The Dragneel Children

{~} Arrival {~}

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Nashi asked nervously, still worried that her older brother was still upset. Igneel rolled his eyes and thew himself on the dark red seats of the train, his siblings following. 

"Not to worry! I brought tons of food." Luke declared and patted his bag. Instead of packing 'useless clothing' the boy packed his favorite snacks and juices for the ride. "Your an idiot, you know that?" Igneel asked and Luke glared.

Well than I guess you won't be getting moms left over lasagna." He stated smugly. "You brought lasagna in a school bag?" His twin asked, not believing her brothers stupidity. "Yes." He said proudly and zipped oppened the metal teeth of his bag. 

The boy expected to peer inside and see it stuffed full of leftovers and chips but instead found a bunch of crumbs and wrappers. "What?" He said in disbelief.

His onyx eyes than focused on a sleeping Luna, her face full of crumbs.

"Magnolia! Last stop Magnolia!"

Igneel jumped and nearly ran to get his siblings. He had stayed up the entire trip trying not to let his nausea take the best of him, Natsu had told him when reached a certain age he will have bad motion sickness due to his magic and sadly he had reached it. Now all he wanted was to get back to sweet, still ground.

"Nash! Luke! Come on." Luke had fell asleep with his face against the train window, his twin sister had her head on his shoulder sleeping as well and Luna curled in Luke's lap snoring slightly. The blonde squatted in front of the seven year old boy and flicked his fore head, yelling in his ear "Free food!"

Luke instantly stood up, making Nashi fall to the ground and Luna fly into Igneels arms from the sudden impact. "Do they have moms tabasco sauce?" Nashi rolled her eyes and glared at him. "He was trying to wake you up idiot!" Luke was about to insult her back when a booming voice interrupted him.

"Last call for Magnolia! Next stop Clover Town! All aboard!" 

Igneel placed Luna over his shoulder and threw Luke over the other, grabbing Nashi's hand they ran and jumped off the train as it was about to take off from the station. The Dragneels ended up in a pile in the middle of the platform, Luke was being crushed by Igneel who was suffocating as Nashi crushed his chest with Luna giggling as she sat safely on Nashi's head. "I-I'm dieing" Luke choked out "Get off of m-me." Igneels eyes were popping in his head, "I'm trying, Nashi is so heavy." He said sounding like he was straining.

Nashi grumbled and gently took Luna off her head, getting off her brothers. As soon as both boys stood up, Nashi put Luna down and jumped up to hit Igneel on the head. "That's for calling me heavy." Luke laughed at what he saw, but the pink haired girl quickly turned around and hit him as well. "Ow! What was that for!" He shouted. "For making me fall!"

Luke was about to respond untill Igneel shushed the blonde. "Wheres Luna?" Luna was always a quiet and cooperative child, she rarely misbehaved but the Dragneels looked down to see the baby had left there side. Instantly Igneel filled with panic, he was always very protective of Luke and Nashi when they were little, but now that he was older especially since there parents weren't around, he felt responsible for them. 

Magnolia train station was  empty at this time as it was close to midnight. It was a large platform that had a black shingles roof over top and a red brick wall at the back, which had windows for the ticket sellers. The children carefully inspected the station before dashing around the wall to the stone steps that lead to the rest of Magnolia.

Igneel frantically turned his head as he hopped to find a pink haired baby crawling around. Nashi shook his shoulder and pointed to the second to last step, sitting upright and clutching the dragon close to her heart was none other than Luna. 

Luke slowly walked and sat on the steps next to his little sister, Nashi and Igneel soon followed. They all sat on the steps, Luke and Igneel with Luna sandwhiched between and Nashi in front of the three.  Igneel soon realized what Luna had been looking at, the full moon rose high above the intricate buildings. Unlike Shizuka Village, Magnolia was far from boring, the way the large fountain glossed in the moonlight, rippling as water squirted calmly from the middle of a stone magnolia that sat neatly in the middle had made a calm aura to such a new place. Flower boxes were beside every door and under every window on the buildings the children could see from there seats. It smelled heavenly.

'Why would mom and dad ever want to leave this place?' Igneel thought. His eyebrows furrowed. 'Thats right, because they had to.' He looked at Luke, his eyes were curious as he looked over the scenery. He than moved to Nashi, her hair shined in the light and her smile couldn't have been bigger. And finally Luna, her onyx eyes were glossy, the little green specks dazzled in the light making it seem as though emeralds danced in the orbs. Just from one look he could tell they were in love with this place, quite frankly he was too. 

He smiled and turned his head back to the fountain. He was going to do everything he could to make this there home, make his mother happy by bringing his father back to stay, and finally for himself, so he could spend that time that he lost. As soon as he hit one years old Natsu left to support his family by getting work, it hurt Igneel so much that he would rarely get to see his father, he wanted to spare his siblings the pain as soon as possible. 

With that in mind he picked Luna up, rapping her arms and legs around him as she laid her head on his chest, falling asleep. He grabbed Nashi's hand and Luke walked in front of him with his hands folded behind his head. The Dragneels walked away from the train station hoping to find shelter for the night.
