Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. It belongs to the wonderful Hiro Mashima.
Valentine's Day. The only day that would make almost every Fairy Tail member hide from the guild. Or more specifically, Mirajane. Seeing how as a lot of the guild members were single, every Valentine's Day, Mirajane would try to set them up with someone. Nine out of ten times, it failed, disastrously.
Erza and Ichiya
FAIL
Natsu and Lisanna
FAIL
Loke and Random Girl #5
FAIL, Well, actually that one worked only because Loke was a player. But it failed a week later, because Loke moved on to Random Girl #6.
The point is, none of her crazy matchmaking plans ever work out. The only exception is Alzack and Bisca. Like most Fairy Tail mages, the two had been hopelessly infatuated with one other, but were both two embarrassed to do anything. So Mirajane felt like it was her absolute duty to intervene and help them get together.
At first they were frustrated that Mirajane was "helping" them by getting involved in their personal lives. And her crazy scheme of getting them together involved: a fake ex boyfriend, a blowtorch, a baby, and a hospital visit. Yeah, exactly. But in the end they turned out alright. Actually, they turned out better than that, because in four months they are going to get married.
But this Valentines Day Mirajane felt extra determined to match make and succeed, because of the bet she made earlier this month with Wabaka.
"Hey Mirajane! I have a proposition for you."
"I'm listening."
"This month you have to get all of the people on this list together."
Gajeel and Levy
Jellal and Erza
Natsu and Lucy or Natsu and Lisanna
Gray and Juvia
Elfman and Evergreen
"Sounds easy enough."
"If you succeed, then I will finally allow you to set me up with someone. But if you fail, then you must give up your match making forever." She thought about for awhile, then finally agreed.
"Also, you have to start this challenge on Valentine's Day and finish by the end of the month."
"What?! That's only 14 days! I'm a matchmaker, not a miracle worker!"
"Actually, 15 days. Leap year. But I'm since I'm so generous I'll let you choose an assistant."
"Fine, I choose Cana."
"Good luck."
She had to win that bet.
When Mirajane walked into Fairy Tail, she wasn't entirely confused on why there was next to no one at the guild today. The only people who were there are: Cana, Master Makarov, and Laxus. She was surprised that Lisanna wasn't there. Her own sister.
"Hey babe," Laxus says giving her a peck on the cheek and snapping her out of her thoughts. "So what crazy scheme do you have planned for today?"
She sighed in fake irritation, "Well, if you must know, Gale, Gruvia, Elfgreen, Nalu or Nali, I can't decide, and my all time favorite/otp, JERZA. I just love their tragic romance, like star crossed lovers." Mirajane finished with stars in her eyes.
"I didn't understand a single word that just came out of your mouth."
Mirajane rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's obliviousity. "Honestly Laxus, sometimes I don't know know how you ended up with me."
"I think the same thing everyday."
He wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her closer to him giving her a kiss on the lips. "Now I remember," She said teasingly.
"Anyways, Gale is Gajeel and Levy. Gruvia is Gray and Juvia. Elfgreen is Elfman and Evergreen. Nalu is Natsu and Lucy, and Nali is Natsu and Lisanna. Lastly, Jerza is Jellal and Erza. Thoughts, opinions, and or concerns."
Laxus thought for a moment. "Okay, Gale is the only couple that might work out." Mirajane burrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "First off, Gruvia will never work, because it's a one sided love on Juvia's side. And Gray has rejected her love attempts several times making it quite clear he's not interested in her. There's too much denial in Elfgreen on both sides. Both of them would never agree to it, because of pride. I mean Evergreen told the Thunder Legion, and I quote, that she'd rather date a rock than that white haired baka.
"I don't think Nalu of Nali would work out, because I don't think Natsu has reached that level of maturity yet. He just sees everyone as his friend. Also, Lisanna just likes him as a friend, while Lucy, has a crush on him. Jerza. Firstly, how can you match them together when Jellal isn't even here in Magnolia. If he is, he probably doesn't want to be bothered with trivial matters such as matchmaking. Second, it's painfully obvious he loves Erza and Erza loves him. But he would never admit it because of his atonement. Lastly, Jellal is a gentleman. Meaning, if he were ever to allow himself to be with her, he wouldn't want to get together this way."
Mirajane nodded in defeat and looked down while tears started to gather in her eyes. Laxus noticed this and mentally kicked him self. He wrapped his arm around her. "Don't worry Mira, despite everything I just said, I think your plan is great."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Now come here," he says pulling her in for a hug. "Go get em tiger." He says once they finish hugging. Mirajane walks over to her partner in crime, Cana, only to find her drinking, as usual.
She greeted her with a cheerful smile. "Hey Cana."
Cana looked up from her alcoholic drink and replied, "What's up Mira, are you ready to go."
Mirajane was confused. "Go where? I don't know where everyone is hiding."
A mischievous smile appeared on her drunken friend's face. "Good news. First, you're glad all of our friends are complete idiots. Second, this relates to the first one, because they're all hiding in Lucy's apartment."
"Perfect," She said with a facial expression that soon matched Cana's. "Anyways, for this years theme I'm thinking discipline. With discipline comes punishment, so if they fail to get together, punishment. We're going to need a large drawing pad, markers, and a backpack full of stuff."
.
After an hour of drawing out the plan Mirajane and Cana decided it was time to put that plan into action.
"Checklist!" Mirajane shouted. "Blind fold."
"Check."
"Chloroform."
"Check."
"Rope."
"Check."
"Drawing pad."
"Check."
"Cute outfits."
"Check."
"And dictionary."
"Check. I think we're ready to go girl." Cana said after triple checking their checklist.
Mirajane didn't care if they're plan ultimately failed. She just wants one couple to get together by the end of the night. She crossed her fingers before she exited the guild. "You know what they say, it's either now or never."
.
Now in Magnolia you see some strange people every now and then. But usually you don't see people wearing cloaks, with the hoods up inside of a diner. In a group of three in particular.
Mirajane told Cana this and they walked in the diner towards the suspicious figures. "Hello," she greeted. They stood there until one of them spoke up.
"Mira...jane?" The shortest one asked. She nodded at her in confirmation.
The figure pulled down their hood revealing a full head of bright pink hair. Meredy. She lunged forwards toward Mirajane and hugged her so hard she was gasping for breath.
"Calm down Meredy," A feminine voice said also pulling her hood down. Ultear.
Meredy loosened her grip around Mirajane a little. "Sorry, I haven't seen you in awhile." She apologizes then goes only to find a new victim. "Cana!" She yelled attacking her with love and affection.
Cana tried to pull her off, but she was no match for the freakishly strong pinkette. She finally let go when poor Cana was at the point of suffocation.
Giggling at their antics, Mirajane turned towards the third person. "When are you going to take off your hood Jellal?" She asked.
"I prefer not too."
Of course he didn't.
"Anyways we would love to catch up with you guys, but we would like to speak with Jellal outside." Cana said as innocently as she could. She didn't fool Ultear though, because since when has Cana ever been innocent. Before he could protest, Ultear pushed Jellal towards the Fairy Tail mages so they could "talk."
Ultear sent a mischievous wink towards Cana saying they could do whatever they want with him. Cana smiled and walked out the door with Mirajane and Jellal.
"Jellal we have something important to discuss with you." Mirajane said in a serious tone.
"What?" He asked in concern.
"Your relationship with Erza!" She said suddenly excited.
Mirajane didn't have to see his face to know that he was blushing like a tomato. "I think I'll pass." He tried to decline politely.
She sent a glare his way and started blinking rapidly. "Are you okay?" Jellal tried to ask her. Then he started to feel his body drifting to sleep. He collapsed into Cana's arm.
"Good job Cana." Mirajane said. Earlier, when Mirajane was telling her about the suspicious figures, she said one of them might be Jellal. If he is, then they would take him to Lucy's apartment. If he didn't want to come willingly, then they would knock him out with the chloroform they brought.
They propped him over their shoulders and started walking.
Meredy and Ultear were silently watching them from the window.
"Should we be worried?" Meredy asked
"Nah, he'll be fine. Besides, this is what he gets for not letting us interfere in his love life."
.
When the arrived at Lucy's apartment, Mirajane and Jellal and hid behind the door, while Cana went to the door prepared to knock. "Knock knock," she said banging her fist on the door.
Behind the door, she heard frantic shouting and shuffling feet. Out of nowhere a big brown eye appeared in the door's peep hole. Moments later the celestial spirit mage finally opened up the door, even though people yelling no could be heard on the other side of the door.
"Cana where have you been?" Lucy asked.
Cana smirked evilly. "Oh, I've just been hanging out with Mira."
Mirajane jumped into the door way with the same facial expression as Cana. "There you guys are! I've been looking for you all day. I can't believe you didn't invite me to the party."
Please rate and reveiw.
At first I was going to make this a two shot, but the chapters were really long and were taking longer to write than they were supposed to. This story is probably gonna be six or seven chapers long. So basically, every chapter is going to be Mirajane trying to get a couple together.
The couple in the next chapter will be...
A SURPRISE!
