Chapter 2: Blue's Welcome Party
"Annnnd, done!" Sanji hollered.
Sanji put the finishing touches on a vanilla cake with blue icing.
Today, the gang were gonna celebrate Blue's welcoming with cake.
Isogai and Sanji were on cake baking and detail.
The cake has vanilla frosting, blue letters named "BLUE" made from blue icing, and several red and white birthday candles.
"Blue will love this." Isogai said.
"You bet." Sanji said.
"Just hope Luffy-san doesn't eat it for himself." Isogai commented.
"Don't worry, he has a massive sweet tooth that gives him stomachaches when he eats anything too sweet." Sanji explained.
Isogai laughed sheepishly.
(A/N: Didn't want to leave Luffy's sweat tooth problems in this!)

Outside on the deck, Blue is currently playing kick ball with Natsu, Luffy, Ichigo, Nagisa, Happy and Blizzard.
"Pass and kick!" Ichigo hollered.
Ichigo kicked the ball to Nagisa, who intercepted and passed to Blizzard.
"Fetch!" Blizzard hollered, swinging his tail at the ball.
The ball aimed to Luffy, who kicked the ball to Natsu.
Natsu used his head to intercept and kick to Happy.
"That doesn't count!" Ichigo and Nagisa exclaimed in unison.
"Sure it does." Natsu said.
"Shishishi!" Luffy laughed.
"Here, Blue!" Happy hollered.
Happy passed the ball to Blue.
Blue intercepted the ball and used her legs to kick the ball to Ichigo.
Sadly, the speed of the ball was too fast as it hit Ichigo's head hard-core and fell down.
Natsu, Luffy and Happy laughed at the sight.
"A little too overboard, kiddo?" Blizzard asked, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Why? You said to use your legs to kick the ball." Blue replied.
"Not HIT the ball like a donkey would." Blizzard commented.
"I'm not a donkey!" Blue exclaimed.
"Blue's got power. But has little restraint." Nagisa thought.
Nagisa's still glad to have a strong pet for so long.
"By the way, where's everyone else?" Nagisa asked.
The boys noticed no one is outside on the deck.
"Good question." Happy commented.
Chiba and Hayami appeared from the door.
"Hey, guys. Come inside." Hayami explained.
"We've got something for Blue." Chiba explained.
The boys and Blue were wildly confused.
"Something for Blue?" Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Nagisa and Blue thought in unison.
"And be sure to cover Blue's eyes. It's a surprise." Hayami explained.
Chiba and Hayami went back inside.
"A surprise?!" Natsu, Happy and Luffy exclaimed in unison, excited.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Ichigo asked, having a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Nagisa replied, also having a sweat drop on his forehead.
"Wonder what surprise it could be?" Blizzard and Blue asked in unison.

Happy closed Blue's eyes to prevent her from seeing.
"What's the surprise?" Blue asked.
"You'll see." Happy replied.
"It's better to show than tell. Though I'm still not sure what is?" Blizzard asked.
Blue pouted.
Natsu and Luffy began to feel very hungry all of a sudden.
"I wonder if there's food to eat?" Natsu asked.
"So hungry…" Luffy muttered.
"Can you two not think about food for a few minutes?" Ichigo asked.
"Hey. We're almost there." Nagisa explained.
Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Blizzard, Ichigo, Nagisa and Blue made it to the kitchen.
And boy there WAS a surprise…
"WELCOME TO THE TEAM, BLUE!" Lucy, Nami, Orihime, Kaede, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Romeo, Juvia, Gajeel, Lily, Levy, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, Rukia, Uryu, Chad, Renji, Karma, Sugino, Isogai, Maehara, Okuda, Kanzaki, Nakamura, Kataoka, Okano, Yada, Kimura, Sugaya, Fuwa, Chiba, Hayami and Terasaka shouted in unison.
The whole gang were sitting in the kitchen with bowls of pretzels, potato chips, and shrimp with cocktail sauce; the birthday cake with three bowls of different kinds of candy and two bowls of pudding and peanut butter each; ten slabs of steak, chicken and lamb with BBQ sauce; two bowls of fruit and vegetable salad, and 46 cups with 5 large cups for drinks: water, soda (Sprite and CoCa-Cola), Booze and Milk).
Blue became extremely touched with joy.
"E-Everyone…!" Blue hollered.
Blizzard chuckled.
"Reminds me of my welcoming party, huh, Luffy?" Blizzard asked.
Luffy was too distracted to see food.
"FOOD~!" Luffy shouted.
Luffy attempted to get food, but Nami and Sanji stopped him.
"Hold your horses, gummy bear!" Nami hollered.
"Let Blue have the first bite!" Sanji hollered.
Without warning, Blue called dibs by getting some lamb in an instant.
"She's fast!" Kimura hollered.
"Someone's hungry, huh?" Karma asked.
"Wolves do love lamb." Rukia commented.
"Let's dig in!" Kaede hollered.
"To Blue!" Erza hollered.
"TO BLUE!" The gang shouted in unison.

In five minutes, the party went crazy with everyone enjoying themselves.
Natsu, Luffy and Blue were eating three giant pieces of steak (one of them cooked by Natsu's fire to taste better) while Lucy, Nami and Blizzard watched in embarrassment, Juvia was swooning over a half-naked Gray, who's drinking some ice cold water, Kaede was eating her pudding like no tomorrow and Nagisa, Karma and Okuda watched with half-smiled expressions, Zoro was drinking his booze with Renji while Robin eating her plate of fruit salad, Sanji was fawning over all the ladies, only to be silenced by Rukia's kick to the face, Ichigo was eating a plate of chips with a calm pace, Erza and Kataoka were eating pieces of the birthday cake with some strawberries and apple slices added to it, Brook was playing flute, Happy was eating fish, Franky did robot voices which got Usopp, Chopper, Romeo, Wendy, Sugino, Kimura, Sugaya, Yada and Fuwa very excited, Orihime, Hayami, Chiba, Uryu, Chad and Juvia were having a friendly chat, as well was Isogai with Maehara, Okano, Carla, Nakamura and Kanzaki, and Gajeel was having an arm wrestling contest with Terasaka while Lily and Levy watched.
The party was a blast and Blue loved it to her heart's content.
"Now for a song!" Brook hollered.
"So cool~!" Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Kaede, Romeo, Wendy, Usopp, Chopper, Orihime, Sugino, Maehara, Nakamura, Yada, Kimura, Sugaya and Fuwa hollered in unison.
"Get ready for-" Brook hollered, before being pushed away by Gajeel with a blue guitar in one hand and a microphone in the other.
"I go first, Bones! Best Friend, HERE WE GO!" Gajeel shouted.
"That's rude!" Brook exclaimed.
The Fairy Tail mages became horrified.
"NOT THAT SONG!" Gray, Romeo and Levy exclaimed in unison.
"He's not gonna…" Sugino, Okuda, Maehara, Nakamura, Kataoka, Okano, Fuwa and Terasaka thought in unison, stunned.
"Colorful, colorful…" Gajeel sang.
"Shooby doo bop~!" Gajeel sang.
"Tremble with love, steel grey metallic!" Gajeel sang.
As Gajeel continues to sing, almost everyone comically turned to stone, except for a few.
"Gajeel." Levy said.
"Now that's a singer!" Franky hollered.
"He's good!" Terasaka hollered.
"Show them, Gajeel-kun!" Juvia hollered.
"Rock on!" Renji hollered.
"Doo doo doo… Shalala…" Gajeel sang.
"Shooby doo bop! Shalala…" Gajeel sang.
"Bite into it, hard! Sweet honey…" Gajeel sang.
"I knew that song sucks!" Natsu hollered, covering his ears in futility.
Natsu was soon met Gajeel's guitar hitting his face.
"Got a problem, Salamander?!" Gajeel asked, in an angry manner.
"You're asking for it!" Natsu exclaimed.
Natsu and Gajeel clashed comically.
"Shooby doo bop!" Gajeel sang.
"I've had it with your Shodo-boop-a-!" Natsu hollered.
"It's Shooby do bop, you idiot!" Gajeel hollered.
Natsu and Gajeel generate a dust cloud from their fight.
"Here we go again." Lucy muttered.
A flying mug hit Natsu's face.
"Which one of you wise guys threw that!?" Natsu asked, in an angry manner.

Gray rose from his chair and advancing towards Natsu, bumping into Erza and Kataoka, forcing them to drop their cakes.
"Natsu! Quit screwing around on the Sunny!" Gray hollered.
Erza and Kataoka became horrified at their dropped cakes.
"My… cake…" Erza and Kataoka said in unison, deeply sad at their pieces on the floor.
Sanji stepped on the pieces without warning, causing the two girls to scream.
"YOU SHITTY IDIOTS! TAKE IT OUTSIDE – THEY'RE LADIES IN HERE!" Sanji shouted, in a flaming rage.
However, the Straw Hat cook was soon met with a dual kick to the face.
"SILENCE!" Erza and Kataoka shouted in unison.
Before long, all hell breaks loose in the kitchen as Natsu and Gajeel's fight escalated to the point Luffy, Ichigo, Gray, Erza, Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Brook, Renji, Sugino, Maehara, Kataoka, Okano, Fuwa and Terasaka joined in the mix, causing chaos.
Everyone else stood back by hiding in various spots.
"I should've known this would happen." Lucy commented.
"Yeah…" Nami and Kaede muttered.
Nagisa laughed sheepishly.
Happy and Blizzard sighed.
Blue became deadpanned.
"This SURE was a welcoming party." Blue thought.

It was now nighttime; the fighting ceased and everyone went to sleep to ease up.
Blue was sleeping with Nagisa and Kaede in the kitchen together.
Blue smiled in her sleep.
"This is my home. With my new family." Blue thought.
Blue's new life begins.
I added in Gajeel's song that people don't like. It wasn't easy reading the lyrics or how to type them the best I could.
