Previously…

"Our names are Rhiannen and Reiki Hearfilia. We are Lucy Heartfilia's future children."

~Romeo, Happy, and Charle were now in the future. After a long, disastrous escape from a purple monster, a strawberry blonde girl saves them, and explains that they landed in the future and that she and his brother, are Lucy's future children.~

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE HEARTFILIA TWINS (present arc)

The Fairy Tail mages stood still as statues, their mouths open in astonishment as they stared at the darkening screen of the Memory Lacrima. Only Romeo, Charle, and Happy remained solemn, already knowing what was shocking the others so much. There was not a sound inside the room except for Plue's constant 'Pun, pun…', their synchronized breathing, and the unmistakable tension of shock in the air.

Lucy was more stunned than anyone else. She had stood up the moment her… her son (really? HER FRICKIN' FUTURE SON?!) said that they were her future children. Her palms were sweaty and her nerves were on edge, as if she was electrocuted.

"Wha… Wha…" she stammered, unable to form a word. Well, what was she supposed to say?! What would anyone say if they were presented of the fact that twenty years from now, they'll be having two kids and know what their names are?!

"TWINS!" Erza suddenly exclaimed.

"BUNNY GIRL WITH FRICKIN' TWINS!" Gajeel seconded, looking surprised as well.

"LUCY'S GONNA HAVE TWINS… AND THE BOY IS REALLY GORGEOUS!"

A bolt of shock passed her as she realized that every person in the room was staring at her like some sort of freak show. Then suddenly, the Mages crowded to her like she was a celebrity, squashing Plue in the process.

"LUCY-SAN, THIS IS AMAZING!" Wendy said faintly.

"LU-CHAN! CONGRATULATIONS!" Levy squealed, hugging her.

"YOUR CHILDREN ARE LOVELY!" Mira screeched, her hands placed on either side of her face, disbelieving.

"JUVIA CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

"YOU ARE TRULY MAN!" Elfman shook her hand violently, tears streaming down her face.

"Man?" Lily probed.

"THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING FEAT, LUCY…" Erza said emotionally, clenching a fist. "I CONCEDE… YOU ARE MORE WOMAN THAN ME THIS TIME…"

"Wait 'till it's your turn, Erza!" they heard Happy say.

"WHA… WHAT ARE YOU CONGRATULATING ME FOR? IT'S NOT LIKE I'M PREGNANT OR ANYTHING!" she stammered back, her face flustered.

"But you will be in some time! Oh gosh, what about me? Will my kids make a cameo?" Lisanna pressed her hands to her chest, her eyes starry.

"And mine too!' Levy joined in, squealing.

"This isn't some cheesy reality show, you know." Gray said through the noise.

Cana suddenly cackled. "Bet their Natsu's kids."

"CANA!" Natsu and Lucy said at the same time, both red in the face.

"What?" she grinned. "I'm telling the truth. Did you see the girl's hair? It was a mix of pink and blonde, obviously got it from both parents!"

The Celestial Spirit Mage could only gap at Cana, who just laughed at her expression. In the corner of her eye, she saw Natsu staring at her, his face embarrassed, fidgeting. This was so awkward…

"Natsu, don't let it embarrass you or anything." Lucy said comfortingly. She placed a comforting hand on his arm and gave him a confused look when the Fire Mage flinched.

"Y… yeah." he muttered, avoiding her eyes.

"I disagree with you Cana." Erza suddenly said seriously. "The boy had blue-black hair, almost the same color as…" the Requip Mage glanced at Juvia before finishing. "Gray's."

It was pandemonium again after that. Lily pointed out that Erza's argument was right, while the others began talking about the possibility of Natsu or Gray becoming the dad. Gray suddenly froze and turned pale, his mouth hanging open. Natsu's face suddenly become stricken, looking as if you told him all the fire in the world got extinguished. Juvia's reaction was different than they thought but was still expected. Instead of opening the waterworks and drowning all of them, she glared at Lucy so venomously; a dark aura loomed around her.

"YOU ARE NOT GETTING GRAY-SAMA!" Juvia screeched at her.

"Juvia… it's not like that…" Gray attempted to calm the Water Mage despite feeling numb.

"Guys, please calm down…" Wendy tried to tame the noise.

"Well, I still say they're Natsu's." Cana said loudly.

"But you shouldn't out rule the possibility that they're Gray's, too." Erza debated reasonably. Juvia amped her 'evil aura' at that. Gray was still frozen, Natsu said nothing, and Lucy was shaking at this whole mess.

"But the boy said Rhian liked to beat the crap out of people before talking." Cana shot back. "That's more like Natsu's style."

"It's the whole Guild's style, to tell you the truth." Makarov muttered under his breath. (He had kept quiet along this whole debacle, Orel having fallen asleep halfway through.) The first thing that greets him in the morning are the tons of paperwork sent to him by the Council; all of them saying the same thing, 'public and private property damages', 'outrageous behavior'… Although Natsu did have his own special pile.

"But Reiki stripped his shirt off, and it's Gray's habit." Erza pointed out another logical reason. "See?" she pointed at an expectedly half-naked Gray who only had his boxers on.

"Gray-sama, your clothes!"

"GAH!"

"But guys…" Mirajane piped in. "Didn't you notice that their Guild symbols are at the same place where Natsu's and Gray's are stamped? Rhian, like Natsu's is on her upper right arm and Reiki, like Gray's is on his right side chest? And not to mention that it's the same color, too. Red and blue."

The noise stopped so abruptly as the Mages digested this revelation.

"Well, that settles it!" Gajeel gave a great guffaw of laughter. "Bunny Girl banged them both!"

"Nai, nai, nai…" Some of them shook their heads as they concluded it swiftly while there were others who were too dense to understand the logic of genetics.

"Wait…What the heck?" Natsu bit out angrily.

"Um… what does Gajeel-san mean by 'banging'?" Wendy asked innocently, bewildered.

"We'll tell you when you're older." Mira said comfortingly.

"Mmm… That makes sense, Gajeel." Erza nodded, her arms folded. "I can't believe you did a number on both Natsu and Gray, Lucy."

"I DID NOT! AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!" Lucy's face was like a tomato again. "THEY'RE TWINS! THEY ONLY HAVE ONE FATHER!"

"But they don't look alike." Elfman said blankly.

"Because they're fraternal twins! They're not supposed to look alike!" Lucy said shrilly. "And stop talking about who they father could be! You're making this awkward among us!" she pointed towards a fuming Juvia, a fidgeting Natsu, and a shell-shocked Gray.

"That's right." Levy piped in. "And you shouldn't rule out the possibility that one or both of them used Transformation Magic to alter how they look to confuse us. Remember that they know that we're seeing this. Not to mention the fact that it could be someone outside the Guild who will be their father."

"Mmmm…" they all said thoughtfully.

"I don't get it." Natsu said.

"We know, Natsu." Happy said. "Don't try to understand. You shouldn't think at all!"

"Say what?!"

"But I'm still betting that they're Natsu's kids." Cana said. "And if we need a bit of proof then we could look it up once they use their Magic. They'll be using Magic, right?" Romeo, Happy, and Charle nodded, their lips twitching. "Then we could base it on their Magic. Kids usually inherit whatever Magic their parents have so we could see if it resembles Natsu or Gray's magic."

"Fine with me." Erza shrugged.

"You brats sure are a slow bunch." Makarov finally spoke. "Worrying about some nonsense… Did anyone of you notice the fact that the twins stated that the place Romeo and the others were was not Earthland?"

"Yeah… They said the place was called Cephiria, or something." Lucy said, grateful for the interruption.

Orel suddenly snorted, bolting awake. "Did I hear the word Cephiria?" he blinked at them.

"Uh… yeah you did, old man." Gray answered. "And you've got drool on your face."

Orel scrubbed his jaw impatiently, staring at Makarov in a meaningful way. The Master gave a grave nod.

"Now what are you geezers hiding from us?" Gajeel complained.

The two old men did not explain any further. Makarov faced his children once more. "We will continue viewing if you all wish."

All of them agreed. Romeo, Happy, and Charle had been sent to the Guild sleeping quarters, as they felt sleepy. All who were invited to view were still awake, although Lucy saw that most of them looked tired. Mira was rubbing her eyes and Gray stretched his limbs, yawning. Wendy had splashed water on her face and was slapping her face lightly. Master, Erza, Lily, and Gajeel looked wide awake however, and Natsu was still sitting cross-legged across the carpet, looking stiff. Elfman was stating that 'It is not MAN to sleep.' and Juvia was sending dirty looks towards Lucy, keeping as close as possible to Gray. None of them wanted to sleep. If it weren't for the fact they were getting such important information, all of them would've hit the sack. Levy and Lisanna suddenly shuffled on Lucy's either side, giggling.

"We get to view more of your twins, Lu-chan!" Levy whispered.

"If I have a girl, I get dibs on Reiki!" Lisanna breathed at her. "He has that rebel-look spot on!"

"No fair, Lisanna!" Levy pouted, but Lisanna looked determined. "Fine. If I have a boy, we'll pair him up with your Rhian, Lu-chan!"

"You guys… Shouldn't you let the twins decide themselves? You know… if they ever come?" Lucy said exasperatedly.

"Oh, they'll come alright!" Lisanna said positively. "Although I agree on what Cana said…"

The lights dimmed as the Memory Lacrima began to glow. Lucy stared at Lisanna confusingly, waiting for her to finish her statement.

"…I'm also betting it's Natsu."

A/N: End of chapter, lovelies! *BANG!* Did ya hear that? Yeah, that was the sound of NaLi being wiped out from the face of this fanfic! I'm taking a leaf out of Mashima's book and forcing RoT's Lisanna to support NaLu herself! Bwahaha… But beware… don't get too comfy NaLu fans… Erza herself pointed out that Gray could be a likely candidate… :sneaky:

Did anyone read the latest Fairy Tail chapter? Oh god, I'm so trolled right now… And the next chapter won't be out for another two weeks?! *sigh* We'll be treated with side-stories to make up for it, though…

'Till next time!
