Reunion

It was late in the day, probably around six or seven o'clock. The town was bustling and busy as ever with merchants in the down town packing up for the night and workers running back and forth whether it be for last minute errands or simply trying to get somewhere.

In the middle of down town sits a popular restaurant, obviously popular considering the village didn't have many. It was lit up and full of chatter and music. Taking a look inside you would see people partying and having a good time. Residents of the town would bring instruments and playing songs to get people dancing and having fun. Many people would just sit and eat, chatting about stories and rumors. Manly the one about some big dark guild that just got taken down by a group of mages.

Elipton danced at the center, surrounded by a crowd that clapped to the beat of the song as she twirled around with Noir on her elbow.

Natsu weaved her way through the crowd, two big trays of food balanced in her hands. "Excuse me, oh sorry, pardon-WHOAH!" She went flying forward, barely managing to catch herself as two small bodies went barreling past her.

"Eric! Aaron! You need to watch out you'll get stepped on!" Natsu snapped at them. The two boys turned around with big grins.

"Sorry momma!" One said.

"We just want to join Aunt Elipton and uncle Noir!" The other finished before scurrying back into the crowd.

Natsu shook her head at her sons. She loved them to death but they were a crazy handful. She went back to delivering the food.

Eric was the "technical oldest" having been born a few seconds before his brother. He was practically a clone of Cobra. Same her color, just as tan and based on why Cobra had said looks exactly like he did as a kid. Only difference was Eric had Natsu's onyx eyes. Aaron instead had pink hair with tan skin and bright purple eyes. You wouldn't even think the two were twins. The only thing that made them twins was the exact same looking face. They basically look like each other with different hair and eye color. They both had Natsu's energetic and boastful personality, even at age six.

Natsu delivered the food and returned to the kitchen where Cobra was ordering people around.

"That soup needs more chives, get that please Leon? And I need more sirloin pulled from the freezer I just stuck the last of it on the grill, don't let it burn Shura!" The poison mage waved his arm around as his little team of cooks moved about like a well oiled machine. Not questioning his orders and just following them. Cobra spotted his wife and smiled moving over to her where she leaned in the door way.

"What's up Hun?"

"Nothing much the boys are off dancing." She flicked his little chefs hat in amusement. "You wanna join them?"

Cobra looked like he was thinking. "Hmmm, hey Leon you got everything here?"

A blonde mans head came out from bellow the counter. "Yeah I got this go have fun with your wifey."

Cobra laughed and threw his hat off. Natsu grabbed his hand and happily dragged him out to where everyone was dancing. Elipton and Noir saw them and moved over to make more room.

"Deciding to join us I see?" Elipton teased.

Cobra took both Natsu's hands and they danced together. "Got a problem with that?"

"Not at all!"

The married couple danced whole heartedly to the happy up beat music, spinning, and jumping and just having a good time. There was one point Cobra spun Natsu and tipped her backwards so head head almost touched the floor. She laughed as he brought her back up.

"Momma! Papa! We wanna dance too!" Eric and Aaron ran in from the crowd around them and latched onto their legs.

Cobra laughed and pulled Aaron up onto his shoulders. Erica puffed out his cheeks. "No fair!"

Natsu laughed and took her sons little hands. "You can dance with me little man."

Eric laughed and stuck his tongue out at Aaron and then was taken away to dance. Cobra just followed the movement of the crowd as other people joined in to dance and have fun.

"Like the view Aaron?" Cobra asked looking around for Natsu but couldn't.

"I do Papa! I'm so tall!" The little boy looked excitedly around the room. He could see Elipton dancing with Noir, could see the cooks and waiters moving around. He noticed a red haired woman was watching him intently. He stared back curiously. She kept watching him for a while.

Aaron tapped his dads head. "Papa... That woman keeps watching me..."

Cobra paused and moved out of people's way. "What woman?"

"That one." He say the little pink haired boy point and followed his finger to a woman sitting at a table in a far corner with two other people. Her eyes flicked from Aaron to Cobra and she stared with a glint shining in them.

Cobra stared back wondering who she was and why she was familiar to him. A super old ex girlfriend maybe?

"Hey Cobra!" Natsu cheered happily coming over with Eric in her arms. She grabbed his arm so she wouldn't lose him in the crowd. The red haired woman's gaze flicked to Natsu her brown eyes widened incredibly. "I just noticed-"

It was ten it clicked in Cobra's head on who that woman was. She started weaving through the crowd quickly towards them. Her two companions calling after her.

Cobra quickly pulled Aaron from his shoulders and steared Natsu around and to the kitchen. "We have to go."

"What why what's going on?" Natsu true to look behind her but Cobra kept moving her forward.

"Trust me..." He glanced behind him to see the woman still coming. He cursed in his head and opens the door with his shoulder. "Leon is the back door unlocked?"

The blonde looked confused. "Uh yeah shura was just out there why-"

"When a red haired woman comes through here don't let her follow us."

"Uh okay but-"

"What?" Natsu looked at him confused. "Red haired woman? Cobra who is that, is someone chasing you?"

"Not me." Cobra hissed and pushed her to the back door. He nodded to Leon and closed the back door behind him.

"Cobra what's going in?" Natsu hissed, getting irritated for being left out.

"Papa what's going on..." Eric asked sounding scared. He was clutching Natsu for dear life and watched him with confused onyx eyes.

"It'll be okay." Cobra handed Aaron the Natsu and she put both boys behind her.

"Cobra... What's going on?" Natsu hissed, looking scared now.

"Natsu?"

Cobra froze and grit his teeth. He slowly turned around to see a blonde girl. A small animal was at her feet. Natsu saw her too. She instantly moved herself and the boys behind Cobra's big figure.

A dark haired boy joined the girl and the door behind them burst open making the children scream and latch onto their mother. The red haired woman came out of the now damaged for frame weird long a long sharp sword.

Eric and Aaron screamed and started to cry. "Momma what's happening?!"

"Make the scary people go away!" They both sobbed into Natsu's dress trying to hide under it.

"Momma?" The blonde girl asked.

The red haired woman approached Natsu and she stared back, defiance, fear and shock all mixed in her eyes. She recognized the woman in a heart beat.

She stopped in front of her and they stared at each other for a long time, before the red head spoke up.

"What's your name."

Natsu gripped her dress strongly, she could hear Cobra growling deeply most likely wanting to attack anyone that moved

Natsu gave a blunt reply. "You know the answer to that Erza."

So many emotions passed through the Titania's eyes. Her sword vanished from her hand and she instantly pulled Natsu into a hug. "We thought you died..."

"I might as well have..." Natsu mumbled back.

"What are you talking about?" Erza asked worriedly.

"Get away!" Cobra shouted to the blonde and black haired people. They had tried coming over along with a cat but he shouted at them. "You're unwanted here..."

"Cobra calm down it's to late anyway..." Natsu whispered to him. He glanced back sadly then stood up strait, still glaring at the other two.

"Natsu...? Is it really you?"

The pinkette looked down to see Happy looking up at her with teary eyes. He resisted the strong urge to snatch up her old companion and hug him till he suffocate in her breasts.

"M-momma..." Eric whimpered as he rubbed his red eyes. "That cat can talk..."

"Momma?" Erza asked staring at Natsu then noticed the boobs and longer hair and more feminine features. She blushed greatly and jumped back surprised. "Y-your a- a..."

A tick mark popped up on Natsu's head. "Yes I'm a woman now!"

Lucy and Gray's jaws dropped. "Say what?!"

Cobra sighed irritated now. "This sucks. Natsu we need to take care of this at home. I'll have Eli take care of the restaurant..."

Natsu nodded then looked down at her sons. "Boys... We're going to go back home now okay? These purple are nice they won't hurt us."

"Are they friends?" Aaron asked holding a fistful of her dress. Natsu looked up at her former guild mates and sighed.

"I don't know..."

"So you're really a woman now Natsu...?" Lucy asked. She sat on the couch next to Gray and Erza, Happy seated in her lap. Natsu sat across from them, Cobra stood behind the couch watching them intently and the boys were playing on the ground behind Cobra.

"Yes... I am..."

"How did this happen?" Gray asked.

Natsu looked down. Even now, practically ten years later she still couldn't talk about it. That horrible time imprisoned. Cobra put a hand in her shoulder and spoke for her.

"You're aware of what happened to the dragon slayers all those years ago?"

"Yes." Erza said seriously. "Laxus, Wendy and Gajeel all returned to us... Broken in body and soul..."

"We were there too..." The tan male said sadly. "It wasn't fun... It's taken forever for us to get over it... And we still have nightmares."

"We're sorry." Lucy offered. Natsu gave her a grateful smile and Cobra continued.

"There was a point where... They cut my eye open..." He lowered his voice so the kids behind him didn't hear. "It got infected and I was dying..."

Natsu brought a hand up to hold his. She was uncomfortable with the memory. He squeezed it to comfort her.

"Natsu offered up her body in exchange for my medical treatment... I lost my eye and she lost her male body..."

"They changed you into a girl..." Lucy looked horrified.

"You must have gone through the same as Wendy..." Erza muttered.

Natsu felt tears brim in her eyes. It was not hard for her to remember the screams of the little sky maiden as she too was rapped in the room next door.

"How are the others?" She asked in a small voice.

Lucy smiled. "Better. Wendy started smiling again, Natsu and Carle are always around her... Helping her."

"Gajeel is more distant than before." Erza said. "He's almost normal as well... Back to being rude and obnoxious"

Natsu chuckled at that. "That's good. And Laxus?"

They all looked grim. Gray spoke now.

"I guess... Cobra wasnt the only one to loose a body part..."

"What happened?" Natsu asked worriedly. Her grip tightened on Cobra's hand.

"He can't talk anymore. They... Removed his vocal cords pretty violently...His neck is all kinda of messed up."

"Oh god..." Natsu said, letting her husbands hand go and covering her mouth. "That's horrible..."

"No." Erza growled. "What's horrible as that the dark guild vanished. Completely gone, they tortured our friends to the brink of madness and we can't get revenge for them!"

She smashed her armor clad fist onto the coffee table making it clatter loudly. There was a yelp from behind the couch and the sound of whimpering. Everyone watched as Cobra quickly ducked down ad picked up a little boy, the one that looked most like him.

"Natsu..." Happy spoke up finally. The pinkette was surprised he didn't speak earlier. "What's happened all this time?"

Natsu smiled. "A lot Happy... And I don't regret any of it."

She told her story. From the moment of waking up at the lake getting her first taste of freedom to now, laughing with her family.

"So, you got married..." Erza said, blushing again. "And had a family..."

Happy smirked a little putting a paw over his mouth. "That means you and Cobra had-"

Lucy whacked him over the head. "Not now, FURBALL, there's children present..."

Erza seemed to be picturing things in her head because she was blushing mad and seemed to be day dreaming.

"Got to admit it flame brain." Gray said. He was takes as always, lounging on the couch. "Never imagined this kind if thing to happen when you got older."

A cave suddenly flew over Natsu's head and nailed Gray in the face. A blanket also followed covering up his body. Everyone looked to Cobra who still held Eric in his hands.

"Sorry. But I would prefer if you don't strut around naked around my wife and kids."

"Cobra relax..." Natsu chuckled. She enjoyed watching Gray take a vase to the face. Eric laughed a little too.

"So ahem!" Erza said drawing attention. "What are your sons names...?"

Natsu smiled proudly, "Cobra's holding Eric. And Aaron is over there. Aaron come say hi, they won't bite."

The little six year old slowly tottered around the couch holding a little stuffed dragon. "H-hi..."

"He's so cute!" Lucy cheered. "Natsu he's got your pink hair!"

The pinkette looked proud as she picked Aaron and held him in her lap. He latex against her chest and watched the mages silently.

"Well..." Natsu started. "I think it's time we asked what your doing here... And how you found us...

"It was pure chance!" Happy said. "We were on a mission taking out bad guys!"

"You mean that dark guild in the next town over?" Cobra asked. He moved around the couch and sat down next to Natsu, Eric looked passed out in his arms. "That was you guys?"

Lucy nodded proudly. "Mhm! We've been training hard for the upcoming grand magic games!"

"Speaking of those." Erza said. "Natsu, we want you to come back to Fair Tail. "

A tense silence fell on the group.

"What..?"

"Fairy tail is in bad condition..." Gray said, waking up from his little "nap." "We need every Mage we can get."

Natsu looked down. "The whole point of living here... With Cobra and my family... Was so I could forget about magic."

"But Natsu-" Lucy said but Cobra cut her off.

"You honestly expect us use magic again? After all the trouble it's caused us?"

"I wasn't asking for you to come." Erza said casting him a look.

Natsu snapped at her. "Cobra is my husband now! You can't just take me and leave him behind! "

"So you are coming back with us?" Happy asked hopefully.

"I never said that." Aaron shifted in her lap and she lowered her voice. He was asleep now. "I think it would be best if Cobra and I talked about this tomorrow." They both stood up, cobra leaving first to put Eric to bed. "Your welcome to stay the night... I'm not making any promises..."

She too then left. The three mages looked to each other anxiously. Happy watched his former friend go. So much tension was under one roof...

"Natsu you need to relax." Cobra said from his spot seated on the edge of their king sized bed.

"How can I relax?!" She said, almost sounding hysterical. She waved her arm to their bedroom door. "My old friends are down stairs asking me to come back to fairy tail! The ONE thing I don't want to do! That I never wanted to do!"

"Natsu," Cobra grabbed her hand and brought her close to him, holding her hands in his gently. "You need to keep your voice down and relax. You'll wake the boys and your friends will hear you..."

Natsu took a deep breathe but still didn't look happy. She leaned her head down so it rested on his shoulder. "I just... I don't know what to do..."

Cobra wrapped his muscled arms around her. "The boys have been asking about magic..."

"I know." She whispered.

"Their the kids of two strong dragon slayers... We need to teach them about magic eventually."

Natsu's shoulders started shaking. "But what about our life right now? Our friends, The Dragon's Den, our children... Are we just..." She took a shuttered breathe and leaned back to look him in the eye. She was on the brink of tears. "Are we going to throw all of this away? And go back to how it was before? When we still used magic?"

Cobra was pained to see his love so miserable and conflicted. He put a hand on her cheek and she nuzzled it gratefully, holding back tears as her breathe became sputtered and wheezy.

"The least we could do is help your old friends..." He said gently. Natsu's watery eyes looked to him. "They weren't lying when they said Fairy Tail was in bad condition... Some nasty stuff has happened, they've been gone for seven years and they can barely afford their already crappy new guild hall... I heard it all."

Natsu looked down again, at the hands Cobra held in his. She could see both their wedding bands glinting together, she can remember the words Cobra had etched to the inside of them. 'Together forever'

"All we're doing is helping them get back on their feet?" She looked in his eye. "After that, you promise we'll come back here?"

"I promise. We're not staying and we're not joining the guild." Natsu hugged her husband and he hugged her back.

"I guess I need to tell them were going home with them..." Natsu muttered with her pouty face.

The poison dragon chuckled. "You don't have to tell them tonight." He kissed her neck and she blushed.

"My friends are down stairs..."

"I know." He kissed her neck again.

"So they would probably hear us..."

"I accept that challenge." He yanked her onto the bed and she yelped and started laughing. That was soon quieted though as he kissed her deeply and held her close.
