****************************************************************

   (Natsu POV)

    After Lucy's monumental moment of having a 20 minute conversation we made our way home for supper. "Welcome home young-ins. Natsu your nose must be improving, you knew supper would be ready just as you arrived didn't you?" Grandine said taking the pot off of the element. I shrugged, "You know me so well Mom." "What smells so good?" Lucy asked timidly from behind me.

   Mom smiled. "Tater tot casserole, I learnt it from a nurse at the hospital who was transferred here from Canada." Lucy walked up to the pot  and took a long sniff. "...Mmmmm, let's see if it's as good as it smells." Lucy then went to the cabinet and grabbed  4 plates and placed them on the table, then walked back to the cabinet and grabbed 4 glass cups.

   "Food's ready!" I shouted to get Wendy and Pops down to the dining table. Once everyone was here we said grace and then ate and let me tell you something, this Canadian casserole thing is the best thing I've ever tasted. Good thing Mom made 3 pots because Pops and I really love it.

   (Lucy POV)

   This food was really good, but I didn't have a big appetite. So I excused myself myself to get ready for bed. As I walked down the hallway to my bedroom when I heard a voice, "Go to the attic." What the heck? I shrugged it off and went to my room, as I'm about to put on my pajamas I hear the voice again. "Wear your Mother's favourite sundress and go to the attic." 

   I groaned. "If I do this will you leave me alone?" I said to the voice. "For now, but I will be back." It responded. I sighed, got my sundress and put it on. it was a white sundress with a pale pink ribbon around my waist and for the heck of I put my hair in a messy side braid with a rose. I went to the attic stairs and pulled the string, making the stairs appear from the ceiling.

   I climbed the stairs and I was expecting an old, dusty, cobweb filled room but was the exact opposite. It looked well cared for, dusted and everything and in the middle was a beautiful grande piano. "Go ahead, play something." The voice said. "Thought you said you'd leave me alone if I came up here in this dress." I said. "I said maybe." 

   As much as I wanted to go to sleep, this piano is too tempting so I walked up to it and sat  on the bench. My fingers glided across the keys as I decided to play. After some thinking I decided to play 'The River Flows Through Me', my favourite. My eyes closed as I played, remembering why this song was my favourite. Mama used to play this to me whenever I had trouble falling asleep and I'd always fall asleep leaning on her shoulder, I'd always have the best sleep those nights.

   As I was getting close to the end of the song I felt a presence behind me, but I didn't stop, I kept playing the song until I finished. Dropping my arms I let out a quiet sigh. "I know you're there." I called out. I still can't believe how good you are." The person said walking towards me.

   "My Mama use to play this to me when I couldn't sleep." I said facing the person. "It's beautiful. C'mon Luce, let's go to sleep."I grabbed his hand and we both left the attic and went to my room. We changed and got in bed, I still had the song stuck in my head which made me fall asleep almost instantly, with tears slowly falling.

   If only Mama were still here, then I wouldn't be in this situation. But I know that she's somewhere high above me, with the stars and planets.

   (Natsu POV)

   When I finished eating supper I was on my way to check on Luce when I see the attic door open, how strange. the mystery was then solved when I heard the sound of a piano. Seems like Lucy found Mom's secret room. None of us are really allowed up there for who knows what reasons, except for her but she's only up there to clean the room; never to play the piano.

   I climbed the ladder and saw an angel. A beautiful blonde angel in a beautiful white sundress with a beautiful rose in a beautiful braid. To sum up the image, she's beautiful. I couldn't help but smile at the angel playing the piano but then the song ended and she let out a little sigh. "I know you're there." The angel spoke. "I still can't believe how good you are." I said approaching her.

   "Mama used to play this to me when I couldn't sleep." She turned to face me. "It's beautiful. C'mon  Luce, let's go to sleep." I said holding out my hand which Lucy gladly took. We headed down to our rooms, changed and met in Lucy's room. Together we laid down and the sleepy blonde fell asleep with her face in my chest which was getting wet by her tears. I didn't want to wake her up so I just stroked her head to calm her down and it worked. The tears stopped and she cuddled closer to me, no wonder too, she's as cold as ice. I'll always be here to warm up my cold angel.
