(Lucy POV)

I can't believe it's been ten years. 3,650 days, 87,600 hours, 5,126,400 minutes, 307,584,000 seconds without him. 10 years without his smile, the sweet sound of his guitar, the way he would call me Luce. One minute he was there the next he wasn't.

It's not like he moved away, he was kidnapped. When he was here frowns turned into smiles and smiles turned into laughter. After he was kidnapped, laughter turned into silence, silence turned into sobs. The world turned upside down.

Natsu was officially considered kidnapped on June 15, 2007. Ever since that day, my friends and I have made a pack. To party hard every June 15th since. This is not because we hate him(which none of us do,by the way) but because we're pretty sure that Natsu, the life of a party, would not want to see us down.

Tonight it's just Erza,Gray and I. Levy and Gajeel couldn't make it because they were visiting family back in Hargeon. Cana, Jet and Droy were in the pie eating contest, also out of town. Sting and Rogue were a karate tournament. But they are also probably holding parties. It's the tenth anniversary after all.

Erza, Gray and I decided to go to this pub called Fairytail. It was a pub in the the city of Magnolia, a few blocks away from Fiore University, where we attended school. We only really go to this pub on occasion, so we dress up. This time I decided to wear a blue lace cocktail dress with matching shoes.

By the time we get there the pub is almost packed. Mirajane, the bartender waves us over to her. We take a seat at the 3 barstools in front of her, but behind the counter. She hands us a menu to make our order. Erza orders red wine, Gray orders beer and I order a the Fairytail Special Cocktail.

Before we we have our drinks, we say our toast that we say every year on this day.

"To Natsu, the idiot who we tried to forget, but couldn't!" Toasts Gray

"To Natsu!"

*1 hour time skip*

Erza passed out after drinking shots, and Gray was so drunk he was puking in the bathroom. So I was at the bar alone, drunk. I was really bored so I decided to talk to Mira.

"So, why is the bar so crowded, it's never this crowded" I asked Mira, I sounded drunk which I was.

"You can thank our new guitarist for that, he's really been bringing a crowd" Mira replied.

I turn around, there he was, the new guitarist.

He started to place a new song.

Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars
And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard
And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
As if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's something about you
If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
Everything comes back to you

It was shocking. Not because he was a great singer and guitarist, or because he played my favorite song, but because it was him.
