Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

Natsu's POV

I had had my suspicions about that Ashley girl since I met her, but had made sure not to get my hopes up. I knew that the chances were slim. But now that she was standing in front of me, singing with me, I had never felt more hopeful in my entire life.

"Oh ooh oh, two voices, one song." We finished together. I couldn't help but stare at her in shock.

While I was standing there like an idiot, Juvia ran up and snatched the glasses off of Ashley's face, giving me a pretty clear view of her wide, doe like orbs.

"Lucy?" I managed to choke out.

She sighed, as if giving up on something, and hesitated a moment before responding.

"Hey there, Salamander."

When I imagined myself being reunited with Lucy, I had thought of many scenarios. Her running into my arms and neither of us ever letting go. Or maybe me standing there smirking and waiting for her to make the first move. Or both of us playing it cool and nodding to each other with a 'long time no see' and a 'how ya doin?'.

In reality, I didn't act nearly as cool. I gaped at her for a second, eyes wide, jaw dropped, hands hanging uselessly at my sides. She watched me from a safe distance, Juvia and Jellal at her sides, slowly looking me over before looking away.

Then, I attacked her in a hug, arms around her waist and face buried in her neck, taking in her scent. After a moment, I felt her small arms wrap around me to hug me back. I didn't want to let go, but hearing the others made me reluctantly pull away.

Erza walked over and crushed the blonde in an embrace while trying not to cry. After that, Gray walked up and slung an arm around her shoulders, ruffling her hair affectionately. Levy burst into tears and leapt into Lucy's arms while sobbing on her shoulder. Lucy gave a small smile.

"Nice to see you too." She spoke softly.

When everyone settled down, I kept an arm around her shoulders possessively.

Jellal broke the silence. "Sooo…"

Gajeel sighed. "Um…"

Juvia nodded. "Yup."

Erza leapt up from her seat, suddenly angry. At Jellal and Juvia, of all people. "YOU KNEW, DIDN'T YOU? WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING YOU (insert very colorful words here)?! IT WOULD HAVE SAVED US A LOT OF FUCKING TIME!"

Jellal held up his hands. "Calm down, Scarlet. I didn't know until yesterday."

Erza glared at the female blunette. "And how long did you know?"

Juvia averted her eyes. "Umm, about six years, give or take."

Lucy reached out and put a hand on Erza's arm, shocking all of us. "Calm down, Titania. I told them not to say anything."

Erza's eyes softened. "Well, you sure have a lot of explaining to do."

Gray nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Lucy, why did you leave?"

A shadow passed over said-blonde's eyes. "Maybe I'll tell you…later."

Before they could argue, Levy stood and sat on her other side. "It's ok, Lu-chan. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to."

I gave her a side hug. "It's your choice, Luce."

She visibly flinched at the sound of her old nickname, but I chose to ignore it. What bothered me, though, was her silence. What could possibly be so bad that she couldn't speak of it after seven years? We were there for her, and always would be, so why wouldn't she tell us anything? I didn't push it though.

Erza was relentless. "Well, even if it's not now. She has to tell us sooner or later, we deserve to know. Don't we?"

Juvia stood, suddenly angry. "Lucy doesn't have to tell you anything! It's her life and she can do what she want's with it! Pushing her to tell you her painful past will just make this harder on her!"

I was surprised. Did Juvia know? Why would Luce tell her, but not us?

Lucy's POV

I couldn't stand the tension in the room, so did my best to get rid of it. I forced a few giggles and tried sarcasm. "What a birthday party this has turned out to be."

Jellal nodded in agreement and smiled.

Gajeel, whom had not spoken in a while, grinned. "Gihi. Best party I've ever been to. All that's missing is a drunk Jellal."

Juvia and I cracked up at that. When he was drunk, Jellal was the biggest party animal any of us had ever seen. We laughed even harder upon seeing the blunette blush so red that you couldn't see his tattoo. Natsu, who still had his arm around my shoulders, gave me a confused look. I shook my head and turned to Gajeel, suddenly having an idea.

"Karaoke was a bust. Why don't we go back to your place?"

He gave me a toothy grin and agreed heartily. Juvia clapped her hands in excitement.

Jellal smiled a bit. "I'll drive. Lulu, call Bacchus. Juvia, order some pizza.'

We nodded before dragging away the confused celebrities. I whipped out my phone to call Bacchus. He wasn't exactly my friend, but he was close to Jelly and even closer to Gajeel, so I had his number. It wasn't a party without him.

He picked up on the third ring.

"What?" He asked, ever so polite.

"It's Ashley." I said, since Bacchus didn't know my first name.

"Hey Blondie, wassup?"

"Heading to the hangout. Think you could pick up Metal Face? We need him to get some stuff." I said, knowing he would understand.

"Sure. What's the occasion?"

"My birthday."

"Nice. Where are you?"

I gave him directions and hung up. This was supposed to be a party, and it wasn't a party until you got Bacchus, Jellal and Gajeel in the same room. But it only worked if Jellal was drunk.

When the eight of us got outside, Bacchus was already parked next to Jellal's truck. Gajeel jumped in and they took off without as much as a wave. Juvia sat in the front with Jellal because Erza wanted to stay in the back and catch up with me. I smiled, taking a seat next to Natsu and leaning on his arm. The party hadn't started yet, but the night was still young.

Sorry, short chapter. I am not proud of this one, but I had to get past all of this stuff in order to write the what I want to. Next chapter will have a lot of Nalu moments. Thank you to zedabug98 for suggesting that I make Jellal drunk, and that will be in the next chapter as well.

Congrats to everyone who knew that Two Voices, One Song was from Barbie and the Diamond Castle. I may be 13, but I still love kids movies. You are never to old for Barbie or Disney.

Haters gonna hate, but please don't do it here.
