Chapter 17: Lira's Request

October 2: Lira is 3

Lucy P.O.V

Ever since Lira turned 3 It's been hell.

It wasn't as much as when she was 2, but it's just as bad.

Lira recently started talking a lot. Talking non-stop and making problems non-stop.

I was in the kitchen making lunch when I heard a noise. I ran out the kitchen and saw Lira on the floor with pieces of a broken vase around her.

"Lira! What did you do?" I quickly grabbed her and placed her on the couch while I went to pick up the pieces. Right when I finished, she went missing.

"Lira?" I called. I ran over to the kitchen and I didn't see her. "Lira!" I yelled while running around the house. Then I heard the sound of moving chairs.

The only chairs in the house are the ones in the diner. Uhg...how is she so quick?!

I ran over to the diner to the see one of the chairs missing. I then ran over to the kitchen to see if she was there. "Lira!" I yelled while running to the kitchen. Then I saw her on top of the counter, trying to reach the cookie jar.

"Lira!" I quickly ran over to get her. I placed her down and knelled down in front of her. "Lira...you can't do that. You have to wait till you eat to have dessert. If you don't you might get a tummy ache."

"I want cookie." She said while pouting. I placed my hand on her hair and smoothed it back. "I'm sorry baby but...you can't have a cookie."

"I WANT COOKIE!" she yelled while trying to figure out which way to cross her arms. "Lira you-"

"COOKIE NOW!"

"No!"

"Cookie!"

"NO!" She then ran to the chair and knocked it down.

"COOKIE!"

She's acting like a demented child!

I calmly walked up to her and slapped her hand. "Don't do that."

"Cookie..."

"No."

She then pushed the chair again. "Cookie."

"Lira stop. You're not getting a cookie."

She then began to stomp and yell,"I WANT A COOKIE!!!"

"Lira stop!"

Only if she was older. I would slap the-- calm yourself Lucy.

I grabbed her shoulders and tried to make her stop jumping. "Lira, listen to me. No cookie. Stop being bad."

Her eyes started to tear,"But-but-but I want cookie!"

Then the door began to open. I looked over to the door and saw Natsu. "DADDY!!" Thank the lord. Who knows what I would've done...

"Hi my little burst of flames." He picked her up and threw her in the air. Then he caught her and he squeezed her tightly.

I walked over to them and sighed, "Hi, Natsu..."

"Whoa, someone's not happy to see me."

"Oh no, it's not that, it's just...Lira's been keeping me on my toes..."

"What did she do this time?"

"Cookies..."

"Cookies? Hah. Just like me. I love me some cookies."

"Well so does she. She loves them enough to throw chairs..."

"Chairs?"

I nodded my head and he began to laugh. "She's gonna be a fire mage," he said happily.
