Title: Makeover

A/N: I wanted to write in my fanchildren here when I first saw the prompt, but I didn't realize how hard it was to write them in. I also tried to keep this story from getting too sappy and stuff, so I hope it worked.

It was one of those rare times when Natsu took a day off from the guild. There had been a strong thunderstorm going on in Magnolia the past few days, and the townspeople were advised to stay indoors until the weather calmed down. Normally, he'd be helping Lucy out around the house, but ever since she had to meet up with her publisher in another town for her latest book last week, it had just been him and their daughters in the house.

"Ow, that hurts!"

"Please stop squirming, Mimi! It only hurts if you keep moving around."

"Maybe if you didn't brush so hard-"

As soon as Natsu heard the younger girl's scream, he headed over to the living room. When he got there, he saw his daughters sitting down on the floor, surrounded by hairbands, combs, and ribbons. Luna, the older girl, was in the middle of brushing part of her sister's hair. Mimi, on the other hand, with one side of her blonde hair already braided, gave her sister a very annoyed look.

"What's going on over there?" Natsu asked them.

"Mimi here wanted me to braid her hair."

"Yeah, and she's brushing way too hard-OW!"

"Hey! You asked for my help. It's not my fault your hair's all tangled up like this." Luna retorted back as she started braiding her sister's hair.

"Do you need any help there, Luna?" Natsu asked, very amused by their fighting.

"Ah, no thanks, Papa. I'm already halfway done by now," Luna replied as she continued on with her braiding. "Besides, it'd probably look uneven if I let someone else finish this."

"Fine, I'll just watch you two here," Natsu said as he sat down on one of the chairs.

"Just a few more and… I'm done!" Luna smiled and gave her sister a small hand mirror. "What do you think?"

Mimi took a look at her new braids in the mirror. "I like them, Lu-nee! They're really neat!" She looked away from the mirror to her father. "Wait…I'm gonna go get something first" she said as she went to the other room.

"Well, since you're done there," Natsu grabbed a comb and sat down on the floor behind his daughter, "I'd like to tie your hair up, just like before."

The young girl was surprised by her father's words. "Papa, you don't have to do that, it's fine."

"No? You used to love it when I tied your hair" he said while combing her long pink hair, "I want to do it again."

Luna flinched in embarrassment. "I'm not a little girl anymore, Papa…" she said as she puffed her cheeks

"I know, but you'll always be one to me. Hey, can you give me some of those ribbons there?"

Luna grabbed a hairband and a blue ribbon near her hand and gave them to Natsu. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Natsu began to comb her hair. "You know, Mama used to wear a blue ribbon like this on her hair before."

"Really?"

"Yeah. When I first met her, her hair was all bunched up like this," he said as he grabbed a fistful of her hair. "And I think she tied it over this side here.." he continued as he used the hairband and tied it around. "And then, I think the ribbon came after that…and there! All done!" he smiled.

Luna quickly grabbed the hand mirror and looked at her reflection. Her hair wasn't exactly tied up as neatly as she hoped it would, she felt the elastic of the hairband slowly start to slip off, but the ribbon…she loved the way it looked on her.

"If you don't like it, I can just-"

"No,don't" she interrupted him. "I really like it. Thank you, Papa" she smiled sweetly to her father.

The sound of footsteps suddenly came near the room. "I'm back!" Mimi said, carrying a small pink box by its handle.

"Wait a minute, is that Mama's old make-up kit?!" Luna asked her sister in an alarmed tone.

"Yeah, I always wanted to play with it here," she said excitedly as she opened the box.

"Does this mean you want to get a makeover?"

"Oh, it's not me who's getting a makeover…" she said with a smirk on her face as she looked at her father.

"I'm back! Natsu, are you there?" Lucy called out as she entered in from the front door.

Natsu turned to his daughters first, but was faced with only their snickering and requests of "c'mon, show it to her." He finally went up to his wife and tried to greet her with from the doorway. "Hey, Lucy."

Lucy started to laugh really hard the moment she saw Natsu's face. "Oh my goodness, Natsu, what happened to your face?" she managed to say between fits of laughter. "Girls, did you have something to do with this?"

The two girls looked at each other with smug grins on their faces.

"Maybe…"

"We just tried to make Papa prettier, is all…"
