Here's another fic of Fairy tail, it occured to me when I read again the Fighting Festival Arc, when it was the contest for Ms Fairy Tail. There will be a lot of pairings so just to warn you. Sorry for the grammar mistakes, I need a Beta. I promise the next one will be larger. I have been busy and inspiration is very hard to find these days, just kidding. I don't have a lot of time to write now, so excuse my crappy grammar again.
Pairings: NatuxLucy, GrayxJuvia, ErzaxMystogan(weird I know), GajeelxLevy, AlzackxBisca... I think that's all maybe there will be more I don't know.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail it belongs to Hiro Mashima.
Fairy Race
Join the most exciting and dangerous race of all time! The participants will compete for the fabulous prize of 1,000,000 jewels and a reservation at one of the most expensive and luxurious restaurants of Magnolia Town. The race will take place tomorrow at noon in front of the guild. Get ready ladies!
*To participate you must have a partner.
*Partners can't be of the same gender.
*The use of magic will be prohibited.
"Fairy…Race?" Lucy stared intently at the notice on the request board, she reread it again, not fully understanding why the need of partners, what could it meant? Then again the reward was very inviting.
"What's wrong Lucy?" A voiced called behind her and Lucy snapped out from her thoughts and turned to see Mirajane with a tray of beers and with her usual smile.
"Ah Mira, have you read this notice?" The Celestial Spirit mage pointed at the board, where the notice was, Mira inch closer and read it, once she finished she laughed and smiled at Lucy.
"It's another idea of the Master, he had this idea for a long time and he wanted to try it out." She disappeared into the kitchen and Lucy was again left alone staring at the notice. It didn't take long before another person arrived.
"What are you staring at bunny girl?" This time the rough voice scared the poor blonde mage and made her jump away from the request board to stare at the Metal Dragon Slayer.
"To jump like that…you really are a bunny girl." Gajeel smirked, showing off his fangs. Normally people would have been afraid of him, but with Lucy, a vein popped on her forehead.
"What is wrong with you? Scaring people like that." She ignored him and continued reading the notice for the seventh time. Gajeel raised one of his eyebrows at her reaction.
"What are you looking at with such interest bunny girl?" Pushing her away from the board to take a look at the notice, he began reading completely unaware of a now angered Lucy.
"Stop calling me bunny girl!" Lucy screamed, ready to summon one of her Celestial Spirits. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Gajeel staring at the notice with the same intensity she had before. It sent shivers down her spine for some reason.
And out of nowhere, Gajeel raised his head and looked around the guild. When he found what he was searching he quickly strode to where his objective was sitting, Lucy was left with her mouth agape by sudden movements of Gajeel and her jaw almost hit the floor when she saw where he was going.
Levy was sitting in one of the many tables in the guild reading one of her books, at her sides where Jet and Droy laughing over something they said. They stopped laughing when they saw Gajeel stop in front of them. The atmosphere changing completely.
"Levy." The blue haired mage blinked, she raised her eyes off her book to look at Gajeel, she was immediately intimidated by his sudden appearance and his cold eyes staring at her.
"Y-Yes?" There was a moment of silence with the four of them, Jet and Droy ready for any movement from the Dragon Slayer that could indicate a fight, however that was not the case.
"Will you be my partner for the race?"
Jet and Droy fell of the table, Levy blushed and only stared at Gajeel in disbelief. At the other side of the guild, Lucy who was watching the whole scene, was the same as Levy.
"I...um..s-sure…" Levy said, in a low voice, but loud enough for Gajeel who give her one of his usuals smirk.
"I will see you tomorrow."
As fast as it happened, it ended. Gajeel went out the guild with his bag over his shoulder. Jet and Droy were too shocked to say anything and that the fact that they had forgotten about the race. Levy went back to read her book, she still had that blush adorning her face.
Lucy took a few minutes to compose herself, turning back to stare at the notice again. Who had imagined Gajeel would do that and in front of the whole guild, she had to take note of that.
A few minutes passed and out of nowhere there was the sound of a explosion and the smell of something burning. Lucy rolled her eyes, and sighed loudly, waiting for the inevitable.
"Lucy!" Indeed. Natsu voice was heard in the whole guild, he fanatically looked around for the blonde mage, once he spot her at the request board, he made a run for her stopping just a few centimeters away from her.
"Lucy! Be my partner!" The Fire Dragon Slayer screamed in her face, fire sprouting from his hands and Lucy had to cover her ears. Happy appeared behind Natsu, holding his paw up in the air with a smile on his face.
"Aye!"
"Hold on a second, why do you want to participate if you're not going to use magic?"
"Because I want to!" Once again Natsu screamed and exited the guild running, Happy flying behind him. "You better be ready tomorrow!" That was the last thing he screamed when another explosion was heard. Lucy sweat dropped, something was definitely wrong with Natsu.
Sighing again, the notice was tempting her to look at it for the rest of the day, it was like a messenger ready to bring her bad news and the reward seemed to get bigger each time she blinked, as expected she felt another person behind her.
"Don't get your hopes to high, Lucy-san." One more, Lucy turned to see who it was, it turned out the person was Juvia, with a satisfactory smile on her lips, Lucy eyebrows rose.
"You will not win Gray-sama, I already asked him to be my partner." Juvia closed her eyes her head up in the air triumphally. Lucy took a few moments to comprehend the situation.
"Actually, Natsu asked me to be his partner." Juvia was left shocked and Lucy smiled nervously, why these things happened to her, she will never know, but then again it was Fairy Tail.
"You still won't win the reward, that reservation will be mine!" And with that Juvia disappeared, leaving Lucy alone until Mirajane reappeared from the kitchen.
"Are you okay Lucy?" Mirajane asked with another tray of beers in her hand, Lucy was pale and had a distant look.
"I'm going home, before another person appears." Lucy made her way to the entrance of the guild, ready to go home. Mirajane stared at her confused, but soon a smile appeared on her face.
"Alright, take care Lucy!" The blonde heard Mirajane call her, and she waved with her hand. Once she was outside, she breathed deeply the cold air, to clear her mind for a moment, the sun was hiding behind the horizon and Lucy wanted nothing more than a good shower.
On her way home, she summoned Plue to keep her company. She walked on the trip of brick near the river, the boatman telling her to watch her steps, she waved at him and smiled. Finally, she reached her apartment but before she could enter she saw Mystogan walking at the other side of the street, he stopped and looked at her, both stared at each other until he quickly went to her, stopping once he was in front of her. Lucy immediately freaked out, this was Mystogan, the most reclusive and mysterious mage in all Fairy Tail, what was happening?!
"Excuse me Lucy, have you seen Erza?"
"Wh-what?" Lucy snapped out of her stupor, and began thinking, she hadn't seen Erza all day, maybe she was on a mission, but she wouldn't leave without dragging them with her.
"I don't know where she is, but she may be at Fairy Hills." Lucy saw Mystogan lower his head as in deep thought, and then she heard him say.
"Fairy Hills…I see, thank you for your help." He bowed politely and Lucy had no idea what to do but bowed also, with a shivering Plue also bowing next to her.
"You're welcome…" As Lucy watched him walked away, she was sure there was something going on, taking careful steps to her apartment, very slowly she opened the door and breathed deeply when she found out there was no one of her team in her home. She still checked everything, just in case.
Once she had finished her shower, wrote two chapters of her newest novel and Plue returned to the Celestial World, she flopped down on her bed ready to sleep. She wasn't really looking forward to the race. Lucy was hopeful tomorrow would be a normal day.
I know it is confusing and there are a lot of grammar mistakes, sorry. I know the MystoganxErza pairing is strange and maybe will never happen but I have to try somehting different. Thanks for reading! R&R.
