Chapter Nine: She Has To Stay With Me?

"I know who she really is now, but does she still love me? It's been six years already. She must've met someone else right? I shouldn't … get my hopes up."

"So… the potion she drank made her turn into a five year old?" asked Natsu as he scratched his head. "Yeah," sighed Master Makarov. They then turned to the squealing five year old Lucy. Lucy was playing peek-a-boo with Mirajane. The Take Over mage was changing faces every time she opened her hands

Lucy was giggling playfully and clapped her hands. At first, she didn't know anybody, but got acquainted quickly. She then stopped laughing and came over to Natsu. She started hugging his legs. Natsu bent down to Lucy's level. She let go of his leg and asked, "W-What's your name?"

Natsu blushed at the little girl's beautiful smile. 'Wait, what the hell? Am I blushing? A frickin' five year old is making me blush?' he thought. Realizing that Lucy was waiting for a reply, he quickly said, "My name is Natsu."

The little girl smiled a toothy grin and Natsu noticed that she one of her teeth was missing. Lucy then attempted to say his name, "Nat-choo, Nat-choo," she said. She then frowned. Natsu was chuckling and said, "Ah, it's okay if you jut call me Nat-choo, Luce." Lucy's frown turned into a big smile as she opened her arms wide.

Getting the message, Natsu picked Lucy up and started carrying her. He started making airplane noises and flew Lucy around; occasionally throwing her up into the air. 'Awww, Natsu is such a fatherly figure,' thought the guild members. However, their opinion soon changed as Natsu threw Lucy up into the air, but failed to catch her.

Everyone realized that Lucy was about to fall and shuffled to try to catch her. They ended up tripping on each other. Then Lucy landed with a soft thump and someone's stomach. Someone's naked stomach, that is. Everyone looked up to see Lucy sitting on… Gray's back.

Gray groaned and gently pushed Lucy off of his stomach before sitting up. His eyes widened as he looked at the little girl. "Lucy?" questioned Gray. Lucy turned around to face Gray and her face lit up immediately.

"Gurey-nii? You got a lot bigger!" asked Lucy as she hugged him. Natsu watched Lucy hug the stripper and his heart immediately clenched. 'Wait, what is wrong with me? Damn heart, she's just hugging him; nothing more than that. Stop overreacting.' Gray looked at the five year old Lucy and said, "And you got a lot smaller. You lost your… assets."

Everyone sweat dropped at Gray. Then, Evergreen suddenly spoke up. "How do you know Gray-kun, Lucy-chan?" Everyone nodded their head; they wondered the reason why Lucy only recognized Gray. Gray gave a 'Because-I'm-awesome' look. Natsu's vein popped and would've punched him if Mira didn't stop him.

"That's because Gurey is my onii-chan!" said Lucy, her voice filled with glee. Everyone's jaw dropped. Gray just nodded and said, "Well, her parents are my adoptive parents…" Then suddenly, a blue-haired girl burst in and started shouting, "GRAY-SAMA! WHERE ARE YOU? DON'T LEAVE JUVIA BEHIND!" Gray's face showed pure horror went to hide behind the counter.

However, the bluenette caught him and pulled him into a tight hug. Everyone sweat dropped as they saw Gray struggling for air. "J-Juvia…" wheezed Gray. The girl named Juvia let go and stared at Lucy. "L-Love rival-desu," whispered Juvia. Everyone double sweat dropped at Juvia's extreme jealousy. How could she be jealous of a five year old?

They all pushed that aside for a moment. Natsu then spoke up, "But who is she going to stay with? I mean, she can't live by herself…" They all nodded in agreement. There was a pause for awhile, and suddenly, a light bulb went off. They all pointed to a certain someone… Natsu.

Natsu looked shocked and screamed, "WHAT? YOU WANT ME TO TAKE CARE OF HER? HELL NO! WHY NOT GRAY? HE'S HER BROTHER!" Before Natsu was allowed to continue, Gray covered his mouth. "Natsu, don't curse in front of Lucy. She's five," whispered Gray. Mira nodded and said, "That's right, Natsu. We can't leave her with Gray. What if she starts randomly stripping? She's a girl! We can't have that."

Natsu sweat dropped and reluctantly agreed. He scooped Lucy up in his arms and left; heading to his house. Everyone waved goodbye to the tiny Lucy and went back to work. Natsu sighed opened the door to his house. Lucy looked worried and said, "Are you okay, Nat-choo?" Natsu paused for a moment and put on a grin. "Of course!" he replied.

Lucy smiled brightly and soon fell asleep. Natsu chuckled softly and laid her under the bed covers. Natsu yawned and got in with her, falling asleep in a short amount of time. However, before he fell asleep, he murmured a quiet, "Goodnight." Natsu then closed his eyes and didn't notice a smile creep its way onto Lucy's face.
