Note: Sorry if it's not what you hoped for! The parents will make their appearance soon but let me introduce you to the kids first!
Chapter One: Introducing the Children
Dragneel Household
Nashi slowly opens the door to her brother's room. Her salmon hair was in the view so she moved it aside. She smirks and sneaks to his head.
The small boy was sleeping in his bed. His blonde hair doesn't look messy like normal morning people.
Next think you know, Nashi's finger lights up. "Wakey wakey little bro." She whispered.
Seconds later the little boy screamed in ran out the room. His butt was smoking.
Another door opened. A yawning older teen boy came out. He was already dressed, but all he needed was to brush his hair. His hair was a mixture of blonde and salmon. Making it light and shiny. He followed the trail of smoke then back at Nashi.
She was laughing like crazy.
"You gotta stop doing that. You'll make the poor Lucian hate magic and fire." He said.
"So what? It's hilarious!" Nashi said, "But why are you dressed so early, Igneel?"
Igneel sighs. "Remember? I said I was going in early because we're having a student council meeting. So I'll be going ahead." They hear a splash. "I'll go check in Lucian."
Igneel opens the door to the bathroom and finds Lucian sitting on the toilet. "Help?" Lucian pleads.
"Certainly." Igneel walks up to Lucian and lifts him. He sets Luciano down and grabs a towel on the shelf. "Take off your pajama pants and boxers. Then put this around your waist."
Lucian did what he was told and wraps the towel. "Aren't you going to be late for your meeting?"
"I have time to spare. Besides this is more important. Mom can't handle buying a new pair." Igneel opens the drawer near the sink and takes out a knitting kit. He puts his hand over Lucian's pajama pants and boxers than uses his hand to dry them with heat. They were dry in seconds and he began fixing them.
"Sorry you keep helping me out. I'm useless since I can't use fire magic like you and Nashi." Lucian grips the towel.
Igneel glances at Lucian and smiles. "You're not useless. I think Celestial Magic is cool. You should be happy since you got the extinction magic. Celestial Magic isn't something you see nowadays."
"But mommy can use it."
"Because she was like you. You inherited it from her so you can pass it on. That way Celestial Magic won't disappear from the world."
"Aren't fire magic users at risk too?"
"No and yes. There is lots of fire magic users but none of them are like Nashi, dad, and I. We have Fire Dragon Magic. It's different from regular fire mages." He puts the stitching set away. "All done."
Luciano puts them on and smiles at Igneel. "Thank you Igneel!" He shyly looks away. "And thank you for telling me that..."
Igneel messes up Lucian's hair. "You're my little brother. If you need me I'll always be happy to help. I'm going now so I'll see you later!"
"Okay!"
Just as Igneel exit the bathroom, he bumps into Lucy, their mother.
"Going already? Don't you want breakfast?" She asks.
"Sorry mom. I have to go." Igneel said.
"Alright then. Be safe and don't push yourself!"
"Always!"
Lucian exits the bathroom and watches Igneel walk away.
Lucy looks at Lucian and smiles. "I brought your clothes. Let's get you changed so we can see grandpa!"
"Which one?"
"My father of course!" Lucian began running away, but Virgo appeared and catches Lucian. "Thank you Virgo. Now let's get ready, shall we?"
"Can't I just go to school?"
"There's no school for you remember? Today's the day Celestial mages meet up at a location!"
"Let me guess...you were chosen and decided to go to grandfathers house?"
"I don't see why you don't feel like going. My father adores you and I thought you love him?"
"I do, but he's always showing the family album and how I might take over it."
"Well...I guess I understand, but we'll just get ready." Lucy turns her head. "Nashi! You also get dressed! I got a call from the school, saying if you get one more tardy you'll have after school detention!"
"Ugh! Fine!" Nashi said across the hall.
Lucy giggles. "She's too much like her father."
"I agree princess." Virgo said.
Fullbuster Household
"Lucian-sama won't be coming to school today!" Grazyna whined. Her twin brothers exchange glances.
"Norice! Junius!" Their father, Gray, called out. "Weren't one of you in the student council?"
Norice said, "I am!"
"Don't you have a meeting today?"
"Yeah, but I know it's going to be crap so I'm not going."
"Norice Fullbuster!" Juvia said as she entered the dining room with two plates of breakfast. "Juvia wouldn't allow language like that around Grazyna!"
"Sorry mom..."
Junius chuckles. "Sucks to be at the student council. Why'd you join in the first place?' He asks as Juvia set the plate in front of him.
"It wasn't my choice! It had to do with my scores on the magic test! My magic was one of the strongest so they made me join." Juvia sets the other plate in front of him and goes back into the kitchen.
"That's my boy!" Gray cheered. "You're strong like your old man!" He messes up Norice's hair. "Why wasn't Junius elected as well?"
"Because he's my brother. Siblings in the same council room wouldn't be fair. Or so they say."
"Says number 3." Junius said.
Gray stares at Norice. "Who's number 2?!"
"The Dragneel boy, Igneel."
"1?"
"Well...it's a girl and she's the offspring of-"
"Never mind. I found out instantly, but seriously? Number 3?"
"Yup."
Juvia comes back and sets the plates I'm front of Grazyna and Gray. "Grazyna, you should eat or else you'll never win Lucian-kun's heart! You can do this!" Juvia cheered.
Grazyna looks up at her mother and nods. "You're right mama! I can do this! Lucian-sama will come back tomorrow and I'll be the first to talk to him!" Grazyna said and eats her breakfast.
The doorbell rings. "Juvia will answer!" Juvia takes off her apron and walks towards the front door. She answers and a warm smile comes across her face. "Igneel-kun! Are you here to pick up Norice?"
Igneel smiles in returns. "Yes. Is he ready to go? Jazmina wanted me to make sure Norice doesn't attempt to ditch." He said.
"He's finishing up breakfast! Do you want to come in?'
"It's alright. I'll wait outside. Thank you though."
Norice pops up and exits the house. "Bye mom!"
"Bye Norice! Behave!" Juvia said.
Igneel nods his head and runs after Norice.
Juvia comes back inside with a smile. "Juvia will never get tired of seeing Igneel! He's such a kind boy like his mother! Juvia is glad he's friends with our son!"
"Igneel is a big talk around compass. The teachers love him and he's respected by his classmates. He's smart too! Straight A student!" Junius said. "He doesn't like being treated differently. He prefers to be strong to protect those important to him. So you can say he puts others ahead of him."
"He's truly Lucy's and Natsu's kid." Gray said.
"Nashi and I hit heads all the time. You can say we hate each other."
"Truly Natsu-san's daughter." Juvia said.
Grazyna sits straight. "Lucian-san and I are great friends! He's always helpful and really smart! Even when others don't like him, he'll try his best to be their friends!" She said, "He's admirable!"
"Those Dragneel kids take too much of their parents. Yet they have their own personalities!" Juvia claps her hands together. "Juvia just thought of a wonderful idea! Juvia will go call Juvia's friends!"
Juvia exits the room.
Gray eyes Juvia. "I already don't like the idea she's planning. I feel like it involves Natsu and stuff." Gray grumbles and munch his toast.
"Don't you and Natsu go way back? Aren't you two like friends or something?" Junius asks questioningly.
"We do go way back, but like Nashi and you... We hit heads in first sight. I honestly haven't seen Natsu for 2 months because of work. Now that I mention it... I never realized if he's okay nowadays? I contact Lucy once in a while, but that's only for advice."
"Do you think mom might be planning a reunion?"
"Hope not. Too busy for stuff like that. Now eat up you two. I don't want a call from school saying you were late."
"Okay~" Both siblings said.
Fernandes Household
Jazmina puts on her shoes and fixes her hair. 'Side braid or leave it straight this time?' She wondered. Her blue hair was pasting her waist. She continues to stare for a little longer.
"Just braid it." Her younger brother, Emrys, said as he passed the bathroom. His red hair was messy and he looked as if he just woke up. "I don't know who you're trying to attract."
"Quiet Emrys! I have to look presentable today! I'm having a student council meeting today!"
"That one you brought up last night? I barely listened to you because I was falling asleep."
"Why you-"
"Emrys be nice to your sister!' Erza said. She came up near the entrance of the bathroom. "You need to get ready. Lucu told me Lucian isn't attending school today so I want you to get along with your classmates!"
Emrys turns to Erza. "What's wrong with Lucian?" He asks.
"Nothing. Lucy's just taking him to her father's mansion to hold the Celestial Day meeting. Juvia called me and told me how sad she was to hear that so cheer her up okay?"
"Why water girl?! When something happens to Lucian, she'll cry for hours! It's annoying!"
"Girls like her are sensitive. You just have to be patient with her and support you. Lucian is your best friend, isn't he?" Jazmina said. "Hey mother? Can you help braid my hair?" Erza walks behind Jazmina and begins to braid.
"Can't argue there." Emrys sighs. "I'll get ready now."
"Oh yeah! Before I forget, Jellal sent you a postcard! He sent one for each of us!' Erza said.
"Why didn't you say so in the beginning? Maybe dad is telling me he's finally coming back!"
"He's been gone for 3 days." Jazmina mumbled.
"I heard that!" Emrys yelled as he ran down the hall.
Erza finished up the braid and relaxes her chin on top of Jazmina's head. "You're looking more like me every time I see you." Erza said.
"I know. Father tells me the same thing over and over again." Jazmina said, "So when is he coming back?"
"By the end of the week." Erza lifts her head away from Jazmina and makes a thumps up. "Show them who's boss at the meeting!"
"Right!"
"MOM!" Emrys cried. Then there was a loud thud.
Erza's motherly instincts kick in and she runs to Emrys's room. Emrys was buried from a pile of clothes. His arm was sticking out and Erza pulled him out. He breathed for air.
"I warned you about cleaning your closest! When you come back, I expect you to clean this room spotless!' Erza scolded.
"Sorry mom, but how can I clean when I'm busying doing my homework?"
"That's why your clean first. Hurry and dress before you're late!"
"It's still early!"
"I was always early for school so I expect you to be early as well!"
Jazmina passes by the room. "I'm off!" She said.
"Be careful! Remember to beat up your attacker!"
"Right!" Jazmina opened the front door and smiled. "Well then. Looks like you two are here early."
Igneel smiles innocently and Norice just frowns. "Earlier the better. Didn't want to stress a lady out." Igneel said, "Let's head to school now. I want to get this meeting over with so I can go around the school to help students."
"I agree."
The three begin walking to the school.
"It's strange we live on the same street." Norice said as he looked back. Igneel's house was between Norice's and Jazmina's. "Tch! Hate it how we're so near."
"Really? I actually like us living near each other. That way we can visit whenever we want and help each other out." Igneel stated. "I consider you both my best friends!"
Jazmina smiles and agrees. "I do too! We're comrades like our parents!" She said.
Norice grins. "Your cheeks are red." He said.
Jazmina glares at Norice and punches him in the gut. Norice groans on the ground while Jazmina is smiling happily for Igneel.
"By the way, Igneel, are you busy after school?" She asks.
Igneel scratches the back of his head. "No. I'm free." He answered honestly. "I was just gonna go home and do my homework. Afterwards I'll help around the house."
"Then can you come with me after school? There's a sale in the bakery and I was the strawberry shortcake!"
"I'd love to. Maybe I can buy something as well."
"So you two going on a date?" Norice teased. Jazmina stomps on Norice's face and moves her foot around.
Igneel laughs lowly and gets his watch. "We should go now." He said.
Norice got up from the ground and they all ran to the school.
