[Side text: The crazy mages of Fairy Tail! And the past holds all sorts of untold tales...?!]
Lucy: Owwww!!
Mirajane: Are you all right, Lucy?
Lucy: Eheheh... sorry... I'm not used to this kind of thing.
Mirajane: No, I"m sorry... the Guild's all been rebuilt, but we still have a way to go with organising all this stuff...
Lucy: Nah, no problem! I'm glad to help! // Hmm? // What's this picture...?
Mirajane: Ahh! That takes me back!!

Fairy Tail / Extra Story
X778: Natsu and the Dragon Egg
[Insert text: Their first mystery! // Unstoppable curiosity!! // Everybody growing up with enormous smiles!!!]

4
[Side text: Finding things is good luck?! Natsu's random whim is about to bring a certain miracle to Fairy Tail?!]
[Text: It was back when I had only just joined Fairy Tail myself... // ...so I guess that makes it about six years ago.]
Natsu: An egg~~~!!! // I found an egg~~~!!!!
Makarov: An egg...? Where on Earth did you find that?
Natsu: Over in the forest to the East!

5
Gray: Heh, that's a pretty good find for you, Natsu.
Kana: Gray... your clothes!
Gray: So what, shall we all eat it together?
Natsu: Don't screw around! This is a dragon egg!!! I'm gonna hatch it!!!
Gray: A dragon?!!
Natsu: Well, look - this mark right here looks just like a dragon claw.
Gray: You... you think?
Natsu: So yeah... old man, can I hatch the dragon? Please?
Makarov: What are you talking about, you little fool? // There is no magic in this world to desecrate life itself. // Life is a force born of love; no magic can hope to match it.

6
Natsu: ...Old man, are you okay? I don't get what you're saying at all.
Makarov: Perhaps you're still too young, eh?
Erza: What he means is that if you want to hatch that thing, you'll have to do it with your own strength, diligently and properly. // After all, usually you do nothing but destroy things. // This is a good opportunity for you to learn about the birth of new life.
Natsu: Erza!!! // S - So you're here...!
Gray: W... We're getting along just fine as ever, see?! We're pals, we are!
Mirajane: Oh, so Erza's back, is she?

7
Mirajane: Let's pick up where we left off, then.
Elfman: Nee-chan......
Lisana: Fighting again~~~?
Mirajane: Go on... bring it.
Erza: Mira. // Now that you mention it, we hadn't settled things yet, had we?
Mirajane: Meet your end, Erza~~~!!!!
Erza: You're gonna weep, Mirajane~~!!!!

8
Gray: ...Where does that girl get off telling us not to fight with each other? Man, that pisses me off.
Natsu: Gahhhh!!! One day, I'm gonna beat the crap outta BOTH of 'em!
Lisana: Hey, Natsu! // Can I help you raise that egg, too?
Natsu: Oh, you're gonna help me, Lisana?!
Lisana: Uh-huh!! It sounds like fun, raising an egg!!
Gray: Is "raising" even the right word...?
Natsu: Still... how the heck do you even go about hatching an egg, I wonder?
Lisana: I read in a book once that eggs only hatch if you warm them up!
Natsu: What?! // Warm them up...?

9
Natsu: Hell, that's my specialty!!!!
Lisana: Aaaaaaghhhh~~~~~~~~~!!!! // You can't do that!! That's way too hot, you're going to burn it!
Natsu: Really?
Lisana: I'll see what I can do with my magic. // Take Over... // ...Animal Soul!!!!

10
Natsu: Ohhh!! // A bird!!!
Lisana: Why don't we see if I can warm it up like this, okay?
Natsu: Great idea, Lisana!!
Elfman: .........
Kana: What's wrong, Elfman?
Elfman: ...Lisana and Nee-chan can both use Take Over on their whole bodies... why am I the only one who can't...? / [aside]I'm s'posed to be a man...[/aside]
Kana: Oh, yeah... the three of you use the same magic, don't you?

11
[Text: A few days later]
Macau: So I hear Natsu and Lisana are keeping this dragon's egg warm.
Wakaba: A dragon~~? Ah, c'mon, those things don't even exist!
Macau: You think? Natsu always says he was raised by one, you know...
Wakaba: They've got this little base down in the park and everything, and they're always down there playing at "hatching"!
Macau: [aside]ahahahah![/aside] // Gotta love kids, eh?
Wakaba: !! // Ahh...!
Macau: The hell d'you think you're doing, Mirajane?!!!
Mirajane: I wondered why she hadn't been coming home recently... // So she's with Natsu, is she?!

12
Mirajane: So my own little sister thinks she can go around getting all buddy-buddy with Erza's scummy little group?!! / Huh?!!
Macau: Hey, don't ask us...
Wakaba: "Erza's group"? What's that...?
Lisana: Hey, Natsu... did you hear something just now?
[BubbleSFX: grrrrrrrrrrrrrr]
Natsu: Oh... sorry...
Lisana: .........

13
Lisana: Hey, come to think of it, you live on your own, don't you?
Natsu: Yeah.
Lisana: What do you do for food and stuff?
Natsu: I eat at the Guild.
Lisana: Paying for it and everything?!
Natsu: Well, that's what the work's for, right?
Lisana: I feel kind of sorry for you...
Natsu: Really?
Lisana: Hey, how about I make something for you sometime?
Natsu: What, you can cook?!
Lisana: Well, I'm not as good as Mira-nee...
Natsu: Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Mira cooks, an' all?!!! I can't imagine that!!!
Lisana: Elf-niichan cooks too, you know.
Natsu: F... For some reason, that I can see...!!!

14
Natsu: W... Well, you're not having this egg, all right?! A dragon's gonna hatch out of here!! It could even be Igneel's kid!
Lisana: ...Don't tell me you thought I was trying to eat the egg all along...? // I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of there as well!! That's why I'm helping!
Natsu: I hope it hatches soon~~!
Lisana: You know, Natsu, you're usually all rough and stuff, but you can be really nice and cute sometimes, too... you're just like Mira-nee!
Natsu: Whaa~?
Lisana: Maybe when we get older... I should be your bride!♡
[TN: TOO. CUTE. *hugs Lisana* ♡♡♡]

15
Natsu: Wh... What the heck do you think you're saying?!!!
Lisana: Well, you know... you're pretty reliable, and you seem like you'd be great with kids... // Oh, don't go all red. Obviously I'm only joking!
Natsu: Y... You're one of those... what was it - the old man said it once... a MASEGAKI!!!
[TN: Apparently it's a term for a child who acts like an adult. Any English equivalent? @_@]
Lisana: Are you sure you're not just immature?
Natsu: ! // It made a noise!!!
Lisana: Uh-huh!!
Natsu: Maybe it's gonna hatch soon...!
Lisana: I can't wait!

16
Natsu: I'm gonna stay here for the night and keep watch over it!
[SFX: *snore*~~~]
Natsu: ...You fell asleep already?!! // THE EGG'S GONE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!
Lisana: Whaaaaaa?! Why?! How?!!
Natsu: WHO DID IT?!! WHO STOLE MY EGG~~?!!!
Gray: Your egg disappeared?
Kana: Well, don't look at me.

17
Natsu: Luxus! It was you, wasn't it!!!
Luxus: Like I give a crap.
Natsu: Erza!!! Spit it out already!!!
Erza: Whoa, whoa... slow down a little, would you?
Lisana: Mira-nee, have you seen our egg?
Mirajane: Can't say I have. // Are you sure you didn't just eat it? // Natsu.
Natsu: WHY, YOU LITTLE...!!!
Mirajane: Looking for a fight, Natsu?!!! I'm not gonna hold back!!!
Gray: Natsu... why, you...!!!
Erza: Oh, give it a rest, would you?!
Luxus: Stupid brats...

18
Macau: Those kids... they're at it again...
Wakaba: There's something wrong with that generation, I tell ya... I don't wanna think what this Guild's gonna be like in a few years...
Makarov: Oh, they're only at each other's necks because they have an acceptance of one another. / Those kids only have eyes for one another. // I don't think we have anything to worry about.
Natsu: Where did... my egg go...?!
Mirajane: Oh, you're crying now, Natsu...? / [aside]how cute.[/aside]
Natsu: I ain't crying!!!

19
Erza: Don't you think this is enough now, Mira? / You're making poor Natsu cry and everything...
Natsu: I am NOT crying!!!
Lisana: Our egg...
Elfman: Natsu... Lisana... I'm sorry.
Lisana: !
Elfman: It's not like I meant to steal it.
Lisana: The egg!!
Natsu: Elfman?!
Elfman: I just thought it must be an awful lot of work for the two of you, keeping it warm all on your own... / I mean, it gets pretty cold at night, right...? // But... well... you know I'm no good at magic, so I get kind of embarrassed... that's why I helped out in secret...

20
Natsu: So that's what it was~!!!
Lisana: Thank you, Elf-niichan!!!
Mirajane: You totally thought it was me, didn't you.
Erza: Oh, and you didn't think it was me...?
Lisana: It... It's hatching!!!!
Natsu: Aaahhh!!!
People: Hey - move it!!! // Stop that... no pushing!!

21
People: A CAT?!!!
Lisana/Natsu: Aahhhh!!!
People: It's got... wings...... / Is it a bird? // No... that's totally a cat...... / A blue cat...

22
Happy: Aye!
Lisana: So cute...!!! // Hey, look, Natsu...!
Natsu: ?
Lisana: Even though everyone was all angry just a momoent ago... // Now they all look so happy! // It's almost like the "Blue Bird of Happiness"!
Natsu: Happiness, huh...?!

23
Natsu: Well, then, this guy's name can be "Happy"!
Happy: Aye!
Natsu: Happy the Dragon!
Happy: Aye!
People: He's not a dragon!!!!
Reedus: Heheheh... Let's make it a dragon for the picture...
[Insert text: So it seems the reason Happy can talk(?) is that he was born from an egg! What other secrets are hidden in the guild of Fairy Tail?! I'm sure we'll see sooner or later!!]
Lucy: Y... You hatched out of an egg...?
Happy: Aye!! So they tell me!
Lucy: Sh... Should I eat that for you...?
Happy: You're as big a glutton as ever, huh, Lucy?
Lucy: Look... I'm really not one of those characters, so don't go saying stuff like that...
