A/N- Hey y'all! The new term of school has started, and I needed a break from homework! I'm excited to start the Phantom Lord Arc after this chapter!
I wanted to write the body switch chapter so badly, but when I tried, everything got all confusing for me. So im so sorry about that.
THIS IS A FILLER CHAPTER
I wanted to write some of Tawna's side of the whole Natsu hatching Happy story. We all know how him and Lisanna ran off to pretty much 'play house'.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail!
Chapter 10
"good morning Lucy," Gramps smiles from his usual spot on the bar as the Celestial mage enters the Guild hall.
"Good morning Master, have you seen Mira or Tawna around?" Lucy says glancing around.
"Ahh," He smiles, "They are in the archives, just through that door and down the stairs." He points the door by the bar.
"Thanks Master, "Lucy smiles. She makes her way down the steep stair case to the large library, "Wow, this place is huge!" she awes.
"Hi Luce! "Tawna smiles from the table in the middle.
"Hey Lucy," Mira smile from the latter with an arm full of books.
"What are you two doing?" Lucy asks.
"Just reorganizing," Mira smiles.
"I can help with that," Lucy smiles.
"Are you sure it's kind of boring," Mira laughs.
"Really boring," Tawna mumbles flipping through pages of one of the books.
"I'm really good with this boring stuff." Lucy smiles walking down to Tawna at the table.
"If Gramps still wanted to punish Natsu and you guys for the S-Class issue, he should have made you all do this," Tawna says slamming her head against one of the books.
"After the whole body switching fiasco," Mira giggles, "He kind forgot all about your punishment. Maybe he thought that was punishment enough."
"Yeah, I didn't want to be stuck as Gray for the rest of my life." Lucy laughs.
"At least you got switched back first, it took Levy three times to get me back into my body." Tawna pouts, "I never want to be Natsu again."
"You have to admit the whole thing was funny though," Mira laughs, "Happy sure was enjoying being Erza."
"I could understand why Erza hated being Happy though," Tawna laughs, "The second-time Levy tried to switch us, I somehow ended up in Happy's body, he smells like fish."
"I smell like fish right now, because your brother dragged me on their fishing trip." Lucy says climbing the latter with a stack of books.
"Oh, they must have gone to you when I said no." Tawna laughs, "As much as I hate organizing, I much rather be here than fish. Natsu and Happy always end up arguing."
"That's what was happening when I left, they were both acting so childish." Lucy complains, "Happy ran off because Natsu cooked the fish. When I told Natsu to go apologize, he snapped at me and walked off. What a jerk."
"Sounds like a normal fishing trip to me." Tawna laughs.
"But that's what makes him so cute," Mira giggles.
"You really think so?" Lucy asks.
"Of course, you're attracted to Natsu's boyish charms too." Mira smiles. Tawna rolls her eyes and makes gagging sounds to the older girls' conversation.
"What!" Lucy shouts then falls from latter along with books from the shelf.
"Lucy!" Tawna shouts as she is covered in the fallen books with Lucy.
"Oh dear!" Mira says coming to their aid, "Are you two okay?"
"Yeah," Tawna says rubbing her head.
"Yeah, sorry about that," Lucy laughs looking to the mess of books around her and Tawna, "Hey, it's an old painting." She says picking up the paper.
"I remember that," Mira smiles.
"We were all so little." Tawna smiles looking at the picture.
"Was this everyone when they were kids?" Lucy asks.
"Sure was, that was about 6 years ago," Mira smiles.
Lucy smiles and studies the portrait, "That must be Gray, is that Cana next to him?" Lucy asks pointing it the picture.
"Hard to recognize her without alcohol in her hand," Tawna giggles.
"Macao and Wakaba? They look so young," Lucy laughs, "Tawna is that you!" Lucy points to a small mage with pink pig tails sitting on a tall blonde's shoulders.
"Ha! Yeah, that's me," Tawna smiles.
"Daww, I forgot how small you were Tawna," Mira smiles
"Yeah, I was still small enough to ride on Laxus's shoulders." Tawna smiles.
"That's Laxus?" Lucy says shocked making Mira and Tawna giggle. Lucy looks to the center of the picture, "I could recognize that spiky head anywhere." She smiles, "Natsu hasn't changed a bit!"
"That's for sure," Tawna laughs, "He's a bit cockier, but other than that he's the same."
"Can one of you two please explain why Natsu is rising a dragon?" Lucy asks pointing to the small blue dragon.
"That's Happy!" Mira grins.
"Why is he a dragon?" Lucy shouts.
"Reedus thought it would be funny to paint him as a dragon," Tawna smiles.
"Hey, I have been wondering," Lucy looks up from the portrait, "How did Natsu and Happy meet?"
"Man, the time sure has flown by since that picture was painted." Mira smiles as she dives into telling the story.
6 years ago
"Hey, look what I found!" 13-year-old Natsu yells running into the guild hall holding a white and blue egg above his head.
"Where in the world did you find that thing?" Gramps asks from his spot on the bar.
"I found it in the East Forest," Natsu grins.
"Hey, you're good for something after all," Gray smirks from a nearby table, "Are you gonna fry it up for us?"
"I ain't gonna fry this," Natsu glares, "Can't you see it's a dragon's egg. I'm gonna hatch it." Natsu places the large egg on a pillow, "What do you think Buggy?"
"It think it's just an egg," Small 6 year old Tawna says looking at the large blue and white egg.
"Look at the markings," Natsu scowls at his little sister for doubting him, "Those are dragon flames."
"I think you hit your head again," Tawna states not being amused by her brother's antics.
"Well, yeah," Natsu rubs the spot on his head where the egg hit him, "But I'm sure it's a dragon's egg!"
"I'm not so sure about that," Gray says crouching down next to the egg.
"So what do you say Gramps," Natsu says turning to him, "Why don't ya hatch it with magic."
"Don't be a fool," Gramps sighs, "Using magic to do such a thing would dishonor the miracle of life. Life is born from love and love alone."
"Sorry Gramps, I'm not following," Natsu says obviously not have listen to a word Gramps has said.
"You'll understand when your older," Gramps sighs shaking his head.
"What he is saying is, if you want it to hatch then you are gonna have to work hard for it." Erza says stepping forward,
"Erza!" Tawna smiles and runs over and hugs the red hair mage.
"Since all you do is burn and break things all day, it might be nice to do something productive for once." She smiles patting the little dragon slayer's head.
"E-erza!" Natsu says stepping back.
"I didn't hear you come in," Gray stutters.
"I've been looking for you Erza!" Young Mira smirks, "Why don't we pick up where we left off?" She scowls.
"Mira," Erza smirks, pushing Tawna back closer to Natsu and Gray standing behind her, "We never did finish our match, did we?"
Lucy: That girl is you!
Mira: Yup. Surprised?
Lucy: Yeah, this looks nothing like you, and you were picking a fight with Erza?
Tawna: Natsu and Gray weren't the only two destroying the guild back then.
"I'm gonna bury you alive!" Mira shouts as Her and Erza dive towards each other.
"I'll make you beg for mercy!" Erza shouts as they collide together sending insults toward one another.
"She gets mad when we get in a fight," Gray says crossing his arms in front of his bare chest, "But she gets to wreck the place whenever she wants."
"Just wait, one of these days I'm gonna give them a beat down they're never gonna forget." Natsu says cracking his knuckles.
"Be nice Natsu," Tawna says peeking out from behind his back.
"Yeah, keep up that tough guy act and you'll never get the girls to like you," Lisanna says walking toward the siblings.
"Shut up Lisanna," Natsu scowls. Tawna glares up at him and pinches his side, "Ow, Tawna!"
"Don't be a meanie," She glares from behind her bangs hanging in her eyes.
"I was only wondering if you needed help raising that egg?" Lisanna smiles.
"You wanna help! Really?" Natsu grins.
"I've never tried raising a dragon's egg before," Lisanna smiles, "It'll be fun."
"I don't know if fun is the right word," Gray says glancing to the egg.
"How are we supposed to make it hatch?" Natsu asks.
"Birdies sit on eggs to make them hatch," Tawna says getting a closer look at the egg that is around the same height as her.
"They do that to keep it warm Tawna," Lisanna smiles, "So, I think we just need to warm it up."
"Really?" Natsu's face lights up, "Looks like I'm the right man for the job." Natsu picks up the egg and starts breathing fire on it.
"Not like that!" Lisanna shouts.
"Stop it!" Tawna jumps on Natsu knocking him to the ground and the egg from his grip.
"Are you stupid!" Gray shouts catching the egg.
"Ow, Buggy," Natsu sighs looking his sister who is now sitting on his stomach, "Get off me," He says shoving her off.
"Careful," Lisanna glares, "We are trying to hatch it not poach it."
"Yeah, you're right," Natsu says defeated.
"Let me handle this!" She shouts transforming into a large bird.
"Wow!" Natsu gawks at the large colorful bird.
"Birds are great at hatching eggs,"
"You're so smart Lizzy!" Tawna smiles as Lisanna holds the egg close to her feathered body.
"Hey, it's warmer outside," Natsu grins, "Let's go to the park to warm it up!" An excited Natsu and Lisanna quickly run out of the guild without thinking of anything, or anyone else.
"Wait! Natsu!" Tawna shouts as her overly excited brother and friend run out of the guild.
Lucy: They left you at the guild?
Tawna: Yeah, I upset with him at the time, but he was really excited. I would have forgotten about me too if I was him.
Tawna sighs and makes her way over to the table with Cana and Gray.
"They always leave me," Tawna pouts sitting next to a shirtless Gray.
"It's okay Kid, you don't need to hang around that idiot anyways." Gray places a hand on her head.
"Natsu will realize he forgot you and come back eventually." Cana smiles.
"You said that last time, then I had to sleep over with Erza." The little dragon slayer sighs and goes back to the picture she was drawing before Natsu came running in with the egg.
A couple of hours go by with no sign of Natsu or Lisanna coming back. Tawna sighs looking at the door once more and places her head against the table.
"Poor thing," Wakaba says from the bar with Macao.
"Hopefully one of these days Natsu will grow out of this leaving Tawna behind stage," Macao sighs. He looks to the small kid then calls over the bar tender and whispers a request in her ear. "Tawna," He smiles. Tawna looks up from her spot, hair slightly disheveled from laying on the table. Macao waves his hand motioning her to come. Tawna slowly makes her way to the bar and looks up to the two adults in the bar seats.
"Wha… hey!" Tawna says as Macao picks her up and sets her on his knee. She looks back to the blue haired fire mage confused, then a juice box and a small plate with strawberry toaster pastry placed in front of her.
"You looked like you needed a bit of cheering up," He smiles patting her head.
"Thank you," she says quietly, beginning to sip on her juice box and take small bites of the pastry.
"Hey, where have you been today?" Wakaba says as 17 year old Laxus walks up to the bar.
"Mission," He mumbles, "Now the geezer wants me to go pick up a few things in town." He sighs then notices Katawna quietly munching on her treat, "Hey, why so quiet Squirt?"
"Natsu left me again." Tawna looks down.
"Natsu found a dragon egg." Wakaba says.
"You have to be kidding me," Laxus says, "I highly doubt that,"
"You never know, Natsu and Tawna were raised by dragons," Macao says placing a hand on Tawna's head.
"Him and Lisanna even made a little house for it out back," Wakaba says. Laxus rolls his eyes and glances back to Tawna.
"Come on Squirt, you haven't gone on errands with me in a while," Laxus says finally getting a smile out of the little dragon slayer.
"Okay!" Tawna smiles shoving the rest of her toaster pastry in her mouth. Macao lifts her off his knee and back on to the ground.
"Okay on my shoulders," Laxus kneels and Tawna climbs onto his shoulders, and him and Tawna leave the hall. "So, a dragon egg?" Laxus asks Tawna.
"He's crazy, "Tawna sighs resting her chin on the top of his head, "It's a big egg, it's as big as me."
"I would consider that a small egg if it's as big as you," Laxus smirks receiving a soft bump to the head from the kid on his shoulders.
"I grew a little," Tawna pouts.
"Just keep tell yourself that," Laxus laughs as the enter the market and make their way through the crowd to the stall in the back.
"Good afternoon Laxus," An grey haired woman smiles from the booth.
"Hello, Miss Maka, do you have the Old Man's order?" Laxus asks.
"Yes, it is right here," She smiles handing him the bag then looking up at Tawna, "My goodness child, every time I see you growing."
"Thank you, Miss Maka," Tawna smiles, "I told you I grew," She smirks to Laxus.
"Thanks, Maka, see you soon." Laxus waves as he turns to leave the market and back to the guild
Next Day!
The Guild was starting to become more lively as the morning progressed, many of the kids and teens have arrived and Tawna had just woken up from her spot on the couch in the corner.
"Did that idiot brother of yours not come back?" Mira smirks from one of the tables as Erza helps Tawna fix her bed redden hair.
"Mira stop it," Erza scowls, "Lisanna didn't come back either."
"Don't remind me," Mira glares to the red headed mage, "Elfman ran off last night too."
"Where could he have gone?" Tawna asks getting down from the bench she and Erza were sitting at.
"Heck if I know," Mira shrugs, "He was probably looking for his dumb parakeet again." Just then a large crash echoes through the guild followed by shouting.
"Which one of you stole my egg!" Natsu shouts.
"None of us want your dumb egg." Gray glares.
"Haven't seen it," Cana says, "Gray, your clothes," She sighs to the half-naked Ice mage.
"Laxus!" Natsu shouts, "Was it you!"
"Yeah right," Laxus sighs leaning against thee pillar near the fired-up dragon slayer.
"Tawna!" Natsu shouts, making his little sister jump and hide behind Laxus's leg, "It was you, wasn't it!" Tawna glares at her brother and blasts him with cold water from her palm, "Katawna!"
"I didn't touch your stupid egg," She scowls.
"Erza!" Natsu shouts going around to all the kids in the guild.
"Now, now, let's not jump to conclusions. It wasn't me." Erza says calmly.
"Have you seen the egg Mira?" Lisanna asks
"Nope, I bet he ate it, didn't you Pinky." She smirks turning to Natsu.
"Mira!" Erza scolds as a fight between the older kids starts. Natsu, Mira, Gray, and Erza jumps in to try and stop them. Laxus places Tawna on his shoulders so she won't accidently get pulled into it like one other time.
"Why are you so mean," Natsu says sadly, "I just want the egg back."
"Awe, he's gonna cry about it," Mira taunts.
"I'm not crying!" Natsu shouts.
"You have to stop teasing him about it," Erza scowls then looks to Natsu, "Now will you stop crying!"
"I'll make you cry!"
"Bad comeback dude," Gray sighs and Mira and Erza clash heads about the egg. Tawna looks over to the door and see's Elfman enter carrying something round.
"Natsu, look!" Tawna says from Laxus's shoulders pointing to Elfman.
"Hey," Elfman says as he approaches carrying the egg, "sorry guys."
"It was you!" Natsu shouts.
"I didn't mean to steal it, you move so much in your sleep I thought the egg was gonna get cold," Elfman smiles, "I kept it warm all night."
"I get it," Natsu smiles as the egg is handed back to him, "Thanks a lot you sure are a real man!"
"Thank you!" Lisanna smiles to her older brother. The egg begins to move and suddenly a crack forms down the side of it.
"It's hatching!" Tawna says smiling. Chunks falls off the egg and a bright blue light appears. The light fades and a small blue cat with wings squeaks, "It's a kitty," Tawna says confused.
"It's a freaking cat!" Macao and Wakaba shout as everyone watches as the cat floats down onto Natsu's head.
"He's so cute! "Lisanna shouts. Everyone gathers around the cat and Natsu to get a better look at the cat. "He's almost like a blue bird of happiness."
"You're right," Natsu smiles, "I think I'm gonna call him Happy."
"Aye!" The small cat squeaks. Reedus quickly paints the rare scene of everyone getting along, making sure to portray Happy as a dragon for the heck of it.
"Buggy!" Natsu shouts looking to Tawna still on Laxus's shoulders, "Come meet the newest member of our family!" Natsu grins. Laxus places Tawna back on the ground and she pushes her way through the crowd to Natsu in the middle, "This is Happy."
"Hi Happy," Tawna smiles scratching behind the little cat's ear receiving a purr and a smile.
"That was a cute story," Lucy smiles from the table in the center of the library, "I really hate to see those two fight."
"The closer two people are the more they fight. Why do you thing Tawna and Natsu fight so much" Mira smiles.
"Being close, and being siblings is two different things." Tawna rolls her eyes, receiving a giggle from Lucy.
"Mira! Can you help me with something!" Gramps shouts from the stairs.
"Be right there. See you two later." Mira waves to Tawna and Lucy, "Oh, hi Natsu." She says as the fire dragon slayer rushes past her.
"Tawna come help me with something!" He shouts.
"No, whatever it is I'm sure you can do yourself." Tawna says glance to her brother.
"I can do it faster if you help me!" He says grabbing her wrist.
"Wait! Natsu!" Tawna shouts as Natsu drags her up the stairs. Natsu pulls Tawna along all the way into the east forest.
"We need to catch as much fish as possible!" He smiles holding his fishing rod.
"By we, you mean me. Your trying to cheer up Happy aren't you." Tawna sighs glancing to the water and sighs, "Fine if it will get you two to stop fighting, I'll help"
"You're the best Bugs!" He smiles rubbing her head.
"Yeah, yeah," She smiles placing her hand over the water she can sense all the fish in the lake. One by one, she manipulates the water into an orb capturing the fish inside.
"Way to go Katawna!" Natsu smiles at her pile of seven fish, "This should be good enough. Let's go find him" Tawna and Natsu hike through the forest in search of the blue cat.
"There he is," Tawna whispers, pointing to Happy attempting to fish at a different part of the lake.
"Hey!" Natsu shouts trying to get his attention.
"I can't hear you," Happy mocks still looking at the water.
"That's too bad Happy, I don't think Natsu and I can eat all this ourselves." Tawna smiles. Happy turns and his eyes light up seeing Natsu and Tawna with a bunch of fish.
"You happy now?" Natsu smiles.
"Of course, who else would I be." The cat grins.
"Come on Fluff ball, let's eat!" Tawna shouts.
"Aye!"
A/N- Hope this chapter wasn't too boring. I want to show Tawna's side of the story. Well, because it is her story. I'm hoping I can start the Phantom Lord Arc here in a couple of days. Whenever I find another gab in my homework schedule. Hope you all have good days and please leave a review or PM me I love hearing your feedback!
