Mira woke up on a comfy couch. Erza she saw was on the floor. She smelled something. It smelled sweet. Pancakes. Definitely pancakes.
"Morning Mira-san" greeted Rose. " I made breakfast. Come and eat."
Soon, Erza began to stir. Her eyes slowly flitted open " that smells amazing. Rose. You cook?"
Rose giggled. " of Course I do. I had to learn otherwise I would have starved. I taught myself how to live and cook at a young age."
They ate buttermilk pancakes to what Mira described as " fluffy clouds with maple syrup drizzled with a perfect amount of butter"
" Rose, I must ask. Why do you not come to the guild? You lived so secretly and-"
Rose interrupted Erza by putting her hand up. "Erza-san. You know I have my reasons. But now I have no choice. I'm going to have to do what I have to."
Mira could feel the tension rise and interrupted the silence. " my, my let's go to the guild now! I'm sure master would be expecting us!"
Lucy's pov.
"Oi! metal-head! you ran off yesterday what …" Natsu began as he walked up to Gajeel. I giggled. Last night was quite fun. The spaghetti was really nice. But what irked me the most last night was how much it seemed like a date. a lot of people passed and stared at what Natsu and were doing. I even heard a group of girls saying ' they look so cute together, I wish I had a relationship like that'
well Natsu is a little cute and... I shook my head at the thought. Nakama. He is ONLY nakama.
I may have a little crush on him but. Natsu probably likes Lisanna. Yeah. As long as he's happy then I should be fine.
Natsu's pov.
Damn that Gajeel leaving me like that. I gave him hard punches and screamed some random insults. BUt weirdly, he looks somewhat bored.
"Agh! You're no fun at ALL. You can't even fight properly today." I whined.
I walked away and sat at the bar. " Oi Mira!"
…
"MiraJane!" I called. still no answer Where could she be? Now that I think of it, Erza isn't here either, and Erza is usually here at the same time as Mira. Gahh all this thinking is making me dizzy. I feel like I'm riding a train. Train. Train.
I could feel my stomach twisting. All the blood drained my face. I feel like I'm going to puke. I put my hand on my outh and I started to feel green. I leaned my head on the table.
"ehh Natsu you don't look so good" Lucy said. When she spoke, for some reason, my heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. What the? "Are you okay Natsu?" she asks me worriedly. She starts to rub her hand on my back. I started to feel a little better but why do I feel so warm and tingly? I could feel my face heat up for some reason. My stomach started to drop inside of me. I felt like I was falling, but in a happy way? This doesn't make any sense! I'll ask Wendy what's going on. I might be sick.
"Thanks Luce, I feel better now. I think I'm going to ask Wendy if I'm okay."
" Yeah sure. Tell me if you need any help okay?" she offered.
"Sure"
I began walking from the bar. We were still based at this sorry excuse for a guild was near the door so I made my way to her. But as I was walking the door opened. I started to shake. I felt a huge magical surge come through me. But that wasn't why I was shaking. I know this smell. I look to the door. Mira and Erza were standing on the sides of young girl. She looked about fourteen, no fifteen. But that smell. It's so familiar.
.
"mama! Mama!"
.
I took a step back. What was that voice. Was that. Me?
" Gomen! We're late but we had to pick someone up!" Mira said apologetically.
The girl step forward and we were all able to see her properly. She was wearing a black loose long sleeve shirt that that had a turtle neck and baggy torso, which tightened at her fore arm and waist down. Her pants were slightly baggy but similarly to her shirt, it tightened at her calf down.A katana slung on her side. Her boots were simple, tight and flat ( think ninga nin-nin \ -0- /). Her rose colored hair was tied up in a high plait ponytail and it went down to her waist. her eyes were a piercing gold and seemed to stare into your soul.
Her mouth opened. " Minna! It's really nice to finally meet you! My name is Rose Jade!" Her voice was really chirpy. It was adorable. Wait did I just think that?
The guild was in a complete silence. But within matter of seconds the guild erupted in a large cry of welcome. Well the my generation at least. For some reason, the oldies were kind of shaken and a little scared. Master seemed to just sit and stare at Rose. He then looked to me giving me that 'Why aren't you welcoming her' stare. I looked away pretending I didn't notice.
"Welcome Rose-chan!"
"Let's be friends okay?"
"It's nice to meet you"
I stood from my spot, wide eyed. Who is that girl?
.
"mama can we go out?"
.
I shook my head. What's with this voice in my head? Mama?
Rose stopped laughing with the other guild members. She was now staring at me. I could see tears starting to well up into her eyes. Seeing her cry. I for some reason wanted to comfort her. To help her. To wipe away those tears.
She shook her head and wipes her tears away. She walked past me. But as she did, her scent grew strong. All these thoughts were giving me a headache.
Why are the adults so shaken? Why does she seem so familiar?
I then started to feel something really sad from behind me. I turned around and saw Lucy. She was laughing. But I could see through that. I could feel something sad within her.
Why is Lucy suddenly starting to feel a little sad but look perfectly fine?
I went to Wendy. I almost forgot about my little problem.
"Wendy, I think I'm sick."
"Eh? Really?"
She felt my forehead' well you seem a little warm, but nothing out of the ordinary." She said. For a twelve year old she was pretty smart. " Why do you think you're sick?"
"Well I felt a little motion sickness, but ten lucy started to talk to me. I felt all tingly and warm and my heart stopped beating. Then she tried rubbing my back to make me feel better but the I thought I was falling, but in a happy-ish way and then I could feel my face heat up which I've never felt before!"
Wendy blinked twice. " Natsu-nii, you really don't get it do you? " She giggled. Why is she giggling?
"o-oi what's going on?"
"Natsu-nii you're not sick. You are in LOVE!" She squealed and seemed to look as if she had a sugar rush. But to my luck Mira heard every single word. And there was only one thing in my head when Mira stepped in.
Dammit.
Normal pov.
Rose looked to Natsu, her sad eyes then moved to look to the ground.
"Rose-chan."
Rose looked up to see Master smiling from ear to ear.
"Master, it's been a while hasn't it. " Rose dodn't have her chirpy voice. It was actually quite medium pitched and had a light husk in sounded too mature for her age, but it was a voice that sounded so smooth and light despite its contents.
"Yes it has." He sat down next to the pinkette. " Are you now able to keep your magic energy under control. You know your magical energy is extremely large. I know Fairy Tail has fought many battles, but no battle has ever been harder than yours. But we are family, s please, be free to talk with us."
"Hai."
Levy was now walking to Rose dragging an almost dead Lucy.
"Eh what happened to her? Who is she?"
"This is Lucy, she was a little shy but we persuaded her to come and meet you. You are new here, Lucy was the guild member that joined just before you. So here is Lu-chan!" Levy introduced Lucy. Lucy stood up and looked to Rose.
Lucy's pov.
Natsu seemed very interested in this girl. Does he have a crush on her? I'm probably right, I mean look at her, she's beautiful! And her name suits her perfectly! So I should be happy for him right? I mean I don't like him. Do I?
"Nice to meet you. Lucy Heartfilia. This guild may look a little crazy and the guild hall is a little small, but we used to have a BIG building"
"Lucy, you don't need to tell her. She was already part of this guild from a young age. In fact she still is young. She's fifteen. Only a few years younger than you. But not many of you kids know her, She is our youngest s-clas mage, and without a doubt, the strongest mage in the guild. "
Wow, wait, really? Rose is an S-class? and she is the strongest. " But what about Gildarts? I mean he's a monster!"
"He sure is, but, Rose defeated him at four years old and he was in the infirmary for about a week. That was around the time she had to leave for a while."
"Wow! Amazing You are incredible!"
"Master I don't like to brag" Rose said. I could see her blush a little bit. " Ngaaw you're modest too" I hugged her, she was just too cute. " For a fifteen year old you are AWESOME!"
If Natsu likes this girl, then fine by me. She is absolutely, without a doubt, a better catch than I am.
Few days later
normal pov
"Master, can we talk in your office. I need to tell you the something" Rose said with her hands behind her back.
"Sure come I, come in"
They disappeared from sight. Where Natsu was, he was hanging out a lot with Wendy. He was curled up in a ball and Wendy was patting him on the back. everyone was very worried about Natsu. He would always buy his head into his arms. No one but Wendy and Mira knew.
"Oi they say that Natsu likes some girl" A guild member gossiped.
"Oh really"
"Yeah, I heard Mira talk to Wendy. Mira said ' he'll confess to her soon enough' "
"Woah, but Natsu is Natsu, and last time this happened he just wanted some stupid treasure chest."
"You think it may be Rose-chan"
"No way, she is way too cute for him..."
Lucy heard every word. What is going to happen. She finally accepted the fact that she liked hme that day. Why, because of her dreams, they have been the same since that night that Levy had a date ( which according to Levy was a complete success)
Lucy's dream
A little girl was sniffling. Lucy walked up to her. They were in a dry barren dessert.
"Hey, where's your parents?"
The girl looked up to Lucy, she was about seven. But Lucy stepped back a llittle bit. The girl looked EXACTLY like Natsu, just with longer hair and more girl looking.
"Why did you ask that?" Happy asked. He was holding a purple egg.
"Mama, why did you say that?" The little girl said.
Lucy took a few more steps back. Mommy?
She heard laughing and she turned to see Natsu walking with a toothy grin. For some reason Lucy ran and found herself at a forest. All the trees were similar and had a dead atmosphere. She climbed the trees and looked down only to see Natsu holding the little girl on his shoulder's. The girl was crying.
"Papa, where's mama?" The girl said.
"Well let's call her name, maybe she'll hear us." Natsu replied.
"MAMA!" The little girl screamed.
"LUCY!"
And just like that, her dreamed burned up and she would wake up back in her bedroom, her hand on her stomach.
back at the guild.
"Ne Lucy, you like Natsu don't you" Levy asked
"no Of course not" Lucy said.
"Ohh?" Levy looked to her with an 'all seeing eye'
"You're lying Lucy. YOU LIIIIKE HIM!" Levy teased.
Lucy blushed furiosly. " Yeah. And? He probably likes someone else!"
"And who would that be huh Lucy?"
"Well, there's Rose and Lisanna an-"
"Did I hear my name?" Lisanna asked. She was drinking a glass of water a few seats away
"Hey Lisanna do you like Natsu?" Levy asked straight out.
Lisanna almost choked and began coughing. "NATSU? Are you *cough*crazy? Liking Natsu *cough* is like having a crush on your brother!" Lisanna drank from her water again just to calm down."I never even thought of Natsu like that so you must be crazy. We may have played house before, but that was because we were KIDS!"
"well that's Lisanna out of the possibilities of who Natsu likes."
"You guys are trying to find out who Natsu likes?" Lisanna asked. She moved up closer to them to join the conversation.
"Well yeah it's normal to find out who Natsu likes if Lucy likes Natsu-"
"Lucy kick!"
Levy was left on the floor and Lucy continued blushing on her seat while Lisanna sweatdropped. " So you like Natsu. Hmmm..." Lisanna began thinking.
"What is it~" whine Lucy.
"Shhh I'm trying to combine my knowledge of Natsu as his childhood friend and my inner MiraJane"
"You're inner MiraJane?"
"Hai. We're siblings. We all were born from matchmaking parents. Mira is just more. Active"
'O-okay" Lucy shuddered. One Mira was enough but three?
Lisanna's eyes opened. She was shaking within herself, forcing to keep her matchmaking mind to a minimum. "Yeah he likes you too."
and that was it. That's all she said.
"Really? How can you tell?"
"Well the way he looks at you, the way he smiles, the way that he is more hyper around you, how he is so comfortable about sneaking into your house, the meals that you guys eat together in the middle of the night because he and Happy are hungry and when your talking with other men in the guild, straight after you finish talking with them, a mysterious strawberry cake just magically appears under their foot and Natsu shouts really loudly 'Oh you stepped on Erza's cake! she's gonna kill you' . You two are practically married how are you two not dating?" Lissana ranted.
Lucy blinked and began to blush furiously. m-married couple? First a dream about kids and now a married couple? She thought
Levy, now revived and alive looked at Lucy. As Lucy's other best friend Levy knew she was hiding something, other than the fact thata she likes no LOVES Natsu.
" Lu-chan you're hiding something from us."
"Eh how can you tell Levy-chan?" Lisanna questioned.
"Easy. Her left shoulder's are twitching in time with the corner of her lips, her hair is slightly straying and from time to time she sighs out in deep frustration and messess her hair up, only to randomly look normal again and start laughing even when no one said anyhing."
"Oh, good observation Levy-chan"
"Thankyou, now Lu-chan, spill. What are you hiding"
The two girls loomed over her. Lucy could feel cold sweat go down her neck. "Etto, I'll tell you once you guys sit down and stop scaring me like that okay?"
"HAI!"
Lucy told them about the dream that she has had ever since the night of Levy's date. ( "Eh Levy went on a date with Gajeel?"- Lisanna) and that she woke up really excited and happy, but while her left hand was on her stomach instead of under her head. She also mentioned that combined with Lisanna saying married couple, that she felt a little, overwhelmed.
Levy and Lisanna began to giggle. "Lucy-chan you don't have a crush on Natsu. YOU LOOOOVVE HIM" The girls teased. But it was probably true. Lucy didn't resist. She had her knees up on the bar stool now. The exact same position that Natsu was in on the other side of the guild.
In the Master's room
"Master, remember you found a pink haired boy on your journeys, his name Natsu Dragneel. You sent the message to me by mail. You even sent a photo of him. You did that with every guild member you found while on your travels. Do you remember that?"
"Of course I did child. You were the only person I actually sent those letters to."
"Well, after that letter, I was still very young, about four. And I was already able to read, write, cook and fight"
Flashback...
"Ehh another letter from gramps!" a little Rose said. she tiptoed to get the letter from the mail box. when she finally got it she giggled at all the funny things that Master Makarov did."
"Guhu. Oh he found another guild member to be! I wonder who." She looked at the photo and almost dropped it. Her eyes widened. The letter dropped from her hand. Tears began to form on her large eyes.
"Gramps found him."
End of Flashback..
"Master, I left because I wanted not because I wanted to get stronger, I left because I was a coward. A young stupid coward that could not face Natsu Dragneel."
"What nonsense are you talking child. Did Natsu seem to be that annoying on the letter?"
"No, I left because I was too much of a coward to ask the questions that brought me to this guild. I left, because I wasn't able to face,
my biological big brother Natsu"
Was that a cliff hanger? I dunno but meh.
If this was good or bad tell me. I need to get better at writing.
