The Frizzled Writer
(A I.-.-.I Kuroyagi I.-.-.I original fan-fiction story.)
Prologue
Well, hello my fellow readers and writers! If you're here then that means that you're curious as to what I'm writing now or just plain bored and wanting to get a good laugh like only I can give you. As you see, this new project of mine is called "The frizzled writer", why's that you ask? But of course! It is because I'm seriously frizzling with all that it's happening inside this little corner of less than 4k stories that it is the Fairy Tail archive.
So many stories, so much romance, so much action! So times I found an angst story and I feel like my day has been completed but that's where everything ends. There's a lot of romance, yes, and that should be enough for anyone but… what about the sad stories, my friends? I know that everyone wants a good laugh once in a while at reading because his or hers life sucks… pardon me; I know than that's not the case for everyone… but please! Never read a sad story, depressed yourself at finding it curiously equal to something that happened to you, to later read a happy story and laugh to your heart's content?
I did. That's one of the reasons of WHY I write sad stories! When I read someone else's happy story I feel the world equal and normal… no mishaps nor anything, just plain normal, as it should be. Painting the world a romance-bunny-filled one would not make anyone better… it will deceive them and left their guard down to the uncertainties of life.
And…
"Are you going to introduce us or what?" Asked a pink-haired boy with arms crossed, an impatient look on his face and his foot tapping the floor impatiently.
I'm getting to that! Just give me a minute!
"You're boring me! And the people reading!" He said gazing at the people on the other side of the screen.
Okay, you might be right there, but… without the whole speech, how do you want me to introduce this?
"Just use the last lines to make a point!" A blue-haired girl screamed flustered, waving her arms frantically in the air.
Well… let me skip my mental speech…
"You didn't write down anything from it?" A black haired woman asked slightly annoyed at the writer's clumsiness. "So unprofessional."
Hey! Give me a break! *coughs* Here, the last lines says:
So, as to break this monotone cycle of rehashed stories, I –Kuroyagi- will write stories about each scenario with the couple I like the most in revenge. Making you realize how short of ideas you really are before throwing in my own ideas. There! Happy?
"Aye?" A blue cat appeared out of nowhere at the mention of his name. "What's happening?"
I didn't call you! I was stating my anger towards those annoying characters!
"Tch, you're a lousy writer." A stripped down man said while crossing his arms and sitting lazily on a chair, as the cat flew to mourn on a corner with a depressed aura.
And you're naked, but that's beside the point! I'm here with you gathered to write the first chapter of this story that it's centered about Romantic Reunions!
"R-romantic r-reunions?" A scarlet-haired woman asked shakily as her mind fumbled with thoughts about what I was going to write.
Yes, romantic reunions… and since I'm feeling good today, I'll start this first chapter with something that many of you already saw; the reunion of Jellal and Erza after the seven years' time-skip.
"You're not thinking about the readers there!" A blonde girl with revealing body-tight clothes screamed frustrated next to the blue-haired girl from before. "You've gotta give them something new!"
New? New as what? I can't create a scene out of nowhere, you know?
"You seriously are a lousy writer." The stripped down man said again at hearing my words.
Okay! You want a reunion? Fine!
Word! Keyboard! Start with it!
It was a fine day for everyone in Magnolia town, the sun shined uninterrupted over the walking citizens of the quiet and commercial village while the only and official guild of the town let them know that their shenanigans were still first order business of the day.
"Repeat what you said, ice pick!" A pink-haired boy yelled in midst of the huge fighting inside the guild's hall to a black-haired boy, who surprisingly, was missing his clothes.
"What you heard, broken match!" The other answered angrily, sending a fist to his opponent and finding it being avoided with little effort; both fighters glaring at each other fiercely. "You're not better than me at fighting!"
"Shut up, ice cube!" The guy known as broken match charged at ice cube with his fist in flames but was interrupted when a table was thrown on his direction. The black-haired boy laughed mockingly for his bad luck but was cut short when a chair hit him on the head and left him unconscious next to broken match, who was laughing victorious at the state of his adversary. "Told you I'm better, Gray!"
The man now known as Gray didn't move or made any signs of acknowledging his words, he remained knocked out on the wooden floor as the pink-haired rose from under the table and jumped to continue with the fight going on inside the guild. That is, until the door opened and a fearsome figure made its entrance, making everyone but the pink-haired boy stop their meaningless fighting. The boy hit a white-haired tall man on the face and made him clashed against a pillar unconscious, cheering for taking down one opponent, unaware of the impending doom that was walking on his direction.
"Yeah! I won, Elfman!" He yelled while pointing at the beaten man victoriously, not noticing a figure looming behind him; the others sweatdropped as they knew his luck wasn't the best of all. "Who's the man now, huh! ?"
"Natsu." The figure said dangerously, making the pink-haired boy freeze on the spot and turned around slowly to witness a scarlet-haired demon surrounded by a dark purple aura glaring daggers at him with bright red eyes. He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and backed away slowly.
"E-erza! I was just…!" He ran next to Elfman and swung his shoulder across the unconscious man's back, smiling nervously as he tried to come up with an explanation. "I was just teaching Elfman to take a nap!"
"NATSU!" The feral growl was heard in other towns, and it even made birds fly away in fear, the pink-haired boy paled as he was now backing away from the demon with hands raised defensively.
"W-wait! E-erza! I can explain!" His words fell on deaf ears as the demon called Erza summoned a sword from thin air and pointed it at his throat, pinning him against the wall where his retreat drove him to.
"I go out for a mission just for two days, TWO DAYS! And this is what happens?" She said to him and everyone else inside the room, making them flinch at the edge of her voice. She was seriously mad. "The guild is half destroyed, most of its members are fighting against each other and you, one of them that should be making an example to follow, knock your fellow unconscious! What is YOUR explanation! ?"
"I… I…" The poor kid, named Natsu, struggled to find the words that could get him out of his predicament but failed at every attempt his mind did; thus making her more upset, her anger now making her look three times her size.
"Wait a minute!" The demonic Erz… "Stop that!"
Now what! ?
"Didn't you say that this story was about romantic reunions?" She asked assertively, cutting the act of her punishing-demonic self.
Uh… well… about that…
"Where's the romance here?" She asked with a disapproving look.
"Yeah! And why must it always be me being punish?" The dragon-slayer said, standing from his position on the floor, the sword still pointing at his throat.
Uh…
"You haven't thought about that, didn't you?" Erza said knowingly, nodding to herself when I failed to find words that could contradict her. She exited the guild, much to everyone's surprise, and came back with five books on one hand. She extended the books to me and motioned for me to grab them. "Read this, it'll give you an idea or two."
Looking incredulous at her, I nodded dumbly and grabbed the books from her, letting out a pained grunt at the weight of them when one hand wasn't enough to support them. She seriously walked from her apartment to the guild with just one hand holding them? Never mind that, I started to read the books.
Five hours later…
"So?" Erza asked me as she finished with her tea, giving a last bite to her cheesecake before looking in my direction.
I… I don't know what to say! This… where did you get this?
"I found them on the street." Everyone gasped and gaped surprised at her for finding such thing lying on the street, but the blue-haired petit girl standing a few feet away knew better, and because she knew better, she remained quiet.
Let me start again, please, Erza-nee-sama.
"Of course." Everyone sweatdropped at the honorific and the calm response from her, but shrugged them off when she sent a glare in their direction.
Let's start again then!
Everyone! To your positions! Let's give a good show!
"Aye sir!"
To be continued
And Erza saves the day! Once more... u_u
Okay, I've realized my mistake earlier, so next chapter will be the complete version of "Romantic Reunions".
This isn't just a new story, this a counter-strike! XD
Saludos!
