A/N: Sorry for the late post. My brother challenged me to write an action fic. for him. The little booger better like it! Also, it's vacation so we've been busy making this summer 'educational' and going on camping trips with no wi-fi. T.T
Recently, I've been bugging my friend, to update her story. She's being a lazy ass, but can't we all empathize? Anyways, I want her to update her Austin and Ally story. Highly recommend it! It's entitled, Captive Bride by oh-tangled. Bug her for me?
BitterSweetCrazy: Thanks for the suggestion. What I meant was I that I didn't know which pairing should triumph in the end! Decisions, decisions, decisions! Why must it be so difficult! I hope that you like the effects of the potion though.
I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL. MASHIMA HIRO DOES
Lucy allowed the enticing smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies fill her nostrils. She had baked a fresh batch of homemade cookies for Juvia as a thank you gift. They weren't as pretty or decorated as the sugar cookies that Juvia made for them.
Everyone was tired from the mission. The mission wasn't too bad. It was just to get rid of a bunch of trolls that was disturbing a small village. However, Gray and Natsu decided to turn it into a contest to see which one would defeat the most trolls since Erza wasn't there to triumph over them. Lucy barely survived it with the help of Aires and Virgo. The challenge was to get the two to stop fighting when a giant troll came to the picture. Everything went well other than a few scratches- nothing that Wendy can't patch up. Damn troll tried to cook them in a giant pot. Lucy didn't know what was in the concoction but she made sure to scrub herself clean of it.
Juvia surprised Team Natsu at Lucy's house last night. The rain woman never broke into her house before. There she was with a bag of cookies for them. Juvia made Gray cookies that looked very similar to him. He even got cookies in shapes of hearts and ones that looked like Juvia too. It even had his insignia and his two scars just in the right place. Natsu also received cookies that looked like him with his pink hair and scaly scarf. Happy received fish cookies, and Lucy received cookies that looked similar to her. She even received a note that read: Gray-sama is mine. Again, Lucy had to assure Juvia that there were no romantic feelings between her and the ice mage.
Juvia left with a big smile and grin on her face that left Lucy rather confused that night. It was rather creepy eating something that looked a lot like you. Lucy made a mental note to ask Juvia how she was able to get all the details in the chibi shaped cookies. She was unable to eat her own cookies however because her two partners and cats decided to play with them have their mini wars with them. Lucy still couldn't believe how the two idiots managed to ruin her table with a mini cookie war.
Gray left early that night saying that he was feeling pain in his chest. Natsu crashed on her bed that night, again.
Speaking of Natsu…
Where is he?
Happy flew over the city of Magnolia looking for his pink haired partner. The catamander was worried for his friend. Natsu would never leave him alone without telling him where he went. There was only one place that Happy knew where Natsu would be for sure if he wasn't eating at the guild.
"Lucy! Lucy!" Happy cried as he flew into her apartment through the open window. "Is Natsu here?"
"No," Happy heard her say from the kitchen. He heard Lucy run up the stairs and saw her food go wide with shock. "My room!"
Lucy let out a loud scream as she plunged her foot into Happy's face with her famous Lucy kick. Happy's head crashed onto the wall and his body fell limp to the floor. It took him by surprise because Lucy had stopped doing that since it's become a regular basis thing. Lucy should be used to their intrusions and sleep overs.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my room, naked?" the blond mage yelled.
"Aye Lucy, what's wrong with you?" the blue cat cried. He rubbed his cheek where he felt the pain. "It's me, Happy!"
"You aren't Happy at all! Happy's a cat," Lucy told him.
"I am an exceed," he corrected. "And you don't mind it when Gray comes to your house already naked."
"Happy?" Lucy's eyes went big as realization hit. The voice was exactly the same but his form completely puzzled him. "Is that really you?"
"Aye!" he exclaimed. "What's wrong with you today?"
"It's more of what's wrong with you," Lucy stated.
"Why? Do I have fish on my face?" he asked as he began to wipe his face with his hands.
Wait, hands?
Happy began to feel for his whiskers, they weren't there. His face was smooth and soft instead of that furry touch. His hands and arms weren't covered in blue fur but with tan skin. Instead of paws, he had two hands with long fingers and feet with toes! He didn't have his cute cat ears on top of his head. Instead, it was silky blue hair. His belly lacked his white fur. Instead, his body was in a slim teen's body. His cute little pink nose was gone and replaced with a button nose. Why was it gone? It was his best feature! Worst yet, he didn't have his tail! Oh, the agony! Happy ran to the bathroom to see his reflection. It was Happy's turn to scream.
Lucy came running to Happy's aid as she heard his blood curling scream.
"Don't look at me!" Happy cried as he covered Lucy's face with his hands. "I'm ugly. Carla won't ever like me now!"
"Don't be ridiculous," Lucy began, "it's not like Carla paid attention to you."
"Now's not the time for teasing," Happy cried with tears streaming down his face. The cat was literally crying like he just dropped perfectly good fish cooked passed perfection.
"You don't understand what it's like, Lucy!" Happy cried as he pouted by himself in a corner. "You don't know what it's like to lose your cuteness. No one gives you second glances because you're heavy and mean."
"Shut it, damn cat!" Lucy yelled as he threw a towel at him. "Besides, how did you not notice the big change when you woke up this morning?"
"I don't know," he answered as he wrapped it around his hips. He scratched his head, pondering how he could have missed all the signs. "I did my daily routine. Now that you mention it, I did feel colder when I woke up this morning and people looked at me differently today."
Well, it was Happy's fault for not noticing that he had turned into a human boy. People probably gave him weird glances because he looked like Cupid without his diaper and arrows.
"Maybe I ate a bad fish," he stated.
"I don't think it was a bad fish," Lucy told him.
"How do you know?" he countered.
"I'm pretty sure," Lucy answered.
"Maybe Wendy can fix this!" Happy exclaimed. At least he could use magic, still. Instantly, he sprouted his wings and headed towards the window.
"Wait! Happy!" Lucy cried but it was too late. Happy exited her house leaving the towel on the floor and the only clothing that he wore was his green knapsack.
"Can't you two be quiet?" an oddly familiar voice said. "I'm trying to sleep."
"Natsu?"
A pink creature emerged from her pink bed sheets. Lucy's jaw dropped and her eyes grew wide for the second time that hour.
"What's with that face?" he asked.
Natsu hadn't slept well that night at all. He felt a little queasy from last night for some odd reason. Still, he gave her a grin. Last night, he couldn't sleep because he felt sick and a bit light headed early that morning. He began to walk towards the bathroom to puke the contents that were begging to come up but he wouldn't allow it to. Lucy wouldn't be happy to wake up to the smell of vomit nor would she be happy waking at two in the morning. Natsu curled up in a corner, holding his stomach till sleep finally found him and now his morning was ruined.
Lucy looked at him with a horrified expression.
That unmistakable salmon pink color, dark onyx eyes, toothy grin, and signature white scarf.
"Natsu?" she asked.
How did this happen? she thought. He's a... He' s a..
"Hey, Luce, did you get taller?" Natsu asked as he stood on her bed, but that wasn't the Natsu she knew.
"You're a pink cat!" she exclaimed.
Juvia couldn't wait to see Gray on this lovely morning. She could see the event enfold before her eyes. She would stand casually behind her pillar like she did every day. Gray would approach her, get down on one knee and hold her hand. He would gaze passionately at her eyes. His cheeks tinted a rosy pink. He would confess his undying love to her like she always imagined.
"Juvia," his voice silky smooth, "you are the one for me. I have always been in love with you! Please bear my children!"
"Juvia does not know what to say," she would reply. "This is happening all too fast."
"Say yes! Please, Juvia. I can't live another day without you," he would hold her close to his icy body. His cool embrace making her cheeks heat up.
"Juvia has always loved you," she answered.
Then they would share a beautiful, passionate kiss filled with love.
Juvia's imagination ran rampant. She began to imagine what their twelve children would look like. They would be the most beautiful creatures in the world, more beautiful than Lucy's babies. They would have a gorgeous wedding. She would get her happy ending with the man of her dreams.
"Gray-sama," she sighed as thought about him.
Just thinking about him made her smile.
A cold hand reached out and grabbed hers. It was kind and loving but it wasn't Gray's hand.
"Juvia-chan," he said her name cooly.
Juvia turned her head to face the man who she dreaded to see. She wasn't expecting him at all. The man that held her Gray's attention! She did not want to see him at all. This guy couldn't get a hint! No matter how many times she told him that her heart belonged to Gray, he would try to weasel his way into her already complicated love triangle.
"Lyon-san!" she exclaimed with much surprise. "What are you doing here?"
It didn't matter, though. Today was the day that Gray was going to be hers. The apothecary promised it or her money back!
Gray was going to be finally hers.
Gray woke up feeling a lot better minus the pain he felt in his back. He let out a ferocious yawn and stretched out his arms. He got out of his bed throwing the covers off his body and began to wipe the sleepy stuff out of his eyes and began to walk to his bathroom to get ready for today's events.
He opened his eyes and looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked like crap. Gray was not a morning person at all. He opened his cabinet and began to daily routine to wash his face and brush his teeth. Once he was done, he looked at himself in the mirror. Gray noticed that his normal spiky, messy hair was significantly longer than before. He wasn't a fan of long hair. It was fine since he could always cut, but something was definitely wrong.
"The hell?" he said in a confused daze.
Something didn't look quite right. That couldn't be him. Gray touched the mirror. He did double takes at the mirror. He walked away and came back to see if that was right. He looked closer at the mirror. His fingers touched his face. His scar on his forehead, the one right above his left eye was there. His eyes were still droopy but they looked bigger and when did his eyelashes get so long? His skin seemed a bit fairer. He touched his cheeks with his hands and began to pull at his face to see if it was truly him. His face looked rounder and his defined jaw wasn't there anymore. His guild mark was in the same spot. He placed a hand on it.
Wait.
"This better be a damn dream," he muttered as he ran his fingers in his now long, and silky raven hair.
He touched his chest again right where his guild mark was located.
Gray screamed in horror when he looked at his nude self.
His abs were gone, his waist was significantly smaller, and his body was curvy.! Also, there were things that were definitely not there when he went to bed last night. In fact, those things hanging on his chest shouldn't even exist on his body!
A/N: I wish I could say the next one will be on time, but I'm going on vacation, again. I wanted to post what I could before disappearing again for 3-4 days. I'm trying my best to update on a regular basis. But, the next one will definitely be longer than this.
ATTENTION: I'm being indecisive as I plan the end. I know it's far from it but it would help a lot if you put your input so I can wrap it nicely together. What do you think the pairings should be in the end? You can vote on my poll or write it in the reviews or PM me. Whichever has the most votes win! You could vote even do all three and get more points for your pairing. I know that guests can't vote on polls, but you could review your vote and I'll add it. To guests, PM(s), and reviewers: you have the power to waiver the results on the poll.
Here are the options: Remember, you can pick two that you would like.
Natsu x Lucy
Natsu x Lisanna
Gray x Lucy
Gray x Juvia
Lyon x Juvia
Please vote/review/rate. It would mean a lot to me. Voting will end when it's 2-4 chapters from the end which is far from here but I want it to wrap up nicely in the end.
You're input will be greatly appreciated.
Next up: The guild's reaction to the transformation. At least Gray knows why his back is hurting and I think Natsu would look cute as a pink cat with his scarf. Oh, and I think Happy should get clothes before he picks up Gray's bad habit.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
