A/N: Yo! This is my attempt to do a light hearted and humorous tale of Fairy Tail. I hope that you all enjoy.

Pairings: Natsu/aquarius/more

Chapter one: The new key bearer
Aquarius looked over at Lucy and reiterated.
"Don't call me, I'm with my boyfriend. My BOYfriend." Aquarius said twice and carefully ennunciated the second word.
She then disappeared in a swirl of water as was her specialty.
"Arg, you didn't have to repeat it, and what was with the enunciation!" Lucy shouted out in anger after her.
"Harsh relationship. Can we have that key?" Happy the flying talking cat that apparently is normal for the world asked.
"Fine, you want the key so bad, you can have it, all she ever does is give me grief." Lucy said in anger as she tossed the key at Happy.
Happy caught the key with an 'oof' after how hard it was thrown at him.
"Wait, what did I just do?" Lucy asked herself in shock after she got over her anger and realized that she had just given away her most powerful spirit in a moment of anger.
She then groaned in depression as she realized that she couldn't take it back due to the facts that 1, Aquarius would be pissed at her, and, 2 she was a celestial spirit mage and always held her promises.
"Damnit, they always said that I would let my emotions get the better of me and make a huge mistake one day." Lucy said with a sigh.

It was three days later and after the Duke Everlue mission that the Natsu and Lucy were back at the guild.
"How do I summon a celestial spirit?" Natsu asked her suddenly.
"Oh, yeah, that's right, I gave you Aquarius, I can't believe I forgot about that!" Lucy pounded her fist. Her facial expression showed her true feelings as she was crying a river of tears. Happy was using the tears to fill up his waterbottle.
"Yeah, I know that I have to make a contract, but how do I summon her?" Natsu asked.
"Just repeat after me and pull it down in a slicing motion and then push the key forward and twist." Lucy said.
She then demonstrated the motion of it.
"Now, say these words." Lucy commanded, "Gate of the water bearer, I open thee. Aquarius."
Natsu repeated the words and went through the motion exactly as she said to and watched as Aquarius appeared in a swirling whirlpool.
"Oh, it's you two, come to give me back to Lucy?" Aquarius sneered while spitting the word Lucy out.
"Nope, I'm here to make a contract with you." Natsu said cheerfully.
"A contract? Why would I want to make a contract?" Aquarius said incredulously.
"So you have some say when I summon you." Natsu replied, "after all, if we don't have a contract, then I can't breach it and you can't get free from me."
Aquarius looked at him, amazed, that was one loophole very few mages actually ever figured out, and she had to say that she was very impressed.
"How did you find out?" Aquarius muttered as one of the major secrets of the spirit world was blurted out.
"I didn't, I just guessed. I know that you can summon celestial spirits without a contract when you're in danger and guessed from there." Natsu said with an evil look as he said, "and you're the one who confirmed it.
Lucy looked on in shock as he said, "Natsu's a lot smarter than he lets on, isn't he?"
"Aye!" Happy replied cheerfully.
Back to the two mismatched-never-should-have-got-together-for-if-t hey-do-entire-towns-are-destroyed people, they were arguing the major terms of the contract.
"And I say I should be able to get fish every time that I'm summoned!" Aquarius shouted.
"Like hell you will, that's my fish and it'll stay that way!" Natsu shouted.
Aquarius readied her jar of water and pointed it at Natsu.
"Do you think that you can negotiate with the greatest water spirit to ever walk the Earthland?" Aquarius asked.
"Do you think that you can negotiate with the greatest fire user to ever walk the Earthland?" Natsu retorted.
Aquarius and Natsu stared at each other before Aquarius attacked Natsu with 1000 gallons of water.
Natsu just powered up his fire and watched as the water dissipated into steam before it could reach him.
A few minutes later and Aquarius closed the lid.
Wearily, they watched the fog roll away and saw that Natsu was still standing.
"Hah! You can't win against me!" Natsu said with his fist in the air.
"Fine, that would just be a battle of attrition anyways, and those are always annoying." Aquarius tched.
"So, these are the terms that I am making that are nonnegotiable. If you don't want to be summoned that day, appear that morning and tell me you don't, cause otherwise I will. You will get Sundays and late nights off, so plan your dates around those times, because I won't accept a date as an excuse to be absent. You may only take four days off every month. And, when I summon you, you don't have to obey, but you cannot attack me or my allies." Natsu said with a grin, knowing that he had covered all the bases.
Aquarius grimanced as she thought about how strict the terms were and finally folded in.
"Fine, but only if you get strong enough to beat up anyone that you encounter." Aquarius said with a smirk.
"Of course I will, who do you take me for?" Natsu asked with a matching smirk.
"Say, I have a question." Natsu said after a minute of smirking.
"What is it?" Aquarius asked.
"I'm new at this, and I've got two keys, is it possible to have two contracts?" Natsu asked.
"Yes, and you can even summon two spirits at a time." Aquarius said. "That is, if you have the magic power for it, little boy."
Natsu was quick to anger and quickly called to Lucy. "Hey, Lucy, how do I summon Virgo?"
Lucy blinked and shouted "Just chant 'O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate, Gate of the maiden, I open thee, Virgo'."
Natsu did as she said and watched as Virgo was summoned.
A short haired silver haired girl appeared and Natsu smiled solemnly at the image.
"You are my new master?" Virgo asked emotionlessly.
"Yeah, I am, but why take that form?" Natsu asked.
"Because it is the one that most shows the pure heart in your mind. If it was her mind, she would have had a short pink haired girl." Virgo replied.
"I think I get it." Natsu said.
"If this form is too personal, then I understand, I have had plenty of users that have had problems with it before." Virgo said.
"No! It's fine, just don't show up like that around Mirajine or Elfman." Natsu said.
"Very well then." Virgo said.
"My terms are quite simple, you can summon me at any time." Virgo said.
Natsu nodded about that.
"That's it? You don't want anything in return. I was told by my father that the reasons that Celestial spirits bonded with humans was so that they would be able to get something from this world in return for their services in the first war." Natsu said.
"You...are remarkably well informed. As long as you punish me when I do something wrong, that is my term." Virgo said.
Natsu just nodded.
Done! I know it kind of took a turn downhill at the end, but I think that it was a good move to get Virgo into the game.
