Heya! First 2011 fic, was been a while! I started my staying here with "Ask the Fairies" fic, that currently is on hold (but noooooooot for too much longer!) so I decided to make another one, this as two-chapters fic, envolving our Jellal's photocopy: version with spikier hair from Edolas, lol
Is almooooost like a torture story for the poor princy, but I will try to make him as loyal to the series as possible...just to test his patience that's far greater than any Fairy Tail's member, no counting Mirajane (eta girl).
Ah, ya noticed, english is not my mother language, so it is screwed sometimes! Sure, you can facepalm if you find some gross grammar mistake around here, XD
One last note before teh story: This is around...hm...after Nirvana's arc but before Edolas's. Yeah, before our Misty to be kicked out of the show. Yet it contain spoilers! Anime only-viewers, ya are been warned! O_O
This story focus Mystogan, but folks like Lucy and Natsu will get somehow involved =D
My staves by an apple!
It was a very cold morning in the woods close to Magnolia city. Birdies were singing and worms were getting eaten by them. Everything was in peace in the natural, even for a small tree house around there. (arceus knows where the heck he sleeps. In Fairy Hills's male version surely not)
A blue haired man around his twenties with a strange (yet very suitable) tattoo in the right side of his face, rase his well built naked chest from the bed, visibly still sleepy. Oh god, making sleep others people is a piece of a cake, but himself...not really. Wearing like, who knows, about five layers of clothing and carrying five staves in the back is not exactly very appropriate for required eight hours of sleep.
The young man, named Jellal in birth but calling himself Mystogan during this staying in this place, got up lazily and walked into the bathroom for a shower. Soon after feeling refreshed, he picked his usual set of clothing (again, five layers of clothing) and went to kitchen to get some breakfast.
Mystogan's taste regarding breakfast is pretty simple: milk and fruit. However this morning he witnessed something kinda disturbing for him.
No apples. *insert drama soundtrack*
Mystogan grumbled.
Great, he had to forget something that important in his latest list of food gathering. For some reason he loves apples, not resisting to bite one (with incredible ability to do that with his mask ON) at least once by day.
And now he is totally broke. Thanks Laxus for ruining his last attempt to get a job, when exactly JUST by coincidence, the blonde was attempting to kick his grandpa's butt to be guildmaster earlier. The mystery fella had to stop him. But not before to Erza and Natsu to interrupt the showdown. And just to get worse, Erza saw his pretty face. And she spooked him away. Okay, not like he got scared to quit the catfight, but got gloomy for many days.
Gloomy enough to forget to get apples. Whoa, he was really out of himself...
Decided to not change his breakfast basis just for today, Mystogan put his mask and bandana on and left his house with his stomach empty.
He has no money now. Where to get apples in this season? Is plene autumn and half of the forest obviously don't give fruits in this time.
Obviously the idea of "snatching" in the market of Magnolia didn't even touch his mind. That's low, he could thought. Besides, minimize his existence in that city is all that he wants. Better say, what he needs most.
Then he remembered something: Porlyusica.
Yeah, her apples are delicious! Why not? She use to have plenty. Even few time ago he managed to get some from her and did it completely unharmed. Mystogan was almost decided to go to her place when remembered another thing:
Flashback
Porlyusica (cleaning the entrance of her house): These dimmit humans, always coming here for medical attention like I'm some miracle maker. What's next? DRUGS? CURSE'EM THEM ALL THESE HUMA...Mystogan, I know you are there. Take your fan out of my apples if you don't mind.
Mystogan (very slowly distancing his favorite staff from the box of apples): Greetings, Porlyusica-san. I would like some apples. (now slowly approaching his staff back to the box)
Porlyusica: AND LEAVING THE CORES IN THE GROUND LIKE LAST TIME? YOU ALREADY ABUSED OF MY SYMPATHY FOR EATING MY APPLES AND NOT EVEN PAYING BACK! GET LOST AND GET SOME IN YOUR OWN IN THE SAME FLEA MARKET WHERE YOU GOT YOUR PANSY PANTALOONS!
Mystogan: ¬¬...(visibly hurt by the commentary about his fashion tastes)
Porlyusica: But I knew that you aren't going to listen me anyway. So I made sure to left there the apples with worms inside.
Mystogan: OOU... (just by coincidence he made a small bite in one apple right before that and made the favor to split it out...with his mask on, of course)
Porlyusica: Ok, how disgusting.
Mystogan (turning away and in just in one second, took his mask off, put another one and turned back to the old hag): Porlyusica-san, I really do like your apples. If you allow me, please led me so...
BUUUUUUMMMMMM! (something noisy and too fast to the eye catch just through the tree in his left side, missing him for very mere centimeters.)
Mystogan: O_OU...(basically froze there)
Porlyusica (with a mini Jupiter canon that she pulled from nowhere): MAKE YOUR WAY OUT OF HERE! Unless you wanna wet your pantaloons in the second shot!
Mystogan: ¬¬..."I would, if I didn't relieve myself a bit ago in the little garden near he.."...O_OU..."oops."
And in that same instant, he turned into mist as always do to make a "fast escape".
Porlyusica:...he left too easily.
End of the flashback
Nope. Going to Porlyusica's place is completely out of the question now. Specially when in that day he heard a very loud roar sounding something like his name not very far from his place.
Mystogan sighed. There's only one option left: to go to Fairy Tail Guild.
And here ends the first chapter! Sorry for being a bit short, it was just to test. But anyway, you guys can make me suggestions like, what characters you would like to see in this story and so ;) Review please! There's are a motivation to keep writing! =D
