Lily's Night of Drunken Matchmaking
Standard disclaimers apply. Rated T for the most part until the end of chapter 3. M after that.
Chapter 1: An ill-fated drinking competition
It was another one of those long and rambunctious nights at Fairy Tail.
"Oi, Mira!" called Gray, "Another one of those shots over here!"
"Another for me too!" chimed in Natsu from his seat across the bar, competition gleaming in his eyes.
"Stop copying me, you flame-brain!" Gray retorted.
"Eh, I could keep drinking all night, you ice bastard!"
"Aye sir!" chimed in Happy.
"There's no way you'd beat me, you'd pass out first-"
"Another for me as well," added Gajeel as he arrived with Pantherlily, walking up to lean across the bar and unwittingly cutting into the bickering between Gray and Natsu.
"Alright! Three more of the same!"
"Four more of the same!"
"Idiots," muttered Gajeel to Mira.
"Gajeel, get out of the way, I'm gonna beat that ice princess!" said Natsu.
A punch aimed at Gray grazed past Gajeel's shoulder. Gajeel stumbled sideways into Gray, causing Gray to trip over Lily's tail.
"Alright, that's it," said Gajeel menacingly, "you dragged my cat into this. I'm going to beat you both! Mira! Five more of the same!"
Lily rolled his eyes. Gajeel could be such a hypocritical idiot at times.
The two dragon slayers and the ice mage downed drink after drink. Happy and Lily were even coerced into drinking with them, although they consumed far less. Lily watched in amusement as Happy fell asleep in Natsu's lap and as Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray continued to down alcohol and trade insults.
Mirajane smiled her cryptic smile as she prepared their final round of drinks. As Pantherlily sipped his fourth drink and nursed his injured tail, he watched the scene before him unfold. He was the only one to notice that Mira had added a little something extra into each of their drinks.
As the three men drank the most recent drinks that Mira had prepared, Lily looked on with anticipation.
A few minutes later, they all simultaneously collapsed, passed out cold on the guild hall floor.
Lily glanced up at Mira who was still smiling her calm and vaguely sinister smile.
"It would be such as shame just to leave them on the floor like that for the next two hours until they wake up," said Mira, her smile seeming eerily diabolical, "Wouldn't you agree Pantherlily?"
Lily, who had had a few too many drinks for his small form, grinned back an identical diabolical grin. The alcohol was making him think more creatively than usual. He had three passed-out mages at his disposal for the next two hours. His mind swirled with the possibilities.
This night was going to get interesting.
A/N: This is short because it is just the prologue. I've already written the next few chapters and they are much longer and packed with Lily-instigated craziness. I will post the next chapter in the next few days. I hope you enjoy this! Let's see what Lily can come up with. I just picture him with his arms crossed, trademark smirk in place while thinking devious thoughts. This is going to be fun.
