Heyyyyyy! The story… Is nearly… done! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I think the next chapter is the last one… So dang sad… Anyways, from here on out, it's set 10 years later… I know, that's ages but bear with me! And this chapter was supposed to be posted 2 days ago and it wasn't. I actually posted it but something happened and it didn't work! I went on today to post the last chapter and the site told me there was only 20 chapters! So I shall post the last chapter sometime today. Enjoy!
Disclaimer- I don't own Fairy Tail and I'll probably never will… Does that make sense?
~ 10 Years Later ~
"But Mama! I want to go see Uncle Natsu! Please!" Ryuu begged.
Lucy sighed. "I'm sorry Ryuu… but you can't. He's in Magnolia and we're in Crocus. And he has to go to work as well."
"But it's the weekend!" He whined.
This kid is just like Natsu…
"Well… I'll see what I can do. For now, go have a shower and brush your teeth. Breakfast will be ready soon." She ruffled his blonde hair.
"Don't forget about cutting my hair today Mama."
"Oh yea… Don't worry honey." Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Ryuu! Can you go get that for me?"
"Yep!" The little boy was already running to the door. "Uncle Natsu! You're here!"
Lucy dropped the wooden spoon on the ground. She turned off the stove and ran into the hallway.
"Natsu…" Lucy hugged the pink-haired male.
"Hey Luce…"
"You live 2 hours away! What are you doing here?!"
"I came here to see you and Ryuu of course! Am I allowed to take this little rascal out today?" Natsu smiled.
"Yea. Of course. I've just got to give him a haircut first. Come in and have breakfast with us." Lucy dragged him into the kitchen.
"Natsu! My man! I still haven't repaid you after all these years!" Sting hugged him.
"You say that every time I see you. Don't worry about it."
They all sat down and began to eat. The phone rang and Lucy stood up to get it but her son beat her to it.
"Hello this is Ryuu Eucliffe speaking. Uncle Jellal! Yep! Just give me a second." Ryuu put the phone on the table. "Mama! Uncle Jellal wants to speak with you."
"Ok honey." She stood up and picked the phone off the table. "Jellal! Haven't heard from you in so long! How's your wife doing?"
"Who Erza? She's doing wonderful. How's Ryuu doing? My children are driving me insane!"
"Hahaha. Ryuu is doing great. Why did you call?"
"Well… I have news that will make your day."
"Well tell me already!"
"Is Natsu there?"
"How did you know?"
"I can tell that's his eating any day. Put the phone on loud speaker."
"Sure." She pressed the button. "Fire away Jellal."
"Natsu Dragneel. How's life treating you?"
"Jellal! I've missed you man! It's been good. You?"
"Great… Now listen up Lucy, Natsu. Gramps called me last night."
"Gramps?!" The 2 exclaimed.
"Yea… Gramps… It surprised me too. But what's even more surprising is he wants FT Delinquents to play one more time for the finals in Fiore Band Battles. Just as special guests and stuff like that. How does that sound Gajeel? Gray?"
"You guys are there too?" Lucy smiled and loved how things never changed.
"Mama? What's FT Delinquents?" Ryuu asked.
"It was the band I was in… We were the best." Lucy almost burst out into tears.
"That's great! When do we get together for practise?" Natsu chuckled.
"Just as eager as I remembered Salamander."
"How about next week? They're giving us a whole month like they used to." Jellal laughed.
"Gajeel! How's your little bookworm doing?" Lucy sighed.
"Shrimp hasn't changed a bit… Besides from a massive belly. I hope we have a son… She's still short though, hasn't grown a bit."
Lucy laughed as she heard a solid smack sound.
"Lu-chan! I haven't spoken to you in so long!" Levy wailed.
"Levy-chan… We spoke on the phone last night, silly…"
"This seems like a good opportunity to get back together with your friends darling." Sting nodded.
"I guess it's settled then. We'll meet you guys in Music Room 22. I'll see you then." They said their good-byes and Lucy hung up the phone. She sighed contently.
"What's the matter, Mama?"
"I just miss the old times…" Tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
"Luce. Don't worry about it. You were always the cry baby. And thanks for the breakfast. I'll do the dishes." Natsu packed up everything and began washing the dishes.
"Ok! I'm off to work! Love you Ryuu, Lucy." Sting kissed their foreheads and waved goodbye to Natsu.
Lucy walked up the stairs with Ryuu to cut his hair. Ryuu sat on a small chair in the bathroom while Lucy sat on a higher chair.
Cutting his blonde hair, she got to the back of his neck and nearly dropped the scissors. There was a small tuft of pink hair. She usually asked Mira to cut Ryuu's hair so she had never noticed it before. Lucy bit her lip and cut the salmon bit, making sure the blonde hair was long enough to cover it.
He has Natsu and his personality… And now his hair…
"Ryuu! Are you ready to go?" Natsu called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Is it finished Mama?"
Lucy nodded. "Now go get changed."
Natsu walked up the stairs and stopped at the doorway, frowning at Lucy.
"I'm ready to go Uncle!" Ryuu exclaimed, snapping Natsu out of his daze.
"Oh! Um… Yea… Let's go, see you later Luce!"
"See ya…"
"Hello everybody! The golden oldies are back!" Natsu shouted into the microphone.
This feels so nostalgic… being back in this atmosphere… Everybody thought.
"First up, we would just like to say, good luck and congratulations to the 2 bands that will be battling it out tonight. You guys rock! Now without further ado, welcome Natsu Dragneel!" Lucy introduced. Sting and Ryuu cheered from the audience.
"Hey everyone! It's good to be back one last time. Now take it away guys!"
This one's for you Ryuu…
(A/N The chorus to this song is perfect for Natsu to be singing to Ryuu!)

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
"Peace out guys! I'll be back later!" Natsu laughed. "Now it's time for Gajeel to show his stuff!"
"Hey… I've sung this song already on this stage but one last time ain't gonna hurt." Gajeel smiled at his sister and his wife.

Let's go
With blood shot eyes I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
The moments die, I hear no screaming
The visions left inside me are slowly fading
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Ow yeah
This battered room I've seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I'm choking
Will this ever end? I'm hoping
My world is over one more time
Would she hear me if I called her name?
Would she hold me if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone fucking hanging on
Can anybody help me make things better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
"Natsu is back guys!" He jumped around on the stage. "Now let's go!"

There's gotta be another way out
I've been stuck in a cage with my doubt.
I've tried forever getting out on my own
Every time I do this my way
I get caught in the lies of the enemy.
I lay my troubles down
I'm ready for you now.
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down,
I don't wanna fight alone anymore.
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God, I need a hope I can't deny.
In the end I'm realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own.
Every little thing that I've known is everything I need to let go
Your so much bigger than the world I have made
So I surrender my soul, I'm reaching out for your hope.
I lay my weapons down
I'm ready for you now.
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down,
I don't wanna fight alone anymore.
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God, I need a hope I can't deny.
In the end I'm realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own.
I don't wanna be incomplete
I remember what you said to me
I don't have to fight alone.
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I'm breaking down,
I don't wanna fight alone anymore.
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God, I need a hope I can't deny.
In the end I'm realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own.
"Now welcoming Lucy Heartfilia!"
"Woo! It's so crazy being out here after 10 years… Things never change! Hope you enjoy!"

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
(Chorus)
I have died every day
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
"And for our last song, Natsu Dragneel will be performing a Korean song translated into English."
"I'm back again! And I guess Lucy said it all! Take it away guys, for the last time." Natsu nodded and smiled at his mates.

Some say it ain't over till it's over
But I guess it's really over now
There's something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen...
Can't believe what's goin' on
Gotta keep my cool, be calm
When I heard you and he was screamin' out of control
All I can think about is "No, no, no... he won't
hurt the one I've cared for so long, long... Hell, no."
I know we're done, and now it's none of my concern but how
can two be windin' out from only weeks in goin' out
Just makes me feel that what we had was real
Could it be or is it too late? (Oh, oh baby)
***chorus
Baby!
Listen to your heart, won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
Now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
I was never perfect no
But I'd never let it go to a point I'm ragin', throwin' making you uncomfortable
What he didn't, did to you was unacceptable
You claimed everything was okay. That's impossible
Just know I'm here for you
All clear for you from night to sun
God, I've been near to you, the feel of you gives me a rush
It makes me feel that what we have is real
It could never be too late oh yeah yeah
***chorus
Baby!
Listen to your heart, won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
Now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
Baby girl you won't regret
Come along just take my hand
Let's start this journey livin' life so beautiful
This happy hope that we spread, love and see
It goes deeper so deep from my heart (Whoa oh oh oh oh)
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
Never let go... never let go
oh yeah
"Thank you everybody and goodnight! FT Delinquents out!" The band exclaimed together.
Dang… I'll miss these days…
Ok! The last chapter is next up!
"Natsu… If I don't make it… Thank you for everything… I… I love you… rememb-" Her hand dropped from his face.
Well shit is going down next chapter… Hella sad if I say so myself. I've planned this from the beginning… I actually wrote the last chapter first because I knew what I wanted. Anyways, see ya next time!
