Catastrophe: Cat[ch] a trophy!
1 - The forgotten words
Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Fairy Tail, still trying to talk Hiro into giving me the rights to it *sigh*
Warnings(for the whole story): Most likely will include fluff, a dangerous and cute Natsu, Jellal, Gajeel & Gray.
A/N: The inspiration for this 6-shot (might turn into less or more depending on how I write it out) came from reading one-shots or couple-shots were Natsu or Lucy turn into babies and grow up. Let's just say it's something like this, but the boys don't turn into babies, but something fluffy.
Anyway,
Enjoy!
Lucy let out a sigh of relief. It was good to have a break from jobs and relax in a resort with her friends. She lay on her back under the beach umbrella, with Erza on her left and Levy on her right. Both the girls enjoying the warmth that was wrapping around them even in the shadow. The light blue haired girl was reading a romance book, and would giggle from time to time getting a raised eyebrow from both the blonde and the scarlet wizards beside her. Lucy on the other hand just lay there, thinking about her novel and getting inspiration from the golden sand beach and the cerulean water that brushed against the shore, inviting them in. Inviting them to play. Erza, well she was being Erza. Ignoring the loud boys who were fist fighting just few metres away, she ran away to her dream land filled with strawberry cakes and a hooded man, that had blue hair poking out. Her ideal life.
It was a year since Fairy Tail won Grand Magic Games, and went back to the guild as the number one guild in Fiore and through the whole year all everyone did was go on jobs, because they were piling one on top of the other. At one point Lucy got mad, started screaming trying to pull her hair out and when Natsu asked her to go on another job with him she refused. With a slap to the face. Not only did she embarrass him in front of the whole guild but he kept coming to her asking for a reason of her brutal refusal. After their confrontation she decided that enough is enough and she asked a couple of her friends to go with her to the Akane resort for a break. And so Lucy, Erza, Juvia, Levy, Gray, Natsu, Jellal and Gajeel set off for the short vacation. Wendy refused to go, saying she'd prefer to stay in the guild and help out and the exceeds went to visit other exceeds. So it was just the eight of them.
How did Jellal find himself casually walking around Akane resort, and not get himself arrested? It was a rather simple reason. The magic council was too busy trying to find out the reasons for the disappearances of nearly all the dark guilds, and had no time looking for escapees like Jellal. So, Lucy contacted him to have a break and although he politely refused at first a threat from Meredy and Ultear changed his mind. He really didn't want to go up against those two and Lucy herself seemed set on bringing him along. Even if it meant kidnapping him. So, Jellal was forced to enjoy himself and he did. The boys did an amazing job amusing the escapee, through their childish behaviour.
"SAND CASTLE CONTEST!" Natsu suddenly roared, making Levy drop her book, her eyes widening in shock. Lucy sighed shaking her head disapprovingly, but smiled gently, looking at Natsu's playful side. Erza didn't show any sign of annoyance. She seemed to be ignoring everything and everyone around her. Or she just fell asleep. Either of those two were right, but Lucy wouldn't want to try and find out. That might cost her something, like life.
"I'M NOT GONNA LOOSE ASH BRAINS!" Gray shouted and started playing with the sand slowly creating a structure of a castle. He was aware of eyes that bore into his naked body but dismissed them being used to it. After all, Juvia always stalked him.
"Gi-hi, sounds like a challenge, salamander." Gajeel smirked and started digging through the sand, which went flying everywhere, to create a moat that would go around his own castle. Levy peered at him curiously from behind her book.
"I'M NOT GONNA LOOSE TO YOU, IRON FREAK AND ICE PRINCESS!" Natsu cheered for himself, patting the side of the tower he made, and stuck his finger inside to create the windows. He patted himself on the shoulder, for making the realistic looking castle. He proceeded to dig out a moat much like Gajeel, before continuing to finish the castle itself. Gray was having fun as well. His castle was looking to be twice as big as the dragon slayers, but only little was done so far.
"Gray-sama, Juvia is cheering for you!" Juvia cheered silently, from behind a tree, wiggling while watching Gray's naked body a trail of blood coming from her nose. She refused to faint, and miss the chance of seeing his perfect body.
"Those idiots..." Lucy gritted her teeth when their loud shouts and cheers refused to let her relax. It felt much like at the guild. Loud and party-like. Not only was she trying to escape the jobs but the everyday atmosphere in the guild. It seemed, that it was not something she would be able to get rid of even if she buried herself under ground. Alone. At the bottom of the sea.
"Leave them be, Lu-chan. No matter what you do, they'll still keep being idiots." Levy sighed, flopping down her book onto her bare stomach. Her green bikini accentuating her curves even if she didn't have a bust like Lucy.
"You're right, Levy-chan. It's just so frustrating. I came here to relax not hear their competitive nature." She huffed out annoyed and dropped onto her pink blanket like a ragged doll. She closed her eyes trying to mute out the noises of the boys quarrel. Levy followed by and in seconds it looked like Erza, Lucy and Levy were laying sprawled on blankets sleeping. An easy target for perverts, especially that they were wearing bikini's.
"Alright, I'm done!" Natsu declared proudly, slamming his fist against his chest with a triumphant smirk.
"Me too." Gray said, crossing his hands on his chest.
"Ditto." Was Gajeel's reply to their words and he grinned looking at his amazing castle.
"My one's the best!" Natsu announced, bouncing up and down like a little child.
"Nope, my is, ash brain."
"A stripper like you will never win with me." Natsy gave him a knowing look and Gray's eyes drifted downwards. With a shriek he covered his private that was out on the loose.
"When did this happen?" He screamed and started running to search for his shorts.
"Tche, he lost them as soon as we got to the beach." Gajeel snorted and turned to look at all the castles together.
He found nothing.
They were too close to the sea.
The water washed away their castles.
"Well, fuck."
The boys assembled in a small circle as soon as Natsu stopped raging about his destroyed castle and Gray found his shorts. They were crouching around a rock, that Natsu was poking with a stick he discovered buried in the sand. Jellal looked amused, like he was before. The boys sure caused a brawl, especially when Natsu decided that trying to evaporate the water as a way of revenge would be a smart choice.
"What are we doing here?" Gray asked, peeking behind to make sure none of the girls came anywhere near them.
"I just came up with the best plan ever." Natsu's evil grin, made the remaining boys gulp. They nodded for him to carry on.
"You see, girls never went into the sea and we've been here for ages. How about we throw 'em in?" He cracked a massive grin that stretched across the whole of his face.
The boys sighed. "I thought you were going to suggest fighting Erza." Jellal said.
"Anything but that, so throwing them in is alright." Gajeel agreed.
"Lets all assign ourselves one girl." Gray added.
"I will take Lucy because she's my best friend." Natsu said.
"I'll take Erza. She seems to be going easy on me. I'm afraid if any of you take her on, it will end badly." Jellal stated matter-of-factly.
"I'll take shrimp. She's an easy target." Gajeel smirked.
"I have Juvia left? Well, that will be easy." Gray sighed, rolling his eyes.
Since Juvia joined the girls their targets were much easier. All four girls just lay there (now in the sun), with eyes closed being a rather easy target to get to. The boys started slowly tip toeing to their designated targets from behind ready to snatch them in the arms and sprint for the water that other people occupied. Girls, oblivious to the boys, had no idea what was coming and maybe if Erza didn't fall asleep, she would be able to stop the boys with her swords.
Natsu snatched Lucy awkwardly in his hands and she screamed afraid it's a rapists or a robber trying to steal her keys, that were laying next to her. Seeing a mop of pink hair she was furious, but she didn't have time to react. Natsu was sprinting towards the inviting sea, and she was screaming for him to stop. The only thing Natsu didn't predict was Lucy loosing her bra. He didn't notice it was undone when she was laying on her stomach and he just snatched her not caring. Not her breasts were exposed for everyone to see and she tried her best to keep them covered while the oblivious Natsu just ran ahead. With her screaming in his ears.
Erza's eyes snapped open when something dashed past her but she didn't have time to think or react as Jellal snatched her into his arms bridal style and made a ran for the water. Of course, since he wasn't as dense as Natsu he checked if she had her bikini on. Otherwise he wouldn't dare to touch her, fearing her wrath. Erza not really knowing what's going on clutched onto his neck and stared in disbelief at Natsu who was running with a half naked blonde she recognized as Lucy.
Levy was an easy target for Gajeel. He simply threw her over his shoulder and jogged behind the two boys that were running what seemed like for their lives. And maybe that was the case. As soon as Lucy and Erza will be in water, all hell will break loose and he realized that. Levy screamed pounding her small fists against his back but he just smirked ignoring her loud protests.
As soon as Gray was by Juvia's side she snapped her eyes open and literately lunged herself at him, attaching herself like a leech. A squeal of joy escaped her lips and she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips. So all he had to do was pry her off when in the water.
All 8 of them got to the water, at the same time and at the same time dropped the girls, who screamed as soon as their bodies hit the liquid. Lucy still covering her breasts. Erza stunned, Levy annoyed and Juvia being a hard one to pry off. Gray eventually succeeded. All the girls were now soaking wet, glaring daggers into the boys who sweat dropped but laughed nonetheless.
"Natsu!" Lucy screamed embarrassed emerging from under the water and making her way to stand behind the fuming Erza. What was surprising was that she wasn't exactly mad at the boys but at Natsu. She glared daggers into him, making him stop laughing, gulp and await his execution. "HOW DARE YOU THROW LUCY WHEN HER BRA AIN'T ON!" She roared and the evil Erza made the beach empty itself within seconds. She slowly started making her way towards Natsu, when Levy and Juvia stood by Lucy shaking their heads in disappointment.
"Well, he's done for it." Gray sighed, crossing his arms on his chests and letting out a set of laughs.
"You don't say." Gajeel mocked, glancing at a blushing Levy who was now exiting the sea and heading for the blanket before pulling it up and covering Lucy while she put on her bikini. Juvia once again attached to Gray.
"That was rather interesting. At least we're not in trouble." Jellal nodded with a triumphant smile.
"What was that?" Erza turned to glare at them, holding Natsu's pink hair which wad the only part of him sticking out from under the water. Bubbles forming around him.
All that was heard on the beach was the screams of boys begging for forgiveness.
"Totally ruining my day." Lucy whined, flopping down on her bed and hugging her pillow to her chest. She was still embarrassed after the beach incident because when they were going to their hotel, some guys were whistling at her saying she had nice boobs. She wanted to strangle Natsu for that. Ignoring him was not enough, even if he seemed upset about it. Even Erza beating them up was not enough.
"Yeah, tomorrow we should head out somewhere without the boys." Levy said, sighing and seating on the edge of Lucy's bed.
"I'm worried the might destroy something." Erza mused, drying her hair from the shower.
"It always happens, so we shouldn't worry about it." Levy said, pouting.
"Ughh, those idiots." Lucy groaned hitting the pillow over her face and groaning into it.
"Juvia think Gray-sama's body is perfect." Juvia squealed like a fan-girl, a blush on her face.
"Why the hell are we talking about Gray's body?" Lucy dead panned.
"LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia gritted her teeth making Lucy flinch.
"I'm not your love rival." Lucy sighed, shaking her head. Juvia wouldn't listen to her not matter what she would say.
Lucy hooped of the bed, dropping the pillow and walking to her bag she bought with her on the beach. She started panicking when she couldn't find her keys fearing she lost them and fearing Aquarius's wrath. She bit her lip and cried out running for the door.
"Lucy?" Erza called after her, surprised at the blonde's sudden behaviour. "Where'd she go?"
"Probably to beat up Natsu." Levy shrugged, tired.
"Gray-sama~" Juvia wooed.
The girls shook their heads.
"Damn it!" Lucy growled, darting down the stairs taking two at a time and knocking people down and having to apologize, just wasting more time. It was already after dark; near was afraid someone could've taken the keys and she won't be able to find them. The air was cooler than during the day but still comfortable helping her relax her tense muscles. She crept down the rowdy roads, people greeting her and inviting to join the party with them. Most of them were men but some drunk women would come up to her, throw a arms over her shoulder and proceed to drag her to a bar filled with drunk people. It was hard for Lucy to get away from their company but she managed to succeed and she jogged the rest of the way.
In the night it was much harder to pinpoint were they were resting especially that there weren't any lamps that would give her light. She had to thank the full moon for any sort of light she was given even if it was faint. She hit her toe against something hard and fell to the ground with a loud 'oof' escaping her parted in surprise lips.
"This is getting annoying!" She complained, rubbing her throbbing toe and looking back to glare at the rock. However, even in the dark she noticed the shape of the object and it wasn't a rock. It was something solid and almost like the edge of a book. She slipped her hand under the sand and started digging the rest of the book out. She was curious what it was doing there and so she took it out and cradled to her chest before continuing to look for her keys.
She found the with a sigh of relief. They were laying untouched on the sand and she kissed their pouch, glad she didn't loose them. "Sorry guys."
Lucy headed back to the hotel in a much better mood, a soft smile on her face.
She entered her room and Levy, Juvia and Erza materialised themselves by her side. "What happened?"
"Sorry, forgot my keys at the beach, and hey! I found this book!" She beamed happily shoving the book in their faces.
They hopped to the table and flopped the book down standing around it with evident curiosity. It was a light blue hard cover book with a shape of a red cat on the front and words that the girls didn't understand. Levy started flipping through the pages. On the first one there were once against words she didn't understand and were scattered in points. Maybe rules? Next pages were empty but the middle one. There were few words in a foreign to them language hand written. For some reason it reminded Erza and Lucy of Memory Days book.
"This looks dangerous lets-" Lucy started but Levy already said the words out loud. They were weird sounding in her mouth and she found the foreign words, unpleasant for some reason. Not because they were sounding unpleasant but because they bought a bitter taste to her tongue, and she rolled it around her mouth trying to get rid of it.
"Well, that escalated quickly." Erza stated, matter of factly.
"Nothing happened." Juvia said, sounding confused.
Lucy let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to check on the boys, just in case." She said and left the room going to knock on the boys one, across to theirs. No one answered. This time Erza knocked, the metal must've alerted them of Erza's presence. Their was shuffling inside, groaning, some high squeaks and someone jumping? Although the jumping was very soft and light. Barley audible. Erza raised an eyebrow and kicked the door open.
"Oh my god..." They all said in unison.
What they saw inside was beyond believable.
