"Then I was Gray's TWIN BROTHER," said Natsu proud and loudly. Ultear, Lyon, and many other members in the guild stared at him in disbelief. Master Makarov, Lucy, and Erza had their jaw dropped on Natsu's antics.
"NANIIIII ?" growled Gray.

Chapter 2 : Eleven years ago
"Wait a minute! What is happening in here now ? I don't really understand. First, Ultear and Lyon came and claimed Gray as their brother. Then why Natsu suddenly said that he was Gray's brother too, moreover twins? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" asked Lucy. Erza nodded her head in agreement, "Is it true, Gray? I don't know if you two are twins."
"Natsu never told me anything too~" said Happy.
Gray looked at the two girls beside him with disbelief. "Are you two that stupid for believing those ash brain? Just by looking at our face it is obvious that we're not brothers let alone twins." Then he looked at the salamander in front of him with a glare, "What do you mean by twins? Are you trying to play some joke in here? Or are you trying to provoke me for another fight?"
"Huh? Me? Playing a joke? You're the one who said that I was your twin back then," replied Natsu.
"EEEHH!" Everyone have their shocked expression.
"What? I am not remember saying those things before," said Gray. He was a little bit surprised at what Natsu said. Is it true that Natsu not playing a joke right now ?
"Eleven years ago? Don't you remember anything?" asked Natsu with a tint of hope in his tone but his face fell as soon as Gray shooked his head. The pink haired boy sighed. "Nevermind. That's not important afterall." Said Natsu grinning widely. He turned his back to others and whispered,"And I've come to the guild with a high spirit to celebrate it with you." No one can hear what he said, except a short white hair girl who stood not too far from him.
"Geez, you just one attention like always huh, Natsu!" said Ultear. The others nodded their heads and back to their activity before the brother attacks happened. Everyone was exciting to celebrate their ice mage's birthday today because it means a party. And when there is a party, there are more alcohol to consume.
But those excitement was not perceived by the three mages who still stay where they are. Gray was thinking about what Natsu said to him before. Eleven years ago? What happened? Not too far from him Natsu sat on the chair and looked at everyone who was planning the party. Somehow his face indicate a sadness.
Behind Natsu, Lisanna stood and watch the two different mages in their silent act. She knows that Natsu not feeling okay about Gray forgot everything that he said eleven years ago. Yes, Lisanna was there too eleven years ago. She really wants to comfort Natsu, but she isn't sure Natsu needed her right now. Afterall, she isn't sure anymore if Natsu still regard her as his bestfriend or just another guild member. Lisanna feels that she already dead in Natsu's eyes and never comeback to his side again.
Lisanna sighed. At least I should talk to Gray and remind him about it. This is what I can do to cheer up Natsu. Lisanna walked and approached Gray. "Hey Gray, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Huh? Of course, Lisanna."
Lisanna sat accross Gray and ready to start the conversation. "Are you really not remember anything from eleven years ago?" Gray lifted up his face and looked at the girl. "Seriously, I don't. Wait, do you know what happened back then?" Lisanna nodded her head. "Well, I must remind you that day was the day when I believed that you two are bestfriend," said Lisanna with a smile remembering that day.
Flashback
"Hey ice block, what are you doing in here?" asked little Natsu with a grin in his face. He approached little Gray who stood alone below the Sakura tree. "Please don't contaminate this area with your ugly habit, stripper!"
"Oh look who's talking! This park is not yours!" growled Gray.
"It is mine." Silence immediately.
"Stupid!"
"What did you say?" yelled Natsu.
"Ara-ara, you two are fighting again. Don't you tired fighting like this everyday?"asked a girl with a bowl haired cut smiling brightly to the two of them. "Lisanna!" Both of the boys called her name.
"Well, maybe you can stop the fight for a moment. Afterall today is Gray's special day, no?" said Lisanna.
"Special day?" asked the two boys. Lisanna nodded her head. "Oh you must forget about it, Gray. Master told me that today was your birthday so Mira-nee help me to bake this cake for you," added the little girl. She thrusts the cake with eight number decorate the top.
"Eh, I forgot that today is my birthday. You don't need to bother yourself, Lisanna. But thank you," said Gray with a shyness in his little voice. Lisanna smiled at his friend. "Your welcome. Ah I forgot to bring the lighter. Maybe you can help me here, Natsu." Lisanna looked at her side and found Natsu stared in amazement to the cake she and Mira made.
"Birthday? Do birthday must have a cake? If I have a birthday can I get a cake everyday?" said Natsu excited. Lisanna and Gray stared at him weirdly. "Erm Natsu.. a birthday just happened once in a year. It is a very special day in our life every year because in this day we found ourself as the happiest person in the world so we must celebrate it. And that means with a cake," pointed Lisanna.
"Hooooohh.." said Natsu still in his excited expression. Seeing this, Lisanna couldn't help but asked, "So Natsu, when will your birthday? Maybe I can prepare a cake for you too."
"Hmmmm," Natsu tried to think but suddenly his face fell. He whispered, "I don't know."
"Eh you don't know?" asked Lisanna and Gray together. "Then all of the year how can you celebrate it?" asked Gray in disbelief.
"I never celebrate it. Igneel didn't know too.I didn't even know what it's like to celebrate a birthday."
"Natsu.." whispered Lisanna. She pitied the boy because all of his life he never knew about his special day. She looked at the little pink haired boy and saw a very sad expression in his face for the first time.
"Well, I will tell you what it's like then. Let's celebrate it together!" said Gray out of the blue. Opposite from Natsu, he wore his smile in his stoic little face. From what Lisanna knows, this is the first time she saw Gray smile like that.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Natsu.
"We celebrate it together. The birthday. Think of it as we are in the same age. Well, heck it is we are indeed in the same age! So, you can blow out the candle with me, but first you have to turn it on with your fire," explained Gray.
"REALLY?!" yelled Natsu jumping in delight. His happy face was back again.
"Uh huh.."
"Yeay. I have a birthday today. Lisanna, I have a birthday today !" yelled Natsu again.
"Really, Natsu? I'm happy for you.." said Lisanna. She couldn't help but jumping along with Natsu in delight. She gave Gray her gratitude smile for making the little dragon slayer this happy. From here she knows that despite their constant brawling with each other, they already made a very strong friendship inside that people can't see it with their naked eyes.
"Yeayy !" Natsu and Lisanna still jumping with happiness in their eyes. Gray just stood there motionless watching the two. When they already done, Natsu turn the light on and after saying their wishes, the two boys blew up the candle.
"Do you know that you two are like twins? Your birthday's on the same day and time," said Lisanna excited. "Lisanna, don't give him a ridiculous idea. You know how naive he is. He could see me as.."
"TWINSSSSSSSS ! Yeay we are twins!" Before Gray could finish his statement, Natsu already yelled what he really affraid the later would do.
"I told you so!" said Gray annoyed. Lisanna giggled after seeing the two boys contrast reaction. "That's cute!"
"It's not!"
"Yeay, yeay. Igneel can you hear it? I have a birthday and twin!" yelled Natsu to the sky.
"Congratulation, Natsu."
"LISANNA!"
