Back To Being Blonde

Chapter One: Youth Is Returned

Sorry. I know I have tons of stories already going, but I wanted to do this before I forget about it, okay? Okay. Now, onward with the story!

I lay in the bed with the blankets pulled up to my neck, in the hospital wing. I'm in a kind of comatose state, I'm dying too. I guess I should've seen this coming though, with Laxus turning on me and all. I probably couldn't have prepared for him to take it this far though. I'm getting old and I guess I can't think like I used to. I keep being told that it's time to retire, but I don't want to. I want to keep running Fairy Tail until I can't anymore.

Maybe I should step down. Who would I give the guild to though? Laxus? No, I didn't want to before and I sure as hell don't want to do it now. Erza? She's too young and she has her new team to take care of. Mystogan? No, he won't ever show his face and he's never around. I guess my best bet would Mirajane. She's old enough and she doesn't really do much other than bartend. She has a good attitude, she'd be perfect. She'll be the one I give the guild to if I happen to die or I finally decide to retire.

I hope Gajeel and Natsu can take Laxus down, they are both very skilled (sort of) and have great power. I just hope it's enough. Will Laxus come to see me? Since I'm dying. It would be nice of him, but I'm not expecting too much from him. I don't like to be disappointed. I should probably sleep, save my strength. Thinking probably isn't the best thing for right now. I wish I was younger, then I could stay being the master for longer and maybe good handle Laxus on my own. I really, really wish I was young again….

-Line Break-

Nobody had been in the master's hospital room for awhile, nobody wanted to be the one who would walk in and have to announce he was dead. So they stayed away, the tubes would give him food and water for weeks, so he was set in that sense. Nobody came by to see him until Laxus came in.

He walked in through the doors, bloody bandages around his body, demanding to see his grandfather. He pushed through the guild and found his grandfather's room. He took a deep breath before opening the door and walking in.

"Hey grandp-"

That's when he screamed, he screamed bloody murder.

-Line Break-

I woke up, blinking the sleep out of my eyes, that was a nice sleep. But now it's time to go and get some jobs, so I can pay rent. I'm already sort of a month late, so I really need the cash. Some of my blonde hair has gotten in my face, so I try to blow it away, to no avail. So, I settle on just pushing it aside with my hand.

"Hey grandp-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

I jump about two feet in the air and took to see this huge dude with bandages and shit. He's in this pimp coat and he looks really surprised. I think I look the same way. I stand up, he's a good five, six inches taller than me and larger by far. I'm not calling him fat or anything, I'm sure it's all muscle. I start backing away until I hit the wall. He's recovered from his shock and barrels over to be, lifting me up by my t-shirt collar. And that's when I realize, I'm 15, I'm 5'4'', I'm blonde, I'm not wearing any pants, and this random massive dude is picking me up.

So, I do what a real man would do and start screaming bloody murder. He puts a massive hand over my mouth, cutting off my screams. He looks me dead in the face and gets closer to me, gettin' all up in my grill.

"Where's my grandpa?" he growls.

He takes his hand off my mouth, but he's still holding me off the ground and this t-shirt is big, but it's riding up.I take a quick glance down, hallelujah, I'm wearing boxers, this could've gotten worse than it already is.

"I don't know" I say, shrugging my shoulders.

He gets even closer to my face, his breath stinks.

"What's your name?"

"Makarov, what's yours?"

He looks at me, shock written all over his face. And that's when the doors burst open and this horde of people come rushing in. Pimp jacket drops me, I wasn't expecting it, so I squeak as I hit the floor, like a squeaky toy. A woman with red hair pushes her way to the front, glaring at pimp jacket.

"Where's Makarov, Laxus?" she hisses.

So, that's his name. Then my brain registers that she said my name and I pop right up.

"I'm here!"

All eyes turn to me and I can feel my face turning into a tomato. A boy with pink hair and lots of bandages pushes through. He points at me.

"You're not Makarov"

I raise an eyebrow, huh.

"Uh, yeah I am. I'm Makarov, Fairy Tail wizard. Pleased to meet you all, but I kind of have to go get a job. I'm late in my rent and my landlord's gonna kill me if I don't get the money to him soon"

I start to head for the door, but am stopped by the red-head who also has a bright red face as do many of the other people. I look down and realize, I'm in my boxers and a rather large, orange t-shirt, I guess they weren't prepared for that. Another woman with long, white hair, but she's not old, pushes her way to the front.

"Makarov?"

"Yes?"

"Your wish just got granted."

"What?"
