Author's POV:

It was the last day of high school and all the students were ready to start their long, overdue break. Lucy, Natsu, and their friends are prepared to say goodbye to Fairy Tail High School. It has been a roller coaster of events and emotions, but in the end, they've conquered another year in school.

I wonder what the students at FTHS are doing right now...

Wendy's POV:

It was early in the morning when I left to go to school. I still couldn't get the image of Romeo being almost naked in front of me out of my mind. It frustrated me how awkward it's going to be for the two of us. Well, at least I learned a lesson from my mistake. Never go into a guy's room without knocking. Although, in my defense, they should've closed the door. What kind of person doesn't lock the door when they're changing? It's common sense.

I walked pass Romeo's house, which was the direction to the high school. I sighed in relief, successfully avoiding Romeo at the moment. I didn't want to see him right now, after the whole incident that had happened recently. I wanted to give him his space, assuming that he also didn't want to see me at the moment. Or maybe I was wrong.

"Hey, Wendy!" Romeo called out to me from behind. I froze when I heard his voice shouting my name. I internally screamed in my head to run as far away as I can, but sadly, I didn't listen. A part of me asked myself the reason why I didn't. I knew he was a better runner than me, but why didn't I at least try?

"Oh, hi..." I said, trying hard not to remember what happened at the morning of Grandine and Igneel's wedding day. "So, uh... what's up?"

He faintly blushed. "I wanted to talk to you about...what happened at the guy's dressing room..."

Trying hard to not remember something was difficult for me. It was especially difficult when my best friend, who was also my crush, had to remind me of what just happened between us. I then tried to cover the sound of my heart, beating louder and faster, as if it was running a marathon. A marathon that wouldn't stop.

I tried to act dumb. "What do you mean?"

"You know perfectly well what happened," Romeo said, his voice a bit high pitched. A fact about Romeo was that if he was in an embarrassing conversation, his voice would go a little higher than usual. He would also start talking a bit faster, gradually, as the conversation goes on.

I kept pushing. "I don't know what you're talking about." Romeo grumbled, his face beet red from either anger or embarrassment. I couldn't tell.

"Can we just forget about the incident and move on?" He asked, his voice cracking unintentionally. If only he knew that it was easier said than done. Besides, it wasn't like I didn't enjoy the view. Though, he should start shaving his legs. Not that I was looking or anything.

I just smiled. "Do you want to walk with me to school?" I asked, holding out my hand for him to take. The sudden change in subject confused him, but he didn't mind at all. His discomfort died down and it was all replaced with a simple grin and nod.

Romeo took my hand. "Sure."

Levy's POV:

Storming through the halls, my expression was anything, but happy. Gajeel had some nerve to steal my book that I was reading at the wedding reception. I was liking the Lunar Chronicles so far that it pained me to see the first book be snatched away by some egotistical guy. He was going to be in so much trouble, once I find him.

I searched around the school, wanting to find out where Gajeel was hiding. Time didn't really concern me, since I went to school early. I knew for a fact Gajeel was an early bird and there was only one place he would be in this time frame. He told me some time ago that he would hang out in his secret place, yet he never made an effort to make it a secret. Though, he never had to make an effort to hide it, since nobody had a reason to be there in the first place.

I kicked the door open, unbeknownst that the door was going to break and fall to the ground in front of me. To me, it didn't matter as much than trying to get my book back. Strangely, I didn't find Gajeel, but I could see my book sitting on a cushy chair. I went closer to it and saw something strange. The book was opened to reveal a little folded note inside it. Curiously, I picked up the note and read what it had in store.

~~~

Dear Levy,

Sorry, for stealing your book. You weren't enjoying the wedding reception and I thought it would be a good idea to take your mind off of reading. I would face you and apologize to you directly, but I don't want you want to find me. I knew you would be in here to try and get me, so that's where I left the book.

P.S. I bought the second book of the Lunar Chronicles for you. I hope I can give it you sometime soon. You have a habit of being angry with me.

Sincerely,
Gajeel the Idiot

~~~

I laughed at the title he had given himself. I kept rereading the note, not wanting the giddy feeling to leave. Every word he made, made me leap with joy. The fact that he went put in a lot of effort to try and apologize to me really touched my heart to it's utmost limit.

I think I'm done trying to kill him for today...

Jellal's POV:

I shook my head. "I can't believe you actually brought some leftover cake from the party."

Erza smiled. "It's brunch time, so why wouldn't I take the opportunity to finish the cake?" She took out her lunch bag and brought out two forks and the leftover wedding cake. She handed me one of the forks. "Want to share?"

"Yeah," I said, taking the fork from her. "I wouldn't want you to eat the whole thing."

Erza gave me a look. "And why's that?"

"Because," I paused, taking a chunk of the cake. "You'll get a cavity if you keep eating all those sweets."

"Yeah, right. I ate strawberry cake all my life, Jellal," Erza said, eating a piece of the cake to try and prove a point. "Not once have I gotten a single cavity."

"Well, you're going to get it one day," I said, pointing the fork at her. I stared at Erza, as she paid attention to nothing, but the strawberry cake. It made me smile to see her so happy over a piece of dessert. "You remind me of a character from this anime I used to watch."

Erza swallowed her cake. "The red-haired girl from Fairy Tail?"

I shook my head. "No, that's not it. You two look nothing alike."

Erza gasped. "Honey Senpai from Ouran High School Host Club?"

I nodded my head. "Yeah, him!"

"How in the world are we the same?" Erza questioned.

"Simple," I said, finishing the last piece of the cake. "You both love cake way too much and the difference is he had a cavity, while you didn't. Not yet, anyway."

Erza's face saddened. "You ate all of the cake."

I smiled triumphantly. "I know."

Cana's POV:

I was outside the field with Mira. We wanted some peace and quiet, so we went away from the cafeteria and sat outside at the school's P.E. field. We both lied down on the green grass, looking up at the different shaped clouds. There was one that almost looked like a heart and that made my actual heart flutter.

"I can't believe you're going away to college," I said, turning my face to meet her's. "Will you come visit me often?"

Mira laughed, her eyes sparkling with luminescence. "Of course, I'll come visit you. Magnolia University isn't that far away, I believe."

"Yeah, but..." I sighed, not wanting to talk about this topic. "Most couples don't work out when one of the partner attends a different school than the other."

Mira took my hand. "We won't be like those couples. I know it."

I squeezed her hand gently. "Yeah, we're better than them."

We looked up, going back to watching the clouds. I saw the heart again, only this time, it was a much bigger one. I looked at my hand and saw that Mira was still holding it, not wanting to let go. I bumped heads with her, blushing at the small and subtle affection.

I wish we could stay like this forever...

Juvia's POV:

It was the end of the school day and I was walking with Gray back to his house. We were close together that our hands kept touching each other, but I didn't have the courage to actually hold his hand. He may not like it.

"You know," Gray said, looking at me. "You changed a lot over the year."

"I did?" I asked, tilting my head.

He nodded. "You haven't talked in third person for a while now. To be honest, I kind of missed it."

"You do?" I asked surprised. "I thought you hated it."

Gray shook his head. "Not at all. I genuinely thought it was cute." I smiled, but I didn't know whether I should be happy or not. He turned his head away, his eyes now focused on what's in front of him. "Why the sudden change?"

I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing the reason why I did. "I just thought I needed to change," I answered.

"Well, it doesn't matter," he said, a faint smile creeping on his lips. He turned to me, his eyes piercing into mine's. "I'll still like you no matter how you talk."

I beamed. "You really mean it?"

Gray looked down at our hands that constantly kept touching each other. He rolled his eyes and finally held onto it, his expression now satisfied. I, however, was feeling a bit happy inside. The warmth of his hand was enough to send sparks flying down my body, which gave me a little shiver in return.

Gray smiled. "I do."

Lucy's POV:

After saying goodbye to my friends, I went home to pack my things for NYU. The walk was silent. Nothing, but the sound of my footsteps could be heard. I began thinking about the things I was going to leave behind. My friends, my dad, and the memories I made in high school. I couldn't believe I became a freshman in college.

"Is that all you're going to pack, Princess?" Virgo asked, putting my necessities into my black luggage. "You packed really light for staying in New York for four years."

"Six years," I corrected her. "I'm going to get my master's degree, so I'll be staying for six years."

Virgo's smile disappeared. "I won't see you for your eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third birthday?" I nodded, my expression was all, but happy. "I'll miss you, Lucy."

I gave her a sad smile. "Me too, Virgo."

With that, Virgo left the room, closing the door rather lightly. I plopped myself onto the bed, finally done packing to go to New York. I was really happy to be attending their university, albeit only a little. I felt like I was going to leave behind something really important. Other than my friends, my family, and my memories, there was still something that I just couldn't point out.

Out of nowhere, I heard a knock outside the window door, which slightly started me. I got up from my bed and pushed the door aside, which revealed my abandoned balcony. Granted, it was beautiful, but no one ever came out here. Other than sitting outside, there wasn't a whole lot to do. I do visit once or twice a month, but that was pretty much it.

I looked around and there was no one I could see. I could hear the crickets chirping, singing together early in the night. Suddenly, a pebble, about the size of a penny, hit me in the forehead, which I thought left a bruise, but luckily didn't. I went to the edge of the balcony and saw none other than Natsu Dragneel, responsible for throwing the pebbles at me.

"You jerk, you almost killed me!" I shouted, not in the mood to greet him. "What are you doing here this late?"

Natsu put his hands to the side of his mouth and yelled. "I didn't know how to get your attention, so I threw some rocks at your door to get you to come out."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Couldn't you just, I don't know, use the doorbell like any normal human does?"

Natsu looked confused. "Throwing rocks at you wasn't normal?"

I muttered quietly, hitting myself in the head. "What did I ever see in this guy?"

"What did you just say?" Natsu asked, oblivious to what was going on.

I calmed down and put myself back together. "Just come in through the door. I'll open it for you." Natsu smiled and ran to the front door. I rolled my eyes, not in the least bit amused at how he was able to grab my attention. I should've known Natsu would be the kind of person that would think differently than others. Not in a good way, though. I went to the door and chanted quietly. "Please, don't do anything stupid. Please, don't do anything stupid."

Opening the door, I could see Natsu better in the light. He was wearing a black jacket, the zipper only zipped halfway to show his black t-shirt inside and a pair of black shoes, matching the whole look he had going on. The only piece of attire that wasn't black was his jeans, which were a navy blue color. Hate to say this, but at least he had the brains to dress nicely.

"Care to tell me why you're here?" I asked, trying hard not to seemed fazed by his outfit of choice.

Natsu didn't come in, still standing outside the front door. "I just wanted to tell you something, before you leave for your flight." I leaned against the door, waiting for what he had to say. "Jellal told me that you haven't been cheating on me and that what he said was untrue."

In my mind, I wanted to scream so badly at him for taking this long to realize that I haven't been cheating on him. I wanted to tell him how much of an idiot he was for not believing in me. As much as I wanted to do all of that, however, I couldn't. If I were in his position I would've accused me too. So, I just crossed my arms, my expression remained the same.

Natsu continued talking. "I've known this for about a few days, but I didn't know how to apologize to you. I couldn't say that I was sorry, because you deserve more than just an apology from me."

Every emotion that was going on inside my body wasn't even remotely close to what I was looking like outside. There was a warm sensation that I felt deep within my stomach that made me feel happy and touched, but I didn't show that to him. Instead, I showed him what I wanted him to know. I wanted him to know that I haven't forgiven him about anything. I wanted him to feel guilty for taking so long to realize that I would never see Gray behind his back. I was a mix between sweet and sour.

"And?" I asked, purposely trying to act harshly. There was a sharp pang in my heart, after I've said that to him. Admittedly, I did regret the word choice I've made, but I ignored that feeling, knowing that I had every right to be angry at him.

Natsu folded his hands together. "I wanted to tell you how much of a jerk I've been to you. I should've believed in you when you told me that you didn't see Gray behind my back. I know you're not the type of person to do something that could potentially hurt the other person, but I was afraid that if you did cheat on me, I was going to get hurt again, just like the time my dad left me and my mom without looking back."

My whole tough act dropped and it was replaced with sympathy and sadness. I fought back the tears that threatened to escape my eyes and I was worried that if I started talking, my voice would be all hoarse.

Natsu took my hand. "I want to show you something."

"Where?" I asked.

Natsu pulled me outside. I closed the door behind me, knowing I had a spare key under the carpet. I immediately rubbed my hands together, not a big fan of how cold it was outside. Natsu went behind me and used his hands to cover my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked, not liking the loss of my sight.

Natsu started walking, forcing me to awkwardly walk in sync with him. "It's a surprise."

I groaned in response, hoping that the walk wasn't long. The first part of the walk was alright. I stumbled once or twice, but the sidewalk was smooth, so I didn't complain all that much. As we progressed farther, however, I kept tripping and Natsu had to catch me a considerable number of times. The ground felt more cold and ticklish, which lead me to believe we were now walking on grass.

We finally stopped in a place that felt oddly familiar. I couldn't see it, but the time to get there and the feeling of the grass on my exposed feet made me certain I knew where we were. My answer was then confirmed when Natsu took his hands off to reveal Fairy Hills, the place Mira asked me to go to to meet Natsu. I couldn't help, but smile at the remembrance.

"Why are we here?" I asked. Natsu took out something from his pocket. He hid it inside his closed hands, but I could make out a chain of some sort. "What is that?"

"I wanted to apologize to you the right way," Natsu said, changing the subject. "I asked some of your friends something that you wanted for a long time. A lot people said different answers."

"You got me something, didn't you?" I asked, knowing where this was heading.

"Yes, but bare with me for a second." Natsu showed me what was in his hands. He gave a silver whistle and I took it, not knowing what to do with it. He smiled. "Blow on it."

I listened to him and blew on the whistle, the sound unpleasant to my ears. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but I didn't question it, thinking that something was supposed to happened. Natsu wouldn't have gotten through this amount of trouble for no reason. My eyes jolted up, as I heard a sound of a distant bark. I looked behind me and saw a dog coming towards me. I didn't have time to react and the dog launched itself towards me, slobbering my face with it's saliva. It felt gross, but I didn't mind. Dogs were my favorite animal. Especially, a Golden Retriever.

"How did you know I love dogs?" I asked, so happy to be able to pet it. I never owned a single pet in my life. I've always wanted a dog, but my dad thought I was irresponsible, but I knew that wasn't true. It was just an excuse of his, so he wouldn't have to clean up the house all the time. I decided that when I was old enough to afford my own place and get a stable job that I would get myself a dog, but apparently, I was getting one now.

"As I was saying, I asked some of your friends what was something you've wanted for a long time, but they were either really expensive or out of the country." I rolled my eyes, though I knew it was true. Who could blame me for liking shiny things? "So, I did a little thinking and I remembered you telling me that you wished you had a dog."

I sat down and nuzzled noses with the dog, paying only half of my attention to Natsu. Natsu rolled his eyes and whistled at the dog, which made the dog sit up straight. I pouted, giving Natsu a small glare. I still couldn't believe that Natsu gave me a Golden Retriever. It felt a bit far-fetched.

"How did you get it," I asked, ruffling the dog's back.

Natsu sat next to me. "Igneel said he knew a friend that ran an animal rescue, so I went there and decided to adopt a dog for you."

I smiled, my heart fluttering with contentment. To have someone go so far to overdo an apology just for me, deserves to be with someone more special than me. The fact that that person was Natsu made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He may have taken a long time to realize something I didn't do, but I couldn't believe I've taken this long to notice how fortunate I was to have met such an incredible guy.

I couldn't hold back the feeling anymore and let the tears escape. I sniffled quietly, not wanting to make such a big deal over something that was supposed to be a joyous occasion. I was glad that Natsu wasn't able to see me in the dark. I bet my eyes were red from all of the crying. It didn't take long for him to hear the sniffles that I tried so hard to not get heard.

"Are you crying?" Natsu asked, slightly amazed by how easily moved I was. I nodded my head, not wanting him to hear my attempt of a normal voice. I sound like a dying person every time I cried.

"I can't help it. I love it so much," I said, crying even louder.

Natsu scooted closer to me, giving me one of his bear hugs. "Don't cry, Luce. You look ugly when you cry." I gasped, hitting him in the stomach. He didn't seem affected by it and laughed it off. "I'm just kidding. You'll always be pretty to me."

I smiled. "Does my dad know I have a pet now?"

Natsu rubbed his neck. "Not yet... I'll tell him later."

I nodded my head and the both of us, including my dog, walked all the way back to my place. As much as I never wanted to forget this moment, it was unexpectedly took over by the thought of me leaving to New York, once again. I wasn't that sad anymore, now that I have a dog that could keep me company. It was the thought of me leaving my old life to start a new one in a different location. My thoughts were then vanished, as we made it to the front of my house.

Natsu was the first to speak. "I told the airport in advance that you have a dog coming with you. I paid the extra money already, so you can take it with you." I nodded my head, but I didn't want to sneak the dog with me to the house. I didn't want my dad to figure out and have him tell me to give the dog back to the animal shelter. I already grew fond of it.

"Is it possible you can keep the dog and bring it to the airport on Monday at six in the morning?" I asked, hoping he'll accept my request. "I don't want my dad to find out I have a dog that I didn't tell him about it."

Natsu nodded. "Yeah, no problem."

I grinned and looked to my dog, as it wagged it's tail back and forth. I gave my unnamed dog a hug and it barked back in response, sticking it's tongue out in the process. I turned towards Natsu and did the one thing that came into my mind. I would've settled for a hug, but he did so much for me that a hug didn't seem like enough. Instead, I kissed him on the cheek and judging by his reaction, he was not expecting that at all. I grabbed the spare key that was under the carpet and unlocked the front door to go inside. I waved goodbye and slowly closed the door, taking one last look at Natsu's blushing face.

-ATTENTION-

I have something really important I hope you guys can do for me. Just a reminder, in case any of you guys forgot, would you leave some questions that you want to know about me? It's for the Q&A that I'm going to do if the majority of the people vote for that option.

This is not the end! It is, however, the second to last chapter of this fanfic. I can't believe I have written this book for over a year now and I'm sad to say it's almost coming to a close. Don't worry, though! The ending will be great! I hope...
