Lucy Heartfilia woke up on the 1st of July,feeling all excited for the day-her birthday.And she was even еще excited for she had finally turned 18 this year.Well technically she would have been 24 but since she had been caught up in a 7 years gap, she remained the same 17 год old until today.She didn't expect parties and sort,for usually there would be a grand party every год during her early childhood,always hoisted by the maids and butlers of the grand mansion.But sadly since her father never had time for her,she had never really fancied the glamorous parties.
But this год was different.Even though she had told no one about her birthday,she was happy to spend the день with her Друзья she cherished the most.For usually the guild-or to be еще specific, a certain dragon slayer and his blue haired patner-never made her feel lonely.And that was what she wanted.To have cherish able memories on her birthday.
Lucy was relaxing in her bath tub, wondering what she would do for the день when suddenly she felt like drowning. Thats when she realised-she really was drowning.
"What the.."
"Ha! so Ты finally come of that age,took Ты 7 years longer" сказал(-а) a familiar haughty voice.Lucy found herself face to face with a blue mermaid,her arrogant celestial spirit-Aquarius.
"Aquarius,what are Ты doing here?"she shuddered.
"Do Ты have a problem"she glared."
"No m-ma'am" squeaked Lucy.
"I can see why Leo and Virgo do this often.Seems fun, scare Ты more"she smirked.But her smirk itself is enough to send shivers down her Mistress's spines.
"Why are Ты here?"Lucy signed.
"What! I shouldn't wish Ты happy birthday
then?"she glared again.
Lucy blinked for a few секунды as she registered that it was Aquarius who wished her first.FIRST.She wouldn't have been that surprised if Loke или Virgo,but Aquarius?
Seems her spirit realised this as she added quickly"Scorpio and the others forced me to,so don't get the wrong idea."
But Lucy knew better as she smiled warmly"Right~Anyway thanks"
"If Ты didn't like Aquarius-san to wish Ты first punish me Hime." Virgo stated appearing out the water Далее to her."Happy Birthday Hime"
"Virgo!"Lucy сказал(-а) happily,arms outstretched,still sitting in her bath tub"Thank you!"
"Well anyway here"interrupted Aquarius as she held out something which looked suspiciously like a Любовь charm."What is it?"Lucy asked.
"Tsk.Tsk.Its a good luck Любовь charm.Don't worry its not an actual Любовь charm.I know those are banned. Lets just hope that Ты can finally find yourself a boyfriend"she smirked again.Lucy sweat dropped. She definitely didn't have sane Celestial spirits.
Soon Lucy finished her bath.She wore the new outfit,Virgo's present(Virgo originally stated to punish her as Lucy's present but Lucy gave her a huge denial) and was all set for the день when еще of her spirits came out two by two and wished her.
"Lucy-sama,you look wonderful today"Capricorn stated.It was true though.With Cancer's hair style matching to the outfit which Virgo gave,Lucy did look stunning.
"Of course,dear Lucy always looked beautiful"Loke commented.Lucy blushed slightly."And the Spirit King also sends his blessings to you"he added.
"Thank Ты both and send my thanks to him too"she сказал(-а) happily.All the others spirits had wished her and left quickly,not wanting to lower her magical powers and make her tired to ruin the day.
"Ah and Lucy-sama,I am supposed to give this to Ты on your 18th birthday,it was дана to me by Layla-sama before my departure from her.She told me to give this when Ты come of age so,here"Capricorn gave her a small Музыка box.
"From Mama?"Lucy questioned,surprised,as she opened it.She found a locket inside.She opened the locket and saw a picture of her mother,father and a younger version of herself with her doll,Michelle in her hands.She remembered that this was the last family picture taken together before her mother died.
"Lucy-sama there is a note too"Capricorn сказал(-а) quietly.
Lucy saw that the note was addressed to her by her mother.
"Lucy sweetheart,I may not know if Ты receive this или not.I may not know if I'm far или near enough to reach you.But I always know that Ты will grow up into the strong determined woman I've dreamed up to be.And even if I'm not near,remember that I always watch over you. Follow your сердце and pursue your dreams.
Любовь you.
Layla H. "
A small tear drop fell from Lucy's eyes but she quickly wiped it.She looked outside the window and whispered"Thank you,Mama"
"Thank Ты very much Capricorn"
"My pleasure Lucy-sama"With that Capricorn went back to the Spirit world.Only Loke remained.
"Finally I can give Ты your birthday present"
"Which is?"
"A kiss"
"Wh-what? No way!"Lucy flustered.
Loke chuckled."Just kidding.I'm gonna take Ты to a restaurant,my treat"
"Restaurant? But thought of going to the guild and..."
"We'll come back before evening.You can go to the guild then."
"But Natsu .."
"No buts! If your thinking that Natsu might worry about you, just leave a note,saying that you'll be back soon.He'll understand."
"Umm ok"
~*~*~
"That was good "Lucy exclaimed as the Spirit and Mistress walked along the familiar path to the guild."Thanks Loke"
"Glad Ты enjoyed it Lucy"
"But the restaurant was an expensive one.Where did Ты get the money to pay?"Lucy questioned.
"Well I borrowed it from the guild members "he сказал(-а) nonchalantly.
"So thats why Ты wanted to see them so badly yesterday"Lucy сказал(-а) to herself.They now stood in front of the guild's door.Lucy opened them as she called out.
"Hey everyone ,sorry I’m late..."
"SURPRISE! "
"KYAAAAA"Lucy screamed a little and she closed her eyes.She slowly opened them to see the guild decorated and was in the spirit of partying."What the..."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!" Everyone wished together."BIRTHDAY TO LUCY"Natsu's voice rang clearer than anyone
"How did Ты guys know about it?Lucy asked confused.
"Me of course!"Loke smirked.
"Lucy, how could Ты not tell us about it?"Natsu yelled.
"So imagine to our surprise when Loke yesterday asked about the preparations.We were clearly confused that it was your birthday today.And since we had only a день to organise,buy your presents and such Loke offered to keep Ты away from the guild while we finish"Mira explained.
"Though I offered to keep Ты busy,but no one listened"Natsu сказал(-а) dejected.
"You would have messed it up или blurted it out"Gray snickered.
"Would not!"
"Would too!"
"BOYS! DO I SMELL A FIGHT!"Ezra barked.
"No ma'am"they yelped.
Lucy giggled as she was pushed to the center by Lisanna and Levy.The cake Mira made was big, enough to feed an army.For once Lucy enjoyed being the center of attention.Loke returned to the Spirit world feeling his job was done.Lucy received gifts from her Друзья and guild mates too.
Happy gave her a fish,Gray gave her an ice sculpture of herself,stating that the ice never melts.Erza gave her an armor suit.Levy gave her a book, Wendy and Carla gave her some ribbons and head bands,Cana an expensive wine bottle of course,saying that Lucy wasn't underage anymore to drink.Gajeel gave her a bunny costume and would have forced Lucy to wear it if it wasn't for Levy to save her.
"Whats this Mira-san?"Lucy asked suspiciously at Mira's present.
"A Любовь charm Lucy"she said,giving Lucy the most innocent smile of hers.And Lucy never doubted Mira and Aquarius to be so similar.
She got еще from Juvia(surprisingly), Lisanna, Elfman, Romeo and from others members of the guild.
"Lucy!"Natsu finally came to give his to her.He had a rather large package and Lucy felt she was еще eager to receive his than the others.The others were curious too to see what the dense dragon slayer would have brought for the birthday girl.She opened it slowly,silently praying to the heavens above that Natsu didn't get her a stupid present.On first glance the box looked like it contained just Болталка articles, that people would call it...
"Junk"Glay declared.
"It’s not junk"Lucy said,beating Natsu to it.
"Aye.Its not!These are Natsu's memories of Lucy"Happy stated.
That's when everyone realised that the Болталка Статьи were souvenirs that Natsu collected when he was with Lucy.
"Well I couldn't get any present in such a short time and I didn't want to come empty handed so I decided to give Ты things that remind Ты of our memories together"Natsu сказал(-а) sheepishly.
"Thanks, that’s really nice of you"Lucy сказал(-а) blushing.
Everyone left to devour the cake before Natsu или Erza could finish it.Lucy closed the box and kept on the таблица along with the other presents.And she felt Natsu’s eyes never leaving her.
“You look nice”
She spun around at him.”What?”
“I.. err.. I сказал(-а) Happy Birthday Lucy”he сказал(-а) nodding his head fervently,as if trying to convince himself еще than her.
“Thank Ты Natsu”she smiled , hiding her blush and both went to eat the cake made by Mira.
Soon the whole guild sat for Reedus to draw fairy tail together.Lucy asked for a smaller version of the picture, such that it would fit her new locket.
"Ooh ya,lets finish the party witha song"Gajeel's voice rang out.Everyone looked mortified to see him in his white suit with a гитара in his hand,as he began to sing.
"Stop Пение metal head.We don't want a funeral on Lucy's birthday"Natsu shouted as he threw a large mug at Gajeel's head.
"You insult my Пение talent Salamandar?"Gajeel yelled as he threw his гитара at the огонь mage. Unfortunately Natsu dodged and it hit on Gray.
"You picking on a fight metal head?"
"Bring it on stripper"
"I'm all fired up!"
"Shut up огонь freak,you started it"
"Who your calling a freak,put some cloths"
"Shit my cloths"
"Joining the fight is manly"
"Elf-nii-chan your only making it worse"
"Who crushed my 12th slice of my cake?I'm
gonna kill Ты all"
"Sorry Erza!"
"Go Gray-sama~"
"Go Natsu-nii~"
"Aye !Go Natsu"
"Don't worry Levy-chan,we'll protect you"
"But Jet,Droy,I'm not the one fighting,protect Gajeel!"
"It’s a miracle that a normal birthday party turn into a full fledge fight"Lisanna signed Далее to Lucy.
"But that’s what makes fairy tail special right?"Lucy smiled a warm genuine smile.
Normally it would be Lucy who complained about the fights but seeing her happy,Lisanna realised that Lucy enjoyed the fights еще than she let on.
"I remember the same happening once on my birthday"Lisanna commented.
"Figures. They never change. So what happened in the end?"Lucy smiled.
Lisanna couldn't help but smile back. Honestly she was worried that Lucy might feel that her party was ruined,but seems Lucy didn't much about it,for unknown to Lisanna,it was this kind of birthday that Lucy wanted.A birthday where she was with her friends.
To put it short, it was best birthday that she had ever wished for.
But this год was different.Even though she had told no one about her birthday,she was happy to spend the день with her Друзья she cherished the most.For usually the guild-or to be еще specific, a certain dragon slayer and his blue haired patner-never made her feel lonely.And that was what she wanted.To have cherish able memories on her birthday.
