X796
One year after the fateful battle with Alvarez and Acnologia.
The world was protected by the peace of flame. At lot of things had happened since that battle, but right now, everyone in Fairy Tail was doing great.
"This year's Kem Zaleon Prize for the best new author goes to…allow me to introduce, the author of "Iris's Adventure", Miss Lucy Heartfilia!"
"Ah, I heard that the protagonist, Iris, was based off of you, miss Heartfilia…but I can't say I expected you to be such a beautiful young girl!" Someone commented. This caused Lucy to sheepishly rub the back of her head.
"Oh, don't you know? Miss Heartfilia is a part of that mage guild Fairy Tail."
"OH MY!"
A man looked back with a sweatdrop. This suddenly explained the elephant in the room that everyone couldn't ignore for much longer. "I see…"
"So that's why…"
"Oh dear…"
"I get it now…that's why her friends are so rowdy!"
Yup. Fairy Tail was causing a ruckus as usual in the middle of this awards show.
"Quit taking your clothes off!" Erza yelled at Gray. "NOT HERE!"
"WHOA!?" Gray looked down and he was suddenly naked. "WHEN IN THE-!?"
"High-quality iron is somethin' else, I tell ya…" Gajeel grinned while munching on…something metallic.
"That's not for eating, silly…" Levy said with a slight sweatdrop.
"That's not even iron, genius…" Lily groaned.
"Our Lucy won the best new author prize!" Jet sang while shoulder to shoulder with Droy.
"Yeah, she won it!" Droy sang.
Everyone could only watch as Fairy Tail made a lot of noise…as they usually did. This was hardly the time or place and Lucy had to call it out. "UUUUUUUGH! I said I'd invite you, but only if you all behaved yourselves, didn't I!?" Lucy whined. "It's embarrassing!"
"I thought they said to wear formal clothes, buster," Gray told to Gajeel
"Yeah?" Gajeel turned. "Then put some on, idiot."
And as usual, they were face to face, scowling at one another. "Whazzat!?"
"Wanna go?" Gajeel glared. There was nothing stopping him from throwing hands with Gray right here and now. "There's a crowd to witness me kick your ass!"
At that moment, Erza kicked both of them with her heel, sending the two of them flying away with a cry of pain. "CAN YOU STOP FIGHTING!? THIS IS A JOYOUS OCCASION!?"
With comical tears running down her cheeks, Juvia began to remove her coat. "Then, Juvia has no choice but to strip instead…"
"WHO WAS IT!?" Macao asked while frantically looking around. "WHO LET HER DRINK!?"
"Who cares!" Wakaba said with perverse expression. "Give her some more!"
"I don't know how she came to that conclusion, but I agree!" Zelos quipped.
Lucy sighed, completely defeated. Expecting everyone from Fairy Tail to behave was expecting too much, but she had to give them the benefit of the doubt.
"Geez…the whole award ceremony is in shambles…" A lot happened in the last year. The book that Lucy had been writing on the side somehow managed to win best new author prize, even though it didn't exactly sell well, she still managed to become a published author.
"Congratulations, Lucy." Anna slowly walked forward with a smile on her face. She was still in this time. There wasn't a way for her to go back in time, so she stayed and became a teacher.
"Oh, Anna…!" It was strange for Lucy to be talking to one of her own ancestors…but it worked out nicely.
"There's still a few things you need to do to keep living as an author from now on." The elder Heartfilia said, causing Lucy to laugh a bit.
"it's so hard to read it" Rose said as she and Mary were reading Lucy's book with Milo
"you need to make some easy words for children, Lucy-han" Ikaruga told the blonde while sipping a cup of tea in her hands
Everything was back to normal, well mostly everything
"where's Natsu?" someone said as this made everyone looks around for the Salamander in question
"Natsu" Erza called out as she looks around before making her way to the garden near the party
In the garden
Natsu stood in the garden near a flower patch as the man stands in the middle all alone
"took you long enough" a dark voice spoke as Natsu turns his head to his left and sees END walking out of the shadows
"what do you want now?" Natsu asked the Etherious him
After the separation of two minds, both now have their own lives and own bodies, but they're still connected by an unbreakable link
"Just dropping by, managing a family and a kingdom is hard you know?" END said nonchalantly as the demon wave his hand casually at Natsu
END now reigns the Alvarez Empire in service of his late brother and became the Demon King of Alvarez
"oh and I go by the name Dragneel now, what do you think? Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Etherious Natsu Dragneel" END said with a smirk to him
"and that's supposed to bother me how?" Natsu said as END threw a sheathed dagger towards Natsu who caught it
"think of it as our last parting gift to each other" END told to Natsu who looks at the dagger as it glowed before turning into Enryuo no Kiba "you are you and I am I. we're no longer the same person"
"you're giving it…to me?" Natsu looks at END who nodded
"you earn it," END told him "besides…I no longer have my desire to destroy anymore"
END's eyes soften for a moment as he looks at the ring on his left hand
"guess that happens when you have a family"
He then turns around and started to walk towards the shadow
"see ya, Natsu" END waved Natsu off as the man can see Irene standing in the shadow with her child in her arms
Irene smiled and nodded to Natsu before she and END disappears into the shadow
Natsu sighs while shaking his head before he heard footsteps coming from behind him
He turns around and sees Erza walking towards him
"yo" Natsu greeted his wife with a smile
Erza replied with a soft smile before both of them heard fireworks exploding in the night sky
"I missed the party, didn't I?" Natsu said with a smile as Erza leans beside him
"don't worry, I'll tell you all about it," Erza told her husband as they watch the fireworks from the garden
As they watch the fireworks, Natsu looks to Erza and smiled at her
"thank you….for saving me, Erza" Natsu said with a smile as he gives a peck to her head
"it's fine…" Erza replied as she looks at Natsu "that's what marriage is all about, right?"
"couldn't say it better myself," Natsu said with a goofy grin that got Erza to smile to him
The two then leaned to each other and connected their lips as Erza hugs Natsu's neck closer to her while Natsu hugs Erza's waist to pull her closer to him
As their tongue fight for dominance over each other, so did their hands who got hungry for each other
"we -kiss- have to be back -slurp- to the party you know," Natsu said while in the kiss as Erza was hungry for his taste
"it's fine.." Erza said as she pushed Natsu down to the ground and pulls down one of the strings of her dress "let's have some fun for tonight….just the two of us"
Erza reconnect their lips once again as Natsu undid her dress from behind as their act of love got a little out of hand
The next day
Morning
Natsu was sleeping on his bed as the man was slowly waking up from his rest
His eyes fluttered open as his sight slowly adjust to the scarlet patch of hair in front of him
"good morning," Erza said with a smile to her husband who woke up
"morning" Natsu replied with his smile as he gives her a kiss
"what are we going to do today?" Erza asked Natsu as she pulls him closer to her and started snuggling to his chest
"well we can either go to the guild and do a quest or we can stay here and be with Rose and Mary" Natsu suggested to her with a smile
"option 2 sounds better," Erza said before on cue came Rose and Mary with Milo as the twins invaded their parent's bedroom
"wake up! You promised us that we go to the lake today!" Rose cheered out as she and Mary climbed up the bed and started jumping on it while Milo just sat on the floor and yawned
"ok ok, get dressed up and head downstairs, we'll catch up" Natsu told his kids as they ran out of the room with Milo slowly following behind
"I was right, Rose is more like you" Erza said with a giggle
"yeah…she does" Natsu said as he got out of bed and stretched a bit
"let's freshen up" Natsu said to his wife who nodded and headed to the bathroom with him
They freshen up and was ready for the day
Both parents headed downstairs where they see Rose and Mary with Milo already waiting and prepared for the picnic
"you're late!" Rose and Mary pouted to their parents while Milo meowed with a yawn
"sorry sorry" Natsu told to his kids
"I made something for you, Natsu" Erza said with a smile as Natsu raised an eyebrow
"what is it?" Natsu asked but Erza just replied by pointing her finger to the kitchen
"it's in the oven, right now" Erza told her husband who went to the kitchen
"in the oven?" Natsu said as he crunched down and opened the oven door and sees a bun in the oven
"a bun?" Natsu said out loud as Erza with her kids tried to stifle their laughter
"so, my gift is a bun?" Natsu asked Erza as he took a bite out of the bun and looks towards them
"and do you know what that means?" Erza said as Rose and Mary with Milo heads out first
"huh? A bun? In the oven?..." Natsu said confused as he looks at the bun before looking to the oven "a bun in the oven?"
"got it yet?" Erza asked as she heads out with her children
"a bun in the oven?" Natsu muttered out before realizing what it meant
"what!?" Natsu shouted as he scrambled towards the front door to catch up with Erza and his kids
"took you long enough" Erza said with a small grin to Natsu who was baffled
"really?!" Natsu said with a big smile as he holds Erza's waist
Erza nodded to her husband childish behavior as she giggles to him
"I'm pregnant"
~fin~
That is all
