Chapter 4 - A Fairy's Truth and a Dragon's Tears
Natsu, Erza and Makarov stared at the letter on the table in front of them, unsure on how to proceed. Erza turned her attention to Natsu, who looked conflicted on what to do and she didn't blame him; Natsu had told her how he felt about his biological parents. Igneel had found him when he was a baby and his parents were nowhere in sight, and Natsu had thought that he was abandoned in the forest by people who didn't want him; he always had mixed feeling when he thought of them. Natsu wanted to meet them and get to know them but at the same time he never wanted to see the people who deserted him as a baby. As far as he had been concerned, Igneel was his father and nothing would ever change that.
Now here in front of him was a letter from one of them, his mother to be specific; and it was not just anyone but the First Guild-master of Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermilion. That fact itself was crazy because not only did no one have any knowledge of her having children, but the fact that Mavis had died decades ago and Natsu was the same age as her and Mira added more questions. There was no question that there was some relation between the two if Natsu was not only able to use Fearī Gurittā, but open Mavis's journal when not even the previous masters could. When they opened the book they saw a picture of Mavis holding an infant with a small patch of rose-colored hair, she was smiling at a sleeping Natsu as the picture was taken it seemed. It seemed that the only way they would get any answers would be to open the letter and from the looks of it, the letter was a magic letter that created a magical hologram of the sender to deliver the message.
"…Natsu…" Erza said as she began to place her hand on his shoulder, but as her hand made contact Natsu shot from his seat and made his way to the door; leaving the letter on the table. She got up and quickly stopped him from removing the door's seal. "I understand that you don't want to read your moth-"
"Don't call her that!" He yelled, interrupting her. "I don't have a mother remember; I was found and raised by Igneel since I was an infant. Just because a letter is for me, doesn't mean I will see what it says."
"Natsu." Makarov's voice called out, making the younger mages turn to look at him. "It's your choice on whether to open the letter or not. But remember, a mother's last words some of the most important things that a parent can leave a child; she might have things that she wanted to say that she couldn't before. So at least think about it before brushing it off."
Natsu stood there for a few moments before removing the seal to the door, and walked out as quickly as he could before Erza could stop him. Erza stood there, stared at where Natsu was a second ago before turning to Makarov.
"Master, he shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the First's letter; there are many people who would love to know their parent's last words…I know I have." Erza said sadly. Makarov sat in his chair before jumping off and gave Erza a comforting pat on her leg.
"I agree with you, but this is Natsu choice. I can tell he is scared…" He said, which made Erza look at the old man in surprise.
"He's scared? But Natsu isn't afraid of anything; he's fought tons of dangerous monsters and he wasn't afraid when he was almost killed by Astaroth."
"There are different kinds of fear Erza" Makarov wisely stated, "What Natsu is afraid of is what his mother has chosen to say to him in the letter; it could either be something terrible or something great."
"But he won't know unless he opens it." Erza protested.
"And what if he finds out he was a child created from rape." Makarov said abruptly "You know that there can be as much good news as there is bad."
"But look at this picture," Erza lifted the picture they found earlier "Look how happy she is when she is holding him, I doubt she felt hatred or worst towards Natsu. I am going to find him and talk to him."
With that said, Erza left the room; Makarov sighed before grabbing the letter and walking out towards the bar. As he walked out he saw Gray on the ground holding his stomach in pain and everyone staring at a destroyed door in shock. He hopped onto the counter and stood next to Mirajane who had a hand covering her mouth.
"Mira, what happened?" He asked the white-haired girl. She turned towards him and started to explain.
"It happened when Natsu came out of you office; he had an angry look on his face when he was walking to the door. When Gray had came in front of him and taunted him like normal; Natsu punched him in the stomach and destroyed the door when he was walking out, Erza followed after him." She finished as Gray made it to the bar and sat on the stool.
"What the hell is his problem!?" He exclaimed, glaring at the door.
"Leave it be Gray," Makarov said as he placed the letter down as Mira brought him a drink. "Natsu is having some issues at the moment."
He turned his gaze toward the older wizard, "What issues could that idiot have that causes him to get this pissed; did he mess up on that mission or something?" Before Makarov could answer, a voice calls out.
"Does it have to do with this thing?" They looked to see Cana drinking a mug while holding the letter that Makarov placed on the table; her answer was a nod from the old man.
"What's so important about a letter that made Natsu so angry?" Happy asked worriedly. Makarov took the letter from Cana and placed it next to him.
"This is for Natsu's eyes only, it is a magic letter that was left to him by his mother." That shocked everyone.
"HIS MOTHER!" Everyone shouted at the same time.

When Erza found Natsu an hour later, he was sitting at the edge of a river; she realized that this was actually the river she used to go to when she was younger and cried. She walked towards Natsu, knowing that he knew she was behind him; he was always able to know where she was, even when she made sure to cover her tracks.
"What do you want Erza?" He asked her.
"I came to bring you back to the guild hall; you can't run away from this Natsu." Erza stated with a firm tone.
"I'm not running! I just don't want to read the letter." Natsu fired back, continuing look at the river.
"That IS running away Natsu!?" Erza shouted as she got closer, "Your running away from the truth, about what happened and how you ended up in Igneel's care. Aren't you curious on how that happened?" She grabbed his shoulder and forced him to look at her; she was shocked to see he had tears building up. "Natsu?"
"I'm scared alright!" Natsu screamed, making Erza let go, "I am afraid of what had made her leave me; I may not know much about Fairy Tail's history but I do know that Mavis Vermilion was never mentioned to having kids. If I am her son, why was there no record of me or even a child at all? Did she even want m-" Natsu was cut off by a slap to the face.
"Don't say that Natsu, I don't know why there is nothing about her having children but I can tell she loved you," Erza handed the photo to Natsu, "Look at this photo and tell me she has hate for you in her eyes." Erza demanded.
Natsu stared at the photo for a while, looking at the woman who was staring at his younger self with so much love in her eyes. His vision started to get watery as he continued to stare at the photo, his body shook as he cried; more then when Igneel disappeared, harder then when Lisanna died. He couldn't do it, staring at this woman who brought him into this world; he couldn't say that he hated her or that she hated him. As Natsu cried Erza reached out to him and brought him close, holding him tightly. It was actually a good forty-five minutes before he calmed down; they separated and Natsu wiped his tears away before looking at the photo.
"Your mother is very beautiful; I can see why Mavis was considered a fairy and one of the most beautiful women when she was alive." Erza said as she looked at the picture, to which Natsu nodded.
"Kinda like you." Natsu mumbled, though Erza heard it and started to blush before getting up.
"W-well anyway let's head back to the guild, okay?" Erza said as she started to walk; suddenly she felt Natsu grab her hand, stopping her. "Natsu?"
"Erza…I know this sound selfish, but can you be there when I activate the letter? I would like to have someone there with me." Natsu requested with his head down.
"…Sure." Erza answered with a smile, "Natsu; no matter what happens, no matter what is on that letter, I will always be by your side." She looked away from him with a red face, "Y-you're v-very precious t-to me, remember that." This time Natsu's face went red.
"Y-yeah thanks, you're precious to me too Erza." He responded before they quietly started to walk back to the guild.
NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDES NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDES NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESND
As they arrived at the doors, or what was left of them; Erza gave Natsu a small look, which he gave a nervous laugh to. They walked through the entrance and passed the other guild members; Natsu and Erza noticed that they were all staring at Natsu, some looks were of concern, some were of slight fear and the rest were of amazement. Natsu dismissed their stares as he walked forward to the bar, Makarov had his gazed on the two coming closer to the bar counter. He watched as Natsu stopped right in front of him with Erza standing right next him, Natsu had a serious look.
"Gramps…I want to read my mother's letter." He said as the other guild members watched the dragonslayer speak to the guild master. Makarov looks at Natsu face for any signs of hestitation or deception.
"Are you sure Natsu?" He asked the younger mage; the tension in the room was building. Natsu gave a nod.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm not gonna run away from this." Natsu said with determination in his voice.
"Alright, here it is." With that, Makarov handed the letter next to him over to Natsu. "Did you want to read it privately?" He asked, but to his and everyone else's surprise Natsu shook his head.
"I'd rather do this now while I am willing to do it and whether it is good or bad, I will still be Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon-slayer and a Fairy Tail wizard." He said which made everyone in the room smile.
Natsu grabbed the latter and looked at it for a minute, but to him it felt much longer; he felt Erza's hand on his shoulder. He looked her and saw she had a supporting smile on her face; and when he looked around the room, he saw everyone else giving their moral support as well. With a deep breath, he moved his finger over the seal and activated the letter; in an instant the letter glowed, which blinded everyone, before the Fairy Tail spell seal appeared over it before an image shot out of the letter and grew to a human size. As the light died down and the guild members could see again, they saw an extremely beautiful woman with long blonde hair standing in front of Natsu; this was the Founder and First Guild-Master of Fairy Tail and Natsu's mother, Mavis Vermilion.
"My dear Natsu." Her voice called out as she looked at Natsu, who lost his serious look as he stared at his mother.
"Hold on! Are you saying that Natsu's mother was the First!?" Gray exclaimed as the other members had similar thoughts. Gray was then hit on the head by Erza, who had moved back to give Natsu room; silencing him and everyone else with a glare.
"If you are viewing this magic letter, then you at the Fairy Tail guild, a member and more than likely know who I am. But if you don't know by some possibility, my name is Mavis Vermilion, your mother and Fairy Tail's Founder. I bet you have many questions about me and you, but before I explain anything I wanted to say something…I am truly sorry that I was not able to raise you like I wanted to, that might sound stupid from how it seemed like I abandoned you, but I had want you to know that I wanted to be there when you grew up." A few tears built up in her eyes before she wiped them away. "I should explain from the beginning, you see, when you were born, you had an extremely high amount of magical power, way more than any newborn ever had. Because of this, two groups of Zeref worshipers had become aware of this and had plans to take you away; I don't know the specifics but I believe they were going to use you to bring back Zeref, but your father and I refused to let that happen. Oh, your father was Nero Vermilion, he was a weapon mage that added different elements to many of his attacks; he was also one of strongest melee mages around his time; from how you looked as a baby, you got your hair from him while you got most of your features from me."
Many of the wizards looked between the two and could definitely see the resemblance between the two. Gray and a few other guys snickered at the fact that Natsu and his father had pink hair.
"Unfortunately he had sacrificed himself to destroy one of the two groups after you; but before you think that it was your fault, don't. It is a father's job to protect his wife and child, well that what he had always said to me when I was pregnant with you." Natsu chuckled a little while Makarov nodded his head in agreement "The months that followed, while painful because of your father's death, was the one of the best moments of my life; you were the greatest thing to happen to me. But that changed when the second group came after you; they sent many dark mages after you and even when I defeated them, more would be sent. It seemed like it would never end."
Everyone was shocked that Natsu and Mavis were involved with something like that. Erza could feel anger build up inside her; it was because of a Zeref cult that she and many others became slaves and had to work on the Towers, so the fact that Natsu had been a target to other worshipers really got to her.
"There were many people that had gotten hurt in the crossfire, some were innocent civilians and some were members of my guild; but the one that really got to me was you". Mavis paused as she remembered that horrible night, Natsu was wondering what could of happened to him when he was a baby, "One night during a time when you and I were alone in our home, dark mages attacked and tried to kill both of us. I had fought and destroyed them, but you almost got hit with a spell that one of the dark mages let loose. After that battle I came to a solution; a very painful one that I tried to think of others, many others, but none of them would have worked. I decided to use a very powerful spell to seal you from the dark mages until it was assured that you could be protected; the spell I used was one of the three legendary spells I created for Fairy Tail, Fearī Sufia. This spell has the power to convert any specific emotion and combine it with magical energy to create a barrier that would protect anyone from evil. I used all the love I had for you and created a Fairy Sphere would protect you until you were found by someone who could protect and raise you; until then no one would be able to detect or see you unless they were the perfect choice."
'I guess that is why Igneel was the one who found Natsu, what else would be more perfect for such a thing than a dragon.' Makarov and Erza thought to themselves.
"There was not much time, so I brought you to the forest during the night; I brought you to an area where I thought I could properly say good-bye, no matter how much I didn't want to." Mavis told Natsu some of the things she said; though when she brought up finding a girl, Natsu and Erza began to blush a little. Almost everyone was crying at this point at the sad tale; the image of Mavis herself had tears in her eyes. "After I cast the spell, I confronted the dark mages and quickly defeated them; when that was done I went back home and tried to pull myself together, it was very hard because my husband was dead and I sent my son far away. After a while I had manage to calm down a little bit, however I had to do the next part of my plan. I knew that even if I prevented them from getting to you now, they would still keep an eye out for you as long as they knew you existed; so I had to do the next hard thing, erase any record connection between us. I was able to save most of them in my journal that you were able to open, so if you want to reveal it to the world, just be strong enough to protect yourself okay. The final part of my plan was this… you see this magic letter and the journal could only be open by you thanks to a certain seal I put on it; in the journal is moments of my past, some of my techniques and information about them. If my guess is correct, then you had used one of my three legendary spell."
Natsu, Erza and Makarov nodded much to everyone else's shock.
"It was most likely Fearī Gurittā because unlike the other two, while Fearī Gurittā can be used by Fairy Tail members, it is more like a hereditary power; along with any magic that you got from me. Only those that are descended from you and I will inherit its mark and power; though it is possible to temporarily transfer it to another Fairy Tail member but that's another story. In any case, you more than likely received some of my magic, the magic known as Fairy Light Magic. But don't worry, if you already have your own, the magic you got from me will be a secondary magic at best so you can use mine while continuing to use yours. Though it doesn't matter to me what magic you have, I bet it is totally awesome."Mavis finished with a huge smirk as she raise a fist, making Natsu laugh a little at his mother's words. Some of the others wizards sweatdropped at her words while thinking.
'She is definitely Natsu's mother.'
Mavis's image started to fade a little making her look at her hand as it went back and forth between fading in and out.
"It looks like this letter is almost done." She looked up at Natsu, who had tears building up."Now now, don't cry; this letter was going to run out eventually." She said shocking everyone.
"D-did you just talk to me?" Natsu asked a little shock and his mother giggled a little.
"Yup, I had put a little more magic into the letter when I wrote it so I could say something of my own at the end after getting a good look at my son, and I have to say you turned out great. You look strong and healthy…I am glad that you are a part of Fairy Tail as well. Now all you need is a wife and children." She stated which made Natsu turn red and sputter.
"T-that's not your business." His eyes made a quick jerk to Erza, who had seen his quick glance at her before both of the looked away, very red in the face; which Mavis noticed.
"It's part of being a mother Natsu, we all want grandchildren; and I think I won't have to worry about that." She stated happily.
"Come on Mom, that's embarrassing." He said as he rubbed the back of his head, before he saw she froze a little. "Mom? Are you okay?"
"I-I am just so happy to hear you call me that." She replied as she looked toward the ground. "I was a little scared that you would hate me for what happened and me sending you away. I'm truly sorry; even if you were taken care of, you probably went through so much and I couldn't be there to help you like a real mother. I am so sorry."
Natsu looked at her before giving a dismissive shrug, "You don't have to apologize." Mavis looked up at Natsu, "I had Igneel most of that time, and I never got to really feel that mother's love; but the truth is I never really hated you or dad. I was just hurt and afraid that you didn't want me for some horrible reason, so I turned away from that and focused on other things to make me forget. And when Igneel disappeared, I wondered if something was wrong with me to make all of my parents leave me. So I focused on searching for Igneel to know why he left, and since I didn't know about you guys, I didn't try to find either of you. But now that I know what you and dad went through for me, to put everything on the line to make sure I was protected and loved." He gave one of his best smiles at his mother. "I'm so happy I had two amazing parents who loved and protected me with everything they had. I'm proud to be the son of two great wizards."
Mavis started to sob at her son's words and the tears ran down her smiling face as she reached out and brought Natsu into a tight hug, which he returned a little, his eyes closed at he felt his mother's warmth. The others noticed that Mavis's body began to vanish, disappearing in small orbs of light; signaling that the magic letter's time was up; it too was disappearing in orbs of light, swirling around the two. The guild stared at the mother and son, crying themselves at the scene in front of them.
"Natsu!"Mavis exclaimed, catching everyone's attention, "Thank you for making me your mother…thank you for making Nero your father…" Natsu opened his eyes to see his mother fading away, the letter's magic power becoming too low for her to maintain her existence anymore. "Thank you for being born to the both of us!" Her body was almost gone; as her body finally disappeared, her final tear crashed against Natsu face, "Thank you…so very much!"
Natsu stood there, his back toward everyone as he stared at the remaining orbs that slowly vanished. Erza walked forward to Natsu's side; as she stood next to him, she stared at him with concern on her face. He was not moving at all and just gazed at where his mother's orbs vanished; then he walked to the counter where the journal was and picked it up, he stared at the book before smiling.
"Mom…you don't have to worry about me eating healthy, some people say I eat too much, I get enough sleep so there is no issue there but sometimes I sleep in after training a lot. I made a lot of great friends since I joined Fairy Tail, some of them can be pains but I trust them completely, I wish you could have met them. Your right about my magic too, I can use Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and I am getting stronger every day, thanks to Erza, one of my closest friends." He said loud enough for everyone to hear before whispering to himself, though Erza had been able to hear because of how close she was, "You don't have to worry about me finding a girl; I already have someone like that."
Erza could feel butterflies in her stomach when he said that, she shook it off as Natsu pounded a fist to his chest.
"Just watch Mom, Dad…Igneel; I am going to be one of the greatest Fairy Tail wizards ever." Natsu stated as he brought the book to his side. "I'll protect what's important to me, just like you guys did." Natsu turned to his friends with a smile as everyone stood there, still taking in what just happened.
Makarov walked towards Natsu with a fatherly smile on his face "Natsu that was an interesting speech. I have no doubt that you will make your parents proud; you and everyone else here have already made this old man very proud of each and every one of you."
Everyone smiled at that; Makarov was like a father to all the guild members and hearing him say that was great to hear.
"Okay, now that all that mush is out of the way…Time to party!" Makarov exclaimed, to which everyone, except Natsu, shouted in agreement.
"Eh?" Natsu tilted his head in confusion.
"Come now Natsu; you not only found out who your parents are, but we have discovered that the First had a son that's a member of her very guild. That calls for a celebration!"
"But I'm still the same Natsu I was before. I don't want any special treatment!"Natsu said.
"Like you would get any special treatment from us fire-breath, you're still the same old idiot." Gray said with a smug grin on his face.
"A real man doesn't treat friends differently!" Elfman shouted.
Everyone nodded to what was being said; Erza placed a hand on Natsu shoulder, making him look at her.
"Natsu, we're not celebrating because you're the First's son. We're celebrating because you found out who your parents are and they loved you, just like I-we do." Erza quickly corrected herself with a small blush.
Natsu had his head down, his body shaking; then the guild started to hear him laugh. He was laughing long and hard for a while, and when he raised his head (still laughing), the guild saw tears going down his face. When he stopped laughing, wiping the tears away; he smiled at the other wizards as he spoke.
"Thanks guys, you're the best friends a guy could have." That brought grins to everyone's faces, "Now then… LET"S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" He shouted happily.
"AYE SIR!"
NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDES NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDES NDESNDESNDESNDESNDESNDESND
The party was active and loud; but it was incredible, everyone shifted between eating, dancing, drinking and even singing; though some were voted to never sing again. Cana had decided that since Natsu was the focus, they should have a drinking contest; and much to a lot people's shock, Natsu won without even getting buzzed. He and Erza explained that they had found out that he couldn't get drunk, Erza had tested him on his tolerance once after a mission and he had almost reach the fifties before they had stopped the test because of them getting kicked out of the bar. Cana, hearing the story, was slightly annoyed because she wanted to do embarrassing things to a drunken Natsu; but because she was drunk she decided to give Natsu an extremely embarrassing moment, through a method she had never used before.
Cana had offered to get him another drink, but instead of giving him the shot glass, she placed it under her bikini between her breasts and told him to get it. Some of the other guys were amazed at this and were telling Natsu to do it; but before he could even think about it, Erza came up and pulled Natsu away. As the party was continuing, Erza had taken Natsu to the building's roof; where they stared at the moon and the many stars in the sky, amazed at the sight before them. Natsu looked at Erza; saw she was shivering a little and noticed she was not wearing her armor; coming to a quick decision he wrapped his arm around her and brought her closer to him.
"Natsu what are you…" Erza tried to ask, with a small blush on her face.
"You looked cold." Natsu simply said as he avoided her gaze.
Erza nodded her head as she relaxed against Natsu's chest, enjoying his warmth; it was one of the great perks of being the Fire Dragon-slayer. Natsu shifted to lay back against the tiles with Erza resting on his chest; he took in her strawberry scent, Natsu could never get tired of it. They stared at the stars for a while before Erza started to speak.
"Natsu."
"Yeah?" he asked.
"What you were saying to your mother, about you already having a girl in mind." Erza said causing Natsu to freeze.
'Shit! I didn't think she would hear that!' Natsu thought to himself before he replied. "So you heard that, huh?" He could feel Erza's head move in a nodding motion.
"Yes and I was just wondering…What do you think of me?" She questioned as they both moved up into a sitting position and faced each other. Natsu sighed as he decided to tell her the truth.
"I think you're a strong wizard, one of the best I have ever met. I like your personality and how you handle some things, though sometimes you can be a bit scary." He scratched the back of his head at that, "But I enjoy hanging out with you now, not that I didn't before, I am just glad you aren't hiding behind that armor you have. I like that while you are girlie, you aren't afraid to fight." He said as she looked at him a little disappointed.
"…Is that it? Just a great fighter…" Erza questioned with her eyes to the ground before Natsu lifted her head up with his finger.
"Not really, that's what I like about the wizard you. I think you're one of, if not the, most beautiful woman I have ever known. Not just your looks, but who you are in general. I enjoy looking at your red hair and brown eyes; I also enjoy your scent, strawberries with a hint of honey." Erza's face went a little red at that, she saw a small blush appear on his face when he spoke again. "I will admit that your body is perfect too, from all the training sessions and missions; but that isn't really as important to me as you yourself are." He said with that determined look in his eyes.
While Natsu was talking to Erza, neither noticed they were being watched by a few of the other guild members. Most of the girls had stars in their eyes from the romantic scene in front of them, while some of the guys were jealous of what was happening. Makarov was watching the two with a small smirk, he knew they had feelings for each other; it was as clear as night and day. He watched as two of his children talked; using his Titan Magic to hold a drunk Gray, who was originally going to barging in and challenge Natsu to a fight. Going back to the two wizards on the roof, Erza was a little surprised about what Natsu was saying; while some of what he said was a little embarrassing, it was also sweet at the same time and she saw he was looking at her with that determined look she loved.
"…Erza, you are the most special person in the world to me; that's why I am not going to run from this anymore." He took a deep breath, "Erza Scarlet, I love you with all my heart."
Erza froze as she heard those words, the words she wanted to hear from him for so long. Her body was overflowing in happiness as tears came down her eye, she brought her hands to her face as she cried tears of happiness; something she didn't think she could do after The Tower. She moved her hands from her face and she gave Natsu a beautiful smile, the moon right behind her and giving her a heavenly glow; making Natsu a little awestruck at the sight.
"I love you too Natsu, with all my heart." With that said Erza leaned forward and kissed Natsu on the lips, which he returned.
They slowly returned back to their previous position with Natsu lying on the ground and Erza on top of him, never breaking the kiss. It was after a few minutes that they parted for air, they continued lied down and relax in each other's arms.
"Erza?" Natsu called out her name, getting her attention.
"Hmm?" Erza made a small noise as she rested on his chest.
"This means we are going out, right?" Natsu asked, Erza raised her head to look at him.
"Yes, so if you even think about another girl, I will very slowly castrate you with the rustiest sword I have…Got it?" She stated as Natsu (and some of the men watching) paled a little.
"A-Aye!" He stuttered before moving them up, much to Erza's dismay. "But you will never have to worry about that, it's not how a dragon's love." Natsu said with a smirk, making Erza a little curious.
"What do you mean?" She asked, but her answer was a wave of the hand.
"I'll tell you later…Come on, I'll take you home." Before Erza could say anything, Natsu picked her up bridal style and hopped off the roof before heading to Fairy Hills to take her home.
As they left the other wizards had smiles on their faces, happy that the new couple got together. Mirajane giggled a little bit before she spoke to the others.
"You know…This is the first time I have seen a fairy tale where the dragon and the knight are dating." She said with a sigh as she brought her hands to her blushing cheeks. "How romantic." The other girls nodded in agreement.
"Its about time, I was wondering if those two would get together." Gray said as he took off his shirt.
"I'm surprised that you're so calm Gray." A sober Cana said as she drank another beer.
"What do you mean?" He questioned with an eyebrow raised.
"I'm surprised you didn't notice with that whole rivalry thing you have with Natsu. Not only is he getting stronger, he now has a hot and sexy girlfriend that is also the strongest female in Fairy Tail." Cana stated, not really paying attention to Gray's face.
He stood there for a second, thinking about what the Card wizard said. As if an alarm clock went off in his head, Gray realized he was beaten and shouted to the sky.
"DAMN YOU NATSU!"
…Okay, back to the couple…
Natsu lifted his head up as he thought he heard a sound coming from the guild. He quickly dismissed it as Erza brought him into Fairy Hills, she brought him to her main room. But before he could say goodnight, she pulled him in; needless to say, neither got much sleep that night.

A/N: Chapter four completed, I hope it was enjoyable for you readers. Be sure to review and no flames. I will ignore them and they will be given to Natsu. Also I have two announcements; the first is that there is only a few more chapters until the beginning of the canon. The second is that there will be a few more years added to the story, so instead of two years since Lisanna's death, it will be five.
Omake:
A chibi Mirajane and Makarov stood infront of the mission board.
Mira (Hands on her cheeks as she sighs happily): Natsu sure is romantic, I am so glad he and Erza are together now.
Makarov (Nodding his head): Yes, Natsu really has grown from the little troublemaker he used to be when he was younger.
Mira (Cocks her head to the side): What do you mean? He is almost the exact same except for a few things like magic power and such.
Makarov (A perverted grin): True but I was talking about his way with the ladies has gotten good. He was able to get a girl with such A NICE BODY. Hehehe.
Mira (Head covered by shadow and eyes glowing red): Master, don't make me angry.
Makarov (quickly nodding): Yes ma'am.
Mira (Smiling like an angel): Though it is amazing that Natsu is Mavis's son.
Makarov (Thinking pose): Yes…But I can't help but worry on how some will react to this information.
Makarov & Mira: Next time on The Fairy Flame Dragon…Chapter 5 – S-class Nomination Tournament
Makarov: Keep going towards the future and do what you think is right, Fairy Tail will always have your back!
