Lovely was the memory that was shared by us two.

She's my Momma 03

Days turned into a week, 1 week since the day Lisanna and Natsu announced their relationship to the Guild. After announcing it all out the guild partied and congratulations were tossed here and there, fortunately their guild mates bet on something and Cana won. Mira sulked all day together with Happy.

Mostly they were happy for the two, although not all. For example Mira, she literally fainted and didn't get up for a day, the next day she sulked and frown, another was Levy who wanted to strangle Natsu, unfortunately for her she lost the bet. And the list goes on who does not like the pairing but clearly if this relationship makes Natsu happy then so be it, was what Erza and Gray said.

Apart from that, it has already been 1 week since Happy moved in to Lucy's place. He just said that Natsu and Lisanna has to have their alone time. But clearly his expression says so the otherwise. And most surprisingly it has been 3 days since Mira, Happy, Levy, Gajeel and Gray huddled up.

But enough with that, Lucy and Happy were now at the guild, it is already eight in the morning, and slowly but surely their guild mates were now coming in any minute or any seconds. The duo sat comfortably on the stool at the bar.

"Mira~ one strawberry milkshake please" Lucy called, smiling brightly at the barmaid.

"Someone looks happy today" she asks suspiciously, a small smile on her lips, although she never really liked the new born couple she needs to suck it up and turn back to her old self.

"We're going on a job today Mira" Happy beamed at the barmaid, her eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Just the two of you?" she asks, worry plastered on her face.

"With team Natsu of course" Erza answered for them.

"Morning Erza" Lucy and Happy chimed.

"G'morning Lucy, Happy" she sat besides Lucy and got out a piece of strawberry cake in hand.

"Did you already decide on which mission we're going on Erza?" Lucy asked facing the scarlet-haired woman beside her.

"Yes, Gray picked a mission yesterday; did you both already pack?" she asked the duo who grinned at her and gestured their hands on the floor.

Lucy's pink bag splattered on the floor with hers and Happy's necessities, moments later a bag sat besides Lucy's. A navy colored sports bags with Gray's initial on both sides.

"You both ready?" he asked the two women in front of him.

"Yeah just waiting on Natsu" Happy stated chewing on a raw fish that he got from Mira.

"Where in hell is that pyro?" he asked to no one in particular whilst looking around.

And as if on cue, the doors slammed open by no other than their idiotic dragon slayer. A wide grin was plastered on his face; a backpack on his back, beside him was his girlfriend all equipped and ready for their job.

The four- including Happy of course; looked at them both with confusion on their face. Was Lisanna coming with them? The four glances back and forth to each other, all having the same confused face, they did not see this coming at all.

"Yosh! I'm here lets go" he shouted at his team.

As team Natsu walk towards the train station, Natsu and Lisanna in the lead, Lucy and Happy at their middle and Erza and Gray behind them all. Both look at each other as if they were talking internally.

"Ne, Gray which place are we going?" Lucy asked glancing behind to look at him, Happy followed suite and look at the ice-make mage.

Gray dug into his pockets to retrieve their mission paper, once his fingers finally found them he easily took 'em out and carefully read the mission in hand.

"Apparently it is located on Mt. Hakobe" he said still eyeing the piece of paper.

"What are we getting on Gray?" Erza asked looking forward.

"We are going to look for a special kind of flower that grows every 100 years. It is said to be a very powerful herbal flower." He stated and put the paper back on his pants.

"It pays much, and much to our blondes liking the pay is about 400 000 000 jewels, totally worth it. Right Lucy?" Gray grinned eyeing the blonde celestial-mage whose eyes turned into jewels.

"Rent Money here I come!" she pumped her fist and fasten her pace.

"Aye! Don't forget my fishes Lushe~" Happy followed Lucy to the train station flying.

The group followed suite and ran towards the train station. Upon reaching the station they hurriedly bought 5 tickets to Mt. Hakobe, just as they entered the station their ride arrived. With no time to waste they entered and found a cabin that fit them all.

Erza, Gray and Lucy sat at the opposite side of Natsu, Lisanna and Happy. Natsu turned green at once and plop on his sit near the window, gurgling incoherent words and trying not to puke, Lisanna rubbed Natsu's back while Happy just stayed silent and eyed Lucy hoping for her to look at him too.

Erza, Gray and Lucy just sweat drop at the scene and looked away, Gray glanced at Lucy hoping she wasn't too awkward at the couple in front of them, sighing he turned his head to Erza.

"Lucy?" Erza started.

"Yes Erza?" Lucy answered, looking at her over Gray.

"It would be wise for you to change now; we are going to Mt. Hakobe" Gray advice, motioning her out.

Lucy than made an 'o' and quickly went out their cabin with her bag, with a smile and a thanks she immediately run out. Knowing she was out of sight, Erza stood up and went towards the couple.

"I'll take care of him Lisanna" Erza stated, or more like ordered.

Nodding the white-haired women then moved aside, Erza was now between the couple. Natsu shivered and groaned, much to his dismay he wanted Lucy to take-care of him, the way his head felt on her lap, her fingers brushing on to his hair, he sighs in content of the memory.

Later on Lucy got back just as the train started moving, she was now wearing a much warmer clothes. Her eyebrow raised at the new seating arrangement, Gray was now at the window, Happy besides him then her. With no words she just sits and plop her bag down.

"Lushee~" Happy called, turning her head to look at the exceed next to her she smiles and hummed.

"Yes, Happy?" she questions.

"Did you also pack me some fish?" he asks, head tilted to the side.

"I did, you did told me to pack you some, remember?" she answered and was reaching out to her bag but stopped when Happy put his paw on her lap.

"I just asked I'll eat them later" he smiles then grinned, going to his happy place.

"If you say so" Lucy stated and pats his head making his grin wide.

Happy wanted to tease Natsu, letting him know that his mother loved him more than Natsu. And of course Natsu got the message, he groaned and protested.

"Not fair~" he gurgled, trying to ease his churning stomach.

"Luce~" he whined and turned to his partner, trying to put on his best puppy eyes and whimpered.

Gray sweat drop at his rivals action, how he wanted to smack him right on the head, Lisanna was right there for Mavis sake Gray thought. Lisanna's head then whipped to Lucy's side, Lucy laughed awkwardly, and put her hands up in surrender.

"Luucceee~" he dragged on. "Help me~".

Sighing Lucy looked at Erza, for any gesture to help or she should just smack him out. Erza smiled at Lucy, no teeth to show. She raises her armed hands and batted Natsu's head, making him unconscious for a moment.

"Now, that's better. Rest up we have an hour to get to our destination" Erza stated and crosses her arms.

Nodding, Gray just leaned on the windows side and closes his eyes, Happy climbed unto Lucy's lap and leaned on her stomach, Lucy wrapped her arms on Happy and leaned back. Natsu was twitching on his sit but unconscious, Erza has her eyes close but still tense, Lisanna on the other hand has her eyes open and is looking at both Lucy and Happy.

That was supposed to be her; she was supposed to be the one who'll cradle Happy to sleep. But what can she do? Happy chose Lucy to take him in while he slept, sighing she then stared at Natsu. The way he called her out for help aches her heart, wasn't she his girlfriend? Why not call her name?

With one last sigh she closes her eyes and tried to sleep, but keyword 'tried'. She couldn't, she knew she has lots of gaps and catching up to do but she just don't know how. It had been what? 7? 8? Years since she got home, but her time and attention was always on Natsu, when the three of them do go on fishing she never really did try to converse a conversation with Happy, just Natsu.

Then finally, a plan clouded her mind, smiling she knew this plan would just work. She'll discus this plan with Natsu once this mission was over, maybe then Happy would open up to her and then they will be a family.

A content smile danced on the take-over mage's face, and of course that did not go unnoticed to Happy. Just as Lisanna was closing her eyes, Happy opened his eyes he does not know why but the smile on Lisanna's face did not sit him well.
