Blue Pegasus was cute as far as 24 hour wedding chapels went. It looked like an explosion of hearts and pegasi, which Lucy assumed was where the name came from. Everyone in the car was tense with worry at what they would discover.

With a deep breath to center herself Lucy got out of the car, prompting the other three to follow her into the building.

"Well hello there." Loke flashed his grin at the blonde receptionist. "We were here last night and were hoping that someone might remember us."

"Oh of course I remember you!" She turned towards the back. "Bob!"

"Hey!" A portly, bald man came out of the back. "You guys!" Bob proceeded to hug Cana, Loke, and Gray, stopping when he got to Lucy. "And hello! I don't believe we've met. I'm Bob."

"I'm Lucy"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Lucy." Bob shook her hand. "Did you come here to get married as well?"

"No." Lucy shook her head, eyes wide. "No. My friends here are having trouble remembering anything from last night. We were hoping you might be able to fill us in."

"You really don't remember anything?"

"We just need to know what happened." Gray shifted, uneasy at the implications of what might have transpired.

"I have a photo album if you'd like to see." Bob beamed at them. "Printed it out this morning."

"That would be perfect."

"Jenny dear, would you mind fetching that for me?"

"Sure thing." The blonde woman, Jenny, looked through a couple boxes, finally pulling out a thick album with a tacky cover, placing it on the counter in front of them. "We made sure to get all the best photos."

"Thanks Jenny." Lucy flipped it around, hoping not to find photographic evidence of Jellal's marriage to a stranger.

Cana's jaw dropped as Lucy flipped the photo album open. "Loke."

"Wait, wait, wait. Don't tell me" Loke let out a groan, already imagining the pain Erza would inflict on them all. "Jellal married a stripper."

"Loke get over here." Cana hissed at him.

With a grimace Loke sauntered over to Cana and Lucy, jaw dropping when he saw the picture. "Holy shit."

Bob smiled at them. "Congratulations again on your union. I'll go grab the rest of the memorabilia in the back."

Loke dragged a hand down his face, as he watched Lucy start to flip through the album. "We're married."

"Awww." Lucy pointed at the picture. "Look at how cute you two are."

Gray let out a snort "I'm sorry." Another snort. "You know what. Actually I'm not." He bent over, hands clasping his knees as he dissolved into laughter. "Marriage is a game changer. This is a choice."

Lucy flipped to the next photo, and with a creased brow flipped back and forth between the photos a couple times. "Can someone explain how Gray managed to lose his pants between these two photos. There's gotta be only what, maybe ten seconds between them."

"It's a real talent." Cana shot Gray a glare.

"I mean that is just," Lucy let out a low whistle, "impressive. They're just gone."

"Can we focus less on me losing my pants and more on Cana and Loke being married!" Gray cackled at his friends. "You're married!"

"Here we are!" Bob had reappeared with a large box, placed on the counter. "Mugs, calendars, hats."

"What about the license?" Lucy inquired, knowing that Loke and Cana were too shell shocked to think about the particulars. "Do you have the license?"

"Oh don't you worry about that dear." Bob affectionately pat Loke and Cana's hands. "Part of the high roller package. I sent it out this morning. The Last thing newlyweds need is to be forced to focus on paperwork."

"Oh my god." Lucy slammed the album shut after flipping through a few more photos. "What kind of pervert continued taking these photos."

"We just want to capture your ceremony to look back on." Bob let out a chuckle. "Although you were all a little rowdy I must say.

Cana let her head fall into her arms, which were crossed on the counter. "I don't want to know-"

"No, no." Gray cut Cana off. "Please Bob. Regale us with the particulars of the ceremony."

"You came in with your other two friends asking about getting married." Bob gave a genuine smile. "You were so insistent on it. Saying you were going to marry her. Just warms my heart."

"Did uh." Cana cleared her throat. "Did he happen to say why?"

"I don't remember either of you expressing a specific reason, other than just wanting to be married." Bob opened the cardboard box and began pulling out a few of the items. "But you were both so excited, and insisted that he take your last name."

Gray flipped through the calendar, doubling over in laughter once again.

Lucy attempted to get the conversation back on track. "Do you have any idea where they might have gone afterwards?"

"No." Bob shook his head. "Sorry."

"Okay." Lucy packed the photo album into her purse. "Let's focus on the positives here. Jellal isn't married to a stripper so that's good. Out of danger for now at least."

"Except for Loke." Gray smirked

Loke scoffed, rolling his eyes at Gray. "Erza's not gonna kill me for marrying Cana."

"Yeah but Gildarts will."

All the color drained from Loke's face as he staggered back. "I forgot about Gildarts."

"Hey hubby." Cana waved her hand in front of his face. "Let's deal with one murderous red head at a time. Still got to find Jellal before Erza kills all of us."

Loke wrapped his arms around himself. "I'm dead. I am so dead. They're going to eviscerate me."

Lucy looked around as a ringtone sounded, trying to figure out which phone it could be coming from..

"Loke." Cana poked him in the side. "Answer your phone. It could be Jellal."

Snapping out of it Loke grabbed his phone out of his pocket, putting it on speaker. "Hello?"

'Hey Loke! I need you guys to come pick me up.' Natsu's voice came out the other end.

"Where are you?"

'I'm at the police station'

Gray clenched his fists, the earlier good mood gone. "Why are you at the police station?"

'Is that Gray? Tell him to chill his tits. I got arrested. They picked me up for public intoxication. I got a ticket and they just let me out now that I'm sobered up'

"Okay. We've got to go grab Natsu." Lucy slapped Loke on the back. "You two can sort out your marital issues later."

Gray grabbed the box of memorabilia, lugging it out to the car. "Can't forget all of these Mr and Mrs Alberona."

Lucy grabbed one of the calendars out of the box as they walked out, seeing Cana's last name decorating the pages. "Not that there's anything wrong with a man taking his wife's name…" She left unsaid that she didn't see Loke as being the type. Then again. "What is your last name anyway?"

"Apparently it's Alberona now."

Lucy sighed, rolling her eyes. "I mean before that."

"Nobody knows." Cana elbowed Loke in the side.

"You've got to have a last name." Lucy prompted. "For legal reasons if nothing else."

"If Madonna, Prince, and Cher can all get away with the one name thing I don;t see why I can't too."

"Only because no one can pronounce it." Gray shot back.

As everyone strapped in, Loke took Cana's hand in his own. "Listen Cana."

"Oh god." Cana was not prepared for whatever dramatic, romantic, or whatever speech Loke might have for her, the person he married.

"I just want you to know that no matter what happens. No takesies backsies, I'm keeping the last name." That was not what Cana had expected. Loke looked around at the rest of the group. "What? It's a great last name. Easy to spell and pronounce, only eight letters that all belong to the same alphabet. No numbers or symbols, and it starts with an 'A'. You get to be right at the front when you're put in alphabetical order."

"Is yours really that bad?" Lucy couldn't help but wonder if he was being overdramatic.

"Yes." The other three chimed in, in unison. If Gray and Cana also agreed it had to be bad. Lucy would have to sate her morbid curiosity as to just how horrible of a last name he had later. Now they needed to pick up Natsu and find Jellal
