Natsu and Wendy's Big Day Out

It was pretty late in the morning by the time Natsu woke up. He groaned and he pulled the blankets over his head when he felt the sunlight on his face. He was so tired from yesterday's job. He, Happy, and Lucy had gone on a monster hunt that took all day and midnight. They had to eliminate a gang of Vulcans that were terrorizing a nearby village. To top it all off, the village elder had also cut their pay by half because Natsu had destroyed their town in the process. Lucy ended up complaining the entire way back which didn't help one bit.

In his opinion, the damage wasn't as bad as they were saying it was. I mean, sure, he may have accidentally scorched half the village, but that's just part of the natural process of completing a job. However, that may only be how Natsu thinks.

"Oi, Happy, wake up," Natsu yawned as he stuffed his face into his pillow to block out the light. There was no response. Natsu sighed and rolled over. He was surprised to find that Happy wasn't in his bed or anywhere in his room. He sat up in his bed and felt a piece of paper crumple under the palm of his hand. He grabbed the paper and read.

Sorry, Natsu! I'm going with Lector and Frosch today because they said they found a secret spot to get lots of yummy fish!

Well, that solved the mystery of Happy's disappearance. Natsu figured he and Happy could spend the day fishing or relaxing. Lucy would probably sleep all day today, so that wouldn't be any fun for them if they went and bothered her. Especially with what happened yesterday. Erza also wasn't home at the moment. He heard she had gone to a bakery in another town that would be handing out free cakes to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

And as for everyone else in his family. His younger brothers Rogue and Sting were most likely with Lector, Frosch, and Happy. Gajeel would definitely be hanging out with Levy again. Natsu leaned back against the headboard of his bed. Maybe, he could just go with Happy and see this secret spot of theirs. As he juggled ideas around his head on how he would spend his day, his bedroom door opened.

From behind the door, he saw little Wendy peek her head out. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Wendy giggled. "Mama said to come to wake you up."

That's right! How could he forget about Wendy!? She loved to play and have fun. Natsu jumped out of bed and knelt in front of the little girl. Wendy tilted her head as she wondered what her big brother was doing.

"Wendy, what are you doing today?!" Natsu frantically asked. Wendy was taken back by her brother's sudden attitude change. "Um…I'm not doing anything today." she shyly responded. Natsu gave her a big smile. "Wanna spend the day together having fun?!"

Wendy's face lit up with pure joy. "Okay!"

After Natsu got ready for the day and ate his breakfast, they said goodbye to Irene, and they headed off to enjoy their exciting day in Magnolia. But before they could start, Natsu wanted to stop by the guild first.

Natsu and Wendy decided they would take the park shortcut to the guild. It was a great day for a picnic, to be honest. The birds were singing, and it was warm and sunny. People all around them were enjoying their peaceful Saturday morning.

Natsu held Wendy's hand as she hummed and skipped. "Natsu, look!" Wendy gasped and pointed. "Huh?"

The little Sky Dragon Slayer knelt and picked a lovely yellow dandelion from the grass. "For you!" Wendy beamed. Though Natsu wouldn't say it out loud, he could feel his heart melt. He accepted the kind gift and thanked Wendy.

For the rest of the walk, they stopped along the shops to see what items they had for sale. Now it was Natsu's turn to act like a kid. He saw a supposed cursed ghost mask for sale that he was so ready to buy.

But the thing scared Wendy, so he opted to purchase a kitten mask instead, which he gave to her. They also passed by a candy shop and bought Wendy and himself some lollipops. She got a sweet apple while he got a sour lime. He tried to offer Wendy some of his, but she let out an eek and ran away for some reason.

After catching Wendy and walking for what seemed like forever, they finally reached the doors of Fairy Tail. Wendy looked up in fascination at the giant building. It was huge! She had never visited the guild before, but she had heard lots of amazing stories from Erza and Natsu. Wendy couldn't wait to see all the awesome stuff Fairy Tail had to offer.

When Natsu opened the doors, she was greeted with the sight of Fairy Tail wizards laughing and enjoying their time. Natsu gently nudged her hand. "Come on, Wendy. I need to check up on a couple of things before we go." She nodded, and together they walked into the guild.

The doors slowly closed behind them. As soon as the wizards noticed Natsu, they all started greeting him. "Yo, Natsu!" greeted Macao and Wakaba, who were drinking.

"Yo," he greeted back as they made their way through. Though Wendy herself was very excited to see the guild, she was also shy. She hid behind Natsu as they walked up to the counter where Master Makarov and Mira were.

"Hey, Gramps. Hey Mira!" Natsu greeted. Makarov took a swig of his drink before waving. "Yo, Natsu. What brings you here on this fine day?" he asked. Natsu chuckled when he realized that Makarov was already drunk.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to scout the job flyers for tomorrow."

"Gahaha! Always one step ahead, aren't ya Natsu!" Makarov laughed as he chugged the last of his drink.

Wendy jumped when he slammed his mug on the counter. "Mira! One more drink, please!" Makarov drunkenly giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Ok, but this your last drink, Master." warned the white-haired mage. "You already had eight, and you still need to complete some paperwork later."

"Hehehe, ok, ok, I hear ya." Mira filled his mug and handed it to him. He excitedly chugged half in less than five seconds. "Ahhh, that hits the spot!"

Mira sighed and giggled. Some things will just never change. But sometimes, it's alright if things stay the same. Speaking of which, now that Natsu was here. "Natsu. Lucy came by the guild earlier looking for you."

"Huh, she did?" Natsu asked. He thought Lucy would be tired and not too happy to see him at the moment. "Yep," she smiled. "She wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out again." Natsu blushed when he heard the last part, to which Mira devilishly smiled. While he may make Lucy angry with him, they also shared a very close bond.

"Hehehe. Why are you so flustered, Natsu?" she asked as she leaned on the counter. "I'm no-not flustered!" Natsu sputtered. Mira laughed and was about to pry in for all the juicy details but stopped when she saw a little blue-haired girl hiding behind Natsu.

"Hmm? Who's that behind you?" Mira asked. Oh yeah! Natsu forgot to introduce Wendy to everyone. It was her first time being here. Natsu stepped back until Wendy stood right in front of him. "Wendy, say hi to Mira and Gramps."

"Hello, little one," greeted Makarov. Mira walked out from behind the counter and knelt in front of Wendy. "Hi, Wendy." Mira smiled. "So you're the one who Natsu and Erza talk about all the time."

Wendy was too shy to speak, so she twiddled her fingers. Mira softly laughed. "It's okay. It's nice to finally meet you."

Wendy looked up. "Hi…" she timidly greeted. Mira smiled and stood up. "She is so adorable, Natsu."

The Fire Dragon Slayer sheepishly laughed. Yes. Yes, she is.

All around the guild, everyone's attention had suddenly focused on Wendy. The little girl felt the gaze of the wizards and suddenly clung to Mira's legs. Mira giggled. "It's okay, Wendy. Everyone here is really nice."

Whispers spread throughout the guild.

"That's Erza and Natsu's little sister."

"She's so cute!"

"Is she also a wizard?"

Wendy hid behind Mira. She wasn't used to so many people looking at her at once. "Everyone!" Mira called out. "This is Erza and Natsu's little sister. She's shy, but please say hi and give her a warm welcome to Fairy Tail."

"Hi Wendy." the guild greeted. When Wendy heard the friendly people greet her, she finally felt a little more comfortable. She slowly peeked out from behind Mira. "Hi!" she smiled.

The guild erupted. "SO CUTE!"

One by one, the guild members introduced themselves. She met Mira's younger siblings, Elfman and Lisanna. Then Macao and Wakaba. She met a pretty green-haired lady named Bisca and her boyfriend, Alzack. Laxus and the Raijin Tribe also stopped by to say hello. She also met Gray and Juvia. Two of her big brother's closest friends. And so on so forth.

After everyone had said hello. The questions started piling in. But there was one question that was on everyone's mind. Did Wendy use magic?

"Oi Natsu! What magic does Wendy use?" asked Gray. As Natsu was about to answer his question, Wendy spoke up.

"I use sky magic!" chirped Wendy. "I'm a Sky Dragon Slayer!"

The guild went silent. Wendy noticed that everyone had stopped talking and were staring at her. She frowned. 'I guess they don't believe me…'

"WHOA! THAT'S AWESOME!" roared the guild. Wendy's eyes shined. Fairy Tail was just as amazing as Natsu and Erza said it was. Some day she will join the guild so she can go on adventures with older brothers and sisters.

The guild decided to hold a small celebration in welcoming Wendy. She got to eat lots of delicious food and not to mention lots of candy. By the end, her tummy was so full she decided to take her leftover cake for her mom.

She also spent the time answering questions from guild members.

"How old are you, Wendy?" asked Bisca. "I'm four years old." she grinned as she held up four fingers.

"Do you like manly sour food?" Elfman asked as he flexed his muscles.

"EEK! NO!" she squeaked.

"What is your favorite animal, Wendy?" asked Evergreen.

"My favorite is kitties!"

Gray suddenly noticed a red glowing sigil on Wendy's right shoulder. "Wendy, what is that?" he asked.

Wendy looked at her shoulder and grinned. "That's my mommy's mark. She said that it would protect me from monsters." Wendy pointed at Natsu, who was drooling while staring off into space. "Natsu has one too!"

'Wait a second…' thought Makarov when he got a good look at the emblem. "That sigil...It couldn't be!'

Makarov finally realized who that sigil belonged to. He went pale and struggled to find the words. "T-that e-emblem.." he sputtered. Mira noticed her Master freaking out. "Is something wrong?"

"It belongs to the most powerful enchantress in all Ishgal!" he squeaked before comedically passing out.

The guild went deadly quiet. Wendy frowned when she saw the mood changed. Had she said something wrong? It took five seconds for Natsu to realize that everyone was looking at him and Wendy. "Huh?" he grunted. "What happened?"

"Ehh! Your mother is the Scarlet Despair?!"

"Uh...yeah.." said Natsu in confusion. Hadn't he mentioned this before? Then he snapped his fingers when he remembered. 'Oh yeah. Mom told us to register using our second last names.'

Makarov had woken up. "Irene Belserion," he whispered. The guild focused on Makarov. "She is peerless. Even with the combined strength of Ten Wizards Saints, we wouldn't be able to defeat her in battle."

The guild gasped. "No way! That's freaking scary!"

Wendy was confused by all the commotion. Why was everyone scared of her mom? Wendy knew her mom was powerful, but she wasn't mean.

"My mommy is really nice. She's not a big meanie," she softly said. Makarov realized that perhaps he was a little too rude.

"Hahaha, I know. I have met Lady Irene multiple times, and she is a charming woman." he smiled.

"Yes..very charming…" Makarov pervertedly grinned as he visualized the woman's risque witch attire. It got very awkward as the old man muttered to himself.

"Master, your nose is bleeding…" Mira pointed out. Makarov cleared his throat. "Ahem, yes."

Makarov pat the little girl's head. "Lady Irene is one of the protectors of Isghal and highly respected among the Magic Council and government."

The third guild master raised his mug for a toast. "To Lady Irene and her children!"

"AYE!" roared the guild. Afterward, the guild partied more. Wendy tried to play tag with Laxus, but she could never seem to catch him. But she didn't mind; she was having fun. Natsu spent the remainder of the party answering any questions Gramps or his friends had.

"So, your actual name is Natsu Dragneel Belserion?" asked Gray. "Yeah, pretty much," Natsu mumbled as he chewed on a piece of meat.

"Then I assume it's the same for Rogue, Sting, Gajeel, and Erza?" interjected Mira, who was playing patty cake with Wendy. Natsu simply nodded as he downed his drink.

Master Makarov closed his eyes and stroked his chin. 'I wonder why Lady Irene had them register under different last names?' It was quite a shock for him to learn that she even had children. And much less, her children were members of his guild.

Oh well! It doesn't really matter. He was sure she hid their identities for a good reason. Now back to celebrating. He chugged down three mugs of alcohol and laughed as he watched his family have a great time.

"NATSU!" roared Elfman. "LET US HAVE A MANLY BATTLE!"

"YOU'RE ON ELFMAN!"

Natsu tackled Elfman, and the two went flying and crashed into Gray and Juvia's table. "OI WATCH WHERE YOU HEADED, FIRE BREATH!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME, ICE PRINCESS!"

The two growled at each other like two dogs at the park. Soon enough, all chaos broke loose, and it became a battle royale. Elfman tried to join in Natsu's and Gray's fight, but the two knocked him out instantly. Juvia cheered on her beloved Gray as the two fired Ice and Fire at each other.

"Oh my," giggled Mira as she watched the scene unfold. She was carrying Wendy to prevent her from getting hurt. Wendy herself was laughing and clapping as she watched her big brother fight. The battle carried on quite a while until everyone was worn out.

The guild peacefully slept while Mira watched over them. The only other person awake was Wendy, who was drawing a picture. "What are you drawing?" asked Mira as she leaned on the counter.

"I'm drawing the fun I had today, so I don't forget," Wendy said. Her little tongue was sticking out as she drew the final details. "Finished!" Wendy gleamed. She held up for Mira.

The white mage couldn't put in words how utterly adorable this girl was. Wendy had drawn all of Fairy Tail holding hands while celebrating. She also added little balloons and lots of cake. Mira squealed as she hugged Wendy. "Join Fairy Tail, so you enjoy more of these moments with us."

Wendy smiled at her. "Ok, but I have to ask mommy first!" The white-haired mage nodded. "Of course, we will be waiting for you."

But for now, it was quite late. The sun was going to set soon, and Mira was sure Wendy had to be home by dark. She picked up Wendy and went to wake Natsu. He mumbled something as he stretched his arms. Mira handed him Wendy and explained that it would be dark soon.

"Alright, well, we better be getting home soon, or mom is gonna have my head." chuckled Natsu nervously. The two waved goodbye to Mira and quietly left the guild.

The sky was reddish-orange as they walked along the river bank. But there was one more thing Natsu wanted to do with Wendy before heading home. "Hey, Wendy?" The blue-haired girl tilted her head. "Yes?"

"Wanna go fishing before we go home?"

"Ok!" she gleefully accepted. Natsu and Wendy quickly bought two fishing poles and bait from a nearby store. The two went back to the riverbank, and Natsu prepped both their rods. Natsu cast his line and helped Wendy throw hers as well.

The two sat on the grass as they hopefully waited for some fish to bite. Wendy hummed a little tune while Natsu relaxed.

It was a nice moment, to be honest. They were fishing while watching the sunset. "Did you have fun today, Wendy?" asked Natsu as he laid on the grass.

"Yes! It was really fun being at Fairy Tail! I want to go back again soon!" Wendy chirped. Natsu chuckled at her response. He was glad his little sister had a great time. Wendy suddenly felt something tug her fishing pole. "Ahh, Natsu! I think I got one!" she exclaimed.

Natsu instructed Wendy to grab her pole and pull. The little bluenette pulled with all her might, and with a bit of help from Natsu, she managed to reel in a decent-sized fish. Wendy excitedly clapped at her first catch. "Nice catch, Wendy!" Natsu grinned as he gave her a thumbs up. "Now's let's take him home, so we have a nice fish dinner."

"No!" cried Wendy. Natsu was surprised by Wendy's outburst. He looked at her, and she had tears in her eyes. "If we take him home, then his family will miss him…" she sniffed. "Wendy…" he said softly.

He gave her a small smile. "You're right, Wendy. We don't want to make his family and friends sad." He unhooked the fish and gently placed him back in the water. "Bye-bye!" waved Wendy as the fish swam away. Wendy felt Natsu pat her head. She looked up at him. "Let's go home." he beamed. "Okay!"

Natsu packed up their fishing poles, and two began walking home. It was almost dark, and the street lights were turning on one by one. He held Wendy's hand, but he noticed that Wendy's movement had become sluggish. He looked down and realized that she was very sleepy. She was trying her very best to stay awake.

With one swift motion, he picked Wendy in his arms and carried her. She wrapped her arms around Natu's neck while she rested her head on his shoulder. By the time they had reached the Belresion Estate, Wendy had already fallen asleep.

'Well, we're finally home,' he sighed in relief. 'It is not easy carrying a four-year-old and two fishing poles at the same time.'

Though funny enough, Natsu had no problem smashing boulders and houses. He kicked open the giant metal gates and walked up to the entrance. He dropped the fishing poles and opened the door with his left hand.

When he finally entered and locked the door behind him, he realized that nobody was home. 'I guess everybody is still out.' He walked upstairs towards Wendy's room. He opened the door and saw the pink and blue decorations that covered her room. He tiptoed his way across her room while he avoided stepping on any toys that were on the floor.

When he finally reached her bed, he gently laid her down and tucked her in. 'There we go. Nice and warm.' He turned on her nightlight and grabbed her favorite stuffed cat, and placed it in her arms. By reflex, she tightly hugged and cuddled her stuffed animal.

Natsu smiled and leaned down and kissed her head, goodnight. But just as he was about to walk out the door, he remembered nobody was home, and Wendy would get scared if she woke up alone. He gently closed the door and walked back to Wendy's bedside.

He shrugged. "I guess I'll wait here while Erza or Mom gets home." He sat down and rested his arms on Wendy's soft bed. He quietly yawned. 'I'll just close my eyes for a bit,' he thought as he rested his head on his arms. He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Two hours later, Wendy's bedroom door opened, and Irene quietly entered. She smiled at the sight.

Natsu was asleep by Wendy's bed while she held his hand. She grabbed a blanket from Wendy's closet and draped it over Natsu. She kissed both her children goodnight and closed the door behind them, leaving them to enjoy their peaceful slumber.
