I am going to tell you the truth. When my friend recommended Fairy Tail to me a long time ago, I was skeptical. I originally thought it was a manga/anime that revolved around fairy tales. See what I did wrong? Yeah. Now I am looking into my weird Fairy Tail-less days and what I thought when I first heard of it. Then it hit me. What if Fairy Tail fucking fought fairy tale characters? That would be awesome. So without further adieu, I present my story A Fairy Tale kind of Fairy Tail.
Why of all days did the sky feel the need to piss off the wind? Why! My hair blew in my face continuously, causing my blonde hair to be dyed with pink ends. My skirt, that I stupidly chose to wear, had already pleased a few pervs with its decision to flip up and show my underwear. I walked all the way to the one place I could feel at home-not at peace-but at home. My guild, Fairy Tail. The best guild in Fiore-although others may disagree.
I pushed the wooden doors open and walked to the bar. "Hey Mira," I said, as I sat down. She was quiet. She just smiled. Actually, now that I realized it-the guild was quiet. This NEVER happens, unless something is wrong. "Mira, is something wrong?" I asked the white-haired bartender. She shook her head. Then I heard a laugh all too familiar. "What's so funny?" I asked, turning around to see the whole guild stifling laughs. "Nothing," the culprit lied. I squinted at him. "Lucy, what's up with your hair, new do?" a certain blue exceed asked, causing the whole guild to burst into tears of laughter. I turned around to Mira, who held a mirror up for me. I stared in shock.
The cursed wind tangled my hair, causing it to go everywhere. This way. That way. I screamed. "Lucy, it's not that bad," Mira said, trying to comfort me while holding back her own laughs. I stood up and took a deep breath. I turned to the two culprits. "You two have 5 seconds to run," I said. They stopped laughing. Both of them gulped. "L-Luce?" Natsu asked. I repeated myself. "Will a fish make it better?" Happy asked, placing a rotten fish on my head. Both of them started laughing, along with the guild. "That's it, you're dead cat!" I yelled grabbing Happy and pulling at his furry face. "Lucy, it was all Natsu's fault!" the blue exceed pleaded. I turned dead to Natsu. "Hey, I'm not the wind, don't blame me," he said. "Natsu! Stop being a bad boyfriend!" Happy yelled. I pulled both of them by their hair. I pulled their ears to my mouth. "Listen here, you'll take me home to let me fix my hair, got it?" I told them. They both nodded awkwardly and I dropped them. They got up and walked out the door. "We'll be right back!" I yelled to the quiet guild. I heard Gray's voice say, "Damn; but I told Natsu Lucy was scary." After that all I heard was drinks clashing and heads bashing.
"Sorry about that guys," I apologized. Natsu said, "Nah, it's no big deal, it's not like we died or anything." "Except on the inside," Happy added for him. "Oh did I mentally scar you?" I asked sarcastically. "Actually, yes!" Happy replied, in an over-dramatic voice. "Oh stop complaining!" I said.
We arrived at my apartment and as usual Natsu doesn't know how to use a door. I sighed and walked into my apartment the normal way. I told them, "Don't touch anything, and I'll buy you something at our next mission." "Fish?" Happy asked. "Food!" Natsu said. "Are those the only things that run through your mind all day?" I questioned them. Walking into the bathroom, I already heard a crash. I heard them scurrying to fix whatever they dropped. Can't trust them to not break anything. I laughed. Wait, yesterday I just got a vase from a mission we went on. It's worth more than 500,000J!
I burst through my door and looked at them. They looked at me. I looked over to where I placed the vase. It was there and unbroken. I sighed. "So what fell?" I asked. "Nothing but your purse, by the way what is in here?" he said grabbing my brown satchel and pulling it up and down. "Bricks, now put it down," I said. "Weirdo," he said putting the satchel on the floor. I rolled my eyes and walked back into the bathroom.
After my shower, I quickly dressed into some new clothes that wouldn't flare up and show everything. I walked out of the bathroom and Natsu and Happy were asleep on my bed. I laughed. They are really cute when they are sleeping. I poked both of them in their cheeks. Natsu moaned and got up. "Ready for a mission?" he asked pulling a flyer out of his pocket. "This is an S-class mission and after the last one we had went on, I don't trust going on one with only you and Happy," I said. "Then let's go ask Ice Prince to come with us," he suggested. "What about Erza?" I asked. He gulped. "Why her?" he whined. "Oh I don't know, maybe 'cause she's an S-class," I said with a duh tone. "Ugh, fine," he sighed. He and Happy proceeded to leave-via window. "Why can't you just use the door like a normal person?" I said to myself.
Walking into the guild, I went to go ask Erza about the mission. "Sure, it will be great practice for even greater quests!" she said with a booming voice. "Gray, are you coming?" Erza asked the half naked ice mage. "Yeah, I have nothing else to do," he sighed. "So helping us is just a sorry mission for you?" Natsu yelled. "Anything involving you is sorry," Gray retorted. "You wanna go?" Natsu yelled as he stood on the bench. Gray stood on the table and threw the first punch. Erza pulled a sword from her extravagant magic collection and hit them both on the head. "Stop it you two!" she scolded them. "I didn't get to even get a hit," Natsu whined, rubbing his head.
"If Gray-sama is going, so is Juvia!" Juvia cooed, cuddling next to him. His reaction was as usual-somewhat disgust. "Gajeel-kun do you want to accompany us?" Juvia asked the man with iron in his teeth. "Sure," he shrugged. "You know you don't have to go, right?" Natsu said. "You got a problem with that Salamander?" Gajeel asked. Natsu got in his face and said, "Yeah. If you don't care, don't come." "Fine, then I won't come!" Gajeel yelled back. The two started yelling insults at one another. It wasn't long before they started a scuffle. Soon enough, Gray and Erza joined. Not even 5 minutes passed before the whole guild was fighting, drinking, and yelling.
I sighed and walked to Mira. "You okay?" she asked. "Yeah, but I want to get the whole team arranged so that everyone knows how we are getting there and when," I explained to her. "Especially to Natsu, seems we are riding the train to get to the place." "Aww, you really care don't you?" Mira teased. I waved my hands, "Not like that Mira!" She giggled. Cana came behind me and started playing with my breasts. "Aww come on, you're telling me you and Natsu don't do things like this?" she teased. My face turned red. "Of course not!" She stopped and laughed. She grabbed her beer and sat down. I sighed and decided to stop the fight.
"Everyone, STOP!" I yelled. The fighting stopped and everyone stared at me. "I just need to know who is coming on the mission with me, Natsu, and Happy?" I told them. Erza said, "I will be there to help you." Gray and Juvia said the same thing. Gajeel grunted and Lily confirmed they would go. "Hey Wendy, do you want to come with us?" I asked the young mage. She quietly nodded. I smiled. "Levy, you coming?" I asked my best friend. "Sure, I looked up the place you are going and they have one of the best libraries in the area." I giggled. She is such a bookworm, but then again so am I. "Great, so we need to meet up at Magnolia Train Station," I told everyone. Natsu groaned. "Whyyyyy?" he asked. "Unless you want to walk all the way to the village then be my guest," I replied. "Happy can fly me," he said with certainty.
"No way, lately you've been eating like Lucy does, and we all know she's like an elephant," Happy complained. "Do you want to create a fur coat out of your skin?" I threatened. "At best you can make a pair of socks out of him," Levy said. We both had murder in our eyes. "Natsu don't let them hurt me," the exceed said, running behind him. "That depends, will you fly me there?" Natsu asked. "No way Natsu!" Happy said. Natsu handed Happy to me, as if for sacrifice. Happy jumped out of my arms and behind Wendy. "Charle!" he cried. "Stupid tom cat, you got yourself into this one," Charle laughed. Happy stepped from behind Wendy and pulled out a fish. "Will a fish make it better?" he whimpered. I laughed and crouched. I smiled and said, "It's ok." I rubbed his head and he purred.
I stood up and waved bye to everyone "See you guys tomorrow."
I was waiting at Magnolia Train Station for everyone. After a while I saw Gray, Juvia, and Gajeel walking towards me. "Where is everyone?" Gary asked. "I don't know," I told him. Erza was the next to arrive along with Levy, Jet, and Droy. "Hey Lu-chan!" Levy greeted me. "Where's Natsu?" "I don't know but he needs to get here in like 10 minutes," I said. The train arrived just a moment later. We all boarded the train.
After 5 minutes the train conductor announced the train is going to move in the next 5 minutes. "Natsu, come on and hurry up," I said to myself. As if on cue Natsu and Happy ran on the train and sat in the seat in front of me. "What took you two so long?" I asked them. "Natsu overslept," Happy reported. "It was an accident I swear," Natsu said. "It's okay, all that matters is that you made it," I sighed. "Aww, so romantic, like a play of a waiting princess and her late prince," Erza cooed. "Erza!" Levy laughed. She whispered in my ear," Wow, even Erza sees you are destined for one another." "I hate you," I whispered back. Levy laughed and pulled out a couple of books for her to read.
"So what's this mission about Bunny girl?" Gajeel asked me. "Apparently children in the town have been going missing," I explained. "So, that happens," Gajeel said. "Yes, but the thing is is that their village magician feels a strong sense of magic each time a child disappears," I continued. "Also there has been no clues to lead to where or how the children are going missing." "They said that there is a dark guild two towns over, so they think they could be causing this." "Why children though?" Erza questioned. I looked at Wendy who was uneasy. I put a my hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, no way we'll let anybody or thing take you." "Thanks Lucy," she smiled.
I didn't even realize the train had started moving until Natsu got up to get some fresh air. "Poor Natsu," I said.
After half an hour the train stopped at the city near the village we were headed to.
Wow this city is big. "Where are we anyway?" Gray asked. "The city of Poppy," Levy replied. "This city is one of the most beautiful in all of Fiore." "Their most popular tourist attraction are The Gardens." "Lush meadows of poppies and beautiful rivers that flow all throughout it." "Actually, the village we're visiting is at the corner of The Gardens." "So how are we getting there?" Natsu asked, clearly scared of my answer. "We'll have to travel in coaches," I broke to him. He groaned and held his stomach. "Can we eat first, you promised, remember?" "Ugh, fine," I sighed, "But after that we need to head to the village." He nodded happily.
We stopped in front of the first restaurant we could find. Erza had to leave all of her stuff outside, but considering the size, there was no chance of anyone trying to steal her stuff. Upon walking in, sweet aromas of all sorts of foods filled my senses. "I can smell the fish!" Happy said ecstatically. "Come on Happy, clearly it's chicken," Natsu argued. "Your nose must be off, 'cause I smell fish," Happy rebutted. "I am a dragon slayer! My nose is always on point!" Natsu continued. "Cats clearly have better noses then," Happy finished. "Both of you shut up," I said. They both slid into a booth, and I followed.
"Hey Levy, where are you going?" I asked. Levy was one step out the door as she turned around. "I'm not really hungry, so I thought I would go sightseeing," she replied, leaving the restaurant. Lily walked out after her. I assume he going to keep her company. I looked over to the other booth to Gajeel who was having a really intense argument with a complete stranger. Leave it to Gajeel to argue with a complete stranger.
A waitress came over to my table and asked what we wanted. "Natsu, don't order too much. I'm paying for this remember?" I told him. He nodded and turned to the waitress. "I'll have one of everything, and some water," Natsu said. "Water seriously?" I questioned, not even paying attention to how much money it would cost me to pay for this. "What, I don't wanna get fat," he explained. "Like you," Happy said. "I will kill you exceed!" I threatened. I looked across the table and asked Wendy and Carla what they wanted. They both ordered light meals, unlike Natsu who is trying to run me dry. "I want two fish please," Happy told the waitress. "And you miss?" the waitress asked me. "I'll take some soup, if that's alright," I told her. She nodded and left. "You should've ordered the salad," Happy said. Three times in one day exceed-that has to be a record. "I. Will. Hurt. You." I said in pause sequences. "Hope you can pay for your own meal Happy," I smirked. "You promised, so I don't have to pay for anything," he reminded me. I groaned. You are so lucky that's true.
It took the waitress 13 times of going in and out the kitchen to give Natsu all of the food he ordered. Just Natsu! He-being Natsu-started eating immediately, and as manner less as usual. "Natsu, are you sure you don't want to slow down?" I cautioned him. He ignored me and continued eating. I sighed. After everyone finished I looked at my bill. Apparently I was paying for everyone. I would've been fine with that if Natsu hadn't eaten one of everything. I have to admit that this is less than what Natsu's capable of eating but still-why! I nearly cried as I handed the waitress the payment and a tip for her services.
I walked outside and told Natsu I was never paying for another meal for him ever again. "Dang it. I forgot to ask Levy where she went." I cursed myself. "She went towards that direction," Natsu said pointing northward. "She's not that far. We can travel by foot," Natsu said. I kind of doubted how truly "close" it was, but just followed him. "Don't listen to salamander. It will take us a day's trek to get to Pipsqueak's location," Gajeel objected. "No it won't," Natsu said, getting into Gajeel's face. "Yes it will." They bickered back and forth for a while until Erza told them-more like demanded-to stop. "We will go by coach, and Natsu you are welcome to walk," she settled.
After finding a renter's place, Erza attached the power bracelet to her wrist and told everyone to get in. "Erza are you sure you want to drive?" I asked. I meant "Are you sure you should drive; you aren't exactly the best driver." But would I be dumb enough to say that to her face? Erza insisted and waited for Natsu to get inside the vehicle. He sighed and got inside. He was already sick, and we haven't even moved yet. "Erza could you go a bit slow, or I might throw up," Natsu asked. "No can do Natsu, we must get to Levy's location with god speed," she said, starting the ignition. I gulped. She's a maniac when it comes to driving. It's to the point where everyone is as sick as Natsu.
Erza sped with the god speed she referred to. We went to Levy's location and found she was already in the village. Natsu, of course, was the first to get out of the vehicle. Everyone grabbed their luggage and greeted the townsfolk.
I walked towards Levy and Lily who were talking to someone who I think was the chief. "Hello, I'm Lucy," I introduced myself. "Hello, I'm Augustine," a little girl said. "My grandfather-the chief- does not speak this language, so I translate for him," she explained, smiling. "Welcome to our village." I smiled. "Albert!" she yelled. A little boy, who couldn't be more than Wendy's age, ran over. "What is it?" he asked annoyed. "These are the people who are going to help us find our brother and the other kids," she said, gesturing towards me, Lily, and Levy. "Show them to their quarters," Augustine commanded. Albert told us to follow him to a large building.
Inside, there were beds aligned to the wall and a door that I assumed was a bathroom. "By the way, that door over there," Albert said, pointing to the door, "Is not a bathroom. It's just another door to leave the building." "If you wish to take a shower or something, there is a girls' and there is a boys' bath hall in another building. Don't worry it has a sign on it, so you'll know where you can find out." I smiled and thanked him. He went on his way and I plopped down on one of the beds.
"So Levy, have you talked to their magician yet?" I asked her. "Yeah, but he isn't as strong as I assumed," she said. "He has low magic ability, but still told me about the dark guild," Levy said. "Apparently, the village had a monster problem and called the closest magician guild, and that was the dark guild." "Weirdly, they were easily cooperative and sent one of their magicians to help them, and they paid him what he was owed." I was a bit confused. "The thing is, they paid him in poppies and clovers, but if you go out of this region, these particular poppies and clovers are worth over 300 million J per plant." I was silently in awe. "Here, they are worth around 5 J," Levy shrugged. "Why can't they just go out of the region and sell? Dark guilds do things like that all the time," I said. "Yeah, but usually it's illegal items they're selling," Levy said. "What's the guild's name anyway?" I asked. "Grimmtale," Levy told me. "What was the magician's name?" I asked. "They don't know," Levy said. Dang it. "Let's go talk to the others," I said. "Hey Lily, are you coming?" Levy asked, but the black exceed was already asleep. We both giggled and went outside.
We went to the middle of the village and a roaring fire pit was burning. "Natsu, you idiot, don't do that!" I heard Gray yell. As we got closer and closer we saw Natsu dressed like one of the village men, and he was dancing like the idiot he is. He was singing something too. "Da da, ba ra da, da da da,DA!" He was shaking his hips and making a serious but stupid face. All of the children were laughing and dancing with him. Levy laughed, and I just groaned. "Gray-sama, why don't you dance?" Juvia asked the ice mage. "I'm not embarrassing myself like that thing is!" he said. "Who are you calling a thing?" Natsu asked. "You, you idiot," Gray said. They got into each others faces. A little boy went up to them and looked at them confused. "Are you two gonna kiss?" he asked. Everyone started laughing as Natsu and Gray ripped apart from each other. "Gray-sama would never kiss anyone apart Juvia!" Juvia defended, while suffocating the mage in her hug. "Wait you two started dating?" Erza asked. Gray tried to move his head to say no, but Juvia kept him in a tight hold. Dang that girl is strong. Happy flew over them and said, "When's the wedding?" "Wedding?" Erza said as her eyes started sparkling.
"Did someone say wedding?" Augustine asked. "Here in Poppy, weddings are very special occasions." "The place they're held at is so important that most of the wedding's planning is the place only." "If you have a wedding, you could do it here in our village," another girl said. "You're right Evelyn. This is considered the most beautiful place in Poppy," Augustine said. Gray managed to get loose and inform there was no wedding and that they weren't dating. It disappointed a lot of people, especially the children. I kind of felt bad. Clearly they were looking forward to one. "What if we have a mock wedding?" I suggested. "Really?" Evelyn asked in awe. "Yeah. Levy and Gajeel could get fake married," I suggested, curling my mouth into an evil smirk. Both Levy and Gajeel looked stunned. "Huh, I would've thought you would want you and Salamander to fake marry," Gajeel said. "I feel you and Levy would look so much ore romantic," I said. "But you and Natsu are best friends for life, soulmates if you please," Levy smirked. "What about a double fake wedding?" Augustine suggested. We both turned to the girl. "What about a triple wedding?" Juvia asked. "You and who?" Gray asked stupidly. It didn't take someone with common sense to know who she was talking about. "Or what about no wedding at all?" Charle suggested. "Yeah, maybe another time kids," I smiled. "Ok," they said disappointed.
Levy whispered in my ear," I would've thought you and Natsu would get married at least for fake?" "But you and Gajeel have been the image of a perfect couple," I whispered back. "Seriously?" she said, with a blank expression. "Come on, you know you want to," I teased. She turned red and frowned her face. She walked away and I smiled triumphantly.
