Author's Note: I woke up this morning and was surprised by some PMs and reviews from a few readers regarding the sequel/explanation behind Lucy's memory. I was able to make a draft a few months ago but I lost it in my very messy room. I got lazy and forgot about the whole thing and was pre-occupied with school and stuff. So I'm very very sorry, don't kill me. :D

Also, there will be some colourful words in this chapter so be ready. If that's too much for you, then just try to censor it with your mind. :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, etc.

"Lu…Lucy! But how? I thought…I thought you forgot about me!" Loke exclaimed, still incredulous at how Lucy was still familiar with his existence.

Lucy's smile disappeared and was replaced by a small frown, it was subtle, but strong enough to tell the lion that there is a melancholic story behind it. Loke stared at her for a while, not knowing on what to do or what to say. Lori on the other hand is just baffled by the whole scenario. She will never understand grown-ups and their melodramatic lifestyle, the mere thought of seeing a dramatic scene unfold in front of her between her mother and her new spirit made her roll her eyes. Let's just say it's not something that she would want to see.

After a while, Lucy finally got her composure back and looked at her daughter. "Lori, can I talk with Leo for a while? I just need to tell him something".

"Yeah yeah, go ahead, I'll go hang around with dad and uncle Natsu for a while", she said apathetically.

Lucy then ushered Loke inside of their house. It was an ordinary home, but one small picture caught Loke's attention. It was a family portrait. There he saw Lucy, Lori, and who seems like Lucy's husband. Loke stared at it for a while but did not say a word.

"Please, sit down", Lucy gestured. Loke took the offer and took a seat at the chair adjacent to where Lucy's sitting.

"Ok Lucy, now that we're alone…care to explain?" Loke asked curiously. There was no anger, hurt, nor accusation on his tone of voice…just curiosity. He just wants a closure on what happened to her for 20 years, and why she was still able to remember him, and most probably his fellow spirits.

Lucy took a deep breath, she struggled a bit on how to start the whole conversation, but after a while, she finally opened her mouth.

"After…after I told the spirit king about my decision, he teleported me back to Earthland. At first I felt free, happy, genuinely elated that I'll be able to see my friends and family again. But there was a problem…I still remembered you, all of you".

Flashback

"Hey! Moustache man! You told me that when I chose Natsu and my friends, I won't remember about my spirits? Then why the hell do I still remember them?" Lucy was angry and frustrated; it pained her to know that she betrayed her lover and how much of an ass this huge spirit is by lying to her.

"I'm sorry Lucy, but it must be done. I may be the spirit king but I have no ability to remove memories. The only reason why I included such offer is that I know you would never choose to go back to your world if I did not include it. You love Leo too much to let him go." The spirit king did seem apologetic, but Lucy was not yet done with her questions.

"But why? We already accepted your punishment for him and you already turned me into a spirit, so don't give me that human-spirit relationship is taboo bullcrap, because you've already made a way for it to happen! Damn you!" At this point, she was already shouting, she will never forgive him for this; she would personally kill him if she could.

The spirit king sighed in defeat, he does not know how to properly explain this to her, but he tried his best. "I know that it seems like I gave you false hope, but trust me, I did not want to do this to either of you. When I transformed both of you I gave the both of you new identities, at the same time taking away the identity of others, I thought there were no consequences but I was wrong. I disrupted the balance in reality by forming new identities out of an old one. It is hard to explain, and I myself still do not understand the whole process, but I can assure you that the consequences would have been catastrophic. Personally, would you have still chosen to stay with him, knowing that your existence in the spirit world could have jeopardized the entire world? Including the lives of your family and friends?"

Lucy was out of words, she hated that the Spirit King made a point. "No…", she said firmly, but there's a subtle tone of hesitance. "I guess not…"

"I thought so too…", the king replied. "Regarding our deal, all terms still apply, like you having dawn magic. Dawn is always the sign of a new day, in that way, your magic has the same effect. The wonderful thing about this magic is that you can pioneer your own kind of magic as long as it isn't invented yet and is not powerful enough to destroy the whole universe. Choose wisely" he said encouragingly and then disappeared.

End of Flashback

"So what kind of magic did you choose? You could've chosen a spell that could forget your memory about me, right?" Loke asked, fascinated by her new ability.

"True. I did consider that, but I love you too much to do it to myself. Instead, I decided that I'll find your key no matter what. That's why I called my magic "Recall". It can find whatever or whoever that I have lost or is lost and I can pinpoint their location. That's how I was able to find your key. After getting a hold of it, I tried to summon you, but to no avail. The spirit king did take away my summoning skills. That's why I trained Lori to become a celestial spirit mage, so that maybe someday, I'll be able to see you again." She said as tears started to pour down of her face.

Loke stood up and slowly went to her and hugged her. "Shh…shhhh, it's ok. I'm not mad or anything, I just want a sense of closure from all of this. I'm happy that you chose to remember me, it made me feel like I'm still a part of you." Loke told her and smiled at her warmly.

"Oh Loke, you'll always be a part of me. Even if I have a husband now, you'll always be the greatest love of my life" Lucy said, smiling back.

"Speaking of which, I noticed your family portrait. So you and Gray got married huh? That's fine with me, eventhough he's not as dashingly handsome as I am, I'd still prefer you to get married to him than with Natsu", Loke said jokingly.

Lucy chuckled at him. "I guess some things just never change, huh?"

Loke then leaned forward and kissed her forehead "I guess so too…"

Yeah so that's the end. I will not be able to write the sequel since school is killing me, and believe me, it's not easy. I hope you guys enjoyed it and please review :D
