Chapter 4: Pink Hair and Chocolate Eyes
Wendy together with her white exceed, Charle, was having their small tea party at the guild lounge with Macao's eccentric son, Romeo. The two, Wendy and Romeo, were having their small sweet chat while the white cat just sat there, pretending not to listen on their conversation but whenever Romeo was saying something cheesy, the boy could swear he could hear the white cat's little "hmmp" which made him a little uncomfortable. Wendy will just mouth the words "She's just being tsundere" to him making both of them giggle. The overprotective white exceed will just roll her eyes at them and look the opposite way with her trademark "hmmp". But then, her expression suddenly shifted from being irritated to being shocked as her squinty eyes grew big and her mouth gaped open. The white exceed unconsciously put her little paw to her forehead which made Wendy worried.
"Ahhm, Charle? Is something wrong?" She asked as she tried to hold the free paw of her little friend. But as soon as her small hands made contact with her friend's white petite paws, Charle swayed her hand which made her more bothered. When the exceed realized what she had done, She put both her paws on her face and manage to say a small weak "Sorry" to Wendy. She flew toward the door which made Wendy and Romeo stood and follow the flying exceed with their gazes.
"My head suddenly ached, I'll head home first." She said not looking to them.
"Don't you want me to heal it for you?" Wendy offered.
"No… no I'm fine. I'll just go home and rest. See you later." She finished and head towards the door, leaving Romeo and Wendy confused. Wendy knew that Charle will never leave her alone with Romeo even if the world is collapsing, much less, a headache which bothers her a lot while she watched the flying white cat soar up in the sky.
"Who the Hell is this pink-haired, chocolate-eyed girl?" Charle muttered as she flew towards fairy hills.
Meanwhile, at the celestial mage's apartment, Lucy, Natsu and their soon to be daughter disguised as Natsu's cousin, Nashi had been practicing what they will say. Natsu and Nashi were sitting at the sofa while Lucy, while holding some paper, was instructing them what to say to the guild.
"So… Remember the time and space rule, Natsu! No telling about Nashi being… you know." Lucy said while lowering her voice as she said the last two words and eyed the windows and doors as if spies were around them.
"Yeah yeah I know. I am not an idiot, Luce!" Natsu said as he carelessly sat at the sofa looking bored.
"Just don't let it slip through your tongue or I'll cut it!" Lucy said threatening the poor guy who just gulped and said "Aye!"
"Okay, I think we are good. I just hope nothing goes wrong." Lucy prayed knowing that WRONG always happens. Still, she will do all her best to keep her daughter safe.
As they reached the guild, Natsu and Lucy gulped. 'This is it!' both of them thought. With each of their hands, they pushed the door with their heartbeats as background music.
The guild was as loud as ever and nobody had noticed them at first. Nashi seemed overwhelmed by the festive atmosphere the guild was emitting. Her mouth gaped and her eyes sparkled. Her eyes visited every corner of the guild and as she gazed at each corner, more 'whoa' left her lips.
Lucy saw her kid's enthusiasm. She felt like she had done something great. She noted that later, she will interview her daughter why she felt that way while she might have saw the guild in the future. She can only guess that maybe a lot had changed and it is just refreshing how new and young the guild and the guild members are to Nashi.
Their little peaceful sightseeing shattered when Elfman shouted.
"Hey, Natsu, Lucy. Who's that kid?"
Everyone's eyes focused to them. Lucy and Natsu started to sweat. Awkward silence. The two seemed speechless. Everyone was waiting for their answer. They are all eyeing Nashi, who is still at awe with how the guild looks. Thank God Erza saved them.
"Nashi! It's good that your Natsu-nii took you here to visit the guild. How does it looks to you?" Erza said with her elder sister attitude.
'Natsu-nii?!' was everyone in the guild's thought.
"It's wonderful Erza-nee!" Nashi replied with her eyes still gleaming with delight.
"Come on Nashi. Introduce yourself in front of all the guild members." Erza encouraged her with her soothing sister-like voice, which Nashi gladly followed.
"Etto~ I am Nashi Dragneel, Natsu-nii's cousin. Nice meeting you all!"
Everyone in the guild started to talk but most of the talks were about little Nashi. People started to surround her and Natsu asking them a lot of question.
"Why didn't you tell us you have such a cute cousin, Natsu?"
"Why are you here, Nashi?"
"Are you staying here in Magnolia for a while?"
"Are you joining Fairy Tail?"
All of the questions overwhelmed the father and daughter tandem. They tried to answer all the questions thrown to them keeping in mind all of Lucy's instructions. But at the lounge, Wendy frowned as she felt some strange feeling with their new visitor.
"She's kinda strange, she smells like sweet vanilla and fire crackers combined. She's kinda strange." Was Wendy's comment.
On the other side of the guild, while munching some cans, the iron dragon slayer seemed to feel the strange feeling Wendy had felt.
"There is something familiar mixed with her scent aside from the salamander's scent. What could it be?" was Gajeel's reaction.
The two dragon slayer, out of curiosity, walked towards the new visitor and tried to know what they are smelling is all about. As Gajeel passed Lucy who was sweating a lot because of nervousness, Gajeel smelled the scent of vanilla. The same smell that were mixed with the salamander's scent.
"AHA! That's yours and Salamanders scent mixed together!" Gajeel blurted out which made Wendy realize it too.
"Yeah! That's right! It's Lucy-san and Natsu-san's scent!"
"W-what are you guys talking about?" Lucy asked stuttering while a whole bunch of sweat started to form at her forehead.
With all the commotions made by the iron and sky dragon slayers, the whole members who were swarming around Natsu and Nashi faced Lucy, then to Natsu.
"Hey Wendy, Gajeel, what do you mean?" Gray asked while taking off his tops and making the rain woman, Juvia squeak.
"Like I said, the little girl there smells like bunny girl and Salamander's scent mixed together." Gajeel announced which made the members confused.
"Ehh! What does that mean?" Romeo, who just followed Wendy from the lounge asked.
"Well I don't know, it's like she's their daughter or something." Gajeel blurted making a whole bunch of fairies gasp.
"W-what do you mean daughter, t-that's impossible! S-she's my c-cousin, that's why I somewhat smell l-like her." Natsu explained while stuttering which made his statements crowd seemed to not buy Natsu's comments and continued to discuss the matter.
"Ehhh! Is that possible? She's their daughter?"
"As if!"
"Hey, what if they were hiding her this whole years?"
"Ehhh! Is that even possible?"
"Are they in a relationship or something?"
"Will they get married?"
As the rumours kept on spreading and get a lot more exaggerated, Lucy decided to stand up.
"STOP IT! She has the same smell as Natsu and me because… that's because… Nashi is staying with me!" Lucy blurted the truth out. She doesn't know what to say.
"Ehhhh? Why is she staying with you? She is Natsu's cousin right?"
"Well… t-that's because… ahhm… because she's a girl and I can't imagine her living with Natsu and Happy at their little house in the forest." Lucy reasoned.
"Ahhh, that's why Natsu and Nashi was at your apartment last night?"
"Y-yes." Lucy nervously replied. In that instant, Happy burst in and hurriedly scolded Natsu.
"Natsu, why didn't you come home yesterday? I was waiting for you!" Happy angrily said which made the guild members gasp again.
"Natsu didn't went home?"
"Did he stayed with Lucy?"
Ehhhh? How romantic!"
"Are they going out?"
With all the commotions happening in front of Lucy, the poor celestial mage can't help but to turn red. She doesn't know what to do nor what to say. If the rumours spread, Nashi might get in trouble and the soon to be mother doesn't want that.
'What should I do?'
"I asked Natsu-nii to stay with us last night because someone was following me when I reached the town." Nashi said innocently. Lucy can't believe how flawless her lies were. Somehow, she felt bad knowing that she is the mother of this girl. She doesn't know how she raised Nashi to grow like this. But now, she shrugged the thought knowing that the lies saved her and Natsu and especially, her daughter, Nashi.
"Y-yeah, we don't know who or how many are they so I asked Natsu for help. He is her cousin after all. Lucy supported Nashi's claims.
The whole guild seemed to buy the story. Of course they will knowing Natsu who is known for being as thick and dense as ever. It seemed impossible for him to fall in love, much more, to date someone. But then again, behind the bar counters, Lucy saw a glint in the eyes of the infamous match maker of fairy tail. She seemed to be enjoying what was happening.
A few hours more and Nashi, known as Natsu's cute little cousin, is still the star of the day. A swarm of people gathered around her asking questions. The guild was as noisy as ever. That's when the strongest man in fairy tail came out.
"What's all the noise about?" Master Makarov, who was staying on his office a minute ago slammed the door open, looking pretty pissed. But as soon as his eyes first lay its gaze on the guild's visitor, his expression changed to inquisitive one.
"Who's that girl?" He asked.
"Master, she is Natsu's cousin." Erza answered.
"Natsu's?" He repeated. "Natsu, you have a cousin?" He asked again turning this time to Natsu.
"Y-Yes!" Natsu stiffly answered. But Master didn't seemed to bother. His expression soften as he approached the little girl.
"Hey, I'm Makarov Dreyar, Fairy Tail's master, what's your name little one?" he softly asked as if he is Nashi's grandfather.
"I am Nashi, Nashi Dragneel." Nashi answered somewhat feeling at ease.
"Ohh hi Nashi, what are you doing here in Fairy Tail?"
"I-I am visiting Natsu-nii because my uncle asked me to visit him." This time, Nashi seemed bothered, uncomfortable.
"I see, so are you staying here in Magnolia?" Master asked again.
"No, maybe just a week." Nashi answered.
"A week huh? Seemed like it is a short time for us to know you. Why don't we party tonight?" Master announced and the whole guild roar with cheers.
Music plays and foods are endless. The drinks were limited because they have a kid with them but still the party is at heat. The whole guild sang and dance even though it is still afternoon. They chat and laugh and joke. Gajeel is now performing his second song which made Natsu and the rest's ears burst. Lucy laugh while talking with her girlfriends, Levy and Lisanna. The whole guild seemed to be enjoying the party.
Night came and the white exceed is now red with anger. She can't believe how Wendy can be irresponsible like this. It is the first time that she let the sky dragon slayer on her own with Romeo and this is how she will repay her? At that moment, Charle decided to flew to fairy tail where her little friend seemed to be enjoying so much.
"That little girl!" Charle said as she used her wings and set off towards the partying guild. Little did she know that the 'little girl' that she'll meet will have pink hair and chocolate eyes, not dark blue hair and brown eyes.
