Gajeel blink twice as though he couldn't quite understand what he was looking at.

"I don't believe it." he mumbled in amazement.

The guild was currently huddled around a table where Lucy had just place down the cutest looking... whatever it was. The entire guild watch the creature in wonderment but the two people who were most interested with it were Gajeel and Wendy the two remaining dragon slayers of the guild.

"So...do you know what it is?" Lucy asked nervously.

"Are you kiddin' me? Of course I know what it is!" Gajeel barked.

Lucy scowled at him.

"Well then what is it? Care to share?" she spoke annoyed.

"It's a baby dragon" Wendy answered in awe.

"A baby dragon?" the blonde mage asked in surprise.

"Yeah.. it does kind of look like a dragon... except small and cute." Cana's voice cut through the crowd.

Lucy nodded her head in agreement.

"Well yeah that's because it's a friken baby." Gajeel spoke sarcastically.

The small dragon watched the crowd in annoyance.

"I guess none of you can hear me... how am going to get back to normal now?" Natsu spoke dropping his head in sadness.

Gajeel laughed as he reached his hand out to the dragon. As soon as his hand contact with it the poor think jump before biting down on the iron dragon slayers hand.

"Don't friken pet me!" the welpings cried, muffled by the hand in his mouth. Gajeel only chuckled at this, which caused the small dragon to bite down harder. "Doesn't that hurt?" Levy's slightly concerned voice asked "nah, he's just a baby thing couldn't hurt a fly. In fact if I pulled my hand away to quickly it probably hurt him more then me." the dragon slayer smiled.

Natsu released his hold on Gajeels hand and reared himself up "I AM NOT HARMLESS!" he yelled. "Whoa the little guys getting fired up!" Gray teased from the crowd. The iron dragon slayer once again reached out his hand towards the dragon, Natsu of course quickly swatted the hand away his sharp talons doing slightly more damage. Gajeel scoffed "I'm trying to get a look at that scrape you got there." he growled.

Natsu having enough lowered his head, and did the best he could to get into a reasonable fighting position. The iron dragon slayer raised an eyebrow, "what's he doing?" Levy question leaning in to get a better look. "I think this little guy is challenging me to a fight." the dragon slayer said amused which sparked an angry growl from the baby dragon.

The small dragon charged at him and collided his skull with Gajeel's. The dragon slayer didn't even flinch, the dragon however stumble back a bit. He flopped down onto the table and clutched the top of his head with his two front paws "whats's your head made of?" the dragon whimpered.

The guild burst into laughter at the oddly adorable creatures behavior, after awhile things died down again and Lucy took that moment to speak.

"So a baby dragon huh?" she spoke.

"Yup!" Both Gajeel and Wendy replied.

"Well what kind of dragon?" Happy question flying to sit beside the one in question.

"Hm I'm guessing fire." Gajeel spoke watching the creature with now serious eyes.

"Fire? What makes you say that?" Erza question moving to stand beside Lucy.

"It's because of his scale colours dragons appearances match their element, fire dragons range from colors of oranges, reds and yes pinks." Wendy explained watching the dragon wonder around the desk making odd noises every once and awhile at guild mates.

"Huh." Lucy spoke watching the dragon approach her.

"Luuuccy" it wined at her, however all she could her was a little sound that almost resembled the sound of a kitten.

The blonde mage smiled slightly and reached her hand out towards the dragon, unlike with Gajeel he happily excepted the gentle pet along the top of his head.

"So what are we going to do with him." the celestial mage questioned after awhile.

Natsu sent a worry glance up towards her. What would they do with him? No one knew that it was him trapped in this body... what if they tried to ditch him in some random forest or something.

"Hm... normally dragons are extreamly protective of their young... if the little guy had a parent then this town would have been reduced to ashes right now." Gajeel answered watching the dragon with an almost worried look.

"So he doesn't have a family?" Happy asked sadly.

"Maybe his parents disappeared like ours did?" Wendy questioned sadly,remembering her own dragon mother.

Lucy look down at the dragon who was now looking around at her guild mates with a sad expression on his face, she couldn't help but wonder if he could understand them.

"That's so sad." the celestial mage voiced her thoughts.

Gajeel nodded "He'll need a care taker dragons this young can't survive on their own." his words cut through the crowd.

Almost everyone stepped away from the circle, leaving behind just Lucy, Happy, the dragon slayers and the dragon. "Alright then it's settled Bunny Girl will taking care of the baby." Gajeel spoke shoving the dragon slightly towards Lucy, sparking a growl from it.

"What why me?! You're a dragon slayer you take care of it!" Lucy shouted.

"Because one he doesn't like me, two you found him and three it clearly likes you." the elder dragon slayer spoke gesturing to the dragon who was nudging his muzzle at her shoulder for attention.

"What about Wendy?" the blonde cried.

"Sorry Lucy but the girls dorm doesn't allow pets." she spoke sadly.

"Well I don't how to take care of a dragon." she yelled frantically.

"Think of it just like raising a cat or dog, beside salamander will help you when he gets back." Gajeel spoke nonchalantly.

"Yeah come on Lucy! He'll be your own pet dragon how cool is that!" Happy shouted.

Lucy sent an unsure look at the dragon, which sent her an 'idfk know whats happening' kind of look.

"He can come with us on missions and stuff! And oh when he gets really big just think about how cool that would be! No ones going to mess with Lucy Heartfila the tamer of dragons!" the exceed continued flying around the air in excitement.

Lucy locked eyes with the dragon she would now be raising.

"What have I gotten myself into."
