A week had passed and Minerva was in the office of her home doing paperwork. She was wondering what was going on back in the guild. She hadn't been there in so long, for 4 years. She looked over at her daughter who was reading a book about dragon slayer magic but Minerva just assumed that Cinder wanted to know what it was so that just in case if she ever had to fight one she would know what to do to defend herself.
Minerva looked away back to her work then she felt her daughter come to her.
"Mommy?"
Minerva looked at her.
"Yes Cinder?"
"What kind of wizard was Daddy?"
Minerva looked away.
"He was a Fire Dragon Slayer."
"What was his name?"
"Natsu..."
Cinder glanced down only to see that her mother's hands were trembling then she looked back up.
"Mommy is something wrong?"
Minerva realizing she was trembling relaxed.
"Nothing's wrong."
Cinder knew that something was wrong so then she left out of the room. Minerva on the other hand had watched her daughter leave out of the room then she went back to work.
"Natsu...what would you do if this was other way around?"
Minerva stopped working then left out of the room to check on Cinder. It didn't take long for Minerva to find Cinder playing in her room with her toy dragons. She had a full collection of them since she didn't care for dolls, Minerva just assumed that because of who her father was that Cinder wasn't going to be a girly girl, which in case Minerva mentally thanked Mavis.
Cinder was in her room playing with her toy dragons that her mother had gotten her since that seemed to be the only thing she enjoyed playing with.
As she was playing with them she grabbed three dragons a red one, a blue one and a purple one. She picked up the red one and with a playful male voice she spoke.
"This is our family time, where should we go for another adventure?"
Cinder picked up the the blue one and used a womanly voice for it.
"I do want to leave to a different place but I'm not sure where, what about you daughter?"
Cinder picked up the purple dragon and used a kid's voice.
"Let's go to the land of Enca."
All three toy dragons were picked up and pretended to fly somewhere else, as if going to another place.
Minerva, who was still in the hallway just looked at the three dragons as they were played with showing a family. Minerva silently left to her room and laid on her bed.
"Natsu...I don't know what to do..."
It wasn't too long before Minerva silently cried herself to sleep.
With Cinder
Cinder had a feeling that she was being watched but when she looked behind her she saw that no one was watching her. She then looked back at the map that she had open.
"Let's start our family adventure tomorrow."
Cinder saw what time it was and was in shock it was almost 10:00 p.m. She then wondered how come her mother hadn't checked in on her but not trying to get into trouble Cinder silently got ready for bed and went to sleep.
(Dream)
Cinder was in the open fields playing by herself but then she stopped when she heard a male voice behind her.
"Hey Cinder!"
Cinder blinked and looked behind her to see a man with spiky pink hair coming to her.
"Um hello mister, um how do you know my name?"
To her surprise the man picked her up smiling at her.
"Look you at you, you're all cute and grown up. You look just like your mother!"
Cinder's eyes widened.
"Are you my..."
The man's smiled became bigger.
"That's right! I'm Natsu, your father!"
When Cinder heard those words she wanted to cry then Natsu hugged her tightly to him.
"Daddy..."
"It's okay. I'm here."
"I wish this wasn't a dream, I really want to see you."
"I'm sorry that you and your mother have to live on without me. I know what it's like to not have a father."
"I want to ask Mommy about you but every time I do she would start shaking."
Natsu rubbed her head.
"Don't worry. It's just that your mother is still shaken up about what happened when we got married."
Cinder looked at him.
"What happened?"
"I will tell you but not right now."
Cinder nodded then looked at him.
"Daddy?"
"Yes?"
"How did you and Mommy meet?"
Natsu has a smirk on his face to hide his embarrassment.
"It's a long story but I'm certain your mother will tell you since she was the main reason that we started dating."
"You say it like it was a bad thing."
"Well lucky for you, your mother is a total different person."
"She is?"
Natsu smiled at her.
"Yes, she changed her ways for you."
(Dream end)
Cinder woke up but it was still dark so then she went to her mother's room to find her mother sleeping. Without making a sound Cinder climbed into the bed and snuggled up to her mother who wrapped her arms around her as she slept.
The next morning Minerva got up and smiled when she saw her daughter sleeping in her bed with her. Minerva stroked her daughter's cheek and kissed her.
"Cinder, why don't we go on an adventure to Enca like your toy dragons went on, in fact we will live in Enca."
