"I'm going to check on the boys, just in case." She said and left the room going to knock on the boys one, across to theirs. No one answered. This time Erza knocked, the metal must've alerted them of Erza's presence. Their was shuffling inside, groaning, some high squeaks and someone jumping? Although the jumping was very soft and light. Barley audible. Erza raised an eyebrow and kicked the door open.
"Oh my god..." They all said in unison.
What they saw inside was beyond believable.
"This is..." Erza started, looking for the correct words to use.
"SO CUTE!" The remaining three girls squealed in unison crouching down like a command was given by Erza and swiping the tiny creatures into their arms. Erza just blinked. Once, twice, three times. But the images of girls fangirling and squishing the boys against their chests was not something she could easily get rid off. She expected Juvia to go crazy and snuggle Gray but she more or less thought Levy and Lucy would be able to stay calm. Clearly, she was wrong.
"Umm, girls..." Erza tried shouting over the loud squeals but to her disappointment, neither of the girls even flinched at Erza's panicked tone.
"YOU'RE SO CUTE! I NEVER THOUGHT THAT'S POSSIBLE!" Levy beamed excitedly, smothering the annoyed looking Gajeel.
"Lucy, ughh, y-you're... suffocating... mppfff-" Natsu tried telling Lucy off for her behaviour but when his face was squished between her two mountains, silencing him effectively he stopped, giving up for the first time in his life. Erza blushed at Lucy's odd behaviour. It surely wasn't like her to have Natsu's face in between her breasts.
"Gray-sama!" And the normal Juvia with Gray in her hands.
"What's going on here?" Erza questioned looking around confused. She felt a tug on her boot and she looked down staring into hazel eyes of someone important for her. The more she stared the redder her cheeks started becoming, matching her scarlet hair. She crouched down, unable to contain the excitement that build up in her. She swiped Jellal of his feet and held him at arms length, studying him closely. He had a soft pink tint to his cheeks when her eyes scanned him all over.
"You're..." She started and he gulped. "Cute."
And the almighty Erza turned away, blushing like never before and embarrassed of her too girly for her liking, comment.
The boys were beyond what they called cute. They were fluffy. And cute. And adorable. And just breath taking. It was like a switch in the female wizards heads was turned on making them be glued to the boys, who they were attached to in one way or another. Forgetting everything else. Even Gajeel was considered cute. And that tall, mountain-muscle dude who intimidated every single person he met, wasn't exactly on the list of 'Top Wizard Men I Want As A Boyfriend'. He had cat ears, sticking out of his long spiky black hair. His body the size of a baby, with a black tail coming out of his shrunk brown pants and was trailing from side to side, clearly displeased at the attention he was getting. His hands were paws, much like his legs which were bare. And he indeed was labelled a cute human-cat.
Natsu, who was now breathing the air and not smelling Lucy's breasts had a very annoyed look on his baby-like face with a vain pulsing on his forehead. Lucy now holding him at arms length, and he was still. Too still for Natsu. His tail moving softly, which made the blonde giggle at his silly behaviour. His lips pulled down into a frown and his pink ears twitching ever so lightly. His tail was red, and wasn't exactly matching his pink mop but rather his fiery magic and personality. Still cute. Even when he started screaming around and letting small puffs of fire escape his baby mouth. Which made him even more cute.
Gray was annoyed. Or maybe more than that. He expected the change to be the least of his problems as he had Juvia as a bigger one. She was smothering him against her chest and he was helpless and she was most likely taking advantage of that. He had his black pants on, which from a dark tail swung and black cat ears that were flat against his head. He could only hope that Juvia wouldn't strangle him by accident. And that was very, very likely to happen. Especially with her obsession. Adding cuteness to that, was like killing Gray and at one point he thought that death would've been so much better than a fangirling water wizard.
Jellal was rather calm, considering the situation he was stuck in and all the loud squealing that was ringing in his ears. He was still in Erza's too big hands in his eyes. Although, the fact that he was tiny was not surprising that he thought her hands were rather big. Two blue ears were perked up listening to every little detail around him but his hazel eyes were focused on Titania's blushing face. Never did he dream, he would come to live that day. She was cute. Although, no matter how arrogant that sounded, he thought he was much cuter in his current state. A blue tail, limp, hanging from his light brown pants and the dark green cloak that was around his shoulders. His small paws touching her wrists sending warm sensations through both System R slaves.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Natsu finally roared, his voice sounding more high than on daily basis.
"Salamander, you should've heard yourself!" Gajeel snorted, his voice also higher than normal.
"Like you're the one to talk." Gray muttered.
"SHUT UP, JERKS!" Natsu screamed, trying to get out of Lucy's grasp, but she slammed his back against her chest and slid her hands under his armpits locking them together at his chest. No escape route for him. Lucy seemed to have calmed down a bit, and decided to study closely the situation. Because 4 boys don't just randomly turn into human-cats.
"YOU WANNA GO, ASH FOR BRAINS?" Gray retorted and started fidgeting in Juvia's strong embrace.
"ANY TIME, ICE PRINCESS!"
"I sense a fight..." Erza growled, turning to glare at the two boys, but her expression softened. Cuteness overload. She was slowly turning into a fangirl.
"N-no! W-we're best buds!" Gray and Natsu shouted in unison, sweat dropping when Erza just smile sweetly. Gajeel snickered.
"That's good to hear." And with those words she stood up and the four girls walked over to the table sitting around it, although Juvia not quite finished wooing over Gray.
"What are we going to do?" Lucy asked.
"I have no idea, but at least Gajeel can feel cute. For once." Levy giggled with a blush.
Gajeel just snorted.
"You think it's the book?" Erza asked.
"What book?" Jellal asked, looking at the female representatives with a raised eyebrow.
"I found a book on the beach when I went to look for my keys..." Lucy trailed off, raising one hand to scratch her cheek in shame.
"But I'm the one who read the words out! Lu-chan is not at fault!" Levy defended.
"Shrimp, calm down. We're not mad. Just turn this around." Gajeel muttered and Levy smiled.
"TALK FOR YOURSELF METAL FREAK! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" Natsu roared, and was pinched in the cheek by Lucy.
"Shut up, we'll turn it around somehow. Although now you're not capable of destroying everything. Might leave you just the way you are at the moment." She grinned and he gulped.
"P-please d-don't!" Natsu whined.
"I'll have to think about it." She replied, with a wide grin.
"So, going back to our previous topic. What will we do?" Levy asked, playing with Gajeel's ears who surprisingly sat very still in her lap. Just his head peaking over the table.
"We should go back to the guild and have Freed help you look at the words. You should be able to figure it out." Lucy said, nodding her head in approval.
"I guess we are cutting our vacation short, huh?" Gray sighed.
"Gray-sama! Juvia believes you are perfect the way you are! DON'T CHANGE!" Juvia cried out hugging the boy, her eyes the shapes of hearts.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE A CAT FOREVER!" Gray shouted, sounding desperate.
"Don't worry Gray. We will try out best to find the answer to this mystery." Erza comforted. "If this won't happen, I will create you a special playground for cats inside the guild."
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" The cat boys shouted, not amused.
The girls just laughed.
Going back to Magnolia with boys turned into cats wasn't exactly what the girls wanted. Especially when their hearts melted at the sight of Natsu and Gajeel with their infamous motion sickness that took the better of them once they got on a train although Natsu tried his best to avoid the transportation. He somehow managed to survive the few hours on the train and was all fired up when he got off. It was more like all picked up when Lucy carried him towards the guild, but none paid attention. Except the by passers who would whisper that they're either cute or just plain weird. Some saying something about stupid teenagers experimenting with magic or something along those lines. Which held some truth.
"STOP STARING!" Natsu screeched and everyone giggled, making him flush deep crimson from anger and embarrassment.
"Don't go yelling in my ear. We're nearly at the guild." Lucy sighed. She was forced to hold him with one hand while she pulled the her luggage with the other. Erza managed to somehow fit the boys luggage into her rather exaggerated one, leaving no space for even a coin to fit in. Her pink Heart Kreuz suitcase, was enough to fit in everything. Erza somehow thought that bringing her entire clothing, and furniture sets along is essential. No one really knew why.
"Freed will help us out and we will put you back to normal. Although you are quite the cute pie." Levy giggled, whispering to Gajeel.
"Can we first drop our luggage off at our respective houses?" Lucy suggested, tired of pulling the suitcase.
"That's a good idea. Let's first stop at your house Lucy. I would like to put Natsu's stuff in your apartment." Erza said seriously, pulling the overly large trolley and heading towards Strawberry street.
"Eh? Why?" The celestial wizard questioned, walking beside her scarlet haired friend.
"You'll understand later." Was Erza's short reply, as she looked down at Jellal in her hands.
They got to Lucy's apartment and dropped of her luggage. She just quickly grabbed the mysterious book and they headed for Fairy Hills, since the remaining females all lived there and they boys luggage was also supposed to be kept there until they decide what to do with the overly excited boys when it came to fighting. They were soon moving casually towards the guild were the doors were open and a light atmosphere could be felt in the air. It was practically empty inside. It wasn't really a wonder since there has been a lot of job requests to be fulfilled.
"WE'RE BACK!" Lucy shouted alerting Lisanna and Mirajane who were chatting excitedly at a bar. Wendy, Carla, Lily and Happy were in the corner doing something. Upon hearing their friends names they all turned around. Mirajane and Lisanna gave off a set of high pitched squeals.
"Oh Mavis!" Mirajane squealed.
"What happened?" Wendy rushed over with the three exceeds that followed by, by using air and their wings.
"Pfft." Happy put his paws against his mouth trying to stifle a laugh. "You're a cat..." And he burst out laughing pointing his paw at Natsu who went raging.
"WHAT DID YA SAY, HAPPY?!" He bellowed.
"YOU'RE A CAT! A CAT THAT CAN'T FLY!" Happy laughed.
"Oh my, Natsu you're so cute!" Lisanna beamed taking him from Lucy's grasp (who unhappily gave him away) and started tickling him all over. "So cute."
"What happened?" Mirajane asked putting a hand against her cheek which was slowly turning pink.
"That's what we are trying to find out." Erza mused, walking in closer and sitting at one of the tables.
"Jellal(1), you look cute." Wendy sat across to Erza and dreamily stared at the young man.
"Why, thank you, Wendy." Jellal answered with a nod. Wendy giggled.
"Where's Freed?" Lucy asked, throwing the book on the table.
"He's on a job. He should be back in three days time." Mira said, scooting closer.
"Oh, I guess I should start doing it by myself." Levy said sadly, putting down Gajeel who shuffled his way to Lily who nodded in a silent greeting.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia wooed.
"Someone tell her to quit this." Lucy muttered darkly.
"Lucy is being weird." Happy purred flying by her side.
"SHUT IT!" She screamed.
"This is going to be such a pain in the ass." Lucy gritted her teeth slumping down on one of the seats.
"Let's do our best, Lu-chan!" Levy cheered.
"Yeah, Levy-chan." She answered.
With the corner of her eye she watched a grumpy Natsu being hugged by Lisanna.
Why didn't she like it?
She didn't know.
A/N; (1) Usually Wendy refers to people per '-san' but I noticed that when she addresses Jellal she uses casual name like with Carla avoiding the suffixes. Even if he's not the Jellal she knew when she was younger I think it suits her just saying his name plainly and not in a respectful way.
So; how was it guys?
The exams are getting the best of me.
I actually wrote this because of the total boost I got from Fairy Tail chapter 331. BE THANKFUL TO HIRO FOR THIS NEW CHAPPIE!
OMG! Has anyone read the chapter? NALU MOMENTS EVERYWHERE and a JERZA moment. No spoilers here; BUT OHMYGWAD! THAT WAS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE CHAPTER NO MATTER HOW MUCH FAN SERVICE WAS PUT IN THERE (and it wasn't just that, because there was some important factors that are needed for the plot to continue).
Anyway;
R+F?
Bye!
