Here is today's useless fact.

Bet you didn't know that the Pokémon Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are based on Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

Dragon's Egg

"Father... I think I'm in love Lucy."

Igneel coughed out fire, tons of it. He wasn't even eating or drinking and yet he felt himself choking, hard. Natsu sat patiently, waiting for his Father's coughing spell to come to an end. When it finally did Igneel lifted his head to the heavens and inhaled a deep breath. He looked around to find his daughter, seeing her away from their clearing kneeling over a bunch of flowers.

"Did you hear me Father?" Natsu asked when he noticed his attention wasn't on him.

"Yes, don't say that again though if you don't want me to have a heart attack."

Natsu tilted his head, "heart attack?"

"Never mind that boy, how did you ever come to that conclusion?!"

He shrugged, "I don't know."

Igneel's patience wore thin with this one. He glared down at his son and poked his stomach.

"If you don't know, then how do you know you're in love with her, or did you mean to just say love instead? If that's the case then don't give me heart attacks like that." Igneel sighed.

"No, I meant in love."

Igneel started coughing out fire again and Natsu found it funny this time.

"You're trying to kill me son."

"No I'm not, I just thought you should know since you're our father and junk."

"Do you have any idea what that even means son?"

"Nope, not one clue."

"And yet you're in love with her?"

"Yup, completely."

Igneel wanted to drown his son. Natsu grinning brightly at him and stood up, dusting his pants off.

"Good talk Father, let's train now."

"Oh no, no, no. You sit, I'm going to be your teacher today and teach you what it means for a girl and a boy to love each other."

Natsu sat, curious on what his Father had to teach him, and sat through the lesson. Near the end Igneel thought his son would see reason, he saw anything but reason though.

"Yup, that pretty much described what I feel towards Lucy. I guess I have to marry her now, where is she?"

"No!" Igneel growled trapping his son under his claws.

"But you said-"

"You're only 8!"

"Oh, so there's an age limit or something? But what if someone steals Lucy from me? She's my teacher! My friend! My lover! I don't want her to belong to someone else!"

"So you're only in love with Lucy because you want her to stay yours?"

"No, she's funny too. She doesn't hate me a lot, she likes dragons, she's actually really strong too and entertaining. Isn't this why you brought her to me Father?"

"To be your friend Natsu, your friend, not your lover."

"So you never thought Lucy and I would end up together?"
