That was fun. Well, except for the part where I lost to Erza in dodgeball. And I had to team up with Gray of all people. Gajeel was okay, I guess, but, man... He sucks.

Those new students were rather interesting though. They're kinda like me, having missing parts of themselves. I mean, Gajeel was kinda cool but, seemed a bit of a jackass. I suppose he'll be just as annoying as Gray although, I always love a new rival challenging me. Jellal seemed pretty chill for a blind guy too. I hope we get along this year. Juvia was cute but, I think she's more of Ice Prick's kind of girl. The blonde girl though... What was her name again? Luigi? No... Lucas? No! Lu... LUCY! Her name is Lucy! Damn, was she hot. Golden blonde hair and warm brown eyes-

Almost like...

Blue skies. White clouds. Golden fields. A woman with sakura pink hair blowing in the breeze of a warm summer day.

"Natsu..." her voice was just as warm as the sun lighting up those golden fields.

"Mom?" I tried to call out for her but, she kept running from me.

"Mom?!" I tried shouting again but, she still kept going.

Why was she running from me? Was it something I had done? Does Mom not want me anymore?

"MOM!"

"NATSU DRAGNEEL, GET UP!!!" The sound of the airhorn kept at the front of the classroom is what finally got me to snap out of my dream.

Where was I again? Oh yeah! It's Earth Science-

"Natsu..." a stern voice was speaking over my desk and I look up to see my teacher.

Oh yeah, it's Earth Science... With my brother...

My older brother's name is Zeref Dragneel and he's twenty-one, making him four years older than me. Out of everyone in my family that I can remember, there's not one person that I can say that my brother takes after particularly well. While my mother and I had pink hair the color of salmon, my brother's hair was pitch black, just like the night sky. Nowadays, he leaves his hair in a ponytail and his bangs to frame his face. The only physical thing we had in common were our eyes, the color was dark, almost black if you looked at it a certain way and you might even see a hint of green and red if you make us mad.

Speaking of making us mad, why does Zeref-nii look angry at me? Oh... I fell asleep again...

"After class, Natsu." Zeref sighs grumpily as he walks back to the front of the room to discuss more about tectonic plates.

Damn it, I've got to stop doing that. Maybe staying up on that project isn't such a good idea after all... The bell rings, signalling the end of class but, not for me. As the others finally scurred out of the classroom, Gray and Gajeel chuckle at me sulking in my seat and I flick them off with my flame-painted arm. Fucking assholes... I hope they get their asses handed to them by Erza and that blonde bastard in gym!

I stick my tongue out at them too, making my brother notice and making him chuckle, "Still childish as ever, even after so long..."

He removes the red glasses from over his dark eyes and set them on the table, walking over to my desk and standing next to me.

"You really haven't changed since the accident..." he somberly smiles at me as I grip my arm, slightly chipping the paint off the flames.

"Is that a bad thing, Zeref-nii?" I asked and he begins to ruffle my spiky pink head.

"No, I suppose not. I'm glad actually. I was worried that you were having those dreams again..." I grab his hand messing with my hair and strengthen my grip on it.

"Don't worry about me, Zeref-nii. I'm fine." I smile at him and he sighs, giving a smile back.

"Okay... But, that still won't excuse you from sleeping in my class again, Natsu!"

"DAMN IT!"
_______________________________________________________________________________

The last bell rang for school to end. I sigh, slumping back in my seat and yawning. It's been a long and tiring day. I can't wait to just go home and sleep. Wait-

Why do I feel like I forgot something though?

I get up, grabbing my backpack and making my way to my locker.
_______________________________________________________________________________

"Zeref-nii!" I call out into the hallway as I was skipping to his classroom.

"Natsu!" he shouts back as I see him turn off the lights and lock the door on the way out.

"So, did you call Dad and told him we're heading home?" I asked.

"Yes, Natsu. I did." Zeref hung his key back on the lanyard around his neck.

"Okay... And about today?" I smiled, hoping he hadn't told Dad about me sleeping in class again.

"Yes, Natsu. I told him about that too. He said that he also found out you were failing Geometry and Global Studies. He said to mention that you're grounded." Zeref gave his smug smirk and I frowned.

"I hate you." I said as he opened the school door open for me.

"Love you too, little brother." he chuckles as we exit the school building.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Since the accident and even a little bit afterwards, I've been living with my brother, my little adopted brother and our foster father in a nice little house near school. My foster father is a cop so, the money in the house wasn't exactly enough to pay rent sometimes. Fortunately, when Zeref turned nineteen, he earned his teaching degree (because my bro is a smartass motherfucker) and started helping Dad with the bills. Happy, at least that's his nickname, is my adopted brother. I found him in a box in the street when he was a baby and I just fell in love with him. I mean, who would leave an innocent baby in a box in the street? Seriously, who does that?!

Anyway, the tiny blunette is twelve and goes around in a sleeveless blue hoodie and green sweatshorts with fish-printed sneakers. If you pull the hood up, he'd have cat ears to show on his baby blue head. Igneel couldn't say no to me when I found him. I know that with him around, I'll need to find a job soon to start pitching in too but, I don't know who'd hire a pyrotechnic with a missing arm and leg and absolutely no skill for staying in one place.

My foster father goes by the name of Igneel Dragneel. He is not exactly a man you could easily please. So, having him as a father for the adolescent half of your life can be... Interesting, so to speak. He was caring and loving, as a father should be and protective, so very protective. But, don't get me wrong, he ain't no pushover. He can be strict too.

As we pull up into the driveway, Happy was waving to us on the porch.

"Natsu-nii, Zeref-nii!" he shouted happily as he stuck a sardine in his mouth.

I still don't know how he can eat those things just out of the can.

"Hi, Happy!" I got out of the car and messed with his fuzzy blue head.

"Natsu!" Zeref shouts and Happy begins to chuckle.

"Are you in trouble again?" he pulls a smug smirk and I frown.

"Natsu's in trouble~!" he rolls the 'r' sound. God, he's such a cat.

"Oh, shut it!" I shout, opening the front door of the house and going into the kitchen, only to greeted by my foster father sitting at the dining room table.

"Hi Igneel..." I nervously laughed. Needless to say, he didn't look happy with me.

"Natsu... I heard from Zeref that you were sleeping in class again." Igneel crossed his arms over his chest as Zeref and Happy came into the room and sat at the table.

"Yeah... I was ex- Studying! I was studying for Mr. Evergreen's class! Yep!" I tried to make an excuse and Igneel raised an eyebrow.

"Natsu, for one thing, you suck at lying. Second, Ms. Evergreen is a woman. Thirdly, you don't studying for anything except Chemistry so, spill it. What are you hiding?" Zeref tore my lie apart and started to pull the pressure onto me.

"Um..." There was no out to this and if I made another excuse, I'd probably just get caught again.

"I hate to do this, son but, you've left me no choice. Arm." Igneel pulls his hand out, commanding me to hand over my flame arm.

Shit. Still, I can't argue with my officer father so, I popped off the arm and handed it over to him. He instantly went and unwrapped the bandages covering the deltoid and began to dig out of the hollowness. Then, he discovered my secret project: Bombs.

Like I said, I'm a pyrotechnician with missing limbs and only have one extremely good grade in Chemistry. Instead of studying, I made little mini-bombs using anything I can find. Right now, Igneel just found the largest of my stash: the classic Cherry Bomb. Cherry bombs are lethal, if in the wrong hands and I only have one hand so... Probably not a good idea for me to handle it.

"Natsu, what have I told you about making assault weapons and stashing them in your limbs?!" Igneel shouts and Happy snickers for me being in trouble.

"Not to do it?" I laughed and Igneel and Zeref were not amused.

"And I thought we wouldn't need to do this..." Igneel sighs and Zeref pulls out his computer from his bag.

"What?!" I was slightly afraid of what they might have in store for me.

Zeref logs into his computer and pulls up the school website. From there, he pulls out a... Club application sheet?

"It seems that you have too much time on your hands if you can make so many homemade bombs during class. So, Igneel and I were talking and we believe that putting you in a club will help with all... This." Zeref points to my non-living limbs and my bombs, only making Happy laugh harder.

"With what? Accepting that I'm a cyborg?" I scoffed, grabbing an apple and chomping into it.

"No, it's to channel all this energy into a club activity." Zeref pulls on his glasses as he begins to read of the list of clubs I can go into with my condition.

I don't really like the clubs at my school. Besides, I don't exactly fit in with most people, given that in my spare time I make cherry bombs and have two missing limbs. The only way that I might actually enjoy being in a club if there were others like me in it... But, there are others like me in school. Gray and Erza and Gajeel and that cute blonde too... What if-

"What if I make my own club?" I ask and Zeref and Igneel perked up.

"What do you mean?" Zeref asks.

"What you do mean what do I mean? I'll never be able to fit in with the students in all the other clubs so, I'll make my own club with people just like me! I'll even invite Gray for christ's sake!" I shout and Zeref begins to chuckle.

"If you're that determined to even start a club with Gray Fullbuster of all people, I'm sure you can make one work." he begins to type on his computer, "So, what exactly do you want to call this club of yours, Natsu?"

"Hmm... What about the Amputee Club?"
