A/N: Hey guys. Sorry if everything this chapter seemed anti climatic. I actually didn't plan on it taking 6 chapters. I was planning on five but, see how that worked. There i maybe /i an epilogue. Thank you guys for reading. Even though the story is done, don't be scared to review. I will welcome all comments.
"If you touch a single hair on Lucy's head" I threatened through the bag. "Oh don't worry, she will be fine" I heard a deep voice chuckle. I struggled and felt a punch to my stomach. My vision was going black. The car had stopped.
The guy who put his hand on my shoulder, pushed me out of the car. The bag came off quickly and there stood Jude Heartfilia. Someone pushed me on my knees. I heard thumping from the limo behind the blonde haired bastard. "Let Lucy go!" I demanded. Jude stared at me. "No. Lucy belongs with us. Her fiancée wants her back and I have already given Lucy to him" he said calmly. "No!" I yelled fighting the hands keeping me down. "Leave him here, we have what we came for" Sting ordered. A foot landed swiftly in my stomach as I passed out.
When I came to, the gang was standing above me. "Natsu, are you okay?" Levy asked. I coughed and spat blood. "They have Lucy" I said. The zip ties released and I took off. "Natsu!" Mira called.
I ran for hours on the Eucliffe side. I stopped at the church. "Lucy!" I yelled. The rain poured like the night we made love. "You shouldn't have run off flamebrain" I heard gray call. I was shaking. "They took her! I can't lose her too! That bastard is gonna marry her to sting" I yelled. "Easy, we will find Lucy. She will be fine" he told me. I stared at him and saw Gajeel arrive. "No one is gonna get bunny girl while we are watching" he said. "I will tear them apart"
Outside of a big mansion sat a familiar red car. "Why is my dad here?" I asked the two guys. "Backup" Gray grinned. My dad and Romeo joined us in the bushes. "What's the plan?" I heard my dad ask. "We need a distraction from the front. That's where you and Romeo come in Mr Dragneel. Gray, Natsu and I will get to the room that is supposed to be Lucy's"
Gajeel said pulling out blueprints and point to a room on the second floor. I smiled widely. "I'll be on the ground below the window as a look out. Gray you keep an ear on the door. Natsu, grab your girl" Gajeel ordered. "Aye sir!" I quietly saluted.
We all got into position. Dad and Romeo were dressed in suits and knocked on the door. We watched as a pink haired maid bowed and let them in. As the door closed, the three of us took off for the backside of the mansion. We rushed along the wall and found our way up. Gray and I shimmed our way up the columns and onto the balcony. "You are never going to see Natsu Dragneel again! Give your arm here!" I heard a man yell. "No! You're just jealous cause I found my soulmate and you haven't!" Lucy yelled. I heard muffled wrestling and saw Sting trying to get lucy's arm from her. "Get off" she yelled again.
Gray gave me a nod and when slipped in. In seconds, I wrapped my arm around Stings throat. Gray flitted to the door as Sting stopped fighting. Gray nodded and I walked over to Lucy. Even with tears in her eyes, she was still beautiful. "Hey, I'm her" I cooed softly. "Natsu?" She whispered touching my face. "Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded quickly. I kissed her deeply. "Come on, we are taking you away" I told her. "You can't Natsu, they will find me again" she panicked. A deep bellow roared from downstairs "you will her alone Jude or I will rip you apart myself!" I smiled. "I think dad's got that covered. Come on Gray, sounds like Negotiations have become extremely aggressive" I told my best friend. Gray nodded and backed away.
Just as Lucy and I made it to the edge of the balcony, we heard the door open. "St-?" Said a dark haired fellow. Gray pressed himself against the wall. "Lucy?" He asked. She ran over and hugged him "I'm sorry rouge but I don't belong here anymore." I saw the Dark haired guy smile. "I know go be happy and don't forget your friend Rouge" He said to her. She smiled at him and ran back to me. "Take care of her. She is like my little sister. I will find you and break your face if you break her heart" He told me. I waved "don't worry she is in good hands" I told Rouge. Gray ran to the balcony, scaring Rouge in the process. We climbed over and hid in the car.
After the door slamming on dad's car and a few miles, our cramped crew sat up. We laughed. "Where'd you get that plan?" I asked Gajeel. In midst of his gihi laughs, he paused. "I got it from a b rated action movie" he said. "I can't believe it work!" Gray said. "Neither can I!" Romeo said. "Tom cruise can suck it" Lucy cheered. We all started crying of laughter.
centerb A Year Later /b /center
Green graduation caps sat in neat rows on the school lawn. Stars had decorated one. I smiled with my mom and Wendy. Lucy did it. She graduated from University. Slowly each name was called. "Lucy Heartfilia" a loudspeaker called. Dad and I stood up clapping and beaming with pride. Lucy climbed the stairs and walked up. She grabbed her degree and shook hands. Stopping to take a picture, she smiled and threw a thumbs up. A chuckle escaped my throat. Classic Lucy.
After the hats coated the sky, I was tackled by a familiar blonde. "I did it!" She cried. I smiled and gave her a gentle kiss. "I knew you could" I whispered. Her face turned red. Mom got Wendy and Romeo to come over and take a picture. "Cheese!" We said. "What a good picture!" Mom squealed with delight. "Where do you want to go?" I asked Lucy. She tapped her chin a few times. "Do I even need to ask?" I chuckled interrupting her thinking.
I blindfolded Lucy as we pulled up in the Tahoe. Fairy Tail looked dark and empty. The way we've been planning for the past few weeks. Wendy and Romeo got out with mom and dad. "Lucy, take my hand" I told her. "What's going on?" She questioned. "You'll see" I told her. I lead her to the wooden door we walked through a million times. The bell gave away where we were. "Natsu, do I have to be blindfolded?" she protested. "Alright" I said slipping off the blindfold.
The lights flipped on and everyone popped out. "Happy graduation Lucy!" They yelled. Levy and Lucy had hugged each other. Jellal and Erza stood by waiting for their turn. Erza had a big belly and Jellal was fawning over it. Lucy hugged the pregnant redhead. She flitted from one person to another. All the while a little velvet box was burning a hole in my soul.
I look at the ring in the box while I was leaned up against the iron fence. The setting was a smaller version of the old drawings of the North Star. I heard Lucy clear her throat behind me and I snapped the box shut quickly. "Why aren't you in there arm wrestling one of the guys? Elfman got a the game going" she said chuckling. She leaned against the fence"Now why would I go and steal the spotlight from you?" I said to her tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. She smiled my smile. My heart was sent soaring for this blonde. We started stargazing what we could in the city. It was her favorite thing and it quickly became mine because of her face.
She got to the North Star when I cleared my throat. "Lucy Heartfilia, I've had a year to think about this," I started "you are perfect and wonderful. If you'd let me I would like to spend the rest of this life and the next with you." She looked confused "Natsu, you know you always will be" she commented. I kneeled down "But I would like to spend that time as your husband. Would you marry me?" I asked her pulling out the ring I was starting at 15 minutes ago. She nodded while wiping tears away. "Yes" she squeaked out. I slipped the ring on her finger and hugged her while spinning.
I kissed her and then yelled out "Guys! She said yes!" A cheer erupted from within the glowing doors. "I told you!" Gray yelled. "Shut it Elsa!" I countered. Everyone laughed and began to spill onto the patio. Everyone congratulated Lucy and immediately Mom, Levy, Lucy and Wendy started planning a wedding. I laughed and hugged Gajeel, Gray and my dad. I saw Mira and Laxus standing in the doorway smiling. Elfman even smiled brighter.
Lucy didn't just fix me. She fixed everyone. She really was the one.
