3 years later...

Erza grabbed her bag out of her locker, after a long day of studies she was finally permitted to leave. She was a senior in High School now, and her plan to go pro had worked out as a success. She had won thousands of dollars since then and won a few championships, she trains at Marcus's Gym regularly and even found herself training other young fighters. She closed her locker and slung her back over her shoulder, her last fight was months ago and she had been debating on fighting regularly again.

She shook her head, contracts were offered to her. Contracts that anyone her age would be honored to get. She turned them down, she didn't need to be flying around the world and leaving school. Fighting has only been her passion but the career she wanted was far different.

...

"High School's finally almost over." Lucy chimed as she whipped herself up an iced coffee, she had grown out her hair even more to past her hip. She had it tied up into a long side pony tail. Juvia was working in the back, she was promoted to manager a year ago due to Evergreen constantly being away. Erza toyed with the spoon in cappuccino. "Any news on Princeton?" She asked Lucy, the blonde's face fell and she walked over to the red haired girl. "Okay, you're the first person I wanted to tell."

Now Erza was intrigued, she could barely hear Lucy's whisper. "I got accepted!" Erza jumped up, "Lucy that's amazing!" The blonde was beaming, "I know, I always wanted to be a writer and now I can finally pursue that." Erza was so happy for her friend, she had been waiting weeks to hear back from the school. "How about that university you applied to?" Lucy was well aware of Erza's dream to pursue natural medicine, and she's been applying to a few schools who offered the program.

"I got accepted to the National School of Natural Medicine." Lucy beamed, "Erza! Why didn't you say anything? When did you find out?" The red head smiled, "A while ago, its not that huge of a deal I mean..."

"Quiet!, That's a huge deal. Does Juvia know? Juvia!" She yelled, Erza sighed at the blonde's volume. "Yess Lucy?" The blue haired girl came out, "Erza was accepted into the school of her dreams!" Juvia's face lit up, "The National School of Natural Medicine? Erza that's amazing." Erza smiled at her friends, Lucy getting into Princeton was one of the best things she heard today. As for Juvia, it was already public knowledge that she would be attending a four year college first and then she would be going into med school for dentistry.

The sound of the little bell rand through the girls' ears as the door opened, it was Jellal and Natsu. "Its brick outside man." Natsu complained to Jellal. "Its almost 50degrees out there. Its the best weather we've been getting all March." Natsu rolled his eyes, "It's cold." "Whatever, flame brain."

Erza beamed at the sight of her boyfriend, they've been official for almost three years now and Jellal was going to pursue his goal of becoming a Private Investigator with his own business. "Hey." She said, Jellal walked over and kissed her. "Still in uniform?" He inquired, she rolled her eyes. "I got here right after school." She didn't bring clothes with her, not that it mattered much anyway. The thigh highs get annoying after a while though. "Where's Gray?" Erza looked over at Juvia, "Oh he's at home finishing up a last minute assignment." Erza rolled her eyes again, Gray had a habit as to leaving things last minute. "And when are you coming home Juvia?"

She raised an eyebrow, Juvia's been sleeping out at Gray's more than her own apartment. "Actually..." She started.

"Actually...?" Erza repeated. "Juvia's decided she would be moving in with Gray." She answered in third person. Erza was taken aback. "Well its about time girl, half your wardrobe is there anyway." She finished the rest of her beverage. "I guess I'll be alright on my own." She said in an exaggerated tone of voice. Lucy placed down her beverage. "Erza I'll move in." The red looked up at her, "Oh girl I was kidding you don't gotta." She said, hoping the blonde would say yes anyway.

"No I want to, my apartment has the worst neighbors and I've been needing to find something cheaper anyway. I'll go halfs on the rent and cover some utilities." Erza smiled, she was worried she'd have to bunk out on her own and now she wouldn't have to. "I told you could move in with me." Natsu said as he sipped on his hot coffee. Lucy raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend, "And clean after you and your cat? I think not." Lucy has been staying at Natsu's and the amount of dishes and laundry she had done was ridiculous. "Its not that bad." Lucy swatted his head at his response. "I should be payed for my services."

Erza giggled, "So I guess it's settled then. Lucy moves in with me and Natsu and Jellal stay where they're at." Jellal had moved in with Natsu after the shooting years ago, and he's been finding himself cleaning up more than he wanted. "I can move in too Erza." he half joked as he glanced at Natsu. Erza shook her head and placed her hand on his cheek. "I don't think so just yet." She slid over her cup to Lucy who made her another beverage. "Yet. You hear that Natsu, she said yet." The pinkette rolled his eyes and gulped his coffee. Erza raised hers to her lips and glanced at her friends, High School was ending and she still had the most amazing friends.

What more could she want?

Andddd that concludes this story, I'm thinking about making a shorter sequel to this but that will be later.
