Hey guys! DaughterOfIgneel here! I've had this idea in the back of my head for a while now and I finally decided to write it. This is my first fanfiction so I hope you like it! So yeah! Here it is!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail because if I did Natsu and Lucy would be an item already. ^_^
The guild silenced, as a rosy haired dragon slayer and his Exceed burst through the guild doors. Natsu stared around in confusion. The chairs had all been rearranged in loose rows with almost all of them being occupied by a Fairy Tail mage. In front of the crowd stood a short, old man and a blonde girl wearing a pretty white dress.
"Oh! First Master, you're here!" Natsu exlaimed.
Hearing her name, Mavis stopped her quiet conversation with Master Makarov and turned towards Natsu and Happy with a smile on her face. "Natsu! Happy! You're just in time! Sit down quickly!"
Natsu took the spare seat next to Gray, while Happy flew straight onto Lucy's lap. Lucy put her arms around the blue cat and leaned in front of Gray to whisper to Natsu.
"Hey Natsu! You were really lucky back there, y'know. A few minutes ago Erza said that if you weren't here soon then she'd find you herself and 'teach' you to never be late again." She said while pointing to the demonic-looking swordswoman seated next to her.
Natsu shivered. He didn't want to know what Lucy had meant by 'teach', but it probably would have included the sword that Erza was currently sharpening. He quickly tried to push all thoughts of his murder out of his head but it wasn't really working. "I'M SORRY ERZA! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" He shouted out.
"YEAH! ERZA, PLEASE DON'T HURT NATSU! THAT'S MY JOB!" Gajeel shouted back from the other side of the room.
A small gasp was heard from a short solid script mage. "Gajeel Redfox! That's not how you treat Natsu! I'm very sorry Natsu." Levy said bowing deeply to Natsu.
"I agree." Panther-Lily added, jumping onto Levy's shoulder. "Gajeel, that's no way to treat your comrade. I also apologise for his behavior Natsu."
"Aww. Metalface's too chicken to say sorry so he has to get his girl and his cat to do it for him." Natsu chuckled.
"I'm no chicken and Levy's not my girl!" Gajeel growled.
"Really?" Natsu replied, feigning surprise.
"You wanna fight, Flamebrain?" Gajeel leaped across the guild hall to smash his forehead against Natsu's.
"You betcha, Rustbucket. Bring it on." Natsu grinned, taking a step back.
Both dragon slayers breathed in deeply, preparing their breath attacks.
"Fire dragons..."
"Iron dragons..."
SLAM!
Master Makarov's, now giant, fist came down over the two fighting boys, instantly knocking them out. "When I tell you all to stop fighting, you all act like good little children and STOP FIGHTING!" Makarov screamed. When he had calmed down Master pointed to Gray. "Gray. Would you please wake the two idiots up."
"Gladly," Gray answered with a smirk. "Ice make: Hammer!" The hammer smashed against Gajeel's side, throwing him onto Natsu and waking them both immediately.
"Argh!"
"Get off me, fatty!"
"What the hell was that for, Snowglobe?" Gajeel fumed.
"I was following orders. I was told to wake you up so I did." Gray answered innocently.
"Well next time you wake us up, do it differently! It wasn't exactly the best thing in the world to wake up and find Gajeel lying on top of me." Natsu shot a disgusted face towards Gajeel then glared at Gray.
"Everyone shut up! I have an announcement to make!" Makarov declared from the front of the room.
Seats clattered for a few seconds then silenced as all the standing guild members seated themselves.
"Ok. So as you've all probably guessed already, something's going to happen in Fairy Tail," Makarov lectured. "Well, that thing is... You're all going to be shoved on an island for a month!"
"Umm Master?" Levy asked.
"Yes Levy?" Makarov smiled.
"Let me get this 're going to put us all," she motioned around her, "on an island... FOR A MONTH?!"
"Pretty much. Yeah!" He smiled.
"Don't say it like that." Mavis groaned, joining the conversation. "You're making it sound like a bad thing." She turned towards the confused and shocked crowd. "We're NOT dumping you all on an island for a month. What we're actually going to do is have a big competition!"
The guild cheered as the announcement was made.
"What kind of competition is it gonna be?" Max asked.
"Well..." Mavis paused to build up the tension in the room. "We're gonna do orienteering!"
"Aw. I thought is was gonna be more manly than that." Elfman frowned.
"I haven't finished talking yet!" Mavis said over the dissappointed sighs. "We're gonna do orienteering... Fairy Tail style!"
And so the story begins!
I wonder what's going to happen next? Is everybody going to participate? Is nobody going to participate? Are Makarov and Mavis kidding? Am I going to be lazy and take forever to make chapter 2? Will I completely forget about this story and never update it again? Will I ever stop asking questions?
Well if you want to find out, read the next chapter of 'Orienteering- Fairy Style'!
It'd make my day if you follow, favourite and/or review!
Love ya!
