He grinned watching the small girl next to him walk along the river side. Shoulder length blond hair kept in pigtails and big brown eyes staring in the distance. She skipped and wobbled a little as she landed.

"Watch out or you'll fall.", the older blond said. Stormy blue eyes watching her intently.

The girl just nodded in response and continued skipping. She started to hum a soft tune, making a little twirl as she did.

He grinned at her. He should actually teach her a lesson for being so reckless. Everyone had warned her countless times to watch out, because she would fall in one day. He remembered gramps almost having a heart attack when she slipped a few weeks ago. She was able to regain her balance, but still. If she hadn't.

She was able to swim, but she sure would have trouble against the river's currents. Considering she was only eleven and fairly little for her age, not to mention that she got ill quite fast.

He glanced over to the said girl to see her still merrily skipping. Smirking he brought his hand up to her shoulder and gave it a ruff nudge. She, off course, she squirmed and lost her balance, flaying her arms in the air to regain balance.

Just as she was about to fall off the ledge the older blond caught her.

"Laxu-Nii! What was that for?!", the small blond asked still a little frightened.

Laxus smirked, "Teaching you a lesson to be more careful.", he shrugged.

The girl pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. He just chuckled and continued walking.

"I wouldn't have fallen if you didn't push me!", the girl called in response, running to catch up with him.

"Maybe.", Laxus answered.

She grumbled something in response and punched his arm with her small fist.

Laxus laughed, "Oh, come on Lulu, don't get all mad at me. I just wanted to teach a lesson, because next time I won't be there to catch ye.", he said petting her head with his large hand.

Lucy huffed, "Like I said, I won't need catching because no one would be pushing me!". She swatted away his hand.

Laxus grinned and picked his little sister up onto his back. She automatically wound her small arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. She proceeded to hum the small tune.

Laxus closed his eyes and enjoyed the peaceful moment. It was morning and they were both heading towards the guild. Lucy had only shortly become an official member of the guild due to her age and he was going to take her on her first mission.

He had to admit that he had been dreading the day since she got her stamp. If anything were to happen to her, he knew he would never ever forgive himself. She could of course hold up quite a fight, she could use a little lightning magic (taught by him of course), water magic and had 7 gold gate keys. Even though she could only summon one at a time for only a short while, Laxus was still dammed proud of his little sister.

He himself had gained his immense power due to the dragon lacrima that had been implanted, but Lucy luckily didn't have to go through that. She had learned all her magic by herself with help of mother, gramps and himself.

Thinking about it, he had been pissed that gramps had kicked his father out of the guild at first. But then he realised that Lucy would have probably also have gotten a lacrima implanted in her if their father had staid. And thinking about his little sister having to go through such a tremendous amount of pain gave him shiffers.

Feeling her brother's shiffers, Lucy looked up to the side of his face. He seemed in deep thought and she knew better than to disturb him when he was like that. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder again. She did love her brother a lot.

She had been nervous about going on a mission first, but knowing Laxus was by her side. She knew nothing bad could happen. Her brother was the strongest mage in all of Fairy Tail after all! He always watched out for her. If it was Natsu trying to steal her food or Evergreen trying to dress her up in a fairy costume, he would always be there. He could sense her distress and would be there in a flash to safe her. Like a prince she would always think.

Not that she actually minded Evergreen dressing her up, she loved dressing up. It was what would happen after she got dressed up with that weirdo team that her brother had that bothered her. She loved them all a lot , but Bixlow would always call her Cosplayer and Freed would spend the next twenty minutes praising her about the most trivial things.

Seeing the guild come up, Laxus nudged his sister to wake her from her thoughts. She jumped a little and looked around franticly. Laxus chuckled and pointed ahead of him. Her face immediately lit up and she jumped from her brothers back.

She ran up to the guild doors and with all her strength she pushed them open. They slightly opened, enough for her to creep through, so she squeezed in and greeted everyone.

"Good morning everyone!", She waved.

Numerous greetings were shouted back and she ran up to her best friend Levy, who was sitting in a corner reading a book.

"Good morning Levy! How are you?", she greeted sitting next to the bluenette.

"Good morning Lu-chan, I'm good. Why are you so exited?", Levy asked the bubbly blond.

"Because Laxu-nii is taking me on my first mission.", Lucy said with a huge smile on her face.

"What?! You get to go on a mission with Laxus? No fair, why do you get to go?", Natsu said popping up out of nowhere.

"Because she's my little sister you idiot. Come on Lulu let's go get a request.", Laxus replied walking hand in hand with his little sister towards the mission board.

Lucy smiled warmly at her big brother. Like she said, he was always there when she needed him.

"So which mission do you want to do?", Laxus asked.

Lucy looked at the board for a while. She didn't want to pick a difficult one yet, but she did want one with a little fighting.

"How about this one?", she said holding up a flyer.

Laxus scanned the paper. It read, 'Please help us, there is a Vulcan attacking our village. Reward 300.00 jewls.' They should be able to handle that.

"Oke squirt, say bye to your friends and I'll tell Mira that were taking the mission. "

Lucy huffed at the mocking nickname and ran over to her friends.

"Levy, Natsu, Grey, Erza! I'm going on a mission. Wish me lots of luck I'll probably be back in one day.", Lucy said approaching her good friends.

"Cool Luce, next mission were doing together.", Natsu grinned swinging an arm over my shoulder.

"Good luck Lucy, you still owe me ice-cream so you better come back well.", Grey smirked at her sing his shirt in the progress.

"Good luck Lu-chan I know you can do it. Oh, and if you see any good books buy them so we can read them together.", Levy smiled.

"Good luck Lucy, I know you'll do well.", Erza gave Lucy a soft smile.

Lucy waved at them one more time before running back to Laxus who was already waiting by the door. She loved that I had such good friends.

"You all ready?", Laxus asked her.

She nodded and skipped out of the guild. He smiled at and petted her head affectionately. She pouted at his actions. He took her small hand in his large one and they both thought,

'I love my big brother/little sister.'
