Chapter 2: Growing up in the Guild
-First Person POV-
The days at Fairy Tail pass happily. Natsu and I form a team to do jobs together. After a little help from Erza, we're able to pick easy jobs. One day while Natsu and I are walking around in Magnolia Forest, two eggs drop in front of us. "Dragon eggs!" Natsu shouts. The eggs are huge, only a bit smaller than us, and have colorful streaks on them. Natsu grabs the one with blue streaks and I grab the one with green streaks. We decide to take them back to the guild. Once we're there, we show everyone the eggs.
Gray says that Natsu will probably eat the egg, enflaming Natsu to anger. After gently setting the egg down, Natsu launches himself at Gray. I look at Erza with pleading purple eyes. She stands up, walks over to Gray and Natsu, and knocks their heads together. Rubbing his head, Natsu comes back over to the egg and picks it up once more. Lisanna skips over to the two of us. "Why don't we go build a little home and spend time with the eggs there?" She asks. Natsu and I agree. We go to a field and make a small straw house. We sit down inside and wrap the eggs in blankets. "It's like you're the mommy and daddy and I'm the auntie!" Lisanna says, causing Natsu and me to blush.
After a few days, we return to the guild with the eggs. The atmosphere is tense when we come in because Mira and Erza are butting heads, glaring murderously at each other. Then to our surprise, the eggs hatch, revealing two little cats. Natsu's is a blue boy cat with a white belly. Mine is a green girl cat with a light blue belly. The cats sprout wings and fly around before landing on our heads. "I'm gonna call him Happy!" Natsu says. "Aye!" Happy squeaks. "I'll name her Mika." I say. The cats smile at their new names.
~A few years later~
Natsu, Lisanna, and I are still good friends. "Hey, (name)! Have you seen this article in the Sorcerer Weekly?" Someone calls to me. I twist on the bench to look at the speaker. A familiar young woman with pixie-styled white hair wearing a pink dress and brown boots approaches my table. "Lisanna, when did you get back from your job?" I ask. "A couple hours ago." Lisanna replies. "So, what about an article in the Sorcerer Weekly?" I ask. Lisanna opens the copy of the Sorcerer Weekly she has in her hand and then gives it to me. The article, which is only a small chunk, is entitled Dragon Maiden. A couple sentences catch my eye. "(name) Suija, a young Fairy Tail wizardess, tamed Salamander with a single punch, displaying power similar to that of the Fire Dragon Slayer. This Dragon Maiden is one of a few wizards that can subdue him." I read. I drop my head into my hands. "Great! Just what I need!" I groan. "At least there isn't a picture or description of you." Mika tells me. "I guess that's a small relief." I respond.
"Anyway… Since you're here, Lisanna, could you help me out with something?" I ask. "Let me guess. It has something to do with Happy and Natsu." Lisanna says. I nod. "Natsu and Happy got into a fight earlier. They're moping in Magnolia Park and they're refusing to talk to each other. They also refuse to talk to me." I explain. "Alright, let's go talk some sense into those two." Lisanna says. We find them right where I left them, sitting beneath the big tree in Magnolia Park.
"Fighting still?" I ask. Natsu and Happy look up at us. "Lisanna, you're back?" Natsu says. "Natsu was really mean! He ate all my fish!" Happy complains. Natsu grumbles something under his breath. "Sheesh… You're the dad, right? You're supposed to protect the mom and the kids, right?" Lisanna asks. "That's from forever ago…" Natsu mutters. "What are you talking about?" Happy and Mika ask. "Nothing!" Natsu and I tell them, but I can feel my cheeks burning and I see the blush on Natsu's face. "You're family, so there'll be times you clash. But nobody likes fighting. After all, Happy and Mika are your kids, right?" Lisanna continues, making Natsu and me blush even more. "She just said something crazy with a straight face!" Happy exclaims. Then Natsu and Happy return to squabbling about fish.
"Hey, Lisanna! Time to work, work!" Elfman, Lisanna's older brother, calls. Mirajane walks with him. "But didn't we just get back?" Lisanna says. "It's an S-class." Elfman tells Lisanna. "We're going as Nee-chan's backup." "T-That's not fair! What the heck!" Natsu exclaims, scrambling to his feet. "What kind of job is it?" Happy and Mika ask. "Emergency Subjugation. We're going to suppress the king of monsters, The Beast." Mirajane answers. "Natsu, (name), you wanna come along? It'll be good experience." "Seriously?" Elfman asks his older sister. "I object that idea. A man should protect his family by himself!" "Aw, don't be so selfish! Take me with you!" Natsu says. "Well, you better get going. I've heard about The Beast before. Hopefully it hasn't already cause too much damage." I say. "Now come on, Natsu. We need to do a job. I'll see you when you get back, Lisanna." "Okay!" Lisanna says enthusiastically. "Be careful!" I call back as I drag Natsu by the scarf back to the guild.
When the Strauss siblings return a few days later, Lisanna is not with them and tears stream down the faces of Elfman and Mira. Mira has a broken arm and Elfman is also injured. "What happened? Where's Lisanna?" Natsu asks. "She… She's gone." Mira says. A hush falls over the guild. I choke back the sob building in my throat and drop onto a nearby bench. We hold Lisanna's funeral a couple days later. I lean against Natsu's chest and cry while he rubs my back. Lisanna was like a sister to me.
