A/N
Hi there everyone, back again with another chapter of the story, and a little heads up this chapter will focus on Fairy tails next generation. Figured they needed some time in the spotlight since they will be Nashis friends soon. And a message to 17, thank you for the reviews and even more thank you for getting my stories more publicity. Hope you all are enjoying your summers and feel free to leave a review. Gets these out faster
P.S.
I threw in a reference to a very popular game in this chapter so shutout to whoever guesses the right game
Quite a bit had happened recently with Natsu's return to the guild after being absent for many years. As soon as he had reappeared he took a job with Lucy, who was no longer talking to him, he wanted to try and talk to her during the job but that didn't go so well after they were drugged and strapped to table for experimentation. Natsu quickly busted out and saved Lucy before they headed back to Magnolia thinking that this was over. Unfortunately for them, a small pink haired girl came through the guild doors with enough strength to send them flying. She also wore one of Natsu's vests and had a Fairy Tail guild mark on her right hand, and that brings us to today.
Where the entire guild is surrounded by the small girl who was still filling her stomach with food not really being able to talk "She certainly can eat quite a bit, I hope she wasn't starving for too long"
Mira looked at her worried but smiled seeing how much the girl loved eating her cooking. Lucy nodded agreeingly as she looked at the girl sitting across from her "Okay, now that you've had a bit to eat could you please tell us your name?"
"Food?" Asked the girl curiously as Lucy groaned having gotten that as a response for some time now "What are we supposed to call her if she won't say her name?"
Lucy asked the people surrounding them as Natsu smiled and shrugged "Lets just give her a name, maybe she doesn't have one. Ooh lets call her pink!"
"We are not naming her a color, you were never good with names, you named your cat Happy"
"Hey I've heard of kids named colors! Theres this one lady who named her son a color and he was successful, I think he was a professional bug catcher or something" As Natsu scratched his head thinking of a name Mira looked back and forth between the two bickering
"Hmm... Natsu... Lucy... Natcy? No... Natallie? No not that either... Nucy? Lusu?... Hmm... Ooh I got it!" Everyone looked at Mira as she smiled walking over to the small girl "Nashi!"
"What? Nashi? Where did you get Nashi from?" Natsu asked curisouly as Mira looked at the two of them
"By mixing your names, Natcy doesn't sound too good but if you replace the c sound with sh it sounds alot better. Nashi!"
Lucy thought it over in her head, and even though she didn't like her name being mixed with Natsu's it did have a ring to it "Nashi does sound nice, and its not like Natsu is coming up with anything better. You like that name? Nashi?"
The small girl looked at her confused but hearing that word made her smile and nod "Nashi! Nashi!"
"Well now that we got a name for her can we get down to how she sent the door flying and why she has a guild mark?" Gray asked as he looked at the small girl
Mira nodded taking a closer look at the red guild mark on her hand "That is strange, the guild stamp is kept under lock up and only brought out when we get new members. But I have heard of people being able to copy guildmarks onto other people"
"Why would a little girl who can't even seem to talk want our guild mark? And Gray has a point, how was she able to send the door flying?" Lucy looked at Nashi curiously but due to how many people now staring at her she got a bit nervous and slipped under the table attempting to hide.
She covered her face as Natsu and Lucy looked under the table at her "Hey how about some of you back off? You're scaring the kid!"
As Natsu looked at everyone they backed away as Lucy looked down at her and held out a hand showing a kind smile "Hey, no need to be afraid. No one is gonna hurt you, why don't you come out?"
Nashi looked at Lucy's hand for a second before grabbing it and gently being pulled out from under the table. Lucy sat her between Natsu and her finally able to get a good look at the girl who was just wearing Natsu's vest with her skin a bit dirty from not having taken a bath "Hey Mira do you have any of Shini's clothes here at the guild?"
Mira quickly nodded as she ran off to the back while Natsu began looking her over and sniffed Nashi "Huh... She doesn't really have a scent. That's weird"
"How is she even wearing your vest in the first place? Natsu do you really not know this girl?" Lucy asked curiously to which Natsu shook his head "Never seen her before in my life"
As Natsu and Lucy continued to argue over the vest and Nashi, the children of the guild were looked on curiously. "Who do you think the new girl is? I've never seen her before"
Asked Aoko, who was the son of Elfman and Evergreen, he was short boy with long white hair and blue eyes like his father "I don't know but looks pretty with that pink hair"
Responded a blue spiky haired boy with metal bands on his wrists and a headband in his head keeping his hair back. This was the son of Gajeel and Levy, Cooper Redfox. "I've never heard you call anything pretty before"
Mumbled a girl with dark blue hair and light blue eyes holding a small stuffed doll of a smiling rain drop, Aqua Fullbuster. They all sat up in their seats looking over the booth at the pink haired girl who had busted in through the guild doors
"What are we looking at?" Questioned Shini as she climbed up on the seats looking over the booth as well "The new girl, Cooper says she's he thinks shes pretty" Responded Aoko which caused Cooper to growl
"Oh yeah, well why dont we all go over and say hi? I'm sure shes nice" Shini smiled at them before looking at Nashi who was in between Lucy and Natsu arguing "Then again, never mind. Miss Lucy seems to be a bit mad right now"
"Who is that anyway? He's been hanging around the guild for a few days now, and he has our guild mark on his shoulder" Cooper questioned as he squinted at the mark
"I think I know who he is, I've seen pictures of him and daddy talks about a pink haired man who he used to beat all the time in fights" Mumbled Aqua as she jumped down walking upstairs being followed by her friends.
They avoided any adults on their walk up to the second floor where they carefully opened the door to Erzas office and poked their heads inside not finding anyone inside "Lets go, no ones in!"
Exclaimed Cooper which caused everyone to shush him, as they walked inside they spotted a large amount of paperwork on top of the desk along with a pair of glasses. Aqua walked over to the desk pulling on a drawer but to her surprise it didnt open "Its locked, what are we gonna do?"
"Leave it to me, I know exactly how to get it open" Cooper grinned as he looked at the lock but to everyone else they just groaned thinking he would bust open the lock. "Solid Script, Key"
As Cooper made a key pop out of thin air everyone let out a sigh of relief till they saw the door handle turn. Everyone froze in spot even with Aqua turning into a puddle as the door was pushed open "I knew it! You guys know you're not supposed be in moms office!"
A red haired boy just slightly taller then Cooper busted in through the door with his hair combed to the side, well looking clothes and a wooden sword strapped onto his back "I'm sorry but you're all coming with me to tell mom you broke into her office"
Everyone just stared at him with Aqua even turning back into her solid firm squeezing her stuffed rain drop. "Oh its just Nathan, alright drawers open Aqua"
"Thank you" Cooper pulled the drawer open for her as she reached in pulling out a large book
"Hey listen to me! I'm the guild masters son so you have to do what I say!" Nathan yelled at them only to see them crowed around Aqua as she opened the book "See! Here he is"
All the children including Nathan leaned in to get a closer look at what it was. It turned out to be a photo album with numerous photos inside. Aqua picked one up of Gray, Erza, Lucy, Happy, and the pink haired man all standing outside the guild smiling. She flipped it over finding some writing "Team Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Happy, and Natsu"
"Hey I've heard that name before, when Lily talks with Happy at the house they bring up a Natsu sometimes. I think he's a Dragon Slayer" Cooper looked at the photo along with the other kids thinking
"Well why haven't we seen him before? Alot of people in the guild seem to know about him, maybe we should go ask around" Nathan suggested which received a nod from everyone else but when they turned around to head out the door they all froze seeing Erza standing in the doorway with her arms crossed
There was complete silence in the room as no one dared to move except for Cooper who pointed at Nathan "He told us to come up here! I said we shouldn't but he made us! Said he was the guild masters son and everyone had to listen to him"
Nathan looked at his friend shocked as Erza stepped forward "Is this true everyone?"
The other kids quickly nodded not wanting to get in trouble as Nathan quickly shook his head "No its not!"
"Wether its true or not, you are all inside the guild masters office without permission and have invaded my privacy, time out for all of you" All of the children nodded scared of their guild master except for Cooper who scoffed
"I'm too old for time outs" As soon as he said this Erza glared at him causing him to quickly nod "Yes ma'am!"
They all ran out of the office to different corners of the guild not wanting to be in any more trouble. Erza however walked closer to her desk spotting the photo album and picked it up before sitting in her chair looking through it "Such simpler times... How the years just seemed to fly by, filled with tears, laughter, and cheers"
She smiled finding a photo of a very special day, one that brought a smile on everyone's faces. It was Natsu with his arm wrapped around Lucy with an enormous smile on his face as Lucy's hands were on her stomach. Back downstairs Lucy and Mira were in a back room with Nashi who was now wearing a gray sweater, sneakers, a pair of blue jeans, and a jacket around her waist to pull the look together "There we go, at least now she has some clothes on. Now only if she would talk"
Mira nodded in agreement as she looked at the time "Its already six o'clock, we should probably find her a place to stay. I dont think we'll find her parents today"
Lucy nodded letting out a sigh till her eyes widened and she looked back at Mira almost scared "Wait six?! Oh no I have to hurry, can you deal with Nashi? I really have to go"
Mira nodded watching as Lucy sprinted out to the room and out the guild to Natsu's surprise as he wanted to talk to her. He looked at the door to the back room as Mira walked out holding Nashis hand and walked up to him holding out his vest "Um, I wasnt too sure if you wanted this back, or the photo for that matter"
Natsu shrugged taking the vest and photo before looking down at Nashi in her new outfit "So did you two get anything out of her? And where did Lucy run off to in such a hurry?"
"We just got some new clothes on her, I'm starting to think that she really can't talk. And Lucy, I'm pretty sure she ran off to her date"
Mira picked up Nashi setting her on the counter not noticing as Natsu froze up, somehow feeling both sad and angry at the same time. If he could put it in one word, it would definitely be sangry. The Dragon Slayer quickly ran out of the guild hall leaving a confused Mira and Nashi standing there as Nashi watched him run off "Parents?"
Natsu quickly ran off following Lucy's scent which took him to the edge of town to a large two story house with a wooden sigh in front of it saying "Lucy and Happys house"
He looked up the dirt road to the front door where a man in a suit was standing there waiting. Natsu growled not sure of what he was gonna do but when he saw the door open he quickly jumped into some bushes hiding. He stayed hidden but peaked out seeing Lucy dressed up in a fancy red dress and make up on her face as the man held out his arm for her. Natsu quickly shook his head growling but quieted down when he saw her grab onto his arm before they walked down the dirt path into town
Not knowing that Natsu was hiding in a bush right beside them on the brink of crying and burning the bush he was hiding in at the same time
