"Come on, Nat-Chan~! This is how you do it!" Sting said, walking ahead of the baby, very slowly; showing him how to do the movement.

However, 'Nat-Chan', was to busy playing with his toy dragon's, that he didn't see Sting. At all. Said person, pouted; clearly, annoyed.

"Ha! Now it's my turn!" Gajeel, said. The small raven haired boy, suddenly, walked in front of the baby boy, and picked the rosette up from his hand's.

The rosy baby, unexpectedly, had dropped his toy dragon's; from being startled at the sudden action.

He felt his small, chubby, legs touch the floor and started 'walking' with Gajeel. Mentioned person, however, was walking, backwards, so Natsu could walk, forwards.

But it was becoming, uncomfortable, walking backwards, and Natsu; who saw this, and especially, not being able to play with his toy's, anymore, had suddenly, started, crying.

Hearing the sudden, wailing; Gajeel, quickly, stopped, all movements. His other siblings, who heard it, as well; ran towards them, and saw what all the commotion was about.

Laxus, being the eldest of the six; quickly, picked the wailing baby up. "What's going on here!?" He yelled.

He didn't like seeing his baby brother cry; it just wasn't like Natsu to, cry. He was a cheerful baby, but at the very moment; he was the opposite.

The blond, bounced, his brother in his arms; until, he was finally and softy, settled down. Natsu looked around to see his brother's, all around him.

He was confused at seeing them, here, until he saw his older brother, Gajeel, come towards him, and give him his toy back.

The latter looked, guilty. Until, he saw Natsu, instantly, cheering up and giggling, loudly.

"We were just, trying, to see who can make Nat-Chan walk, first!" Sting, yelled.

Sting and Gajeel, had started a challenge on who can do such thing. However, they were both, completely, oblivious to what'll come, after this.

"So... You idiots are beating on who can make Natsu walk, first?" It was move of a statement then a question.

But, being a child, Sting, replied with a "Yes!", while Gajeel just 'Humphed!'

"You guys are idiots," Eric, deadpan. "It's completely, hopeless. Natsu's already one years old, and yet, he doesn't even know how to walk." He explained, plainly.

"Anyway, I don't think we should force Natsu to walk. Look at what happened today; he'd started crying." Rogue, tried to reason. But, failed.

"But... But I wanna see Nat-Chan walk~!!!" Sting, suddenly, shouted. It startled the group and made Natsu drop his toy dragon. Again.

Everyone saw this, and before Natsu could start crying, once more, Eric; who was besides Laxus, had quickly, picked the toy up, and gave it back to the pink haired baby.

They'd all sighted in relief, when they didn't see any tears on Natsu's eyes, but joy at having his toy, back, again.

This time, Natsu, clutched onto the plushy, tightly; as if afraid, that he'll drop it, again.

Immediately, they all, simultaneously, glared daggers at the small blond.

The mentioned blond boy, however, looked sheepishly and quietly, said, "I'm sorry." A annoyed, sigh, left Laxus; getting all of their attention.

"How about we ALL just teach Natsu how to talk? TOGETHER! It'll be fair, for everyone." He declared.

He didn't wait for anyone to agree, and they knew that. With a sadden sigh, they'd all obeyed.

As soon as he was finished talking, Laxus, gently, placed Natsu onto the floor.

Mentioned boy, meanwhile, looked up at the boy's in confusion and curiosity. They were all gathered around him, in a loose circle.

However, just before they could, even TRY, to teach Natsu how to walk. They'd all watched in disbelief, shock, surprise, and fascination at the following action's.

A sudden, loud, shout of, "Dinner's ready!" from their babysitter; had the little pinkette, try to walk himself.
He, shakily, pulled himself, upward, from his spot on the floor.

Next, with his right foot, he slowly; very, slowly, walked forward. He stumbled, but he managed to upright himself.

Then, with his left foot, he managed to walk forward. He then clapped in joy. Seeing as how he'd managed to walk, Natsu, suddenly and slowly, turned around.

Repeating the same actions, as from before; he walked, forward. He stumbled, until, he'd suddenly fell.

Multiple sharp, gasp's, escaped the older boy's and before they could even try to doing anything, to help, Natsu had repeated his first actions. He, shakily and slowly, uprighted himself. Until, he was walking, again.

Not a few moments had past, before he was suddenly and unexpectedly, running across the living room and into the kitchen; giggling the whole way.

The five boy's stared in bafflement and in bewilderment at the scene. Did... Did their baby brother, JUST, walked... B-BY H-HIMSELF!?!?

A surprise shout and then a squeal, was heard in the kitchen,"Oh, My! Aw~! Natsu, you're walking!", had confirmed their startling, theory, and their sudden, realization.

"Na wan fofo!" Natsu wants food. They let that information sink in, and with a start; they realized what the true meaning, was behind it.

"NATSU!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

"Fo!Fo!... Yum~!"

"Aww~! Thanks~!"

~Fin.
