~I Do Not Own Fairy Tail~
It was Levy's birthday today and everyone was celebrating, the little girl was surprised but really happy at everyone celebrating her birthday, even Laxus was sitting around watching Levy open her presents. She unwrapped the gift which was from the master and it was a book! She thanked him and turned it over to see what it was about.
"Ohh this looks really good!" she says happily, putting it down to open the rest of her gifts. They sing happy birthday to her and ate cake, eventually all the kids, Cana, Gray, Natsu, Mira, Erza, Lisanna, Elfman, Happy and Levy sit on the ground and Levy starts reading her book to them. Laxus was spread out on the ground behind her listening, he was the oldest of them and didn't really socialize with them, Mira and Erza were usually fighting but they were being good too engrossed in the book, Gray was taking a nap, his shirt gone, but everyone else even Natsu were all listening to Levy read.
The book was about a group of friend's going on adventures and getting into trouble but believing in each other and getting through it together, by the end everyone was really pumped.
"We should go on an adventure!" Natsu states.
"What do you mean?" Lisanna asks.
"Well we're all mages right? We should do a job!"
"You'd be too scared" Gray says.
"No I wouldn't!" he defends.
"Going on a job would be fun" Cana admits, drinking juice from the jug.
"I'm not sure…" Elfman hesitant.
"Come on its Levy's birthday, Levy do you want to go on an adventure?" Natsu asks, Levy bits her lip not really sure, she had to admit it could be fun.
"Yeah, I think it would be fun"
"Awesome!" Mira says.
"We have to ask the masters permission first" Erza says.
"Ask me permission for what?" the short man asks, they turn to him, Laxus by this point had tuned out and wasn't paying attention.
"We want to do a job together!" Natsu announces to the guild, most of them laugh, Macao and Wakaba mostly.
"Jeez kids" Macao says shaking his head.
"Hmm" the master thinks thoughtfully.
"Are you sure?" he asks.
"Yes!" they say even Elfman.
"Alright I'll allow it, but I chose which job and you have to take Laxus with you"
"What?!" Laxus asked confused hearing his name.
"You will be in charge" the master continues.
"You can't be serious" he says.
"I am, keep them safe, promise me boy" Laxus rolled his eyes not believing he had become straddled with babysitter duty, Natsu, Gray, Lisanna and Levy looked up at him with big eyes and he caved.
"Alright I'll do it"
"Promise me"
"I promise I'll bring them all back safe" Laxus says standing.
"Awesome a job!" Natsu exclaims.
"Isn't this cool Happy?" he says.
"Aye sir!" the cat says stretching out its little wings and flying around excitedly with Natsu.
Master Makarov picks a seemingly easy one, in a nearby town the job was catching thieves the reward was 100,000j which would give 10,000 jewels to each person including Happy. Why the cat needed 10,000j master wasn't sure but Nastu and Lisanna insisted it was fair. The group waited outside impatiently while Makarov gave Laxus a bag of jewels so they could buy two hotel rooms when they reached town, for as long as they needed to catch the thieves, also for food and other things that may come up. By the end Makarov was wondering if he really should send an adult with them.
"Relax gramps I'll watch them"
"I'm trusting you"
"I know" he says with a wave, they all wave to the guild members who saw them off and they headed into town to the train station.
"Alright everyone stick with me, do not wonder off or I will be pissed understood?" Laxus says.
"Who put him in change?" Mira grumbles to Cana who just shrugs drinking some juice from the bottle she'd brought.
Laxus realised by the time they reached the train station he needed fifteen pairs of eyes to keep track of them, Erza and Mira had started arguing, Natsu and Happy had started flying over them, Gray was unintentionally stripping and Laxus had to pick up the clothes, get him to put them back on only for him to lose them again! Cana had already run out of juice and was really upset so Laxus bought her more, Levy, Lisanna and Elfman were the only ones being good. Levy stayed by his side and Elfman carried Lisanna on his shoulders. Finally getting them to sit still, he bought their tickets and ushered them onto the train, getting a compartment they all squished into, Laxus by the window, Levy beside him, Natsu and then Erza, Natsu instantly felt motion sickness so he was finally quiet laying in Levy's lap. Happy was napping in the racks above them, Gray, Mira, Elfman, Lisanna and Cana sat on the other side, after a while they all settled down, since it would be a couple of hours to their stop they ended up all falling asleep, Levy resting her head on Laxus, Nastu asleep on her and Erza against the other wall, on the other seat the domino effect had occurred leaving Gray against the wall, shirtless but asleep, Laxus shook his head he wasn't cut out for babysitting and took the chance to have a nap himself.
Hope you enjoyed, review what you've thought and look out for the next chapter!
