Table Manners

.

The sun was starting to set over the Dragneel's huge clearing in the forest only meaning one thing, it was time for dinner.

"IGNEEL! I'M HUNGRY! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!" Natsu chanted as he jumped up and down.

"ENOUGH! I'm going already, how does fish sound for tonight?" Igneel asked.

"FIIIISH! FISH! FISH! FISH!" Natsu chanted.

All the while Lucy stood there and watched Natsu, staring blankly at him. Before living with the Dragneel's, never in her life had she seen a child act like this. It was kind of... oh what's the wrong? Lucy pondered.

"Well come on then kids, let's go catch our dinner." Igneel said standing up on his hind legs.

"Yes! Food! Fish! Food! Fish! Fo-... Lucy? Aren't you coming?" Natsu paused his chants when he saw his teacher just standing there.

Lucy opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She closed her mouth shut and scrunched her face together, trying real hard to remember the words.

"Is there something wrong daughter?" Igneel asked leaning back down towards her.

Lucy blinked then pointed at Natsu, finally remembering the words.

"You're annoying." She said in a cute, delightful tone.

Igneel fell over in laughs while Natsu turned red from head to toe.

"HUH?! WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" He yelled out in fire.

Lucy flinched away from him and ran over towards Igneel, hiding behind one of his legs. Igneel wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and stood back up.

"She's got you there son, let's go now." Igneel said picking up his daughter first.

"Father! She just called me annoying! Do something!" Natsu squirmed as Igneel picked him up next by the back of his shirt.

"What about dinner then?" Igneel asked.

Natsu thought about it...

"Food first, let's fly!" He cheered.

Igneel chuckled to himself as he stretched out his wings and flew into the sky. It was a short flight, there was a lake not too far away from their den that was the perfect fishing spot. It would only take ten minutes to walk to on foot, five in Natsu's case. Lucy clung onto Igneel's talon with her dear life, afraid of falling to her death, whereas Natsu held his hands high into the air.

"WHOOOO! I'M FLYING!" He laughed.

Spotting the lake near, Igneel started to descend closer to the ground. He flew past in, dropping off his son and daughter on the land near the lake, then started gaining altitude again.

"Papa?! Papa! Where is he going?!" Lucy cried.

She didn't like being in the scary forest alone with only her student to protect her. Not only was he annoying, he was an idiot too. Sure, Lucy was brought here to make him not be an idiot anymore, but they haven't even had one lesson yet! Lucy started to get nervous being all alone in the big forest with only Natsu and shifted her gaze all around her. Meanwhile Natsu hovered over the edge of the lake, dipping his head underwater to see if he could spot his dinner for tonight.
