Last Chapter:
"Lucy, I know we just started dating but…uh…will you marry me?"
'The man kneeled down on one of his knees and asked her the question of her life. 'Will you marry me?' She was taken aback by the man's boldness and readiness to take her to run into the sunset. How could she reply to him? It was all too sudden for her.
"Well?" All the girls surrounding them were squealing while they were all jumping up and down. The pressure was too much for her. She needs time to think about that. Was she going for the expectations of others or her own decision?
"I'm sorry but this was all too fast." She replied. She loves the man but she has decided that she wasn't yet ready to do this. There were other things she wants to do before tying herself to someone. The man looked down and sighed. He knew he was defeated so he just stood up and walked away. Their audience was disappointed at her. She could see it in their eyes and the way they all sighed and followed the man outside the ship. She could feel their pity in the atmosphere and truthfully, she could feel hers too. He was known as the proudest and most powerful yet she brought him down. Remorse filled her heart at doing as something as vile. She didn't know if her answer was right or not.
"I know what you're feeling child." The man's grandfather approached her, patting her in her shoulders.
"Master, was my decision right?" She was confused too.
"Child, I cannot answer for you. Only you should determine whether your decision is right or not."
"It's just that, we just started dating and this whole 'proposal thing' is just too much. I'm not yet ready." She said, putting her palms in her face to stop herself from crying.
"Then you have your answer."
"What answer?" She turned her head towards the old man.
"Do you love my grandson?"
"Yes. I do but marriage is just too much."
"Then take your time knowing him and when you think you're ready to settle down, propose to him yourself." Old men, despite being perverts were really wise.
"I can do that? But I'm a girl."
"Boy. Girl. Man. Woman. Does it matter? It's just simple love." He smiled at her and with that she found herself new determination to resolve and put things right.'
"Thank God! My novel is done!" Lucy stood up from her chair to stretched her arms. She has been writing this since she returned and last night, due to the ideas that keep bombarding every corner of her mind, she became ecstatic and didn't sleep until it was finished. Meaning, sleep is yet to come. She released a yawn, sat back at the chair and compiled every pages in a binder.
"A Solemn Vow to Take." She read the title once she finished binding the papers.
"Now, time to write Mama and Papa a letter." She took out her pen and another paper and started scribbling.
'Dear Mama and Papa,
It has been a week since we've return from out S-Class Examination at Tenrou Island. Master told me that Mnemosyne, the man who wanted me, mysteriously disappeared when we are going back into our ship. I'm a bit worried that he might take revenge for what we did to him but I have my friends now. I'm sure they will protect me. No, we will protect each other. But enough of the bad news and on to the good ones. Guess what? I'm an S-Class Mage now.
Mama, remember those times when you told me that Celestial Spirit Mages don't break their promises? I didn't break a promise. I was able to beat an S-Class. That was Natsu, by the way; I'm really pretty sure he did went easy on me but how would I know? I'm not him. I'm just thankful to achieve a new rank.
Papa, Laxus asked me to marry him but I don't know what to answer at that time so I kept thinking about it until I started writing the last part of my novel last night. I do love the guy. He's a gentleman and a handsome fellow, he's strong and he cares for his family like Papa and most of all, he makes me happy. There were times that I felt that I am indebted to him. Sure, he saved my life but I'm still not ready to settle down. Please don't get mad at me for this. I know Laxus was the best choice you would've said to me if you were here but I just became an S-Class and I really want to know more about this before anything else.
On the other hand, I just finished my new novel entitled A Solemn Vow To Take. And just like all of my previous works, it was based from my adventures here in Fairy Tail. It was fun here. I really hope you can join us. I won't ask you if the both of you are okay because I know that Mama and Papa are happy and contented in heaven. Don't worry about me, though. I'm fine here with my friends and just like what I said to Papa, Fairy Tail recognizes me just as Lucy.
Love, Lucy'
"And that's it!" Lucy finished her letter and put it in one of envelopes. She then walked towards her closet and took a box full of her letters to her parents and put the one she just wrote in.
After that, she remembered something. She took her new belt with her new whip given to her by Virgo and her keys. She also put on her necklace. There was something she has yet to do. Lucy exited and locked her apartment and went towards Fairy Tail, running. She has decided.
"Good morning, everyone!" She greeted all of her guild members. "Where's Laxus?" She quickly added.
"I'm here!" Laxus was at the farthest corner of the room, having a chat with her teammates. She turned to him and inhaled a large intake of oxygen. After this, destruction was bound to happen. Better be prepared or else.
"Laxus, five months"
"Five months what?" He arched an eyebrow.
"Five months to make me fall in love with you more and I'll be Mrs. Dreyar." Lucy was right. Mirajane squealed with the other girls. All men were mouth agape. Master was beaming. And therefore, she concluded that carnage will soon to follow.
"Sure, Blondie. That's a solemn vow I plan to make." He grinned, holding the ring.
A/N: Hello, everyone! It has been like a month since I've started this story. So, yeah! thank you for everything. The support, the reads, the follows and most of all, the reviews. They did gave me the 'push' to continue writing this story. It didn't even occurred to me that I'll be able to finish the half of this. it was all thanks to, guys! I love you all so much! Shoot! I think I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna miss all of your reviews. You, guys are the best! T_T
Anyways, what do you think of the ending? I literally wrote this 5 AM, yesterday because I woke up in that time and all ideas just came and I was like 'Hell, yeah! This is what I've been looking for' Tell me your thoughts, okay? BTW, I do have plans on making a sequel but I can't guarantee you that I'll be able to write it. School is already starting here. Ideas are on the way though. :)
