Ah, just a cute little oneshot which I may carry on about Natsu and Erza and their little child Elizabeth
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Elizabeth
Something for Daddy
Magnolia, the town of mages. There is a peculiar guild in there which have been around for years. Fairy Tail. Many events happened during their time; Phantom War, Tenroujima, Grand Magic Games and Tartaros. In all that, everyone managed to survive and pull off the events that had happened during their peak times. Now, its 10 years later and no one dares to ever challenge Fairy Tail again. They became strong, surpassed the strongest and Fairy Tail was now a bustling gigantic guild. It had many makeovers during the past 10 years of peacefulness. Lots of talented wizards came and joined and guild, everyone who was in the Guild 10 years ago, was still there. Sure, they were older and more powerful. But now they were wiser and their choice of attire had changed quite a bit. Also, they started their very own families; after all, 10 years can make a big difference.
Early in the morning the sun raised, the tint of yellow that burst through the slits of the curtains as they hit on the bed right next to a small red-headed girl. A magic clock rang with a small dragon roar and the small red-headed girl stirred in her sleep hugging tight a cute plush of a red dragon her father had made. After a few seconds of more roaring she groaned and got up shutting the clock up. It was 7:30 and the girl had already fixed her hair up with a simple few strokes of a brush. However, she still was in her pyjamas being too lazy to change herself.
Suddenly she heard a female voice shout her name. "Elizabeth!" The voice called as the girl started smiling and ran out the door leaning over the railings to see another redhead but she was older and was holding a spatula.
"Yes mummy?" Elizabeth asked already knowing what her mother was going to say.
"Breakfast is re-"Elizabeth dashed down the stairs and appeared in front of her mother, her mouth already salivating. Who knew that the great Erza could have such a lively daughter, but that was to blame for her husband. Erza was wearing black jogging pants that just went past her ankles and was wearing a red tank top with her hair flowing freely down.
"What are we having today mummy?" The smaller version of Erza said running around her beloved mother.
"We are having your favourite and usual breakfast."
"Eggs with sausage and really spicy chicken?!"
"Yes dear, we are." She silently cursed her husband for passing on down his ability to eat really spicy food but she eventually got used to it having her child for 6 years. She remembered when she was pregnant and had her husband practically buy her loads of spicy food.
The mother and daughter sat at the table, turned on the Lacrima TV and started eating. On the TV there was a news broadcast which showed a big town in it.
"In Today's broadcast news of Magnolia TV, The huge rampaging beast has been finally defeated in Haruma Town by the one and only Four Flamed Salamander!"
Elizabeth and Erza looked towards to the TV while eating as saw highlights of a pink haired man effortlessly killing off the huge rampant beast. His arms were crossed as four different coloured flames danced around him attacking the huge beast. The flames all formed into one and were sent towards the beast leaving nothing but a crater in its aftermath.
"Despite a few damages to the outskirts of town, everything else was fine and the town in saved! In other news-"The screen changed to a more peaceful setting and was now at 2 people who were sat at desks with papers in their hands. Both Elizabeth and Erza stopped paying attention and continued eating their breakfast.
"Daddy's coming back today isn't he?"
"Yes he is!" Erza replied happily. She hasn't seen him for 2 weeks because of the S-Class mission that was just shown in TV. She looked over to the calendar and the date today was marked in a red circle, it was Father's Day.
"Hey Elizabeth."
"Yes mummy?"
"Guess what day it is today?" Elizabeth scrunched her face up just like her father would when he was thinking about something. She widened her eyes and shaped her mouth like an 'o'.
"It's Father's day! We need to do something for Daddy when he comes back!" She frantically waved her hands around. Erza chuckled as she already got something for her pink haired dragon. She decided to let Elizabeth grow up a bit and let her get Natsu something.
"Why yes, yes it is. Did you get daddy anything?"
"No! I need to go shopping to find daddy something!"
"Hmm... Let's see if Auntie Mirajane and Uncle Laxus can help us at the guild." The duo finished their breakfast and reequipped into their more casual clothes. Erza now wore a red skirt with a black jumper and still wore the knee length black leather boots. Elizabeth had changed into a pink frilly dress that went just past her knees and her hair was in a pony tail held up by a red ribbon. Erza held Elizabeth's hand and walked out of their home.
Their house Natsu had bought them was relatively big. Sure it costs 700,000 Jewels but it was the perfect size for the family, he had bought the place after him and Erza got married. Thank goodness it was close to the Guild, not many houses were near guilds as you could probably see why. The house had 3 bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a basement. When Elizabeth was smaller she would always run away from Natsu because it was always her bedtime and they stumbled downstairs into the basement; he had kept old memories and pictures of the mission he did together with Erza. It wasn't until 3 hours later Erza found them laughing and giggling messing around with some objects.
Walking from their house to the guild isn't much of a problem, it was only a 5-10 minute walk and they would always get greeted by the neighbours as they walked down the street. They had reached the big doors of the guild and entered it.
10 years can make a difference, and 10 years things change. The guild had many makeovers in the past decade. It was now huge, occupying at least 100 guild members; the S-Class floor had a handful of people there and the Master's office was bigger than ever. It was pretty quiet in the guild as not many people were there yet.
Elizabeth spotted 4 kids sat around a table talking about something and laughing. She looked up at her mother as she gave her a sign to go and play with them. Elizabeth silently thanked her and ran up to the kids. The 4 kids were loud and energetic, especially in the morning and people had no idea why. There were 2 boys and 2 girls sat there and 1 more if you include in Elizabeth, the two boys were fighting and mocking each other but that came to a stop when Elizabeth came. Now there was one attribute that she had gained from her mother; scaring the hell out of everyone.
"Yuzu! Jake! What do you think you two are doing?!" her killing intent leaked out a bit frightening the poor boys to death.
"W-We weren't f-fighting for anything! Right Jake?" The blue haired boy said to the black haired boy putting and arm around him. "We're best of friends!" They both blurted out. Elizabeth squinted at them before taking a seat next to the girls.
"Ah! Elizabeth! Did you get anything for your dad today? It's father day today!" the blonde girl with a lightning scar across her left eye said. Elizabeth sighed and flopped onto the table.
"No... I don't know what to get daddy... and he comes back this afternoon! I need to get him something, help me Ruka and Leah..." The orange haired girl put down her book and started thinking. "How about you get him a gift?"
"Like what?" Yuzu and Jake sat at the table and gave out their opinions.
"Like maybe a model of a dragon?" Jake said "He is a dragon slayer, like my dad."
"I'm getting my dad an ice sculpture!"
"I'm getting daddy a plush lion doll!"
"I'm buying daddy a new set of magic headphones! Daddy loves his music."
Tell me you've got who these parents of these kids are, right? Well if you haven't I'll tell you now. Yuzu is the son of Gray and Juvia (about damn time), Jake is the son of the dragon slayer Gajeel and the bookworm Levy. Ruka is the daughter of Mirajane and Laxus, (probably gave it away there with the scar) and Leah is the daughter of Lucy and Loke.
Elizabeth dazed off into the distance looking at her mum which now approached the infamous barmaid Mirajane.
Erza waved at Mirajane and approached her sitting on a stool and ordering a cheesecake. Ten years didn't really change Erza's love for cheesecakes. Especially strawberry cheesecakes.
"The kid's there are as lively as ever aren't they?" Mirajane said wiping a few bottles. "My daughter's quite an energetic one as well."
"Ah, Elizabeth isn't really a fan of mornings, a bit like her father actually, but today is an exception."
"Father's day?"
"Yep."
"She forget to buy him something?"
"Yeah."
"And now she's panicking and you need me and Laxus' help?"
"Straight on the bullseye."
"Did someone say my name?" Laxus leaned over the railing looking down at his wide and the red head from the master's office. Why was he at the Master's office? Well he was the Master now of course. Makarov had retired off somewhere in vacation but would often come and visit to see how things were doing.
"Come down here sweety!" Mirajane yelled waving her arms at him. Laxus teleported down next to them in an electrical burst, he wore black jeans with black pants with a yellow collar shirt and his headphones around his neck with music still playing. Mirajane on the other hand wore a blue dress and had a side ponytail. Mirajane went up to Laxus and kissed him on the lips.
"What is it my demon?" Laxus smirked
"Erza need help for Elizabeth on what to get Natsu." She said ignoring the teasing name her husband gave her.
"Ah yes, it's Father day today isn't it..." He teleported back into his office and got something off his desk and teleported back giving Erza a coupon.
"There is a store that sells all kind of magical items just for Father Day only. Take Elizabeth there and buy her something, this coupon lets you get 1 item of choice for free."
"Thank you master." Erza said bowing her head.
"Just call me Laxus, Erza. You know how I dislike senior members called me master." And with the said he teleported in a flash. She thanked Mira as well; Mira then proceeded to go back behind the bar and stamped something for a quest for someone. "We've got more members now."
"Really? I haven't noticed." This time was when everyone started to come into the guild now so she waved Mirajane goodbye and turned around in time just to see Elizabeth whacking the two boys's head together with the 2 girls laughing in the background. She sighed thinking how she was so like her at some points.
"Elizabeth! We're going shopping for daddy, let's go!" said girl perked her head towards her mother and run towards her, before that thought she glared at Yuzu and Jake not to fight while she was gone. She held her mother's hand as they walked out the Guild narrowly avoiding the mass of people entering the Fairy Tail.
*Somewhere East of Magnolia*
A man with pink hair in red jeans accompanied with a plain black tee under a red leathery trench coat. His boots clacked as he trudged through the dirt in the forest.
'I wonder what Elizabeth and Erza got me for today...' He thought of his beloved wife and child and walked even faster. He would arrive probably around 2 in the afternoon or maybe 1:30 if he was lucky. However, his thoughts were interrupted when a young blue haired woman almost rammed into him. If it wasn't his reflexes he wouldn't have caught the young blue haired woman by her back. Natsu saw her face and recognised it as one of his Dragon slayer guildmates.
"Wendy?" He saw that she had numerous cuts and gashes in her body tearing some bits of her clothes off. She was panting and had her eyes closed, she opened them and saw a familiar tuft of pink hair.
"N-Natsu-san..." She put up her hand to point at a fire beast 10 metres away from them before dropping her arm.
"Shh, don't talk, its fine I'll handle this." She gently rested Wendy's head on the soft grass and turned towards the fire beast. He took off his gloves and smashed them together.
"A fire beast against a fire dragon? Your chances are pretty slim." He said pointing to the beast. The beast roared and galloped towards Natsu. Said man taunted the beast with his index finger and middle finger before he dashed up to the beast grabbing it's head and slamming it down onto the ground creating a powerful shockwave rooting the trees out of the ground. Natsu eyes gleamed red and look like it leaked out fire, he smirked sucking the fire all out of the beast dispersing it from reality. All was left was a black charcoal-coloured crater and a diameter of 20m of missing trees.
'I may have released too much energy there.' Natsu thought sweatdropping. He came to his senses as he heard the groan of the blue haired woman. Wendy slowly and groggily sat up putting her hand to her head.
"Natsu... what happened?" She saw various trees that she remembered still being there now uprooted and flung somewhere else.
"Some monster." He ran up to Wendy carried her bridal style and sprouted wings from his back. Wendy blushed at the contact but nonetheless she snuggled against his chest. "Hang on tight Wendy." Natsu darted upwards into the air before he reeled his body back and broke the speed of sound as he travelled. 'Is it me or is Wendy's boobs getting bigger...?' Natsu thought avoiding looking at the sleeping woman in his arms. 'She's grown up now.' He showed a slight smile as he flew faster towards Magnolia.
*Magnolia*
"How about this one mummy!" Elizabeth said pointed to some sort of modern art.
"Eh... Daddy isn't much of an art person..." Erza said giving an unsure smile. Elizabeth pouted and sighed. She had nothing else. She was about to give up when she saw a small metal dragon. She came up to it and touched it. To her surprise it started flying around her making cute little roaring noises. Elizabeth has found a gift.
"Mummy!" Erza appeared behind her
"Yes dear?"
"I want this one!" She said pointing to the dragon on her shoulder.
"A mechanical dragon? Do you think daddy would like it?"
"Daddy would like it very much!" And with that said they paid for it and put the mechanical object in the bag with it turned off. They both walked outside and saw how the street was bustling with mothers and daughters finding something for the man in their family.
"Mummy, it's really busy here isn't it?"
"Of course! It's busier than last year actually."
"What time is it mummy?" Erza looked at her watch on her right hand.
"It's 1:25, Daddy should be coming around 2 so we should get going!"
"Yeah! Let's go!" Erza requipped half of her flight armour only changing the boosts and carried Elizabeth.
"Hold tight!" They flew off over to Fairy Tail at a breakneck speed.
Once they arrived the duo sat down at the table waiting for the pink haired mage. Elizabeth looked around and saw Yuzu giving a small ice sculpture to Gray, Jake gave Gajeel a metal tinder box, Ruka gave Laxus Magic Headphones and Leah bought Loke a book. All dads were overjoyed by their presents and hugged their children.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard an alarm.
"What's going on?"Erza asked standing up and going over to the lacrima TV.
"There seems to be a humanoid creature with wings carrying a blue haired girl speeding towards Fairy Tail." Max said pressing a few buttons
Erza's eye widened "It's Natsu!"
As soon as she said that all the senior guild members stopped and froze but then started to move all tables and chairs to the side getting a few new guild members to help. The new guild members had no idea what was going on.
"Estimated time of arrival: 20 seconds!" They all quietly counted down until you could hear the soft whoosh getting louder and louder.
Natsu in a blink of an eye landed slat bang in the middle of the guild creating a small crater of 1m in diameter. He stood up holding Wendy and giving her to Romeo telling him to go get the pink haired doctor.
"How's it going guys? Long time no see, although it was only 2 weeks." He smirked as he retracted his wings. The new guild members were at shock as they have heard rumours about the Dragon Slayer but never expected to see them that close.
"Ah Natsu!" Laxus shouted from the top.
"Back already?"
"It was pretty easy, although I had some minor setbacks on the way here." He said gesturing to Wendy who was passed out. "But nonetheless, it was fine!" He materialized his wings back.
"Daddy!" Natsu couldn't react as a red mop of hair hugged him tight around the waist followed by another mop of red hair hugging him around the neck "Welcome home." Erza said kissing Natsu on the lips.
"Erza! Elizabeth! It's so good to see you." He said patting Elizabeth on the head and kissing her on the cheek.
"Look daddy! I bought you something!" She pulled out a mechanical dragon that she painted red and turned it on. It started flying around and landed on Natsu's shoulder.
"Well this is something new." He touched the metal figure as it playfully tried to bite Natsu's finger.
"Ah speaking of which, where's happy?"
"Right here!" He rammed right into Natsu's face hugging him and almost suffocating him.
"How's it going little buddy? How's your kid?"
"Ah he's fine, he's with Carla at the moment, I just came here to see you again and to wish you a happy Father's Day since you did raise me."
The cat looked older and much bigger now, his wings were longer and more whiter if that was possible at all. The small dragon then looked at Happy before chasing him around the guild.
"Natsuuu! Help! He's chasing me!" Natsu laughed at the antics before heading towards Erza.
"2 weeks huh?"
"Yeah, I've got something for you tonight." She went close up to his hear and whispered. "Don't keep me waiting." She winked at him causing Natsu to blush.
"Daddy, carry me!"
"Alright, alright sweety hold on tight!" he lifted her around his neck and cheered.
Gajeel then shouted "Natsu's back! Let's PARTY!" Gajeel threw down some beer on the table handing it out to the adults and handed juice to the kids. The guild all got rowdy dazzling a few new guild members, but I guess it was normal.
After the party everyone was passed out. In the corner was the Dragneel family, Natsu sleeping in a sitting position against the wall with Elizabeth sleeping on his lap and Erza hugging his left arm and leaning on his shoulder asleep. Mirajane gazed towards the family and couldn't help think
'10 Years can make a difference can't it?'
So? Did you like it or not? I might carry it on depending on what you readers say about it. Thanks for reading! and Happy Father's Day!
