Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to the first installment of Fairy Tail does Shakespeare, a variety of plays with a Fairy Tail twist. We invite you to sit back and relax while you read some well-known classic plays by Shakespeare staring the Fairy Tail cast.

Let us begin with one of his greatest comedies, A Midsummer's Night Dream.

Act 1 Scene 1

The court of Magnolia had been decked out for a wondrous occasion. The Midsummer Festival was about to start that week and all around Magnolia looked beautiful. Lanterns of red, yellows and other vivid colors hung on strings. Foods from pumpkin pie to chili were set out on tables. People from different towns would come over in their best suits. However, in the courthouse of Magnolia, Makarov Dreyar, was dealing with a very important, erm, issue.

It all started when Jude Heartfilia bounded in the room with his daughter, Lucy. She had her arms around a pink haired fellow by the name of Natsu Dragneel. Behind them stood Gray Fullbuster and a blue haired girl named Juvia Lockser. The troubling father had brought the four teenagers to his court about a problem.

"What brings you here today, Jude?" Makarov asked.

"I'm angry at my daughter sir. She refuses to marry the man I picked out for her, Gray. This boy, Dragneel, has swept her off her feet. He's given her gifts and snuck into our house just to sleep in her bed. She has fallen for him and now denies my orders." The whole time he was talking Lucy kept shooting him angry looks. her grip on Natsu's arm tighten as he glared back. So what if she had a thing for Natsu? She could love anyone she wanted to!

"Well you're not my daughter, but Lucy don't you think you should respect your father? He has the authority over you and you should respect him more. I mean, Gray would make a lovely husband." Makarov stated.

"So would Natsu and besides Gray strips." Lucy grumbled. Gray looked down and yelped as he saw his underwear. Juvia looked at him with hearts in her eyes.

"Lucy do you talk to your father with this tone?" Makarov said.

"Yes and if I may imply, I can marry who I want! I have no love for Gray and I certainly don't have any for my father. I wish to be married to Natsu."

"Well if you feel this way Lucy, I have no other choice. Either marry Gray or be banished from Magnolia forever. You've got three days to decide." And with that, court was released for the day.

As he was leaving, Gray and Natsu locked eyes. "Listen fire breath, give me Lucy or have her banished forever." Gray said. Natsu grinned his signature smile. "Or what? If you're going to get Lucy, you're going to have to fight me for her." Natsu's hands burst into flames as he stood in front of Lucy. Gray growled but left them as he walked out the door.

Natsu turned to Lucy, her face looked to the ground. "What's the matter Luce? You look as if you lost your best friend?" Lucy looked at Natsu with a worried expression on her face.

"Don't you see Natsu? If I don't marry Gray, I won't ever see you again. If I marry him, then we can't be together." Her eyes watered as she put her face on Natsu's chest. "My father is so horrible! Only he could think of picking my husband, just because he thinks he can!"

Natsu ran his fingers through Lucy's hair. "Don't worry Luce. We'll think of something, we always do." Suddenly, Natsu's eyes lit up. He grabbed Lucy's shoulders and looked at her face. "I've got it! We can run away to the outer forests of Magnolia! I'll pick you up tonight and we can run far away from this place and get married." Lucy looked at Natsu and smiled. "Wow I didn't know you could think crazy like that Natsu! Maybe we can pull this off. So tomorrow we'll run away together." Natsu and Lucy hugged each other and started to dance.

Natsu looked up to see Juvia coming back. "Quick Juvia's coming! Man is that girl obsessed with Gray!" Natsu and Lucy broke up their hug as she drew nearer.

"Hey Juvia what's up?" Lucy asked. Juvia looked at Lucy with a dreamy expression. "Juvia was just thinking about her Gray-sama. Juvia knows that he'll have fun with Lucy when they are married. She thinks they make a cute couple as if Juvia was in Lucy's shoes. What was Lucy doing with Natsu?" Lucy gave Juvia a weird expression before replying. "Well you won't have to worry about me anymore! Tomorrow night Natsu and I are heading out of Magnolia to get married someplace else."

Juvia's eyes widen as she hugged Lucy. "Thank you! Now Juvia can finally marry Gray-sama! Thank you so much." Juvia ran out of the court hall, babbling about marry Gray. Lucy and Natsu watched her leave. "Gray doesn't even give the girl the time of day. How is she going to convince him to marry her?" Natsu asked Lucy. She shrugged her shoulders as they walked out, discussing their plans.
