Fairy Tail Tuesdays
By OblivionRose
Note: This is a series of continuous one-shots (meaning some may reference to events that happened in previous chapters). Each chapter will tell of a classic fairy tale/folktale narrated (and acted out) by the Fairy Tail guild members. My OTP pairings are NatsuxLucy, ErzaxJellal, JuviaxGray, GajeelxLevy, RomeoxWendy BUT I may have chapters that are NatsuxLisanna, LokexLucy, JuviaxLyon etc. depending on which couple might fit that story. This is POST time skip, so if you are not caught up with the manga/anime there may be some spoilers for you. This idea came to mind when I read the special Omake "Happy in Boots" which is a parody of the tale "Puss in Boots." You may notice that BECAUSE these stories are being told by the guild members that they may not necessarily follow the same story line or ending as the classic tale.
Rated T for some language.
Disclaimer: And of course, I DON'T own Fairy Tail. I'm not enough of an awesome troll as Hiro Mashima to create such a beautiful story line with great characters as these.
Enough blabber! Please enjoy this fun fic I came up with!
~Prologue~
It was another boisterous day at the Fairy Tail guild. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their time there eating, laughing, and arguing like the family they were. A large man with animal skin clothing stood by the request board seeming to stare intently at each job posted. Within a moment the man was sent flying as a person landed on top of him.
"Gyahahaha! Maybe you can help Nab pick out a job while you're over there!" A pink-haired mage taunted the black-haired man who now dusted himself off and threw off his jacket in the process, leaving an unconscious Nab on the floor.
"Psh… You call that a hit, Flame Brain? I'm not even injured." The ice mage lunged at the fire mage, while a blue haired woman watched eagerly and cheered, "Go, Gray-sama!"
"Bring it on, Ice Perv!" The fire mage shouted back as the two began a large fight that soon involved the rest of the guild.
A blonde girl sat at the counter and let out a sigh as the inevitable fighting continued on. "Can't we ever go a day without there being a fight?" She said as she hugged her small round dog with a carrot shaped nose. "Puun!" The small creature seemed to say.
A white hair bar maid cleaning a glass only smiled at the girl as she looked at everyone, "It's not so bad, Lucy. It brings some excitement to the guild and continues to tests everyone's strengths."
A long red haired woman sitting with them nodded her head in agreement. "Let them fight. It lets them blow off steam every once in a while." She said as she went to take a bite of her strawberry cake. However, just as she was about to put the delicious dessert into her mouth a large black haired man with piercings was knocked into her and accidentally caused the sweet treat to fall to the floor. "My-My cake."
The intimidating man who had been prepared to get the bastard that hit him now became scared as he noticed the red-head's fury. "Shit!" He cursed as he tried to point the blame towards the idiot that threw him towards the red-head's direction. The enraged woman now joined the fight and attacked the person who threw him.
The man let out a sigh as he noticed a light-bluenette giggling in a corner with a book open in front of her. "You lucked out this time, Gajeel." She said as she closed the book and moved to sit over at the counter with Lucy and Mira Jane, the bar tender.
Gajeel grit his teeth holding back a growl as he said, "Whatever, shrimp." And soon he was back fighting with the others.
Levy let out a sigh and then grit her teeth, "I really wish he'd stop calling me that."
"Don't let it get to you, Levy. Gajeel just likes to give people nicknames." A young blue-haired girl said from the other side of Lucy.
"Aye! Your name could be bunny-girl like Lucy." A blue cat piped in as he ate his fish while sitting on the counter, gaining a glare from the blonde haired girl.
"Hmph. I do agree that he should think of better nicknames." A white cat wearing a pink dress said as she looked at the blue cat. "Tomcat here at least deserves his nickname. And you shouldn't talk with your mouth full." She criticized as the blue cat only smiled at her and nodded his head as he offered her the other fish he had with a bow tied to it. "Sorry, Charle, but it's a good fish! Here, I got one for you!" Carla denied the offer though as she looked the other way.
"Actually, I think Wendy has a point. His nickname is just a form of endearment, Levy. I think it's just his awkward way to show he acknowledges you." Another white short-haired woman said as she walked up to the counter where the other girls were. She had been sitting at a table with the Raijin Shuu until they were brought into the fighting.
The blue cat decided to add, "He liiiiiikes you." Causing Levy to blush and for him to get hit on the head by Lucy.
"Stop that, Happy. Then why did he give me the nickname bunny-girl?" Lucy said, ruining his theory.
"Because you're known to cosplay in outfits and that's how he remembers seeing you." Mira Jane said frankly.
Lucy was about to retort when she quickly dodged an incoming chair. Then a certain pink-haired mage bumped into her laughing. "Oi, Lucy, you should join in on the fun!" He said as Lucy held up her hand and replied, "I'll pass, Natsu." Natsu just shrugged his shoulders and prepared to end this. Everyone began to get in a pose to start using their magic when a large giant appeared in the room.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" The loud booming voice caused everyone to freeze where they were except for the pink-haired idiot who laughed and called everyone cowards, only to be stepped on by the giant.
"You'd think he'd learn." Lucy muttered to the other girls who all nodded in agreement and Happy responded with his signature, "Aye!"
The giant then reverted to its regular smaller elderly man form. The master of Fairy Tail jumped up to a higher spot where the guild could hear him. He cleared his throat and held up a paper. "As you all know, our guild is not as grand and sturdy as it used to be. And it doesn't help when you all destroy parts of it every day." At this part he glared at them. "But with this," he gestured to the paper in his hand, "we can all raise money to help fix up the guild. I've been talking to a good friend of mine who gave me this offer to help us out." He jumped down from his spot and put the paper up on the request board. On the paper it said:
FAIRY TALE TUESDAYS
Need Story Tellers to Entertain Children
Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Nursery Rhymes
Job available every Tuesday
Will be given story to tell
REWARD: 10,000 Jewels per teller
+ 1,000 Jewels towards guild per teller
Please Contact us in Advance
The master read the description to the guild and looked around to make sure everyone understood what it meant. "So I would greatly appreciate it if you would find time to participate in this job request." Most of the guild nodded their heads and began to talk amongst themselves to start planning on their stories.
"Lucy! Happy!" Natsu, recovered from being flattened by the master, ran over to his team mates excitedly with a grin on his face. "We should be the first to do it!"
Lucy nodded her head and smiled, "Yeah, sounds like fun! I love stories." She said as Happy flew up into the air and responded with an "Aye, sir!"
The guild was now buzzing about when this person would be able to participate in what week and wondering what types of stories they would have to tell. Some people began to argue about who would go when but received glares from both Erza and the Master, so no physical fighting broke out again that day. The guild began to celebrate this new opportunity to make money and help the guild in the process. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had gotten the information to contact the owner and reserve their spot for the upcoming Tuesday.
Fairy Tale Tuesdays would soon become Fairy Tail Tuesdays.
Authors Note: Alright! That's the prologue! The first story is going to follow the Omake so I can plan how I'm going to tell these stories and such. Thanks for reading and please review and let me know what you think! Also, I'm going to need people's opinions later on for what stories I should do and with which characters. Have a good night/day/morning/afternoon/evening/whatever!
