Running away

Nashi and Luke P2

(10 year time skip)

(Nashi POV) I woke up when the sunlight was hitting my eyes. I groaned and sat up. I looked over at my alarm clock. 9:08 it read. I looked over and got my sorcerer weekly collection. I flicked through the pages.
I saw all of the details of various stuff that goes on with details. It seems like Fairy Tail had been up to some stuff again. The guild had supposedly wrecked a temple that a zodiac had been in. When asked they Natsu had said "It's.. for a old friend."

Or so they said. I heard a knock as my mom walked in. "I'm starting on breakfast get ready so get ready please" she smiled "We're going to visit Crocus and meet up with a old friend!" I asked "who?" She put a finger to her lips "secret!"

I groaned and she walked out. I got up and got dressed I put on a pleated skirt with a red baggy cropped sweater on. I put on a white scarf and slipped on some black converse. I finally put my hair in a ponytail with my bangs sticking out in a red ribbon.

Luckily it was a weekend so I had all day to hang out.I walked over to the bathroom that Luke and I share, I saw him brushing his teeth as I challenged him

"I bet I can get ready faster than you slowpoke!" He looked at me, obviously annoyed and stated "I'm already ready and you haven't even brushed your teeth yet" I was obviously offended and grinned maliciously and ran towards him room.

He already knew what I would do so he chased after me. I was faster than him although, and grabbed one of mom's books and climbed on his dresser. I dangled it's just out of reach and stated "Aw Luke shouldn't you be nicer to your big neesan?

He shouted "shush you're only a few hours older than me!" I put a finger on my eye and stuck my tongue out at him making a "mmmph" noise as my mom walked in. She took one look at us, sighed, and walked away as this is a common occurrence.

I jumped off and ran towards mom while tossing the book to Luke. I followed my mom and saw her sitting down at the table, food ready, Stars lit up in my eyes as I walked over and sat down
I grabbed my fork and was going to start eating when my mom stopped me. "You need to wait for your brother to sit down" I looked at her with sad eyes. Her already knowing me was turned away towards Luke.
Luke sat down. He and I looked at each other and said "Itadakimasu" and dug in. We were having casual conversation when I pointed out "Oh mom it seems like Fairy Tail has been up to stuff again!" I snickered "They wrecked a whole temple! He didn't even a good reason either!"I finished. "He?" Luke asked "Natsu Dragneel obviously!" My mom stood up. "Sorry." She mumbled and walked away. Confused Luke and I looked to each other. We ate in silence after our mom's unsusual outburst.
After eating we washed up and left.

(few minutes later)


Luke and I were in the back. There was a large oak tree and a half built treehouse that kageyama and I built together.

There was green grass and a small garden of wind flowers that mom had planted.
I was hanging from a tree upside down while Luke was leaning against it, reading a book. I was bored out of my mind.
"Can you stop reading that book already?" I groaned "Only if something more interesting happens" he replied. I was racking my brain when I thought of something awesome!

"What about we fight?" I grinned while punching the air. I made some "pwsh" noises as Luke blurted "Absolutely not!" While he had purple lines over his head. My mom then came out of the house.

"Hey" she stated. "I'm going to the store, anyone want to come with?" She asked "Sorry mom I need to finish this book I borrowed from my friend" Luke declined. She looked to me. "I was hoping to work on the treehouse today" I mused.
"Alright then" she chided "Call me if you need anything" She have a little salute and left. I looked to Luke "Why did you lie to mom?" I questioned and he flinched. He looked to me.

"Guess there's no hiding it" he chuckled. "I was hoping out to check out the attic cen mom never lets us" He continued. I looked at him with stars in my eyes as he stepped back.

"N- Nani?" He asked. I pointed out "You've never done something behind mom's back before!" He stepped back "Okay, so?" He asked slightly worried. " So..." I continued "It's perfect Black mail if you don't take me" I smirked.
"What?...... fine see if I care" he shrugged. "I could always blame it on you" he grinned. I gasped dramatically "You would never!" I teased while putting my hand on my head, pretending to faint.
I walked past him and yelled "Last one is the rotten egg!" I was full on sprinting while Luke was walking. I made it to the hallway when Luke walked next to me a few seconds later. He walked into the closet and pulled out a hook-like thing.

He then proceeded to put the hook in the little ring on the ceiling and pulled. The trapdoor opened with a set of stairs, and Luke walked away. "What are you doing?" I asked. "We need light, right?" He pointed out. "Oh!" I said while putting a fist to my hand
He groaned and walked away. He came back a few moments later. He held up a candle as we nodded together. Luke walked up the stairs first, considering he had the light.
We made it up the stairs remembering to shut the trapdoor behind us. I looked around. Everything was covered with a thin layer of dust and was illuminated by our candle light.
I walked over to a random sheet. I pulled it off and there was a cool looking coral pink chair. I looked at it awe. There was a few minor cat scratches on it. Mom never mentioned having a cat?
After around 15 minutes I found a few more things like a pink blanket that looked in fairly good condition. There was a white vanity with a matching white storage thing. One thing really stood out to me though. It was a brownish writer's table.
    There was still papers and a few boxes. There was some empty spaces in it though, probably someone took them out. I opened one of the drawers in the thing and took out a small wooden box.
    I opened it and took a look inside. It looked like a few letters. I was trying to see what it said when Luke gasped. I turned around and saw him with a small lime green storage container. A drawer was open and he was looking at it. He pulled it out.
    I walked over to him. On closer inspection it seemed like a picture of some people. I only had a second to look but I got a glimpse of who they were. I was looking at all of them one by one. There was a Scarlet haired woman who looked scary. I shivered.
    There also was a man with black hair who didn't have a shirt on, a small blue haired girl with pigtails and a white cat. There was a pink haired man with a.... blue cat? I shook my head.
    Probably dyed their hair. I saw my mom. She had her hand out with a insignia on her hand. I was trying to get a closer look when I heard something from downstairs. Luke and I looked at each other. Mom is home.
    I looked to Luke and it seemed like we had the same idea. I grabbed the box and Luke opened the window. I looked out. We were fairly high and the only thing that was high enough to jump on was the tree house.
    I looked at Luke and we nodded. I jumped out onto the roof and I heard my mom walking downstairs. There wasn't enough furniture in the treehouse for me to hide it anywhere so I looked around.
    The only thought was the flower bed so I tossed it over there. I heard the door open. Since the roof was slightly slanted I had a few seconds to think without her spotting me. I crouched down. I saw a window that was meant for sunlight.
    I checked it and it wasn't glued down yet. It was the perfect size for me to jump through. I jumped in when and Luke was already there, pretending to read a book. I looked around.
    I saw some things from yesterday that Kageyama and I hadn't put away yet. I quickly put on a apron and pretended to screw on a leg to a table. My mom poked in her head from the trapdoor while still leaning on the ladder leading to it.
    She smiled and said "Asta is coming later today so I'm going to be making a fairly large dinner" she laughed "if you need me I'll be in my desk she gave a little peace sign and left. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding a breath until I let it out.
    "I can't believe we did that" Luke mumbled. "Yeah" I relied exasperated.
