Hello guys, I haven't updated for days maybe or maybe for weeks and that's because I thought I can finish a chapter in 'Girls vs. Boys' but sadly, I cannot. I also planned on deleting 'Love never dies' because I didn't know where it was going and I can't really work on it. Gomen Nnatsuki but I can't continue their love story :(. And also, I'm sorry about yesterday, because I didn't update, cause' you know, the usual, my key board, and if I use other key boards… I'm not used to it. The first one is very small so I get tired easily, and the next one was really… well I'm not comfortable using it and because I'm working on new stories.

-Again, I can't follow my schedule but I'll try to cause' knowing that people are reading my stories just makes me really happy!
-Arigatou! Nyan~ :3
Natsu's POV
I woke up early in the morning and smelled something really delicious! I mean it smelled like food and I LOVE food. Maybe Juvia was cooking. She's a really good cook I tell ya'. I went down stairs, and tried not to put the stairs on fire cause' you know excitement! Juvia was humming 'things I'll never say' by some singer, she told me it was her favorite song. I don't know why but she doesn't want to answer me why she likes it, so I gave up on asking her but I'm still curious.
"What ya' cooking?" I said as I looked at what she was cooking, she was really happy because she was smiling and I can tell that her smile wasn't a fake one.
"The usual, eggs, bacons, hot dogs, and I decided to add more eggs so that I can eat some." She said while cooking, she never takes her eyes off of the frying pan. Every day in Demon Tail she cooks 3 dozen of eggs, a pack of bacon and 7 packs of hotdogs. I really like hotdogs and eggs, so I told her to cook 3 dozen and 7 packs every day! And she agreed but she told me that she'll need my money to buy all those food and I agreed.
"Are you done?" I asked, my stomach was telling me that I was hungry! I don't want to disappoint Mr. Stomach.
"Yes, yes, I'm done." She rolled her eyes, placed the food in the table, took an orange juice inside the fridge, got two glasses and poured some orange juice in the two glasses, and lastly she place a glass beside my plate and did the same to her. When she was finished, she sat on a chair in front of me. We always do this every single day when we were in Demon Tail, we're like siblings. I treat her as my sister and she treats me as her brother. When someone hurt her, not physically because she can always protect herself, I always kick their stupid butts and make them pay for hurting my dear sister.
"Sis, when are you going to continue your flash back?" I asked while eating my breakfast, she almost choked, fortunately she didn't.
"Don't call me sis!"
"That's why you almost choked?" I asked, while she nodded
"Yes why? You thought I almost choked because of your question?" She smiled at me but in a weird way.
"U-huh"
"Don' say 'u-huh' because you almost sound like a girl!"
"What's wrong with saying 'u-huh'?" There it goes. My question being unanswered because she changed the topic! You're just so good Juvia! But why are you so good?!
"I just told you Natsu-san, you sound like a girl!"
"Juvia, can you call me 'Natsu-nee' instead? It's because we're like siblings and like that." I explained, she gave me a soft smile and there was a look on her face that said 'I'd love it'
"I will… Natsu-nee" And so, we continued eating, after eating we'll try and walk around to see the house. It's really comfortable here!
-In the guild-
Normal POV
"Attention everyone" Mira's voice stopped everyone from what they were doing. They turned their heads to look at Mira who was smiling brightly, they haven't seen that smile since 4 years ago, yes she smiles but her smiles were sad, some were faked, and some were just forced.
"I wanted to surprise Natsu and Juvia today, give them a surprise party, and I need one who'll stall them from coming here until I say so. So… who wants to volunteer? Please raise your hands." No one raised their hands, until a girl did. It was Nash\i; she went to the guild without her mom. Lucy was still crying but she just thought she was crying because she had a bad dream… well that was what she told her.
"Nashi? You want to volunteer?!" Everyone was shocked because they know that Nashi still doesn't know something…. Which I still can't tell you…
"Can I? It seems fun and all, so can I?" She asked the barmaid, she was doing the puppy eyes and Mira couldn't resist it anymore so she gave up
"Y-yes you can but, what'll you do to stall him?"She slapped herself mentally for stuttering
"I'll make him buy things for me." She smiled mischievously, Mira sweat dropped along with the others
"Can you change the plan?" They were worried that Natsu might get broke just by bringing this little devil in the mall and especially inside a restaurant or fast food. She can eat like a dragon… well she is half— erase, erase (*Hint*)
"I can… only if you play with me." Everyone knows what that means, but Mira glared at all of them so they could all agree.
"YES JUST PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PLAN!" Someone yelled
"Okay, bye~" Then she left
"Oh, Nashi" Was all Mira can say
-Natsu and Juvia's house-
-Normal POV-
"Juvia, can you please be faster? You've been in there for 2 hours now! I'm already done bathing and now I'm waiting for you downstairs so we can go to the guild!" Natsu shouted, he was downstairs waiting for her, standing near the stairs. Juvia felt irritated, she's a girl so he needs to expect her to bathe longer. A girl needs to take care of her body, right?
"More like complaining! Have you even gotten tired of talking A LOT?! Just wait for me there for a few minutes, I just need to find my clothes and we're off." She replied, she just finished taking a bath and now she's putting her clothes on, dried her hair and brushed it (Her hair)
"Natsu- nee, I'm finished! I'm going down now." She went downstairs only to see Natsu talking to a little girl, by the door.
"What you're trying to say is, we shouldn't go to the guild?"Natsu asked the little girl, who was nodding in response
"Yes, but later you can! Not just right now!" Juvia came closer to see who Natsu was talking to and when she did, she saw a girl with charcoal colored eyes, pink hair that was arranged into simple pig tails, she had a Fairy Tail stamp on her right hand, she was wearing an orange summer dress and she had a white body bag
"Isn't she the girl we saw yesterday in the mall?" Juvia put her hands on her waist, waiting for Natsu to talk.
"Yeah, I know."
"Nashi, right?" Juvia asked
"Yes! But can we do this inside? It's really getting hot out here." She was fanning herself using her hands, Natsu immediately went in and gestured her to come in
He chuckled, "I'm sorry, I forgot, we were talking to a lady so we should at least talk to her in a more… comfortable place." He said while scratching the back of his head. Juvia rolled her eyes while Nashi blushed, nobody I mean, nobody in her life has anybody called her a 'lady' not even her mom... well except for her father that is. But the way her father said it sounded than how Natsu said it.
"Nashi, do you want something to eat?" Juvia asked, walking inside the kitchen, leaving Nashi and Natsu alone. Juvia heard a small 'yes' before leaving.
"So Nashi, what's your mother's name?" Natsu asked out of blue, Nashi crossed her arms and said, "Momma's already taken!" Natsu just smiled at the 'lady' and gave a small smile
"Wow, you already know those things… but I'm not trying to hit on her. So please, tell?" Nashi sighed and gave up
"Okay, okay" She said lazily, "Momma's name's Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia!" She gave the man a smile that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but smile back
"Lucy Heartfilia? I thought she married 'Gray Fullbuster' that's why your name's Nashi Fullbuster, right?" Nashi looked at him with a blank expression; Natsu took a deep breath even though what he was going to say isn't that long.
"If you don't want to talk about it—"Before he could finish his sentence, Nashi cut him off
"It's okay I need to talk about it, I've been ignoring anyone who was talking to me about it." She gave him a determined look, "4 years ago, papa proposed to momma, she said yes but then this guy who had pink hair opened the door and things happened. They say he was salamander? I'm not really sure." She shrugged the thought off and continued, "Months later after being depressed, momma called the wedding off and they never married each other." Natsu's eyes widened in shock, "One day, she started vomiting and she was told that she was pregnant… and I was the child." She paused for a while and glanced at Natsu and continued talking, "And that papa was the father, when I was brought to this world, they all said that it wasn't papa who was my father and that it was someone else but momma doesn't know anyone that's a candidate to be my father except for papa and salamander." She bowed her head, looking sadly on her lap, while Natsu looked at her with longing eyes, maybe, just maybe, he was the father.
But that couldn't happen because they haven't done anything to make a child yet… except for that day ughh! He tried to forget that day, that embarrassing but special day.
"Salamander…" He muttered, he hadn't been called that since 4 years ago and he missed it. "Nashi how can you explain such things when you're just a three year old girl?" He asked, putting his hand on her small shoulders
"How do you know I'm three?" She gave him a confused but cute look
"I count" Nashi just looked at him and decided to answer his question, "You do know that momma was a smart kid when she was just a child, I got her brains." She was boating but Natsu didn't notice it.
He wanted to tease the girl about ice-princess and so he did, "I was scared that maybe you got your brain for ice-princess." He laughed while he messed Nashi's hair, which made her pout and fix it.
"Do you mean papa about ice princess?" She gave him a look that says 'tell the truth', but he didn't flinch or something close to it, he just answered her honestly, "Yes, but may I ask, how do you know about that?"
"I should be asking you that how did you know that nick-name uncle salamander always give him?" She answered his question while on the same time asking her question.
"Can I tell you that I am the salamander?" Nashi gasped and covered her mouth trying not to scream. She had been a fan of salamander, from the day her mother told her about him. The day she introduce him to her
"YOU'RE NATSU DRAGNEEL?!" She asked in disbelief, while Natsu only nodded, "YOU'RE THE FIRE DRAGON SLAYER?! YOU'RE SALAMANDER?!" She was pointing at Natsu who only kept nodding at each of her questions, Juvia who heard her shrieking, rushed out to the living room where the two are. She was holding a spatula, wearing an apron and her hair was tied into a messy pony tail. Even though her hair was messy, she looked beautiful.
"What happened?" She asked, walking near the two.
"I told her that I'm Natsu, the salamander. And she started to ask me questions." He explained
"YOU TOLD HER THAT?!" She asked almost yelling, okay, she was yelling!
"Yep"
"Natsu-san, can I have your autograph?"
"Juvia, I told you not to call me that—"He stopped when he realized that it wasn't Juvia who was talking, it was Nashi.
"Y-yes, you can?" He said more of a question than a statement, Nashi's face lightened up and she was jumping up and down non-stop.
"Here!" She handed Natsu a pen and a book that said, 'AUTOGRAPH BOOK'. Natsu awkwardly took the items, and opened the said book. He signed it and took an ink, for bonus, he dipped one of his fingers in the ink and pressed his inked finger on the paper. When he did that, Nashi's eyes sparkled, she can't stop smiling and she can't stop jumping while Juvia just rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You wanna know something?" Nashi nodded eagerly
"You're the first one who asked for my autograph, and I can't forget you." With that Nashi fainted because of happiness, she was about to fall but Juvia catched her before she fell.
"Natsu-nee, you shouldn't say stuff like that to a fan!" Juvia scolded
He scratched the back of his head and said, "I didn't know I shouldn't do it…"
"I know it's because you don't have fans and Nashi's the only one." She looked at the sleeping girl, yes, she is sleeping now.
"Hey—"He was cut off by Juvia suddenly talking again.
"You know, she reminds me of you— I mean, you two look like each other… like father and daughter." She sat beside Nashi, and put Nashi's head on her lap while she slept.
"When should we go to the guild?" Natsu asked
"When Nashi tell us to, maybe Mira-san's planning something."
"Wow, you sure know her."
"That because I know everyone" This sounded creepy to Natsu but he just shrugged it off and watched TV.
-HOURS LATER-
: 5:12 P.M:
RING! RING! RING!
Natsu jumped out of the couch and searched for the ringing sound, when he came closer to Nashi, who was still asleep, it became louder so he figured that the ringing sound came from Nashi. He opened her body bag and saw a phone, it has a message. He was curious but he wouldn't dare touch a girl's stuff and he learned that from Lucy, but curiosity got him and before he knew it, he already read the message.
From: MIRAJANE
Nashi, we're ready! SO PLEASE BRING Natsu and Juvia over here at THE GUILD. PRONTO!
MIRA XxX love lots, buh bye!
"Mira has a phone?" That was the first thing that he thought, he looked at Nashi for a while and tried to wake her up so he could tell her about Mira's message.
"Nashi, wake up." He said in a soft voice, while shaking her so she can wake up
She just turned around not facing Natsu, "Five more minutes' papa." She forgot that she was in Natsu and Juvia's house, Natsu unconsciously smiled. He wanted his son/daughter to call him 'papa'. It's just so sweet.
"Mira texted you something" Her eyes widened, she totally forgot about her 'mission' and that she was here in Natsu and Juvia's house! And to make it worse she called Natsu Dragneel, Salamander and was a part of the strongest guild ever, 'PAPA'! For her it was really embarrassing, to call her idol her 'papa'. She blushed a thousand shades of red but she looked away from him so he wouldn't see her blush. When she felt her blush starting to fade, she looked up at Natsu and tried to say something.
"Wh-what did Mira-san say?" She slapped herself mentally for stuttering
"She said we should be there in the guild, that's all." She sighed, she was glad Mira didn't mention anything about the surprise.
"So should we go there now?" She nodded, "I'll just leave you here for a few minutes. I'll call Juvia." Again, she nodded
"JUVIA NASHI SAID WE CAN GO TO THE GUILD NOW! SO COME DOWN HERE!" It wasn't that loud but it was loud enough for Nashi, she covered her ears and flinched. Natsu saw what she did and gave an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry; I'm just used to shouting…" She couldn't seem to do anything but nod from the time she woke up.
"Let's go Natsu-nee." Natsu looked up at the guild from Nashi to the stairs. It was kind of dark so it was hard to see but he knows it was Juvia who was talking, seconds later, he saw her. She was wearing heart earrings, a dark blue skirt and a white T-shirt that says 'LOVE-AND-HATE' Natsu's mouth formed an 'o'.
"Nashi, let's go?" Natsu extended an arm gesturing her to hold his hand while walking, she happily accepted his hand hands.
"Yeah! Let's go!" She jumped and then held Natsu's hand.
-In the guild-
"What was taking Nashi sooo long?" Lyon complained, they had gotten quite close but not that close though.
"Don't worry Lyon, she'll bring them here before you can say 'I love you Juvia'." Meredy said
Before he can say 'I love Juvia' the doors were opened by someone but it wasn't Juvia, Natsu and Nashi. It revealed a woman with blonde hair and they can see her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying. They all gave her worried stares, they all thought that maybe she cried all day again in her room while regretting about four years ago.
"Lucy, where have you been?" Mira asked worriedly
"Natsu… is he alive?" Everyone was silent, "Tell me… is he still ALIVE?!" She shouted the word 'alive', she didn't believe herself about what she saw yesterday so she spent her whole day today crying and asking herself about yesterday.
"Lucy…" Mira came closer to her, guiding her to the bar, "Lucy… he's alive… and so is Juvia…" Lucy's eyes widened
"Juvia? Where's Juvia? Where is she? I need to talk to her! I need to apologize to what I did to her! Mira tell me where she is please!" She was crying again but Mira calmed her down.
"Lucy, they'll be arriving soon, so please just wait. And when they arrive here, I'll show them to you but please enjoy the secret party first." Her voice was so soothing that it made Lucy stop crying and nod. She closed her eyes for a second and she saw a flash that showed all of her memories with Natsu before. It was all happy. They were all happy. But now, you can't say that. Everyone was just faking every smile. But right now she can tell that all of the smiles on their faces were not fake, especially Lissana's. Her smile was the brightest of all, add Lyon and Meredy with Lissana too and also Erza.
Before she can move, the door opened again and revealed three figures. One was her daughter, one was a blue-haired woman which she guessed was Juvia and the other was a man with pink hair and she knows it was Natsu. He's the only guys she knew that has 'pink' hair!
"N-Natsu?" She mumbled softly that only she can hear. She ran away as fast as she can, she was headed to the infirmary and lock herself up in there. Mira didn't do anything to stop her because she knew what was going on in her mind.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW! SORRY FOR THE ERRORS! WE'RE GOING TO SWIM!
