Issues [Fairy Tail fanfic]

Chapter 32

"This is where she lives now?" Natsu asked.

Wendy's new home wasn't very far away from Lucy's. It did take quite some walking but not so far that they'd have to take a bus. Lucy looked at the home's address and nodded.

"Yup, right address plus the mailbox says Marvell" Lucy said.

Natsu took another look over the house. House might have not been the right word, it looked a little smaller than a normal house; cottage would be a better word to call it. It sure did look like an old ladies house Natsu thought but wait... forget his last thought, this 'cottage house' sure looked like a wicked old ladies house. Natsu nodded to himself, much better.

Trees completely surrounded the Marvell's home, leading Natsu to believe that they didn't have a backyard. There was wild flowered and bushes grown all over the yard, he guessed Wendy would have liked that. It kind of looked like a wild garden... you just really had to imagine it. The concrete walkway to the house was all crumbled up, weeds and tree roots sticking out from the concrete.

"I know it's ruff but she's an old lady living on her own" Lucy said as she stepped over the roots and towards the door.

"Ruff? This looks more than just ruff Lucy, it looks abandoned... hey why are you wearing a scarf?" Natsu asked following her.

He had just now noticed it. Today was sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and no winds were blowing their way. Lucy reached up and tugged her reddish scarf tighter around her neck.

"Because someone thought it would be funny to leave so many hickey's that I'd look like a leopard" Lucy mumbled.

Natsu grinned from ear to ear as he continued to follow her through the rocky path.

"Good now more people will know your mine" was his reply.

She ignored his comment and stood at the porch.

"Best behavior" Lucy said knocking on the door.

Natsu's grin fell in an instant. He was a little scared to see what kind of woman lived here. He gulped. When the door finally opened Natsu was happy to see it was Wendy holding it open instead of the wicked witch.

"LUCY NEE-SAN! OH AND NATSU NII-SAN" Wendy screeched as she flung door wide open.

She tackled Lucy in a hug first then Natsu. He grinned as he lifted her up in the air.

"Wendy! I haven't seen you for so long, have you gotten taller?" Natsu asked.

Wendy giggled. Lucy walked into the house and let the two children play on their own.

"Porlyusica?" Lucy called out walking into the living room.

"Kitchen" she replied.

Lucy walked further into the home, into the kitchen.

"Good morning" Lucy said.

"Same" Porlyusica said.

"... your making a pie?" Lucy asked, questionably looking at Porlyusica.

"I already made the pie, I'm just letting it cool off" Porlyusica said as she dried off her dishes.

"She used the crying move on you huh? I can never say no to that" Lucy said walking through the kitchen.

Porlyusica's kitchen was about the same size as a normal person's bathroom, maybe a little bit bigger due to the stove and oven. Cabinet's hanged all across her kitchen walls, each one filled to the brink with various ingredients. There was a counter in the middle of the kitchen, but it was more like a half counter to prep your food on and a half table to eat on if you wanted to sit and eat in the kitchen. Lucy had pulled out one of four stools that were neatly lined one after and another and sat down.
