Day 3: Dream
Lucy looked at the ring on her left hand and smiled. Laxus had asked her yesterday to marry him. 'A big wedding, with a long white dress.' She thought thinking of what she had told her mom was her dream wedding when she was young.
"Come on Lu-chan! Show us!" Levy demanded almost jumping in her eagerness.
Lucy smiled and showed the girls her ring. "KAWAII!" Mira yelled as her eyes shined with stars, probably thinking about the babies. Erza smiled, looked over at Laxus, and nodded to him. Levy squealed and grabbed Lucy's arm pulling her out of the guild the rest of the girls following.
"Wait! Where are we going?" Lucy asked trying to keep up with the bookworms fast pace.
"The dress shop, the flower shop, the cake shop!" Levy listed still pulling her best friend.
"We haven't even decided a date yet!" Lucy tried to explain but it fell on deaf ears as her guild mates dragged her to all the different shops around town. Lucy finally just shrugged and smiled. She had always wanted to go wedding shopping with a group of girls for her wedding. Now her dream was coming true.
"What are you thinking Star?" Laxus inquired from beside her later that evening as they sat in their living room together on the couch.
"Just about all the dreams I had as a child when I thought about my wedding." Lucy shrugged.
"Like what?" he inquired.
"Well, like I always wanted to go shopping with a group of girlfriends, since I was always alone. And I always wanted a long white dress, and it would be a big wedding." Lucy listed for him.
"So, are most of your dreams coming true then?" he asked. If not he would do everything in his power to make them come true for his love, his Star.
"Most of them are." She nodded. "Some can't happen, and I know that. And then others I still have to find out if their possible or not."
"Which ones aren't possible?" he asked.
"Well, when my mom was alive, I always wanted my dad to give me away. But that can't happen, so then my next choice was always Aquarius. But that can't happen either."
"Why Aquarius? Doesn't a man usually give the bride away?"
"Usually yes. But other than my dad, she was the closest thing I had to family." Lucy explained and Laxus nodded filing that away for later.
"What about ones that you aren't sure are possible?" he asked then.
"All my spirits, or at least my Zodiac spirits being there." Lucy told him.
"Can't they come on their own power?" he asked her.
She shook her head. "Loke, Virgo, and a few other Zodiacs can. But not even all Zodiacs have that power. Let alone the silver keys like Lyra and Krux. Why are you so interested anyway Sparky?"
"What, I can't be interested in your dreams Star?" he asked feigning hurt.
"You can." She assured him. "But it's just not normal for you."
"Just let it go Star. And just trust me when I say I'm always interested in your dreams." He convinced her.
The day of their wedding came, and Laxus checked with Loke, "Is everything set?" he asked as he fixed his tux.
"Yes, everyone is seated and she's waiting just outside the church doors." Loke assured him.
"Good." Laxus nodded. He had talked to Loke who talked to the spirit king and worked out a way for 2 of Lucy's dreams to come true.
Lucy walked out expecting to see Master who Laxus had said offered to walk her down the aisle. But instead saw a mermaid spirit she had been missing standing waiting for her.
"I can't believe you ever got a boyfriend when you make that stupid face every time you're surprised." Aquarius quipped from where she waited.
"Aquarius?" Lucy asked still half sure it was some kind of weird vision.
"That blonde man loves you and is strangely persistent. I've been allowed to come for this day by the spirit king. As well as all your other spirits." Aquarius told her just as the doors opened.
When everyone stood and Lucy saw the front row usually reserved for family filled with all her spirits including Krux and Lyra she beamed in happiness. And when she finally reached Laxus and turned to look at everyone she saw that Loke and Aries sat together each holding a picture on their laps. Loke holding a picture of her dad and Aries holding her mom, with a small doll held between them. Her doll.
The whole wedding was a blur to Lucy. The only thing she remembered was when Mavis said 'you may now kiss the bride' and Laxus kissed her.
'Mom,' she thought later. 'This is the love of my life, and he's made every dream of mine come true.'
