Rapunzel – A Twist

Natsu was having a wonderful dream. He dreamt that he was surrounded by all the different types of food in the world.

So he wasn't very happy when his cat woke him up with a rather childish scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Natsu sat up. "What's the matter?! Is there a fight?"

Happy moved away from him, looking terrified. "Natsu," he whimpered. "Go…look in the mirror."

Natsu jumped out of his hammock and immediately tripped over something and fell flat on his face. "Ugh…" he groaned and stumbled over to the cracked mirror, wiped the dust off and stared at his reflection.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Hair. There was hair everywhere. He, the mighty fire dragon slayer Natsu, trained by the King of the Fire Dragons, Igneel, Salamander of Fairy Tail, strongest Dragon Slayer, destroyer of Zeref; looked like a girl!

Happy flew out of the window screaming something about being scarred for life.

Natsu quickly ran out of his hut and dashed towards Fairy Tail. He had to ask Lucy to get out her crab-spirit thingy to cut off his lengthened hair!

Finally, he reached the guild. Natsu threw open the doors and roared, "EVERYBODY!"

It wasn't a wise choice. As soon as everybody looked at him, they roared with laughter. Lucy clutched her stomach and tears ran down her face.

When everybody finally, finally calmed down, Gray taunted Natsu, as expected. "Well, Flame Brain? Did you cast another spell without properly researching it first?"

"No!" Natsu cried desperately. "I just woke up and found myself like this! Luce, I need your crab-spirit to help me!"

"Right," Lucy said and took out a golden key. "Gate of the Giant Crab, I open thee: Cancer!"

Cancer appeared and Lucy swiftly gave him instructions. Cancer then began to cut and cut and cut and cut and cut and cut and cut until Natsu' s hair was normal again.

"Thanks, Cancer," Lucy said brightly. "You may go now."

"It was a pleasure-ebi," Cancer said and disappeared.

Lucy turned to face Natsu and let out a shriek. "What?! It's grown back again?!"

Erza stepped forward. "Let me try, then," she said and summoned a hundred swords. Natsu screamed, you know, in a totally manly way, and tried to run away, bit Erza caught him soon enough.

Let's just say it wasn't pretty, and Natsu's hair was like that for the rest of his life. Happy was never seen again because he was too scared of the Natsu with long hair.

And they all lived happily ever after!

The End

(A/N): How is it? Please review. This idea just popped into my head one day. I honestly have no idea where it came from (no pun intended) I wrote it down in a notebook, but was too lazy to type for some reason. Anyway, adieu! Until we meet again, folks.
