Chapter Three: Do we get an 'And They Lived Happily Ever After'?

After a dizzy ride on the Mad Tea Party Carrousel, Lucy and Alisa bought some cotton candy. Alisa happily plucked at her treat and Lucy smiled, "Alisa, don't you think it's time to get back to your mom and dad?"

"I don't know." She set her cotton candy down and balled her fists on her lap, Lucy could see tear droplets fall unto her skirt. "Mama's sick, so Papa has to work hard. He really loves Mama, but he doesn't love me so he doesn't pay any attention to me."

Lucy hugged her, "No, don't think that. Your Papa loves you. He works hard so your Mama can get better. That way you'll have both a Mama and a Papa." Through tears Alisa hugged her back and the two sobbed silently, completely forgetting about their cotton candy.

"Jerry we have to find her," Marissa cried into her husband's chest. "I know Marissa," he stroked her hair, "I know." Jeremiah began to cry himself, "It's all my fault. If I had just followed her to that ride she wanted she wouldn't have gone off on her own." He turned to Natsu, "Your friend was right I needed to spend time with her as her family. Please, you're a mage right? I beg of you, find my daughter. I'll pay you any price, just please find my precious daughter."

Natsu walked up to them, "I'll find her, but my friend and I don't want the money. I'm sure we'll both be happy if you just spend time with your daughter like she wants you to." Jeremiah nodded and Natsu, along with Happy, dashed off.

Lucy and Alisa were wiping away their tears when they heard a voice call out to them. "Why, don't cry pretty ladies."

Lucy looked up to see two men had walked up to them. "Pretty ladies such as yourselves shouldn't have tears in their eyes." The man who spoke was tall and lean. He had a curly mustache and thick bushy eyebrows. His partner was a few inches short than he was, but too had a curled mustache and bushy eyebrows.

Alisa held Lucy tightly and they stood. "We were actually just leaving," she said and held Alisa's hand, preparing to run off.

The taller man grabbed a hold of Alisa's hair, "What's the rush, we actually wanted to meet with the young Miss Alygris." The other man grabbed Lucy's hand and she tried to fight back, but it gave the tall man the chance to completely grab a hold of Alisa.

"Alisa!" Lucy cried. She struggled to free herself from her captor, but it was no use. He was slender, but well built. "You see," the man who held Alisa said, "Miss Alygris' daddy just fired us. So we need some money. I'm sure you'll fetch a high price from him won't you little Miss?"

Lucy slowly fought against her captor to reach her keys. She nearly had them when the man suddenly let her go. Through the corner of her eyes she saw a white scarf fluttering in the air. She immediately knew who it was.

"Natsu!" she said and he held her. "Gosh Lucy you had me worried." Jeremiah and Marissa were right behind him and called out to their daughter. Heat rose to Lucy's face as she wiggled out of Natsu's grasp, "They have Alisa."

"I overheard them," his hands were lit in flames, "don't underestimate a Dragon Slayer's ears." He slowly walked up to the man who held on to Alisa. The kidnapper slowly backed away, "Please," he pleaded, "Don't hurt me."

"You hurt my friends and you expect me not to hurt you?" Natsu said in calm anger. The man let Alisa go and she ran towards Lucy. The man knelt down, "Please, my name's Frederick, I was just desperate. Without my job my family was beginning to starve. My friend over there, Kyle, is in the same situation. His mother is sick and he needs to continue to buy her medicine." Kyle knelt beside him and they both asked for forgiveness.

"I know you two," said Jeremiah, "I fired you for taking some of the silver in the mines."

'We're sorry," said Frederick, "but we were desperate. Our salaries weren't going to cut it anymore, and we didn't know any other way to support our families."

Jeremiah looked at his wife and daughter, then at the two men. One was a father just like he was, the other was a son who was trying to help his sick mother. Both were trying to support their families.

Jeremiah sighed, "If you two promise to not steal from me again, I'll rehire the both of you. I'll even give you guys a raise, but it would mean you'll have to work a lot harder."

The two men were shocked, "Of course!" Kyle said, "Thank you sir! We promise we won't steal and we'll work hard." They took off before Jeremiah could change his mind and Lucy let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

Jeremiah turned to his daughter, "Alisa, I am so sorry." He fell to his knees and began to sob, "I'm sorry for being such an awful father to you."

Alisa ran towards her father, "Papa!" she hugged him and cried too, "You're not awful Papa. I love you!" Marissa walked up to her family and hugged them as well. With the three of them reunited Lucy joined up with Natsu.

"Thank you Natsu," she told him. "What for?" he asked as she hugged him, "For saving Alisa and me."

Natsu chuckled, "Of course Lucy, just as Aladdin saves Jasmine, I'll always save you."

Natsu took Lucy's hand and they held each other for a moment. Time seem to have stopped for the both of them until the sound of Jeremiah clearing his throat brought them back to Earth, "Sorry to interrupt you two, but I would like to express my gratitude."

Happy teased the both of them as he climbed into Lucy's arms, "They like each other!"

Jeremiah laughed and handed Natsu a pouch, "Please accept this. It's not much but I want you three to have it."

Natsu looked inside the bag and Jeremiah continued to speak, "It's about fifty thousand jewels. It's not much, but I hope it'll be helpful to you all."

Natsu looked at Lucy and they both smiled. Even without words they understood each other. He handed Jeremiah the pouch back, "We're just happy you guys are going to get along now. Besides you can use this money for your family."

Jeremiah shook his head, "Please I insist. That money is being used for my family. I'm giving it to the people who made me realize that the one thing my family needed more than anything, was me."

Alisa and Marissa smiled, they both encouraged them to keep the pouch. When everything settled down, the Alygris family waved goodbye and once again it was just the three of them. It was already evening and the trio returned to their tent. Walter had thanked them and gave them their pay as well during their dinner together. Once they made sure all their belongings were packed up, they took one last stroll around the festival grounds.

"That was an interesting day," said Happy as he ate a small, raw fish. "I had a great time," said Natsu, "How about you Luce, had fun being with us?"

Lucy smiled, "Of course, when I'm with you guys it's never boring."

"Hey you guys!" they overheard the group of friends near them, "I saw a cute little lady in the nearest town! She had blue hair and had a white cat with her."

The trio smiled and even without saying it, they knew who they would be finding first on their mission to bring Fairy Tail back together.

Natsu took Lucy's hand, "Off we go!" Lucy smiled and ran with him as Happy soared high above them.

THE END! I hope you guys liked my short story!
