And now I bid so long

                                    

                                          

Lucy's point of view 
                          
"Father. Why should I even say to you?" I said while staring through the iron bars. My dad was behind Fairy Tail bars. And was planned to be executed. 
                          
"Lucy you won't get away forever. Layla will come after you." Jude said with a smirk.
                          
"This is interesting. You're very confident when you're going to die." I said with a chuckle.
                          
"Lucy you'll die. And then, I'll give you hell in.. Hell." Jude said and pointed up.
                          
"Too bad we're going to different locations in the after life." I said as Jude looked at me hurt.
                          
"Lucy sweety.. I'm so sorry. I just wanted my baby girl home." Jude said suddenly softly.
                          
I looked him straight in the eye. There was no sign of lies..
                          
"Father. The damage has been done. You're going to die." I said without showing emotion.
                          
"I know Lucy. Just let me tell you the truth first." Jude said and I look at him surprised.
                          
"What truth?" I ask confused.
                          
"The day you ran away, Layla was completely shattered. She only wanted the best for you, and Dave is a great guy too. I was also hurt but that soon turned into distress which turned to anger. We looked everywhere for you." Jude said and looked past me. 
                          
I turn to see Natsu standing there looking at me sadly. He walked towards me and grabbed my hand squeezing it gently.
                          
Jude smiled and then continued. "Layla discovered Dragon Summoning. She turned the drains evil after learning you ran off to Fairy Tail, and made friends with two dragon slayers. She found the best way to bring you out of hiding, and to pull you to death." 
                          
I saw Natsu getting angry with every second he heard but I squeeze his hand now. Natsu smiles at me and my dad continued.
                          
"Layla didn't want you to become a demon. She wanted you to return home without hurting the people you love. And when you fought back, Layla changed. It was as if something took over her body. And then, she became a queen that sits on a throne. With darkness that shrouds around her." Jude finished looking at me sadly.
                          
"You can kill me. Destroy me. Burn me. But please at least bring Layla back to her senses." Jude pleaded and I stare at him blankly.
                          
"Natsu.. Tell someone to take Jude Heartfilia to the local prison. He will serve 5 years imprisonment there and then be allowed back to his life." I order and get up ready to leave.
                          
"Jude.. No. Dad." I said and looked at my old mans shocked face.
                          
"Dad. This isn't goodbye. You'll continue to live to burden the sins you've committed. When you return, Heartfilia will most likely be out of business. And more than anything, that'll make me happy. Dad, I might.." I look to see if Natsu was still around as he went to go inform someone of Jude leaving the cell.
                          
"I might die. Become a demon. In fact I think that'll happen for sure. So just remember that I'll forgive you because of your love you gave me as a child. So long." I said to my now smiling father.
                          
"I love you Lucy." Dad said with a smile. Guards bursted in and I look at my dad for the last time.
                          
"As do I. As do I dad." I reply and watch the guards take my dad away.
                          
Flashback
                          
"Daddy! Mommy! Let's go play!" I grin and I receive two different looks.
                          
My dad is smiling gently and my mom is glaring at me.
                          
"Sure sweety-" 
                          
"Absolutely not young lady! Your room is a mess, you haven't practiced piano yet, and you didn't do any dance practice yet! Why Lucy? Why can't you just follow these instructions?" My mommy yelled at me.
                          
"I'm sorry mommy." I said softly and walked away to the piano.
                          
"Psst Lucky." I hear from the open window. 
                          
And as usual, I snuck out the window to go play with Sting.
                          
End of Flashback
                          
"Luce." Natsu broke me out of my thoughts.
                          
"Natsu.." I reply with sadness.
                          
"You're doing the right thing. Your dad will be back before you know it." Natsu grinned and pulled me towards the guild hall.
                          
"Lucy! Come over here!" Lisanna waved at the two of us and we walked towards a larger table than usual.
                          
Seated was Juvia, Lisanna, Erza, Wendy, Gray, Elfman, and Romeo. I sat beside Lisanna at the end of the table. Honestly, I feel like me and Lisanna are great friends.
                          
"Hey everyone!" I grin and people either reply with a hello or a wave.
                          
Nobody said anything about me being in the cell with my dad thankfully.
                          
"Wendy! Are you and Romeo dating yet?" Lisanna asked with a wink. Both of the kids had blushes and shook their head.
                          
"Maybe we should set a date up." I suggest and all of the girls nod in approval.
                          
"How about.. Tonight." Lisanna asked and me all nodded again.
                          
"Wendy! Let's go. We have shopping to do." Lisanna squealed and Juvia stood up too.
                          
"Juvia will help Wendy find a dress." 
                          
"Lisanna I'll set up at the guild hall here. I'll get help from Mirajane." I said and stood up and looked at Romeo.
                          
"What are you doing here? Leave! Come back with Wendy at 10:00 tonight." I order causing Romeo to sweat drop but jog out. Elfman followed him leaving me with Gray and Natsu.
                          
"You guys can go on a job or something." I said and turned towards Mirajane's direction.
                          
"Wait Lucy. What are you planning?" Gray asked and I roll my eyes.
                          
"Because I'm going to tell you." I said with a chuckle.
                          
"Well if it's food related I learned how to cook some dishes lately." Gray said slightly embarrassed. I laugh at that but give him a smile.
                          
"Mira could use some help with the cooking. I'll go tell her my plan with the food." I smile and quickly tell Mira my ideas. 
                          
She nods and sets out for some groceries with Gray.
                          
I'm left with Natsu who looks sad. "Something wrong?" I ask the pink haired boy who simply shook his head.
                          
"Natsu you can tell me anything. I'm your best friend." I said softly now and Natsu looks even more devastated. 
                          
"It's just that I want to help you and everyone else. But I can't do any of these things Luce." Natsu said sadly and I smile for some reason.
                          
"You can help me with decorations Natsu." I said, and received a shocked look from him.
                          
"But I don't have-" 
                          
"Natsu and I are doing the decorations!" I yell receiving many okays. 
                          
Natsu looked at me and his frown turned into a smile. A real genuine smile. 
                          
"All right Fairy Tail! Go do your assigned job! And of you weren't  given something.. Get out!" Erza yelled causing everyone to flinch.
                          
"Natsu, let's give Wendy and Romeo the best date ever." I said while looking out through the window.
                          
I could see Natsu's gaze on me as I looked out the window. He looked away and grinned.
                          
"I'm all fire up now!"
