"What the hell was that for, Laxus?" Natsu roared at him.

"How dare you kiss my wife!?" He roared louder. He was pissed and by the look things he wasn't going to let up on Natsu any time soon.

Cana spit out her beer and dropped her barrel. Mira dropped a glass she had been cleaning and everyone else's jaws fell open except the new members.

"You're what?" Erza asked pointing a sword at Laxus.

"Erza, calm down. It's fine. I willingly married Laxus." I said in fear of the Titania's wrath.

She shifted her glare over to me. "Prove it." Came her scary reply.

Laxus didn't waste time. He swiftly picked me up and crushed his lips to mine. I wanted to go home at that very moment. Stop it, Lucy! Don't think like that!

"I suppose that's that, then." Erza stated quietly when Laxus and I broke apart.

The Master grinned. "When am I getting grand-grandchildren?"

I deadpanned. "Not yet, Master."

Laxus looked at me and smiled brightly. "What no kids?" He cackled loudly.

"It's not funny, Laxus!" I yelled. I puffed up my cheeks in anger.

"You're right. Sorry, babe." He smirked.

I crossed my arms over my chest. "Meanie."

The guild smiled at our little banter. Erza had put her sword away and Mira picked up the now shattered glass. Master was giggling like an old fart. Laxus laughed with real happiness. I am truly where I belong.

"What the hell? No, I figured out that you were lying about that two years ago. Lucy's a sweet girl, she wouldn't team up with a monster like you. What did you do to MY LUCY!?" Natsu shouted.

"I fell in love with him, Natsu. Deal with it. You were the one who heartlessly kicked me out of the team. I loved you at one point in time, Natsu. But like Laxus said to years ago, 'don't go break into a girl's house after you've broken her heart and confess your love to her.' I moved on, now you should do the same. Look around you, Natsu. Freed and Mira are engaged, Lisanna and Gray are together, Levy and Gajeel love each other, but they won't admit it." Each couple blushed furiously. I continued on. "We've all grown up, whereas you, are still a child." I retorted.

He glared at me. "You even smell different."

"She's mine, don't get any stupid ideas." Laxus growled.

"You know as well as I do, Laxus, it's a test of strength." Natsu glared. "It's all about dominance."

"That's true but that's when it's over other creatures, such as humans," I answered. "Luckily, I'm a Dragon-Slayer. We're equal."

Laxus smirked while I glanced at the overly-shocked guild members.

"There's a cute Dragon-Slayer!" Someone yelled.

"Watch it," Laxus snarled. "You don't want to cross me."

"Laxu, stop it. I'm not going anywhere." I leaned against him.

"Right." He answered, cooling down.

"Tell me, what do you mean by dominance?" Gray asked curiously.

"Well, I think Laxus, knows more on this." I smiled up at him.

"Uh, well. I overpowered her and marked her as my mate then we went to Tenroujima and got married in front of Mavis' grave."

Understanding their curious looks, I pulled my hair back and revealed the dragon holding a lightning bolt encased in a circle.

"Oh, Lu-chan. It's so pretty." Levy sighed happily.

"Ah, thanks for reminding me, Laxus has rejoined the guild. Also, the S-Class exam participants are Cana Alberona, Elfman Strauss, Evergreen, Freed Justine, Lucy Dreyar, Wendy Marvell, Gray Fullbuster, Lisanna Strauss, and Juvia Lockser. This year the S-Class wizards will be part of the test, they are, Erza Scarlet, Mira-Jane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, and taking the place of Guildarts Clive, our newest S-Class wizard, Natsu Dragneel." Master said loudly.

I glared at Natsu. "You became an S-Class wizard, then."

He huffed at me. "That's what he just said, didn't he?"

"I'm happy for you. You've finally achieved one of your goals." I smiled shyly.

"Don't act like we're still friends after what you just said to me." He walked passed me and Laxus and stormed out of the place.

"Don't worry about him, Lucy. He just got back from a pretty rough S-Class job. He's pretty torn up over it." Gray said quietly.

"Welcome home, Lucy." Lisanna said. She was holding Gray's hand tightly.

"Welcome home, you two." Erza smiled. She was still wearing her typical silver armor.

Laxus swung his arm around my shoulders. "Just say the words, Gramps."

"Let's Party!" Master shouted.

That one's a little long! How do you like it? Let me know! -SFL
