A memory that we could no longer go back to.

She's my Momma 04

Time skip 2 weeks~

Team Natsu easily finished their job and got their reward money, surprisingly full. Although they did get their reward on full payment that doesn't mean that Mt. Hakobe was intact, no it was the opposite. Just as they picked the flower Natsu yelled making a huge avalanche, and of course being the idiot he is he 'fire dragon roared' the damn snow.

Resulting for Erza to slash the top mountain out, and Gray freezing the rolling avalanche before it would sack them all up, Lucy paled and muttered about rent while Happy danced and teases Lucy, not until she reminded him his fishes though. Lisanna though, she felt like she was out of place for once, this was her first time going on a job with team Natsu, and now she knows why this group was destructive.

Present time, it was a beautiful Wednesday morning, Lucy sat comfortably on the bar stool drinking happily with her strawberry milkshake. It was supposed to be beautiful, not until a certain fire dragon slayer came in and slammed the door opened. The sudden opening made a certain barrel fly out towards a naked ice-make mage, and so the fighting began.

"This never really does change, no?" Lucy sighs and places her chin unto her palms.

All of a sudden a blur of blue suddenly crashed into Lucy's chest he was giggling while tackling the blonde. He was now a ball of sunshine, his grin wide as a plate.

"Why, someone's happy" Lucy teases, slowly standing up from the sudden tackle.

"Who wouldn't be?!" Happy exclaimed, throwing his paws upwards.

"And why is that?" asked the smiling barmaid.

"Tomorrow's our yearly Family Day, Mira" Happy beamed jumping up and down from the counter.

"Tomorrow will be the Lushee, Happy, and Natsu Day! The Dragneel's Yearly Family Day" he exclaimed loudly, the guild mates who heard chuckled at Happy's excitement.

"How adorable, who came up with that?" Mira asked while wiping the counter.

"We agreed unto it" Natsu answered coming in to the conversation, he swings his right arm towards Lucy's neck and scooped Happy with his left arm.

"Aye!" Happy agreed raising a paw.

"Yo Luce!" Natsu grins, showing his fangs out.

"Hey Natsu" Lucy greeted, Natsu then let his arms out of her neck and sits beside her.

"I haven't really seen you in a while now Luce, where have ya' been?" he murmured puffing his cheeks as if he was mad.

"Oh? And now it's my fault? Who hasn't been on the guild lately?" Luce snap back, eyebrow twitching and a tick mark on the side.

"Oh well, Ha ha, my bad" he said sheepishly, making Happy snicker at his fathers behavior.

"Whatever Natsu" Lucy dismissed, now looking at his best friend.

He never really did changed, not even the slightest bit although his now busy but still the same Natsu. And even though he's now in a relationship his still the same Natsu that she knew, smiling at her best friend who was now gulping every food Mira brought for him.

"I kind 'a did missed you Natsu" she blurted; shocked Natsu stopped eating and faced her.

His face now tinted with pink, eyes wide, with his mouth hanging wide. Lucy just stared at him and giggle, what's wrong of saying she missed her best friend? It's been quite a while since they really talked to each other.

"She lilililililililikes him~" Happy snickered at his mom and dad. Liking the way how Natsu's blush darkens and how Lucy's face flushed.

"Damn cat! Can't I miss my own best friend?!" she exclaimed now looking at Happy with dark eyes.

"Aye! And here I thought I was your new best friend" he teases them both.

"What?! Oh you did not just replace me!" Natsu exclaimed tackling both the blonde and his furry buddy.

"S-stop HAHAHA stop it HAHA Natsu! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Lucy begged, she was being tickled by Natsu and Happy.

"Oh~ you want me to stop eh? What do you think Happy, should we?" Natsu teased and stop for a while to ask Happy.

"Hmm~ no!" and so the tickle just continued making Lucy cry of laughter.

The blondes laughter made some of the guild members to look at their way making them smile, if any members did not know better they would thought that Natsu and Lucy were dating and that Happy was their little exceed son.

"I bet it 10 000 jewels for Natsu to realize his feelings for Lucy sooner rather than later" Cana bet, placing 10 000 jewels on the table.

"It would still take some time though, maybe next year?" Levy argued placing 10 000 jewels opposite to Cana's money.

"Who do you think would confess first?" Wendy whispered at the two older women.

"I bet Lucy will" Cana again slammed 10 000 jewels with her own other money.

"Natsu" Erza popped out of nowhere and dropped her money.

"I bet on flame-thrower" Gray dropped his money next to Erza's.

And so other members came and bet on their candidate, but not a moment soon one question swarmed a whole lot other money for this one.

"When would they break up?" a random member asked, not really meaning to hurt the youngest Strauss, but clearly they all know it would happen soon.

"Soon" Cana said vaguely, and bet 50 000 jewels.

"Quite a while longer" Mira suggested and bet 50 000 jewels, making some of the members eyes widen of her sudden intrusion.

"What? Just because she's my sister doesn't mean I like their ship. This is NaLu we're talking about, and that ship shall sail" Mira said sternly, gaining a whole lot of nods agreeing with her.

Their bets soon died down when a certain white-haired woman strolled in, her eyes scanning for her boyfriend. She then found him with Happy and Lucy on the floor, laughing and having fun. Jealous at the mere sight of him being near her, she then quietly approached the group, masking her jealous face with a smile.

"Natsu~ Happy~" she called waving a hand.

"Hi Lucy" she greeted smiling at the blonde.

"Hey Lisanna/Lis" they greeted, and went back to their seats.

"Natsu? Have you already told Happy?" she asks sweetly, confusion was written all over their face, including the said person.

"Told Happy what?"Natsu asked tilting his head to the side, raising one eyebrow.

"About tomorrow" she said while rolling her eyes and now sitting beside her boyfriend. Two heads then whipped at Natsu's direction.

They already have things planned for tomorrow, eyebrows furrowed as they wait for what Natsu has to say. Realization then struck his mind he then glanced at his two best friends who looks at him expectantly, their minds screaming 'no' at what they both have in mind.

"Umm..." Natsu started and glances back and forth from his two companion to his girlfriend.

"If not you should go talk to him, Lucy and I have something to talk about too" now two heads were looking at Lucy's direction, while Lucy's eyes locked unto Lisanna's as if she has just grown another head.

"We do/You do?" Lucy asks Lisanna, Natsu and Happy ask Lucy. Lucy then glances back to her two favorite boys with an eyebrow raised as if saying I-don't-know.

"Okay~?" the trio said simultaneously.

Lisanna then clapped her hands together and said 'okay' she than dragged Lucy by the hands and out the guild hall, Natsu and Happy sat there all confused and bewildered at how Lisanna acted.

"Bet ya' all this smells trouble" Gajeel spoke and down his money go, not a minute later money soon piled up on his.

Meanwhile Lucy and Lisanna were now at the back of the guild, silence corrupted in the air. An uncomfortable silence surrounded them both, Lucy then glances back and forth from her feet to Lisanna, the white haired woman on the other hand breathes in and out trying to calm her clouded mind.

"Hey Lucy?" Lisanna finally ended the screaming silence between them.

"Yes?" she answered now staring at Lisanna.

"I, I actually have a favor to ask you" she said, looking directly at her.

"Sure thing, as long as I can do it" Lucy laughs awkwardly.

"Well then, can you, can you take a solo job tomorrow?" she blurted out, not even beating around the bush.

"Tomorrow?" she asks, shock evident on her face.

"Yes tomorrow, you see I actually planned on making a day with my little family, and somehow Happy wouldn't come with us if you're around. I was hoping you'd say yes" she pleaded looking deeply into her chocolate brown eyes.

Lucy bit her lower lip, contemplating whether to accept her favor or walk away? Tomorrow is also their family day, but then. Lisanna was basically Happy's real mother and Natsu's girlfriend, while she, she was just Lucy, their friend.

"Sure thing Lisanna" she said totally against the idea of going out tomorrow when they have things planned already.

"Really?! Oh thank you, thank you Lucy" she jumps and hugs Lucy tightly, as quickly it came and as quickly she let Lucy go.

"You're the best Lucy" she beamed, while Lucy just forced a grin unto her face and hummed.

"And one more thing" she said, another one? Lucy's mind screamed at her.

"Yeah?" she smiles.

"Can you not tell Happy? He'd beg you to not go all day today if you'd tell him you'll go on a mission tomorrow" she stated hoping she'd say yes again.

"Sure" she answered really not liking the idea, but she has no choice but to comply.

Meanwhile inside the guild hall~~~

"WHAT?!" Happy screamed at Natsu's face totally bewildered at his father's choices.

"Why'd you say yes?!" he exclaimed.

"I just can't say 'no' Happy" he pleaded, looking directly at Happy's eyes.

"Yes you could have, say it with me... no, N.O, no... You could have just said that simple word!" Happy exclaimed throwing his arms out trying to get his point across.

"But Happy, just imagine Luce having those big puppy eyes of her and her pouting lips, can you say no?" Natsu argued.

"No!" he justified.

"See? Now you get my point?" he asks crossing his arms.

"No, that wasn't Lushe who asked you so no!" being stubborn just like his father he cross his arms over his chest.

"Okay, how bout Luce would come with us, would that make you come?" with an eyebrow raised he finally asked it, having Lucy with them was far the best when they would tease her, she makes every journey worthwhile.

"Why didn't you say that earlier? Of course I will, this is momma we're talking about" Happy and Natsu grinned.

The members who we're listening- can't really blame them though they were shouting and exclaiming a lot; suddenly perked up when Happy mentioned 'momma'. One question popped unto their heads, 'Lucy is Happy's momma?'.

Some people were quite astonished at Happy's sudden declaration, Mira- who was one of the listeners though; smiled and agreed to Happy's claim, she just hopes her sister won't go crazy at Happy's decision.
