The rain fell heavily on to the earth, washing away the stains of the recent war. A month has passed and everyone was still trying to recover. The first thing Lucy did was established herself as the new Queen of Fiore and worked to gain the trust of the people. Admittedly they didn't trust her at first, after all they didn't know her. But there were a few who fought by her side and defend her, those being the mother she had meet and given her shoes too, her husband which she apparently saved, as well as some others who had claimed to have seen her single handedly fight the enemy. However, non of the Fairy Tail member sided with her, but they didn't side against her either.

Next order of business, was reissuing the money that had been kept away from the citizens, by decreasing their tax by sixty percent. Lucy then created jobs by announcing the public construction of a new memorial cemetery of those who lost their lives in the fighting.

After that she created a parliament to keep the power of the monarchy in check. She did not want an absolute monarchy ruling the Kingdom. Then she set up a system of local leaders under the central government. Basically she aloud each city to have a mayor who then answer to the parliament, who would answer to her. Lucy then asserted herself into this parliament as the head. Who are the members of this parliament you ask? Who else but the leaders of the rebellion? Lucy had gone to Erza, Mirajane, Laxus, Makarov, Gajeel, Levy, and Gray to ask them if they would be members. Makarov turned her down saying he was too old but the rest agreed.

"Hear me, my comrades. This kingdom may be mine to inherit, but I need the wisdom of those who have lived in it if I am to rule over Fiore properly. I ask that you would led me both your good word and your bad word. And if I am to ever become a tyrant in the future, I ask that you would strike me down without hesitation." She announced to them at their first gathering.

"But your majesty, are you sure about that?" Levy asked.

"Yes, I have been soaked in sin in saving this Kingdom, so I wish that you would redeem me if I were to turn my back on it." Lucy responded.

"I understand, Lucy. Trust me, if you were to ever do anything that is not in favor of the Kingdom, I will cut you down myself." Erza stated boldly.

Lucy chuckled from her seat. "Thank you Erza, I trust that you will."

After yet another meeting and the members dispersed, Lucy headed down to the back garden, where a large casket stood among the flower beds. Inside Natsu lay frozen in time. After the battle, Lucy had returned to his body and dressed his wounds, she carried him back to castle where she continued to care for him. She had changed his clothes and dressed him down in royal attire she had found in the wardrobe of one of the room. A perfect fit. He had on dark green pants with a white button up shirt and a white and gold jacket. Not being able to let go yet, Lucy had built this casket to where she would visit every day.

Holding her mother's necklace in her hands she looked down at the dull stone in defeat. Lucy had tried to wish for his life back, but it never worked. The star had lost it shine. She didn't even hear from One anymore.

Opening the casket, Lucy got up and laid down next to his body and cried into his shoulder. As the tears fell, one of them fell onto the star and it twinkled, but went unnoticed.

"Please..." Lucy whispered. "Bring Natsu back to me..."

At that moment, the starlight grew brighter, brighter than ever before. Lucy opened her eyes only to be blinded by the sure intensity of the blue light. As it grew brighter it enveloped bother her and Natsu's body. The next thing she new she was nowhere, everything was black, complete contradicting to earlier. There was no floor, she was just floating in space.

"W-where am I?" She voiced.

"You're in the heart of the star" a voice came.

"One? Where are you?" Lucy called.

"Your in me dumb dumb, remember I don't actually have a body?" One laughed.

"What am I doing here? Where did you go?" She questioned again.

"After your lover died you locked me away and began to use your own magic and try to fuse your magic with mine . Thus by trying to fuse your magic with the one magic on your own you became it. That is why both of your eyes became black and why the star hasn't been working. You've been the star for a while. Only just now then you cried out was I able to break free." The voice explained.

"I was the one magic?" Lucy repeated. "But how? That doesn't make sense!" Lucy was slowly freaking out and grabbed her head and curled up into a ball. In the corner of her eye Lucy saw a light, small and yellow, then another one and other one. Eventually, Lucy was completely surrounded by foxfires. "What are they?" Lucy asked.

"They are the souls of my previous owners." One answered. "And your Natsu is here too, you brought him along when you cried."

"Natsu?!" Lucy gasped Lucy quickly looked around but every light looked exactly the same. "Where is he?"

"Listen girl." One said. "The deal we made before the battle. I'm going to announce it to you now." Lucy turned to see a large purple light floating behind her. "This light is the hold of my magic. I want you to grab it."

"And what will that do?" Lucy inquired skeptically.

"If you grab it we will fuse again, but not in the way before. Neither of us will be the dominant party, we will be one in the same. I want to leave this place. I want to live and die like a normal person. And in exchange, with our powers infused, you will be able to bring back your beloved Natsu."

"Really? I can bring him back?" Lucy cried in happiness. Lucy excitedly reach out to grab the light but was stopped when the voice returned.

"However. You will suffer a greater fate."

Lucy froze. "What?"

"By becoming one with me, you will not die of age, and all of the souls of my past owners will reside within your mind. You will have to train, and meditate to have complete control over your thoughts and actions." One said.

Lucy muted her self to give her time to think. An immortal life? Could she handle that? A few months ago she was a normal person living in New York. Now she's the Queen of a Kingdom in a different world. Could she really lead an immortal life?

"And, what of Natsu?" She asked.

"By bringing him back you will be cheating death. He'll become immortal as well." One answered.

The was stumped on what to do. There was no way she could ask Natsu to become immortal with her. That wasn't fair. He'd have to watch all of his friends and everyone around him die. She could ask that of him, she wouldn't.

"Do you think I do not love you enough to give away my life?" Natsu's voice came in question.

Lucy whipped around and looked up at a pink light, which floated down to her and landed in her hands.

"Natsu?" Lucy whispered.

"I died for you. I am willing to live for you." He said.

She nodded and wiped away the tears that we falling down her face. Letting go of the pink light, Lucy turned back to the purple light. Reaching out her hand she grabbed the light. On the second the dark world turned white and the purple light wrapped its self around her. The foxfires all flew to her and spiraled around her, all different colors more diverse than the rainbow.

Lucy gasped as her body was filled with both heat and the cold. Her hair changed into an assortment of different colors until it stopped with her usual blond with purple mixed in. As too did her eyes until her left eye settled on gold, and her right eye settled on her regular brown. He skin itself changed from a milky white to a pale yellow and began to give off a glow. Her clothes eradicated and was replaced with a white dress with purple trimmings and green sleeves that went down to her hands. A white and gold choker appeared on her neck.

With a suddenly burst everything around them stopped and she awoke back where she was laying down next to Natsu's still dead body. Lucy looked at herself to see the transformation had indeed happened and changed her appearance.

Looking back at Natsu's lifeless body Lucy felt a new wave of energy come over her. Know that he could be saved... changed her life once more. Leaning over her body, she opened his mouth and placed a kiss on his lips. She could feel his soul flow from her and back into its rightful owner. With a quick shine of pink light, Natsu's life was backed up and waited for him to wake up. His eyes began to twitch and crinkle, then slowly open up.

"Lucy..." He murmured.

"Natsu." Lucy cried quietly.

"You... you've changed." He said in a hushed tone.

Lucy smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. "Well, a lot can happen in a month."

"A MONTH?!"

...

One year has gone by and Natsu had finally adjusted to the idea of Lucy being Queen. At first he didn't like the idea that she, he, and all the Fairy Tail commanders would be living in the castle in the capital. Everyone down right had a freak trip when they saw her new transformation and learned of her new found immortality. It was harder to explain to Natsu because he didn't remember a thing that happened in the star. It was even harder to explain that he was too immortal to everyone.

Just as One had said there was an enormous amount of voices in her head every second of the day. Some of them she recognized, others were new. Some were kind, some where taunting. Lucy had more than a few breakdowns from them and had to be comforted by Natsu. After six months Lucy new what she had to do.

Lucy had appointed Natsu to the high chair as a councilman. Not to say he didn't abuse his power sometimes for mindless pranks. Though he would get a clear lecture from her and a beating from Erza. Happy had moved in as well and was now living the charmed life with his now pregnant wife, Carla. Lucy made sure everything was going well with the Kingdom in its steady regrowth before announcing her decision at the next council meeting.

"I'm going away. I don't know when I'll be back but I may take some time. At least a decade." Lucy spoke out.

"But your majesty!" Mira erupted. "We need to to lead this country!" The others followed her in agreement.

"I'm sorry everyone, this is something I have to do. Before I became the One magic I was told I would suffer mental torture. It has become to much for me after this year. I will be going to learn to control it. When I return you will have aged, but I will be but the same." Lucy turned to Erza. " I trust you will lead this country in its best interest until I come back."

The blond looked over her peers one last time. Before leaving. Natsu hadn't spoken a word during the meeting.

The next day Lucy had packed only a change of clothes and a weeks worth of food before making her way to the stables. She saddled up her elk in preparation to leave.

"Lucy." A voice came from behind.

"Natsu." She sighed. "You can't come with me."

"Lucy." He said again.

"I know this is hard and it's only been a year since you woke up, but I can't stand the voices any longer-"

"Lucy."

"-if I don't do this I'm afraid I won't be able to function properly anymore. I'll lose my sanity once again-"

"Lucy shut up!" Natsu yelled. The blonde finally turned towards her boyfriend. "If you would have let me finish let alone start you would know that I understand why your leaving." He told her.

"And when you get back..."

Natsu reached into his pocket.

"I'd like you..."

He pulled out a little box.

"To be my wife."

Lucy gasped. She was shocked to the point of being petrified in her spot.

"I know life will be hard on us now that we won't die of age. But the way I see it, it gives me more time to spend my life loving you."

Natsu got down on one knee and opened the box. Inside was a simple silver band with an emerald in the center. Her favorite stone.

"So what do you say?"

She breathed.

"...Yes."
