It's morning and the sun shines through the window. A little girl lies in the bed with a blue cat beside her. An open book still in her tiny hands indicating she fell asleep while reading how the dragon saved all the animals on the farm.

Beside the bed stand a raven haired man in his early twenties. He makes a soft and low chuckle. "Still hot headed to do what you want huh?"

He shakes the girls shoulder gently, but she doesn't wake up.

He tries a little harder but she's still fast asleep.

He sighs and tries something else. He makes his breath cold and blows it in the girl's neck. She doesn't wake up but the cat does. "Gray? What are you doing?"

The raven haired looked defeated. "I'm trying to wake Natsu up but whatever I do she stays asleep."

Happy looks at his sleeping friend, "alright, hang on."

Wings appears and he flies out closing the door, seconds later he comes back with some warm meat. And as he opens the door the nose of the little girl wiggles for a second. And the raven haired leans closer to see if it's actually working...

"FOOD!"

And as if she was awake for hours she jumps out of bed while her hands and feet are on fire, accidently hitting Gray in the face and knocking him on the floor.

The food was gone in a second and when the girl hears a groan she looks around. "Oy, stripper~! Why are you sleeping on the floor?"

Natsumi is indeed, still Natsu.

Oblivious as ever.

Natsumi was dressed in another dress bought by Mira. Apparently Mira got rid of Natsumi's old clothes she had packed for the coming days so she had no choice but to wear the girly clothes. Gray told her to wait at the bar while he and Happy looked for suitable requests for a five year old, who still had strong powers.

Lucy and Erza were sitting next to Natsu and they were playing with Natsumi's action figures.
She had a lot more since everyone in the guild wanted her to have an action figure of themselves so they bought one and gave it to her.
Normally they would have their own special shelve in Natsumi's room, but she felt bead leaving them behind while she was gone so she just took them with her.

Lucy was inspecting how Natsumi had added some things to the dolls that only she could come up with. She had even removed the Gray doll his clothes (except the pant of course) because she didn't find it natural for him to wear a shirt.

Natsumi was crafting a new armor for Erza with foil and feathers. Saying Erza wasn't Erza without her Heaven's Wheel Armor. And Erza was helping by posing in the armor so Natsumi could make it perfect.

"Done!" stated Natsumi. She jumped of the chair to show her creation to every single person in the guild. But she couldn't find a certain someone.

"Where'd Gray go to?" She asked Lucy when she came back. Lucy looked at the request board but only found Happy. "I don't know." She said and looked around.

"I'll look for him." Said Erza, feeling merciless for leaving their friend he was responsible for today without saying anything. Lucy gulped while Natsumi just chirped. "Okay~!"

She put her Erza doll next to her Mystogan/Jellal doll which caused Erza to blush. "I'll play with the people here until he's back." And with that she ran off to Gajeel.

"What do ya want?" Grunted Gajeel. While Natsumi tried to look as sweet as possible.

"You're good with making things? Right Gajeel-chan?" she asked in the sweetest voice possible.

"Yeah so?" he said.

"Can you make me something to play on? Like a slide or something?" she asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

"No." Gajeel replied.

"Gajeel. That's mean." Lucy said while Natsumi pouted.

"Whatever. I'm not making anything for this brat." He said as he crossed his arms. Natsumi huffed and climbed on his back.

"What are you doing!?" Gajeel yelled trying to reach the kid, but he couldn't. Natsumi picked a place to hold on where he couldn't reach. And she leaned close to his ear.

"If you make me something I'll tell Levy-chan how nice I think you are~."

That hit the spot, even though Gajeel didn't want to admit it he did have a spot for the blue haired girl. But he did.

And mere seconds later, there stood a set of hand crafted, iron swings in the middle of the guild hall. Natsumi kept her promise. She ran over to Levy and pulled on her hands taking her along. "Levy-chan~! Come look what Gajeel-chan made just for me! Isn't he the coolest!?"

She made levy sit on one of the swings while she sat down on the other. "Romeo-chan! Can you push me? And Gajeel-chan can push Levy-chan!" she yelled happily.

The now 18 Romeo was pushing the girl while Gajeel awkwardly pushed Levy who was blushing really hard.

After a short while Erza came back in the guild with a beaten up Gray and a beaten up Juvia. Gray was beaten for leaving his pink haired responsibility and Juvia was beaten because she was the reason Gray left since she was chasing him like a crazy person and Gray tried to escape.

She noticed the swings and asked Lucy, "Why is there a set of swings in the middle of the guild hall?"

Lucy giggled. "Natsu manipulated Gajeel into making it. I also noticed that when she wants something she'll call everyone '-chan'"

"I see." Erza said and they both looked at Natsumi poking a blushing but passed out Levy with a stick while making Gajeel panic by saying that she might be dead. (Which she isn't!) She saw the passed out Gray and Juvia, walked over and started poking them. While she poked Gray would give an annoyed grunt and Juvia would giggle while saying. "Gray-sama~. Don't do that to Juvia it tickles~."

She lost interest in Juvia and kept poking Gray until he started waking up. When he opened his eye he was greeted with a poke right in it.

While Gray was silently cursing of the pain Natsumi just giggled. "Good you're awake! Let's do a job!"

And right on que, Happy came flying with some requests.

Their job was to entertain some guests in a local café. Their award would depend on how many guests would like them and thus, pay more. If they'd do a successful job they'd get 10% of the incomings.

Gray wanted to do something to help. But Natsumi wouldn't let him saying it was her job. Not his. So Gray just sat down at a table with Happy, Lucy and Erza who wanted to come along as well.

Natsumi stood at the stage and had all guests around her finger with how cute she was. She was doing the only thing she could properly do with her magic without losing control.

She was telling one of her dragon stories while making figures of fire. Which could walk/float around the room without burning anything. Her friends (except Happy who knew this all along) never knew she could do something like this. It was quite obvious since she used to use her magic for fighting and not story telling.

As she told stories people didn't want to leave the café and thus kept ordering drinks while they kept watching the adorable girl. The café even got so full some people had to stand while listening to the stories.

They walked on the streets following Natsumi around. "You got quite some money Natsu. Are you going to buy candy?" Asked Lucy.

"Or a cake?" asked Erza.

"Natsumi just shook her head. While she kept walking. "Are you going to save it for something special?" Gray tried. But Natsumi still shook her head.

She finally stopped walking and pointed at a building. "I'm going to spent it right there!"

Her friends all looked at the building. "A sewing shop?" Lucy questioned.

Natsumi nodded with glee all over her face. "I'm going to buy a pretty fabric so mommy can make me one of those pretty dresses she makes for her work."

Erza was confused. "Can't your mommy make you one without getting the fabric yourself?" she asked.

"Yes she can, but that fabric is for her job to make money. And I don't want mommy to use those just for me."

Lucy couldn't hold it in anymore and hugged Natsumi while rubbing their cheeks. "Natsu that's so adorable! You're too cute!"

They were walking around the store while Natsumi was looking for a good fabric and Lucy summoned Virgo to help with finding one of good quality.

Natsu had chosen a dark blue, almost black, fabric. Along with pure white to make a good under slip. And as an accessory, she chose a gold ribbon.

And since they had money left she decided to but some more fabrics. She got a purple one, a light gray underdress and a white ribbon.

Gray couldn't help but notice the colors the chose were the same ones she had on her old outfits. The dark blue of her regular outfit and the purple one of her outfit during the Grand Magic Games.

It was in the afternoon and they returned to the guild. They sat down to have some drinks together and Natsumi wanted to sit by the counter so she could tell Mira about the fabrics and show them.

Juvia overheard the conversation about how Jill could make beautiful dresses and she decided to ask the mother to make her a stunning dress so she could make Gray fall for her.

She even went to the same store to buy the most expensive and stunning blue fabric.

"I didn't know your mother made dresses Natsu." Erza said while drinking her tea. She couldn't wait for her cake as dessert tonight.

"It's like a side job mommy does with the planning. She gets asked a lot to make wedding dresses." Said Natsumi.

"Do you have pictures or something to show us?" asked Lucy. Gray wasn't really listening. Dresses aren't really his thing. Heck, clothes aren't his thing.

Natsumi thought for a second, "I believe some of her dresses get into magazines. One called women's something."

"You mean women's fashion?! (Terrible name, I know...)" Said Lucy. That was one of the best fashion magazines around! To have your designs published is almost the highest honor!

Natsumi just nodded, she didn't really care. She was just happy her mom could make such pretty things.

"Speaking of magazines. I heard Jason from Sorcerer's weekly is coming today to see if the rumors of Natsu's return are true." Said Mira while cleaning a glass.

Natsumi immediately had a look as if she was dying. She hated that magazine. She read it while she was away from the guild to know what's going on. But she never liked that Jason guy. He was noisy and annoying.

But Lucy found it amazing. "Maybe we could do a photo-shoot!" she exclaimed.

"I'm not doing a photo-shoot." Said a grumpy Natsumi.

Lucy had managed Natsumi to do a photo-shoot for Jason. But Natsumi would only agree if they would be with her.

Jason found it an incredible idea. He made an article named, 'strongest team of Fairy Tail reunited!' He was screaming the entire time 'COOL!'

Afterwards he said that he was so excited he would place the article in the release of tomorrow! Along with an alike interview with Sabretooth.

Natsumi sweat dropped and told him he was a true idiot. In which he had responded. "STILL THE SAME AS YOU USED TO! SO COOL!"

The day came to its end and since Gray was the babysitter it was his job to tuck Natsumi in.

"Did you go to the toilet yet?" he asked Natsumi who was in her pajamas. Her hair was put in a bun by Erza since she said her mother always did that when she would go to sleep.

"Yes." She said.

Gray let out a fake disappointed sight. "I know you're lying."

"I'm not lying." She said.

"Yes you are, your nose is blue. And did you know your nose turns blue when you lie."

Natsumi looked shocked and held her hands over her nose. "Really?"

"Yes. Now go do what you have to do." Natsumi obeyed and went to the toilet. Moments later she had washed her hands and came back.

"Did you brush your teeth?" Gray asked.

Natsumi held her hands overher nose and replied. "Yes.
