“Hmm…..Father, you guys go ahead, I’ll go over to Fairy Tail for a minute”, Elizabeth ran off to the group.

“AH Elizabeth!”, Erza and the rest greeted her.

“Umm….well….”, Elizabeth started. Surely, they could still hold a grudge for everything she did to them and to Lucy as well.

“What is it my child? Do you have something with my family?’, Master Makarov asked her rather too sweetly.

“I’m sorry!”, she announced with her head bowed in front of them.

“Oh….that’s right. You did so many wrong things in just a few days. You used influence to make us agree on your terms. You made my children suffer. You tried to disturb the bond between my children. You used Natsu on selfish reasons. You tried to harm Lucy. You raised your hands on our guild. I should never forgive you for that”, Master Makarov said.

Elizabeth, with her head bowed so lowly, feels like she’s going to cry from everything she’s been told.

“But…..I don’t care at all”

Elizabeth looked up with surprise as she hears what he said. She saw Erza, Lisanna and all other Fairy Tail members smiling at her.

“Wha….”, she gasped.

“Everybody makes mistakes, my children, you, myself included, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make up for it. There are ties severed by time but it can be rebuilt if you just take a step forward. Fairy Tail, will always welcome you as a friend”, Master Makarov nodded at her.

“How…how can you forgive me so easily? I thought you will be furious with me”, Elizabeth cried.

“That is something we decide for ourselves my child. Fairy Tail is a guild that nurtures feelings. One of us treats you as a friend so we should do the same”, Master Makarov explained.

“We were just worried that you would continue to walk down the wrong path but now that you found the right way towards your redemption, I think it’s just fair to give you another chance”, Master Makarov smiled and with that, Elizabeth literally hugged the Master tightly and cried.

When all the tears were replaced by joy, she started laughing with them.

“Oh by the way, are you going to the viewing this evening?”, Elizabeth asked.

“Of course. We won’t miss it with anything”, Erza explained.

“Natsu-sama said the Cherry Blossoms turns it’s colors into rainbow at night”, Elizabeth said.

“You got that right. It’s the most beautiful thing in here”, Lisanna shared.

“Wait, speaking of it, where’s Lucy and Natsu-sama? I haven’t seen them since I came in here”, Elizabeth said.

“Lucy? Ah, you didn’t notice? They were left behind in Aclypha”, Erza said.

“Aren’t they going to join the viewing?”

“They’ll come. Lucy loves the Cherry Blossom trees and Natsu makes sure she sees it. You know the first year Lucy joined Fairy Tail? She missed the Harvest Festival with us because she caught a cold”, Cana said.

“Eh? Then Lucy missed her first year in seeing the Sakura Blossoms together with Fairy Tail?”, Elizabeth looks a little sad and disappointed.

“Well, I wouldn’t say she missed it completely”, Mirajane suddenly appeared beside her.

“What do you mean?”, Elizabeth asked.

“That’s because Natsu…he uprooted a Cherry Blossom Tree just for her to see! He used a large pot and made it float in the river passing Lucy’s apartment so she could see it through the window”, Mirajane squealed at the memory.

“WHAT? REALLY?”, Elizabeth blushed at what she heard.

“You bet! Natsu is really cute when he’s concerned about others”, Lisanna smiled as well.

“Why didn’t they come with us earlier? I’m pretty sure our carriage is enough for everyone though”, Elizabeth said.

“Well…”

“We came again, Mama, Papa”, Lucy placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the stones.

“Natsu and Happy are close, they said they have something else to do but I think they’re just too shy to meet you two”, Lucy laughed. “I made up with Elizabeth, you remember her?”, Lucy shared as she use her time sitting near the grave stones.

“Natsu…”, Happy mumbled. “Why can’t we just go with Lucy?”, they were sitting five meters away from where Lucy is.

“Well, she needs to talk to them. If we go with her she might end up crying all over”, Natsu said.

After a few more minutes, Natsu’s ear perked when he heard Lucy footsteps.

“You’re finished?”, Natsu asked.

“Yeah, thanks for accompanying me”, Lucy smiled at her.

“It’s no problem. Let’s go back home, we have to be ready before the Cherry Blossoms viewing starts”, Natsu said.

“Yeah”, she smiled as she walks together with him.

“WAAHHH! This is really pretty!”, Elizabeth exclaimed. She was standing together with Natsu and Lucy.

“Right? I told you they’re the best!”, Natsu grinned at her. Elizabeth blushed.

“Look Lucy! Those leaves has an even better colour than the others!”, Natsu pointed catching Lucy’s attention.

“Idiot, almost every trees are the same”, Lucy laughed.

“What do you mean the same? Those colors are more lively than that! I know because I have a better eyesight remember?”, Natsu pouted.

“Yeah, yeah”, Lucy sighed. Elizabeth laughed at them both.

“That’s right. I can never win Natsu-sama over her”, Elizabeth sadly smiled.

“Elizabeth….”, Lucy whispered. “I’ll leave you two alone for a while, with that, tell him how you really feels alright?”. Lucy smiled as she gave her a pat on the back and left them together with Happy.

“Lucy, Happy! Look in there! There…..Huh? Where’s Lucy?”, Natsu looked around but Lucy was nowhere in sight. "Happy's gone too"

“Natsu-sama…”, Elizabeth started.

“Hm? What is it? Have you seen Lucy and Happy?”, Natsu asked.

“Umm…..Lucy and Happy, went somewhere. They’ll be back later”, Elizabeth answered.

“Really? Alright”, Natsu looked at the trees again.

“Natsu-sama….I……I….I LIKE YOU!”, she shouted out with all the courage she gathered. Her blushing face can’t be tamed.

“Really? I like you too”, Natsu replied right away and grinned. Elizabeth smiled brightly with what she heard.

“Natsu-sama…I….”

“Oh and I like Fairy Tail too”, Natsu continued. “I like Happy and Lucy. I like fire, Erza when she’s sleeping, Gray when he’s not being a jerk, Gramps, Happy’s tail, Lucy’s scent and her apartment. I like Lucy’s bed the most though”, Natsu said as he thought it over and grinned all the way.

“Eh?”, Elizabeth couldn’t believe what she just heard.

“THAT IDIOT!”, a few murmurs can be heard from some group of both girls and boys in Fairy Tail who hid themselves in some far corners of the Cherry blossom trees.

“You mean…..Natsu-sama….”, Elizabeth sighed. “Alright, umm, can I just ask you something?”

“Sure, what is it?”, Natsu looked at her.

“Now that I am a wizard, I can join Fairy Tail right? If that so happens, will you take me in your team?”, Elizabeth asked. All ears perked and wanted to listen to what Natsu’s answer might be.

“Hmm? That’s right….it’s up to you if you want to join our guild…..”, Natsu scratched the back of his head.

“Then I can become your partner and…..”

“Sorry”, Natsu interrupted.

“Huh?”

“I can’t take you as a partner in my team”, he finished.
