Repeat the Past (a NaLu, Sticy and RoLu fanfic)

3.

Rouge POV

"Sting!" I yelled as I burst through the door, Frosch nodding at my side.
"Yeah?" He said, wincing for whatever followed.
"Where's the child?" I asked, surprisingly calm.
"O-over there..." He whimpered and pointed to a 4 year old in a little pink sundress, sitting quietly on the couch.
I nodded and walked closer, looking at her.
"Hey, Lucy, is it? I'm Rouge. I'm sure you've met the disaster over there, Sting." I introduced, motioning to Sting.
She nodded and gave a toothy smile "Hi Rouge-kun!" She pointed to Sting and whispered "Stingy-bee is scared of you."
I laughed at both the name Sting had been given by the child and the fact that he was scared of me.
"It that so?" I turned to my comrade. "Lucy here says that you, Stingy-bee, are scared of me!"
Sting muttered and frowned "Am not!" He yelled.

Lucy POV

A man called Rouge came in and talked to me. I liked him. He was calm and kind.
"Rouge-kun? I'm hungry!" I said and pouted, tugging on his sleeve.
"Okay, okay." He said "I'll get you something." He stood up and walked into another room.
"Yo Lucy!" called Stingy, walking over to me.
"Yeah?" I said and waited for his reply.
"I am not scared of the emo potato." He said and flopped down next to me, causing me to be pushed up by his weight countering mine.
I giggled and he smiled wide.
He sighed and looked up at the ceiling, running his hands through his hair.

Sting POV

I sighed. "I'm not good with kids." I stated, turning back to Lucy. "You didn't use to be a kid, did ya? Well, you did... But after that. You were my age!" I laughed and rubbed my face.
There was a moment of silence.
"Wait a second.... How are we meant to turn you back into the Blondie that was in the GMGs?"

Rouge POV

I could hear Sting from the other room. How were we going to get Lucy back to normal? Would the spell just wear off? Or would we have to break it? I sighed and walked back to where Lucy and Sting were, a mountain of food in my arms.
"Okay, we don't really have and food for a four year old, so, I've just kinda brought you the entire kitchen. Pick what you want."
Her eyes widened at the sight of all the food and she grinned, almost mimicking Sting when he sees food. "This is heaven." Said Sting, reaching out to grab something from the pile. "Sti-" I began, reaching over to slap his hand away but I was interrupted by a growl, causing Sting to flinch. "Was that Lucy?" We both said in unison, looking over at her in shock. She looked at us, a dark aura surrounding her before quickly smiling, changing mood completely. "Wow." I muttered, my eyes wide.

Sting POV

Lucy hunted through the various items of food until she found something she wanted to eat and then shoved it into her mouth, moving on quickly to the next thing. I gazed at her and smirked, thinking. Wow, actually thinking. That's wierd.
Child-Lucy burped and flopped onto her back, clearly satisfied.
"I'm done, Stingy-bee! Rouge-kun!" She called and Rouge collected the food, putting it back into the kitchen.
Lucy fell asleep almost immediately and Rouge stayed awake for a while, watching over her.
I kinda liked her. She was funny, and way more kind than normal-age-Lucy. I felt something pull at my heart. We'd be taking her back to Fairy Tail tomorrow so they could find a cure or something to get her back to how she should be. I didn't want to give her back, I felt weird.
