It was supposed to be a normal Friday afternoon in Fairytail. Elfman was supposed to give a speech about being a man, Natsu, Gajeel and Gray would try and start a fight with Juvia cheering for Gray, Lucy was supposed to talk to Levy about the novel that she was writing and Erza was supposed to stop the fight that erupted in the guild. Too bad it wasn't a normal Friday. No, Fate has a different plan.
Juvia had just finished a job, and was headed back to her guild. Living in Fairy Hills was sometimes a pain in the butt for Juvia. She took a job that required her having to go to a small village to catch a bandit that kept stealing and destroying the defenseless village. It took Juvia, at least a week to spot the bandit as he was very fast. The bandit was stronger than Juvia had expected, but he was not strong enough to defeat the water mage. She had gotten 6,000,000 jewels which was enough as she had saved some money the past few weeks.
Juvia walked in the guild and was immediately greeted by some of her comrades. She walked to the bar to chat with Mirajane when she heard a loud voice that was all too familiar to the guild.
"WE'RE HOME!" Natsu yelled, walking inside the slowly growing guild. Two months after the Grand Magic Tournament, Fairytail had made a name for themselves once again, and was slowly growing, gaining at least a member or two each day. They had gained the popularity that they lost in just a few months. The citizens of Magnolia had trusted them more and were giving them more and more jobs.
Natsu was quickly followed by Happy, Lucy and Gray. Makarov had given Erza a 10 year job, which she decided to do alone, not wanting to risk putting her team in danger, Natsu and Gray had protested against it, but was quickly ignored.
Gray had made a comment about Natsu being too loud, and the duo quickly got into an argument which erupted in a fight. Lucy had decided to sit beside Juvia who was mentally cheering Gray on. Levy, who carefully avoided the fight between the guild, made her way to the bar and sat beside Lucy. The girls had a conversation going, Juvia half listening as she wanted to cheer Gray on. Juvia's attention was suddenly caught as Mirajane told the girl about her new hobby.
"While Lucy and Juvia were on a mission, I took on a small hobby. I've been mixing and matching drinks and potions. Would you girls want to try some?" Mirajane asked smiling. Levy gulped and was about to refuse but was beaten by Lucy.
"That's so cool! I won't mind tasting some actually" Lucy said.
"Juvia won't mind either"
Levy, who did not want to be rude, just nodded. Mirajane clapped and started to pour liquid on a pitcher. Levy grew more nervous as Mira slowly added different kinds of potions and drinks in the pitcher.
"Lu-chan, Juvia-chan, I don't think this is good. You see…" Levy was interrupted when Mira place cups in front of the three girls. She poured the content on the pitcher to the cups. Juvia felt scared as the liquid was dark purple and was slightly bubbling. The three girls looked at each other nervously and slowly brought the cups to their lips and drank of some of the scary looking liquid.
"This isn't so bad, Mira!" Lucy complimented.
"Juvia really likes it, it's not too sweet"
"Yeah! You're getting better at this Mira-san" Levy said, taking another sip.
Mira smiled and was suddenly called by another member of the guild. She excused herself and headed to get what the man wanted.
"I was scared at first. Mira-san's drinks usually aren't this great" Levy explained.
"It's better than Juvia thought" Juvia said taking another sip of the sweet drink.
"This is the best drink I've…" Lucy was interrupted with a small 'pop'. The fight between the guild was stopped when they heard the pop. They all looked at the direction of the sound simultaneously. They were confused at the sight of three four year olds, who looked so much like their comrades, sitting on a chair by the bar.
"Oh no! What have I done?" Mira covered her face. The three little girls looked at the crying woman confused. Juvia looked around the guild, she had her clothes surrounding her, as the dress she had worn no longer fits her. Her big innocent eyes landed on Gray, her face brightened as she started to giggle uncontrollably, trying to reach out to him.
"What is going on here?" Makarov came in to see that his guild was quiet. He was confused to see that his usual wild noisy guild was quiet, Mira was crying, but what confused him more was the three little girls that somehow looked familiar. It did not take him long to know what had happened before he came in. Makarov suddenly felt pain in his temples as he slowly massaged it. He sat down, trying to figure out what they should do about their babyfied friends.
"Aww, look at Baby Juvia!" Cana said poking the blue haired baby on the cheek. Juvia giggled and grabbed Cana's hand, she started to say Cana's name happily.
"Levy-chan is so cute! Levy-chan's always cute though" Jet said, shaking the little girl's hand. Levy looked at them with her big brown eyes that held fascination.
"What's that? Is that a crown?" Levy asked pointing at Jet's spiky ponytail. Droy held back his laughter, but the rest of the guild did not hold back and started laughing.
Natsu picked Baby Lucy up, he looked at her with interest. Lucy just stared back. Natsu started to look closer and closer, which Lucy thought was uncomfortable. Lucy's instinct was to cry, so cry, she did. Natsu freaked out not knowing what to do.
"Happy! Make her stop!" Natsu said, he started to look around for help, but everyone refused to help him. He started to cry, anime tears, making Lucy stop. Lucy looked at the crying dragon slayer. She was still being carried by the pink haired man, so she decided to pat his head.
Juvia was now being tickled by Cana. Cana stopped and held Juvia in her arms. Juvia looked around the guild and once again spotted Gray. She smiled at him and spread her arms, wanting the Ice-Mage to hold her. Gray looked confused. Cana smirked. She started to make her way to the Ice-Mage who was telling her not to.
"Cana, I don't know how to hold a kid. Get Back!" Gray warned.
"Don't worry, it's not that hard. Besides, I think Baby Juvia here likes you" Cana said, emphasizing on the 'like'. She carefully handed Gray the giggling Juvia. He awkwardly held the little girl in his arms. Juvia had her little arms around his neck, her head resting on his shoulder. Gray did not move. It was the first time he held a kid. He was afraid that if he moved, he might crush the little girl. The guild whispered amongst each other, lightly teasing the ice mage about how he actually liked having little Juvia in his arms.
Gray ignored the guild. He was surprised to hear light snoring coming from his left side, where Juvia rested her head. His eyes softened slightly at the sight. He never told anybody this, but he has a soft spot for kids. His attention was switched to his master who finally came up with a plan.
"I have seen this spell before, it will wear off in a week or maybe a month" Questions were heard amongst the guild, who will take care of them? What would happen if they aren't back in a month? Makarov managed to quiet the guild down.
"Gray, you will take care of Juvia, as she already took a liking to you" Gray was about to protest when Makarov started to talk once again, "Natsu shall take care of Lucy, you guys are a team after all" Natsu looked at little Lucy who was smiling at him, Makarov paused looking around the guild, "Gajeel shall take care of Lev" Gajeel interrupted him, asking him why he had to take care of the 'Little Nerd'.
"This is an opportunity for you to prove yourself to the others that you are trust worthy" Gajeel grumbled, looking at the blunette who was walking towards him.
"Why are you wearing a dress?" Levy asked. A vein popped out of Gajeel's head as he tried to control his anger. This is going to be a long week.
