Here is my vision for the next generation of Fairy Tail! A quick note: If you see something I am misspelling from Fairy Tail, please inform me. If I am misspelling it then I was either too lazy to look it up or just confused.

Igneel pried Leila off his shoulder and set her on the ground beside her twin sister Carmen. "Come on, we're in the capital of Fiore! Let's be on our best behavior while Mom and Dad are helping the master check Fairy Tail in."

"But we're bored." Leila whined.

"Come on, Igneeeeeeel, just a little fire?" Carmen pouted.

"Pleeeeeeeeease?"

Their unison sad eyes always got him every time. Sometimes having little sisters was worse than having to train with his dad for twelve hours. He looked around to see that no one was watching and crouched down in front of his baby sisters.

"Alright, but only a little bit."

Carmen and Leila began jumping up and down with excitement. Igneel made a fist and summoned his coolest fire. He worked with it for a moment before revealing the tiny flickering rose he had made. Both his sisters were content to gape for a moment, but then they both reached for the rose and he know he was in trouble. His reflexes were not quite fast enough and a ball of light engulfed their hands. When the spots were gone from his eyes he saw the rose had turned into a graceful crystal with a soft light in the center.

"Done, finally!"

Igneel put his hand behind his back and turned to greet the upper level members of Fairy Tail. His father, Natsu Dragneel had his arm draped around his mother Lucy Heartfilia and they were laughing at an argument that Gray Fullbuster was having with his wife. Juvia and Lyon had gone off to find rooms and Erza had taken her son, Liam, to look at the new arena for this year's games.

"That's certainly different than when we competed in the Grand Magic Games." Natsu pointed a finger at Igneel, "You have both our guild's and my reputation to keep up, you hear?"

Lucy laughed and knelt to pick up Leila and Carmen. "Oh, Natsu, he's only eighteen. He has never done this before, cut him a little slack."

Igneel rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "You completed in the old style of the Games when you were my age, and the only reason I haven't competed yet is because you wouldn't give up your legendary team status," He grinned mischievously, "Still need to show off, Dad, even in your old age?"

Natsu spluttered and grabbed Igneel by the ear. "Listen here, you little pink-haired-"

"You're one to talk, Dad, the apple didn't fall very far from the tree on that one."

Just as Natsu was winding up for a big lecture, Gray looped his arm around Natsu's neck. "Come one, he's right, and he sounds just like you used to."

"I wasn't that quick on the up take when I was his age!"

"Yup," Happy landed on Natsu's head, "No one's quite sure where he got that from."

"Excuse me," A girl came careening up the road and collided with Gray's son Colin as he came out of an alley. She blushed to the roots of his spiky green hair and scrambled away from him. Colin had inherited Gray's habitual clothing shedding.

"Can you tell me where the delegation from Hunter's Arrow is? I lost them somewhere, oh!" She tripped and fell into Lucy, "I'm sorry!"

"Come on, you klutz, we have to find the master and check in for the team events. All we did was sign up for individual stuff." A girl who matched the first one, except with purple hair instead of green, pulled Lucy to her feet, "I'm so sorry, my sister is the biggest klutz ever."

"Oh come on, Mona, just because you have your stupid earth power, extra sensitive feet-"

"Says the one with wind magic who could just fly instead of knocking everyone over, Pia!"

Pia's green hair stood even more on end. "We're being rude!"

Mona's purple spikes drooped a little. "And we still have to find the master."

Pia tripped over her own feet trying to run after Mona and growled in frustration. Igneel watched her pick herself up and launch herself into the air. He laughed slightly as she bounced from building to building, quickly passing her sister to a shout of "Hey, no fair!"

"Who were they?" Juvia was squinting after the pair. "Juvia does not know them."

Natsu was frowning slightly as he took Leila to relieve Lucy. "We should ask Laxus about that guild. Hunter's Arrow, I've heard of them but I can't think of why."
