AN/: Here is the final chapter of this story. Short, sweet and simple, right? I just know you're all going to giggle like little girls at the end of this chapter! I did while writing it. Hahaha Well, enjoy! Don't forget to review and favorite this. I know you'll love it. I'm that confident. Also, I have to do a bit of advertising. I'm writing a Fairy Tail and Kingdom Hearts crossover called Kingdom Keys. Please read it. If it makes you any more interested, Lucy's pretty badass in it. Anyways, enjoy this!

Lucy was sitting on her couch, watching amused as Natsu proceeded to dust off her furniture. There was definitely something up, Lucy knew that, but seeing Natsu clean was just so mind-blowing.

"Wait, have I finally lost it, or are you really cleaning?" Lucy asked, still not entirely convinced that she was actually seeing what was happening. She could just be over exhausted and hallucinating.

Natsu laughed at the blonde, sitting on the couch next to her.

"I am really cleaning, Luce," he said, looking deeply into her eyes as if trying to tell her soul that he was. Lucy had such beautiful eyes that Natsu found himself getting lost in them. He didn't notice he was getting closer and closer to the blonde, though.

"Natsu!" Happy shouted causing Lucy and Natsu to jump.

"Happy?" Natsu asked, looking up at the blue Exceed quizzically. The cat rolled his eyes and laughed at the two.

"Natsu… you liiiiiiike her!" he exclaimed rolling his tongue.

"Shut up! You stupid cat!" Natsu yelled back, a red blush coating his tanned cheeks.

"Natsu, it's time," the cat said simply. Lucy looked back and forth between the two, feeling lost and out of place. Natsu just smiled as he began to stand from his seat on the couch. He grabbed Lucy's wrist and yanked her off of the couch, pulling her towards the door. He figured that Lucy wouldn't like it too much if he jumped from the window with her.

"What are you doing, Natsu?" Lucy asked, a slight hint of fear in her voice as Natsu continued to drag her out the door and all the way to the streets of Magnolia. Natsu didn't say a word, only smiling even wider every time Lucy asked a question or said something.

Seriously, how big could that kid's smile get? It was ridiculous!

Natsu dragged Lucy through the streets of Magnolia, taking her on a familiar route. They were heading to Fairy Tail, but why? Happy flew ahead of them, reaching the guild before the other two.

When Lucy and Natsu reached the guild, it was unnaturally quiet. Lucy stepped inside cautiously. There was no one there. She couldn't see a single soul, not even Happy!

"Where is everyone?" Lucy asked worriedly. Suddenly, as if on cue, the atmosphere before fluxed and an invisible wall disappeared, revealing all of the guild members.

"SURPRISE!" they all shouted scaring Lucy out of her wits. Even Natsu had shouted surprise from behind her, and boy was he loud.

"Happy Birthday, Lucy!" they continued to shout, circling around her, attacking her with an ambush of hugs. Happy birthday? What day was it again?

Lucy would have punched herself in the face had her arms not been pinned to her side by a hug from Erza. She'd forgotten about her own birthday! She'd been so busy trying to make sure she had enough money for rent that she'd forgotten about the day she was born!

When Erza finally released her from the 'Great Hug of Death' Lucy could finally breathe, enabling her to speak.

"Thank you all so much!" she said with a tear running form the corner of her eye. She was just so happy that they remembered, and throwing her a surprise party was almost too much. But, Fairy Tail did love to party, so she guessed it was expected.

"Lucy, you're crying!" Natsu pointed out worriedly. "Are you okay? Did you not want a party?" he questioned anxiously. Lucy shook her head and smiled.

"I feel so happy right now! No one has ever done anything like this for me before," she mumbled out, wiping the tears of joy away from her eyes as she sniffed loudly. "The fact that I managed to forget about my birthday makes this all even more amazing," she said, hiccupping and smiling as her friends' arms enveloped her in a warm embrace. Even Natsu joined in on the group hug.

The master began to speak to the guild.

"Today is the day we celebrate the birth of one of our family members, Lucy! First, we'll start with opening presents, that way Lucy can take them home before things get too crazy!" the master shouted with a huge smile on his face. Lucy looked around the room and spotted the table with presents and could help it when her mouth hung open slightly.

"Oh, wow, you guys didn't have to get me any presents," Lucy said, feeling guilty that they'd all gone out and spent money on her. And, by the looks of it, they'd spent a lot. The table was piled high with presents of all shapes and sizes.

"But, we wanted to, Lu-chan!" Levy protested, squeezing her best friend tighter.

"Levy-chan, I would have been fine with just a party. I would've been fine without that, too," Lucy explained. "I'm used to my birthday being forgotten."

"Well, not anymore!" Natsu shouted happily, his blue friend curled up on his head. Lucy smiled warmly at all of her friends as they dragged her over to the table to open presents. She got so many things, like some books from Levy, clothes from lots of other people. Natsu even got her a new pen, which wasn't what she'd expected.

She'd been complaining that her favorite pen hadn't been working right, so Natsu said that he'd gone out and bought her a new one. Sure, it wasn't the same one, but she loved it nonetheless. It was by far her favorite gift, too. The pen was a fiery gold with intricate designs curling around the pen. It was beautiful.

Lucy's eyes sparkled at the sight of the gift. Well, so did everyone else's, too. It was the perfect gift for Lucy, and Natsu had gotten it for her. They were amazed at the beauty of the little thing and the smile it put on Lucy's face.

"Thank you so much!" the blonde shouted throwing her arms around Natsu. The rest of the guild watched with warm smiles on their faces. They knew that the two liked each other.

Natsu wrapped his arms around Lucy when she threw herself at him, capturing her in a warm embrace.

"I'm glad you like it," he said, smiling against her blonde hair. Lucy pulled her face away, keeping her arms locked around the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Like it? Are you kidding me? I love it!" She exclaimed, making Natsu jump at first. But, he relaxed seconds later, allowing a wide grin to take its place on his lips. He looked down at Lucy, in his arms… Lucy was in his arms. Nothing would be more perfect it he just leaned down and…

"Happy birthday, Lucy," Natsu said softly as he leaned down and placed his lips over hers. Wide eyed, Lucy squeaked in surprise, but allowed herself to sink into the kiss, kissing him back.

The guild members cheered as the two kissed. Levy, taken over by joy, spontaneously reached over and pulled Gajeel in for a quick kiss. She backed away, her face beat red. Gajeel just smirked and pulled her in again. The guild members grew louder at the actions of the other two mages.

"They are real men!" Elfman shouted, grabbing Evergreen and pulling her in for a kiss as well. Elfman was a real man, and if they could kiss the ones they liked then he had to step up to the plate as well.

Mirajane was in matchmaker heaven! She nearly passed out from it all. So many couples getting together at the same time. Brain… overload!

The guild was cheering at an unbelievable volume. That was when the real party started. Natsu, Gray and Erza helped Lucy take her gifts home and they rushed back to the guild to party for the rest of the night. They were all standing at the bar eating slices of the birthday cake Mira had made.

Natsu lifted his mug in the air.

"A toast, to one of the strongest Celestial Mages we know and the greatest friend, Lucy!" Natsu shouted as others began to raise their mugs, too. "To Lucy! Happy birthday!"

The guild echoed his last words and Lucy couldn't help but giggle. Lucy stood on her tiptoes and gave Natsu another kiss.

"Best party ever!" Natsu said breathlessly. He smiled and kissed her back. "I still can't believe you forgot about your own birthday."

"I knew I was forgetting something," she giggled.
