Attracting a Dragon's Attention

Summary: Set during episode 20. Natsu and Lisanna are watching the dragon egg together, like any other normal family. However, later in life, Lisanna realises that she has lost her chance to say her feelings. NaLi

Notes: Failed attempt at a Fairy Tail story again. If you ask why 'again', I wrote an FT story before. Still no reviews, by the way.

This is very short, btw. Probably not very good, but a review to say I did okay would be good. I don't mind if you lie. I need support from this part of the Anime section.

"I'm telling you Lisanna, it's a dragon egg. I should know, I was raised by one." The white haired girl sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I know. You've been saying that since you brought that egg to the guild. And I haven't said anything about it not being a dragon's egg." The boy pouted, clutching the egg close to him. Lisanna sighed again, then smiled. She put her hand on Natsu's own hand, which was clutching the egg tightly. Natsu blushed, his mouth open partly and him stuttering.

"Just remember, I'm trying to help you. I'm the mommy in this family." Natsu's blush deepened. Lisanna's smile widened.

'He's so cute,' she thought.

Later, in Lisanna and Natsu's 'home'…

"Welcome home!" Natsu jumped, clutching the egg tighter as he entered the hut. For the third day in a row, Lisanna was waiting in their 'home'. When Natsu didn't say anything, Lisanna pouted and repeated, "Wel-come home." Natsu blushed, loosening his grip on the egg.

"I…I'm home." He put down the egg and Lisanna pulled out a blanket to cover the egg. The egg quivered slightly as the girl wrapped the blanket around it. She chuckled.

"I wonder what the dragon will look like…" she whispered, looking out at the windswept farmland. Natsu looked down. Lisanna noticed and turned to him, worried and curious.

"Natsu? Is something wrong?" He jumped, and shook his head.

"N-No! N-Nothing's wrong! I…" he looked away from her, turning a slightly rosy shade of pink, similar to his hair.

"You what?" Lisanna asked.

"I…was thinking about Igneel. He's gonna be a grandfather as soon as this egg hatches," Natsu said, blushing a bright shade of red. Lisanna watched the boy, amazed. She didn't know about this side to Natsu. She'd only really known about the rough side to Natsu, the side that would demand a fight from anything that moved. She looked away, blushing herself.

Natsu really was a sweet boy. You just had to get to know him better to see that side of him. If you were to see him in the guild otherwise, you wouldn't believe it if someone told you about his cute, sweet side. Lisanna smiled.

'You know…maybe, just maybe…' she thought. She cast a glance over at the boy.

"Um, Natsu?" The boy turned to look at the girl. Her head was still down. she wasn't looking at him and her face was flushed pink.

"What?" She blushed a deeper shade of red, making Natsu wonder what was on her mind.

"You know, these last few days, we've been…you know, spending a lot of time together raising the egg. And, it's just that…I've kind of-"

"NATSU!" Lisanna stopped, and looked outside with Natsu. The ground nearby blew up, making the kids jump. Through the smoke, walking towards them, was a scary figure. A very familiar figure…

"Shit! Mira's coming for me!" Natsu screeched, grabbing the egg and sprinting out of the hut and in the direction of the guild. Avoiding the pissed off Mirajane of course. Lisanna watched the boy leave, with Mira seeing him and following. She was worried, her eyes starting to fill with tears. She was so close.

And now, despite the fact that they will have known each other for years, they would never get this chance again…

Natsu stood over Lisanna's grave, rain surrounding him. He sniffed, tears rolling down his face. He looked up at the storm clouds. A roll of thunder boomed overhead.

"Lisanna…" he whispered.

"What did you want to tell me?"

Mirajane cradled Lisanna in her arms. Elfman stood behind her, sobbing and muttering over and over, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Lisanna, please please don't die!" Mira sobbed holding her injured sister closer to her. Lisanna smiled.

"Please…don't cry…Mira-nee, Elf-nii," she said quietly, reaching up and brushing away Mirajane's tears, despite the fact that they were mixing with the falling rain.

"I…I'm not going…anywhere…I…I'm going to stay…and I'm…going to…make you both…smile…I…want to see you smile…I want…to see…Fairy Tail…smile…" Lisanna stuttered, her eyes closing with every gasp.

"Lisanna!" Mira shouted. Lisanna took a deep breath in and opened her eyes a crack. Mira looked like a blur. Lisanna smiled.

"M…Mira-nee…please…do me…a favour…" Mira nodded, her tears landing on the fading girl with each nod.

"Yes! Anything!" Lisanna closed her eyes, but she was still smiling.

"Would you…please…tell Natsu…that I…" Lisanna stopped as she took in a deep breath, then, she was still.

"Lisanna? Lisanna!" Mira shouted, shaking the still body. A golden light appeared form the sky and wrapped the wizard in its shining embrace. Mira bent her head, clutching Lisanna while she was being wrapped up by the light. Then, when the light was gone, along with the girl, Mira threw her head back and wailed to the heavens.

"LISANNA!"

I know this was no good. Like I said above, don't be afraid to lie and say that this piece of crap was good.
