Nashi had a lot of different emotions running through her as she watched her Mother walk slowly towards her father. Rage, Sadness, for some reason happiness, and another emotion she wasn't entirely comfortable with. Her mother, however, seemed to be too shocked for words. She was slowly advancing through the hall, people carved a path for her. Natsu seemed unfazed, he was grinning widely.

"Hey Luce! It's been a while!" 'Luce's ' mouth hung open.

"It's you..." She breathed. "It's really you..."

"Yep!" Lucy tackled him with a suffocating hug, wrapping her legs around his midsection. He coughed. "Good... to see... you to..." She let go and slugged him in the arm.

"Don't you EVER leave for that long again. Do you even know how worried I was?"

"I wasn't gone for that long"

"Your sense of time is garbage, Natsu" A adorable voice said. A blue cat with wings flew up next to him, and my mothers eyes lit up.

"Happy!" The small cat was crushed with a hug from Lucy.

"Lusshhhiii! Let go, your squishing me!" Lucy laughed.

"So Happy's back too?" Pantherlily and Carla flew up next to him and greeted him.

"Oi! Salamander!" Natsu turned as Gajeel stepped forward. Nashi noted that Elise was cowering behind her father. Nashi had never seen Elise so nervous, she couldn't really understand why.

"Gajeel! It' good even to see you! How are you and Levy?" He asked suggestively. Gajeel simply stepped out of the way so Her father could see Elise. Natsu's eyes widened. "Woah woah! Is that your daughter?" He got up right in Elise's face, who looked terrified.

"Yeah, that's Elise!" Levy spoke up. Natsu laughed.

"She looks just like you guys!"

"I-it's good to meet you, Mr. Salamander" Nashi felt like laughing out loud at how nervous she was. Nashi knew Elise respected her father greatly, but this was a bit much.

"Mr. Salamander, huh?" He chuckled. "I like the sound of that!" Elise shied back into the crowd.

"Man, all the younger members are all grown up... oh! speaking of which." He whirled and faced Erza. " I met Your kid on the road."

"You saw Simon?" Erza asked incredulously. "Where?"

"We saw each other at a bar in Hargeon, but he was headed the opposite way. He said it was gonna take him a few weeks to go and collect his reward and come back, maybe even a few months if there is another stage to his job, but he told me to tell you that he's alright" Erza sighed.

"Thank goodness"

"Hi, Natsu!" Kinana said, stepping forward. Natsu turned to her.

"Hey, look at you Kinana! all grown up I see!"

"I could say the same to you, old man"

"So I heard you have a son?"

"That I do. Drake!" Drake stepped forward.

"Hey, Mr. Dragneel" He said formally. The look on Natsu's face was weird.

"Say" He finally murmured. "I recognize you..." Kinana met his gaze, and he nodded. "Anyway, good to meet you." Master Laxus left Nashi's side to go and speak to him.

"Natsu" He said. Natsu grinned.

"Hey Laxus! What's up? Say, speaking of Laxus, where's Gramps?" There was an eerie silence as Laxus sighed.

"Gramps is dead, Natsu" His eyes widened.

"Wha-wha?" Nashi's mother nodded.

"He died ten years ago. heart failure. Laxus is Master now." Nashi noted that her father seemed relatively upset by that.

"Damn, and I wasn't even here for it. Fuck!" He shouted. "Well, good to greet the new Master, I suppose, but..." He sighed in defeat as Mom rubbed his chest comfortingly. "Where's Damien?" Laxus shrugged.

"Hell if I know. He left on that decade quest a while ago... six years?"

"Damn, he must be having difficulty. Has he tried summoning...?"

"No, he promised he'd never use that Demon soul again" Damien had inherited his mothers adaptability for takeover magic, except he called his Demon souls. From stories I had been told, Damien tried summoning one of the most powerful Demon souls he had and had completely trashed Magnolia... and killed his little sister in a frenzy of power and rage. Lucy had always Nashi hold sad and ironic that was, that Mira's son had lost control of his takeover and killed his little sister, just like Elfman thought he had so many years ago. Nashi vaguely remembered Damien's little sister, Stephanie. It mad her sad thinking about it. "He only uses basic demon soul, not... that thing" Nashi noted how Master avoided saying the demons name, as if afraid it would appear out of nowhere and kill everyone.

"You mean Xisplate?" Natsu said, without thinking. Everyone flinched, even Nashi felt a bit scared. Laxus sighed hopelessly.

'Anyway, Lucy, don't you think it's about time you...?" Laxus coughed and gestured in Nashi's direction. She felt her stomach turn into a rock. Her mother met her terrified gaze.

"Oh right," She giggled. "How silly of me. Nashi! Come over here" Nashi stepped back farther into the crowd, but she felt someone push me forward. she turned angrily to find Drake standing there, a stupid smirk plastered on his face. She sighed as she stepped forward, doing her best to hide her face in the scarf.

"Who's this?" Her father demanded. "I like her style though. I mean, just look at that scarf!" Nashi stopped dead in her tracks and glared at her scarf, as if it had just told her it was pregnant. Your his scarf aren't you?! She thought angrily. She stopped glaring at it and looked up to meet her fathers gaze. It was warm and friendly, a look she wasn't eager to return.

"Say," He finally spoke up. "You look a lot like Lucy" Nashi buried her head in her scarf again. She was waiting for her mother to tell him. " Luce, is this girl your cousin or something?" Mother sighed.

"Natsu this is Nashi, she's your..."

"Nice to meet you Nashi! I'm Natsu! But I'm sure everyone's already told you a million stories about how awesome I am! So what magic do you use? Wait, look at those canines! Your a dragon slayer, aren't you?!" Nashi wasn't prepared for her fathers over excited attitude. She nodded weakly. "Awesome! What element?"

"Fire, Natsu" Erza spoke up. He grinned even wider.

"Just like me! That's so cool! We'll have to train together sometime! What generation are you?" Nashi was unsure as how to answer that question. Luckily, all the adults seemed to be as well.

"What generation would Nashi?" Gray asked.

"Juvia thinks it's maybe a new generation, a fourth generation of dragon slayers" Juvia spoke up.

"Fourth, what special thing does fourth have?"

"Natsu" Mom spoke up. Nashi looked down, waiting. "She's a new generation because she's the daughter of another dragon slayer." Natsu eyes widened.

"Really? Who's is she?" Mom swallowed hard. The guild all leaned forward together. Mom sighed and met Dad's gaze.

"She's your daughter, Natsu"

OOOOHHHH cliffhanger! Oh, and the art for this story isn't really how I picture Nashi,(AKA she were the scarf as a scarf not a bra) but, if it helps you picture her later on, all the better.
