Author's note: Alright, this is it, the final chapter! We're gonna find out what happens in the end. I have to admit it is pretty sad for me to end this series, but I do look forward to working on the new series ( I will announce it at the end of the chapter as well as a character list with descriptions on who's who) here it goes!
Chapter 15: Epilogue (The final chapter)
Three months have passed since the play and things couldn't have been better for Fairy Tail! The plays were the talk of Magnolia for months and they became well known all over Fiore! They even were asked to model in their costumes for Sorcerer's Weekly Magazine! As for Gajeel and Levy, their relationship couldn't be any better! After the first week of the play, Gajeel took Levy out for their first date and it was the best date Levy could of asked for (except that they bumped into Natsu, they wanted this date to be private). Part of the date, Gajeel took Levy out for a carriage ride in the cherry blossom fields of Magnolia and surprisingly, didn't get motion sickness.
'How is it you're not getting motion sickness?' Levy asked.
'I bribed Wendy with some sweets so she could cast Troia on me.' he replied 'she was a little hesitant at first but when I told her what the occasion was, she was willing to do it even without the sweets.'
'So that explains her hyperactive attitude before we left.' Levy replied. After the carriage ride, Gajeel took Levy to the Rainbow Cherry Blossom tree and they had a small picnic together. The colors of the cherry blossom tree at night made it more romantic. Levy didn't want this evening to end. They skipped stones across the lake of the town, went for ice cream (Gajeel got some scrap iron in his) and took a walk in the town park. To end the evening, Gajeel bought (more like threatened the store owner) a locket where she can add two pictures in it. He then walked her back to Fairy Hills and gave her a kiss goodnight.
The whole guild knew about the date by the next day (thanks to Natsu) and the guild couldn't be happier for the new couple! The amount of congratulations the couple got was unbelievable!
During the three months they officially became a couple, The Iron Dragon Slayer has never been happier in his entire life. He couldn't recall a single happy day (besides making Panther Lily his cat) since Metalicana left. Levy could have never been happier; the man of her dreams was now her boyfriend. Jet and Droy seemed to of taken the relationship well, although they did show signs of disappointment, but they did their best to accept Levy's choice.
Now that they were always together, Levy and Gajeel were recognized on the streets as Beauty and The Beast (people wanted lacrima photos or autographs from them much to Gajeel's dismay).One evening during their date night, Levy began to think. We've been dating for three months and neither of us said the three words yet. She thought then again, Gajeel isn't the type to say it in public, one of us will make a move eventually.
"Whatchya thinking about small fry?"Gajeel suddenly asked which broke Levy out of her train of thought.
"Nothing," Levy lied "I just remembered a scene in a book that kind of reminded me of what we're doing."
They were at the beach on a Sunset Stroll, walking barefoot along the sand. Gajeel looked at his girlfriend with one studded brow up in a questioning look, he could tell she was lying but he wasn't going to question her on it. They enjoyed the rest of the night walking the beach, holding hands and splashing each other with ocean water. Gajeel walked Levy back home that night with his arm around her shoulder. At the door, Gajeel and Levy faced each other before she entered her home.
"I had a wonderful time tonight!" Levy told Gajeel "I still can't believe you punched the guy at the game stand at the boardwalk."
"Gihihi" chuckled Gajeel "I thought that game was rigged the first second you played." They kissed and just when Levy was about to enter Fairy Hills when Gajeel stopped her.
"Oh! Levy," he said Levy looked at him in curiosity "I almost forgot to give you this, I was meaning to give you this at the beach but; I was having such a great time I forgot." He pulled an iron box out of his back pocket and gave it to Levy. She looked at it with curiosity.
"Thanks Gajeel." She said.
"Gihihi, open it up." he told her "The inside is the best part." Levy did what he said and opened her mouth in shock. The metal box was a music box. The figurine rose from the inside of the box and began to twirl to the music. The figurines were Gajeel and Levy, dressed as Beauty and The Beast during the ballroom scene. The song playing was Beauty and the Beast but in a beautiful Music box version. Levy was tearing up, she never seen something so beautiful.
"Ga-Gajeel it's beautiful!" Levy said with her hand covering her mouth while tears shed from her eyes "I love it! Thank you so much!" She put the box down for a minute and hugged Gajeel tightly before giving him a kiss.
"I made that myself." Gajeel said "There's more too." More? Gajeel just gave her the most beautiful hand-crafted gift she ever received, what-else could there be? Gajeel pulled out of his from pocket an iron rose that was not in full bloom. Levy looked at it with curiosity.
"I had a little help from that womanizer spirit Bunny Girl has." Gajeel explains "Wait until later on tonight, watch what happens." Levy smiled at her boyfriend.
"Thank you Gajeel!" Levy said. She hugged him again and kissed him passionately on the lips. She then picked up the music box and hugged Gajeel again.
"Goodnight my Shrimp." He said with his face in her hair, inhaling her scent and then kissed her head.
"Goodnight my Beast." She replied with a giggle. She kissed his cheek for good measure before entering Fairy Hills.
After entering her apartment, Levy put the rose in a vase and sat it next to her music box on her nightstand. She took a shower and decided to read for a few hours before going to bed. She read until an hour into her reading, she heard a vibration. Levy looked around her room to find the source of the noise. Only for her eyes to land on the iron rose that Gajeel gave her. It was shaking violently, threatening to fall on the floor. Suddenly it stopped, Levy looked in wonder was that what it's supposed to do? She thought but her thoughts were cut off when she noticed the rose begin to bloom. A large ray of light beamed out of the rose. The lights formed into words which said "I Love You." In the most colorful fashion possible before disappearing leaving behind just the fully bloomed iron rose. Levy had tears of joy streaming down her face. She never had seen something that amazing (besides the music box).
"I love you too." She whispered while kissing the photo of Gajeel she had on her nightstand. She wiped her eyes and put the book in her nightstand's drawer, climbed into bed, pulled the music box over and began to wind it up before opening it. She watched as the figurines of her and Gajeel began to dance to the music. She then sang before letting sleep claim her:
"Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast!
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme
Levy and the beast!"
The End.
BONUS scene! :
Lucy woke up after Levy and Gajeel left the guild for their walk. She looked around the guild and couldn't believe her eyes.
Dear Mavis, she thought how did this happen? And why the hell is Droy tied to a cooking spit?! She looked at where she once was and couldn't find Levy. Maybe she found Gajeel. Lucy got up and began to stretch. She walked over to Natsu who was stretched out asleep, snoring.
"Got to admit," Lucy muttered to herself "he is cute when he's asleep." She then for some reason bent down and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Before she could react, Natsu suddenly grabbed her; pulling her down next to him and began to cuddle with her. Lucy didn't know what to do; she would usually scream or punch him so hard he could have been sent straight to Edolas!
I guess I can let this one slide. Lucy said to herself before falling asleep in Natsu's arms.
