The Fate Of Fire & Stars

|Arc 2| Chapter Two. *15*

"She's not going!" Declares Lucy. "But Luce She has to get out of here someday. And you know good and well as to what this prophecy holds." Natsu mumbles the last part.

"Let her go Lucy, I think it'll be good for her." Says Gray. "Your going along with this two?" Asks Lucy, looking over at him.

"Well...I think it's a good idea too Lu..." trails off Levy. Lucy sighs.

She does have to get used to the world.

"Fine. You can go." Says Lucy with a pout.

"Well...now that I know Nashi's going I'm coming too." Says Storm. "What? No way Storm! You can't leave your mother here alone!" Says Juvia clutching onto her son.

"But mom...protecting Nash is a priority...and it's not like you don't have dad and Sylvia and Rin," Says Storm pointing to his younger siblings.

"Yes But...it's not the same." Says Juvia with a pout. "I wanna go too mom!" Says Nova.

"Uhm...I don't think it's that good of an idea...what do you think Laxus?" Mira Asks her husband.

"I don't care. She can go. For the prophecy to work they all have to be together anyway right?" He Answers.

"Well yeah...but I can't stand to be away from my kids for so long!" Says Mira, about to cry again.

"Well then let's all go."

"Nice try Natsu, but don't you think everyone has their own lives?" Asks Lucy.

"Well then how about I take all the kids there? Fun with Uncle Natsu?"

"Like I'd trust you with my child Salamander!" Says Gajeel letting out a hearty laugh.

"I, The smarter one, have an idea that could work." Says Lucy and Natsu pouts. "How about us moms stay here and enjoy a little time away from our children that we always have to be around, and our men can go to the Celestial Kingdom with Natsu."

"I thought you were against the idea of Nashi even going though? Your suddenly agreeing?" Asks Erza And Lucy shrugs. "It's just fate. Can't stop it."

"There really creeping me out with all this Fate talk..." trails of Gale and Nashi nods from beside him. "Our parents are always weird when they get together but...their weirder today." Says Nashi and Gale nods in agreement.

"Either way, be happy! You get to finally get out of this castle! Sure you've been outside, in the snow, but I heard that the temperature never changes down there. Warm days and cool nights. Plus they have the prettiest stars." Says Nova in delight.

"She's right, but I still think The Dragon Kingdom is nicer, more fighting and stronger armies, they're just under a crazy ass ruler right now." Says Luke.

"The Dragon Kingdom?" Asks Nashi confused. "Oh, right. That's where Natsu's originally from." Says Reiki, not trying to go into further details so the girl will find out.

"Anyway, when we get to the Celestial Kingdom we can all go somewhere. Remember that time we ran off and found that cave and waterfall?" Asks Storm and all the older kids nod their head in agreement. "We can take our little siblings there. They'll enjoy it. The stars are prettiest there anyway." Storm throws in the last part for Nashi.

"When are we going?" Nashi asks her mother excitedly and Storm laughs at his mate.

"Good question, Natsu, when?" Lucy looks up at her husband.

"In two days."

**********

Nashi found herself packing up for the next two days, and she'd be especially packing the sword and bow and arrows that she got from Storm and her brother.

"How do you feel about leaving?" Lucy Asks her daughter. Tomorrow morning they'd be leaving and she was helping her pack. "I'm happy, I just don't wanna leave you." She answers, playing with the hems of her scarf.

"You'll be fine. I think you'll like it since I love it. Plus it's where I was born, and you." Says Lucy.

"Really?" Asks Nashi surprised and her mother nods. "Then why's we leave...?" She Asks looking down. "Don't get me wrong, I love living with Uncle Gray, Aunt Juvia, Rin And Sylv, And Especially Storm...But why would you leave somewhere that you loved?"

"Fate...Anyway, lets get you packed up. I'm actually excited about being with the girls without you and Luke around."

"Wow that's a nice way of saying you wanted to get rid of us," Nashi rolls her eyes. "Only for a bit. I'll be joining you guys soon anyway. Now, let's finish packing so you can head to sleep. You have a long ride." Lucy Says and Nashi nods.

After about three hours later they finished packing, and Lucy had went straight to bed. Nashi however, couldn't sleep. She wanted to know what the outside world was like and her imagination was getting the best of her to where she couldn't help but write.

"Another romance story huh?" Says a voice and Nashi jumps, tackling the unknown figure to the ground. "Damn Nash...I didn't mean to scare you..." Says the voice before groaning.

"Oh. It's just you Storm." Says Nashi. "Glad you realized that. Can you get off me now? Your kinda heavy."

"And your kinda an ass." Says Nashi standing up and sitting on her bed.

"What are you even doing in my room?" She Asks, Finally realizing that him being here at 3am wasn't normal.

"Me and Luke were up training and we saw that your light was still on. I went to check on you."

"Such a gentlemen when you wanna be." Nashi jokes. "I'm gonna ignore your joke. What are you still doing up?" Storm asks her.

"Finished packing around 1 and I couldn't sleep-" "Because you were thinking about how tomorrow would go?"

"Yeah..." Nashi trails off and sighs. "Well I should-" "Stay. Please?" Nashi Asks And Storm can't help but blush.

What would it look like for a 16 year old boy to be sleeping with a 14 year old girl? I mean she's my mate and all but she doesn't know...

"I can't! Luke knows I went into your room so if I l don't come out he'll think weird things and-"

"Just till I fall asleep?" Nashi asks and Storm sighs. "Troublesome," he mumbles before climbing into the bed next to her.

"Nash," Storm Asks after a few minutes. She doesn't respond so he assumes she's asleep and was about to get up when he saw her sleeping face.

"She looks more precious when she's asleep. Reminds me of her as a baby." Storm laughs at the thought, just as other thoughts come into his head. I mean, he is sixteen and Nashi was pretty hot.

"Uncle Natsu will kill me, Uncle Natsu will kill me, Uncle Natsu will kill me," Storm Says over and over, trying to get those thoughts out of his head.

I guess I won't leave just yet. Storm thinks to himself as he wraps an arm around Nashi before drifting to sleep himself.

With Luke...

"That bastard Storm still hasn't come back to train with me!" He yells. "Calm down Luke, I saw him walk out of her room earlier. I think he went to bed." Says McKenzie, the only girl other than Lucy and Nashi who could calm him down.

"Yeah, yeah. If you say he walked out I'll agree metal face." Says Luke wrapping his arm around his girlfriend. Their parents knew they were mates, but they didn't know they were dating.

"Don't call me metal face or I'll start talking to you like Storm." Says McKenzie rolling her eyes.

"Do you think we'll make it out of this alive?" Asks McKenzie after some silence.

"What do you mean? Fate says we all have happy lives after this fight against my Uncle."

"I know, I know...but...I can't help but be scared. What if-"

"Nothing's gonna happen as long as I'm here with you and everyone else. And also, you one hell of a strong women, same for Rose and Nova, and even Storm. Matter of fact, all of us kids our strong."

"Yeah...your right. I was worried over nothing."
