Dragon's Bath

.

Little Lucy watched in pure amazement as her family seemed to dance in the flames. She sat on a boulder with her head leaning down on her hands and watched as the flames circled around the fire dragon and his fire son. Lucy was always taught not to play with fire or else she would get burned, but after looking at the two of them she thought differently. Playing with fire, they were literally playing with fire and flames and they weren't getting burned. The strangely amazing thing about it though was that the flames were actually playing back with them.

Lucy was so enchanted with their little dance she didn't notice herself leaning closer towards them until she tumbled over. She let out a rather loud 'eeeep' as she fell face first off the boulder and landed on her chin, her butt high in the air. Natsu, upon hearing this eep, stopped his training and turned his attention to the girl while Igneel, seeing Natsu look away, stopped teaching his son. He looked over to where his son was gazing at and saw his daughter's face in the grass.

"Daughter? You alright?" Igneel called out.

Lucy wiggled her butt in the air a little before lifting herself up by her arms. She spat out grass from her mouth and looked up at her family, giving them a small smile and a nod.

"Yeah," she told them lightly.

Natsu took a step towards her, just one, then paused. After a second of hesitation he took another, then started running towards her. Humans, no, girls were so troublesome and weak he thought when he reached her. Natsu bent down on his knees and started picking the grass from her hair. It was strange, but he found himself caring for this girl more and more each passing day. No, it wasn't strange. They were family, of course he would care for her like family would, especially given how weak she was.

"Be more careful." He warned her.

"Sorry Natsu, I will." Lucy said, slightly embarrassed since the only reason she fell was because she was watching him.

Natsu watched as Lucy rubbed her cheek to try to get the dirt off, but only made it worst. Natsu started rubbing Lucy's cheeks with his hand to try and help, it didn't make much of a difference though. She was just too dirty after a fall like that.

"Father! When is bath day?!" Natsu asked standing up.

Igneel's stared down at his claws and started counting the days... he forgot the last bath day they had though and seeing how his son asked in a tone that suggested that it was today, Igneel forgot about it and just answered.

"Today."

Normally, Natsu hated bath days. It wasn't because he hating bathing, Natsu didn't mind that part. He hated bath days though because his Father would always completely destroy him in splash fights and he barely even tried! Just one stomp there, one whip of the tail, one swing of the claw and Natsu would go flying out of the lake and into a tree. And the splashes he was able to get on his father barely did a thing! Igneel would just bat an eye and act like he hadn't felt a thing!

This time would be different, this time Natsu had Lucy and with the two of them together! With her smarts and his strengths, they would be the ones to completely destroy Igneel! Or at least, that's how he liked to think of things.
