Lucy wasn't old by any stretch of the imagination. So why her eldest daughter thought that she would be ignorant to the signs that the girl was seeing someone was beyond her. But she held her tongue and let Aurora think she was getting away with whatever she was doing. This went on for a few months before Aurora asked to borrow Virgo, something Lucy had no problem doing in the past. But the last few weeks her daughter had been coming home past curfew and sneaking out again. Then there was the love bite she was trying to hide behind her blond locks. It looked suspiciously like teeth too. That meant one of two things. Her daughter was dating a vampire, or her daughter was having sex with a dragon slayer. So she lent Aurora Virgo but had the spirit report back to her the damage. She was still Virgo's Princess and no amount of begging on Aurora's part would cause the spirit to become disloyal.
What Virgo had reported back had her author's brain spinning with thoughts of a secret tryst with someone who her daughter knew she wouldn't approve of. The idea didn't sit too well with her. She had tried to bring it up to Bickslow, but her husband had turned a very unappealing shade of light green and told her to deal with it. He didn't want to think or know that his baby wasn't a virgin anymore. That left her with one of two options. She could go to her first middle child and youngest daughter, Bianca, or she could go to Mira. While Bianca might know, the girls had a close bond being 14 months apart and Lucy knew they never snitched on one another. So Mira it was.
"You know," Mira said after listening to Lucy's concerns, "I've seen Igneel, Wren, Silas, Skylar and Mica all acting weirdly. I thought I saw Mica and Cornelia slip into the store room but when I went in to check no one was there. I wonder if they're going into heat. They're all at the age where they're sexually mature enough to. We should probably have the Dragon Slayers sit them down and discuss it with them."
What Lucy and Mira wouldn't have suspected was that the coming week would reveal so much.
Day 1:
Sting entered the guild hall nervously. He didn't like what he needed to do but he had been a shitty parent. Then again, they had been an oops, not that he or Wendy ever complained about the two lights of their lives. He was there for them when they were younger but he was a Guild Master and they were members of Fairy Tail. Some days they loved him and other days they wanted to kick the shit out of him. At least Wendy was always there for him, trying to help him become a better parent. They had tried to live in a town between their guilds but her duties to Fairy Tail as the healer meant she had to be on hand quickly. And they didn't want to live with Rogue and Kagura so they could use his Shadows as transportation. Walking in on them once had scarred Wendy and Sting for life. Shaking his head so as to clear his thoughts, he kissed his wife and the two walked up to the Master's office (Now belonging to Laxus) where this meeting was taking place.
"Father," his twins greeted him with smiles and he relaxed a bit. They seemed to be over the most recent fuck up when he forgot his wedding anniversary and Wendy had cried in their arms all night. After a short reunion of hugs and kisses, the children all sat down on the opposite side of Laxus' desk while the adults went to stand behind Laxus.
"So," Mica started, "why are we all here?" As the oldest he was usually the one that the others looked to. Usually he and Skylar would share this but at the moment, the blond looked like he wanted to claw his way out of there, almost like he knew what was coming. This gave the other older slayers pause but they moved on.
"We're here because it seems that the lot of you have gone into your first mating season so to speak. And we're here to tell you all about it and what not to do," Laxus stated as he started to look a bit pale. He had no desire to do this but his wife had threatened him with the couch and his alcohol intake.
Skylar gulped almost audibly and the adults knew for sure. The other younger dragon slayers knew he was the reason they were here way too early on a Saturday morning. He had aways been an open book in that regard.
Day 2:
Aurora ran past her mother, face ablaze in embarrassment as she grabbed a job off the board and told her team they were leaving. Team Igneel was their generation's Team Natsu. Brash, destructive and lovable, it was made up of all of their eldest children. Aurora Heartfilia was their Lucy, the cute blond celestial summoner that somehow was always kidnapped. But she was better at hand-to-hand combat, even if she was an exact replica of her mother down to her chest size. Next was Igneel Dragneel or Iggy. The male Fire Dragon Slayer of this generation. He was just as destructive as his father and no one was able to reign him in, yet. Sometimes his twin younger sisters Jane and Ashley would join them on easy missions but they weren't old enough yet for the big ones. Silver Fullbuster II had his father's looks and temperament but his mother's magic. He didn't argue with Iggy quite as much as Natsu and Gray argued but the two got into some massive brawls, which were usually ended by one of the Fernandez twins. Scarlet and Simon were the youngest of the group. They had also inherited their parents' magic; Scarlet the Requip Mage and Simon the Heavenly Body Mage. At 14, they were more powerful then they should be. The two were a force to be reckoned with and the new keepers of the peace for their generation. They were a good group of mages, even if their destructive tendencies caused a back up of paperwork and a splitting headache for Master Laxus.
"Where are you guys going!" Lucy shouted after her daughter as the group ran off on some adventure. The younger blond turned to face her mother, trying to calm her blush down and yelled back,
"Mount Hakobe! We'll be back in a few days, maybe a week!" And then they were gone. Only Bianca, sitting in the corner with a brooding Kiran Redfox, drinking her strawberry smoothie noticed that Skylar Dreyar was looking like someone had taken away his favorite toy. The blond-bluenette smiled to herself and ignored Kiran's questioning looks. She was going to have so much fun teasing her sister when she came back. This secret was just so juicy that she had to share it with her best friends Cornelia Groh and Morgan Dreyar, even if Skylar was Morgan's brother. The other two girls seemed to know as they locked eyes and ran off giggling, leaving behind confused parents and secret boyfriends alike.
Day 3:
Skylar stomped into the guild in a foul mood and plopped himself down at his table next to Kiran's. Either his best friend Mica Redfox was stupid or he had a death wish because he sat down right next to him and started talking about how pretty he thought Cornelia's hair was today. Skylar tried to tune him out but he just kept talking. He let out a low warning growl that Mica disregarded before he dragged his friend to the job board and plucked one off.
The job posted was easy enough but it was the location that caught his eye. Shirotsume was close to Mount Hakobe and he knew the group would most likely stop there before returning home. Team Igneel had a favorite cake ship there that Scarlet had to go to every single time they were in the area. Grinning, Skylar almost hugged Mica before he thought better of it. The two were out the door, leaving behind their faithful followers/body guards Caelum Justine, Caitlin Strauss and Castor Heartfilia calling after them.
Day 4:
Aurora was cold and wet and angry. The job had been way too easy and before she knew it, it was over. The top half of the mountain's snow had been melted by Igneel when he had gone overboard, again. If only Solaria was old enough to go out on jobs. The budding Ice-Make/Ice-Devil Slayer was only 10 and not yet stable enough in her magic to be of any use to them. When the snow had melted it caused a mudslide and now they were all at the bottom of the mountain. Wet and Cold and Muddy. Luckily they had an inn booked in Shirotsume so they quickly made their way there for a hot shower and some cake.
If Aurora was being true to herself, she would acknowledge that she wasn't really annoyed with Iggy. He always did stuff like this and they always laughed about it and paid the bills with their reward money. The real reason was her last conversation with Skylar. He had told her he was in heat so that was basically why he couldn't stop jumping her bones and that they needed space until he was out of season. She was annoyed. She hated that he thought that they couldn't control themselves enough to be around each other without sex. But then she remembered the day she lost her virginity to him and how awash with pleasure they had been ever since. She had no regrets.
If anyone of the new generation of Fairy Tail were asked who would most likely become a couple, their first response would be Skylar and Aurora. The next answer would be Kiran and Bianca. The third would be Mica and Cornelia. If anyone was actually privy to what went on, they would know that those three couples were already together and had been for some time.
Shaking off the feelings she really didn't want to be feeling at the moment, Aurora linked arms with Scarlet as they sojourned to the cake shop, followed by the boys who were casually bickering about which flavor was the best. Scarlet quickly shut them up by Requipping into her Cake Eating Armor and proclaiming that Strawberry was the best and nothing else mattered. Their day ended with a cake food coma and Aurora dreaming of being in Skylar's arms again.
Day 5:
Skylar had smelled her all over town but by the time he and Mica had finished their job, she had already left on the train. He grumbled the whole way home that night all the while trying not to barf on his shoes as the motion of the train got to Mica and himself.
When Lucy woke up that morning, wrapped in Bickslow's arms, all she wanted was to have sex. They had just been getting to the good stuff when their communication lacrima rang and the angry face of Master Laxus appeared and yelled that their daughter needed to control her pyro of a best friend as they damaged the mountain and caused the fields around it to become flooded. They winced as he went on for a minute about damages and costs and then hung up. The mood ruined, they headed for the shower and were just about to engage in shower sex for the first time since who could remember when their youngest, Lucian, came running in and vomited into the toilet. Why he had to be sick in their bathroom and not the hall bathroom or the downstairs toilet would remain a mystery to them. It seemed no one wanted them to have sex today and that made them just a touch short tempered.
When Aurora finally got home that afternoon, she was reprimanded as she always was for causing unnecessary damage. She rolled her eyes and said she was going to the guild before she flounced out of the house to the sound of her brother hurling in the sink. The look in her eyes had Lucy a bit concerned but she had a kitchen sink to sanitize and a 9-year-old to put back to bed.
When Aurora finally got home and got the mandatory chewing out session out of the way, she rushed to the guild hall, the need to see Skylar overcoming anything else. But he wasn't there. A casual check with his mother the barmaid told her he was away on a job. She turned away, shoulders slumping, not seeing the hearts that filled Mira's eyes at the prospect that her first baby had found love.
Day 6:
Skylar didn't even bother to eat before he left the apartment he shared with Mica. He didn't even say hello to his mother when he entered the guild, something that had her Satan Soul aura leaking through. He didn't feel the affects as he had smelled Aurora in the library and he couldn't stay away any longer. The younger kids hanging out at the bar all shook with fear and dashed for a table in the center of the floor.
Morgan felt the shit that was about to hit the fan and quickly went over to her mother.
"Hey Mom!" She hugged her mother so tightly that the woman forgot all about how troublesome her son was being and hugged her daughter back just as hard. The rest of the guild sighed in relief while Bianca and Cornelia exchanged looks. They knew Skylar was being pretty ballsy, going to have sex in the library of all places. Their moms all liked to go down there for peace and quiet and the guild was about to get noisy with lunch.
Bianca, Cornelia and Morgan all tried to keep the parents away from the library and the older dragon slayers out of the guild but then Scarlet tried to help. The poor girl was just as bad an actor as her mother. Cana had recognized the signs for what they were from the start but hadn't felt like scarring herself. Sighing, she decided to rip the bandaid off in a matter of speaking and just go break the two of them up so their parents didn't have to witness it. As soon as she got down the steps she heard the two moan and decided today was a seven-barrel kind of day. All Lucy could think was that she was too young to be a grandmother!
Day 7:
"Now repeat after me," Laxus' booming voice rained down from the second floor balcony. Below him were all of the teenagers and young twenty-somethings of the guild, including all of their children. Skylark and Aurora were blushing, knowing this was all because of them, "The Guild Hall is a meeting place, not a brothel." There were snickers heard all around as the words were repeated back. A high pitched voice belonging to one of the youngest asked what a brothel was before being shushed and having the little ears covered.
"I couldn't hear that!" Laxus exclaimed and again, the sentence was repeated back, louder this time.
"One more time so I know you've got it and louder!"
"THE GUILD HALL IS A MEETING PLACE, NOT A BROTHEL," was shouted just as a member of the Magic Council walked through the doors to drop off more paperwork pertaining to Team Igneel's destruction. The looks on the frog and children's faces was something the adults would never forget.
