*Epilogue

5 years later~

As many years passed, many people changed. I am Lucy Heartfilia, age 22. As I mentioned many people are changing as we are getting older. Levy and Gajeel got together and have a little boy named Tetsu and Levy is currently pregnant with another one. Yet still Gajeel is too chicken to ask her to marry him.

Then there is Erza. Her and Jellal have been making some progress. I find it sweet that most of us are still together with our high school sweethearts. Anyway, they recently got married and I was one of the bridesmaids. Ultear was the maid of honor though for Jellal since Erza was an only child.

There is also Juvia. Her and Gray are 'taking it slow'. Even though they both love each other and deserve to be together, the two of them are too scared of what might happen to the other person if they get married and have children.

Next in line is Bisca who, as you all know, has been married since high school. She had a sweet little girl named Asuka during the summer prior to our senior year. In the end she was listed as a high school dropout. Even so, Alzack got a job to support her and went to school. Every day he would come home and teach her the material learned that day.

Finally there is me. Natsu and I have been together for a while now. And honestly, I still have the glass rose he gave me. I love him and he loves me. Nothing more, nothing less. As much as I wish it was more it isn't.

It is about to be Christmas and all of us including Mira and her newly found boyfriend Freed, are going to spend Christmas Eve together. How? Well you never know with this crowd of people. This reminds me how everything happened:

Flashback~

"Oi! Popsicle! Where do you think we should go for Christmas?" Natsu asked 'Popsicle' a.k.a Gray.

"I don't know Candlestick. Will there even be anything open on Christmas Eve?" Gray asked 'Candlestick' a.k.a Natsu. How do they insult each other so… straightforwardly?

"Oh! I know this girl who knows this guy who has a cousin who has a friend who has a sister whose boyfriends third cousin knows this girl that has a karaoke shop open year round! It is in central Magnolia." Mira suggested with a squeal and a clap.

In response everyone sweat dropped.

"Okay! Let's do it! My Aunt is watching Tetsu so it can just be us. With the exception of Kamiko. Don't ask me. Gajeel gave me names to choose from and this was the best. It means 'Superior child' because he wants her to beat all of your children." She said with a sweat drop.

"I am assuming that he named Tetsu too am I correct?" Asked Erza.

"Yes. I thought I would let him name him because it was a boy. Needless to say, his name means iron…" Levy said sweat dropping even more to the point she is hunched over. Poor Levy.

"Okay…. Well where is the place? We should probably go now if we want to have lots of fun." I suggested with a smile.

"Yosh! Lets go!" Natsu yelled with a fist pump in the air before grabbing my hand and all but dragging me down the street.

"HELP MEEEE~~" I yelled being drug behind Natsu. In the distance I saw my friends standing there waving to me. Wow some friends they are….

Somehow though, I made it to the place alive. After a few minutes of waiting, everyone else arrived as well.

"What are we waiting for? Lets go!" Shouted Levy as she tried to run only to be held back by Gajeel. I guess he was really worried about the baby after all. Awwww so sweet!

(Just so you guy know, I have never been to a karaoke place so this is what I would expect it to be like)

We walked in the building and rented a room for 2 hours. After that we all went into a room and sat down at a large round table. We all picked up menus and ordered a snack.

After everyone ate we finally decided to start singing.

"So who is going to go first?" Erza asked. Everyone kind of looked around. Suddenly Levy stood up and volunteered. My heart sank. I love Levy, I really do but that poor child is so tone deaf.

"I will!" Levy said. She then walked up and looked through the list of songs. She then smiled and selected a song.

Everyone sweetdropped. The song had beautiful lyrics but Levy. Poor, poor Levy…

After Levy was finished I guess everyone wanted someone to soothe the pain just caused. Just kidding. But seriously because I was suddenly volunteered by everyone. I mean Everyone.

I sighed and walked up and walked up to choose a song. That's when I noticed that my latest single was up here.

"Guess what? Guess what? Guess what?" I asked/screamed in excitement.

"What? What? What?" They replied.

"My latest song is on here!"

"Then sing it." Gray suggested. I nodded.

Masayume Chasing- BoA

Yume wo otte mayoikonda kokoro no mori no oku
Kagami yori sunda izumi utsuru yuganda Smile
Koboreta namida wa (Don't Cry)
kin demo gin demo nakute
Arifureta namida (Fall From My Eyes)
megami mo kizukanai

Masayume Chasing Chasing
Koero motto jibun shijō saikō no
Ima wo Chasing Chasing
Sō egaita jibun ni natte moyase mune no hi wo

na na na na na na na Oh
na na na na na Hey Hey
na na na na na na na Oh
Kakenukero Hero

na na na na na na na Oh
na na na na na Hey Hey
na na na na (Hey) na na na Oh
Moyase mune no hi wo (My Life...Yeah)

Translation:

As I chase my dream, I got lost deep in the forest of my heart.
Rather than mirrors, it's the clear spring, that reflected a warped smile.

These tears that I have shed (Don't Cry), gold or silver they won't be.
Those commonly seen tears (Fall From My Eyes), goddess won't even notice them.

True Dream Chasing, Chasing,
Surpassing the greatest I've ever been even more.
The instant Chasing Chasing,
That's who I'll become, a person I've described, the flame that burns in one's heart!

Na na na na na na na Oh
Na na na na na Hey Hey
Na na na na na na na Oh
The Hero who run past through that!

Na na na na na na na Oh
Na na na na na Hey Hey
Na na na na (Hey) na na na (Oh)
The flame that burns in one's heart (My Life... Yeah)

"Lu-chan that was amazing!" Levy exclaimed

"Great job Lucy!" Erza complemented and so on.

Later everyone else did a solo turn… including Gajeel. Lets just say that him and Levy make a good couple based on that.

After everyone had a solo turn, we did duets and group things. At one point, Levy, Erza, and I even did the Hare Hare Yukai.

Then Bisca and Juvia did something and later on Erza and Mira sang a song. Everyone kind of did their own thing.

"Who next?" I asked. Once again everyone looked around until a lightbulb appeared above Mira's head.

"I know! Why don't all the girls put on a show for the guys?" Mira said. I froze. Who knows what she might make us where…..

Never the less though, we all reluctantly agreed in fear of what she might put us through if we declined. We all went into a changing room and got into a cheerleading outfit. Oh lord….

We walked out and I immediately blushed after seeing Natsu's face. The costumes weren't too exotic, but they were a bit out of range for me.

Mira walked up and set the music then came back and got into place.

Translation:

At vaguely 3cm, is that what you call squishy? Geez!
My wrapping is a uniform… Right, I'm not pretending it, pbbt.
I'll try my best I'll do it
Catch & Release at that moment, gak
In my cleavage of sweat (Fuu) sweat (Fuu), Darlin' darlin' E!

Kinda down, kinda out
I love you- Huh, one's wrong?
Worrier, high metal bar
Connoisseur- Cut it out

About the blushing of that girl who shot up
She's a normal girl, so to speak
Is it just me who was surprised? Tonkotsu wires, another helping-ping-ping

POM-POM cheerleaders
Let's get! Cherry pie
FUN FUN welcome party
Look up! Sensation
Yeah! The feeling of existence …Little planets
They collided and melted, dumbfounded
Singing loudly, four rangers

Take it!
The one who will be laughing at the end should be me
Because it's a sailor uniform, that's it ←The conclusion
Even though it's Monday!
I'm not feeling well, so what to do?
Summer clothes are nice Oh?So! Cutesy

I hesitate until it gets close to 3 pix's, yah
Try your best, be eager, My Darlin' darlin' E!

Rising, descending
Falling in love- Keep it a secret still, that's logic
Spoiled kid, bodyguard
Report card- Get cocky and you'll be crushed

I tell that guy who stepped on me that my pinky hurts
There's an exaggerated glimpse of black knee-highs
Is it absolute, is it territory? I demand my bare feet to be smooth-ooth-ooth

WORRIES, delusion chronicles
Let's go! Parthenon
WILD-WILD Soran song and dance
What's up? Temptation
Hey! The feeling of loss; a $$ part-time job
If you search for it, you'll find it
You naturally have absolutely no fear for life

Try it!
What aims for new rules is my challenge
Even if I change my sailor uniform = me
What to do on weekends?
A flash of skin is common!
Uniforms are simple = easy

At wind speed 3 meters, I hold onto you and endure it, guish
Your chest thumps, your tummy cramps, I'm Sugar suga T!

POM-POM WORRIES Day
Let's get! Uh Uh Ah!
FUN-FUN chop chop kick
Look up! Fu Fu Ho!
HI! Education! Love is ABC
Um, I wonder, um, I wonder, lightly lightly
It gets sunny, I get a crush, tragic love and such

Take it!
The one who will be laughing at the end should be me
Because it's a sailor uniform, that's it ←The conclusion
Even though it's Monday!
I'm not feeling well, so what to do?
Summer clothes are nice Oh? So! Cutesy

Just as I thought
The one who will be laughing at the end should be me
Because it's a sailor uniform, that's it ←The conclusion

At vaguely 3cm, is that what you call squishy? Whoa!
My wrapping is a uniform… Right, I'm not pretending it, poh.
I'll try my best I'll do it
That and in cap & jersey, hah
If they turn see-through due to my sweat, it's Darlin' darlin' E!

The music stopped and all the girls dropped from exhaustion. Sweat was pouring off my forehead. I couldn't bear to look him in the eyes out of embarrassment.

All of the girls then went to change since the two hours was just about up. After that we walked in and collected our things and separated. Since I really had no one to spend my Christmas, I just walked to the park and sat on the swing to think.

Suddenly there was shifting beside me. I turned to look only to see Natsu standing there smiling like an idiot at me.

"Feeling lonely?" He asked. I guess he understood though. He was in the same wagon as me.

"I guess. It's not as much loneliness as much envy. I miss being able to see my parents at least on Christmas if nothing else." I said looking down. Suddenly I felt bad for saying that since Natsu hadn't really ever been able to enjoy Christmas with his parents because of his Mom's death and fathers disappearance at a young age.

"I'm sorry." I said.

When I said that Natsu suddenly kissed me. At first I was in shock but slowly relaxed into it. After the kiss, he stood up though. I was confused at first and was about to question him but he cut me off.

"Lucy Heartfilia, Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice. But falling in love with you I had no control over." He then bent down on one knee and tears came flooding from my eyes.

"Will you marry me?" He asked with a goofy smile.

At that point I just stood up and tackled him to the ground. We sat there for a minute.

"Of course I would marry you, you big idiot. What took you so long?" I asked as the tears continued to flow.

"I was scared of what you would say…" He admitted.

"Well that has never stopped you before." I said with a laugh as I wiped my tears with the sleeve of my jacket. In return he just chuckled. He then got up and offered me a hand which I gladly took.

We then walked a bit around town looking at the different Christmas lights.

"Hey Natsu?"

"Yeah?"

"This kind of love story only happens once in a blue moon."

"I guess it is." He said with a laugh.

Hey guys! So how was it? Did you like it? I was disappointed at the reviews i got last chapter... i only got three :c But that was besides the point! I hope you read my other stories.
