This is kind of like How to Train Your Dragon, but a lot different, kind of... Okay, it's not all like the movie. Some OOC- ness and slight, or major, AU I guess…
Takes place after Tenroujima, but the Grand Magic Games have not happened yet.
How to Train Your Creature
Chapter 1
Lucy sat at the bar, sipping on her strawberry milkshake, silently listening to Lisanna's stories of Edolas. She chuckled slightly at something Lisanna said about how Lucy Ashley treated Natsu Dragion when he accidently knocked her to the ground. It was the bitch drop. Oh Gods...
"It was pretty gruesome, to be honest. She was relentless!" Lisanna looked over at Natsu, imagining his face if that happened to him, and laughed even louder. The mental image was just too damn good! The white haired girl glanced at the clock and quickly stood up. It was already eleven!"Hey guys, I'm going out, it's late. Bye minna!" She turned and tried to walk out of the guild, but a warm hand grabbed her hand and stopped her. His touch no longer sent happiness to every nerve in her body, now she just frowned."Natsu, let go, I'm going out."
"I wanna hear more stories, though!" he whined.
Lisanna gritted her teeth and shook his hand off, annoyed at the pinkette. She was about to snap at him, when her best friend stood behind the boy with the most threatening aura yet."Natsu, leave her alone. She wants to go, so let her."
Slowly, Natsu backed up to a corner of the guild and cowered. Of course, only three people could do that to him. Erza-san, Mira-nee or, "Lucy-nee! Thanks!"
"No problem, Lisanna-nee," she answered back innocently.
"Let's go then!" Lisanna grabbed the blondes hand and dragged her out of the guild.
"Hai, hai!" Lucy shouted, quickly running after the girl.

Lucy, who was walking precariously on the edge of the river, and Lisanna, who took the safer path on the cobbled road, walked side by side on the road leading to Lucy's house, for the Strauss was currently living there. After Lisanna had come back from Edolas, she and Lucy had gotten to talking, (when Lisanna wasn't bombarded by Fairy Tail members) and they found out that they had a lot in common. In the end, Lisanna knew more about Lucy than she did her own sister! And Lucy knew more about Lisanna than she knew either Natsu or Erza, which was saying something. They soon started to hang out more and eventually, they each called each other oneesan along with Lisanna moving in with Lucy. (AN: This felt rushed… I don't like this paragraph.)
Both girls pulled to a sudden stop as they looked up at their house. They almost passed right by it!
Giggling, Lucy pulled out the apartment key and entered the building, Lisanna following.
"So, Lucy-nee, wanna go on a mission tomorrow?" Lisanna asked, opening the refrigerator, pulling out strawberry jelly and peanut butter (because peanut butter is best in the fridge, so they say). Reaching over the toaster, she grabbed the crinkled bag of wheat bread, expertly twisting the bag open.
"Of course!" Lucy frowned. "We should go when the guild opens so you don't get brought in to tell another story from Edolas."
"Yeah… hey! Why don't we go training after the mission? After all, I was in a place where I can't use magic for two years and you lived in a place where magic was kinda frowned on, and then you joined Fairy Tail and they just threw you in to hard missions suddenly without letting you get adjusted. We could both use the time." Lisanna slathered the peanut butter and jelly on two separate pieces of bread, smacking one on top of each, tossing the knife into the sink to wash up soon. She carefully picked up the sandwich, wary of the dripping jelly, and held out a sandwich she had made to Lucy who took it gratefully, the former already munching on the other.
"That sounds great! Or we can do it right now. The guild closes in thirty, and without you there, they probably all left. We can get sleep on the train." Lucy finished off the sandwich, wiping her hands on her skirt.
"M'kay, let's go!" Lisanna popped the last bite of the sandwich in her mouth as she took the blonde's hand.
"Wait! We should pack first!" Lucy let go of Lisanna's hand as they feverishly packed up what they would need, giving it to Virgo when they were done.
"Let's go!" Lucy rushed into the living room, cinching her belt on her hips.
"Aye!"
And the girls ran, giggling, out the door.
Time skip: 15 minutes
They rushed into the guild, just as Mira was about to close up.
"Lisanna! Can you tell me more about Fairy Tail in Edolas?!" Her eyes shone with eagerness, but drooped when Lisanna told her no.
"Mira-nee, me and Lucy-nee are going to take a mission, then talk to the Master about something. Can you wait a bit before closing up?"
"Uh, sure Lisanna. I'll wait." She bit her lip, opening the door wide so we could slip through as she shuffled back to the bar.
"Great! Thanks Mira-nee!" She and Lucy ran over to the mission board, eyes scanning over the many missions."Hey, Lucy-nee, why don't we ask Master if he has any new missions in? These are either too hard or too easy."
"Alright, let's go." They walked up the stairs and knocked on Makarov's office door.
"Come in!" His voice was dry and cracked with age, but still filled with the energy that the guild possessed. As the girls opened the door, Makarov looked up, surprised."Lucy! Lisanna! What are you doing here?"
"First off, we were wondering if you had any new missions in?" The words came off as a question more than a statement as Lucy looked hopefully at the old man.
"Actually, I do. I was going to ask you two to do it tomorrow, and it specifically asks for a Celestial Mage and Takeover Mage. The reward is 750,000 jewels and a little surprise for both of you. I won't tell you what, though. It's in Celver, a smallish mining village. The town had originally been famous for its use of energy. It had been thriving with celestial and takeover mages, and they imbued their magic into their power source of the village. Using both of those magic's together will last them about another hundred years of power. The amount of energy required may be exhausting, but the reward is greatly worth it. You want to do it?"
Lucy and Lisanna nodded their heads eagerly. A mission just for them? Of course they'd take it!
"Then meet the mayor when you get there. It should last maybe a day or two." He smiled gently at them." What else did you need to ask me?"
The girls looked at each other, nervous. Lisanna turned back to Makarov and spoke. "After that mission, we were wondering if we could go train for a while, travel a bit. It may be around a year, maybe four at most." Makarov opened his mouth to speak, but Lisanna hurried on."But please let us do this Master!"
Makarov stared at them, shocked.
"Uh, could we, uh, also remove our guild mark? We'll get it somewhere else when we get back."
Finally able to talk, he asked."Why?"
"We aren't the strongest in the guild, and plus, I want to take a break from them. It's getting annoying." Lisanna looked down, slightly ashamed of calling her nakama annoying, even if it was true.
"I suppose, if that's what you desire. Let me see your guild mark, girls."
They each showed him their guild mark, one on the hand, the other on the thigh, and watched as they disappeared. All three of them shed a few tears. "Arigatou, Master."
"Wait." They turned around, heads cocked to the side." For leaving Fairy Tail, Rule Number One! You must never reveal sensitive information about Fairy Tail to others for as long as you live. Two! You must never use former contacts met through your being in the guild for personal gain. And Three! Though our paths may have diverged, you must continue to live out your life with all your might, you must never consider your own life to be something insignificant, and you must never forget about your friends who loved you." By now, they Master was hiccuping and sobbing, but managed to hold up the Fairy Tail sign as the girls turned away, shedding tears.
On the way out, both girls held up the Fairy Tail sign, right hands above their head, thumb and index finger in the shape of an L. Makarov just cried harder, turning away."Brats," he choked out.
"Bye Mira-nee," Lisanna smiled at her sister as she left the guild.
"Bye, Lisanna!"Mira waved at them as they walked out the guild doors. She was oblivious to how long they would be gone.
As both Lucy and Lisanna turned around again, headed towards the train station, they had a feeling they wouldn't be gone for the time that they thought.
I don't know if I like this one… the next one should be better.
