Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters
This takes place after the seven year skip and guild tournament but since I don't know what's going to happen so I'm not going to make any reference to it.
I'm putting Asuka in it! I'm using the romanji version of her mother name since I like it better than Asca.
The couples I'm going to use are: Gajeel and Levy, Natsu and Lucy, Gray and Juvia, Jellal and Erza, Lyon and Sherry, Loke and Aries, Alzack and Bisca, Happy and Carla, Elfman and Evergreen and Wendy and Romeo (I know there's not much hints for them but I think they look cute together). I like reviews even if it's negative but I don't like when people are spamming my stories just because you don't like the couples I use. Each chapter after this one will center on one couple I will warn state what couple is used at the beginning of the chapter.
Little Asuka didn't plan on cause her father's guild such devastation, she was just really lonely. Of course she love everyone in the guild but she just wish she had someone her age to play with. It wasn't like the times when Natsu was younger and he had tons of kids his age to play with. On top of that, her parents were gone on another mission. So it wasn't surprising when she agreed with Mirajane's plan, with the promise that she would have a lot more friends her age to play with.
"Are you lonely Asuka?" Mirajane placed a tray of eggs in front of the little girl. Her parents, Bisca and Alzack had left Asuka in the care of Mirajane while they were away on their mission.
Asuka shook her head. It was easy for everyone to fall in love with the little girl. She had a similar style as her parents, wearing western attire. She had long green hair that was pulled back in a single long braid that trailed down her back and her father's dark eyes. She wore a simple white dress that reaches her knees with sleeves that fell to her elbows. She also wore a light brown vest over and boots that her parents gave her.
"Are your parents still gone on that mission, Asuka?" Natsu walked by and pushed the cowboy hat she was wearing over her eyes. Frowning, she nodded.
"Don't worry kiddo, they'll be back soon." Natsu gave her his winning smile before going to meet his team mates.
Mirajane watch the fire dragon slayer wrap his arms around a blond woman before stealing the food off of her plate and a wonderful idea popped in her head.
"Hey Asuka, I have a wonderful plan, but I'll need your help. Will you help me? If you do then you'll have a lot of friend your age to play with."
The take over wizard smiled brightly at the little girl which made Asuka wonder. The only reason the silver haired woman would smile that big was because she had something 'wonderful' planned. Even knowing that, Asuka was lonely and wanted friends her age.
She looked up at the beautiful mage who had long silver hair, her bangs tied back and deep blue eyes. She wore a pink dress with frills and ribbon which Asuka found ridiculous. The dress fell all the way to the floor and hugged her body. Like most of the other woman at Fairy Tail, she had a body that was to be envied by other women and lusted over by men.
"I'll have friends my age?" Mira nodded at Asuka wistful question. "Okay! What will I do?"
"You can aim a gun right?"
"Yes I can! Papa took me to a fair last year and we played a game where we shot little ducky. Poppa said that I could aim as well as Momma! They said that I can learn magic in a couple years like Romeo!" The little girls beamed.
"You can learn now. I have some magic bullets and a gun, all you need to do is shot a few people."
"But won't that hurt them?" She asked concern. "I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Don't worry sweetie," Mirajane reassured her, "This will make them happier than ever!"
"Okay then." Mirajane leaned down and whispered in Asuka ear the plan. She nodded and took the gun Mirajane handed her.
Asuka climbed down from the stool and ran over to the blue exceed, Happy, and whisper the plan to him. He smiled widely and nodded, he being a romantic, would agree to it readily. He wrapped his tail around the little girl's wound, spouted wings and flew high in the air.
"Attention Fairy Tails wizard!" She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted causing everyone to look up at her. "I am your cupid!"
"Hurry up Asuka, you're heavy!" Happy wined. "I don't know how long I'll be able to hold you up."
Asuka nodded and aimed at her first victim.
She looked around and saw a head of salmon colour hair. She like Natsu, he was fun and always laughed with her. She wanted him to be happy so she aimed and shot. People shouted warning to him but he turned too late and all he saw was the smoke that exploded around him when it pierced his skin. Lucy, one of the people on his team, screamed and from there it was downhill. The other members broke out in chaos, and not the usual chaos that occur in the guild. Mirajane just smile and continue to dry the dishes.
At a table Levy was reading a rather large book. She was use to such noise at the guild so she never notices it, that fact made her a perfect target. Asuka liked Levy, she would often read to her and tell her stories about dragons, her favourite one was about the prince, cursed to be a gray dragon that saved a little princess and they fall in love. Together they broke the spell and fell in love along the way.
"Gray-sama, protect me!" A love struck voice called out to him.
Asuka thought Juvia was funny when she was around the Ice-mage that she called out to. She wanted her to have her happily ever after like in Levy's stories. Mirajane did say that whoever she shot will be her friend and experience eternal happiness called love. She aimed and shot Juvia. She looked over at the white haired man that was Mirajane brother, she like him too, so she would also him, another bullet, another victim.
"Hey," A menacing voice called out. Everyone turned to the red haired wizards that enter. "What is happening here?"
"Hi Erza!" Asuka waved to the S-class wizard, oblivious to the stern look Erza gave her. The only reason one could not be frighten by her glares were if you were if they were blind or completely oblivious.
Asuka thought Erza was much too serious, maybe if she shot her, they'll become friends and she'll be less serious. Yes, she would like someone like Erza to be her friend. She waved to Erza before shotting. Unfortunately, Erza sensed it and dodge, causing the bullet to hit Wendy. It wasn't that much of a hardship since she like Wendy as well.
"Asuka you get down from there!" A familiar voice called to her.
"Hi Poppa!" She waved happily to her father, "Mirajane told me I can be Cupid!"
"Get down from there, you'll get hurt." She could see pure terror in her mother voice so she smiled at her.
"Don't worry, Momma. Look at what I can do! I'm going to catch Erza!" She pointed at the bullet that lay on the floor. They rose up and began to glow a green colour. A ring of green symbols circle her finger, her magic flowed out her and into the bullet. The bullets fallowed the path her finger created. The five bullets flew around Erza who easily dodged them.
"Gotcha!" Erza turned to see Asuka shot another bullet, catching her in the shoulder. "Yeah I caught Erza! I'm the strongest wizard here!"
She saw the look on her mother face and knew she saw in trouble. She could get her father to forgive her if she gave him her cute face but her mother was another issue. Then an idea developed in her head, her mother couldn't possibly punish her if she the older one. She shot five shots faster than her parents thought her capable of. A poof of smoke exploded around Bisca and Asuka cheered.
"Stop moving like that!" Happy yelled at her, "I'm going to drop you!"
Happy's strength let out and Asuka slipped from his grasp. Everyone screamed raced to help her.
"I open the gate to the ram, Aries!" Lucy took out a golden and turned it so that a gate to the Spirit world open for Aries to appear in pink smoke, "Catch her Aries."
"Wool Bomb!" Aries threw a massive amount of pink wool at the area under Asuka. The little girl screamed and her grip on the gun tightens, causing it to discharge. Aries breathed in deeply when she saw the bullet come her way.
"NO!" She heard Loke's voice and felt herself being lifted, then the pressure of the bullet digging into her side.
The smoke cleared slowly. Everyone coughed, waving their hands over their face, to rid the smell of smoke. Asuka landed on the pink wool and rolled onto the floor unharmed. Her father stood over her, looking angry.
"Asuka, what did you do?"
"I made friends Poppa!" She told him with a smile, her father's one weakness beside her mother's smile that is.
"Where's Igneel?" A little voice called out. Everyone turned to see a ten year old Natsu, his clothes barely covering him.
"Natsu, you're a kid again!" Lucy knelt in front of him.
"I'm not kid old lady!" Natsu breathed out a breath of fire in her face. "Where's Igneel?"
"Wait if Natsu is like then…" Alzack looked back to where he put his wife on a chair. A little girl with light green hair chopped short. She was wearing the same clothes as his wife that was too big for the little girl. She looked at him and smile, his wife, Bisca.
"Levy's eight again!" Jet beamed, stars sparkled in his eyes, at the sight of their team mate. Tears formed in her eyes and she threw the book she was reading at him.
"Ha, she likes me better, don't you little Levy?" Droy picked her up only to be kicked in the feet.
"Scary pedo!" She cried and ran until she was hidden under a table.
"Leo…" Loke looked down to find a little Aries of age nine in his arms. He smiled softly when she snuggle closer to him and was asleep in seconds.
"What are you doing?" They turned to see Gray yell at a little Juvia. She had made a bed for herself in Gray's discarded clothes. She stuck her tongue at him and held on tighter to shirt he tried to take back.
"What a mess we have here." Mirajane walked into the center of the confusion, "I'm sure that Asuka didn't mean to cause all this trouble, now did you sweetie?"
"Nope." Asuka smiled brightly, "I just wanted friends my age."
Gray saw the smile on the two faces and wasn't convinced, "What did you do?"
"Anyone else would've done the same in m place. I made a little girl happy."
"What did you do?" Alzack repeated Gray's question in a deadly voice.
"I gave your daughter magic bullets that can turn the victim into kids." Mirajane said simply, she didn't show any sign of fears at the deadly stares she received from various guild members.
"How long will it last?" Loke's tone demanded an answer.
"I don't know."
"What?" Various voices screamed but Mirajane's smile never wavered. "It's different for everyone. It may last a few hours, or it may last a week. They may remember who they are or they may only have their memories from that age. On rare occasion, they don't have their speech, no matter their age. The only thing that is certain is that their magic is the same, except they may not have control over them."
"Do you know how to fix this?"
"Maybe, but it will take some time to remember. It may take a day, maybe two. Well at least it's a good thing Master is at his annual meeting with the other masters. Well until I remember, it will be a good idea that the victims be taken care of by members of the guild." She picked up the rather large ten year old Elf man and shoved him to Evergreen. It was either Evergreen takes him or for her to drop him, so she decided to take him. "Will you take care of my brother for me while I try to remember the spell to fix this?"
Evergreen sighed, "Fine."
"I don't need to be babysat like a child, I'm a man!" Elfman yelled, breaking free of Evergreen's grasp.
"It looks like this one has his memories." Evergreen rubbed her temple to help relieve the headache that she, and everyone else, was developing.
"What do you mean, and why are you all so tall all of a sudden?"
"It's not that we're taller, it's that you're younger big brother! Looks like I'm the older one now!" Lisanna hugged her little big brother.
"I'm still a man inside!" Elfman yelled, "A man is not measured by his physical strength!"
"That's not what you said yesterday," Lisanna teased, poking his cheek.
"I want to take care of Levy!" Jet yelled, punching Droy who was reaching under the table for her.
"She likes me better!" Droy fought back, landing a punch on Jet's stomach.
It was a natural flight or fight reaction, Levy ran from under the table and ran into a leg. She stumbled back and looked up into intimidating red eyes. The man was so tall that she almost fell backwards looking up at him. She regained her footing and raise up her arms to him. She didn't know why she trusted the scary looking man.
"What does she want?" Gajeel asked in a hard voice, looking at Mirajane for an answer.
Before Mirajane could open her mouth, Levy spoke, "Up."
Grunting her lifted her into his arms. She squealed in delight and wrapped her arms around his neck. He could feel her gaze on him like hot heat but ignored it. She seemed fascinated by his metal stubs and she poked each one then giggling in delight. She looked over her shoulder at the two angry men. She didn't like the way they were staring at her so she was even gladder that she had a dragon to protect her. He looked like the black dragon prince in her book so he must protect her!
She looked back at the two men and stuck her tongue at them. That seemed to set them off, for they started after them screaming.
It only took one hard stare from Gajeel to have them shaking in their boots.
Mirajane smiled, two down, three to go. "Looks like Gray have to take care of Juvia."
"What? Why me?" Gray demanded. As an answer, Mirajane pointed to the little girl sleeping and clutching his leg at the same time. He sighed and looked down at the little girl hugging his leg. Despite himself, Gray felt his heart swell with protectiveness. "Fine, I'll take her, but only because some other ass might take her."
He grabbed her and held her under his arms. He headed out the guild to take her back to his place; the guild was no place for a nine year old girl. He could never understand how Alzack would be willing to take his daughter to such a place.
Mirajane looked down at the white exceed chasing a five year old Wendy and called out, "Happy, why don't you help Carla take care of Wendy."
Yes, Mirajane was just so thoughtful, she never forgot to include the two exceed in her plans.
"Why would I ask for his assistance?" The white exceed asked the take over mage. "He's won't take caring for a child seriously."
"That's the point!" Mirajane beamed at the cat, making her flinch, no one dared to correct her, "A child must have balance in her life. Happy's joy and outgoingness will even out your serious yet protective nature."
Carla thought it over for a moment then reluctantly agreed. She grabbed Wendy's hand and called back to Happy, "Come on, I can't take care of her on my own. Just remember that I'm only doing this for Wendy's sake."
"Aye!" He ran to her side. "We can have fish for dinner!"
"Lucy, we'll have to nullify our contract until Aries is better." Lucy nodded and Mirajane squealed in her head at sight of them disappearing together. Fate was on her side that Aries was there. She wasn't even planning on getting the two together but this was a wonderful addition.
Mirajane knelt in front of Natsu, "I know where Igneel is."
"Really, you do!" The little boy beamed.
She nodded, "But I'll only tell you where he is if you can protect a princess. You see the blond over there; well she's a princess that we Fairy Tail wizards have to protect. I'm assigning you to be her personal guard as a mission and the reward is information about Igneel. But since this is a secret mission, you can't tell anyone about this, not even the princess, okay? You can't even call her princess, just call her Lucy/"
"Okay!" He ran to Lucy's side and took her hand, "Come on Lucy! Let's go to your pala- apartment!"
As soon as he touched her hand and started out the door, it was as if he knew where to go, as if he went to her house a thousand times. He even knew exactly how to break in and the window with the broken lock.
Mirajane's mission was not finish just yet; she still had one more person to match.
"Let's go," Alzack grabbed his daughter's hand then wife, "We're going home. Don't think you're not in trouble for this, I'm not letting you get away with turning your mother into an eleven year old girl."
"But now Momma can be my best friend!" She turned to her young mother, "Do you want to practise shooting? I have a secret training area in my backyard. Momma and Poppa don't know about it!"
Alzack had to chuckle, so that's how she get such skills with gun magic."
"Don't think you're not getting in trouble because I'm a kid again, I still precede you by six years."
"Awww." Asuka cried, "You still remember."
"Yes, I do." Then she sighed, "But I can understand why you did as you did so I guess we can spend our time playing together while your father think of a punishment."
"Okay!" Asuka giggled with glee. Both women knew it would take forever for Alzack can think of a punishment that was reasonable yet not harsh, since he love her so much and felt pressure to be a good role model for his daughter, which meant he couldn't be too easy on her.
Mirajane smiled watched the happy family leave then turned to her focus on the last couple on her agenda. Now all that was left was to wait for Jellal to arrive to talk to the master about a situation with Sting and Rouge. Or at least that was what she told him.
Well if she was going to wait for him, she might as well play with Erza for a while. She turned to see an empty guild but more importantly, no Erza! Mirajane started to panic. Everything was going so great but now one couple couldn't be completed since the girl some gone somewhere!
But there was something else that was wrong with Mirajane's plan, something she didn't consider, beside Carla, none of them had any experience taking care of a child.
Erza wondered the street. She knew something was wrong, she could remember getting hit Asuka's bullet. Did the bullet cause her to shrink, because everything seemed taller? Her armour didn't fit but luckily she still had her old armour from the time when she was little. She also braided her hair like she did when she was younger. She sighed; she decided to go to the cake store to get some strawberry cheesecake. But something in the store window caught her attention.
Her reflection! She stared at her hands then look back at her reflection. She was eleven again!
She sensed a familiar power and looked up to see Jellal! She tried to call out to him but nothing came out! She couldn't speak!
Cliffhanger! Next chap is going to be Erza and Jellal. I'm always going to have a little intro to the next chapter to lead into it and warn readers if a couple they like or don't like is next so they could skip if they wanted to.
Please Review, the honestly make my day
