On with the story

A month soon passed as things in Magnolia was well…..normal

Natsu was looking at a construction site as workers were building his new home on the land where the old building was at.

After finding the Dragon Shield within the old house, Natsu had decided to demolish it down because it was beyond repairable or even to be saved with magic

Natsu watched as they were nearly half finished with his home which was going to be two story high but with lots of room for a garden.

"can't believe that I'm liking their idea" Natsu said as he holds his house's blueprint which had the sketch of a plain and normal house, but the girls decided to do some makeover in some parts. "at least its going to be good"

"big boss!" Dan called out as Natsu looks to the side and sees him running towards him

"what is it?" Natsu asked Dan who stood in front of him

"I got the call from the entertainment company of Star Luxuria!" Dan exclaimed with a grin "they're going to sponsor us!"

"good" Natsu said "and the set up?"

"A big YES!" Dan said grinning

"well then, all that leaves now is the house" Natsu said sighing as he looks to his home which was still being build at the moment before looking back to Dan "make sure to get them calls right"

"roger!" Dan said as he runs off to do his job

Natsu sighs as he looks to his home and sees the worker, cementing the walls of his home

"Natsu!" Natsu soon hears Lucy hollering as he looks to the side and gawked to what he was seeing

Lucy and the others were off to get the paint for his new house, they were away while getting a ride from Ash, Hyrus, and North. The three giant beasts gave the town a panic attack when they came but Natsu calmed things down. They now can stay in town thanks the mayor who gave a warning to Natsu that any damage, any of the three cause will be directly sent to him to pay up

Right now, Natsu was looking with disbelieved eyes as they were getting back with the paint but his three pets were all covered in ribbons, and glitters which made him gawk hard to see frightening beasts, covered in ribbons and glitters

"we got the paint, just like we ordered" Mira said carrying two buckets of paint in her hands

"the store seller was really nice" Erza said with a smile while carrying a big bucket of paint

"yeah, he gave us a big discount" Kagura added in

"I wonder why" Natsu thought as he knew what girls like to do to get discounts at anything

"looks like they're nearly finished" Ultear said while carrying a plastic bag of brushes and canvas

"the inside is done and now the outside" Kamika said while carrying a box filled with little cameras for some reason

"let's start painting when they're done" Cana said grinning before drinking a bottle of beer

"but first, let's tend to the garden, shall we?" Ikaruga asked while carrying a small bonzai plant in a pot "it is such a waste to not have a beautiful garden"

"right about that" Éclair said while carrying some flower seeds in a small bag

"may I join in as well?" a voice asked as everyone turns to see Irene standing by while wearing a red shirt and black jeans, with a hat and a sunglass

Things with Irene was well for Natsu and Erza, she turned from such a wicked witch into a loving sla- mother. Now she's a part of Natsu's mates to which he all loved

"mother, I thought that you were busy at the moment" Erza said

"I wrap things up a bit faster" Irene said while taking off her sunglasses and smiled "thought that I should help with the new house"


And so, the girls started decorating the garden while Natsu stood and watched them decorate his home to their liking

"man, female these days are all the same" Natsu thought before Demonic Natsu appeared beside him, looking like he had just woken up from a long nap

"man, that a good hibernation sleep" the demonic spirit said before looking around "did I miss something?"

"more like all of it" Natsu replied as he took a glance to his other self before to the girls

"heh~. Looks like I did" the Demonic Spirit said as he looks in Natsu's memories before to the girls "9 girls, huh?...not bad"

"was that a praise or something?" Natsu replied as his demonic self chuckled

"think it as what you want" he replied before disappearing "I'm going to sleep for a while"

"sleepy head" Natsu thought before he heard Éclair calling out to him

He went to them, not minding anything for the moment


Night soon came as the moon was up in the dark sky, with the stars covering it at all

Natsu was in a meeting with 2 men wearing suits as Dan was with them.

The three were talking in a restaurant as they conversed while having a meal

"anything else?" Natsu asked as he signed some papers before giving it to one of them

"we will deliver the notice in four days time till we get a response from our superior" one of the men replied as the other keeps the papers into a suitcase "till then, please wait until the response come"

"isn't there any way to make it more faster?" Dan asked while eating a salad

"there's no other fast way, just be patient" Natsu told Dan who nodded in understanding

"till then, we will be in full support" the two men in suit said as they stood up and bowed before shaking hands with Natsu and Dan "we'll be ready to help the Flaming Salamanders burn the music world"

"appreciate it" Natsu replied shaking the hands of the other before they leave together


Natsu and Dan now were in their limo as Dan drives while Natsu just sits at the shotgun side

"I'm starting to think that I should just buy a motorcycle or a small car. Just to get away from those reporters and fans" Natsu said while looking at the window "those guys are more vicious and so determine than some Badging Weasels on adrenaline rush"

"that's life in the showbiz, big boss" Dan replied while grinning "things aren't easy when you're famous after all!"

"haaa…being famous is like getting a life sentence of crazy fans chasing after you" Natsu said before sighing again "I think I should get some fences or something to surround my house, just to stop those crazy fans away"

"way ahead of you, big boss" Dan said as he gives Natsu a magazine of house products

Natsu takes it as he looks at it before seeing one page was bookmarked

He opens it and sees photos of an assortment of security products like magic surveillance cameras. Traps, and fences

"thinking ahead, huh?" Natsu said as he started to look around to see which one fits his taste and need

While Natsu was looking around in the magazine, Dan suddenly hits the brake hard, nearly causing the limo to get flipped forward

"hey" Natsu said looking at Dan who had his eyes wide as plates "Dan?"

"B-Big boss" Dan stuttered out while frozen and his eyes looking dead forward

Natsu looks forward as his eyes widen a bit when he saw a man standing in front of them, while covered in blood before falling to the ground

Instantly getting out of the limo, Natsu went to the man before placing a hand on his neck

"Big boss…" Dan called out while looking out the window as Natsu looks at him and shook his head, making Dan's eyes widen "I'll call the police!"

While Dan was calling the police on his phone, Natsu checks the man as he looks at what cause his death and he found it

"burn marks?" Natsu said as he finds bleeding burn marks on the man's chest that had a gaping burned hole


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
