The wedding was in few days. Lucy was busy with her life with the preparations her friends-family. Well it doesn't really matter whatever they chose. She just go with the flow. Her dream about getting a princess marriage with her prince charming wad gone long ago.
She had millions of dreams about getting married to the love of her life but since Loke rejected her she's left with nothing. Her trust in love was finished. Marriage always end up into divorce or into mistakes. Couple don't last forever but afterwards seeing Levy happy with Gajeel her faith was restored.
Matbe there was hope. This wedding was not about love but her relationship with Natsu wasn't plain either. There was some kind of trust and comfort between them. He understands her like she's with him. So it wasn't a big deal. He was out of Fiore to deal with sone important business deal. She would choose thing and sent all pictures to him. He wouldn't show any kind of displeasure about anything. If she is happy he will agree with it.
She had selected a red velvet wedding cake and the seating plan was decided for wedding venues. Food, preparation was done by Levy. Lucy didn't really cares about musical events and things. Just one thing remains now.
Her wedding dress. She had millions of dreams about her gown but here she was in the boutique shop with her mother and Levy selecting a gown. Bridesmaids dress were decided by Cana, Erza and Levy all remaining was wedding gown.
The workers was paying extremely attention to her. Natsu had informed them to take care of her every need and bill should be transferred to his accounts.
She looked around many beautiful gowns just like a fairytale.
"I can't believe Lu chan you are going to get married." Levy informed her. She really liked her life with freedom.
Marriage was likely a boundary you have to sacrifice few things in life. Because its not just about your own anymore. You get tied to other person too. Who was supposed to be your other half.
"My baby is grown up. I can't believe." Layla gave her emotional hug. Lucy embraced her mother back. She really missed her carefree days.
"Lets decide the gown." Levy clapping enthusiastically. Lucy gave her small smile and turns to look at the range. She wasn't able to decide about it.
"Hey how about this?" Levy held up a loose number that was a lovely white colour.
"Cool," Lucy said before noticing the neck had a wide 'V' neck and the back was wide open. "Ah, maybe not," she said pointing to the neck and then the back when she turned it around.
"Too revealing," Lucy agreed before putting the dress back on the rack.
They were silent for at least 5 minutes before Levy returned in the dress that she had been told to try on.
"It's too tight!" Lucy whined.
"What size is it?" I asked.
"Does it look likely I checked the size?" Lucy snapped it was the only gown which she thought was decent. Not the one yet.
Levy went around the back of Lucy to check the size of the dress.
"No wonder! It's extra small," Lucy said.
"Here's a bigger one," Levy said handing Lucy the next size up. Lucy headed back to the change rooms and silence fell.
"Can I help you with something?" asked a boutique lady
"Hi. Ah yes, we do need a bit of help, thanks," Lucy said with a gentle smile. "We are looking for a dress that's loose but not too loose and not too revealing,"
"The lady looked from Lucy to Levy and back again.
"Hmm.. I must inform you that Mr. Dragneel has made an arrangement for you Ms Heartfilia. If you can't decide the gown then we must show you the one Mr. Dragneel picked for you."
Lucy was frozen like always he was her saviour. She was emotional when she nodded her head. The lady smiled and walked inside and took out the dress.
Lucy was mesmerized when she saw the off shoulder dress it was simply elegant not much revealing, loose or unfit.
Lucy tried the deess. It was perfect and hugs her curves in accurate places.
"It fits perfectly," Lucy smiled for the first time in ages. She did a spin and felt like she was on cloud nine. This was the one she's looking for.
"Great choice," Levy said looking at her. Lucy saw her mother was tear stricken face.
"Mom" she hugged her mother and wiped her tears away.
"Oh my baby just beautiful." Layla kisses her forehead.
Lucy was checking herself when Layla took her pictures secretly and send it to Natsu.

"Sir we had decided to expand the shipping process in the middle sea with ishaghar." Kianna reported to him.
"What about the business deal with Crocas port shipping details?" Natsu asked in deep gruffly voice.
"Yes sir we are working on it." Kai replied with nervous smile.
They were working for one of the biggest company in Magnolia and everyone knew that Natsu Dragneel wasn't just one of young billionaire. He worked hard and reached this spot today. He was merciless, ruthless man in business world. He wasn't afraid to fire lousy people.
Kai knew his job was over. When he saw the anger surfacing on Mr. Dragneel's face.
Natsu was about to explode when his mobile beeping stopped him. He saw Layla's name was shown on lockscreen notifications.
He glared at hus accounts chief and opened the message.
His heart skipped a beat. He zoomed the picture on her smile.
There was 30 seconds video attached with it. He clicked and saw the sweetest thing in the world.
Lucy spinning in gown likes a princess and smiling like a fairy. Her blonde hairs falling carelessly as a waterfall.
"Si-Sir." Kai called him with hesitant voice. He knew it was over.
"You have two days to finish the final report. Meeting adjourned." He stood with a satisfactory small ghist of smile on his face.
Everyone who attended the meeting was frozen. Were they dreaming?
Because they really saw Natsu gave someone second chance and smiled too. Even it was just a hint of a beautiful smile.
