Hi minna! Sorry I've been gone for a while! I haven't had time to work on Mercury alchemist, but I was atleast able to get this up! I hope you don't hate me! I forgot to mention something very important in the last chap! When Avery first started out she had her orange hair till her shoulders and wore rags for clothes. The picture is her different appearance later one! I'll let you're imaginations run how she looks till then!


The Tale of a Young Dragon

Part II of III

Character Song/OP:
Avery Reinhart (Kotoko) - World Link
VC: Rie Kugimiya (Me: I laughed so hard when I remembered she's Al's seiyu! XD But her voice, in my head, will only be used for the current young Av!)

++Morning++

::Dream::

"Avery! Don't go! Please! I beg of you!"
Who is it...?
"You can't leave! You promised that we'd be together with our family forever! We're your nakama!"
Family...? What family...? What does nakama mean...?
"Av... please... don't die...! Everyone fought so hard to save you..! Why would you sacrifice yourself for us...!?"
Who is that person...? Why is my face... Are these... tears...?
"AVERY!"

::End of Dream::

I woke up unfazed from my dream. I didn't care why I have that in the first place, in the past I've had dreams like that countless of times in the past and out of all the weird dreams this one was definitely the weirdest out of all of them. You can say that it's like I can see the future of what's going to happen to me and almost every time they're right, I need to pay attention to them more after the last time I ignored dreams like this or else something horrible will happen again. Just like that day... "Oh well! As long as I stay away from humans then I'll be safe," I shrug off the memory of the dream and decided to do the usual thing I do when I wake up.

Like humans, I too have a usual morning routine. I stretch in my hammock as I gazed down at the area below me, checking if any idiot intruder decided to try and sneak in to steal something that's completely useless like all the other crap I have in the place from all those dumb missions I go on. You need to have the balls in order to do that in my territory. I flew down slowly so I wouldn't accidentally knock down the giant egg. After keeping it for a month without thinking of eating it, then there's no way in hell will I waste such effort on keeping the thing if it's gonna break just like that. "Hey eggbert! I'm gonna go out for a little flight for a while! Make sure the house stay safe," I tell the egg before flying upwards. I don't have an exact name to call the creature inside the egg just yet. I need to know whether or not it's a boy or a girl and also if it's actually an egg of a monster, if it is I might have to end up killing the thing right after it was born. As I flew up in the air I could already feel the crisp morning wind touch my face, it felt so refreshing knowing that no humans have come out yet from their homes to pollute the air with their putrid odors to ruin my day. When I finally flew at about 20 feet off the ground, I stopped myself in place in mid-air and stared off at the morning sun as it rises up and lights up the town below it.

||At the Guild||

The moment I came into the guild and sat in my usual spot, the next thing I knew I was surrounded by all of the kids in Fairy Tail and bombarded with questions that I cannot answer. One of them even got the nerve to even sit right next to me. I grip on the handle of my cup tightly as I had an annoyed look in my eyes the louder the swarm continued to talk. 'Why did this have to happen...? All I wanted was to drink my juice in peace like always!' "How about you try this?" Fullbuster suddenly hands a cup filled with a mysterious yellow liquid. I took it, sniffed it, then I asked the boy with a distrustful look, "This isn't your pee right?" "The hell it isn't!" yells Fullbuster at my reaction to his offered drink. "You've never had lemonade before?" Lisanna Strauss asks, noticing my confusion. I gaze up from my drink and tilt my head in confusion at the new word, "What's a Liimonaid?" They both sweat drop in my reaction. (A/N: I don't know what kind of fruits they have in fairytail. I mean if you've seen the weird kinds of animals, excluding the monsters, you can probably guess what that their fruits aren't really normal. So I'll just stick to the normal ones we all know.) "It's not liimonaid Avery! It's lemonade! You know the type of that's green at first but turns yellow to show it's ripe," she explains to me, correcting me on my false knowledge of the name.

"Ripe? You mean the thing you say what someone's death?" I question on this new foreign word I've just learned, confused at what they were getting at. Levi sweat drops, "That's R.I.P.!" Gray face palms, "You maybe cute... but you're absolutely a lot more clueless than that guy!" "Cute? What's that?" The more and more we get into this conversation, the more I am feel myself fall into the back of my mind in search of every word in my vocabulary Reisswind taught me or atleast the time when I talked to Igneel when he came to visit my foster mother one time. "What animals do you know?" now it was that sky boy Dwarfmen asking me. (Me: Not a typo!) What is with these humans and talking to me? Can't they tell I don't want to be bothered? 'Or was it...' a mental image of both the old geezer and Dragon boy snickering evilly with one another, 'those two?'

"Please tell me you atleast know what a book is!" Levy begs as everyone soon got into talking to me. I tilt my head to the side asking, "Of course I know book is, you use that for campfires right? I was taught that anything that is burnable can be used for a campfire." I watch in boredom as Levy's soul starts to fly up into heaven, her two buddies trying to catch it and bring the soul back into it's body. I sigh then took another sip from my rainbow colored juice. "What is that stuff?" Gray asks me with a disgusted look when he see's my drink. "Hmm? This is just something I came up by myself to keep my healthy and not eat in those human restrooms," I answer casually before taking anther sip at my drink. Cana Alberona over hears this and corrects me, "It's restaurant! Not restroom! That's where normal people like us go to do our business." I pointed out the window that showed a nearby tree outside and state, "There are things call tree's and bushes. People will peek be able to peek on you, but if your careful enough and can do what ever you want peacefully until you're finished."

Everyone went dead silent at this.

Me: Bwahahahahaha! I just had to let it out! Av: You made me sound like an idiot... Me: Well since we share the same name and your still in you're child form so... Scarlet (16) Reinhart (9) = Scarlet Av: *anime vein* Shut up!

Some began to laugh while others fall to the side yelling 'that's wrong!' or 'didn't you go to school!?', any of those things got me irritated and I had the familiar old feeling of punching someone. "Not only does this kid look stupid," I felt someone sit ontop of my head, "but she is stupid!" "Mira-nee!" My eyebrows twitched in annoyance at the sudden weight I felt above me, though at least I can have the chance to say the devil is as evil as in stories and Mirajane Strauss is a total example of the devil itself- no, satan! "Mirajane, get off her head!" Scarlet orders. Oh no, we all know where this was going and I know this wasn't going to be pretty. I duck my head the moment Mirajane goes to punch Scarlet from across the table, to which she does as well, and in the end their fists ended up each others faces and my head forcefully begin forced downwards to look down at my lap to be used as a foot stool. 'I really hate humans...!' my thoughts scream as my body trembles in rage. "Psst! Avery down here!" I hear Natsu's voice from under the table, his hand beckoning for me to follow.

When I felt Mirajane's foot come off I took this chance to dive after Natsu and avoid the upcoming crazy battle, there's no way in hell will I get in a fight between two killer monsters. I crawled cautiously through the small cramped space filled with random crap, and hopefully I don't end up touching someone's smelly foot from trying to find Natsu. I did find him in the end, "Dragneel what's going on? Why did I suddenly get swarmed by everyone? And how come your not out there fighting?" "Are you kidding!? It's Godzilla vs. Ultra Godzilla!" I sweat drop at Natsu's own stupidity, "Idiot... That means this whole guild would've been destroyed by now!" "Don't worry Avery," Happy floats right next to me and assures me, "if Natsu's here then he can act as our human shield!" "Happy! Why you little-!" Natsu grabs his cat and starts to shake him like crazy, almost to the point where Happy was either turning into a darker shade of blue from the lack of air or lose his meal. I sigh in annoyance and glance to the side, "Humans are so annoying..."

Before Natsu could make any comment about what I said, a had suddenly dives in from above the table and grabs the back of my head. We sat there in dot silence until I was forcefully pulled out at the speed of light by the stranger who dared decided to put their grubby human hands on my, and the next thing I knew I ended up hanging in the air by my head like a lifeless doll. "We'll see who's right Erza! Let's see is little Avy here can tell the difference between these two cups! Winner will decide the fate of the loser!" it was Mirajane, out of all the people to do humiliate it had to be me. Erza, not wanting to lose to her rival, immediately agrees with her terms, "You're on!" I was placed (more like slammed) back onto my usual chair and then I was presented with two glass cups filled with the same yellow liquid Gray offered to me earlier to try. "What is this...?" I ask in annoyance, my eye brow twitching as I stare at the cups. "If you can tell me which one is lemonade and which one is not then you're free to go!" Mirajane offers to me kindly. I look at her then the cup. I know where this is going, by how evil and disgusting that demon is on the inside and out I can tell that she wants me to tell the difference between that limonaid thing (Me: Well atleast one letter was removed. XP) and piss.

A figure jumps up in the air and I heard it cry out, "Run away Avery! I'll take on the guard so you can escape!" My eyes began to sparkle a little in excitement when I realize who it was that attempted to save me, 'Natsu!' My respect for him went away when I watch Erza swiftly punch Natsu away before he even had the chance to lay a finger on the scarlet haired girl, causing him to crash into a nearby wall. "Hm~? What was that look you had in your eyes~?" demon girl asks me with a big evil Cheshire smile on her lips. Out of sheer impulse to hide the fact that I was blushing, I quickly grabbed one of the cups and took in all of the juice inside my mouth, but that doesn't mean I'll swallow the substance just yet. They all stare at me in shock at what I did. After a few seconds of waiting for a reaction from me, my face turned green. "It's piss!" one of them cries out. "Hurry up and spit it out! You'll get sick you if drink it!" Lisanna screams as she covers her eyes. Gray asks Mirajane in pure disgust, "How can you be so cruel!? I can't believe you were so low into actually putting your own pee in a cup!" That earned him a kick in the face. "I didn't put my own piss in it! It's not even piss! Just vinegar mixed with food coloring and water!" she yells, blushing in embarrassment at the situation at hand.

Natsu was the only one cheering, "Go Avery! You can do it!" "Aye sir!" Happy appears out of no where (Me: I almost forgot the cat!) and flies in closer to cheer for me. I couldn't take it anymore. I spewed it all out at Happy, but not only that I ended up using my dragon's roar on the cat by accident. "WAAAAH!" he cries as he is slammed into the very same wall exactly beside where Natsu was. Wild storm winds came out my mouth uncontrollably and started to destroy everything around me as I cried out, "It's gross! That's the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted in my life!" (A/N: Remember that OVA episode when Natsu and Gray saw Master Makorov butt naked in the pool? Exactly the same reaction except from what she drank!)

\\Later On/

Everything inside the guild was complete destroyed inside the guild, people and objects laying everywhere after the indoor storm finally dissipated. "It's gross... It's so gross...! I hate it!" I continued screaming my lungs off as I tried to take the disgusting taste off my tongue. "Avery calm down! It'll go away-" I interrupted Erza as I finished, "It's so sour!" "S-Sour?" Natsu stammers, finally lifting up a piece of words from ontop of him only for it to fall on Gray before he could get up. (Me: XD Words can't describe I feel about this right how!) "I thought I was going to puck all over place! And in the end... I did!" I cried out in shame and collapsed on my knees in shame. "It can't be that sour!" Happy takes a big huge gulp from the drink. As soon as he swallowed it, the once blue cat turns green and collapses to the ground. I quickly look at Gray with tears in my eyes, "And you wanted me to drink that crap! I hate you Fullbuster!" Gray, shocked at my sudden claims of hatred towards him, sits in a corner with a depressed aura surrounding his head muttering, "I was just trying to impress you..." Levy and Lisanna sweat drop, "How is that impressing her...?" "Gahahahaha! She hates you now Gray! Now I have a chance-" I interrupted Natsu by saying, "I hate you too! How could you do nothing and just cheer for me!? That's even lower compared to what he did to me!" Both boys stood side by side, depressed after hearing my harsh words aims directly at them.

"I can't take this anymore! I'm going home!"
"Wait Avery!"
"Don't follow me Dragneel!"

\\That evening/

"Hey oba-san! I'm here! You said you needed-" I was interrupted by a sudden whack to the back of my head by a gigantic broom stick. "Ow! What was that for!?" "You little human brat! Didn't anyone teach you not to waltz into someone's home without permission!?" Polyscua (Me: How do you even spell her name!?) scowls me as she picks up the remains broom, which showed exactly how hard she had hit me. "So? What is it you wanted from me?" I demand. I watch every move she made, walking towards her drawers and pulls out a small green jewelry box then walks back to me, a hesitant look in her eyes when she came up to me. I was starting to get impatient at her hesitance, "So? What is it you want?" She sighs then tells me, "Makarov told me to hand this to you since you always avoid him and many of the other guildmates. He said this is something you'd want, as a remembrance of the one thing you've held close to your heart." My eyes widen in shock, I know what she was talking about and as soon as it came into view I grab in from her hands and immediately rip it open, inside held a scale and it was not any ordinary scale it was a dragon scale. "He's been trying to give it to you but you always leave the guild whenever he arrives," she explains further on the story, but I wasn't even paying attention.

I closed the small box and hugged it close to my heart, tears spilling over as the familiar scent flows from the scale and into my nostrils, a scent that only I know and only I can smell unlike regular human beings. "Reisswind..." I utter silently. I heard shuffling infront of me, and when I looked up Polyscua had lowered herself down to my level. "You are still so young to say you hate something," she gazes at the window that's shining down on us, "humans are indeed annoying creatures. I am at the age where my decisions are absolute... You over time will come to change your view on them." I snap when she tells me this, "I shall never trust humans! You can't make me Polyscua! I always thought you were different since you also hate humans like me... but you're just like that old man! You just want me to get close to them so I can get hurt again!" Once again I was out running.

||Outskirts of Town||

"Stupid Polyscua... stupid humans... stupid Natsu!" I kicked every object insight to relieve every one of stress inside me body. It was working, but every time I calmed down their faces would appear in my mind again it sent me over the edge again and it would cause me to go wild and destroy every object in my path. If it was that stupid giant monkey that's been stalking my home then I send him flying into outer space or just beat the crap out of it till it passes out in defeat. "Why can't they just leave me alone!?" I cried out and punched the nearest tree with Storm Dragon's Claw. "GAAAAHH!" I hear it scream in pain. I tilt my head in confusion and decided to take a little peek inside the tree only to see Natsu and Happy collapsed on the ground with large bumps on their head. "The world is spinning..." Natsu says with swirls in his eyes. Happy said something completely off, "So many flying fish... I want to eat them..." A vein pops at the side of my head, "Why are you following me again...? And why did you bring your feline this time!?" Seeing that they weren't part of this world anymore I had two choices on what to do with these two idiots; 1) leave them for an animals next meal, or 2) bring them home with me and take care of them till they snap out of it then leave. I wanted to leave them but looking back at the boy I was reminded of Igneel and the debt I still want to repay, also it seemed to cruel to leave them out here alone and defenseless.

I look around to see if there was anyone nearby and sigh in annoyance, "You better thank me for this later..."

||My House||

As I wipe the sponge over his head Natsu soon starts to gain conciousness much to my relief. Now I have to wait for his cat to wake up. "Avery...?" Where...?" Before he had the chance to finish his sentence I shoved a piece of bread into his mouth, causing him to gag a little until he was able to properly eat the bread with ease. "Why do you keep on following me? I thought I already made it clear I didn't want to be close to any of you," I demand. He gulps nervously as he finishes eating his bread, "If I tell you... you're going to think I'm weird. You already think Gray is weird! And I don't want to be placed on the same level as that guy!" I had a serious look that said 'try me'. "We-Well I always noticed how lonely you are whenever you come to the guild... You never let anyone close to you so I had to follow you everywhere to keep a closer eye on you!" he explains to me with a huge blush forming on his face. I push on more to his reasons, "Why?"

"It's because..."
"Because...?"

Without realizing it, my face was inches away from his causing Natsu to completely turn as pink as his hair and back away a little. "Gah! N-Not so close Av!" I was caught off guard at the sudden nickname, "Av? Where'd that come from?" "Well your name is too long to remember! So I thought of a nickname for you," he glances down at his lap nervously, "is it weird...?" I don't know what to say. I bring someone in my home for the first time, take care of a human for the first time and now I got a nickname for the first time, just how many firsts will this boy take? I blush in realization at what I was doing and said to the boy, "D-Do what you like!" I stood up and walked up to my egg, right at the exact same moment when Happy wakes up with drool coming out of his mouth. "I just had a dream of a giant fried fish dancing with me! Now I smeel an actaul fish!" the blue cat says with drool coming out of his mouth. I sweat drop and point saying, "I have some left over friend fish on the counter. You can have it if your hungry." Without a minute to spare, a flash of blue passes by me and a long with the sound of loud crashes behind my back. I turn around as Natsu runs up to my side, we both fall to the side when we see Happy sitting on the counter surrounded by a pile of mess around him after crashing. "He sure has a big appetite," Natsu comments. I gave him a blank look, "Like father like son."

"He's not my son! Happy is more like a friend than a son!" he yells at me with stema coming out of his ears. "So what? He's your boyfriend or something?" I ask, clearly confused at the relationship between the two. I think I said something weird again cause Natsu suddenly turned pale after I said that out loud. "Do you even know what boyfriend mean!?" to ask me the most obvious question is like asking me if I ever went to school, again. "Of course! It's a special relationship between two male friends! Only a moron would think it's something like that %^&(#$ (me: pffft!) those perverts read," I tell Natsu and go back to doing what I was suppose to do earlier. I left Natsu completely dumbfounded and embarrassed after what he just heard, and I think after hearing my explaination it might've hit him hard when he realized the moron I was talking about was him and the new kind of book he just found out from me. Two moment later he asks me, "How the hell do you know about those kinds of things!? Aren't you the same age as me not to read those kinds of things!?" I was about to gp and wipe the egg until I heard THAT come out of his mouth. I swirl around yelling with a bright red face, "Who said I read those kinds!? I only found out about those by accident when I stumbled into that gigantic storage in the back! Some pervert decided to use fake book covers to hide them!"

"What did you do with them?" I didn't want to tell the boy but- "The fire you ate last week were the burning books," I blantly tell him. I think I saw him turn green but I'm not sure what color he was, Natsu suddenly just ran out of the door and I think he's puking his guts out right now, better not be fire or he'll be the one fixing the damage on my only home. I run my hands through my long orange har as I continue on with my business. It would take up too much time to try and kick these two out of my home, even though one practically did it for me after learning the truth. "Neh neh Avery~" Happy calls me over. I flash him an annoyed look, "What is it now? You looking for more fish?" "Is that an egg I see?" he asks me. I soon start to panic, if this cat tells the others about an egg that's possibly holding the same species of flying felines similar to this one than I am in deep trouble, and I do not what any humans walkng around my home freely. "I was actually gonna eat it later... I'm curious if it is your species. I wonder if cat tastes as good as they say," and with that Happy flies out through the hole above us scared shitless at what I just said. I dust my hands saying, "Now that that's done with I can finally catch some Z's! Today has really been tiring!" The nickname 'Av' echoes in my head, I feel like I was forgetting something here. I just shrug it off and decided to fly up to my hammock, no way in hell am I taking a bath now. "I wonder if tomorrow will be different...? I guess it would be nice for once to have a little company... that egg better hurrt up and hatch..." I wonder out loud before passing out out of exhaustion.

What I didn't know was that a certain dup had heard me and were making their way towards town, and that was the start where my life would change forever.
