I12Bfree: Hi, everyone! It's good to see you again! I have a few things to say before we start the story. First, I apologize for the extremely slow update of the story. I take a lot of time when I write and my busy schedule does not help at all. Still I will try to keep updating as constantly as possible. Secondly, thanks to those who reviewed, followed and favorited! I love you guys!
Happy: I'm back and I brought our guest for today!
I12Bfree: (excited) Who is it?
Laxus: Hey.
I12Bfree: (eyes pop out) LAXUS?!
Raijinshu: We're here too!
I12Bfree: (crouches down and whispers to Happy) Happy! Why the hell did you bring HIM? He's not even part of the story!
Laxus: You know...I can hear you.
I12Bfree: (talking like a robot) I sincerely apologize. You may start now.
Happy: You're talking like a psycopath.
I12Bfree: Eehhhhhh?
Papa,Popo,Pepe,Pupu,Popo(Bixlow's dolls): Psychopath~psychopath~
Laxus: Then I'll start now.
Raijinshu: Go, Laxus!
Laxus: I12Bfree does no-Hey! What's camera #2 doing!
I12Bfree: Excuse me?
Raijinshu: (starts shouting) Make sure you get this all on camera! You'll regret it if you don't get it right!
Laxus: (clears his throat) I12Bfree does not own Fairy Tail. She does not own the images she uses either.
Happy: Pfft! You own nothing.
I12Bfree: Shut up! (clears throat) We will start the story now.
"Natsu! Come back here!"
Even as she said that Natsu continued to run causing Lucy's temper to burst and run after him.
"Natsu! Come back!"
"No way!"
"Whhyy?"
"Cuz I know you would kick me in the face if I did."
"You kicked me first!"
"That was an accident!"
"How can you accidently kick someone?"
"I just can!"
"Natsu, come back right now and I won't kick you in the face!"
"Oh, Really?"
*kick*
"Thefuwkcjenwjnsn*g#kjzvjbw;mmmm!~"
"Oops, sorry," Lucy said as Natsu held his most vulnerable spot.
"At least it wasn't your face."
The two mages were currently on the way to meet their next companion of the story, the Tin Man. Although they had no idea if the Tin Man would be just another character of the story or one of their guildmates, they had decided on continuing the journey down the yellow brick road in order to get on with the story.
Lucy held her sides as she caught her breath from all the chasing while Natsu lay limp on the ground. It was pleasantly silent except for Lucy's panting and Plue's almost inaudible shivering.
Suddenly, the bushes beside them rustled, breaking the silence. All three stiffened and slowly, excrutiatingly slowly turned their heads to the source of the sound. The rustle continued, in sync with the rippling of the surface of the bushes. The teens froze with their eyes never leaving the movement among the bushes that so happened to be coming closer and closer. The rustling stopped altogether and then-
"Aye, sir!"
A small bundle leaped out from the bushes and landed on Natsu's already kicked spot causing him to pass out.
The bundle raised its head. It-he had blue fur and was wearing a plush lion costume, sporting a proud looking smile on his face as if he felt proud for what he had just done.
"Happy?!"
Happy turned and faced Lucy.
"I defeated a human! Aye!"
He started admiring himself and prodding Natsu simultaneously. Lucy realised something. "Are you the Cowardly Lion?"
"Cowardless lion." Happy corrected.
Lucy blinked."Then...Where's the Tin Man?"
- Somewhere deep in the woods
creak...Somebody please help...help me...
"Natsu! Come back here!"
At last!...A saviour!...Heeeeeeeeeellp...
"Natsu! Come back!"
I don't understand...Why can't they hear me?...
"No way!"
Their voices are fading...Oh no...hhhhhheeeeeeeeeeellllllllpppp...
"So it was you who landed on top of me?"
Natsu held a beaten up Happy in front of him.
"Aye...Sorry, Natsu..."
"And how come you have your memory back?" Natsu put the cat-lion down who slumped on the ground, covering his mouth.
Lucy stepped forward."I made you kiss him while you were unconscious."
"You- WHAT?!" Natsu gagged.
Happy sniffled. "My precious lips have been stolen."
Lucy patted Happy sympathetically. "Don't worry. I won't tell Charle about this."
Just then, the compass on Lucy's wrist started glowing yellow.
A voice flooded out of the compass.
"You are ready to move on the next stage."
"I am NEVER going to do that again." Natsu collasped to the floor due to his motion sickness.
"Oh come on. How can you get motion sickness in teleporting?" Lucy got to her feet and smoothed out her dress. Happy stared at the silver slippers on Lucy's feet.
"What are those slippers anyway?"
Lucy smiled.
"These?"
- A few minutes ago
"How on Earthland are we supposed to get to the next chapter?!" Natsu started to rampage. "I'm sick of these woods! I wanna get to the fighting arena right right now!"
At that Lucy stood up, hands on her hips. "Nobody said we were going to a fighting arena. And if you have time to get angry you might as well help me!"
Natsu moaned and started rolling on the floor, making Lucy's vein pop up."Help you with whaaaat?"
Happy plopped down next to Natsu and the two of them started rolling together. After a few moments Lucy sighed and joined them on the floor (except for the rolling part).
As if in cue, the compass glowed red and three words appeared:
'Dorothy's silver slippers'
- Back to present
"Aaaargh! Why are we in a forest again?! Where's the fighting arena?" Natsu starting raging around yet again and fell down.
"You should be thankful to Gurid-san that he helped us, Natsu. Or else we would still be in the first chapter." The blonde stood up and Happy sighed.
"Where did he get the idea of a fighting arena?"
Lucy grabbed Natsu's hand and tried to pull fire mage up. "Anyways, I think Gurid-san is so generous."
Back at the Public Library and Book Emporium of Magnolia, an old man and a silver haired mage was watching a television-like screen in a dark room, munching popcorn. The silver haired Mirajane spoke, "By the way Gurid-san, Why did you help them?"
Gurid answered, mouth full of caramel popcorn."I was just getting annoyed with them. I mean I told them I want to move on with the story quickly and they lie down on the floor?!"
Mira laughed half-heartedly and turned her head back to the screen. In the screen Natsu, Lucy, and Happy were holding hands and was chanting.
'There's no place like the next chapter. There's no place like the next chapter. There's no place like the next chapter."
Lucy clicked her heels 3 times and they were gone.
The forest was a nice place to be in. Birds chirping, small animals scurrying to bushes and a mischievious little girl.
The girl had shining blue locks in her hair and was wearing a yellow one piece dress with puffy sleeves tied around with a red ribbon.
The girl's name was Wendilocks.
Wendilocks liked exploring more than anything else. Today she had found a new target: The three bear's cottage. Nothing better to do than to intrude other people's- or more like animals in this matter- property on a perfect day like this.
Wendilocks was of a small figure which she believed made her much more agile and swift- just like the wind.
After taking a deep breath, Wendilocks tiptoed towards the cottage. She stepped on every stone path and passed every set of neatly trimmed bushes.
She slowly leaned against the door and opened it and saw-
"WHAT?!"
"Welome back Wendy!" A pink haired boy and a blonde haired girl were sitting on a table slurping porridge.
The bluenette started to back away. "W-Who are you? Where are the bears?"
Natsu grinned and took his feet off the table. "The bears? Oh, we locked two of them in the basement."
"Basement?!"
His grin only widened as if it was no big deal.
Suddenly the door behind them opened-"Eeeek!"- and two small figures stepped out. A blue cat in a plush lion costume and a white cat in a bear costume padded out into the living room side by side. Upon seeing the still-shocked Wendilocks their confused expressions broke into smiles.
"Wendy!"
They both cried out simultaneously and the white cat padded up to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
All the memories flooded back into Wendy's head.
"Charle!"
"I knew it! A kiss to the cheek works as well! See Lucy! You didn't have to make me kiss Happy on the lips."
Lucy scratched her head apologizing and Happy covered Charle's ears.
Wendy blinked for a moment then her face broke into a sly smile. "Then Happy kissed Charle?"
Charle turned pink and her tail shot upwards while Happy fainted making the blunette giggle. Lucy smiled.
"Hey Wendy, want some porridge?" Natsu held out a porridge bowl towards Wendy who took a seat next to him.
The chair collasped.
-To Be Continued
