Mating Season (Mostly Chendy, Erlu, Canajane)

Epilogue Part One

Three months after chapter thirty-eight-

Cana couldn't believe what was happening. She looked to the side and caught sight of her father, crying his eyes out. Of course he was. After all... it wasn't every day that your daughter got... married. Well, technically she wasn't getting married today. She was getting married tomorrow. That definitely didn't stop Gildarts from being overly dramatic about his 'baby girl'. Cana rolled her eyes, but she couldn't stop herself from being excited. She could remember every moment she had fantasized about Mirajane. She could remember several, admittedly embarrassing, times she had even imagined tomorrow in her mind. She glanced at the clock. "Oh no." It struck nine o'clock and there was loud knocking on her door. She and Mirajane were having their 'bachelorette' party tonight. It had been pointed out that the whole point was for them to have different parties, a last hurrah before they got married, but they had ignored the words. They would prefer to spend the time with all of their crazy friends and each other. Cana heard more loud knocking and sighed before walking over to open it. There she found some of her favorite people in the world. Natsu stood at the front and had clearly been the one knocking so loudly. Wendy popped a head over his shoulder. "Hi, Cana!" She said happily. She quickly saw who all was there. It was everyone that had gone through the Mating Season, excluding Mirajane of course. "Let's go get drunk!" Cana said enthusiastically, making the others sigh and shake their heads. "We have to wait for the other bride-to-be!" Lucy said sensibly. Cana smiled at her maid of honor. "You're right... wait... who's picking her up?" Cana asked, raising an eyebrow. "Lisanna and Elfman." The blonde Celestial Mage responded. Cana shivered. She wasn't sure if she was ready for 'a real man' to tag along all night. The group walked down the hallway towards where they were supposed to meet up.

Wendy glanced to the side and grinned at Chelia. The girl had recently made up her mind about which guild she was joining three days ago. Fairy Tail! Wendy couldn't have been happier about the decision, but she had checked at least one hundred times in the past three days to make sure that it was the decision that Chelia wanted to make. Every single time Chelia had responded with a patient 'yes' and a wide smile to her Mate. Chelia grabbed onto Wendy's hand as they all made their way towards the exit of Fairy Hills. Wendy couldn't help but grin as they passed Chelia's apartment. It just so happened to be across the hall from Wendy's (something that had left Carla more than a bit mortified). Said Exceed was walked beside Happy on the ground, the pair talking with surprisingly few insults thrown Happy's way by Carla. Wendy couldn't help but giggle as she watched the Exceeds. She had always shipped them, especially considering how often Carla complained about Happy. She had learned that opposites attracted. She looked over at Gray and Natsu, who were already arguing, and giggled again. Chelia glanced at her and grinned. Wendy eqs sure that Chelia didn't know what she was laughing at, but she was clearly just smiling because Wendy was so happy. It was one of those simple interactions that made Wendy's heart flutter in a now familiar way around the pink-haired God Slayer. She looked up and saw Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman walking towards them. She could see Cana's face light up from here as she caught sight of Mirajane. It was a cute little reaction that once again had Wendy giggling. She was clearly quite happy tonight. How could she not be?! Cana was getting married tomorrow!

Mirajane looked over at her maid of honor (Lisanna, of course) and smiled as she ran up to Cana and gave her a big hug. "This time tomorrow I'm going to get to call you sister!" She said happily, not letting go of the brunette card Mage. Mirajane laughed at the words. She couldn't be happier that Lisanna was accepting Cana so easily... Elfman, on the other hand, was a different story entirely. He was still playing the protective brother card (Mirajane laughed internally at her own pun) and giving Cana the stink eye whenever he could. Mirajane hoped they'd be better by the end of the night, but she wasn't certain. She heard everyone talking excitedly and grabbed onto Cana's hand. Tonight was for them and she couldn't have been happier about it.
