Natsu let his mind wander to what had happened earlier.
One day he would tell her everything; he hadn't been lying. He'd tell her how when he woke up that morning to find Igneel gone, his first thought had been he left because of something he had done. She already knew how much he had hated himself when he had let Evelyn go to Crocus alone. He sighed and shook his head, clearing the memories from his mind. That was all past him now.
"You ok?" Sting asked when he noticed his cousin had zoned out.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Natsu reassured him and gave a somewhat forced smile. Sting didn't necessarily believe him but he let it slide. "Who's doing the food and drinks?" Natsu questioned and Sting was still fiddling with wires, although they were becoming less and less untangled while Natsu was lost in his thoughts.
"The pretty boys from Blue Pegasus are working on it. Their front is basically acting as a café for the rich and famous so they can't be all bad cooks."
"You know a good host would have had all of this done before the guests arrived," Natsu teased and Sting gently punched him. "We've got it covered and if we can get this done before the girls get back we'll be golden." Natsu had to nod in agreement. "Besides it's good bonding time." Sting wasn't so sure he should have said that as voices raised from the floor below them.
They remained silent as they heard Gajeel screaming at Gray and Natsu laughed. "And I got them untangled." Natsu sighed in relief.
"Thanks man. I can get the rest of them hung up by myself. Go and start screwing around with the sound system again."
Natsu trailed through the house and took his time taping up lights to the side of every counter and around the perimeter of each window. Natsu smiled when he saw the electric jack o' lanterns that Evie had put out before everyone else arrived. It would be nice celebrating Halloween with her again. Normally after the Halloween party, they would go back home and drink apple cider while sitting in front of the fire and they would just talk. Nothing in particular, just about whatever entered their mind.
When he entered the kitchen, he did see the 'pretty boys' of Blue Pegasus preparing small snacks and dishes while have a bowl of light pink punch sitting on the counter and beside it were small cups with an orange slice put in them. "This smells amazing you guys," Natsu commented and Hibiki grinned.
"Well if you think the food smells good then everyone is going to like it," Hibiki said. "We made some salsa out of ghost peppers for you." Natsu's face lit up at the thought of spicy food that no one but him was going to eat. They heard a car pull up in front of the house and Ren swore under his breath.
"Fuck. The girls are here," he announced. There was a mad dash for Sting's bedroom where all of the guys had stored their costumes. Natsu quickly changed into his red, long-sleeved, buttoned up shirt and black slacks.
"Why are you two morons wearing togas?" he heard Gajeel ask Sting and Rogue.
"We're being gods this year," Rogue informed him and Gajeel laughed his rough laugh. He saw Gray dressed as Jack Frost, and got pissed when Lyon was wearing something similar. With his eyesight he could see Juvia wearing a light blue dress and had her hair curled and he knew there was going to be a lot of drama between the three people tonight.
Everyone scrambled down the stairs to hastily open the door so the girls wouldn't yell at them.
Lucy gasped at the sight of the house once again. Purple and orange lights glowed in the windows and all of the colors lit up the grass in front of the house. Spiderwebs were strung up in trees and there was a skeleton hanging up on the door. Before Erza could knock, Sting opened the door and greeted them with a big grin.
"Welcome back guys," he moved to let them in and there were more gasps of amazement. The lights were twisted around the metal banisters and ominous music played through invisible speakers.
Lucy glanced around for Natsu and found him with a red shirt that was very similar to her dress. She silently swore at Levy and promised to get revenge on her for doing this to her. But he did look good. She suddenly felt self-conscious but Natsu's face lit up when he saw her and Evelyn. He cut through the throng of people to greet them.
"Both of you look amazing," he grinned and beamed at them but his eyes lingered a little more on Lucy. "How was shopping?" He seemed to already knew what they were going to say.
"Erza decided to have a similar dress as Levy because fairies are similar to pixies apparently and then she spent an hour and a half looking at cakes," Lucy summarized and Evelyn nodded with a smile. Evelyn tilted her head and deeply inhaled.
"The food smells amazing," she moaned and she made her way to the kitchen. Natsu collected himself and smiled again at Lucy.
"You do look amazing," he repeated and she blushed.
"Levy and Evie practically forced me to buy it," Lucy murmured. "I wasn't sure about it or not." He held out his hand.
"Come on," he smiled warmly and Lucy took his hand and he gently lead her to the kitchen. The glass table in front of the kitchen island had lights taped under the glass and a pumpkin was sitting in the center. Platters of food were displayed on the white countertop of the island and Lucy tentatively looked at the drinks that had been put out in the shape of a skull.
"What is this?" Lucy asked Natsu, not sure if she wanted to take a drink or not. Lucy saw Cana already had two glasses in each hand and was steadily drinking from each one while she flirted with Hibiki. Cana must have felt Lucy's gaze on her because she gestured to Natsu subtly and arched an eyebrow with a smirk. Lucy turned bright red at what Cana was insinuating and she turned away.
"It's just some fruity punch. It's really good." She noticed Natsu already had a glass in hand and was taking a sip of it. Instead she reached out and grabbed a slider that was on one of the platters and delicately took a bite.
"Could I get some water instead?" she asked nervously, not wanting to be judged by him. He just gave her an understanding look and went to the fridge.
"Hey Lu," Levy said as she went to stand next to her. "Having fun yet?"
"Yeah, I am. The food is really good." They giggled before Levy scanned the room.
"Looking for Gajeel?" Lucy taunted. "Maybe I should have made you wear black, so you two could match also." Levy blushed.
"So you noticed, huh?" Levy shrugged. "Oh well." Levy frowned as she stopped looking around and focused on one spot. Lucy followed her gaze and sighed when she saw what had caught Levy's attention. Gray was standing with Juvia while Lyon seemed to be arguing with him. Lucy never wanted to get involved in the mess that those three had.
"They act like such children," Lucy muttered. She felt a warm hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Natsu holding out a glass of water. "Thank you Natsu." She also saw that he had a plate piled with food and she had no idea how none of the food had fallen over yet. After this do you want to dance?" Lucy blushed and nodded.
"Shrimp," Gajeel called out to Levy as he walked up to them. "Come get food with me." Lucy looked with a smirk as Levy walked off with Gajeel. Lucy followed Natsu out to the deck where they sat on two chairs and ate quietly. Or she was quiet at least, Natsu always ate food loudly and while she had found it kind of appalling she grew to learn that that was just how Natsu was.
Music started swelling through the sound system again when Natsu began finishing up and he grinned. He had grabbed another drink at some point but Lucy couldn't bring herself to care. "Come on, tonight will be the best I promise."
Evelyn was asleep with her head resting against the cool window of the car. Lucy and Natsu were sitting side by side silently. "I'm sorry if I was kind of a jerk earlier," Natsu apologized and Lucy knew what he was talking about. "Just give me some time and then I'll tell you everything." Lucy stayed silent before giving a slight smile up at him. She hesitated but voiced what she had been considering for a couple of weeks.
"I want to get revenge on my father." Natsu raised his eyebrow and Lucy hasted to explain her decision. "Just for everything he put me through, and everything he put you through, and for what he did to Evelyn—."
"We will, I promise. But let's just enjoy the rest of the night and forget about that for a while." Lucy nodded and she rested her head on his shoulder and he moved to hold her hand. When they had arrived him, Natsu had made himself, Lucy, and Evelyn apple cider and they had lit the fireplace. They stayed up for another hour or so before Evelyn excused herself to go to sleep. A few minutes later Lucy decided to head up to go to sleep as well and Natsu walked up the stairs with her. When she reached her door, she expected Natsu to say goodnight and leave but he didn't. It almost looked like he was having an argument with himself but he sighed.
"It's been a long day," Natsu stated. He followed Lucy into the room and crawled into the bed with her.
"You do know you have a room, right?" Lucy asked, just to make sure he remembered. Natsu chuckled and confirmed that he did, in fact, remember that he had his own room.
"I feel better sleeping with you," he confessed, with a slight pink staining his cheeks. "You keep the nightmares away." Lucy gave a bashful smile and she relaxed. She grinned up at the glow-in-the-dark stars that she had painted on the ceiling. Tonight was fun and she couldn't wait to celebrate other holidays with her new family.
This is a story mainly told through Lucy's or Natsu's point of view so there will be mentions of other ships but they won't have as much attention and development. I'll see you guys later and I hope you have a good and safe Halloween!
