"LUCY~!" Natsu said, jumping out of her window. He jumped on the bed and landed on the floor.

"Is Lucy here?" asked Happy. Both of them wanted to tell Lucy they have another quest going on, but they couldn't seem to find her anywhere. They did noticed a strange thing on her desk.

"Happy, do you know what that is?" Natsu asked. Happy shrugged. Natsu was about to touch it, when he heard Lucy yell. "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH IT!" Natsu and Happy backed away from it immediately and saw an angry blonde.

"Hi, Lucy!" Natsu said cheerfully.

"Sorry, its just that it's brand new and was given to me by my father for a present before he..." Lucy said, muttering.

"Oh. So what is it?" Natsu asked.

"It's called a 'laptop'. It's basically a computer that's portable as long as you have internet access," Lucy explained, praying that he understood it all. Both of them had blank looks on their faces.

"So...what's a computer? And what's internet?" Happy asked. Lucy sighed. This was going to be a long day.

"A computer is like a machine that you use to store files and look up stuff and...other things. I'll try to make it simple," Lucy said, "So this pad right here is the mouse and you type things in by using these letters and numbers. The internet is what you can use to search for information."

"Oh! You mean I can search for ways to find Igneel?" Natsu said, his eyes gleaming with joy. Lucy sweatdropped again.

"Yeah...I think?" Lucy said. Then she sat Natsu on the chair and demonstrated a little.

"Okay. If you promise you won't destroy it, I'll let you use it," Lucy said.

"We promise!" Natsu and Happy said. And so she directed Natsu to the internet and he began to use it. Lucy was drinking a cup of tea peacefully, until...

"Lucy! Look at this!" Natsu yelled. She dropped her cup from being surprise and then sighed. She clambered over to the desk and looked at the monitor.

"What is it?" she asked, annoyed.

"It's this place called fanfiction archive and it has all our names in here!" Happy said, tossing away the fish bones.

"Really? How do they know us?" Lucy asked, suddenly interested.

"I don't know, but I bet they have in-for-ma-tion about me kicking Gray's ass!" Natsu said, looking around the site. He clicked on one of the stories.

"Natsu! What are you doing?" Lucy asked, for Natsu was suddenly squinting at the computer, trying to read the tiny wording.

"Fine. I'll read it," Lucy said, pushing Natsu aside.

Title: The Dragons' Children

"Oh! Maybe this has some stuff about Igneel!" Natsu said, excitedly.

"Lucy? What are tigers?" Natsu asked.

"I KNOW! They're grown-up female cats! The males become lions and the females become tigers!" Happy said, jumping up and down excitedly.

"Mama?" Called out a young Lucy as her mother would not respond

"Mama!" Lucy was now sobbing, when she heard the door open revealing her father

"Papa!" she yelled running up to him, but he just walked right past her and went straight over to his wife Layla

"What the hell happened to all the periods?" Lucy muttered.

Lucy stood there for minutes watching as her father's shock expression was quickly washed over with from sadness to anger. He turned to the young blonde girl and yelled "WHAT HAPPENED HERE!" Lucy was to scared,upset, and shocked to answer that's when her father came towards her a little more closer and yelled again "WHAT HAPPENED!" as he yelled that was when his son and Lucy's brother, Sting, came running in the room.

"Lucy? I didn't know Sting was your brother. And he beat you up in the Games? Bastard how could you do that to your own sister..." Natsu said.

"Natsu, this is a story," Lucy sighed.

As he came in, he saw his father with a fiery look in his eyes looking down at Lucy as his father was coming closer. He stepped in front of Lucy that's when his father snapped,grabbing the two children and throwing them into their room that they was sharing and locked the door.

Lucy sat there showing no emotion, Sting walked up to her worried for his sister's well being, he asked "Lucy are you ok? what happened?" she didn't answer.

"Oh, so you're worried for the first time, but then you're not now?" Natsu said.

"Natsu, this is a story," Lucy muttered.

This is what it was like for the next year Lucy would not talk, play, she ate very little and, never left their bedroom. Sometimes she would wake up screaming and Sting would comfort her, he blamed his father for Lucy's behavior so one night he told Lucy to pack her things. she did.

"Wow, Lucy. Your life sucked when you were little," Happy noted.

"A story...just a story..." Lucy said, trying not to get angry.

He was happy that his sister responded but she still didn't talk which also made him sad.

After they was done packing Sting and Lucy were about to leave when they heard a maid. The maid smiled and handed Lucy three golden keys that belonged to her mother. That was when the young blonde smiled a real smile not the fake ones she did, Sting was happy for his sister but that was not all the maid handed, leaning over to Sting and said in a hushed voice "It's the birthday present your mother picked out" Sting nodded.

"I don't get it...how come Sting and you were siblings...but then he was raised by a dragon..." Natsu wondered.

They left that night not knowing where they were going they just left the house that held so many bad memories and never looked back.

"And that's the end of chapter one!" Lucy said, finally thankful it was over. She couldn't stand the fact that the author put her and Sting as siblings.

"That story was as boring as hell," Natsu said.

"Natsu! That's rude!" Lucy scolded.

"But, it was boring!" Natsu whined.

"What's boring?" They turned around and saw Erza and Gray coming in through the window.

"I have a door, you know..." Lucy said.
