Natsu

Like normal, I am the last person to wake up. I go downstairs to see Lucy running about getting Nashi and Iggy ready to go to Levy and Gajeels home where they'll be staying while we're away on the mission. Iggy has two bags. One is a diaper bag filled to the brim with diapers, two bags of wipes, bottles, two canisters of formula, and some pacifiers. The second bag must have clothes and bibs. Good thing Gajeel is going with us or having four kids and a baby in his tiny house would drive him up a wall.

    "Morning Luce, Morning Nashi, Morning Iggy, Morning Happy." I say as I pick up Iggy.

Lucy turns to me and waves, the edge of her tattoo peaking out from above the collar of her blue, white, gold, and black outfit, an outfit she hasn't worn in years.  I smile remembering the day we went to get tattoos together. Looking at my beautiful wife, I smile even more. She goes around the house cleaning as she gets Nashi ready, her hair falling out of her usual ponytail.

    "I see Iggy is ready, but what seems to be the deal with Nashi? She's five, she shouldn't be so hard to get ready."

Happy gives me a scared look as she whirls around and throws a handful of clothes at me.

    "You try getting her to put this on! She doesn't want to wear it, she wants to wear something like I have on, but I told her that she doesn't have any clothes that are like mine. "

I nod and turn to Nashi.

    "Here sweetheart, I think I have something for you."

I turn and head back upstairs and go in mine and Lucy's closet. I come back with 5t black trimmed in gold tank top and a 5t white skirt with a blue sash that ties around the waist. This outfit also comes with black trimmed in gold detachable sleeves like Lucy's blue and white heart outfit, the one trimmed in gold with a black skirt. I also grab a pair of brown size five childrens boots. I carry the outfit and boots back downstairs and bring it to Nashi.

    "Will this do?"

Nashi takes it from me and smiles.

    "Yes Papa it will! Where did you get it?"

    "Well Luce keeps telling me how she wants to have Redus paint a family picture, so I got you an outfit that matches both mine and your mother's normal attires. I wear a black one sleeve button down vest trimmed in gold, your mother's has a white skirt with a blue sash, and one of her older outfits have detachable sleeves trimmed in gold, but whereas hers are blue trimmed in gold, yours is black trimmed in gold. Also like your mother, I got you brown boots. So not only is your outfit like your mothers it's also like mine."

Lucy walks up and begins to help Nashi get dressed and while looks up at me.

    "Where did you hide that outfit?"

    "In the back of the closet on my side of the closet. I know my side of the closet consist of multiples of two different outfits, and because you know what both outfits look like I know you won't go through my clothes so I thought hiding it there would work, and I was right."

I give her a big smile as she finishes getting Nashi dressed. She has a small smile of her own. Once she finishes getting Nashi dressed, she faces me, hands on her hips.

    "Do I have to start looking there for hidden objects, surprises, and gifts?"

    "No, I only did that for pictures one day. Now do you have her clothes packed?"

    "Yes I do, I even packed her some training clothes, a bathing suit for the Guilds indoor pool, and I packed some of her many toys she got for her birthday." She says as she reaches up to tighten her ponytail.

    "Besides I'll tell you where he puts all the good stuff Lucy!" Happy says, causing me to frown at the exceed as Lucy smiles

She calls out Horologium and asking him the time. After finding out it's now 9:00 AM she begins to get breakfast ready and I go upstairs to get dressed coming down in my normal long button down black vest with one long sleeve trimmed in gold, gold sash for my waist , white pants, and black sandals. I go back downstairs and into the kitchen, my mouth drooling with the sight before me. Lucy had made strawberry waffles, eggs, and bacon. She also had Nashi's celestial energy box out and she placed a flame retardant mat down so she could put a metal bowl that has fire in it. The fire is burning wood that was placed in the bowl and will soon make the metal bowl to hot for Lucy to handle if I don't eat the flames soon. She also has raw fish for Happy.

    "This looks good Luce!"

    "Well we only have a few hours til we leave so dig in." She says as she picks Iggy up and begins to feed him a bottle she had made for him.

Me and Nashi grab our elements, a waffle, three pieces of bacon, two eggs each, and sit down at the table to eat while Happy grabs up the fishes mumblings about "yummy fishies"

*Time Skip To At The Train Station*

                             Lucy

We had just dropped Nashi and Iggy off with Levy and had already arrived at the train station in time to see Wendy gathering all the Dragon Slayers.

    "It's going to be a long ride to the next spot on Lucy's map, so I'll have to perform Troia before we get on the train or I won't be able to because I myself will be motion sick. If I wasn't worried about them running out of magic energy, I'd suggest grabbing your respected exceed and flying instead of riding the train, but even Pantherlily would run out of magic energy before we reach the next train station. Besides it's not fair to Laxus who doesn't have an exceed. So come here so I can perform Troia before we leave."

Her small frame is then overshadowed by three Dragon Slayers all twice her her size. In Lazus's case three times her size. In a flash of bright blue light she cast the Troia spell and just in time too because the train whistle blows and my team boards the train, me following behind them. I had come down to the station earlier before Nashi, Iggy, Natsu, and Happy woke so I could rent a train car for my team. It cost me the same as the rent of my old apartment, but it was worth it. Everyone takes their seats, but I remain standing as the train begins to move. I take the map out from my bag that I brought with me and go over it before addressing my team.

    "Alright our next stop is in Crocus, where we will have to go on foot to where time was stopped by Ultear. Gray, that's where you come in, only you know where she was when she cast the ultimate time reversal spell causing us to go back in time and gain lives we would have lost if it wasn't for her sacrifice. It was only a few minutes but it gave us back many comrades we would have lost. After that we have to take a train to Hardgeon to board a ship to go to the Kingdom of Stella, then again we go on foot to the place where a dragon king disguised as a girl had fallen. Natsu, that would be your job to lead is there because you defeated King Animus. Then we'll take a boat back to Hardgeon, and then another train back to Crocus so we can go on foot to our last destination, the place where all of the Zodiacs can be seen standing in a circle. I myself will lead us there because I know the location, the location being in Astral Spiritus."

I look at the map and see some instructions at the bottom.

    "There seems to be instructions at the bottom, Mira get me a lacrima so I can put it on lacrima view. "

Mira does what I ask of her and I put it on lacrima view.

Instructions:

The first location holds the two fighting Draco spirits keys, but they are contained in a locked container. Keep the container safe and away from fire and ice when they clash. It can be near fire and ice being used at the same time, but get it near fire and ice going against each other and it would cause a dangerous reaction. The second location holds the key to the container and the key to stopping the war. You'll use the key to stopping the war by binding it to both warring Draco spirits, but you can only bind them once you get my key. My key and  the way to bind the key for stopping the war is at the third location. Note: you can't go out of order by going to another location besides the first, to do so would be dangerous. If you come straight to get my key and then go back then the container will know my gate was opened and will self destruct, using a spell that will permanently destroy the other gate keys along with it. If you go to the second location first, the key to unlocking the container will shatter if it doesn't sense the container near it. Make any of these mistakes and the war amongst the other Draco spirits will not be stopped and I will lose two brethren.

After reading the instructions on the bottom of the map, I look at Natsu and Gray.

    "Okay you two, no fighting. You can use your magics at the same time, but the moment you two fight each other, or if Gray fights another fire wizard and Natsu fights another ice wizard, it could spell destruction. I know we haven't reached location one, but let's get in the practice of not fighting for the missions sake."

They nod, and I sit down beside Natsu cuddling up to him to wait out the rest of the train ride.
