Irene read over the shopping list at the farmers' market.
Young Natsu and Gajeel are trying their best to get along. Erza has to keep scolding them to behave.
Gajeel: Oi! You idiot! You pulled my hair!
Natsu: I did not, fork eater!
The two butt heads and growl whimper when Erza comes in between and pulls on both of their ears.
Erza: Stop. We are in public and you will behave properly. No more causing trouble for mom.
Irene lets out a deep breath of relief.
'Thank you Erza for being such an angel.'
After shopping for twenty minutes, Irene had finished her list and was ready to head home.
Irene: Let's go kids.
Erza: Coming, mom!
Irene shakes her head as Erza carries Natsu and Gajeel over her shoulders. Both were knocked out with their heads rolling with each step she took.
The stares on the way home really didn't help.
'Yeah…I'm shopping alone from now on…'
