HIIII! Here's the next chapter!
Plus I had another summative!
I HAS EXCOOSES! :P
Now, Let's goooooooo!~~~~
The faint light of morning sailed into the room in delicate waves as the two children awoke from their slumber, ironically at the same time. They both sat up, yawned adorable little yawns, stretched, and rubbed their eyes ALL AT THE SAME TIME. So, naturally, they opened their eyes at the same time as well, and the first thing they saw was the, slightly red with fatigue, eyes of the other person. Seeing the tinge of red, they didn't recognize it as each other's eyes, and they both let out small yelps, and they jumped backwards. Kai bumped into the wall of couch behind him, with Aurea, unfortunately, had no barrier to stop her, so she fell to the ground with a small thud.
"Owww…" Aurea muttered in slight pain.
"Oops! Sorry Aurea." Kai apologized as he realized the owner of the eyes.
"Nah, you've got nothing to be sorry about, you didn't do anything. I just got a bit surprised, that's all." Aurea replied, not wanting her friend to feel any type of guilt.
"Oh, okay."
"Hey! You wanna wake up Lucy, I think she's still asleep." Aurea suggested, earning a nod from a smiling Kai.
The duo dashed over to Lucy's room to hear steady breathing. Yet, something was off. They stood outside the room for a moment, and soon noticed; there was more than one person breathing! Though, they weren't afraid, their minds didn't process that someone could've broken in, all that was in their brains at the moment was curiosity. They silently opened the door and walked in slowly. They went up to the bed, and Aurea had to stand on her toes to see over everything. Lucy was laying there, sleeping peacefully, and behind her was a mass of salmon hair with a tiny blue cat. It was Natsu and Happy. Natsu was on his back, with Happy sleeping on the fire mage's arm. It was nothing less than, well, cute. The children looked at each other, a bit confused, but eventually shrugged and climbed onto the bed themselves.
"Hey, Lucy?" Kai whispered, poking her cheek.
"Naaaaaatsuuuu, Haaaapyyyyy?" Aurea whispered shaking the two companions.
The two 'adults', and one cat, seemed to wake up at the same time. Lucy just slightly sat up with a 'what's wrong Kai?' and Natsu just opened his eyes half-way, shaking Happy from his position on his arm. When Natsu and Happy finally woke up enough to notice the girl prodding them, she stopped and sat down happily.
"Hm? Oh, hey, what's up?" Natsu asked, seeing her.
Before she could answer Lucy's face scrunched up in recognition for that voice. She turned around slowly with a visible irk sign on her head, and saw the uninvited guests…on her bed. She started to get up, ready to beat the sense out of mostly Natsu, when she realized there were two young, innocent children in the room.
"Hey, Kai, Aurea? How about you two go on to the kitchen and start up breakfast?" she suggested, desperate for a reason to get the kids out of the room.
"Okay Lucy!" Aurea exclaimed, jumping off the bed, running around, grabbing Kai, and running out of the room to the kitchen.
Once the young'uns had left the room and closed the door, Lucy turned to Natsu and Happy with an evil demonic look. The next thing they know they're lying on the floor with multiple bumps on their heads and steam coming from them. Ouch. Lucy dusted her hands off and walked out of the room, a smirk on her face, and shut the door on the poor souls that suffered her wrath. She walked over to the kitchen where five cookbooks, a blender, a giant bag of flour, and a chair, in that order, were stacked up with a young girl on the top. The cabinet in front of her was wide open, and she seemed to be trying to reach something in the back of it. She soon gasped and beamed in happiness, until her makeshift tower started to shake, and collapsed on top of the unsuspecting Kai.
"Oops, sorry Kai!" Aurea exclaimed, as she was right at the top of the pile.
"It's okay." a muffled response came from under the pile.
Aurea quickly got off of the pile and pulled Kai out from under it. She looked at the mess sadly as she thought of how angry Lucy might get because of this. She looked back up at the cabinet and saw the cinnamon just sitting in the far back. Her pout increased as she saw it. She and Kai were going to make cinnamon rolls for Lucy and Natsu, but of course the cinnamon had to be somewhere she couldn't reach it. The light mage sighed and started to pick up the books from the ground.
"C'mon Kai, let's clean this up before Lucy gets here!" she exclaimed, and Kai started helping as well.
Seeing this, Lucy walked over and watched the two children. They were actually pretty good at cleaning as they ran around the room like cleaning robots, picking up scattered materials and placing them in the correct places. Soon, Aurea started struggling with one of her cookbooks, and Lucy went over and took it from her hands, placing it on the counter.
"Thanks Lucy!" Aurea exclaimed as she looked up and saw the blonde.
'Wait…' she thought, 'Lucy!?'
"OMIGOSHLUCYI'MSOSORRYIWASJUSTTRYINGTOMAKESOMECINNAMONROLLSBUTICOULDN'TREACHTHECINNAMONAND—" Aurea started explaining before Lucy started giggling.
"No, no, it's fine. I saw the whole thing. Just be more careful, okay?" she said, ruffling Aurea's hair.
"Yes ma'am!"
Now with Lucy helping, the mess got cleaned up in no time. Before Natsu could say 'FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!' the room was back to the way it was before. Lucy then opened the cupboard and took out the cinnamon, handing it to the two children. It was a bit high up, and in the back of the shelf…
'So why do I feel like something's off?' Lucy asked herself.
She looked at the two children, both getting ready to make the batter, when a light bulb burst out and her head.
"Hey, Aurea, couldn't you have just used your wings to fly up there?" she asked.
With that, Kai and Aurea turned white, sweat-dropped, and their souls seemed to leave their bodies, right before they anime-fell to the floor.
~~Mini Timeskip from: CINNAMON ROLLS!~~
The three were munching on freshly made cinnamon rolls in the kitchen.
"Wow~! This is really good!" Kai exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's better than the ones I usually make…" Lucy remarked.
"Oh yeah! That's because I added something in the batter when you guys weren't looking!" Aurea exclaimed happily, as if it was an accomplishment.
Strangely, the two looked at her in horror, obviously thinking of the worst possible things she could've put in the batter.
"What? It was just chocolate!" Aurea said, confused.
Kai and Lucy seemed to sigh in relief. Everyone was now peacefully eating, again, when Natsu burst through Lucy's bedroom door, Happy traveling behind him.
"WHATTHEHECKLUCYYOUDON'TJUSTHITSOMEONEANDLEAVETHEROOMAND—" he froze, sniffing the air, "something smells good…" he sighed, starting to drool, causing Lucy to face-palm and Aurea to let out a cute giggle.
"Here Natsu! Have a roll!" she exclaimed, picking up a large cinnamon roll and giving it to the salmon-haired boy.
He sniffed it, then took a large bite out of it. The next thing everyone knew, sparkles were bursting from his head and his pupils were large and adorable.
"So…..GOOD!" he gasped as a heaven light sparked above him, as if he was dying with no regrets.
"I want one!" Happy exclaimed, seeing Natsu's reaction.
Soon, everyone was happily eating the special cinnamon rolls. Though, now that Natsu and Happy joined the group, a whole pan was half-gone in a matter of minutes. It would've all been gone, but Lucy got the boys to slow down and savor the new delicacies. Aurea was now remembering this morning, when a question popped into her young mind.
"Hey, Lucy?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Are you and Natsu married? Cuz' my mommy and daddy were married, and they always slept in the same bed with each other, well, except when daddy was sick…then he'd sleep on the couch." Aurea asked, her innocence taking effect.
Natsu sat there wide eyed and wide mouthed, a bit of cinnamon roll dropping out, while Lucy started to choke on her rolls.
"N-NO! NOT AT ALL!" Lucy exclaimed when she stopped choking.
"Oh, okay…" Aurea said, not quite understanding why Lucy was yelling.
"This perv just snuck into my bed last night." Lucy stated, trying to get every idea of marriage out of Aurea's head.
"What's a 'perv'?" Kai asked, as he and Aurea both tilted their heads to the side, confused.
[NO LUCY! BAD! LET THEM KEEP THEIR INNOCENCE! WE ALL WISH WE STILL HAD OURS!]
"N-Nothing!" she exclaimed, "Forget I said that!"
"Oh…ookay…" Aurea and Kai said at the same time.
"Besides, you guys do know you slept in the same 'bed' last night too." Lucy said, trying to confuse the young'uns.
"Yeah, but we're like, less than 10…" Kai started.
"That'd just be weird…" Aurea finished.
"Let's just go to the guild." Lucy whined, a depressed aura surrounding her.
What a great start to the day.
Hehe, I love teasing Lucy... *evil smile*
