(=^.^=)

Two girls, one boy.

My girls look exactly the same. Pink hair that reaches their waists, they never wanted to cut it, and had my caramel colored eyes. My first born is Jordyn and then her sister, Kylie.

Jordyn is more like me, not that loud, likes to read, and write her own stories, and is very caring towards her family.

Kylie? Well, she's another story. She's very crazy and loud. She eats all the food in the house, snores loudly and grids her teeth in her sleep. Sometimes, I hear her laughing in her sleep.

But, I love them anyway.

My son, Zayn has spiky blonde hair and onyx eyes. Just like his father. He's loud, but can be very shy quiet. He eats normally… sometimes. And he can snore loudly in his sleep, and then he will be quiet for the rest of the night. The only thing is that he has motion sickness. Not as bad as him but, still. He has it.

The three things they have in common; Strength. Protection. Loyalty.

And no, they don't have the same magic as me or him. Sure, they show signs of the power, but they decided that they wanted to use different magic.

Jordyn does animal magic. She summons animals from different dimensions to fight with her. Did you know that there was another dimension called "Earth"? That's where she gets the animals from. Kinda cool. Okay, majorly cool.

Kylie, her magic is… strangely beautiful: Dance Magic. She dances to a beat in her head (A/N OMG THE VOICES ARE BACK.) and the faster the beat the more dangerous the magic it gets. If the dance is slow, like a lullaby, it can heal cuts, bruises, and stuff like that and it bursts your magic/energy while she dances.

Zayn's magic, and I hate to say it, is pretty girl: Flower Magic. But hey, it's beautiful, and deadly. Most enemies don't know the difference between flowers. Some, just by smelling them, could kill you. And some can heal you, even on the brink of death. His magic has been proven useful in more ways than one. Oh, by the way, thorns from roses hurt like a bitch!

For 13 year olds, they're pretty strong. Stronger than I was when I was 18. They probably got the strength, protection, and loyalty from him.

I've gotten stronger, too. It's not like I was sitting on my ass for 13 years. Hell no. I've trained hard, and I got all 12 zodiac keys! Plus, the mysterious thirteen key. I increased my magic power and can now open 3 or 4, sometimes 5 if I'm lucky, keys at the same time.

"Mom?" I looked over to see Jordyn's worried face, "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh yes, I'm fine. Just… thinking" I said.

For the past few years, we stayed in east Fiore, over by the border. It takes nine hours to get to Magnolia, and Zayn wasn't having the best of times.

So, to end his suffering, I had Kylie knock him out. He doesn't stay out that long, usually only for an hour or two. Then, Kylie will have the joy of punching him again.

I worry about that girl sometimes.

"Lucy? Do you really want to go back?" asked Rose. Rose was our very own exceed. Kylie had found her egg one day. I was surprised that her egg hasn't hatched yet. Rose was a very pretty rose pink color with a white belly and the end of her tail was a very light pink, it was almost white.

She's very… energetic, like Kylie. She loves fish. I think more than Happy does. Her little catch phrase would be 'Check!' like Happy's 'Aye!'.

We had also recently found another egg. Jordyn had found this one. We're waiting for it to hatch before we can decipher what color it is. The outside is orange and white, so we're guessing it's that color.

"I don't know. I really don't know. I've been thinking about this for years, Rose. Probably since they turned 8 or 9."

"Mooooom, are we there yet? I'm booored!" Kylie whined. I knew this was coming.

"Almost, Kylie. Two more hours. Oh… My… God…! TWO MORE HOURS?" Now I was freaking out. Only two more hours until I see my old team again.

"Breathe, Mom. Breeeathe." Kylie said, over and over. Poor girl, she kept saying that and a minute later she fell asleep. Rose and Jordyn just rolled their eyes. I laughed quietly.

~Time Skip~

We just got off the train at the train station of Magnolia. Rose was carrying Kylie and I was carrying Zayn. I was shaking I was so nervous. Right now we need to find a house to sleep in before we go to the guild.

A few years back, I wrote to Mrs. Landlady and told her that she could sell my apartment, since I need more space, and that I don't know how much longer I'd be gone. So at the moment, I have over 300,000,000J. So much, I know. I saved up all the money from jobs me and the kids did. We only spent money when we needed to.

I wonder how the guild has been for the past 13 years since I left…..

(=^.^=)MEOW!

"Great news, guys!" I announced, "Lisanna and I are dating!" Silence…and then cheering erupted all over the guild.

"GOD JOB, NATSU! YOU'RE A MAN!" Elfman exclaimed.

There were only two people not cheering; Lucy and Gajeel. The latter was staring wide eyed at Lucy, not even noticing Levy talking to him. Gajeel sniffed the air and turned to glared at me.

What the fuck? I thought.

Lucy walked up to us, smiled and said "Congrats Natsu, and Lisanna. Have a nice life." And she left.

At the moment, I didn't know that that would be the last time I saw her.

A few weeks past and Lucy hasn't been seen once. Some guild members thought she killed herself.

"Ne, Mira? Where's Lucy?" Happy asked.

"I don't know. You know, I haven't gotten a note from her in a few days…" she murmured. Everyone was staring at her wide-eyed. "What?"

"Mira, what do you mean that 'you haven't gotten a note'?" Erza asked.

"Well, every other day, I'll come in and there will be a note on the bar from Lucy. It usually says that she's gone on a mission and she'll be back soon." Mira smiled.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Gray yelled.

"She didn't want me to. It clearly stated 'Don't tell anyone'. So I didn't. Until now…" She said.

"And she hasn't left one in a few days, correct?" asked Erza.

"Yes. And I'm actually getting quite worried."

"Should we go see if she's at her apartment?" I asked.

"Aye!" Happy said happily. ;)

Happy led the way out with Erza, Levy, Gray, and me following behind.

"Natsu! I thought we were going to go on a mission," Lisanna said, whining from next to the request board.

"We will, I just gotta check Luce's apartment, we'll go when I come back," I said.

"But I'm your girlfriend! I come beforeher." She spat out 'her'.

"Lisanna, we haven't seen Lucy in weeks. I have the right to know if my best friend is alive." I retorted angrily.

"She can be DEAD for all I care! You're supposed to support me and not your slut of a friend!" She shrieked at me.

A gasp sounded through the entire guild. Gray had a look on his face like he'd been slapped twice. Erza had her sword out and look ready to chop Lisanna's head off.

"She is NOT a SLUT!" I shouted back at her.

She took a step back; she was scared shitless of me. I knew that fire danced around my body. Big, red, angry flames threatening to engulf the whole guild. "Just leave me alone and NEVER talk to me again!" I yelled.

Tears freely fell down from her eyes and down her cheeks. She knew she had gone too far.

I turned and walked out the doors, ignoring the frantic Lisanna calling my name.

Walking to Lucy's apartment was awkward and quiet.

We got there and, guess what, Lucy wasn't there. Instead we found a note from her:

To whom it may concern,

I left. No reason to tell.

I may, or may not, come back.

Not decided yet.

I might.

So…

Be prepared for…

Surprises?

Yeah, surprises I guess.

Oh, and Miss Landlady, I'll be sending my rent money once a month.

Don't bother looking for me, or replying, there will be no return address,

Also, I will not be staying in place for the next few…. Years? Months?

Who knows?

Maybe, if there is, God.

~L.H.

"LUUCY! NO!" I screamed.

Levy was crying buckets and ran out of the tiny apartment, probably back to Gajeel. The two have grown close lately.

That was 13 years ago, tomorrow.

13 years ago, I lost my best friend. She left the guild and never came back. The guild has never been the same.

Gray and I have stopped fighting. Gray's habit of stripping lessened. Erza ate more and more cake. Levy has never left Gajeel's side, the two also started dating.

Lisanna and I made up, and are still dating. But, I think that might end soon, too. I've realized that I only love her in a sister way, but I realized that too late. Only 12 years ago.

Couples started, marriage started, families started. So much has happened since Lucy had left.

We deeply missed her.

Every year, July 14, the guild will go dark, hoping for Lucy to open those doors and hug us all.

Lucy, please come back. I miss you. I need you.

(=^.^=)

We found a really nice house by the beach. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big living room, a nice kitchen, and a finished attic and basement. Kylie and Jordyn are sharing a room while Zayn gets his own room. It has 2 stories (not counting the attic and basement).

Rose and the new egg are going to sleep with Jordyn and Kylie in their room.

We bought all new furniture, clothes, shoes, make-up, and a bunch of food.

After setting everything up, it was almost midnight.

"Okay kids, time for bed. We'll go to the guild tomorrow." I smiled sadly looking at my hand.

"Mom?" Jordyn asked me.

"Hm?" I hummed. Not looking up.

"You don't have to go back, ya know. " Kylie said, while yawning.

"But I want to. And remember to wear your cloaks. I don't want them to know I have kids." I said.

"Mom, are you ashamed of us?" Zayn asked.

"Of course not! Don't worry; you'll reveal yourself later to them." I smiled.

"Okay! Time for bed, my little ducklings." They giggled and hugged me goodnight. I kissed each of their foreheads and pushed them up to bed. "I love you."

"Love you, too, Mom" they all said at the same time.

Little creepy…

~Next Morning~

Oh, god. I'm so nervous. What if they don't remember me? What it-

"Mom, stop. You're going to give you're self a panic attack. Calm down. We don't have to go." Jordyn said.

"No, no. I'm not freaking out. Come on, let's go!" I said grabbing my keys and walking out the door.

They all sighed, at the same time, again.

My little freaks.

We walked down the street, people staring at me whispering.

"Isn't that Lucy of Fairy Tail?"

"I heard she went missing 13 years ago. Today is the anniversary."

"She left her guild for no reason, what a bitch!"

My kids trailed behind me, cloaks covering their faces. Jordyn, Kylie, and Zayn. In order if their birth. They really are my little ducklings.

We reached the guild doors.

It was dark inside, but was open.

The triplets grabbed my hands a squeezed.

"Remember, I love you and I always will" I whispered to them.

"We know; we love you too, Mom" What's with them and saying stuff in union?

I opened the doors.

Everyone looked up at me and gasped.

"Surprise?" I said.
