Fairy Tail: set between Edolas arc and S-class Trials arc

Circle of Magic: set between Briar's Book and Magic Steps

This is my first fan fiction story. Please read and review. I don't own any of the characters.

CHAPTER 1:

Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy were heading back to the Fairy Tail guild hall via the woods near Magnolia after a successful mission when Lucy spotted a glowing and swirling white and silver circle floating in the air to their right. "Hey, guys? What's that?" She called back to the others, pointing to the glowing circle.

The others looked at where she was pointing. "I have no idea," Erza said after examining it with a warrior's trained eye.

"Whatever it is, it looks cool!" Natsu exclaimed, running over to the glowing circle.

"Hey, flame-brain! I wouldn't get near it! It could be dangerous!" Gray shouted to Natsu.

Natsu stopped in front of the circle and turned to Gray, irritated. "You pervert! How can it be dangerous!?"

Just as Natsu asked that, the circle started spinning, drawing Natsu closer to it. Natsu yelped and tried to get away from it, but was only drawn closer to it. Immediately, the rest of the group rushed over to help, but as soon as they got closer, the circle's spinning increased, making its pull stronger. Then with a shout of surprise from the group and a sound like wind howling coming from the circle, all the members of the group, except Happy, were drawn into the circle which then vanished. Happy, who strangely enough had not been affected by the circle's pull at all, immediately started panicking. "Oh no! Natsu! Gray! Lucy! Erza! Not good. Not good at all. Help, I must get help!" Happy exclaimed before flying off towards the Fairy Tail guild hall in Magnolia.

Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar were walking through the forest near Winding Circle in order to inspect how dry it was as there was a serious drought happening. The Duke of Emelan was worried about the possibility of a forest fire starting and had asked Briar's teacher Rosethorn to see how likely that situation was. Rosethorn was being pulled in a lot of directions, so Briar had said he would do the inspection and the girls had volunteered to go with him.

Just as they were finishing up their inspection, there was a loud crash to their left. Worried that it may have been a tree, Briar ran over to where the crash came from, the girls right behind him.

When they reached the place the crash had come from, they stopped and stared in shock. In front of them was a shallow crater, and at the bottom of the crater were four strangely attired people. There were two girls and two boys.

One of the girls had red hair and was wearing a black, short-sleeved shirt with a short, navy blue skirt. The girl was also wearing armor over her shirt.

The second girl had blonde hair and was wearing a blue shirt that ended at her midriff and a short, blue skirt. At her waist was a bunch of keys and a strange cylinder.

One of the boys had black hair and was wearing nothing but boxers.

The other boy was the strangest of them all. He had PINK hair and wore a black vest with gold edges and no shirt underneath and matching knee-length shorts.

All four of the people in the crater groaned and started getting up. "Natsu, you idiot! Next time we tell you to stay away from something, listen to us," the black-haired boy said.

"I was just curious about it, you pervy flasher!" The pink-haired boy, now known as Natsu, retorted.

"Enough! No fighting! Gray, where are your clothes?" The red-haired girl asked, looking at the black-haired boy.

The black-haired boy, now known as Gray, blinked and looked down at his body. He yelped and scrambled for his clothes, which were lying in a pile right next to him. "Oh, man! Why does this keep happening?!" He groaned while putting his clothes on.

The four mages watching the scene unfolding before them just stared in shock and confusion. Sandry was the first to snap out of it. She cleared her throat, getting the attention of the four people in the crater. "Who are you?" Sandry asked.
