Here is todays useless fact.

Bet you didn't know that 5% of Canadians don't know the first 7 words of the Canadian anthem, but know the first 9 of the American anthem.

I can vouch for that because I have some family who lives in Canada and all they know is, 'oh Canada'.

Dragon's Cave

.

It came randomly one morning, well maybe not randomly. It was a little cold the night before with a slight fog around them, if any of them were awake to notice they could have knew what would come next. Lucy was lying peacefully next to Natsu and under her Father's protective claw when she felt a small dampness on her nose. She moaned and wiggled her nose before feeling it again, this time on her forehead.

It was ice cold when it touched her skin and made Lucy wake up. She blinked her eyes open and felt two more drops, one on her forehead again while the other was on her cheek. Lucy woke up then and leaned up, feeling more drops on her.

"What?" She yawned.

It started sprinkling lightly, more water drops hitting her back to back, over and over again. Lucy was dreaming she was swimming in a lake or ocean or at least taking a bath. How else could she explain this dampness she felt? All of a sudden Little Lucy was awoken from her short dream as she started shivering. Her eyes widened as she looked up, the sky was covered in gray clouds and it was raining. Raining!

"Natsu! Natsu, wake up!" Lucy screamed shaking Natsu.

Natsu's eyes opened wide as he felt them get shake back and forth in his head. He looked at Lucy then flinched, feeling something fall on him. He looked up at the sky also and realized it was raining. Forgetting to yell at Lucy for shaking him like a mad man, Natsu decided to yell at Igneel instead.

"Damn it, Father! Father! No time to be sleeping!" Natsu yelled getting up.

Lucy didn't like getting wet so she ran for cover underneath a tree. Remembering about her bag that held her medical and school supplies, she ran over to where she hid them and made sure they were still dry.

"What have I told you Natsu? Wake me up when it's sunny." Igneel mumbled.

"Father it's raining, come on. We need to go." Natsu told him.

Igneel stuck his tongue out and sure enough, small water drops fell on it. He licked his mouth before getting up, yawning up into the heavens.

"I'm up, I'm up. Where's Lucy?" He asked looking around.

"I'm here Father."

Igneel turned to the voice and saw Lucy huddled up underneath a tree, clutching a backpack to her chest. He smiled and grabbed Natsu with his claw, walking over he held his other claw out for Lucy.

"Come now child, let's go to shelter." Igneel said.

Lucy scurried her way into her Father's claw trying her best to keep her backpack dry. Once Igneel closed his claw though she didn't need to try any longer. Igneel stretched out his wings wide and in a matter of seconds he was up in the air. Lucy looked out from the corner of Igneel's claw to see where they were flying. Over dozens of trees it seemed and it stayed that way until suddenly, Lucy saw a mountain near them. She always saw those mountains from the plains she lived at, they always looked far off and misty in the distance though. Now Lucy saw how truly big they were and was close enough to see that it wasn't misty, it was just a little snowy at the top.
