The Dragon's Daughter
Welcoming Gilly
Nashi could feel the warm breath of the white cat with a blue paw and tail. His long whiskers tickled her nose, nearly causing her to sneeze. All around the room: Wendy, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Carla and Mirajane watched in joy as the small new-born kitten rested peacefully on top of Nashi's head.
"Natsu, it's just like when Happy was first born, remember?" Mirajane commented.
"Oh, yeah." Natsu realized. "The first thing Happy did was land on my head after shouting, 'Aye!'"
"So, Happy, Carla, what are you going to name him?" Wendy asked curiously.
"It's obvious." Happy said, much to Carla's surprise.
"It is?" She asked.
"Yeah." Happy stated. "Happy Jr."
Carla, Wendy and Lucy could feel the giant sweatdrop fall down the back of their heads. Natsu attempted to think of a name and Mirajane quietly smiled and kept to herself.
"We're not naming him Happy Jr." Carla said.
"How about Igneel?" Natsu suggested.
"Natsu, shhh." Lucy whispered.
"I know how about Gilly." Nashi suggested.
"Gilly?" Everyone questioned at the same time.
"Don't you mean silly, sweety?" Lucy asked.
Nashi shook her head. "Gilly would work because he looks silly like Uncle Happy yet Glamorous like Aunt Carla."
"Well if you say so." Carla said embarrassed while posing.
"I think she's enjoying to compliment too much." Wendy sighed. "Erza must've rubbed off on her."
"Then that settles it." Carla said, slamming her paw into her open paw. "His name will be Gilly."
Gilly slowly opened up his eyes and before he could say something, a large hunk of drool formed on the side of his mouth and fell onto Nashi's shoes. Natsu and Lucy didn't know what to say, neither did Wendy or Carla. Nashi simply laughed and patted the top of the kitten's head.
"He must be thinking of fish." Happy proudly said.
"Wat...er...me….lon." Gilly said drooling.
"Did he just say, watermelon?" Lucy asked.
"His first words weren't fish?!" Happy exclaimed.
"But how did he know watermelon?" Carla wondered.
Lucy turned her attention to a guilty looking Natsu and Happy who were whispering while twiddling their thumbs. Both of their faces were ready and sweaty.
"Natsu. Happy." Lucy said, eyeing the two curiously.
"Okay you caught us." Natsu surrendered.
"That was fast!" Wendy exclaimed.
"What did you do?" Lucy asked.
"Well." Natsu said, thinking back a few weeks ago.
"Hey Happy." Natsu whispered to his blue companion.
"Yeah, Natsu?" Happy whispered back.
"Watch this." Natsu said as he leaned in close to the Exceeds egg with blue and pink confetti. "Watermelon."
Natsu began to giggle, much to Happy's confusion.
"I heard that the baby can hear and remember what people say while still in the process of being made." Natsu giggled.
"Oh." Happy said. "Let me try...Watermelon."
"Natsu, sometimes I just wanna…"Lucy began to say but couldn't finish.
"What it's not like anything bad will happen." Natsu said.
"Where did Gilly go?" Carla asked.
Nashi felt above her head to find no Gilly. She then shrugged her shoulders, causing Carla to panic.
"Gilly!" She yelled frantically.
"Carla, look." Wendy pointed.
Everyone looked to see Mirajane offering Gilly some watermelon; which he happily consumed.
"Aye!" He happily shouted.
Happy's eyes began to tear, much to Carla's annoyance.
"I was afraid of that happening." She said.
"Mommy, you said that already." Gilly said.
"What do you mean?" Carla asked.
"Carla, is it possible he can see into the future like you?" Wendy asked.
"It's not unlikely." Carla pondered at the question.
"You said that already as well." Gilly said.
"My boy is already speaking in complete sentences." Happy cried. "And he said Aye! He really is like me."
"And me too, don't you forget." Carla said.
"So Nashi." Happy said to the girl.
"Yeah?"
"Would you like Gilly to be your companion? After all I have Natsu, Carla has Wendy and Lily has Gajeel."
"Really?" Nashi's eyes brighten.
Happy nodded his head, as did Carla. Nashi immediately picked them up in a tight hug. Both began to gasp for air as Gilly flew over and plopped on top of her head with a smile on his face.
"It seems you got a new friend, Nashi." Lucy smiled.
"Let's be friends forever, Gilly." Nashi happily said as the kitten yawned before falling asleep on her head.
I know, I know, I'm a terrible person for making this chapter short. But in my defense, the other chapters won't make sense unless this one happened. Don't worry though, I'll be sure to make the next ones just as long as the previous so stay tuned for the next chapter. Heiwa!
