Let's Save Christmas

Summary: Everybody in Fairy Tail loves Christmas. Well, except Natsu. But what happens when Team Natsu meet Santa Claus and it's up to them to save the holiday before midnight?

Chapter 1: Christmas Eve

It was a snowy Christmas Eve in Magnolia Town. Everyone was doing whatever he or she could to get ready for the greatest holiday of the year. People are walking down the streets doing their Christmas shopping before the big day.

In Fairy Tail, everyone is putting up their Christmas decorations to their guild. Judith, Mirajane, Lisanna, Elfman and Wendy are putting decorations on the extremely huge Christmas tree that is placed in the middle of the hall, Lucy, Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, and Carl are setting up the Christmas lights around the pillars, Happy, Charle and Pantherlily are setting up the lights on the ceiling and Darren, Gray, Erza, Laxus, Freed and Evergreen are cleaning the tables and chairs. Yup, everybody is preparing for Christmas Day. Well…almost everyone.

Natsu Dragneel was sitting at the bar, folding his arms and narrows his eyes as he watches everyone prepare for Christmas. He couldn't believe this time of the year has come again, and he hates it.

"What's wrong Natsu?" Darren asked while cleaning the bar table. "Are you supposed to be happy that Christmas Day is coming tomorrow?"

Natsu sighed and turns to Darren. "I never like Christmas." He said to him.

"Why don't you like it?" Darren asked as he stops working.

"Because he doesn't like snow and cold, that's why." Erza said to Darren as she walks over.

"Exactly! My body always freezes like hell every Christmas!" Natsu said as he wraps himself while shivering.

"Maybe you should, oh I don't know, put on a jacket so you won't feel so cold, flame-brain!" Gray smirked as he turns to Natsu while cleaning the table.

"What did you say, ice breath?" Natsu yelled back.

"STOP!" Erza shouted.

"Yes…" Natsu and Gray immediately quiet down.

"And Gray, put on some clothes." Erza said to Gray. Gray looks down and screamed as he realized he's just wearing his underwear.

Natsu laughed. "Says the guy who always strips himself." He turns back to Darren. "And besides, during the holiday season, it's hard to find something hot to eat. And people only like Christmas because they made up some imaginary old man named Santa Claus who goes into people's houses and leave presents under their trees. Yeah right, well he's not real!"

"Come on Natsu, at least it's also the time of the year where all your family and nakama hang out together and have fun, right?" Darren smiled.

"Not when the place we are hanging out in gets cold!" Natsu yelled.

"Right." Darren sighed.

While that's going on, Judith and Wendy are having a conversation of their own while decorating the tree.

"Natsu looks really upset during the holiday season." Wendy said to Judith sadly.

"I know. I don't understand why not all people like Christmas." Judith said.

"Exactly. Everybody should be happy during Christmas time. Not to mention, at midnight, Santa Claus is going to deliver our presents, right?" Wendy said, perking up.

"Wendy-san, you do know that Santa isn't real, right?" Lisanna said while she and Elfman are putting on the light bulbs around the tree.

"No! I believe Santa is real!" Wendy protested. "If he isn't, where do we get our presents from?" She sighed as she puts on an angel statue on the bottom of the tree. "My wish is that I could meet Santa Claus in person. Then, I can thank him personally for giving us a wonderful holiday and all the presents in the world. And I also wish that everybody will be happy during his presence."

"Oh my, you really have big wishes, don't you Wendy?" Judith smiled.

"She sure does, Judith-san." Mirajane chuckled in amusement as she puts on the golden star on top of the tree.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Levy are wrapping Christmas lights around a pillar. "What do you want for Christmas, Lucy?" Levy asked.

"I want some beautiful dresses and a beautiful ball pen to write my novel." Lucy smiled.

"Sounds nice." Levy smiled back. "I want a new bookshelf. I still have many boxes of books which I haven't shelved yet and I couldn't find any more room to put them in."

Lucy turns to Juvia who is putting a mistletoe, tied with a red ribbon, on a pillar. "What about you Juvia?" Lucy asked.

Juvia sighed and turns to Lucy. "Juvia want…" Suddenly, she burst into tears. "No, it's impossible that Juvia's wish will come true."

"Juvia, wait! I'm so sorry!" Lucy said but Juvia quickly run off, sobbing and wailing. Lucy sighed heavily.

"I want lots of fish for Christmas!" Happy said as he and Charle fly over to Lucy.

"It's fish all you ever think of?" Charle asked.

"That's what I'm thinking to." Lucy groaned.

"Okay guys!" Everybody stop what they are doing and turn to the stage where Makarov is at. "It's time to sing some Christmas Carols!"

Everybody cheered as Mirajane got off the stool and runs over to the stage. She sat down in front of the piano and yelled to everyone, "Minna! Let's sing together!"

Natsu groaned heavily as everyone in the guild start singing 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.' He quickly got up from his seat and runs off upstairs.

Darren, Judith, Lucy, Gray and Erza seeing this, decides to follow after Natsu.


Darren, Judith, Lucy, Gray and Erza all arrived at the rooftop and sees Natsu sitting on the rooftop while looking up at the night sky. They all walk over to him.

"You okay Natsu?" Lucy asked him in concern as they all sat with him.

"Yeah fine." Natsu replied.

"Come on Natsu, Santa's not going to come to your house if you are upset." Judith said.

"Santa isn't real." Natsu said to Judith. "When I was a child, I always thought Santa would come to my house and give me what I want on Christmas. Now that I've grown up, I realized I was an idiot back then."

"And today, you still are." Gray smirked.

"What did you say?" Natsu snapped.

"Ahem!" Erza said. Natsu and Gray quickly quiet down.

"Don't be sad Natsu. Maybe you didn't believe in him hard enough." Darren said.

Natsu snorted. "The day I believe in Santa Claus is if a huge meteorite falls from the sky!"

"What's that?" Lucy cried, pointing at the sky.

Everybody turns to the sky and drop their jaws in horror as they see a huge beam of white light falling from the sky.

"What did you do, flame brain!" Gray yelled horrified.

"I didn't ask for this!" Natsu shouted in terror.

They watched as the beam of light landed outside the town of Magnolia.

"Come on! Let's go!" Judith said. Everyone nodded.


Everybody ran out of town and enter the forest. They head their way to the spot where the light has landed.

"What do you guys think fell from the sky?" Lucy asked everyone as they ran.

"I hope it's not aliens." Erza said, shivering at the thought of them.

"Natsu? Where is it?" Darren asked Natsu, who is using his scent to find their destination.

"There!" Natsu said, pointing northwards. They kept running until they see a silhouette in the distance. They stopped.

"Who is that?" Judith asked.

"Let's take a closer look." Darren said. Everyone nod their heads to each other as quietly walk over to a nearby bush and hide.

"What did you see Darren?" Erza asked as Darren slightly pops his head out of the bush. Darren, using his long-sight ability, takes a closer look at the silhouette.

"I see…a person…who is obese…wearing red…has a white beard and…" Darren gasps and widens his eyes.

"What is it?" Lucy asked anxiously.

"He's walking over to a sleigh full of reindeers." Darren finished. Everybody gasped and widens their eyes.

"It can't be…" Natsu said in disbelief.

"I know you kids are watching me." The person said.

Everybody got out of the bush and drop their jaws upon seeing who it is.

"SANTA CLAUS?"
