Chapter 7: Letter to the Connells
Dear Alzack and Bisca Connell,
I am still so proud that you guys finally were able to tell each other about how you feel for each other. And because of this you guys were able to bring new life into this world. Which is the greatest form of magic, make sure that you guys protect Asuka but I don't need to tell you guys that now do I. So I was going to go to the gun store and have them inspect these three guns that I found on my last quest before the exams, to see if they were any good at all or worth anything at all. But it seems like I won't be able to do that so I decided to give them to you two, I hope they aren't just pieces of junk, if so don't feel bad about throwing them out or selling them. Even if they are good feel free to do whatever with them because you two will definitely be putting them to better use then their previous owners, no good filthy bandits.
Oh and the last thing that I wanted to give to you two is actually for Asuka as long as you are okay with it that is. Well you see on one of those days that I was watching her for you guys, we were walking around town when she saw this pink pistol in the display window of the store and Asuka got really excited talking to me about it and how she wished she could get one for her birthday. So of course you guys know that sad pouting face that she can do, well it was on her face for the briefest second when she said that she knew that she couldn't get one because it was too expensive, but then she turned back smiling to me saying that it was okay as long as she had her mama and papa. You two have such an amazing daughter, I just wanted to let you guys know that. So I decided that later that day I would go back and buy it for her, to give to her on her birthday after I cleared it with you guys of course. But it looks like I might not be around for her birthday. Which I am sorry about and was wondering if it would still be okay if I did and maybe visited from time to time. Oh yea I actually bought her two of the same pistols because I didn't know if she wanted to be like her daddy, they are both still in the box with their own holsters, so you could return them if you want. But I do have to say that these are pretty nifty guns, when Asuka was telling me about them, she told me that you can change the color of them if you want, and that they had some sort of new technology that I didn't understand in them that apparently she did. That allows someone to put their magic into it, which would then allow someone like her to be able to shoot bullets with that magic property, which sounds totally badass.
She also said that they are able to have five different types of magic stored in them. So when I bought these for her I decided to put some of my fire dragon slayer magic into them, while also putting my lightning fire dragon slayer magic in there as well. I also decided to have the Fairy Tail emblem engraved on to the handles, while also having one of the guns emblem look like it was made out of fire while the other ones emblem looks like it is made out of lightning. This brings me to the final thing that I had done to the guns, which was engraving the names of the guns onto the sides of the gun. I heard somewhere that all good weapons need to have names so I named them scorch and shock, but tell her if you do give them to her to feel free to rename them, which the guy at the store said that he would re-engrave them for no additional charge. Oh and in the envelope there is an additional 500 thousand jewels for your family, because I can only imagine how hard it is.
Well I hope to see your family sometime in the near future as long as it is okay with you guys.
Natsu Dragneel.
PS. I almost forgot to put this medallion in the envelope; once again I wanted to give this to Asuka as well. It is a special medallion that I had made with a little bit of my magic put into it, and if she or whoever is wearing it focuses on it when they really need my help, it will let me know that they are in trouble and give me the rough area of where they are at. And I will get there as fast as I can.
Alzack and Bisca were stunned and didn't know what to say, as they looked at the medallion and jewels in the envelope. This was all just too much, especially if Natsu bought two of the guns that they were thinking that he did due to his vivid explanation of the guns abilities, because those guns just standard costed 500 thousand jewels apiece. And it sounded like he had them custom made for Asuka adding on to them the special engravings, but what would make them worth ten times as much was due to the fact that Natsu put his own magic into them, which is completely one of a kind. Both Bisca and Alzack looked at each other and thought the same thing, of course Natsu would always be welcomed at their house no matter what, even if he was no longer a member of Fairy Tail, while both deciding also that they were going to be definitely giving the guns and medallion to Asuka. Right away as an early birthday present to her from her uncle Natsu, to hopefully lesson the blow of Natsu leaving.
"How could Natsu be such an idiot? Thinking that we might not want to see him again!" said Bisca to Alzack while now crying onto his shoulder.
"It's just who he is, always thinking of someone else's needs and wants before his own." replied Alzack trying to calm down his wife. This of course was still very confusing to little Asuka as she stared up at her parents.
"Daddy what did mommy mean about uncle Natsu being an idiot and us not wanting to see him again?" questioned Asuka now staring directly at her papa.
"Well in the note darling that uncle Natsu left for Mommy and Daddy, he said how much he loved being with you. But since he left the guild he didn't know if we would want to see him anymore or even let you see him anymore." responded Alzack to his daughters question.
"You guys will let me see him again won't you?" asked Asuka sounding a little scared at the prospect of not ever seeing her uncle Natsu ever again, while you could also see the panic now in her eyes.
This caused Bisca to quickly kneel down and hug her daughter saying "Shhh Asuka, of course we would never stop you from seeing uncle Natsu, which is why I called him an idiot." while also stroking her back.
"But he will come back to Fairy Tail right?" asked Asuka, hoping that her parents would tell her that of course Natsu would come back to Fairy Tail.
"Sorry baby girl," replied Alzack, "but that is something that I can't answer, you will have to ask him the next time you see him." now also kneeling down to his daughters height.
"Okay, but when will that be?" asked Asuka now a little teary eyed.
"I don't know honey, it did sound like he wanted to come to your birthday, but maybe you will see him sooner." replied Alzack as he was now patting her on the head.
"But Natsu did leave you, me, and mommy some gifts before he left, this medallion is his first gift for you sweaty." said Alzack while pulling the medallion out of the envelope. Which could now be seen as a dragons head with its mouth spread open like it was roaring, and inside of it was a small gem that looked like it had flames in it, which it probably did considering who it came from. The dragon head looked like it was made out of silver, but that might have been what it was just supposed to look like. It also had a little note stuck to it saying, I know how much fashion matters to girls so I made this medallion especially for Asuka, It can change colors too.
As Alzack was putting it on to his daughter, she asked "What does uncle Natsu mean by it can change colors too?"
"Well Asuka this medallion is not just a normal medallion uncle Natsu made it so that if you were ever in any trouble and me and daddy couldn't help you. All you have to do is think about uncle Natsu really hard and he will come to you as fast as he can. It can also apparently change its color to if you put a little bit of magic into it while thinking about what color you want it to be." said Bisca being a little proud of how she summed up what the medallion could do.
"But that doesn't explain what he meant by too?" questioned Asuka.
"As sharp as ever my little girl, for that we will have to go to the bar and get the money that he gave each of us and the other gifts as well." replied Alzack.
This of course got Asuka to get really excited and run to the bar were Master Makarov was handing out money to the other guild members as fast as her little legs could take her. Once she got there Master let out a little chuckle to himself, seeing at how excited she was and then gave her, her share of the money. But this only caused the little girl to look disappointed, which confused Makarov.
"What's the matter Asuka?" asked the old little Master.
"This wasn't what I was thinking I was going to get from uncle Natsu." replied Asuka even looking sadder now.
"What do you mean?" asked Makarov.
"Well mama and papa said that uncle Natsu left us some gifts and that the one for me could change colors, like this necklace that he gave me." said the little girl now playing with her necklace with her little fingers.
"Oh so that is what got you down." said the Master while chuckling out loud. "Well it is probably one of the things that are on the bar." while motioning to all of the things on the bar to the left of him.
"But which one is supposed to be mine?" asked Asuka now looking at all of the different objects on the bar.
"You will have to look for yourself, or wait until one of your parents come here and show you which one." replied the old man to Asuka.
She really didn't want to wait for her parents so she started the search on her own. There was a few scrolls, some books, three little chests, a black sword and sheath, a sniper rifle and two pistols, which got her really excited about and hoped that they were for her, a few other things that didn't interest her like a green back pack that looked an awfully like what Happy is always wearing. She finally got to the last thing which was some sort of wrapped up present with a card on it. The card read,
To Asuka,
Happy birthday, I can't wait until we get to hang out again. And when we do I hope we can try out the present I got you. Hope you enjoy them.
From Uncle Natsu,
And Happy
PS. I can't let Happy mooch onto this gift, he doesn't even know what is inside, he just wrote and Happy.
Well hope you have a great birthday Asuka.
This caused Asuka to grab the present and start jumping up and down excitedly; she then turned to her parents who just got through the line to get money from Natsu and were heading her way. She quickly asked them quite loudly "Mommy, Daddy can I open the present from Uncle Natsu?" still bouncing around like a bundle of joy.
"I don't know sweat heart, it does clearly say it's for your birthday." said Bisca slightly smiling at how excited her daughter is right now, compared to how she was earlier.
"But that is in like forever!" complained Asuka.
"Well how about this, if you are able to pick out the gifts that uncle Natsu left for me and mommy, then you can open it up, but if you can't then you have to wait for your birthday. How's that sound honey?" asked Alzack, while smiling at his little girl.
Asuka stood there for a few seconds thinking, and came to the decision that there was no harm in trying. "Alright you're on daddy." declared Asuka with the clear intentions of winning and then being able to open up her present.
"Okay honey, what is your first pick?" asked Alzack.
Asuka looked back over all of the items on the bar one more time, just to make sure that she didn't miss anything. She then looked at her parents with huge grin that could almost rival Natsu's grin, and said. "Well the sniper rifle and two pistols silly, uncle Natsu knows that those are the choice weapons of you and mommy." she said with her huge grin still on her face.
"I was right wasn't I daddy, wasn't I?" asked Asuka being very confident with herself right now.
"Yes you were, which means you can open it." responded Alzack as he went over to collect their new guns.
When grabbed them he noticed that these guns were actually the guns that he and Bisca were thinking about upgrading to, when they had enough money. This made him really wonder if Natsu actually got them from some bandits, because they were still in pristine condition, and happened to be the exact ones that he and Bisca were going to get. But he didn't get much more time to think about it because his daughter was now ripping into her present.
As soon as Asuka got the wrapping paper off she couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't just get the gun of her dreams but she got two of them, she got two of the best guns being made, she got two Stingers that she could now call her very own. As she looked at the two guns, with the metal being a pink color that resembled Natsu's hair and the grips on the handle being pure white with the Fairy Tail emblem in the middle of it. One of the emblems looked like it was on fire and saw that on the side the barrel was engraved the word SCORCH, while the other guns emblem looked like it had lightning going all over it, and in the same place that other one had scorch engraved, this one had SPARK. She was instantly in love with these guns and decided that she was never going to go anywhere without them. She then looked up at her parents and started to cry.
"Hey honey what's the matter, I thought that you were going to love your gift from uncle Natsu?" asked Bisca.
"That's the problem mommy they are the best gifts I could have ever gotten, but now I can't even thank uncle Natsu for them." she said while crying her little eyes out.
"Hey darling, it's not like you are never going to see Natsu again, and when you see him the next time you can make sure to tell him how much you loved his gift." replied Alzack trying to calm down his daughter.
"And guess what Asuka, there is still more to his gift." said Alzack with a smile on his face, while looking at his daughter.
"Really, what else is there?" asked Asuka now looking confused.
"Well Asuka, he decided that he was going to put both his fire dragon slayer magic and lighting fire dragon slayer magic into both of them, which means that you will always have uncle Natsu with you. It also makes those guns that you have extremely rare because this is the first time I have ever heard of any dragon slayer magic being put into a gun, which could also mean that those two guns have untold power behind them. And when considering who put the magic in them it is very likely that they might be the strongest guns out there." said Alzack with the biggest smile on his face.
While a few of the guild members that happened to hear this last part, could only think oh dear god, Natsu what have you done, you gave some of your powers to a little girl. This is the end, were so done for, oh no I am going to lose so much money, and other things along those lines.
Alzack continued on with his explanation to his daughter, "You know that this means you are going to have to be extra careful with them, and practice every day with either mommy or daddy, right?"
"Yes daddy I will do whatever I need to do, to keep these guns!" she declared to her father while hugging the guns that were still in the box to her chest.
"Good to hear also that means that each gun can only have three more different types of magic put into them. Oh and he also said in the letter that if you want to change their names, feel free to, it won't hurt his feelings." said Alzack.
"Nope, don't need to the names are already perfect." said Asuka, while she was trying to get the guns out of their boxes.
"Here, let us help." said Bisca taking one of the boxes and starting to open it while Alzack got to work on the other one.
"Thanks mommy and daddy!" chirped Asuka, waiting for them to give her the guns once they are no longer in the box.
"So do you have any ideas, about what other types of magic you want to put into these guns honey?" asked Alzack while almost having it completely ready to give to his daughter.
"Nope, haven't thought of that, I am just so happy to have uncle Natsu's magic!" cheered Asuka. Once again reminding a few of other members that Asuka soon might have the same destructive powers as the great Salamander and all she needed to do was pull a trigger. This of course caused a few of them to become quite nervous.
"Although those are going to probably be your strongest, you might want something not as explosive or lethal. Like sleep magic, or even lightning magic can stun people, and if you don't want either of those ice can come in very handy being able to freeze little areas at a time." said Bisca trying to get her daughter to start thinking of how useful those other magic types would be to have in her guns.
"Hhhhmm." thought the little girl wondering what else she could do with her new guns.
"I think I want all those, but would I be able to have healing magic put in?" asked Asuka looking into her mother's eyes.
"Logically speaking there is no reason you can't, but if you did you are going to have to be extra careful when using it. You don't want hurt yourself or someone else more, when you were only trying to help them." responded Bisca, being very impressed that her daughter thought of that by herself.
"I also think I know what the other two are going to be mommy!" yelled Asuka.
"And what would those two be?" asked Bisca, becoming quite curious of what her daughter picked.
With a huge grin on her face she replied "Air dragon slayer and Lightning dragon slayer magic of course!"
This caused Bisca to start sweating, thinking that it would be way too much for her little girl to have at her disposal. "Well you will only be able to do that if Wendy and Laxus agree to it." said Bisca, somewhat hoping that they would both turn Asuka down.
"No problem!" grinned Asuka up at her mother.
Oh no she might actually be able to get them to do that for her, people really have a hard time saying no to her, thought Bisca. I mean look at what Natsu gave her and she didn't even ask for it.
But just then Alzack finished getting all of the stuff out and the garbage thrown away and was now twirling around SCORCH in his hand. "Hey, Honey could you toss me the other one?" he asked looking at Bisca. She tossed over SPARK, which he effortlessly caught and started to twirl in his other hand. He then thought that he had a brilliant idea and focused some magic into each of the guns causing them to change color. Once he did the pink part of both guns had changed to a different color, SCORCH was now read, while SPARK turned yellow.
"Here you go sweaty, now they are colored after their names." Alzack said while going to go give them to his daughter.
"No change them back, right now!" shouted Asuka at her father.
"Sorry will do sweaty, I didn't know you liked pink that much." inquired Alzack to his daughter, as he changed the guns back and handed them to his little girl.
"It's not pink, it's salmon." declared Asuka as if it was plain as day. "And could you also change my necklace to salmon as well, please daddy."
"What am I going to do with you?" said Alzack as he changed her medallions color to pink.
"Simple!" responded Asuka "You are going to teach me to be the best marksman and gunslinger in all of Earth land!" declared Asuka with a new found determination.
"That is a very lofty goal you have set for yourself, sweat heart." said Bisca looking at her own daughter wondering where she got this new determination from.
"No it isn't, it is just what something that uncle Natsu would say and do if he was in my shoes, which means it is something I can, and will do! And while I am doing that I will be able to show just how strong I have become to uncle Natsu. And the first step to doing that is going to get those other types of magic put into these guns!" she declared to pretty much the whole guild. Then hopped off of her stool and took off to ask certain guild members if they would put a little bit of their magic into her new guns.
Well Bisca thought with determination like that there is no way she won't get the magic she wants.
While a few more guild members had the thought that they just got a new Natsu, she is showing his same determination and drive, while also declaring that her pink guns were not pink but salmon. This of course, was only because Asuka looked up to Natsu so much, and saw him declaring the same thing about his pink hair and wanted to be just like him and now with these new guns she could. But this of course caused a few guild members to chuckle and think, even though they just learned that Natsu left the guild, it seemed like he would always be affecting the guild in some way shape or form. And if some of the guild members had their way Natsu would be back with them by the end of the week, where they believed that he belonged, at Fairy Tail.
End of Chapter
Author's Notes
Well I can tell you right now, this one got a lot longer than I initially planned. But what can I say I am a sucker for Natsu being great with kids and I also enjoy some fluff every once in a while. Also for some reason I imagine Natsu having a ton of money and just not really caring about it, and if he did ever leave the guild he would just give it all away. I also have a question to you readers, but am I the only one who loves it whenever in fairy tail they go to when they were kids, I mean come on that shit is great and I want more of it and they all look so adorable. So thanks again for reading and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. So feel free to give me a review, which can be just you answering these last few question I asked in the author's note part. And like I said before if someone could give me cover art for this story that would be great.
Until next Chapter
Digem out!
