Chapter 29
The Relationship Blossoms
One year has suddenly passed and Nashi is now five years old, they celebrated in the guild hall for her precious birthday. Everyone was there except for Rowena and… Lucy. Nashi hugged Natsu with a big smile on her face after looking at the gigantic chocolate cake with presents surrounding her. Natsu gave his bright smile as he hugged his little girl and rubbing his cheek against hers.
Nashi teared apart the birthday wrapping paper and there was always a surprised look in her eyes once she discovers what's hidden underneath. Natsu took the ripped wrapping paper and burn it into flames and he would eat them while they're still burning in flames. Nashi became curious so, she took a bite out of Natsu's fire which surprised him until he screamed in worry but Nashi replied with a smile which made Natsu smile too and everyone laughed.
While back in Crocus Rowena stood silently in front of a special gravestone, she was wearing a black cloak with her bob haircut flowing in the wind. She stood in front of the gravestone of… Edeline Indigo. Rowena's eyes were nowhere else but they were glued only on Edeline's grave. "Hey! Lieutenant Colonel! Arcadios wants to see you!" called a soldier as he waved his arm side to side. Rowena smiled to herself as she slowly glanced over her shoulder, she pulled off the black cloak and revealed her Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron uniform.
Rowena looked back to Edeline's gravestone and smiled "I now have a real family… Mother. You don't need to worry or cry about me anymore. I'm home." Rowena looked down to her hand showing her purple Fairy Tail mark, she rubbed that hand on her cheek while giving a little giggle. She took her leave from Edeline's gravestone and headed towards Mercurius where Arcadios waited for her.
Later more years passed and Nashi has turned thirteen and Natsu turned thirty years old. As soon they heard about the Grand Magic Games in Crocus, Fairy Tail prepared themselves for the teams and headed out to Crocus right away. Nashi walked down the street with Storm Fullbuster who was only one year younger than Nashi and Rosemary Fernandes who was two years younger.
"Don't go too far!" exclaimed Gray worriedly as his shirt came off. "Wow, you still haven't lost that habit of yours Gray!" laughed Wendy. "Gray!" exclaimed Juvia in excitement with her face turned red. "Hey Reiki! You better hurry up!" exclaimed Erza as she was standing next to Jellal where they waited for their son Reiki who was thirteen years old running towards his parents.
Natsu watched as the couples clinged onto each other, he tried to imagine Lucy's hands wrapped around Natsu's arms. He tried to imagine her touch but felt nothing but blowing wind until a cat's paw touched him. Natsu looked down to Happy with the big cheeky smile ever "Let's go!"
Fairy Tail took what the dragon slayers mostly feared… Vehicles. They split up into groups and each went into Magical Vehicles. Natsu and Nashi were leaning out of the window with their faces green and their cheeks puffed up and groaning all they way. "Kill… me…" mumbled Natsu as he tried to shut his mouth from vomiting. "Natsu! Hang in there!" cried Happy worriedly. "Hey… Wendy do you think you can…" groaned Natsu as he looked over his shoulder and froze in shock as he spotted Wendy was in the same condition as Natsu and Nashi, she was leaning out of the window covering her mouth. "I'm sorry Natsu… I won't be able to help you in this condition" mumbled Wendy.
"You've got to be kidding!" shouted Nashi furiously as she tried to look up and gasp in shock. She spotted her mother standing outside with her lonely smile, with her hair in pigtails and the crop top and black skirt she always used to wear. Nashi mouth silently "...Mum..." until when a tree went pass Lucy… She disappeared from Nashi's sight.
Nashi slowly started to cry to herself and Natsu noticed his daughter crying next to him, he patted Nashi on her head and smiled "Don't worry, we will come back to Magnolia after the games." Nashi looked up and smiled "Yeah!"
As soon they arrived in Crocus and found a motel to stay at the teams started exercising and getting ready for the task that's coming up. Makarov selected Wendy, Romeo, Erza, Gray, and surprisingly Natsu, they were stretching out in their room and Nashi was talking to Storm and Reiki. When the first task was announced the team of Fairy Tail slipped on their purple uniforms and walked out to the circle of the games.
Nashi waved to her father and smiled calling out "Good luck dad!" Some citizens were curious of Natsu becoming a father, they didn't know that Nashi was the daughter of him and Lucy. Everyone thought that Lucy was just a single parent around Crocus who did nothing but worked and try to spend the most little time she had with her daughter until the end.
While one player comes in to fight another from a team, Natsu and Nashi watched the game together and exclaiming and shouting to the players until one shall collapse onto the ground. Soon it was time for Natsu to enter into the ring, Nashi gave Natsu a big hug and smiled "Kick their butt dad!" Natsu smiles back "I'm all fired up!"
Once Natsu enters the ring he versus Sting Eucliffe, one of the twin dragons of Sabertooth. Their fight were brutal with violence, their magic was shooting everywhere nearly to the citizens of Crocus but Rowena was there to protect them by using shell magic. Natsu punched Sting miles underground where they kept on fighting til one of them falls.
Once it was announced that Natsu was the victor he gave a big smiled to his daughter Nashi who cried out glittering tears. Nashi ran down to the fighting centre and tackled Natsu to the ground with her arms wrapped around him. "Ouch! Nashi! You're soon gonna be the victor after you squeeze me to death" groaned Natsu as he chuckled a little bit. "I'm so proud of you dad… Mum would be too" cried Nashi as she sit up and looked into Natsu's eyes. Natsu gasp and then smiled "Yeah, she would" as he looked up to the sky wondering if Lucy was watching him. You saw my fight didn't you Lucy?
Natsu was sitting on a white soft bed for him to relax on with bandages all over his body, Porlyusica was treating some of his wounds and some of the other members in the guild. "Dad? Will you be okay?" asked Nashi worriedly. Natsu giggled and answered "Of course! I'll be fine! Why don't you go outside to see the who is versing who?" "But daddy… What about you?" asked Nashi worriedly as she clung onto his arm. "I feel like relaxing just for now" answered Natsu brightly. "He is right Nashi. Your father needs some rest" explained Porlyusica strictly. "Okay, you get some rest dad. I'll see you soon!" smiled Nashi as she ran outside the room and headed straight to where the other guild members were.
"She is a good little kid. Your lucky to have her" smiled Porlyusica as she walked over to the table and sunk a thing towel in a bowl of water. "Yeah… She's the only one I have left. I will never leave her" said Natsu worriedly. Porlyusica watched Natsu as he lay down on the bed trying to block out the cheering from outside and close his eyes and fall asleep.
Once Natsu had created a dream for himself to wonder in, this dream was very… Depressing. All Natsu could think of was Lucy, he would flash back to the memories of her smiling face and the day they met in Hargeon. In this dream Natsu was holding onto a corpse Lucy in his arms but in a wedding dress, he cried upon her pale white face as he was surrounded by fire. "I'm sorry Lucy, I didn't mean for this to happen" cried Natsu as he lay his forehead against Lucy's. There was no answer. When he stroke her blonde bloody hair then her cold cheeks, her legs were turning into ash all the way to the top and then her chest. "No Lucy! Don't leave me! Please don't go!" cried Natsu furiously as he held onto Lucy tighter but she faded into ash that flew in the red sky.
Natsu gasp in shock as he zapped up awakening from his nightmare, he was breathing heavily while his eyes were filled with shock. Could it be that if Natsu and Lucy even got married? Lucy would still die? Natsu cupped his face while in despair and mumbled "...Lucy… I will still love you… forever… until I die."
After many battles and fights, Fairy Tail returned back to Magnolia with the Grand Magic Games trophy in their hands. Everyone in Magnolia celebrated and cheered for Fairy Tail, they held a parade where Fairy Tail shall walk pass. Nashi and Natsu were walking at the front of the parade with the golden trophy in Nashi's hands. She held it up high for everyone to see and let them know that it was Fairy Tail who won. No one else. Not another guild. It was Fairy Tail!
Natsu smiled as he watched his only little girl holding up the trophy, he looked up to the sky and thought You saw the games didn't you?... Lucy
