'Mommy why are you crying?' asked a 5 year old girl to her mom who was crying about a letter she had received. ' I.. it's daddy, h…honey.' Said the mother to her daughter, how could she explain this? 'Well what's wrong with daddy? Did he destroy a whole town again ' asked the little girl and giggled but when she saw the look on her mother's face she stopped and she knew it was worse than that. She was starting to get scared. ' Daddy i..is not coming home anymore.' The mother said and started crying again, the little girl's eyes went big. ' W…what do you m…mean, d…daddy isn't coming home anymore?' she asked. It took a little time before the answer came.' There was a big problem and daddy wasn't able to manage it so….' The mother couldn't go on with the story it was just too much but the little girl knew what her mommy told her and screamed: ' daddy isn't gone! He… he promised me to go with me to the rainbow sakura festival and play bingo with me and… and that we would eat some fireballs after bingo! He would never break that promise!' the little girl was also in tears now. 'Don't cry Layla, everything will be just fine. I'll go with you to the festival and play bingo and treat you on some fireballs.' Said the mother trying to calm the little girl down. ' B…but my little baby brother or sister in your belly m…makes you tired a..and you can't eat fire and daddy and I would have a race about who can eat t..the most of it and it's not the same with d.. daddy!'' Daddy will always be in our heart.' said the mother but the little girl didn't listen. ' DADDY ISN"T DEAD!' she screamed and ran outside.
13 years later….
13 years. 13 years and still he wasn't back. I've never believed that he was death, my mom and I have fought many times about that. She has given up like everyone else in the guild.
My name is Layla and my mom's name is Lucy and my dad's name is Natsu. I look like him my mom said and it's true. I've the same magic as him. When I was young he learned me two dragon slayer moves: the roar of the fire dragon and the fists of the fire dragon. I have the same spikey and pink hair as he has and I'm a little bit impatient. My little brother, Igneel, has the same magic as my mom. That's right he's a stellar mage. My mom has given him 2 of her golden keys. Igneel looks like my mom except that he has spikey blond hair. Anyway after those introductions I will go on with the story.
I went home from the guild to see my mom really depressed. Hell she was always depressed around this time of the year. I sighed' Come on mom, I know today is the day you received the letter but don't get depressed every time. It irritates me and it depresses Igneel too. Besides dad isn't death.' ' I'm living on Layla, it's you who's getting stuck in the past. How can you still say, after 13 years, Natsu is still alive?' she said with a little bitter voice.' Cause I can feel he's alive and I'm going to find him.' I said and I started to get a little angry. Gosh why wanted that woman always ruin my mood? I know she don't want that but it really looks like it.' Knock it of Layla and will you look for your little brother? It's almost dinner time.' ' Igneel is in the HQ and I'm just coming from there, but don't change the subject.." I was interrupted by mom who snapped with a angry voice:' Layla, I don't want to talk about that! He's gone and now you go to get your brother, got it?' "fine, I'll say to Igneel that he has to come home but I'm eating at the guild!' I yelled back and walked outside without even hearing what my mom said. At the guild I saw Igneel standing by Gray and they were wrestling. I walked to them. 'time to knock off, mom is waiting for you at home with dinner.' I said to Igneel. " C'mon sis, I was winning! Just one minute more, 'kay?' Igneel said while he was still punching Gray. Normally I would let him, cause I love him very much but today I was grumpy so I pulled him out of the fight. 'Now.' I said to him. 'fine.' he grumbled. ' aren't you coming home for dinner?' He asked.' Nah, mom and I had a fight again so I'm eating here.' I said and I heard him sigh. ' 'kay, see ya.' He said and he went off.' Oi, burned brain, why didn't you let us finish our fight?' asked Gray.' Listen you little Ice princess, and I will repeat it slowly because your brain is frozen, but my mom is waiting for him with dinner. Besides your fights are stupid.' I said and wanted to walk over to the bar to get some fireballs but Gray stopped me.' Did you had a fight with Lucy again?' he asked. ' yes, and if you will put some clothes on and let me eat I won't burn you.' I said. He knocked off. I have to admit something, I have horrible tantrums and everyone in the guild knows it. Gray knew that if he asked more questions that I would get one. So everyone let me walk to the bar and let me eat my fireballs until someone came sitting next to me, it was Erza. There were a few people who weren't afraid for my tantrums and Erza was one of them. The others were master, Mirajane, Mom and Gildarts. ' What do you want?' I grumbled while eating another fireball.' I want you to stop fighting with your mom and become happy.' She said.' I'm happy and every teenage girl have some fights with their mom.' I ordered more fireballs and coffee. 'if you're really happy, when was the last time you smiled?' Erza asked and I choked almost in my coffee. ' what is that for a question? The last time was…. Was… uhm?' I couldn't remember. "the last time you smiled was when you were 5 years old.' Erza said and I looked in surprise at her. How did she know? ' After your father died I've never seen you smile again, nobody has. And you were always a little happy girl.' Erza said. I wanted to shoot her or burn her to ashes but I was afraid of her. Even I knew you didn't want a fight with Erza Titania cause she would beat the livin' daylights out of you. "I know what you're thinking but I want you to think about this.' She said. ' Do you want to become happy again or do you want to be stuck in the emptiness forever that your father left?' and with that she walked away. I sat there at the bar until Mira said it was time to go home and I made my decision. I know what I was going to do and with that in mind I walked home.
