LAST CHAPTER! So this chapter is short, it's kinda more like an epilogue than a chapter, but oh well! So this story has been a ride for me! I've had a blast! Thank you for everyone who left a review for me to read, it always put a smile on my face. Especially when I saw the same person reviewing again. THANKS FOR STICKING WITH ME AND THEY STORY!

Despite what I said about staying the way we were, I changed. I, who have always believed in speaking my mind and made it my mission to uncover the truth, have found myself keeping secrets. Sometimes life is more complicated than the simple rules we make for it.

In the morning that followed my poisoning, Grandmother, Gajeel, and I agreed to keep silent. Erza believed that Mrs. Riley had become mentally confused, unintentionally giving me something that made me ill. She came to the hospital to apologize immensely and to tell us that, even brought the tea cup from which I had drunk, so it could be tested and the doctors would know how to treat me. But I had already been diagnosed with an overdose of redcreep. We threw the cup in the trash.

Lucy and Natsu came to the hospital together that day. I saw the brightness in Lucy's eyes, then the delicate chain around her neck. "That pendant looks familiar," I said. She smiled. "Natsu bought it for me." In the year since, they've become the best of friends again, and the best of sweethearts – again.

As for Grandmother, she, too, has changed, though I certainly wouldn't point it out to her. I suppose it's hard to keep your life the same with two extra grandsons, my rough-and-tumble brothers, come barreling through on the holidays.

Gajeel's at Chase College now on a lacrosse scholarship. I'm applying to colleges in Maryland. And we're keeping another secret, though maybe not as well as we thought. Just the other day Erza stopped me on the street. "You know," she said. "We make wedding cakes."

THE END! That's it! No more T_T please TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. And everyone, have a nice day!~
