Hello there! Okay I tried to be funny this chapter, key word being TRIED. When I try to be funny in writing it doesn't work out to well...

"Ah! Geez! Come on Happy don't tell us you got us lost again! We've been walking forever and still haven't found Magnolia yet! Why are we following a cat anyway?!" Lucy yelled.

Vanya lifted up Alfus, "I agree with Lucy. Why follow a cat when we have Alfus who's a wolf? It makes absolutely no sense."

Lucy nodded vigorously, "Yeah! If Alfus was leading the way we might not be lost and already home!"

Happy looked totally put out. "What do you mean again?! How rude! I wasn't lost last time so this is the first time I've gotten us lost!"

"First time or not let's try to make it our last okay?" Lucy groaned.

"Man I want some food." Natsu said.

"We all do. Talking about it just makes us hungrier."

"I can't help it if I'm hungry, jerk!"

"No but you can stop running your mouth can't you?!"

'Gray you should already know the answer to that question.' Vanya sighed.

"Listen up! We need some food…" Makarov looked half dead.

"Yeah we know!"

"Enough." Cue Erza's stomach growl.

Everyone looked at her but Natsu was the first to speak, "Your stomach it trying to tell you something isn't it?"

"No it's not, you're hearing things."

Gray crossed his arms over his chest, "Uhuh, yeah real convincing Erza."

Happy screamed in happiness.

"What are you excited about?" Natsu asked Happy.

"Down there Natsu! Down there Natsu look!" Everyone looked over the edge of a large crack in the ground to see flying fish.

"Those are Wing Fish, their a legendary delicate! And their super yummy from what I hear!"

"I don't think you all will have much luck with that." Vanya said as she sat down a on a large rock with Alfus.

"Why's that?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Those fish talk, plus they fly."

"Fish are just fish! Doesn't matter if they can talk, their still stupid." Natsu pumped a fist in the air.

"Cats are just cats than huh Natsu? Doesn't matter if they can talk, their still stupid?"

Natsu looked offended as Happy cried huddled beside him. "Hey! Happy's not stupid!"

"Impressive, you figured out I was talking about Happy and not yourself."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"What does it sound like it's supposed to mean?"

"ENOUGH!" Erza put both hands up. "Stop arguing and fish!"

***After***

"This was harder than you'd think."

"All that trouble for one fish?"

"Natsu burned it, "Go ahead and eat it Happy."

"But that wouldn't be fair to you guys would it?"

"It's way too small to split up. If we had a bite we'd only want more."

"Hurry up and eat it before we change our minds."

"Okay! Don't mind if I do." Happy took a bite out of it while Gramps, Gray, and Natsu cried in the background. He finished stuffing the whole fish in his mouth, "GROSS!"

Vanya laughed and tried to hold it back but failed miserably. What she said next caused everyone to look at her. "Hey guys I got a little something we can eat."

"REALLY?!"

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?!"

"It's not much but…" Vanya had reached into her bag as everyone jumped in front of her excitedly. She sweat dropped. She pulled out a box of Pocky that only had two sticks left and a medium sized steak of meat. Their mouths watered as they tried to reach for it. Vanya threw it into the air above their heads. Their jaws dropped to the floor and Natsu leaped after it and his arms out stretched. Tears ran down his face and he held a face of pure joy as he was about to grab the steak of meat and eat it all by himself. Only to have Alfus grab it and land elegantly and prance, tail held high, back next to Vanya and eat it. Natsu did an awesome face plant with his butt up in the air.

"I thought you had food for us?!" Lucy yelled.

Vanya nodded and lifted up the Pocky, "Told you it's not much. Dogs and cats can't have chocolate, sorry Happy. Whatever alien species Natsu is I'm not really sure if he can have chocolate so, let's play it safe. "She picked up one of the Pocky sticks and split it into three's. She hands one to Lucy, Erza and Makarov. She picked up the last Pocky stick and puts an edge of it into her mouth and looked at Gray expectantly. He raised an eyebrow. She leaned in more and points his mouth than to the stick. He gets the hint; a light blush tinting his cheeks. His mouth grabs the other edge of the stick and Vanya smirks. Everyone watching the seen has different reactions.

Lucy has her hands over her face and peaks through her fingers to watch wide eyed.

Erza watches leaned in wide eyed too with a blush.

Makarov looks as if he's not watching an engaged couple about to do the cliché eat food and kiss thing but two girls naked pressed against each other.

Happy just makes kissing noises.

Alfus doesn't pay attention and keeps happily munching at his food.

Natsu….well Natsu interrupts their moment by chopping down on the middle and most of the Pocky stick just as the two were about to bite down on it.

Lucy's mouth drops.

Erza's mouth drops.

Makarov's mouth drops.

Happy's sniggers.

Gray's mouth drops.

Vanya's mouth drops.

Natsu smiles triumphantly. Vanya twitches violently and smacks him with a large stick like a baseball and sends him into the air. "NATSU DRAGNEEL!"

***Then***

"I hate to say it but…"Natsu started.

Gray continued, "All that fishing and Pocky…"

"Made me hungrier…" Makarov finished.

Everyone continued walking before they noticed something.

Erza smiled. "A Village!"

"Houses!"

"And that's means there must be-"

"Food!"

They all ran excitedly into the village hoping to get some food only to find it abandoned.

Gray looked around, "There's no one here."

"It does seem awfully quite doesn't it?" Lucy asked.

"Maybe their taking an afternoon nap or something? Hey! Is anybody here?!" Natsu yelled.

"We're starving like crazy our here! Somebody cook us some dinner." Happy yelled.

Lucy sweat dropped, "Wow Happy. Ever heard of the word please?"

"It's a foreign word to him and Natsu." Vanya whispered to Lucy.

"I believe it."

Everybody stopped in the middle of the town to get a better look.

Gray first spoke up, "You really think the whole town's taking a nap?"

Makarov rubbed his chin, "Well it's either that or they all got drunk and passed out."

"I think that back at the guild." Lucy replied.

Makarov laughed, "We do love our spirits don't we?"

"You guys can stay here all day but I'm going to find a kitchen to raid!" Natsu ran to a house.

Gray was hot on his heels, "Shame on you for even thinking of robbing this place, Natsu!"

"You're just mad I thought of it first!"

Vanya sighed and they all followed Gray and Natsu to the house they opened.

"It looks like no one's here." Gray said as they found the house deserted.

"Who cares? There's food!" Natsu picked up a piece of bread off the table He took a sniff at it, "Good, it still smells fresh! Open wide! ~"

Erza walked into the house and stopped him before he could take a bite out of the bread. "No so fast. "

"What is it now?!"

"There's something strange here."

Gray nodded, "She's right. Who would leave a table full of food just sitting there like that? And if somebody cooked there where the heck are they now?"

Natsu didn't get it. "How the heck should I know? Anyway, ready to dig in Happy?"

"Aye!"

"Natsu!"

"Ah! Yes ma'am?"

"We need to investigate the village first. We've held out this long, we can hold out a little-"Cue Erza's stomach growl.

Lucy laughed, "I think your stomach might have different plans."

Makarov hmmed, "Yes but which one do we listen to?"

Erza ignored her still growling stomach, "Search the area for mushrooms or anything that looks edible. And don't eat the food in the village okay? While you're all doing that master and I will try to figure out what's going on."

"Yeah yeah I hear you, let's go Happy."

"Aye."

***Outside the village***

Mushrooms everywhere, literally.

"Stupid Erza. How am I supposed to get on of a bunch of Mushrooms? That food back there looked really good too-" Natsu finally noticed the mushroom during his rant.

"Hey mushrooms."

"I take that back. These look pretty tasty!"

Vanya squatted down and inspected the mushrooms. She started to pick them one by one and eventually arms filled with mushrooms she stood up. Gray stole some from the pile and Vanya whined, "Hey-"It was too late he threw all of them into his mouth at once. And his head sprouted a large mushroom. Vanya's eyes escaped their sockets and after completely comprehending the situation she laughed and banged her head on a nearby tree trunk.

Gray raised an eyebrow at her actions. "What's so funny?"

Vanya vaguely heard what was being said but ignored it as she put a hand on her stomach that hurt from all her laughing and regained her breathe. Alfus barked up at her and she picked him up and lifted him in front of her face. He licked her tears of laughter away that caused Vanya to laugh in delight. Just as she turned to see Natsu and Gray arguing, nothing new there, there was a loud growling like noise from the town.

"You hear that?" Natsu asked.

Lucy turned towards to village. "What is it?"

Both boys mushrooms popped and fell off their heads. Happy was relieved. "Yay! The mushrooms fell off."

Lucy looked at Happy's head. "Not quite, looks like yours is still going strong. "

Happy epped. He was than ignored as the all ran back towards the town in search of Makarov and Erza. The two came into view. Natsu whispered to his blue cat friend, "Be careful Happy."

"Aye."

That was when the buildings started to move as if they danced with a pink glow.

"Woah. What's with this place?"

"Why is everything moving?"

The ground started to move too.

"It's time to rumble gramps."

"No! Wait!"

"What? Why?"

"We need to get to higher ground. There's something I have to check."

That's exactly what they did. They ran up to a small cliff that overlooked the town and watched the whole city turn into monsters.

"No way. It looks like we got out just in time." Natsu said.

"Now I see. It's a magic circle." Everyone looked at Erza.

"That's right. Those lines we saw in the village were carved into the ground to form a massive magic circle. A circle that is a type of magic that was band many years ago. A form a sealing magic that is known as alive. It has to ability to turn non living objects into living seems that village cast a forbidden spell only to end up being eaten by the very monsters they brought to life." Makarov stated.

Lucy looked at him. "But why would they use a forbidden spell in the first place?"

"This village was homed to a dark guild. While investigating I came across a collection of magic tools tucked away in a shed. Upon closer inspection I realized they were tools to practice black magic."

"Knowing how reckless dark guilds can be they probably thought of some crazy plan and ended up getting burned in the process. But! There's one thing we should be grateful for."

"Oh yeah? And what would that be for?" Natsu asked Makarov.

"The dark guilds mischief brought these creatures to life. And most living creatures can be turned into food!"

Cue everyone's stomach growls.

"Now time to cow!"

"Aye! I'm right behind ya Natsu!"

"At this point I don't even care what they taste like."

Erza went first then followed by Natsu, Gray and Happy.

"Wait your crazy!"

"Save some for me you two!"

"Yeah me too!"

"You too Vanya?!"

Vanya looked at Lucy. "Yeah, I mean if they taste alright. Speaking of which you should go help Erza. "

"I don't think Erza needs my help."

Vanya put a hand on Lucys back. "I agree with you there but it still doesn't not help to observe her fight." She didn't give Lucy a chance to speak before pushing her off the ledge with a chuckle in Erza's direction.

"You're not going down there to help them?"

Vanya only sat down and leaned her back onto the newly transformed Alfus. "If the food does end up tasting horrible I'd rather let their taste buds be the ones to rot and not mine. Isn't that why you're waiting for them to hurry up too master?"

Makarov didn't respond to her but cast her a glance and his lips twitched in amusement as the three of them watched the others fight their hopefully soon to be food. "I'd wish they would hurry, I'm starving here."

At exactly the same time did Lucy, Natsu and Gray take a bite out of their freshly chopped up, frozen, and burnt meals of monsters did they spit it out with horrified looks. Immediately Gray and Natsu jumped on Makarov's case.

"What were you think gramps?! There's no way we could eat this nasty stuff!"

"Are you trying to kill us you old geezer?!"

"It's true I would hardly call this edible." Erza said.

A tick mark appeared on Lucy's head. "If you knew it was hardly edible than why'd you force me to eat it?!"

Happy smacked into the rocks with a moving chair and with that his mushroom fell off. Gray pointed to the fallen mushroom. "Look, you're mushroom finally fell off."

"I don't care about the stupid mushroom! I wanna know why ya'll didn't help me out?! How could you be so mean, I thought we were friends!"

"We are."

"You were just goofing off right?"

Cue devastated face.

"What are we going to do now? I'd rather starve than eat more of that stuff."

"I guess that's what we get for trying to cook up a bunch of monsters."

"Man this sucks all that barbecuing made me hungrier than before."

Vanya's ears perked up and she turned to look in Happy's direction where she heard a small noise that only probably Natsu and Alfus caught. The ground behind Happy rumbled and came out a monster about to attack Happy. Natsu jumped into action,"Look out!" With that he punched the monster away from Happy. More monsters kept coming out of the ground.

"Man these things are nasty."

"In more ways then one."

Vanya's eyes flickered to her master. He was watching them all intently. He was seeing how they improved and in particular what Lucy could do. Vanya eyes flicked from Gray, Natsu, Erza and lastly Lucy.

Gray's speed to use his magic increased.

Natsu strengthened his fire magic in his fist more.

Erza's weapon accuracy was sharper.

Lucy being able to use a strong spirit of the 12 golden keys was impressive.

"They just keep coming!" Natsu yelled.

The monsters started to back off. "Great, what's happening now?"

A bright purple glow lit the whole area. The glow came from the magic circle that was producing the monsters from below. "A magic circle!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Erza carefully inspected everything around them. "This is bad..." That was when the magic circle began sucking in the monsters and the ledge they stood on cracked in multiple areas, ready to collapse. "Run for it!" It was too late and they all fell in.

"AHHH!"

***After***

They were still walking, trying to find home and still hungry. Vanya sat on Alfus as he walked for the both of him. Her stomach growled which caused her to put a hand on it hoping to silence the buried her head into Alfus's fur and her thoughts briefly flickered to what happened.

The village people.

The dark guild.

The seal.

Master Makarov was able to save everyone at once. He was able to remove the magic seal, turn back the people of the village and save them. It was quite a feat honestly. Vanya looked up from Alfus's fur and into the sky. She noticed something about a cloud that made her laugh loudly and caused them to look at her. She smiled at everyone and pointed to the sky, "Look!"

They followed the direction of her finger in the sky and noticed a cloud in the shape of the Fairy Tail Symbol. And that was enough to distract them from their hunger for the next hour as they finally reached Magnolia.

Okay first, sorry it was rather short, I apologize. I wanna know if maybe some of you want a lemon or not because I've been thinkin about it and if enough people want some I'll write some but if people don't than I'd probably make a lemon series that belongs to the story line. Review?

PS: Thank you to those who followed and faved!
