Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

Chapter One

"No." Natsu says firmly.

"Excuse me?" Erza questions.

"You heard me! I'm tired of you bossing me around!" Natsu shoots back. Erza looks as though she was just stabbed in the heart, although her armor would prevent someone from doing so. She snaps out of it and puts on a firm expression.

"Master Makarov is gone at a meeting and has put me in charge. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with the Master." says the red-headed knight.

"Why should I go to the Master," Natsu's hands light up in flames. "When we can settle this now?" The fire dragon slayer grins. "I call a Fairy War. Erza and I are team captains. We evenly pick teams."

"Usually I would disagree, but since the Master isn't here, you're on. Gray! You're on my team!" The ice mage grins and steps up to Erza.

"Gladly."

"Lucy!" Natsu calls.

"Why am I in this?" Lucy whines, and shuffles toward Natsu.

"Gajeel!" Gajeel pumps his fist in the air.

"I'm so glad I didn't get stuck with Natsu!" Gajeel, the iron dragon slayer, exclaims.

"Offense taken! Pantherlily!" Natsu calls.

"Hey! Wait! Pantherlily is mine by default! He's my cat!" Gajeel exclaims.

"Actually I am an exceed, and I am just fine to go with Natsu." Pantherlily says calmly.

After a while, the teams are chosen.

Natsu's team: Lucy, Pantherlily, Happy, Wendy, Macao, Laki, Gildarts, Mystogan, Romeo, Bickslow, Evergreen, and Levy

Erza's team: Gray, Gajeel, Wakaba, Laxus, Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, Juvia, Carla, Kinana, Freed, and Jet
