Lesson Number 3: How To Carry A Lady

.

Little Lucy had been living with the Dragneel family for 1 weeks, 3 days, 8 hours and 46 minutes. Throughout her stay with the Dragneel's Lucy has noticed something. She didn't know exactly where she lived. Sure she knew that her family lived in a forest and that far away from the forest was a human town and that there was a lake near her sleeping grounds, but that was all she knew.

Taking a deep breath, Lucy decided to stop for a minute and look around her surroundings. Where Lucy, Natsu, and Igneel lived specifically was on a grassy plain in the forest. It had to be an acre long, maybe one and a half of just luscious green grass. Trees surrounded their grass plain and from a certain view from up in the sky, as Lucy remembered the last time Igneel flew her around, their plains was in shape of a crooked rectangle.

During the night Igneel rested in the middle of the plains with his children near him and during the day, they would run around at least half of the acre to play. Lucy noticed the dried up and dead grass in shape of her Father's figure, telling her that Igneel always rested there. There were rocks sticking up from the ground and random tree trucks some places also leading Lucy to believe that Papa must have cut the forest down to make this little clearing here.

This place seemed peaceful and the perfect place to live, right under the warm sun and the sparkling night sky, but Lucy wondered. When it was raining, where did they sleep? Just out in the rain? Or did they seek the forest for shelter? Or maybe Igneel stretched out his wings to shield Natsu from the rain while he gets wet. Lucy wondered and pondered at this for a while before asking.

"Papa? Where do we sleep when it rains?" Lucy asked.

Igneel looked up, he was currently playing ball with his son only using his tail. He enjoyed watching how Natsu would get frustrated and tell him to stop being lazy and play seriously. When Lucy had asked him this he set the ball down, putting their game on pause.

"When it rains, there is this cave a few minutes, by flight, over there in the north. Natsu and I usually take shelter in there." Igneel answered.

"Oh, then how come we don't just live there? Wouldn't it be easier?" Lucy asked.

"No! That cave is dark and smelly and has bats! Plus it's all closed off and scrunched up, I hate that cave!" Natsu complained.

"We did live there in the beginning little one, but it turns out Natsu has a problem with small places. He, as he so put it, rather able to run around and be free and wild then locked up in a dark cave with only one exit and walls at almost his every turn."

"Oh, I understand now. I don't think I'd like to live in a cave either." Lucy mumbled stroking her hands through the grass blades.

This home they had, it was perfect. Lucy's never felt such freedom before in her whole entire life as she did when living here. She picked herself up and dusted off her dress before taking off her shoes. She placed them neatly beside each other before she started stretching. The two Dragneel's watched the little one with curiosity in their eyes as they watched her bend and twist, stretching out her bones. Once Lucy was done she took a deep breath then took off, running down the plains all the way towards the other side.
