Later that day, Lucy was on the road when her phone went off. "Hello?" she answered putting her phone on speaker. "Ms. Lucy. it's Amanda. The recording label" "Oh, hi Ms Amanda, what can I do for you?" "Can you meet me at the airfield?" "Sure, what time?" "Now" "Now?" she thought hesitantly. "Ms. Lucy?" Shaking it off, she shook her head and said "sure, I'm on my way now" as straight as she could without letting her nerves get the best of her. "There's no way I'm going now. It can't be" She thought as she hung up and drove. Once she got there, she walked out and noticed a jet with Amanda standing next to it. "Are you ready?" "Huh? now! But I.." her brain flashed back to Natsu. "It's now or never" "I don't get a chance to say anything to my boyfriend" she said sadly. "I'm sorry but we don't have time so please climb aboard..you can have your dream if you want" stated Amanda. "Why the push..I mean I thought at the very least i would have a chance to say goodbye." "I'll explain on the plane, please grab your things if you have them." Regretfully, she grabbed her suitcase and boarded the plane. Once she was sitting down and in the air, she took out her phone when it was snatched out of her hands. "Hey!, give that back" she demanded. "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that" "Why?" she asked suspiciously. " A client paid for everything as long as you didn't use your phone to contact Natsu Dragneel."
"Hmph, yeah I wonder" she said smugly crossing her arms in disgust and anger. "Just think about your career. You don't need a man" "He's not just a man. He's my everything" Lucy snapped at her. "Natsu" she thought sadly. "He's going to be heartbroken. Natsu was on his way home when his phone went off. He looked at the caller I.D with contempt and anger. "What the hell do you want?" "She's gone Natsu. Lucy" "What are you talking about mom?" his anger rising. "Lucy. She's on a plane right now going across the country" she said completely devoid of emotions. Natsu turned his car sharply and squeaked into his driveway. "What the fuck are you talking about, what did you do! mother" he said with an intense growl. "She's on to do her dream, that is what she wanted isn't it?. Well now she can do that and you can move on..and don't try to contact her. Her phone was disconnected." The phone shook in hand taking all his will not to smash it. "Listen to me you fucking bitch, Do not ever call me again. You are dead to me" Before she could give a smart retort, he threw the phone and smashed it on the ground. "FUCK!' he screamed. "Tonight was the night ..Lucy" he cried looking at the sunset. She looked out the plane window. "Natsu"
Five years later
He lazily slumped onto his couch looking at the ceiling. "Wonder how your doing Luce. Did you meet anyone there?" He let out a sigh as she continued to look up. "It hasn't been the same since you left. You were it for me baby. The one" he thought as his phone buzzed with a message.
Hey Natsu, wanna go out with me tonight, there's a concert in the park-Lisanna
He rolled his eyes. "What the hell else do I have to do" he said out loud as he lazily typed whatever, sure" Yay, , see you at six, my love. "My love?" he thought bewildered. "I haven't gone out but maybe once and I didn't consider that a date..psh better get ready" he thought grumpily getting himself up and ready to go.
Meanwhile
"Finally get to go home. It's been wonderful in Europe but I'm ready to go and visit home. Hopefully he hasn't forgotten me...Natsu" she thought as her plane landed and her with her bandmates all got off the plane and piled into a bus. "You excited Lucy?" "Oh yes, I've missed home" "Well, we'll be here for a while. Finally a break from everything." "I forgot you guys are from here too" "Yup" "Just can't wait" she told herself. Natsu came at six like he said. He walked over to a very enthusiastic Lisanna who slung her arm through his. "Oh jeeze" he thought as he rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's get a drink and grab our seats" she told him as they walked to get some and then grabbed their seats. "Isn't this fun" "It hasn't even started yet Lisanna" "Natsu...would you consider being my boyfriend?" "Huh?!" he said starting to say something else but the crowd started cheering and it distracted Lisanna. ""Thank goodness" he thought relieved. As the curtain went up, he took a sip of his drink until he looked at who was on the stage. He spit out his drink and shot out of his seat. "LUCY!" he said through coughs as he looked at her smiling. "Hey Magnolia!, I'm home. I know it's been a while but I'm here and ready to sing" Her band started their instruments as she began to sing.
Avril lavigne (skater boy)
He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
he was a punk
Natsu couldn't look away the whole time as he stood standing during the whole song. As it ended, he detected sadness in her voice. He heard her sing enough and knew her so he knew when she was hiding something. "Thanks everyone!" she yelled to the audience after the first hour , for it was break time. She waved to everyone and went backstage. He took the chance to slip through the crowd and into the back where Lucy was sitting on a bench looking at the stars with a coffee in her hands. "Of course, she would look at the stars " he thought happily as he saw her. "Guess it was too much to hope for" she mumbled to herself. "Nice job out there" she heard. "Thanks." "If you don't mind my saying , sounded like you got said through your first song" "It brought back some painful memories" "Well the guy sounds like a fool" "You have no idea" she snapped angrily without turning. "Please leave me alone" she asked as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Nice job Luce" he said quietly as she stood up quickly hearing him. She slowly turned around and covered her mouth. "Natsuu" she cried happily. "Hey baby" She threw her arms dropping her coffee as she ran to him who embraced her with open arms. "I missed you so much Natsu!" her cried turned into sobs as he held her. "I missed you too Luce" he said warmly. "I hate being away from you but" "My mother" he said sharply cutting her off. "Huh?" "My mother..she was the reason I couldn't go, why you couldn't contact me and why you couldn't come back. She's not an issue anymore though. I stopped having any contact and whatever relationship we had on that day five years ago." "I'm so sorry Natsu" her voice full of guilt. "Psh, baby don't be sorry. I'm not. I'm completely free and free to be with whoever I choose" Surprised she said "you mean it?" "Yes, I'm still yours Lucy. Always will be" She let out a sound of joy as he chuckled and put a finger under her chin. They looked at each other as their faces got closer together until they heard people making them groan. "Hey Lucy!" "We wondered where you went too" "Whose this?" was asked as a group of guys had come walking out.
She felt his arm tighten protectively around her as she softly grabbed his arm. "It's alright baby, I promise" she said as she turned towards the guys. "Hey guys" she greeted sweetly. "You alright Lucy?" "I'm great actually" "Who is this?" asked one of them pointing to Natsu who was ready to defend Lucy if he needed too. "This is...he's my fiancee Natsu" "WHAT!" they all exclaimed surprised. Even Natsu gave her a puzzled look. "Yup, we kept the engagement a secret because we didn't want anyone to ruin it." She explained as if it were nothing. "Damn, way to think of something on the fly but I did not expect her to go with finacee..not that I mind it" he thought to himself. "Right Natsu?" she asked getting his attention. "Absolutely" he answered giving her neck a kiss before making her giggle. "It's nice to see her smile" "Yeah, you haven't smiled like that before" Blushing she said "its because I'm with my other half" Natsu's face turned a soft pink. " Oh, Natsu, meet my bandmates Gray, Jellal and Gajeel." "Nice to meet you Natsu, I know she loves you or she would not be smiling like that." said Gray. The two of them looked and smiled at each other as Gray said that until Natsu heard "Natsuuuuuu" "Oh god" he groaned as Lucy looked at him with a curious look.
