Heya! :3 I know that this chapter is shorter but I really liked the idea to end it like I have so I didn't want to add any more :) So here it is! I hope you'll enjoy chapter 3! :D

Chapter 3: Nothing's Changed

"Welcome back, dad!"

Natsu. Where has he been? On a mission? Probably. But why alone? He was a lot taller now. His style was the same and so was his hair but the air he was giving off was different. He didn't seem like the carefree, immature boy I knew. Natsu had changed.

"Welcome back, Natsu!" Macao said and patted Natsu's shoulder smiling. "How was your mission?"

"Easy!", Natsu smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Macao said shocked. "It was a year long mission! It's awesome that you completed it already!"

"Is that so?" Natsu said nonchalantly and poked Happy's head. "Hey, partner! Wake up, we're home!"

Happy's eyes shot open and he yawned. Rubbing his eyes with his paws he tried to fly and had to find his balance at the first moment. "Is there any fish?", Happy asked sleepily after having secured his position.

"Go ask Mira", Natsu said with a smile and took off his backpack.

"Dad, fight me!" Haru said taking on a fighting stance and was about to attack Natsu.

"Later", Natsu answered. "I have to find your mother first."

Your mother. And at that moment all doubts left were blown away. I was sitting at the counter and looking at a more mature and pretty handsome Natsu arguing with his son whether he should first find me or fight our son.

"There's no need to search for me", future-Lucy said and appeared with little Sakura holding her hand and pressing the plush toy against her chest as a huge grin appeared on her face.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed and ran up to Natsu jumping at him. Natsu smiled happily, caught his daughter and hugged her tightly.

"I'm back, Sakura", Natsu said ruffling her hair.

Lucy approached him, smiling brightly and kissed Natsu as soon as he let down his daughter who closed her eyes with her hands saying "Waah!" Whereas Haru simply blushed and looked at the floor.

I could completely understand the two I was sitting here watching the whole scene (basically myself kissing Natsu) and felt the blood shoot into my cheeks. I was sure I looked like a tomato and fidgeted on my seat uncomfortably.

Those two finally ended the kiss and at that moment, no matter how much he had changed, I realized that he was still the Natsu I knew by showing that huge, toothy grin I was so used to. And even though I hadn't even been here for a day, I felt an overwhelming pain in my chest. I was already starting to miss the present Natsu.

Suddenly, Natsu's future version looked at me surprised and looked back at the Lucy in his arms. After doing that two more times, he said: "Luce... Have you cloned yourself?"

I nearly fell off my chair. It was probably normal for Natsu to think that way. I heard loud, familiar laughter and looked for the source of it. It came from Gray.

"Are you and idiot, or what?" Gray said, wiping his tears away. "How could she do that?"

"You've got a problem, ice princess?" Natsu said with a deep voice, pissing Gray off.

"What did you say?"

Natsu smiled gloatingly. "I asked you whether you have a problem, ICE PRINCESS."

"You wanna fight?"

"Sure, come on!"

And now, I really did fall off my chair. Scratch everything I said before, Natsu was exactly the same as before! Sitting on the floor I started laughing and covered my forehead with my right hand. Natsu and Gray stopped in the middle of their fight and looked at me confusedly.

"What's going on?" my older version asked and looked at me.

"Nothing", I said and smiled my brightest smile. "I'm just glad that some things never change!"
