A/N- Hey sorry again for the wait on the last chapter. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I really struggled with that one for some reason.

I have so much planned for this story going into Tartarus, and the Alverez arcs I'm excited, and have pretty much everything planned out for Katawna.

Now time for the OVA! This chapter may be shorter, but the next chapter will be starting back up with the Naval battle for day 4 of the games. So, if the OVA isn't your thing feel free to skip it. I'm doing this chapter just for fun. For future reference I will be doing the punishment game OVA after the games as well.

Please excuse grammar or spelling issues, I am trying... I am not perfect.

Chapter 46

"Okay, are you ready, Squirt?" Katawna Dragneel kneels down to the young gun mage's level. Grinning wide, Asuka nods her head excited to be helping her favorite wizard after her parents.

"Good," Tawna grins. The bar is loud with cheers and the strong scent of booze filling the air, so pulling off her plan to torture Cana should pay off, especially using Asuka as a distraction. Lifting the kid easily onto her shoulders, the Water Dragon Slayer strides over to the bar. "Hey," she asks, waving over the bartender.

"Good evening Miss Katawna," the barkeeper smiles amongst the guild's chaos.

"Do you happen to have a bottle of sparkling apple juice?" Tawna asks leaning against the wooden counter.

"Hmmm," He rubs his chin in thought, "I think we just got a shipment in, let me check" The bartender dips below the counter, rummaging through the cooler down below.

"What if he don't have it?" Asuka innocently asks, resting her chin atop Tawna's head.

"I'll just sneak her's away and hide it," Tawna laughs, patting the child's leg. At the same time, the barkeeper stands straight placing the green bottle on the counter smiling.

"Here you go," He smiles, "Anything else I can get for you," He asks, wiping his hand on his apron, before placing them on his hips

"Thanks," Tawna grins, nabbing the bottle, "Can I get an energy drink, and a juice box for the kid?" she asks, since she has the kid with her, she decides to wait on the alcohol for a little bit, at least until Laxus get's back.

"No problem," He grins, rummaging through the cooler once more. Tawna snickers holding the bottle, and begins working on scrapping off it's label. While she's at work, Lisanna joins the petite wizard and kid.

"Hey, Tawna." Lisanna smiles sitting on the bar stool next to her best friend. Pausing momentarily, and raising an eyebrow, "What are you up to?" She wonders slightly confused.

"Hi Lizzy," Tawna says, turning her head to the youngest Strauss sibling, "I'm getting back at Cana," She huffs annoyed, crinkling the label into her hand as the bartender places the can and juice box in front of her. Tawna grabs the box popping the straw in and handing it up to the kid on her shoulders, "Here Squirt, don't spill that on me." she warns, pointing her finger to the child.

"I won't," Asuka smiles, nabbing the box from her hand.

"I heard about that, Mira said you were pretty riled up about it," Lisanna sympathizes, as Tawna drops her head in frustration , cracking open the white can and takes a sip.

"Of all things she could have gossiped about, it had to be that," Tawna huffs, being vague about the subject with the presence of Asuka, and her brother's dragon hearing. "I just hope whoever knows is smart enough to not let it slip to Natsu," She states, turning to the main commotion in the bar. Natsu and Gray are at it again, foreheads pressed together and fist ablaze. "I don't need him trying to fight Laxus again." Lisanna lets out a giggle, and glances to her friend who lifts Asuka off her shoulders and back onto the ground. Popping open the now label-less bottle, she smirks down to her little buddy. "Remember what you're gonna do?" Tawna smirks, taking Asuka's juice box and placing it on the bar next to her can.

"Yep!" Asuka hops up and down excited to help her favorite babysitter. Lisanna catches Tawna's mischievous smirk.

"I'll be right back," The Water Dragon Slayer smirks to Lisanna. Looking back down to Asuka, Tawna places a hand on her cowgirl hat, "Let's go."

The two weave their way through Natsu and Gray's fight, and past the many tables with Fairy Tail members mingling with one another. They stop behind the table where the Drunkard sits atop the wood with Macao and Wakaba across from her. Macao catches his daughter's eye from behind the card mage. Tawna quickly moves her hand across her neck then places a finger to her lips, then pointing to Cana. Not knowing what she's up to this time, he decides to ignore her presence for the time being.

"Go," Tawna whispers kneeling down next to Asuka, shooing her forward.

"Cana, Cana, Cana!" Asuka shouts excitedly, gaining the attention of the drunkard. Thankfully she places her green bottle back down on the table in easy reach for the Dragon Slayer.

"What Pipsqueak?" Cana asks looking down from the tabletop.

"I have a story to tell you!" Asuka hops up and down, babbling quickly before the drunk could voice her protests. Tawna covers her mouth, muffling a laugh. She can only imagine Cana's annoyed look.

Realizing Cana's bottle is drunk down a bit; Tawna sighs annoyed she tilting the bottle in hand back, chugging it down. Both Macao and Wakaba have taken their eyes from Asuka and watch Tawna confused. Pulling the bottle back she places a fist against her chest holding back a hiccup from all the bubbles and scrunching her nose.

"I should have picked grape juice," She says to herself. Looking back to Asuka and Cana seeing that Cana is still appeasing the child by listening. Tawna casually walks behind Cana, slipping the non-alcoholic beverage onto the table and swiping her real one as she continues walking leaving the half empty bottle on a nearby table.

The two older men look to one another, not knowing exactly what the Dragon Slayer is doing. Tawna walks behind them like nothing ever happened, smirking.

"What the hell are you doing?" Macao whispers turning around in his seat, stopping the Dragon Slayer, "You better not be starting another fight."

"I'm not," Tawna giggles, "I'm just getting Asuka." She smiles innocently. Macao scowls knowing that look too well. The amount of times he has seen that exact look on both Tawna and even Romeo over the years, he knows she's up to something. She turns her attention back to the young gun's mage who is still talking Cana's ear off.

"Get over here, Squirt," Tawna laughs, kneeling down and wrapping an arm around Asuka's stomach, "Leave Cana alone."

"Weeee!" Asuka giggles loudly, as she is swung sideways under Tawna's arm as she stands straight. Tawna looks to the side and see's Cana's annoyed face.

"Sorry, she got away from me," Tawna states, before walking off carrying Asuka like a surfboard back to the bar. She flips the kid back over and sets her feet on the bar. Grinning widely, Tawna holds out her hand for the child. "Good job, Squirt," She laughs, getting a high-five from Asuka.

"Yeah!" Asuka grins. Not only being happy about getting to spend time with her favorite 'aunt', but also getting to help her too. Tawna hops onto the bar and crosses her legs, with Asuka excitedly sitting in her lap.

"What did you do exactly?" Lisanna asks curiously looking behind her to the Guild Drunk, who has yet grabbed the bottle.

"I just switched her booze with sparkling apple juice," Tawna chuckles, handing Asuka back her juice box and taking a swig of her energy drink. "We just need to sit back and watch the show," the nineteen-year-old grins as Cana begins to reach for the bottle. Laughing at something Wakaba said, Cana throws back the bottle. The moment the liquid touches her lips, it sprays back out in a shout.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Cana coughs, gaining the attention of the guild, lifting the bottle to eye level. Tawna struggles to hold back a laugh, hiding her grin behind her can. Wakaba grabs the bottle from Cana, sniffing it, before taking a swig himself.

"Yup, that's apple juice," He laughs, realizing what the petite Dragon Slayer was up to. Macao grabs the bottle next, doing the same and ending in a laugh.

"Where did it come from?" Cana huffs looking around for her original bottle, through the laughter that has radiated through the bar. Thankfully, being hammered enough she didn't even try to put blame on anyone. With the rest of the guild laughing, Tawna freely lets out a laugh with Lisanna.

"Asuka," Bisca waves across the bar, catching Tawna's attention, "Come eat sweetie!" She smiles at her daughter.

"Okay, Squirt," Tawna says helping Asuka onto the bar stool, "Go eat, I'll hang out more later,"

"Okay!" Asuka grins. With Lisanna's help, she's assisted down to the wooden floor where the kid runs over to her parents.

"She's cute," Lisanna smiles watching the youngest member run off, before turning back to Tawna who has slid down to the seat next to her.

"She knows it too," Tawna chuckles, turning in her seat leaning her back against the bar, "But she does remind me of myself when I was that age." She says making Lisanna chuckle remembering young Tawna.

"DAMN IT, TAWNA!" Cana shouts cutting off any conversation that was happening, causing Tawna to laugh loudly, before going back to drinking her actual booze.

"I guess she figured it out," Lisanna laughs, covering her mouth.

"I told her she messed with the wrong Dragneel," Tawna says, flashing the infamous Dragneel grin. "She's lucky, if she wasn't the first one competing today, I'm sure Laxus would have electrocuted her." She chuckles, re-tying her hair from a tight pony, to a loose more relaxed one with a few pieces of hair framing her face.

"Speaking of Laxus, where is he?" Lisanna asks, she hasn't really seen the Dragon Slayer around since they all got back to the bar.

"Gramps dragged him out to talk to him," Tawna shrugs, "Probably about the fight earlier." She says sipping her drink.

"Tawna, Tawna, Tawna!"

"Huh?" Tawna scowls as her brother runs up next to her. "Ah!" She shouts as Natsu body slams her from the stool. Her energy drink goes flying behind the bar, and she hits Lisanna on the way down. "Natsu," She groans annoyed, rubbing her back.

"Natsu, we said ask her, not hurt her" Lucy sighs annoyed, running up behind him.

"Natsu, you didn't need to tackle her," Happy complains flying over with Elie in tow.

"Every time you two are around each other, you're knocking each other around," Elie laughs, landing on the seat Tawna fell from.

"Sorry, Tawna," Natsu apologizes, reaching down, pulling Tawna back to her feet.

"It's fine," Tawna rolls her eyes, dusting off her jeans, "What's up?" She grins crossing her arms.

"Most of us are gonna go to Ryuzetsu Land to relax and have some fun," Lucy smiles from next to her brother.

"Yeah," Natsu grins, "You in?" he asks, placing his hands on his hips.

"Might as well," Tawna shrugs, "I could use some relaxing," she smirks, fist bumping her brother. The famous Ryuzetsu Land is not ready for a party like Fairy Tail.


Emerging from the locker room, Tawna stretches her arms above head, running her hand through her now loose hair, squinting her eyes at the bright overhead lights. Adjusting her bikini bottoms from going too far up her bum, she meets Erza and Lucy outside the changing rooms.

"It's so bright, even though it's night," Lucy says amazed looking at the bustling surroundings. From multiple pools, and water slides, to lounge chairs, the park looks like a tropical vacation spot.

"I'm surprised to see so many people here," Tawna says, standing next to Lucy, coming in slightly shorter than the Celestial Mage.

"Hey, Tawna." Lucy smiles glancing at the Water Mage, "Where do you get your swimsuit, it's so cute!" Lucy squeals, eyeing the Dragon Slayer's, black with blue trimmed wetsuit material bikini top and bottoms.

"It's from a small shop in Magnolia, when they do the flea market," Tawna grins, "I'll have to show you when we are back home." She says smirking. Since everyone came back from Tenrou, she's been showing all the girls the best shopping spots. Glancing at Erza smirks, knowing which of her many swimsuits she chose. "It's been awhile since you brought out your legendary swimsuit, Erza."

"It's been a bit since it saw the light of day," Erza smirks, crossing her arms in the front of the golden fabric barely covering her breasts.

"I'd say it's a bit much," Lucy grumbles looking down at her pink and yellow bikini, "I've had this old thing since before I joined this crazy guild." she says hooking her thumb under her strap.

"I would have offered one of my other suits, but-" She looks between hers and Lucy's chest, "- there are a couple letters of the alphabet separating our top size," She snickers. It's no secret that most of the girls in the guild are well endowed. Lucy rolls her eyes before she looks around.

"I wouldn't have bothered either way," Lucy shakes her head, "Knowing your brother, it would have been burned to a crisp at some point." She says only receiving a smirk from Tawna.

"I learned from an early age," She says hooking a thumb in her shoulder strap before lightly snapping it, "Fire proof is the way to go. Now, I'm all for standing around and chit chatting, but I'm gonna go explore." She says padding away with her metal foot clicking with every step on the cobblestone floor. Erza and Lucy glance between each other, realizing that over the years Tawna had never lost a single article of clothing from Natsu's flames, books yes, but clothes no.

"Wait!" Lucy and Erza shout together chasing after the petite Dragon Slayer. "We need to know where you get them!" They yell curiously, because together they have lost countless clothes to Natsu's unruly flames.

The three stroll through the park, exploring its many options and nooks and crannies. There is so much more than just pools and slides. Hot tubs, aquariums, and even live sea life shows, only mark some of the things that can be done here.

"I'm surprised you have never been here," Erza says glancing at Tawna.

"I wasn't too keen on the idea back then," Tawna shakes her head, looking at her prosthetic, "I think Elie and I thought about coming at the last Games, but we got called out on a mission so it never happened," She shrugs.

"Where is Elie?" Lucy says realizing the Calico Exceed hasn't been with Tawna the whole time they have been there.

"She went off with Lily, Happy and Carla," Tawna smiles, "I think Levy and Gajeel are with them too. She said something about going to see the aquarium and getting kiwi juice."

"I heard about her and Lily," Lucy chuckles, "Happy came back to the hotel traumatized last night." Tawna can't help but let out a laugh. She forgot that Elie told him last night.

"I guess buttering him up with a fish wasn't enough," Tawna snorts with Lucy. Suddenly a shouts of a small child brings Tawna's attention from her old teammates.

"Tawna!" Asuka squeals from a nearby pool with her parents. Bisca waves as well, seeing Tawna nearby. Tawna laughs and glances to Erza and Lucy.

"I'll catch you two later, I promised the Squirt I would hang out with her," Tawna smiles.

"Have fun," Erza waves as Tawna turns to walk towards the small family. On her way, she catches something out of the corner of her eye. Stopping momentarily, she smirks, "Now, why is he here?" She says to herself seeing her pouting boyfriend at the other end of the crowded pool. Whatever the reason, she's sure it wasn't Laxus's idea.

"Hey, Squirt," Tawna smiles coming to a stop next to the kid, "You havin' fun."

"Yeah!" Asuka grins widely, "Mommy gave me these new floaties!" She giggles showing off her new pink arm floaties.

"Awesome," Tawna grins kneeling down to Asuka's height, "We wanna make sure you're safe around the water." She says ruffling the kid's pigtails. "Did you do your stretches yet." Tawna asks.

"Yeah, Daddy showed me," Asuka smiles, pointing to Alzack.

"If you can't tell, she's excited." Bisca laughs, relaxing on her pool chair.

"I'd say, just a bit," Tawna laughs with her sister.

"Tawna, you must be a great swimmer!" Asuka says smiling, making Tawna chuckle.

"It comes with the territory of being a water wizard," Tawna grins, glancing to Alzack and Bisca, then back at Asuka, "Hey, how about we give your parent's some alone time, and you come with me for a bit."

"Really?" Asuka says excitedly, with a wide smile spreading across her face.

"Awe, Tawna you don't have too," Alzack says standing, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Tawna says standing up from next to Asuka, "I can keep an eye on her."

"Just don't get in too much trouble," Bisca smiles, making Tawna roll her eyes, placing her hands on her hips. "Be good for Auntie Tawna, Asuka."

"Yay!" Asuka smiles hopping up and down.

"I'll bring her back in a little bit," Tawna says, waving as she begins to walk away with Asuka at her side.

"Bye!" Asuka waves to her parents, then turning to the way Tawna is facing.

"You wanna go say hi to Uncle Laxus?" Tawna smiles down to the kid next to her legs.

"Laxus is here?" Asuka asks excitedly.

"Yup, I just saw him." Tawna nods, raising her head and finding him still sitting at the edge of a pool with his legs dangling in the water. Tawna can't help but giggle seeing the bored expression plastered on his face. Looking down to her right leg, Asuka has started holding on to the front seam of the metal of her leg, so she doesn't get separated from Tawna in the crowd. Coming closer, Asuka grins widely and lets out a shout.

"Uncle Laxus!" She waves delighted, letting go of Tawna's leg. Laxus raises an eyebrow confused, looking for where the shout came from.

"Uncle?" He asks confused, as his expression turns from bored to a small smile seeing Tawna walk up with Asuka at her side.

"I've never seen someone look so grumpy sitting at a pool," Tawna smirks, crossing her arms as She comes to a stop at the edge of the pool he and Gramps are sitting at. Laxus just smirks at his girlfriend, he'd seen a handful of the guild's members, but he wasn't expecting to see her among them. "What are you two doing here?" Tawna asks, looking between Laxus and his grandfather, who also looks annoyed to be at the water park.

"Tawna!" A shout from behind the Dragon Slayer, catches Tawna off guard, making her jump and her right foot slides off the stone poolside.

"Shit!" Tawna shouts as she falls into the water with a loud splash. Breaking through the surface of the water coughing, flipping her head back removing her pink hair from her face. Katawna stands straight in the three-foot shallow end of the small pool. Brushing the left-over soaked hair from her face, her eyes land on the culprit.

"Bickslow!" Tawna and Laxus shout annoyed, glaring at the tall bluenette mage, receiving a loud laugh from the spirit mage.

"Tawna said a bad word!" Asuka declares pointing a finger at the soaked Dragon Slayer. Tawna huffs annoyed, knowing that Asuka is not gonna let her forget it.

"She sure did, Kid," Bickslow laughs, musing up Asuka's hair.

"Did you really need to do that?" Freed asks, approaching shaking his head, crossing his arms in front of his bare chest.

"What, I didn't think she was gonna fall in." Bickslow places his hands on his hips, "We're at a pool anyways, it's not like she wasn't planning on going in the water."

"I wasn't planning on doing it this way," Tawna huffs, throwing her hands up, before smacking them back against the water.

"Awe, don't be a party pooper, it's fun, Katawna," A soft voice cheers popping out of the water next to her.

"Ah!" Tawna jumps backwards towards Laxus's legs, seeing the petite blonde ghost pop out of the blue water.

"First Master!" Asuka cheers hopping up and down between Bickslow and Freed. Tawna catches her breath and laughs.

"Of course, Master Mavis is here," She shakes her head, crossing her arms in front of her chest, before glancing at Laxus. He shakes his head, leaning his on his elbow that is resting on his thigh. "I'm guessing she is part of the reason why you are here," She smirks resting her crossed arms on his knee.

"I'll tell you later," Laxus huffs, causing a laugh to erupt from his Short Dragon Slayer.

"My turn!" Asuka shouts, bring Tawna's attention from Laxus. Her dark green eyes widen, seeing the kid get a running start.

"Asuka… wait," Tawna panics swimming back to the center of the pool, as the kid launches herself from the pool edge, plugging her nose as she splashes down in front of Tawna, soaking her once again. Popping back up to the surface, a wide grin is plastered on the kid's face.

"That was fun, can I do it again?" Asuka asks, floating in front of the Dragon Slayer. Tawna can't help but let a smile spread across her face. Asuka has always been able to make her smile, Bisca has always said that the first time Tawna smiled after Tenrou was the day Asuka was born.

"Sure thing," Tawna grins, "Make sure an adult knows and is near you when you are jumping in the water. We wanna make sure you're safe." Tawna explains helping the kid swim to the stairs to the pool.

"Okay," Asuka smiles, climbing out of the pool. Laxus watches with a little smile on his face watching his girlfriend interact with the kid. It's no secret she's good with kids, most of that is thanks to Asuka. He watches with every jump into the pool Tawna catches her before she goes too far underwater, all with a big grin on her face. First Master swims around the two along with Freed and Bickslow who have joined in as well. The mostly quiet pool that started out with just Gramps, First Master and himself; has turned into a jumble of laughter and splashes.

After a while First Master and Freed are keeping Asuka occupied, Tawna pulls herself out of the pool and walks off for a moment. Laxus, just figuring she went to the restroom, he didn't think anything of it. Until he sees a bottle dangling in front of his face.

"Here," Tawna smiles dropping down next to him, holding her own bottle and placing a small water bottle down next to her, "You look like you need a drink."

"Thanks," Laxus smiles, taking the drink and twisting off the top.

"Squirt, make sure you drink some water!" Tawna says shaking the small water bottle, before placing it back on the stone ground.

"Okay!" Asuka smiles, doggy paddling her way to the stairs.

"Hey, why didn't you get us drinks… bleh!" Bickslow complains, before getting a face full of water.

"Why are you complaining?" Tawna laughs with her freshly dry hair, "I just gave you a drink," She giggles before taking a sip of her botte and looks back to Laxus. "You look like you've had a long night."

"It got better with you here," Laxus smirks, wrapping an arm around her slender waist and pulling her closer to his side. "Not to mention, I get to see you like this," He whispers, pressing his forehead to her temple, making a light blush creep onto her cheeks. The Lightning mage lets out a deep chuckle, receiving a slight nudge from his water mage.

"Stop, there are people around," Tawna hisses, knowing he's doing it just get a rise out of her, "So, why are you and Gramps here?" She asks, running a hand through her wavy pink hair, detangling it as she goes. "Last I saw of both of you, is when Gramps wanted to talk to you."

"To give you the short version," Laxus huffs annoyed, making Tawna chuckle, "At the end of our conversation, First Master showed up and spoke to us. She started crying, and this was the Old Geezer's idea to cheer her up."

"So, he dragged you with him," Tawna giggles, knowing she was right. This was not his idea.

"Yup," He says, taking another sip of his drink, before glancing back at Tawna, "Anything interesting happen back at the bar?"

"I got Squirt to distract Cana long enough to switch out her booze," She says, flashing the infamous Dragneel smirk.

"What did you switch it with?" He laughs, only imagining the Drunk's expression.

"Sparkling apple juice, but that Drunkard had already drunk half of her bottle, so I had to chug half of the one I had before I could switch them," She huffs, slouching her shoulders.

"You hate apple juice," Laxus states.

"Tell me about it," Tawna grumbles, "I should have dumped it, but by the time I realized she drank half of it, I was in the middle of switching it." She says sitting back up, "But her reaction was worth it." Tawna giggles, "She deserved it."

"She deserves more than that," Laxus grumbles, as Asuka scurries her way to get the bottle of water from next to Tawna.

"I agree," Tawna grins, making a smile form on his face. He never gets tired of seeing that grin. Her smile almost never fails to bring one to his own face. He smirks and leans close and kisses her softly, they don't let it last long knowing Asuka is right there.

"Hey, Tawna," Asuka asks, padding over next to her favorite Aunt with her small water bottle in her hands.

"What up, Squirt," Tawna answers, leaning back on her hand and kicking her legs softly in the water, with both her and Laxus taking a sip from their drinks.

"When are you and Laxus gonna have a baby?" Asuka asks, smiling.

"Huh!" Tawna spits out what liquid was in her mouth and Laxus chokes on his, both coughing, being caught off guard by the five-year-old. Tawna looks up with her face a deep shade of red and mouth agape, Laxus's blush isn't far off from her own. Tawna looks to the Kid, who is patiently waiting for an answer, smiling. "Asuka," Tawna coughs horrified, that she even asked that, "We aren't gonna have a kid."

"I wouldn't mind a Great-Grandchild," Gramps states from a table behind the two Dragon Slayers.

"Gramps!" Tawna shouts, horrified.

"Geezer!" Laxus snaps, turning glaring at his grandfather.

"But, Mommy and Daddy had me," Asuka says flatly. Laxus and Tawna glance at one another then back to the kid in unbelief.

"Your parents have been together much longer than us," Tawna says, waving her arms in front of her, with her cheeks still a deep shade of red. She looks at the child who shrugs before she goes back to drinking her water, being unfazed by their reaction. Rubbing her face, hoping her blush begins to fade, "I swear, she's getting more and more bold," She says hanging her head. Laxus stays silent, trying to calm his own flushed cheeks, and places a hand on Tawna's back, rubbing softly. Tawna looks up and catches Bisca from across the large building, she smiles and waving her over. "Okay Squirt," Tawna states standing, "Looks like you're Mom wants you back."

"Okay," Asuka grins widely, running back over to Tawna.

"I'll be right back," Tawna says, crouching down, grabbing her drink, pecking Laxus on the cheek. "Let's go Kid," She says standing straight with Asuka grabbing onto the thigh seam of her right leg.

"Don't find any babies along the way," Bickslow laughs. Tawna rolls her eyes and flicks her wrist, using the water to pull him under. "Hey!" he shouts, popping back out of the water.

"You know, one snap of my fingers I can end you in this pool," Laxus threatens glaring. Causing chuckle to erupt from Tawna's lips as she walks away with Asuka in tow.

The two walk in silence, weaving through the other pool goers. Approaching the small pool the Connell's have claimed, both Bisca and Alzack smile waving. Asuka let's go of Tawna's leg and pads over to her parents.

"Momma!" The Kid smiles, climbing onto Bisca's pool lounge, hugging tightly around her neck.

"Did you have fun with Tawna?" Bisca asks, squeezing her daughter back.

"It looks like she drove Tawna to start drinking," Alzack chuckles, seeing the bottle in the Dragon Slayer's hand.

"You can say that again," Tawna huffs taking another swig, "I should start charging by the headache," She says shaking her head.

"You've never charged us," Alzack points out, still chuckling.

"My mistake," Tawna laughs, taking another drink, feeling the presence of the small child by her legs.

"Tawna, are you mad at me?" Asuka asks sadly, looking down to her feet. Tawna simply shakes her head.

"No," She places a hand on the Kid's head, "You just need to give some warning before you ask questions like that," Tawna explains. She can't be mad at her, she's only five.

"What did you do Asuka?" Bisca asks, setting up raising an eyebrow at her daughter.

"She asked when Laxus and I were going to have a baby," Tawna says, bending over with her hands on her hips, looking Asuka in the face, raising her own eyebrow. Asuka looks away biting her lip, like she has seen Tawna do countless times when Macao gives her the same look the Dragon Slayer is.

"Asuka!" Bisca reprimands, shocked through Alzack's laughter. Tawna chuckles, now being calm down from the question herself. "Who taught you manners?" Bisca asks, only for Alzack to laugh harder.

"That would be Tawna," He laughs. Tawna rolls her eyes, standing straight and placing her hands on her hips.

"Hey, I'm not the only one," Tawna argues, "But don't go too hard on her, she meant well. I think." Tawna smiles, musing up Asuka's wet hair. "See ya, Squirt." She grins.

"Bye, bye," Asuka grins realizing Tawna isn't mad at her. Embarrassed, yes, but not mad. Tawna waves goodbye to the Connell's and begins walking back to the pool where Laxus is. She smiles seeing Master Mavis in a conversion with the Lightning Slayer. She catches a glance in her direction, she smiles back waving. Pausing only when she feels a shiver run up her spine.

"Miss Katawna, your parfum is so intoxicating…" Turning quickly she's met with Ichiyia prancing in her direction.

"Get away from me, you gremlin!" Tawna swings her right leg, kicking the round, perverted man into the nearby wall.

"Hey Man, that's my sister!" Natsu yells, shaking his fist. Tawna turns with her mouth hanging open and an annoyed look on her face.

"What were you doing with him?" Tawna asks, shaking her head walking to stand next to her brother.

"He got me food," Natsu shrugs, making Tawna burst out laughing. She doesn't know what she was expecting from him. He'll go with anyone if it means food. "What?"

"You're such a dork," Tawna laughs, "Is that what you've been up too?" she grins, moving her messy wavy hair to one side of her head.

"More or less," Natsu grins, crossing his arms. The two Dragneels' attention is brought to the wall where Ichiyia peels off the wall, crumpling to the ground.

"Maaannnn," Ichiyia groans, falling to the ground with a thud. Natsu and Tawna glance at each other, before they let out a loud laugh.

"You'd think he would learn by now," Tawna snickers.

"What have you been up to?" Natsu asks as Tawna passes her drink to him, letting him take a sip.

"I hung out with Erza and Lucy for a bit, then I nabbed Asuka and we found Gramps and Laxus here with First Master, so we hung out with them for a bit." Tawna says crossing her arms loosely, "I just brought Asuka back to her parents and I'm heading back to Laxus, Freed, and Bickslow."

"That's why you look tired," Natsu chuckles, handing her drink back, "You've been running around with Asuka all night. It also looks like you actually went in the pool." He chuckles seeing her messy hair.

"Tell me about it," Tawna rolls her eyes, "On top of it, Bickslow scared me earlier and knocked me into a pool." She grumbles crossing her arms.

"You're the only water wizard who sounds annoyed to be at a waterpark," Natsu chuckles, receiving a nudge from his sister.

"I love getting to be around the water, but when there are this many pools, aquariums and people around, my senses get overwhelmed," Tawna sighs. She truly enjoys being around the water, whether it's the ocean, river, lake, or pool, though sometimes it's overwhelming for her magic.

"You still get like that?" Natsu chuckles, remembering she used to get sick from being overwhelmed by too many water sources.

"At least I don't get sick anymore," Tawna smiles, "I think being on that boat looking for your ass so much desensitized me a little." she laughs shoving him, looking over her shoulder seeing Bickslow crouched next to Laxus, and an annoyed expression plastered on her boyfriend's face.

"TAWNA!"

"NATSU!" Two little voices cry, causing the sibling to turn. Natsu gets a face full of blue fur and Tawna gets black and multi-colored fur.

"What happened, Buddy?" Natsu laughs, peeling Happy from his face.

"What's got you so hyped up?" Tawna asks, getting both Lily and Elie off of her. Setting them back on the ground, Elie's and Lily's ears droop and Happy has tears streaming down his face.

"It ate me!" Happy cries. Natsu and Tawna look confused to one another then to Elie and Lily, who are just annoyed.

"We got swallowed by a huge fish," Elie explains signing.

"It was humiliating," Lily glares at Happy. Tawna chuckles guessing Happy was the reason for them getting eaten.

"How did you get eaten," Natsu can't help but laugh, crouching down and petting Happy between the ears.

"He got us roped into feeding the fish in the aquarium," Elie says, drooping her ears, as her and Lily hopping onto Tawna's shoulders.

"Sounds like you guys have had a night," Tawna laughs, "How about you guys go get some kiwi juice, you guys can come hang out with Laxus and I if you want." She says looking between the exceeds.

"I like the sound of that," Lily nods, being down for anything that involves kiwi. Elie and Lily hop off her shoulder.

"Come on Happy," Elie says waving her paw at her brother, "You need a drink too after that."

"I'll go get Carla!" Happy says shooting up into the air. Both Dragneels chuckle seeing their Blue cat recover so quickly.

"Have fun," Natsu laughs, waving as Happy speeds off and Elie and Lily chase after him.

"I'm gonna head back to the pool," Tawna says, turning to her brother, "It looks like Bickslow is about to get electrocuted," She laughs seeing her annoyed boyfriend across the pool area, "You're welcome to hang out too." She smirks.

"Nah," Natsu says, waving his hand, "I got more exploring to do."

"Okay, don't get in too much trouble," Tawna laughs.

"Hey," Natsu says, offended, "I'm not the Water Dragon Slayer in the water park," Natsu complains.

"How much trouble am I really gonna get in," Tawna laughs, "I've ran around with a five-year-old for the last hour. I'm gonna finally relax." She grins, throwing her empty drink into a nearby recycle bin. "You set anything you touch on fire."

"Only sometimes," Natsu corrects, making Tawna roll her eyes.

"See ya, Bro." Tawna chuckles, waving, walking away from her laughing brother. Weaving her way through the busy pools, she grins seeing Laxus striding towards her. Standing not far from their claimed pool, she hugs around his waist, becoming a dead weight.

"What are you doing," Laxus chuckles, dropping his arms under hers and wrapping them around her waist, lifting her up with her feet dangling off the ground.

"I'm done running around with the Kid," Tawna grins, placing her hands on his shoulders, "I get to relax." She grins being placed back on the ground. "What's got you in such a good mood, you just looked like you were about to electrocute Bix." She chuckles. Not that she is complaining, she loves seeing a smile on his face. It's too often that he has a scowl plastered on his face.

"What," Laxus smirks, "I can't spend time with my Girl?" He smirks, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Tawna can't help but smile, she's glad he's recovered from Asuka's question. Not that Gramps nor Bickslow helped any.

"I'm glad I have that effect on you," Tawna smirks, "Or was Bickslow driving you nuts, and you needed to have an excuse to get away?" She nudges his ribs.

"Might be a little of both," Laxus says, raising an eyebrow, "Also I was keeping an eye on Ichiyia to make sure he wouldn't sniff you again." He chuckles glancing to the dent in the wall where the Blue Pegasus mage once was. "Cause he was gonna get more than a kick from me."

"I kicked him hard enough, it should deter him for at least a day." Tawna laughs satisfied. Her laugh is trailed off by Laxus locking his lips with hers. "What was that about?" Tawna pulls always surprised, only to receive a mischievous smirk on his face. "Babe?" She asks suspiciously. Laxus quickly lifts her into his arms, bridal style. He flashes a grin to her confused face, and before she can shout for to be put down, he darts for the pool. "Laxus!" Tawna says loudly, then her eyes widen seeing the pool get closer, "Don't. You. Dare." He stops at the edge of the pool and tosses her the deep end. "LAXUS!" Tawna reprimands before she splashes through the water's surface.

Breaking through the surface, her ears are met with laughter, from half of the Thunder Legion and Gramps. Flipping her hair back she turns, glaring at her boyfriend who has a satisfied smirk on his face.

"You're a jerk," Tawna complains, swimming towards the edge where her appeased boyfriend stands.

"I thought you already knew that?" Laxus smirks, crouching down. Tawna huffs, then sees he's slightly leaning over the edge of the pool, close enough for her to get him back. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulls him into a kiss. She pulls away and flashes her dangerous smirk. Laxus's eyes widen realizing what she's doing. She places her feet on the wall of the pool to give her leverage, locking her hands behind his neck, using his own body weight against him. Flipping him over the edge of the pool. Laxus comes back to the surface, his blonde hair messily sticking to his forehead. Catching a smug smile and a satisfied laugh from his girlfriend.

"That worked better than I thought," She laughs, swimming closer to him. Laxus playfully glares, using his palm to splash Tawna in the face. Tawna lets out a loud laugh before splashing him back.

"MAKE ROOM!" Bickslow shouts amongst two separate footsteps. Tawna and Laxus glance at each other before quickly swimming out of the line of fire. Bickslow and Freed's bodies land in the water, creating a large wave. Coming to the surface, the four friends erupt into roaring laughter.

Gramps sits at the edge of the pool, watching his children laugh and enjoy themselves, with a small smile on his face. Master Mavis joins the elder man, as the four wizards have made it impossible to have a relaxing swim in the pool, even for a ghost.

"They really are a lively bunch," Mavis smiles watching the four engage in a game of Chicken, Laxus and Tawna verses Freed and Bickslow.

"Those four are tame compared to the rest of the guild," Gramps chuckles, watching Tawna and Freed lock hands in battle atop Laxus and Bickslow's shoulders. "But it's refreshing to see them enjoy themselves. Especially Laxus, I don't even remember the last time I saw him let loose." Gramps smiles watching his Grandson and Tawna gain the upper hand in the fight. "I know Katawna is the one who brings this side out of him."

"That happens when you're in love," Mavis beams, swinging her legs in the water. Katawna and Laxus let out a cheerful shout of victory as Freed and Bickslow fell back into the water. "You can tell by the way they look at each other how in love they are." She says simply.

"I never thought I would see the day that boy would fall in love," Gramps says shaking his head, "He was so closed off from most everybody, but Katawna was able to break through those walls he built. I shouldn't have been surprised, even back when Katawna was a kid, she was the only one who could even get a smile out of the boy."

"Those two are meant for each other," First Master nods with Gramps, "those seven years on Tenrou were a blessing for them."

"Hard to believe that Child was supposed to be in the S-Class Trial," Gramps says, glancing up to his competitive children not far from them. "If she didn't get into that accident a month before she would have been, and none of this would have been possible." He explains amongst the small argument between Tawna and Bickslow. The spirit mage cheated, knocking Laxus's legs out from under him. Laxus laughs, grabbing Tawna around her waist, holding her back from fighting. "But I'm glad it's Katawna, she's become an amazing and talented young woman. Even after everything she went through in her youth."

"I know those two have a bright future ahead of them," Mavis smiles positively, "There's nothing that can break the strong bond they have, it will only get stronger."

"I don't have a doubt they will be fine," Gramps smiles, knowing First Master's predictions are accurate, amongst the laughter in the pool.


Tawna stretches her arms above her head, before concentrating her magic on removing excess water from her right leg. The four of the five members of the Thunder Legion have decided to call their battle a draw. Now, Bickslow and Freed have gone their separate ways from Laxus and Tawna.

The young couple have taken up one of the tables next to the pool, where Master Mavis has taken to swimming once again. Tawna has thrown on a pair of

jean shorts over her bikini bottoms, and Laxus has his black tank top back on.

"Damn it," Tawna curses, "I should have kept my hair up," She huffs, yanking her brush through her knotted pink hair.

"You're gonna go bald if you keep that up," Laxus says flatly, resting his chin on his hand, leaning against the table. Tawna glares, scrunching her nose at the tall blonde. Holding the ends of her hair, ripping through her hair once more.

"It wouldn't be this bad if you didn't throw me in the pool too," She crosses her arms, "It was already bad thanks to Bickslow doing it first." She glares. Laxus chuckles raising his hands in defeat.

"Fair enough," He chuckles, "I'm not the one with hair down to my ass." He says eye Tawna up and down, looking at the tips of her hair almost touching the waistband of her shorts. Tawna shakes her head, placing her brush back into her pack.

"I know," She huffs, pulling her hair to the side starting a braid, "I need a haircut, it's been years." She says quickly braiding the untangled hair to the side.

"It looks like it has been seven," Laxus chuckles, crossing his arms.

"More or less," Tawna shrugs, "I got a good chunk of it chopped off during a fight a few years ago."

"That doesn't count," Laxus laughs, shaking his head. Tawna chucks the towel that was sitting next to her. Only for it to be easily caught by the lightning slayer.

"It's better than nothing," Tawna complains, walking over to him leaning close to his face, placing her hands on her hips. Before she can do anything, her sensitive hearing picks up shouts and screams, making her turn her attention to the water slide across the way.

"What's going on?" Laxus says glazing along with Tawna. The commotion has gained many pool attendees attention.

"I don't know, but I hear multiple members of the Guild," Tawna shakes her head, not worrying about it, "So, that's no surprise I hear Natsu, and Gray." She chuckles.

"Let's hope they don't break anything," Laxus grumbles, standing from his seat. Tawna wraps an arm around his waist and leans her head against his arm.

"If they do, they are paying for it," She chuckles. She raises an eyebrow feeing the temperature drop around them slightly.

"I-i-itts c-o-oold," First Master stutters from the pool shivering. Laxus shakes his head and grabs the towel Tawna threw at him.

"You've been in there too long," He says, holding out the towel, for the shivering Fairy Tail Ghost.

"She's a ghost, why is she cold?" Tawna asks. Pausing, she holds her hand in front of her mouth, blowing softly. She can see her own breath, "What the?" She questions, turning her attention back to the water slide. Her eyes widen seeing blue and blue-green ice cascading down the slide, encasing everything and everyone as it goes. "Crap!" She shouts, running to the edge of the pool, before the frozen sheet makes it to them, she redirects the cold ice above their heads to the wall behind them, encasing them in a dome.

"What the hell?" Laxus asks annoyed, even though he's not surprised. Tawna walks over to a few daggers of ice hanging down from the dome she created, snapping off a chunk of blue ice, she crunches it between her teeth.

"Yup, that's Gray," She nods, recognizing the tastes of her old teammate's magic. Breaking off a piece of the blue-green ice right next to it, and taking a bite, making her face scrunch, "Bleh," She spits, "and that's Lyon," She says, recognizing the bitter tasting ice as well.

"Those two must have gotten into it," Laxus states, coming back to stand next to Tawna. "At least they only froze everything," he huffs, it could have been much worse. They two wizard's attention is brought back outside the ice shell, seeing a bright orange ball of light. Tawna knows exactly who it is and feeling the amount of magic power that is behind it, the outcome won't be good.

"GET DOWN!" Tawna shouts as Natsu's flaming fist collides with the ice, causing an explosion of ice and fire. Laxus and Tawna are blown off their feet, sliding across the cobblestones, Laxus covers Tawna's body with his own as they land, shielding her from the debris falling around them.

"HAHA HAHA!" A proud laugh erupts in the destroyed pool. Guild members, and local pool goers scattered around the fallen rubble of the pools waterslide and buildings.

"NATSU!" Tawna shouts annoyed, sitting up with Laxus. Her eyes widen seeing the destruction not only Natsu caused, but Gray and Lyon.

"Those two have really done it now," Laxus growls standing, and pulls Tawna up to her feet with him before striding off to go find Natsu and Gray. Tawna shakes her head, knowing he's gonna give them both a good knock in the head for this. She looks around and sees Lucy holding her, chest after her bikini top getting destroyed by her brother's flames once again. She looks around, quickly locating her bag discarded on the ground. She rummage through it finding a spare top.

"What the hell happened?" Tawna asks running over to the celestial wizard, holding out the cropped, black, spaghetti strap top, "Here, it's not much, but it's better than nothing."

"Thanks," Lucy says thankfully, taking the top, and Tawna stands in front of her, somewhat covering her friend as she quickly changes, "It was just a big mess," Lucy says drooping her head, standing next to the shorter wizard.

"All I heard was screams, next thing we knew everything was covered in ice," Tawna says, "Then my idiot brother, blew the place up."

"That about sums it up," Lucy sighs, "We all got knocked into the water slide before that, that's probably where you heard the yelling."

"Makes sense," Tawna rolls her eyes. Though she is also known for being quite destructive on missions, especially when she is with Natsu and her old team. Outside of work and guild brawls, she's pretty tame. What they all caused in the park, was overkill to say the least.

"WHO'S RESPONSIBLE!" Gramps shouts, causing his guild members to flinch. His face red, and fist clenched so tight his knuckles turn white. Whenever anything like this happens, he knows it's his children who start it.

"Got them," Laxus says, holding up Natsu and Gray by the back of their necks. Large knots on their heads, and blood dripping from their noses. It's obvious Laxus gave them a beating before dragging them here.

"Well, this was fun while it lasted," Tawna crosses her arms, "We are probably looking at a lifetime ban." She chuckles.

"And a property damage bill," Laxus grumbles, tossing Natsu and Gray to the ground in front of Gramps.

"That too," Tawna says walking over to where he stands not far from Gramps and her brother. Though, Gramps isn't too concerned with Natsu and Gray, as the Ryuzetsu Land security is giving him the damage briefing. From the tears streaming down both his and First Master's face, it doesn't look good.


An hour later, Laxus and Katawna are walking back to their hotel room. Gramps let a handful of guild members leave. He's being harder on those who were directly involved in the incident, so Team A is in for one heck of a punishment after they clean up Natsu, Gray, and Lyon's mess. Even the Exceeds, got roped into clean up duty, so it won't be late until they see Elie for the night.

Laxus wraps his arm around her shoulder as they make their way to their hotel. His jacket draped over Tawna's shoulder, being still in her bikini top and pair of shorts. She gave whatever extra clothing she had between Erza and Lucy, so they at least had something to cover themselves. The two walk back in silence, after the long night, both just wanting to get back to the room for a shower and sleep.

Pushing open the door to their room, Tawna shrugs off his jacket, hanging it up on the hook near the door. Kicking off her shoes, she falls back on their unmade bed, with her arm draped over her eyes. Feeling the bed dip next to her, she peeks and sees Laxus resting on his side, untying her braid, and running his finger through her hair.

"As much as I wanna stay like this," Tawna says, pushing herself up on her arms, "But, I need a shower." She pushes herself off the soft bed. "Are you coming?" She asks, turning on her heels.

"You go first, I'll be in there in a few," He smiles, sitting up, "I'll grab our change of clothes."

"Okay," She smiles, padding into the restroom.

Letting the warm water fall over her, she lets the night's chaos flow down the drain, scrubbing away the smell of pool water and debris. She forgot how chaotic the Games could get. It's no wonder she ditched out on it for a few years and did missions instead. It feels like there is no space for rest, especially with the Guild around. Fairy Tail is always causing trouble wherever they go. She's brought out of her thought's hearing the bathroom door open and close. Glancing over the stone divider, Laxus still in his swim trunks, places their clothes and towels on the counter.

"Hey, Babe," Tawna says, resting crossed arms on the shower divider, being barely low enough for her to do so. Laxus looks up, from brushing his teeth.

"What up?" He asks, seeing something is on her mind, "You miss me already?" He smirks.

"Don't flatter yourself," She rolls her eyes laughing, "I didn't get to say this earlier, but I'm sorry about Asuka earlier." She says scratching the back of her neck, blushing slightly. "That was the last thing I expected to come from her." She hears the faucet turn off and a deep chuckle.

"Don't worry about it," Laxus chuckles, striding over to her with their towel in hand. "It caught us both off guard." He smiles kissing her damp forehead. "Though, Bickslow and The Geezer didn't help any." he grumbles.

"It was horrifying," Tawna huffs, "The guild has known about us for three full days and we have already gotten marriage and kid questions. Not to mention Cana's little stunt."

"Don't listen to any of them, Tawn," He says brushing a small piece of hair behind her ear. She smiles softly hearing the nickname he'd given her. It's not much different than being called Tawna, but it sounds so sweet coming from him. "Sure, Cana deserves a beat down, but everyone else will chill out after a while."

"They better," Tawna smirks, "But it is the Guild, they may get worse as time goes on." Laxus can't help but laugh with her, she is right. The guild can only go two directions, either they will chill out and not bother them, or it will be constant bothering.

"We'll throw down with them when the situation calls for it," Laxus chuckles.

"Okay, but if I get any other kid questions from anyone that's not Asuka, I'm fightin' them right there." Tawna states determined.

"Deal," Laxus agrees, leaning down kissing her softly. Pulling away, he catches a smile on Tawna's face.

"So, are you just gonna stand there, or are you gonna join me," She raises an eyebrow with the warm water falling down her back

"I was waiting for the invite," Laxus smirks back.

"Then consider yourself invited." Tawna smirks.


A/N- Not going to lie, I did my best with the OVA. It was fun to write, but for the life of me I could not get this ending right. I'm not sure why, but I struggled. It's okay, I hope none of you will mind.

I hope to get the next chapter up soon, it's still a work in progress. Once i finished this, I couldn't help myself but post it.

I hope everyone is staying safe, and have a great day!
