"Less shouting, more drinking! We've got a hell of a defeat to celebrate here," Makarov shouted. Everyone in the Fairy Tail guild was wasted drunk at the Bar Sun, a small bar in the middle of Crocus. Cana was bashing us for being an embarrassment, although no one took offense due to her drunken state. 

Everyone was trying to put on a brave face and drink away the feeling of loss. My team and I were the only ones not completely wasted. We sat at a table in the corner, eating our dinner and having a normal conversation for once. Kali was sitting on my head, munching on her new favorite food, burritos. 

"Listen up!" Makarov announced. "Now that all you brats are here, I'd like to make a toast! Today we lost, and you know what that means don't ya? Tomorrow we climb to the top, because Fairy Tail never backs down and won't start now!" 

We all cheered and raised our glasses to the Master's testament. For the first time that evening, my team and I raised our glasses and drank to our guild's name. Unfortunately when my team drinks, we DRINK and it never ends well.

Natsu:

"Who wants some?!" Natsu yelled across the bar. "Don't chicken out on me now, I'm starting to enjoy myself," Max was under the table, unconscious from their fight.

"Another K.O." Macao announced.

"Not bad kid, but wanna try your luck against me." Gajeel challenged.

"NO Way!" Came a slurred voice from the corner of the room. Everyone turned to see a wasted Nashi Dragneel. "If anyOne' sgonna fight em, it'll be me!" She slurred.

"Nashi?" Natsu stared. He got off the table he was standing on and made his way to his daughter. The stench of whisky coated her familiar smoky vanilla scent. "Just how wasted are you?"

"Unimportant!" Nashi snapped. "We fight now old man," She sneered evilly. Natsu was taken back by his daughter's sudden change of personality. "So're you gonna fight me or not," Nashi held her fists in front of her face, ready to fight. She swayed back and forth like she was about to fall.

"You can't fight like this!" Natsu tried to reason.

"Oh, yeah?" Nashi challenged. "Watch me," Without warning, Nashi landed a right hook under Natsu's chin. Everyone stared in disbelief at the small Dragneel trying to fight her father. Natsu dodged every attack, if he couldn't reason with her then he would just have to wear her out. 

On the other side of the room, Gale was at the bar. She sat on the stool, staring at Lily who was standing on the table. 

"Wow, Lily..." Gale started. Lily raised an eyebrow at the teenage girl. "Your ears are so tiny!" Gale burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. She giggled and whooped at this statement. Lily simply stared at the girl, she was certainly Levy's daughter. She fell back on her stool and her world turned upside down. 

"Haha!" She cheered. "Everyone is on the ceiling!" Gale snorted and kicked laughed at every little thing. PantherLily rested his head in his paw, how did he get stuck watching the kid.

"Bring it on fur ball!" Storm shouted at Kali. 

"You're going down frosty," Kali declared. 

"On your mark," Warren started. "Get set, Go!" Storm and Kali started shoving burritos in their mouths like there was no tomorrow. There was no time for Kali to trash talk Storm like usual, there were burritos to be eaten and a race to be won.

The worst drunk in the room was not any of these four however. The title of worst drunk belonged to Reiki Fernandez. 

"It's not fair," Reiki sobbed. "I want more!" The tears were flowing out of Reiki's eyes like waterfalls. 

"No," Erza determined. She had just finished prying the bottle out of her son's hands. "It's time for you to take a break,"

"But I don't wanna!" Reiki cried. He latched his arms around his mother's armored waist. "I want moooorrreeee!!!" He moaned. Just then, there was a ruckus coming from the center of the room. Erza turned to see Cana passed out drunk and a man swinging her bikini top like a trophy. She made her way towards the commotion, Reiki still latched onto her waist.

"Is that you Bacchus?" He was now on the floor.

"Huh?" The drunken man jumped to his feet to face the Titania. "Well well, if it isn't Erza Scarlet," He slurred.

"Still a drunk,"

"Yeah, but even when I'm sober you're still smoking hot!"

"You leave my mother alone, you-" Reiki's words were cut short by Erza clamping her hand over her son's mouth.

"You sure know how to flatter a girl," Erza said sarcastically. 

"You know this man," Lucy interjected.

"I heard you'd gone into hiding for a while, such a shame." Bacchus slurred.

"Something like that, what about you? I heard you're actually competing in the games,"

Bacchus burst out laughing. "I'm entering the games as a reserve member and I plan to cause all kinds of trouble," He hiccuped. "My soul is shaken and stirred," Bacchus turned to leave, still talking. "Maybe we'll have our own little party in the battle round. It'll be nice to settle the score. You know what we say in our guild, we will always be..."

"wild," Erza non-enthusiastically finished.

"At least you're still good for a chuckle Erza," Bacchus cackled as he left the bar.

"Who was that walking distillery?" Lucy questioned.

"A member of Quattro Cerberus," Erza started. "He's one of their S- class wizards. I've run into him on jobs more than a few times over the years, and I know his strength all too well. Drunken Hop Bacchus, master of the drunken chop hanging palm. We've fought on many occasions, there has never been a clear winner,"

"What? You mean he's as strong as you," Lucy confirmed.

"What's it matter?" Natsu grunted. He was still trying to get his drunken daughter to calm down. "That's all history, there's no way Erza would lose to a cocky winery,"

"Stop talking about fights and fight me!" Nashi screeched. She threw a sloppy left hook, which Natsu caught. He twisted her arm behind her back, leaving her defenseless. 

"First we gotta deal with these drunks,"

"Agreed," Erza looked down at her teary eyed son who was still latched onto her hip. "Let's get them to bed," She stated. "Lily," She called out. PantherLily was happy to be getting rid of the laughing drunk. He transformed into his fighting form and picked up Gale under his arm. He carried her like a suitcase to where the small group had gathered by the door.

Lucy searched the room until she saw Kali and Storm almost passed out amongst several burrito wrappers. She picked up the small cat who was snoring softly. Just like his father, Storm was shirtless. Lily picked up the passed out teen under his other arm. 

The four of them made their way with the drunken future team to the door. Nashi was kicking and screaming all the way to the motel. Reiki was still crying for no apparent reason and Gale was still cackling like a hyena. Every now and then, Storm would hiccup himself awake only to fall back asleep. 

When the group made it to the motel, the drunk teens had calmed down. Lily and Erza made their way to the Future Team's room while Natsu and Lucy took Nashi and Kali to their's. Since Nashi was now a participant in the Grand Magic Games, she had to sleep in the same room as the rest of the team. 

When they finally reached their room, Nashi was still pretty pissed off, but had calmed down. Natsu practically threw her onto the bed closest to the door.

"Grr, I don't wanna go to bed! I wanna fight," Nashi growled. She sat up on the bed, ready to fight. Natsu pushed her down onto the bed again.

"Go to bed kid, you need your rest," Natsu stated. Nashi crossed her arms and pouted angrily. Natsu grabbed the covers and pulled them up to his daughter's chin.

"I'm still mad at you," Nashi muttered. Nonetheless, she closed her eyes and fell asleep right away. 

Natsu smiled. For the first time, he truly felt like Nashi's dad. He was taking care of her, like how Igneel took care of him. That thought made him wonder about his dad and Nashi. Did Nashi ever get to meet Igneel? 

Natsu brushed a piece of hair out of Nashi's face. This was his daughter, and he wouldn't let anything happen to her.
