Father's Memento
"Wow, another one? What gives?" You asked as you read the newspaper. "Did something bad happen?" Kinana asked. "Someone's been setting fire to churches lately." Wendy said. "That's a sadistic hobby." Carla said. "We know him! He works for the Council!" Lucy said as she saw the picture of Lahar. "Seven years and he hasn't stopped frowning. Natsu look!" Happy said. But Natsu had fallen asleep. Romeo sweat dropped. "He's dead to the world, isn't he?" He asked. You sweat dropped. "Brain dead and oblivious is pretty much par for the course with him." You said. "I can't believe someone would set fire to churches. Times have changed." Happy said. "I'm having trouble catching up with everything." Wendy said. "Not to mention our seven year cat nap destroyed my clairvoyance. The future is nothing but fuzzy pictures and to me now." Carla said. "That's not good." Wendy said. "It's quite annoying." Carla said. Suddenly Natsu woke up. "That's a weird smell." He said. "Sleeping beauty's awake!" Happy said. "Hey, (Y/n)! You have a visitor!" Romeo said. You gasped as you saw a young lady with brown hair, a pink dress, and a pink hat on. Romeo pointed at you. "The one with the (H/c) hair is the one you want." He said. The lady smiled. "Thank you young man." She said. "Who's that girl?" Natsu asked. "No idea." You said. The young lady walked in holding something. "Excuse me, but are you (Y/n) (L/n)?" She asked you. You stood up. "Yes, ma'am. I'm a (L/n) but who's asking exactly?" You asked. "Who am... I?" The lady asked.
She suddenly started crying. "How could you forget your dear Michelle Lobster?! You meanie!" She cried. "What?!" You asked. "Her tears are like waterfalls." Wendy said. "Way to be a jerk, (Y/n)." Natsu said. The lady smiled. "I'm so sorry. I guess I shouldn't expect you to remember me after such a long time." She said. "Would you like some tissue?" Kinana asked. "How could you forget a vision like that?" Elfman asked as he rubbed your arm. You sweat dropped. "Elfman, I hate you." You said. "Allow me to start over. I'm Michelle Lobster from the Lobster family. It's good to see you again, big sister (Y/n)." Michelle smiled. "Hang on..." you said. "Sister?!" Everyone asked. "I guess Daddy (Y/n) was sewing wild oats on those business trips!" Happy said. "While the Lobsters and the (L/n)s are related, (Y/n) and I aren't really sisters." Michelle said. "I see. So you're a distant relative of hers." Carla said. "That makes a little more sense." Kinana said. "Yeah. They do seem pretty different." Wendy said. "Looks to me like they've got a couple of things in common." Elfman said. "First it's Gildarts And Cana,
and now (Y/n) has a shellfish for a daughter?" Natsu asked. "How did you get that idea?!" You asked. "Just kidding; don't blow a gasket!" Natsu said. "Would you mind explaining why you call (Y/n) your big sister?" Lucy asked. "Because she's older than me, silly goose!" Michelle said. "Okay, no offense but I thought you were the one who who's older." You said. Michelle smiled. "Oh that's all right." She said. "What's the matter, Natsu? You look confused." Lisanna said. "That girl's from the future. I totally get it." Natsu said. "I don't think you do." Lisanna said. Happy flew over. "Even though we've been bringing this up constantly, ever since we got back from the guild, flame brain forgot we spent seven years on Tenrou Island." Happy said. Carla flew over. "When you take that into account it makes perfect sense. (Y/n) may not have aged physically, but her actual age remains unchanged so she's technically older." She said. "Uh..." Natsu said. "His poor little brain can't handle all this." Lisanna said as she pat his back. "That's our Natsu." Mira said. Michelle began crying again. "At long last I finally found you." She said. "Come on, don't cry. Here, why don't I take that case for you?" You asked. "Oh that's right, I'm supposed to give this to you. You're so thoughtful, (Y/n)!" Michelle said as she went to hug you. "Wait!" You said.
"The entire point of my journey was to find you so I could deliver that. On another topic could I have some ice for my footsie?" Michelle asked. "A real man woulda saved her footsie!" Elfman said. "So why didn't you save it, ya jerk?!" Lucy asked. "This is heavy." Kinana said. "No kidding, is it full of cement?" Wendy asked. "Are you sure they're related?" Natsu asked. "They're both busty, and have their own personal brand of crazy. Sounds like family to me." Happy said. "Okay. What the heck is in this thing?" You asked. "I'm not sure honestly. All I know is your father wanted you to have it." Michelle said. You gasped. "I was his assistant until just a short while ago. And this is my last earned for him." Michelle said "Actually, he passed the case on to me when he was on his deathbed. So here we are. My last assignment for Mr. (L/n)'s come to an end."
Michelle said. "His final moments. And you were right there with him." You said. "He never stopped worrying about you after you went missing all those years ago. But he was sure you were alive somewhere. It's because he held onto that hope that he asked me to find you and give you his memento. He went peacefully, as if falling asleep. And ever since then I've been searching for you. Finding you has been my sole purpose. And now it's all done. I think mr. (L/n) will finally be able to Rest In Peace." Michelle said. "So what's in it?" Lucy asked. "I don't know. I was only told to deliver it, so I never looked inside to see for myself." Michelle said. "Thanks, Michelle." You said. "Open it up!" Natsu said. "Huh?" You asked. "Don't leave her hanging like this. Seriously, she busted her butt getting this thing here. The least you could do is let her see it. So hurry up, everyone's waiting." Natsu said. "Okay." You said. You opened the box to find something wrapped in cloth. Lucy sweat dropped. "Can we close it now?" She asked. "It smells funky." Natsu said. "Maybe it's this cloth." You said as you grabbed it. "Nah, it's got some kind of magic on it. But whatever it is it smells really old." Natsu said. Carla gasped and stepped back. "Are you okay, Carla?" Wendy asked. "Maybe she has gas." Happy said. "oh, it's nothing." Carla said. You opened the cloth. "Michelle, what is this, exactly?" You asked.
"I assume it's something Mr. (L/n) was found of, does it look familiar?" She asked. "Not really. I don't remember seeing anything like this around the house." You said. "Ah. A weapon!" Natsu said. Lucy sweat dropped. "Yeah. Somehow I doubt that." She said. "I just remembered." Michelle said. "It's totally a weapon, isn't it?" Natsu asked. "No it's not." Michelle shook her head. "But you do know what it is?" You asked. "No, it's just... I remembered that I haven't eaten anything in three days." Michelle said. Her stomach growled.

You and Lucy walked with Michelle back to the apartment. "It seems like a fun guild." Michelle said. "You mean Dad didn't tell you about it?" You asked. "Fairy Tail's only the most important thing that's ever happened to me." You said. "Actually, I knew you were in a guild, but you had already vanished. "That seems to have thrown a wrench into a lot of people's minds." You said. "After everything you've been through I'm surprised you've remained here." Michelle said. "Really? I wouldn't give it up for the world." You said. "Like I said, Fairy Tail's my life." You said. "The guild's got it's fair share of bad apples, but who cares? everyone's so passionate. They all love their magic the same way we love our celestial spirits. We would do anything for one another. We're like family." Lucy said. You smiled and nodded in agreement. "I think Mr. (L/n) would be very happy to know that you've found a home." Michelle said. You smiled. "I'd like to think so too. I'm glad you're here, Michelle." You said. "Tada! Welcome to castle de' Lucy and (Y/n) madame!" Lucy said. "You know it's because of dad that I'm still able to call this place home." You said. You, Lucy and Michelle went into the apartment. "Get comfy! I'll brew us some tea!" Lucy told you and Michelle. "Oh don't trouble yourself." Michelle said. "It's no trouble, trust me. I can't tell you how happy I am." Lucy said. Michelle then picked up Lucy's papers. "I was so little when my mom passed away, and then I lost dad in the blink of an eye. It's been pretty rough lately." You said. "Finding out o have relatives is awesome." You said. "So are there any other Lobsters nearby?" Lucy asked. "I'd love to meet them sometime. Do you get to see them often?" You asked. You gasped. "Don't mind me, I just ramble when I'm excited." You said. Michelle was crying as she read Lucy's story. "Keep your chin up, iris, you'll get through it somehow!" She said. "Oh come on! Don't read things without permission!" Lucy said.

"So how long have you wanted to be a writer, Lucy?" Michelle asked. You sweat dropped. "You're worse than Natsu. Chew or talk, it's not hard." You said. "I really wish I knew what this thing is. There's no inscription or anything." Lucy said. "You're so cool, I'm jealous. You've achieved one dream and now you're working towards another. You two are really living a charmed life, aren't you?" Michelle asked. "You think so?" You asked. "I do. It must be nice. To have a dream, all your own." Michelle said. "So, where are you going from here?" Lucy asked. Michelle frowned and looked away. You smiled. "Hey, why don't you stay with us for a bit?" You asked. You took her hands in yours. "It's no trouble, really." You said. "Oh no, I don't want to be a bother." Michelle said. "Don't be silly! We'd love another roommate!" Lucy said. "Yeah." You said. Michelle began to cry. "Thank you. I promise you won't regret it, big sis!" Michelle said. "I'll find a job quick. Don't worry about rent, I'll be on time, promise!" Michelle cried. You and Lucy sweat dropped. "Michelle, your nose." Lucy said. "I got an idea! Why don't you work at the guild hall?" You asked. "Me? Work at Fairy Tail?" Michelle asked.

"Giddy up, Mr. Horsie man, it's outlaw Lucy! We gotta go catch her!" Asuka said. "No, it's the little bounty hunter!" Lucy said playfully. "Be thankful you don't have facial hair." Makarov said. "Horses don't talk, silly." Asuka said as she pulled his hair. "But they feel!" Makarov said. "Natsu is looking for you two." Bisca said. "It was something about hunting bandits." Alzack said. "I'm so excited." Lucy said sarcastically. "It's about time, slow pokes!" Natsu said. "We've been waiting for you!" Happy said. "May I come along? I'd love to watch your work." Michelle said. "Huh?" Bisca and Alzack asked. "Um, I'm not sure that's a good idea." You said as you read the flyer. "But I'd love to see what wizards do first hand, and you'll be there to protect me." Michelle said. "Yeah, she'll be fine!" Natsu said. "Come on, (Y/n), there's nothing more fun than watching this team put the hurt on more thugs!" Happy said. "And we do guarantee satisfaction." Gray said. "Master, would you talk some sense into them?" Lucy asked. "May I please go?" Michelle asked. "You bet!" Makarov said. "Go for it!" Asuka said. "Guess It's settled." Bisca said. "Any objections, master Macao?" Alzack asked. "Whatever, knock yourselves out." Macao said. "I have no objections, either." Erza said. "Experience isn't a bad thing, even if that experience is forced on someone too early, it will still benefit them. You two know all about that, don't you miss I'm going on an S Class Quest without permission?" Erza asked. "Yes, Erza, we see your point. Alright, Michelle, welcome to the team." You said. "How exciting!" She said. "It might get pretty hairy, but stay by our side and you'll be just fine!" Lucy winked. "This is awesome! We're gonna make hunting down these bandits a family affair! I'm fired up!" Natsu said.

"The flier says these bandits are so ruthless the victims suffer from night terrors after the attack." Gray said. "They sound nasty! This should be fun!" Natsu said. "Even royal soldiers who went into the mountains to search for them came back sobbing like a bunch of babies." Gray said. "I'm having second thoughts about this whole thing." Lucy said. "I brought snacks if you're hungry." Michelle said. "She's just like Natsu. Totally clueless." You said. Michelle began to eat a muffin. "So good. I can't believe that you're depended on more than the royal soldiers." Michelle said. "Depended on" may be a bit much." Lucy said. Erza rod over in a horse carriage. "The client gave us this to use." She said. "Please tell me she's not driving." Natsu said. "I've got this all worked out. First we need to tempt the bandits into robbing us. Lucy and I will ride in the front seat, posing as a pair of helpless women, meanwhile, (Y/n), Natsu, Gray and Michelle will hide in the wagon so they can spring the trap. Once we're surrounded Lucy and I will distract as many of the fools as we can with our feminine wiles. At that moment, (Y/n), Natsu and Gray will leap out and dispatch the other bandits before joining us in a pincer formation-" "if you think I'm setting foot in that wagon you're out of your mind!" Natsu said. Erza gave him an evil look. "You object to my plan do you? That's a gutsy move." She said. Natsu sweat dropped. "Beat me all you want, I ain't going!" He said. "What's wrong?" Michelle asked. "Natsu has trouble with anything on wheels." You said. "That's certainly surprising." Michelle said. "It's so hot." Gray whined. "Don't you dare!" Lucy snapped. "If you'd like someone else to be up front, I'm a fairly capable driver." Michelle said. "Huh?" You asked. "That's fine if you don't mind being bait." Natsu said. "It'll be dangerous." Happy said. "I know, but it makes more sense to have all the fighters in the back, doesn't it? If it would better our chances, I'll gladly take the reins." Michelle said. "I don't know about this." Lucy said.

"Looky, looky." "Ooh, more visitors." "We've got a big haul today!" The bandits said as they saw the carriage ride through. Happy carried Natsu in the air. "Next time you wanna fly, leave me outta it!" Happy said. "Come on, give me a break. If you wanna blame someone blame Erza for coming up with such a stupid plan!" Natsu said. "Tell that to her face, hot shot!" Happy said. "Screw that, you tell her!" Natsu said. "Uh huh. That's what I thought." Happy said. "Here they come. Don't leave my side, understand?" Lucy asked. Michelle nodded. "Operation "show the goods" is a go!" Lucy said. "Right." Michelle said. Lucy striped into her bathing suit. "We're so lucky you big strong men found us." She said. "Prepare yourselves." Erza said as she, you and Gray hid in the back. "Okay, but "show the goods" is the best you could do?" Gray asked. "We're lost and need some major help right now." Lucy said. "Oh my, cover yourself!" "Yeah, nobody wants to see that." "Only bimbos flaunt it." "Besides, my skin has much more luster." "You tell her, girl. Get the cargo before I vomit." The bandits said as they walked away. Lucy sweat dropped. "I think my self esteem just died." Lucy said. "Hope your packing product, ladies." One of the bandits said as they opened the back. "Or a wagon full of chocolate!"
Gray then attacked them. "Sorry fellas, but all we're packing is a beating!" He said. The bandits charged toward him. "He's gorgeous!" "Kiss me!" "I saw him first!" Gray screamed. "Ice Dragon: Wing Attack!" You quickly attacked them. Erza was pissed. "You fiends! I stayed up all night long planning that strategy of ours and now it's been for nothing!" Erza requipped. "In the name of all night owls, I shall punish the lot of you!" She said. "And survey says: crazy." Gray said. "You made me break a nail, witch! I'll get you back!" A bandit said. Lucy sweat dropped. "Keep trash talking, that's not all they'll break on ya." Lucy said. "Brazen hussies!" Big sis said. "Big sis, it's you!" The bandit said. "You may have been born women, but your hearts will never possess the feminine spark ours do! Also your hair is atrocious, your hips are too curvy, and those fun bags look about as real as daddy's dentures." "Big sis" said. "Big sis, I have such a girl crush on you right now!" The bandit said. "I see. No wonder all of their victims kept having nightmares for months." Lucy said. "I think someone deserves a spanking!" Big sis said. "Lucy get out of the way!" Michelle said as she began to drive the carriage. Lucy yelped as she fell over. "You almost killed me ya nut job!" Big sis said. "You're done! Chew on Fleuve d'étoiles!" Lucy said. But only smoke came out. "Huh? She asked. "Why does this always happen to me?" Lucy asked. "Come on, work! Pretty pretty please!" Lucy said as the bandit came behind her. Natsu suddenly attacked the bandit. "Let's do it, Happy!" Natsu said. "Aye, sir!" Happy said. "Fire Dragon: Brilliant Flame!" Natsu creates a large fireball to throw at the bandits. Gray attacked more bandits. "Elemental Dragon Roar!" You attacked the last few. Erza stepped on one of them. "So are you going to come quietly?" She asked. "Amazing! That was absolutely incredible, Lucy!" Michelle said. "I can't believe how strange big sis and her friends are!" She said.

"How did you like your first job?" Erza asked. "It was awe inspiring! Wizards and their guilds are amazing!" Michelle said. "That's right. It can get kinda rowdy at times, but there's never a dull moment." Gray said. Michelle smiled.

"I've been putting some thought into this. And I was wondering if I could bend your ear." Michelle said. "What's up?" Lucy asked. "I'm curious as to how your guild receives its jobs. Do people pay for their requests to be considered?" Michelle said. "I think so." You said. "I'd really like to know more about the memento your father left. So I'm thinking of putting in a request." Michelle said. "Michelle, you're a freakin genius!" Lucy said.

"This is a first." Makarov said. "In all my years, I don't think I've ever seen a wizard hire another wizard." Wakaba said. "I don't see any problem with it, I'll have Mirajane make a request poster for the bored." Macao said. "What a great idea, (Y/n)!" Mira said. "Indeed. I look forward to seeing who takes the job." Makarov said. "So you're asking Fairy Tail for help?" Natsu asked. "Yup. It's approved." You said. "I'm curious about the magic on the cloth wrapped around the memento. And I'd like to find out what Mr. (L/n) was trying to tell (Y/n). It is his very last message to her after all." Michelle said. "Good attitude! Happy and I will solve it, no prob!" Natsu said. "Just don't let him hold it unless you want him to break it." Happy said. "Oh yeah? How about I break your face, pal?" Natsu snapped. "Seems like fate, doesn't it? Those two meeting up." Makarov said. "The only family either of them have left is each other." Macao said. "By the way, I wanted you to know I'm impressed you had the foresight to run a background check on her new friend." Makarov said. "Being thrust into the role of master for seven years teaches you to think on your feet. I've learned a lot. Like how to be paranoid." Macao said. Michelle cried as she fell over. "Not my fault." Natsu said. "Are you okay, Michelle?" You asked. "Huh?" Makarov asked. "Hey, look!" Gray said. "Yes, I see it too." Erza said. "Huh?" Lucy asked. Suddenly the strange object began to float in the air. Then it stood up as small yellow writing began to appear on it. "I am seriously freaked out right now." You said. "What's with the writing? Is it some kind of ancient script?" Gray asked. "If it is, Levy could read it." Lucy said. "She left with Shadow Gear this morning for a job clear across Fiore. Freed is gone too." Makarov said as he walked over. "What do you think it's trying to tell us, big sister?" Michelle asked. "I wish I knew." You said. "Can't you read ancient graffiti too, old man?" Natsu asked. "Listen closely. I think you should let sleeping dogs lie." Makarov said. "What are you talking about?" You asked. "I can't. I'll solve it." You said. 'I have to. For my dad's sake. And for mine.' You thought.
