Chapter 14

A/N: Thank you all for reviews! Sorry it took me long time to update and the chapter is not big. But I will try to update on weekend again.

Natsu and Lucy came to a huge estate. The girl didn't have time to look around the surroundings, because Dragneel ran to the house immediately. She could barely keep up with him when he was running through corridors. At last, the guy walked into a room. The room reminded Lucy her own childhood room: there were pink wallpapers with colorful butterflies on them, lots of toys, a table for tea party with toys, doll house and the princess bed, with lots of pink and white pillows, a large blanket and ... a little girl under it. She had cute face framed by blue hair and looked like five or six years old. The small girl clutched white kitten to her chest. Seeing Natsu, she held out her hands to him.

"Brother Natsu, you came!" Her face lit up with a smile.

Lucy looked stunned as Dragneel features softened at the sight of the girl, and, though he had worried gaze, he smiled in response with an unusually for him bright and kindness.

"What happen, dear?" The guy sat on the edge of the bed, gently hugging the girl.

"I saw a cat on a tree, and wanted to get it off. I stood on the chair, took off the kitty, but fell off the chair and hurt my knee and elbow", told the girl, obviously proud of herself for saving the kitten.

"Oh, you're such a nice girl", Natsu kissed her on the forehead, stroking her hair. "Will the kitty live with you?"

"Yes, I called it Carla", happily said the girl.

Lucy tenderly watched this scene. She had no idea that Natsu has a younger sister. And especially she couldn't imagine that he is such a caring big brother.

"Natsu, who is it?" Whispered his sister, casting curious glances at Lucy.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my friend Lucy. Lucy, this is my sister Wendy".

"Nice to meet you", smiled blonde girl.

"You're so beautiful, like a princess!" Wendy said excitedly. Lucy did not expect such a compliment, but she was pleased. "And Natsu is your prince, right?"

With that the honey was caught by surprise. She stared blankly at Natsu. He just laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Natsu isn't a prince, he is strong and cool like a dragon!" Another child's voice sounded. The small blue-haired boy, the same age as Wendy, ran into the room.

"This is my brother Happy", smiling, said Dragneel.

"Happy, it's princess Lucy", cheerfully said Wendy.

"Princess, hmm", the boy gave her an skeptical look. 'Well, he reminds more of Natsu', thought Connell.

"Wendy, you have such a beautiful dollhouse", Lucy said. She liked the girl from the first sight very much so she would love to spend more time with her. "Who lives there?"

"My doll Molly", Wendy answered and started to get out of bed. "I'll show you all my dolls now!"

"And you ok now?" Natsu asked worriedly.

"Yes, knee was hurting at first, and I was frightened when I felt down. I wanted you to be with me, so I called you", looking down, said Wendy.

"Well, you did right that you called me", he put his arm around the little girl. Happy joined the embrace too. Lucy was touched. She thought that she would like to introduce Asuka to these kids.

"Lucy, come on, I'll show you all my dolls", almost jumped with the excitement Wendy, free from the embrace of her brothers.

"It would be boring", murmured Happy. "If you'd to see something really beautiful and interesting, come to my room", he said and ran out. Wendy stick out the tongue to his back. Natsu just laughed.

"Look, Lucy, it's Molly", the kid demonstrated the first doll.

After playing around with a new friend, Wendy was tired and climbed back into bed, clutching a white cat to a chest. Lucy promised the girl that she will wait until she wakes up and they will play more. After a couple of minutes, Wendy fell asleep. Blonde girl with a smile looked at small angelic face. She shivered when suddenly a hand was put on her shoulder.

"Come on, let's go now to Happy's room, or he will be offended", Dragneel whispered.

Taking his honey's hand, thus making her heart beat faster, he went with the girl to the next room. In this place blue wallpapers with white clouds were on the walls. The boy had not less toys than Wendy, but instead of dolls were there toy cars, airplanes, soldiers. And near one wall was a large aquarium with all kinds of exotic fish.

"Oh, well, at last", said Happy, apparently trying to depict the irritation. "Look at my aquarium! He's prettier than any doll house", proudly said blue-haired kid.

"So, you like fishes", Lucy with interest looked at the aquarium inhabitants.

"He adores them", Natsu grinned.

"Each fish has its own name. This gold one I got recently, and I can not think of a name for her", reluctantly sighed small Dragneel.

"Maybe call her Lucy?" Gave the idea Natsu.

"Well, I'm not sure if this name is good enough for my fish", mused the boy. Lucy only snored. It's not like her dream was to call the goldfish after her.

"Oh, I know! Luigi!", suddenly exclaimed Happy cheerfully.

"Wow, what a wonderful name!" Praised his brother Natsu, ruffling his hair. With the mischevious twinkle in eyes, he watched as his guest pouted her lips.

"Is Luigi better than Lucy? You have absolutely no taste", she muttered, but they didn't pay attention. Natsu picked up the boy in his arms and circled it around the room.

Soon Happy got tired too and went to bed. Dragneel held an excursion around the house for Lucy. He expected his honey to be slack-jawed, but she behaved quite normally, sometimes giving compliments to rooms she particularly liked.

Lucy, as promised, waited until Wendy had waked up. Then four of them were playing hide and seek in the backyard, where there was also a garden with a lot of flowers and a small pond. She found out that Dragneel's parents are in the business trip to another city, so Lucy has agreed to have dinner with Natsu and the twins. All maids were looking at Lucy either with curiosity or jealousy.

As they dined, the sky lit up with lightning and the thunder was heard. Soon the rain pounded on the windows of the house. Who would have thought that such a nice day will end with the storm? But Lucy still needed to get home. She asked her master if he would take her home by car. But in response she got a question that took her a bit by surprise.

"Maybe you'll stay here for the night?.."
