Ch11: Training with Metalicana

Lucy POV:

I wrote a letter for my mom when I woke up and put it in the box full of other letters for my mom. Then, I went to bathe and get ready. When I was finished, I went to eat breakfast, and this time, it was just Metalicana.

"Yo! Let's get going."

"But I didn't eat yet."

"It's okay. There's nothing left anyways. I ate it all."

"Nani!? What if I faint from hunger!? I'm not the only hungry one, Nashi is too!"

"Nashi? Who's Nashi?"

"My baby girl… duh."

"Who came up with that name? You? Ahaha! You think of the weirdest names!"

"I did in fact. I combined my name and Natsu's name together to get Nashi. Got a problem with that?" I glared at him and he backed away.

I sat down and asked the maid to make more food. She brought it right away. I munched and munched until I got tired of eating, which was 2 hours. Metalicana was asleep so I had to wake him up. I yelled at him to wake up, but he wouldn't even move. Then, I punched him on his head.

"Ow! What was that for!?"

"Heh… it actually hurted you? Do I punch harder than Yuuki?"

"Wh… what are you talking about? I only said "Ow" to make you feel strong, but you're really weak." I shifted my head down remembering what Gray said to me. "You did nothing wrong. It's just we've been thinking that Lisanna could take your spot since she's stronger than you. Plus, you need money for your rent too."

Metalicana apologized, "I was just kidding… you're very strong… your punch actually hurted me, so don't cry. I can't deal with crying people."

I looked up and smiled. Then I tippy toed and ruffled his hair. "Let's go." We went outside and Metalicana flew me to a forest. 'Great… whenever someone takes me to a forest, they abandon me only. Oh well… I'm used to staying in the forest.' Surprisingly, he didn't ditch me. He stayed with me and trained me just like Igneel did.

2 Months Later

I mastered iron dragon slaying magic. Metalicana and Igneel are so alike. Their personalities are the same and they are both weird.

I got on Metalicana and we flew off. We had a little conversation. Metalicana started it off though.

"So… how is Gajeel doing?"

"He's doing great. He's really quiet and doesn't talk much, but he's really nice."

"Oh… so has he gotten a mate yet?"

"No, not yet… but he will pretty soon."

"Who's this girl? Is she nice?"

"Her name's Levy McGarden. She's my best friend and likes reading just as much as I do. She's a sweet and nice girl. I think Gajeel and her will make such a perfect couple."

"Well, if you say so. I'll know when I see her."

Then, we arrived at the castle. I skipped lunch and went to my room. I went to the lacrima and contacted Master Makarov. Before I left to train with Metalicana, I told Little Igneel to go to the human realm to get me a lacrima and tell Makarov about it. Now, we can talk as long as we want and we can see each other's faces. When Master answered the call, I made sure not to show below my neck.

"Hey Mas… no Makarov…"

"Lucy… you can still call me master… and hi Lucy! How've you been? I miss you so much! Are you training hard?"

"Haha. I've been doing fine. Training has been so difficult… but I won't give up. I miss you too! I miss everyone… so… has Natsu stopped drinking?"

"Yes and no. He doesn't drink as much anymore when he's in the guild, but he still drinks once in a while. I don't know what he does outside of the guild either. Like I said, he doesn't come to the guild much. Only when he comes to get a drink or a mission."

"I see… at least he's not drinking a lot because I don't know what he'll do to Lisanna if he's drunk."

"Did he do something when he was drunk before?"

"Uh… no…"

"But why did you mention Lisanna? I would be more worried about Natsu himself."

"He likes her doesn't he?"

"No way! Or at least I think. Ever since you left, he's been worrying about you only. He doesn't even talk to her anymore. Heck, he doesn't even talk to anyone! Maybe only Happy."

"He's probably gonna talk to everyone again after this month."

"I can't say for sure, but I've got to go Lucy. I'll talk to you later. Bye!"

"Bye Master!" The lacrima turned back to being clear. All of a sudden, a pain struck my stomach.

Neko: Hehe… yeah… very short chapter… I got lazy…

Lucy: At least this means Nashi will be born very soon…

Neko: Yep! Oh yeah, I will be skipping the other dragon training. Gomen! Please Review!
