I updated! Hehe...IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! I'm a PRETEEN! Yahoo! *cheers*
Anyway, I got SUPER addicted to Sword Art Online AND Guilty Crown that I've forgotten Fairy Tail! (though, not literally, you know I can't)
Like, Shuu Ouma(with Gai as my second), from Guilty Crown, is so HOT! (eyes roll at the back of my head while fanning myself) I could faint! Kyaa!
Anyway, before I go ta-da-sha-ha-bla-blah-bleh,
Let's start? Aye!
"Lucy, you're back!" they said, launching at her.
But it wasn't long until they were pushed back by Sting, who was smirking.
"Back off, Dragneel. Let me finish my business." he stated, coughing blood.
Lucy looked at him.
"Nah," she declined, covering her yawn.
A vein popped on Sting's forehead.
"But seriously though, I'm beat. I just had to track down a key. And you're smashed. So, how about we ran along to our holes?" Lucy asked, yawning once again as tears were already forming on the sides of her eyes.
Sting was about to speak when Lucy disappeared.
"Ne, Natsu-san?"
...
"Natsu-san?"
...
And he just noticed Natsu and Happy left.
He sighed and headed towards his own guild from visiting Fairy Tail.
Natsu and Happy, mainly Natsu, rushed towards their guild to inform that their(his) partner was back.
Natsu was too eager to be at the guild that he failed to notice Happy was far behind him.
'Natsu.'
Nothing stopped him as the guild came to his view.
'My Son of a— Natsu Dragneel! You stop, NOW!'
That made him freeze.
"Igneel?" he asked. "Where are you?!"
He was confused, excited, happy. Those were the emotions running through his veins.
'Quiet, idiot. Yes, it is me. Princess sent me here on your brain. I can't believe I raised an idiot like you. What she said was right, you are an idiot.'
Natsu stared at the space idiotically.
"Princesses were girls? I thought Princesses were boys..." he murmured.
'—Ack! Natsu! Seriously?! That clearly is just common sense!'
'Well that's the point. I told you he missed common sense.' a new girl's voice was stuck in Natsu's head.
'A—Ah, your Majesty! What are you doing here?' Igneel asked.
'Eh... Knocking some sense through your son's brain' the princess answered.
"Wait, Luce, is that you?" he asked, looking at his every direction.
'Yes. Now,' Lucy says, yawning, 'Be a good boy and come to my apartment. I'll give you something.'
"A present! I'm so in!" he shouted eagerly, before running the other way.
'Oh and... Bring Happy.' Lucy says, still yawning.
Natsu eagerly ran towards Lucy's house.
As he passed Happy, he grabbed his partner's tail. The action made Happy yelp in pain.
"Natsu!" Happy whined in pain.
"Happy!" Natsu called, grinning. "Lucy has a present for us in her apartment!"
"Big fish~" Happy said out loud, drooling on Natsu's shoulder.
"Luce! We're here!" Natsu called out, jumping from the window.
"Well, help yourselves," Lucy informed.
"That's it? No Lucy Kick? Lucy Punch? Loke? Pervert Bull? Goat Head? No—" Natsu began listing this what she would usually do when he enters her house.
"No?" Lucy asked, not sure.
That's when Happy and Natsu broke into tears.
The next thing that happened was both were clinging on her feet.
"Lucy!" they cried.
The said mage sighed, shaking her head.
"Idiots," she muttered.
"Oh hey, Grandeeney, Igneel and Metalicana. What is it that you need?"
"Oh! No, you didn't bother me at all, in fact, I was very thankful that you three interrupted."
"What? No, everything's fine, Grandeeney. Apparently yes, it is your son, Igneel."
Lucy giggled.
"Hey, you did raise him, did you not?"
Lucy lets them fight in her head. It wasn't like she was not used to it; Weisslogia and Yuki used to argue and shout in her head.
Happy sobbed louder and Natsu stood up.
"I want to talk to Igneel too!" the fire mage shouted.
"It's our fault for letting her leave and now she's big coo coo fishes!" Happy cried.
Lucy laughed at both of them, sitting on the bed. She held out her arms for them.
"Come on, give your partner a welcome back hug." she said, smiling.
That time, Happy stopped crying and Natsu stopped shouting. The dragon slayer and exceed grinned, launching themselves at her.
"Luce!"
"Lushy!"
Both happily said, using their own nicknames for her.
Lucy smiled, hugging them back with much love.
She felt liquid running down her cheeks and noticed that the dragons inside her head were quiet.
"Tears?" Lucy asked.
"Tears." Natsu assured her. "Tears of joy."
"I'm so happy, Natsu," Lucy had informed him when they parted.
"Me too," he said.
"And I'm so glad you raised him, Igneel. You raised him well." Lucy says.
Natsu grinned. "You're the best, Luce!"
"No, you guys are."
That's when they noticed Happy was asleep.
"Ne, Luce, can I talk to Igneel again?"
Lucy hums in approval and closes her eyes.
'Natsu! I'm so proud of you! You made Princess proud of me!' Igneel boasted.
Lucy giggled.
'Could you shut up?!'
"That's Metalicana, Gajeel's 'over-grown' lizard." Lucy introduced.
'Ha! You're just jealous that my son is better than yours! Gajeel beat Princess up instead of helping her!' Igneel, once again, boasted.
Lucy giggled.
Metalicana growled.
"Come with me, Natsu." Lucy called out.
Natsu obeyed, following her.
Lucy led Natsu somewhere with large space.
"By the magic in me, I summon Igneel!" she chanted.
Her red piercing glowed as the glow transferred to the space.
"Dad!" Natsu called out, hugging his foster father's leg.
"Why did you leave, Igneel? I waited for you, I searched for you everywhere!" Natsu cried.
"My son, there are a lot of things that you don't know and shouldn't know..." Igneel explained.
Lucy watched the two catch up with each other happily.
"Isn't it nice that they are back together?" Lucy asked.
'Yes, Princess,' Yuki chimed happily.
"Oh, hi Yuki, Weiss and Skia," Lucy greeted.
Silence overtook the three dragons and Lucy.
'Princess,' Weisslogia started, breaking the ice, 'when will you be able to summon us freely?'
Lucy froze, thinking of his question, wisely.
"To be honest, I don't know. I think when I'm strong enough." Lucy says, sighing.
'But Princess, you're strong enough.' Yuki confronted her.
"You really think so?" she asked.
'If you were weak, I wouldn't be here talking to you,' Skiadrum confessed.
Lucy smiled, "Thanks guys. Then, I guess when I found my real happiness," she explained.
"Are you ready?" Natsu asked her.
Lucy took at deep breath, staring at the gigantic Fairy Tail door in front of her.
"Yes." she answered, smiling.
Natsu grinned, pushing the doors open.
"Hey, everybody!" Natsu shouted at them, gaining their attention. "Look who I brought with me!"
A familiar red-head slammed her cake on the table, glaring at her companion.
"This better be worth my snack." she claimed.
"Oh, it will, Erza." Natsu says, grinning.
"Minna!" Lucy shouted happily.
All heads turned to her, frozen.
"I'm back and won't ever leave!" Lucy shouted happily.
"Lucy!" they all called out, happily, running to her.
