Hiya! Once again I apologize for the long wait but it was partially because I couldn't find inspiration for the chapter and laziness. But hey! I found some inspiration and I now know what to do for the next chap! A win win! It's like killing a bird with two stones! I think that's how the saying goes, dunno. I think I'm right and that's how it is. Thanks for those who reviewed, favorite, and followed last chapter! Please leave a review and favorite! Farewell and Enjoy!

Me No Own Fairy Tail

The Attic's Little Secret—

Café

As they walked through the town, Natsu hid behind Erza looking everywhere with big mismatched eyes in curiosity. Erza didn't seem to mind the other hiding behind her and took liberty of telling Natsu everything that made him yelp and jump in fear. Lucy, Gray, and Loke didn't blame Natsu for choosing Erza to hide behind since she was a good choice seeing as she was a scary, scary female.

They had tried to get Natsu some shoes earlier but he ended up hiding behind a large shoe display and when Lucy and Loke were tried to get near him to drag him out, he knocked the shoes over and then proceeded with throwing random shoe boxes at them. The only shoes they could actually get him to wear were cheap three dollar flip-flops that were power ranger pattern.

Now they were trying to show Natsu civilization and had given him a choice to choose where they should eat. That was well over an hour ago.

"Natsuuu," Loke groaned, throwing his head forward. "Just pick a place!" Natsu looked over his shoulder at the ginger before randomly pointing at a shop that just happened to be a small family owned café.

"Well, the kid got some luck in him, that's for sure." Gray muttered as they walked over to the small café. Nobody reacted when they walked through the door and the bell sounded above them, making Natsu jump in surprise and clung further onto Erza who barely reacted to Natsu jerking her around slightly.

"Good afternoon!" a waitress beamed from the front glass counter as she wiped down the glass before picking up five menus and walking around to stand in front of them. The waitress was pretty with long wavy white blonde hair that looked more white then blonde, or was most likely bleached. Her bangs were held up in a small bow so the hair was out of her big clear blue eyes that seemed to twinkle happily. She wore a light pink blouse with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows and a few buttons undone at the top showing a generous amount of her cleavage along with a white and yellow pleated skirt and white flats. A sky blue waist apron was tied securely around her hips and on her wrist was an old ratty pink and yellow friendship bracelet with a little blue butterfly dangling from it. "Where would you like to sit? Outside, or in here?" she asked. Erza looked around the empty café and decided on a seat at the far corner of the room but was still next to a window.

"Over there will be nice." Erza said, pointing to her desired seat. The waitress grinned at them without showing her teeth and led them over, setting the menus down in front of each seat.

"I'm Mirajane, but you can just call me Mira. If you need anything just wave me down." she said as she went back up front.

Loke had managed to pry Natsu away from behind his shield and sit him down in the seat next to the window with the best view of the outside so he wouldn't get bored. Loke sat next to him with the girls directly across as Gray pulled up a chair and sat down.

"So, what do you want to drink, Natsu?" Lucy asked, lacing her fingers together and setting her chin in them as she watched Natsu blink at her, then around the store. Sighing quite dramatically, Loke looked towards him.

"What drink do you want?" he asked, pointing out all the drinks on the menu when he got the pinkette's attention. Natsu furrowed his eyebrows together as he looked at the drink menu.

"Li… Lie…" he started, most likely randomly picking a drink since he didn't know any of them.

"Sound it out." Gray said in boredom as he looked down at his menu.

"Lie… Leimo… Liema… Lieman… Liemanaide." Natsu finally finished, looking up towards Gray with such a bright happy smile Gray and no one else at the table had the heart to tell him it was lemonade.

"Eh… close enough." Gray said with a nod, Natsu looking even happier at the praise as he looked down at the menu and started to carefully sound out the foreign words he's never seen before silently and quite wrong since he said piezzea instead of pizza and shuukoolite maise caika instead of chocolate mousse cake.

"So, where shall we go next?" Lucy pondered as she glimpsed at her own menu before instantly knowing what she wanted. "How about we go to the movies?" she suggested.

"No… not yet. I'm afraid the kid would freak out and think everything is real and start throwing poor civilians at the movie screen." Loke said as they all glanced over to Natsu who was oblivious to them talking about him as he continued to happily wrongly sound out the words of the menu.

"Good point…" Lucy trailed off.

"The park?" Erza put out.

"And have him terrorize little kids on the swing set? I rather not get sent to juvie, please and thank you." Gray said with a slight exhale of air.

"What about laser tag?" Loke asked only for everyone to give him a deadpanned look.

"No." they said in unison, Loke glaring at each and one of them.

"Is there anywhere we can take him?" Gray asked with a sigh, head thumping against the table.

"My grandpa owns a farm out in the country. It's a long ways away but there are horses and cows he can see." Mira said, scaring the crap out of everyone except Natsu at her sudden appearance.

"What." Loke blinked at her in confusion, Mira only giving him a slight smile before she repeated what she said.

"A few hours down my grandpa has a farm full of whatever farming animal or equipment you can think of. You could take him down there." she said. Gray, Erza, Lucy, and Loke all looked at each other and blinked in unison.

"That's actually… not a bad idea." Gray said as he looked towards Mira. "But how'd you know we were trying to find a place to bring him?" he asked out of curiosity. Mira looked at him in amusement as she put all her weight on one leg and jutted out her opposite hip slightly.

"The place is empty and we don't play music." she said, gesturing around the small café with her pen. "Plus, I love that you guys are helping someone like him!" Her eyes widened and her smile dropped as a pink flush covered her cheeks. "Oh! I didn't mean it like that! I-I just… from what I can gather he has a learning disability, but please tell me if I'm wrong or not!" she said, nervousness and embarrassment clear on her face. Erza gave a little laugh, finding an opening to explain why Natsu is like this without giving everything away.

"His maturity and learning ability isn't up to par, but that doesn't mean he isn't smart." she said. Mira shook her head quickly, looking slightly less embarrassed.

"Of course not!" she agreed. "Anyway, I can take you guys down to the farm in a bit, I don't get off until an hour and thirty minutes from now." she said. "So I can take your order now and by the time you guys are done, we can head out." she said. Erza nodded, smiling.

"That sounds great!"

"Liemanaide!"

"Is… Is he alright?" Mira asked as she watched Gray and Loke try to drag Natsu into the car, the pinkette screaming and kicking the whole time.

"We just recently learned he really hates cars." Lucy explained as she watched the seen nonchalantly.

"You insolent child! Get in the god damn car!" Loke screamed as he tried to push the teen in.

"Shut up Loke!" Gray shouted back while he tried to pull Natsu inside while he threw a tantrum.

"One minute," Erza said as she gave Mira a sweat smile and walked over to the struggling trio. She took out her phone from her pocket and dangled it in front of Natsu's face who became quiet and stopped struggling once he saw it. "If you be nice and get in the car, I'll let you play on it." she offered, Natsu nodding eagerly as he pushed past Gray and sat down in the seat, reaching out for the phone. Erza handed it to him as Gray rolled his eyes and buckled the teen in.

"So, we'll follow you there, 'kay?" Lucy said, looking at Mira who hesitantly smiled back.

"Sure…"
