Natsu had locked himself in the bathroom, trying to get back to normal, his big problem crotch. Lucy had settled her back with open arms while smiling. She was so excited to be Natsu's wife, she had a smile from ear to ear. And while she was concentrating on her world, Happy flew out the window.

'' Lucyyyy! '' Shouted Happy cheerful.

'' Happyyyyy! '' Lucy replied in the same tone.

'' Do you know where is Natsu? I've been looking for him '' Happy asked flapping its wings.

'' H-He is in the bathroom '' Lucy said blushing.

'' I see, do you think it will take long? '' Happy asked.

'' M-Maybe '' Lucy said.

'' Is that Gildarts has returned, and asked me to find Natsu '' Happy said.

'' Gildarts !? '' Natsu opened the door shut, showing its strong abdomen, and the 'V' formed at the beginning of his crotch.

'N-Natsu!' 'Cried Lucy turning.

'' What are these reactions Lucy? You are marrying him in some weeks! '' Happy bothering the blondie.

'B-but he shouldn't be displayed in front of me yet!' 'He cried Lucy covering her eyes.

'' When he returned? '' He asked ignoring Lucy

'' Just come, he says he has something important to tell you 'Happy continued.

'' What are we waiting for? '' He took Lucy's hand

'' H-Hey! He's looking for you anyway '' Lucy reproached him.

'' Hey, we will be husband and wife, right? '' Natsu said, taking her by the waist and subsequently charged as princess pot and threw the window.

'' Why can't you leave like normal people? '' asked Lucy defeated.

Natsu laughed.

'' Gildarts! '' Natsu screamed as he entered the guild.

'' Lucy! '' Gildarts came running to the blonde.

'' E-Eh? '' Lucy asked confused.

'' They had told me, you're going to marry this idiot! '' said Gildarts happy.

''T-That's true '' Lucy replied, blushing.

'' I see, take care of him. It may be silly at times, but a good boy. '' Gildarts said smiling at her, and putting his hands on the shoulders of the magician.

'' Hey! '' Natsu angrily reproached the comment of 'dumb'

'' Natsu '' Gildarts sobered and headed dragon slayer.

'' W-What? '' Natsu asked nervously.

'' You have to put into practice what I taught you, '' he said Gildarts magician making the blush, and giving him a friendly tap on the shoulder.

'' A-Aye! '' Replied Natsu blushing.

'' I'm very proud of you, Natsu. '' Gildarts said seriously.

'' T-Thank you '' Natsu replied.

'' Anyway, old man, why were you looking for Natsu? '' Cana interrupted.

'' A-Ah, yes. '' Gildarts turned to Natsu serious.

'' What is? '' Asked Natsu.

'' Sorry to ruin the moment, but I need you to accompany me on a mission, S class '' said Gildarts seriously.

'' S CLASS ?! '' Everyone jumped.

'' What do you mean, Gildarts? '' asked Gray.

'' You see, after the incident in the Alvarez empire, someone was prowling around, and I think ... no, I'm sure, is acnologia in human form '' he continued.

'' Human form ?! '' Erza asked.

'' Acnologia was a human who became a dragon and apparently can return to its original shape, '' concluded Gildarts.

'' You know where he is now? '' Asked Natsu angry.

'' As I said, he was prowling around the empire, it may be possible in contact with Zeref '' Gildarts closed his eyes.

'' What are we waiting for? '' Asked Natsu openinig his hands

'' Are you sure you want to go? '' asked Gildarts opening his eyes.

'' Of course! '' Shouted excited Natsu.

'' So ... '' Gildarts looked at Lucy

'' F-For me there is no problem ... '' Lucy said faking a smile.

'' Lucy '' Natsu approached the blonde.

'' I-I said that is fine, n-no worry '' Lucy said faking a smile.

'' I shall return '' Natsu put his hands on the shoulders of Lucy.

'' ... I ... I want to go with you! '' Lucy confessed facing him

'' No '' Natsu said looking into her eyes.

''Why?! I can help you! '' Lucy insisted him.

'' No, Lucy. '' Natsu repeated it.

'N-Natsu ..' 'Lucy said, looking down.

'' Listen, I don't want anything happen to you, okay? I just want to protect you, so please '' Natsu hugged her and said in her ear.

'' Y-You think I'm weak? That you have to protect me always? I don't need you to protect me! '' Lucy said desperately.

''Stop Lucy, you're not weak ... you're ...just... better here '' Natsu said lowering his chin.

'' I can figh- '' Lucy suddenly dropped Natsu's embrace and took her hand which used to be her keys and when she realized they weren't there, she stopped short.

'' W-What happens? Are you okay? '' Natsu asked worriedly.

'' My keys ... '' Lucy said frustrated, facing the empty spot in her skirt.

'' Keys? '' Wendy asked confused.

'' What are you talking about, Lucy? '' Erza asked confused.

'' W-... Where are my keys? '' Lucy said in a gasp.

'' Hey, what's the matter? '' Natsu grabbed her shoulders.

'' My friends I have forgotten ... '' Lucy admitted shedding a tear.

'' F-Friends? '' Natsu asked confused.

'' H-How could ...I? '' Lucy put both hands on either side of her head, she was frustrated and crying.

'' Lucy, calm down please, I do not know what's going on! '' Natsu told desperate.

'' I-I ... forgot ... my spirits '' Lucy slid to the floor.

'' S-Spirits? '' Asked Cana.

'N-No, I have not forgotten ...' 'Lucy lifted her face.

'' L-Lucy? '' Gray asked worried.

'' They are ... '' Lucy turned back and saw all their spirits appearing in a flash.

'' We're here, Lucy '' Loke started waving.

'' Hime-sama '' Virgo smiled.

'' Lucy! '' He greeted as a military find an opening.

'' Plue plue '' greeted the boy.

'' We've always been with you '' The Goat continued.

'' Always '' Aquarius followed.

These were showing her, they were present, just that she could not see them because they did not remember, because they disappeared along with the purification of END. They had been those two years around that glass where Lucy was when she woke up, they were still there when she returned to the guild, they were there when Natsu asked marriage, they were still there, they were always there, just that she I could not see or remember.

'' ... A-All II ... '' Lucy said crying and wringing her eyes.

'' Tsk, Stop mourn girl! '' Iscreamed Aquarius with a few tears.

'' A-Aquarius '' Lucy said crying.

'' Lucy-san, don't cry '' Aries approached.

'' We are back, thanks to you-ebi '' said the crab.

'' I'm sorry...I'm sorry.'' said sobbing, Lucy.

'' I'm so sorry '' and ran to her spirits.

'' How could we forget them? '' Asked Natsu looking down.

'' It's not your fault, Natsu '' Loke replied.

'' Guys, thanks for saving me, I owe a big one '' Natsu thanked them.

'' You are about to pay off your debt '' Aquarius continued.

'' A-Ah? '' Lucy asked confused.

'' We've been here for two long years, we must return to the spirit world to recover magic '' The clock continued.

'' I'm sorry...' 'Lucy hugged Aquarius.

'' It will not be for long, Lucy '' Aquarius laid a hand on the head of the blonde.

'' We will return '' Everyone got back in line.

'' N-N- '' Lucy was about to say.

'' Natsu, take care of her in our absence '' Loke asked the blonde fiancee.

'' You don't need to ask for it '' Natsu approached putting a hand on her head

'' It's a promise! '' Lucy shouted to their spirits before they disappeared.

'' Lucy! '' Their spirits shouted, and disappeared.

Natsu hugged her and she let go her tears in his chest. Others who had witnessed the reunion also loosened a few tears of joy and others smiled. Gildarts had gone unannounced, having realized that Natsu and Lucy must be together, and that maybe the thing is not that terrible, he will fix it by himself. He left the guild with a smile.
