Hello everyone! This is the author A Rash Decision and The Longest Drive Home. I have written a new story! YAY! It is just a cute little fluff and story telling fic. I'm sorry I haven't updated A Rash Decision in so long! I can't write, I have no inspiration for that story! Hence this may be a little bad. But I hope you like it anyway!

Disclaimer: As always Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. It will never belong to me and if it did, you would be waiting a year for each new chapter.

Enjoy!

"Mama, can you tell me a story please?" a young Lucy asked her mother.

"Of course darling, would you like a story about a princess and a prince again, or something different?"

"I want one like that but the dragon has to be nice this time." Asked little Lucy.

Layla's eyes widened as she looked at her young daughters serious face.

"But why would you want the dragon to be nice Lucy?"

"Because Mama, all the other stories make the dragons seem bad and then they get killed but the dragon was just protecting the princess." Lucy finished her explanation with a pout.

Layla laughed at her daughter's explanation as her eyes softened. It made sense really, what the small girl had said.

"Okay I agree. The dragon was just being protective, and in fact, dragons are actually very nice. So, I'll tell you a new story."

"Yay!" Lucy laughed and clapped her hands in excitement before settling herself at her mother's feet, eagerly awaiting the tale.

"Once upon a time there lived a beautiful princess. She was soon to be married to a prince but she didn't want that. She wanted to stay young and play all day. One day, a magnificent dragon was flying near the castle and saw the princess in the garden. The dragon thought the princess looked sad so he picked her up and carried her away to his cave.

"Now, the princess should have been scared but she wasn't, she had always thought that dragons were marvellous creatures. The princess should also have been sad that she was being taken away from her family. But she wasn't, not really. You see while the princess loved her parents with all her heart, they had been cruel to her recently and they were forcing her to marry someone she had never met.

"So the princess was happy to go with the dragon and the dragon was glad to cheer her up. He kept her in his cave and was fiercely protective of her. He played with her all day every day and kept her safe from harm.

"One day, after the princess had been with the dragon for two months, the prince she was supposed to marry came to get her back. The princess was scared and hid behind her dragon. The dragon was angry and fought the prince. They both fought hard but in the end the dragon won. As the dragon was so nice he didn't kill the prince, he never killed. He just beat him and told him to never come back.

"So the princess and the dragon lived together forever and lived happily ever after."

Layla finished her story and chuckled at her daughter's delighted expression. Lucy laughed and cheered, dancing around her mother. Layla smiled.

"Did you enjoy that story then darling?"

"Yes, yes, it was great! Thank you mama!"

"Of course dear. Off you go now, time for your lessons."

"Yes mama."

Lucy stood and ran from the garden to the house. Although lessons weren't her favourite thing, she was so content after hearing the story she was ready for everything. Little did she know that later, she would be telling another little girl a very similar story.
