A Dragon Slayer's Belly

Natsu Dragneel swallowed some fire.
He was a Dragon Slayer, of course. That was his reason.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed some water.
The fire would go.
It wouldn't get hotter.

He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed a fly.
The fly would dance and wouldn't die.
He thought it would be funny.

He swallowed the fly to dance on the water,
He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed a box.
The buzzing fly was like a million ticking clocks.

He swallowed the box to trap the fly,
He swallowed the fly to dance on the water,
He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed a key.
The key locked the box.
That, he could see.

He swallowed the key to lock the box,
He swallowed the box to trap the fly,
He swallowed the fly to dance on the water,
He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed some rope.
Lucy wanted her key back.
She couldn't cope.

He swallowed the rope to retrieve the key,
He swallowed the key to lock the box,
He swallowed the box to trap the fly,
He swallowed the fly to dance on the water,
He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed a knife.
The sword would be used to ease the strife.

He swallowed the sword to cut the rope,
He swallowed the rope to retrieve the key,
He swallowed the key to lock the box,
He swallowed the box to trap the fly,
He swallowed the fly to dance on the water,
He swallowed the water to down the fire,
He swallowed the fire because he's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.

Natsu had a lot of things in his belly.
It made him upset, but what could he do?

Erza missed her sword.
She was very unhappy.
Happy tried to pull out the sword.
But he was unlucky.
Lucy tried her hand.
The sword would only stay.
Gray even gave a try.
The thing wouldn't budge.

"Oh fudge!" cried Natsu.

Gajeel got up from this seat.
Sick of this chaos, he was on his feet.
"Natsu, try this," he said.
He held out a flame, bright and red.

Natsu Dragneel swallowed the fire.
The fire could melt the metal.
Just what they needed.
Much to Erza's protests, unheeded.

The metal melted around the rope,
The rope turned solid and they could pull at the key,
The key felt a tug and carried the box,
The box came up holding the fly,
The fly was stuck and couldn't say "Bye".

Of course the water and fire had digested.

But why did Natsu swallow the fire?

He's a Dragon Slayer, that's why.


A/N: I know, the rhyming is all. Over. The. Place. But I think it's still fun to read. I was thinking of making more of these based on other characters. Hope you liked this one!
