AN- I was just attending my computer class, when this idea just randomly popped into my head like ' * poof * There you go! The new idea you requested has arrived in the most proper of times'. So, here you are.

Lucy is four years old. Laxus is thirteen.

Lucy, a little girl of four, was running behind Plue towards their home in the evening. Plue was their household dog, more like puppy.

"Plue! Plue! Wait up boy." she wheezed.

" Arf! Arf!"

"No boy! I want to win." she whined. Somehow understanding what the puppy's barks meant. Eventually, the small puppy reached the destination earlier than she did, only by a few seconds. She crossed her short arms across her chest and pouted in annoyance, panting. But, giggled when he jumped into her arms and gave her a big wet lick on the cheek. She held him in her arms and walked into the house.

Not soon after she went through the backdoor of her house, she could hear angry shouts, loud thumps and clatters, probably objects being thrown around. Worried and scared, she walked slowly towards the racket. As she walked closer to the noisy argument, she could hear the yells clearer. She recognised the two voices as her mother's and father's, Layla Dreyar (in this story I want her to be a Dreyar) and Ivan Heartfilia.

When she reached to the place where noises came from, she was blocked by a wooden door and a familiar looking body. Her big brother, Laxus, was already there peeping through a small gap between the door and the frame. She squeezed her body in front of him and peeped through the gap as well. She let out a small gasp when she looked into the room. Her parents' faces were flushed red in anger and they were growling at each other, their eyes full of fury. They were screaming insults at each other.

Lucy looked up at Laxus her face holding confusion and fear. Laxus looked back down at her. He hated that fearful look on her face, he didn't want her to know this and be afraid at such a young age, scratch that, he didn't want her to ever be scared of anything.

"Lax-nii?" she whispered.

"Yes?" He prodded in a hushed voice. He, unfortunately, knew what she was going to ask.

"What is happening? Is everything fine?" he sighed deeply. He knew this was coming, now he needed to make an excuse.

"Nothing's wrong Little Bunny, Mom and Dad are just arguing over where we should go in the vacations this year." he said lamely. He mentally face palmed at his lame excuse. He could see that she didn't believe him. She narrowed his eyes at him but didn't question him further, as she knew that he wouldn't hide anything from her without a reason.

"Ok Lax-nii."

He gave her a small smile and led her out of the house, to play together. They (along with Plue) ran around the field behind their house. They played tag, Lucy giggled as Laxus tripped over grass that she had knotted together (he was acting).

Layla walked out, going towards the back of the house. She looked at two children with loving eyes, her lips quivering. She knew that the family was going to be ripped apart, she didn't want the bond between the two young blonds to be severed. That is when an idea popped into her head, she would send Laxus to a special school considering he was old enough. There he would be trained early for his future career.

Layla called out to Lucy and Laxus, telling them to come in for dinner. They both came to her running and panting, exhausted. Lucy went into the house with Plue right behind her nipping at her heels as they entered the house to clean up before dinner. But before Layla could go into the house, she was stopped by Laxus. Judging by the serious look on his face, it was about the event that had taken place just then.

"Don't tell her anything, she is too young." he said grimly. He was talking about Lucy.

"I wasn't planning on doing so." she said, her tone sad. He simply nodded and disappeared behind the backdoor. She looked up at the now starry sky and closed her chocolate brown eyes.

"Please Lord, don't let them go through hard times, and even if they do... give them a happy ending. Even if that means that I have have to sacrifice mine." she prayed, whispered towards the stars. Tears were running down her face as she looked pleadingly heavenwards.

5 years later

Lucy had just turned nine just two months ago, and Laxus was now eighteen, graduated from Fairy Tail Academy (it is for all ages) and had earned a job a the Fairy Tail district police station, one of the best stations in Fiore. He had grown to hate his parents but went soft whenever around Lucy. Lucy was expected to attend the same academy as Laxus. Layla and Ivan were having arguments more often in the last month. It would be anytime that week that they would have the last fight. Coincidentally, it was the day Laxus had returned from Magnolia (the place were FTA was located) to visit Lucy.

"All you do is sit around and demand us to do your work!"

"What about you Layla?!"

"What about me!"

"All you are good for is cooking! Why don't you leave you useless woman!" Ivan insulted. That was the last straw for Layla.

"Fine! Have it your way." she screamed, tears streaming across her pale cheeks. She grabbed Laxus' and Lucy's hand and stormed into her room. As, she huriedlly packed her belongings away, she picked up a bracelet with nine golden and silver key charms strung onto it.

"Laxus, the reason I send you away to the academy was because I knew this day was coming. I didn't want you and Lucy to be separated just because of our fights. I wanted you to be able to support both yours and Lucy's life. Protect her til the best of your capabilities, there will be problems that you will have to let her handle on her own. You will know which problems I'm talking about when they arise." she said tearfully, as she handed him a small box. Laxus looked at her with wide eyes, he had always hated his mom for sending him away. He thought that she didn't want him, now he knew the real reason why. He tucked away the box into his back pocket.

She kneeled and looked at Lucy, who was hugging his brother's waist from behind. Layla took hold of Lucy's left hand and held them in one of her hands gently. She picked up the bracelet and slid it onto the little girl's wrist.

"Lucy, love, stay and protect your brother the same way he does you. This bracelet here? Each of its charms represents one of your birthdays. I was planning on giving it to you on your 10th birthday, but now, Laxus will give you one every birthday from that box I gave him. Stay happy, please take care of your brother. I love the both of you." she said sadly. Now Laxus and Lucy also had tears running down their faces. Layla gave the both of them tender kisses on the forehead.

"But Mama! You can't leave. I don't want you to leave! Please stay, for me?" Lucy cried pleadingly.

"I am sorry Lu. But, I have to go. I have some unfinished important business. But, I promise to visit once I am done. I am going to leave by cab. Laxus drive to your house in Magnolia with Lucy and stay there. Take little Plue along." Layla ordered as she handed Laxus a suitcase filled with Lucy's belongings. He just nodded, grabbed the suitcase, picked up Lucy and Plue and ran out of the house towards his car, Layla right behind him on the way outside. When they zoomed out of the front gate, Laxus, Lucy and the older blond gave one another a long glance as if trying to memorise each others looks.

Layla broke away first. She whipped around and walked briskly towards a waiting cab. Laxus turned and walked to his car with Lucy clutching onto his shirt tightly as she sobbed and Plue sleeping in his arms. He ran a hand through her hair gently, telling her that he would take care of her and not leave her, so she should wipe those tears of her face. She nodded, dried her tears and hugged him tightly as they approached their car. He made her sit in the back seat of the car. As she put on her seat belt with a dozing Plue on her lap, he started the car and they travelled towards Magnolia in silence.

When they reached Laxus' house, Lucy quietly slid out her seat onto the ground. She went to Laxus and took hold of his hand. He looked down to her, then smiled softly and squeezed her hand gently and led her up the stairs of an apartment. She peeped into the house, more like apartment. It was a luxurious three bedroom flat. It had a two big bedrooms and a smaller one, a dining room, two bathrooms both with a working shower, a kitchen and a large hall with a comfortable looking sofa and a huge flat screen TV.

She stepped into the apartment and sat on the leather sofa and set Plue down next to her, feeling extremely tired. Laxus locked the door behind him and walked towards the sleepy girl. He sat down and pulled the tiny girl onto his lap. He hummed a lullaby softly and rocked her to sleep, while thinking if he should make her join the same academy he studied in or not.

AN- Aaaaaannnd that is it. Please tell me if this should be made into a full story or not. I will make it into a full on story if you guys ask. Buh bye!
