Chapter 6: Team Rising Star
Magnolia, Fiore
Fairy Tail Guild Hall
It was a new morning in Magnolia. The sun rises over the small, beautiful town. Last night, the Fairy Tail guild had just welcomed two new members into its family: Flare Corona and AJ Kenobu. The two have been welcomed with open arms, despite their complicated pasts. Neither one of them could be happier.
Just outside of the Fairy Tail guild hall, the current master of the guild, Laxus Dreyar, and his girlfriend Mirajane Strauss, were preparing to unlock the guild's doors, which have been locked since last night.
"So what did Porlyusica say about your condition?" the model/ S-class wizard asked her boyfriend.
"Well," Laxus answered. "As long as I keep taking my medicine, my health should get better, despite inhaling all of those Bane particles last year."
"That's good," Mira smiled. "I'll just have to make sure you take your medicine like a good boy." she winked at the Lightning Dragon Slayer.
He laughed in response. "What are you gonna do, dress up in a nurse's costume before giving me my meds?" he joked.
Mirajane blushed. "Maybe if you're a good boy," she said clearly. She then went over to the guild's door and pulled out the keys. She bent over to insert the key into the slot. Doing so gave the guild master behind her a nice view of her curvaceous behind. Laxus growled in his throat, liking what he sees very much so.
Mirajane was very well aware of the effect this was having on him. To tease him even more, she fiddled with the keyring. "Now which one is the right key?" she wondered out loud, purposely taking her time in finding the right key. While doing this, she swayed her bottom from left to right, almost hypnotizing the man behind her.
"Ah! Here it is!" she isolated a certain key from the rest, but didn't get the chance to use it as Laxus spun her around and forced his tongue down her throat. Mira closed her eyes and moaned into the kiss, submitting to her muscular boyfriend.
Hands were going everywhere, as Mira put hers on Laxus' muscular chest while he cupped Mira's soft yet firm butt in his hands. They broke the kiss, breathing heavily. "Let's take this inside," Laxus said, Mira nodding excitedly.
They quickly unlocked the main door and hurried inside, closing the door behind them. Mira laid her back on one of the numerous table of the guild hall and awaited her boyfriend to ravish her. He spared no expense and attacked her lips with his once again, feeling her up everywhere. He reached to undo Mira's beautiful dress until…
"Ah!" A voice yawned loudly from underneath the table they were currently on top of. They froze in place, stopping what they were doing immediately. They turned their heads underneath the table and found AJ, their most recent recruit, who was apparently sleeping underneath the table.
AJ stretched his arms and attempted to open his eyes, though they were still tired. From what he could see, he realized that Mira and Laxus were right above him. "Oh hey guys," he yawned again and attempted to get out from under the table.
"How did you get in here?!" Mirajane asked, mortified that there was someone watching them make love. "The door was locked!"
"None of the windows were," AJ replied. He got up from where he was sleeping and stretched himself out. He then rubbed the sleep out of his eyes so he could see better. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Mirajane blushing and the couple's clothes messed up. He put two and two together and his eyes widened. "Oh, was I interrupting something?" he asked nervously.
"GET OUT!" Laxus screamed in rage as his tender moment with his girlfriend was ruined by AJ's presence. He gathered some of his magic and launched a lightning bolt at the new Fairy Tail wizard. The poor guy screamed in agony as the electricity jolted his entire body. His reaction was so loud, that it was heard from the other side of Magnolia.
Lucy's apartment
Lucy was sleeping peacefully in her bed before she heard a distant scream, then she jolted awake. "What was that?" she asked aloud, concerned if whoever screamed was alright. She was wearing her favorite pink pajamas.
"Eh, it was probably nothing, Luce," Cana said, getting up from Lucy's bed. For some reason, she was sleeping with Lucy in the same bed. "Come back to bed, cutie," she teased, wrapping an arm around the blonde's shoulders. Cana was wearing only a pair of black panties and a matching bra.
Lucy chuckled nervously. She was starting to regret letting Cana stay over for the night.
"Mmm! Blondie, you're so warm," Flare moaned in her sleep while clutching Lucy's body in her arms, her head buried in her friend's stomach. She was wearing a shirt and a pair of shorts that Lucy leant her for the night, since she didn't have any clothes besides her red dress.
Cana laughed at Lucy's dilemma. "That girl's falling for you so bad!" she chuckled.
Lucy smiled and shook her head. She liked that Flare was coming out of her shell like this, but she wasn't quite ready for a relationship, let alone one with the same sex...or was she? Only time will tell.
"Ah!" Cana yawned as she got up from bed a few minutes later. She had her back turned to the other two girls, which gave Lucy and an awakening Flare a good view of her back and butt. She reached down to her butt to fix her panties that had ridden up into her crack during the night. She sighed in relief as she picked her wedgie. "Alright, girls! Time to start the day, and what better way to do that than with a nice bath?"
Flare shot up from the bed, fully awake and excited. "A bath with Blondie?! Count me in!" she said with sparkles in her eyes.
Lucy shuddered in fear. From experience, she knew that baths with Cana were pretty...handsy. She almost didn't dare to think of what a bath with both Cana and Flare would bring to her.
A few minutes later, both Cana and Flare are in Lucy's nice bathtub, completely naked and soaking in the warm water.
"Damn, Corona! You've got quite the body! A perfect hourglass figure!" Cana complimented the redhead.
Flare blushed and returned the compliment with one of her own. "Thanks. You've got some nice boobs too. Not as nice as Blondie's, but nice."
Cana smirked at the redhead's comment. "That's okay. No one can top Lucy's knockers! Besides, I pride myself in my fine behind!" she laughed, patting her tanned butt. She then looked toward the door that leads from the bathroom into the rest of the apartment. "Lucy, you comin' or what?" she called.
"Alright, I'm coming!" the Celestial wizard responded, opening the door. She walked into the bathroom with a towel tightly wrapped around her curvy form. Both Cana and Flare were disappointed with this sight.
"What's with the towel, Luce?" Cana complained. "Take it off and join the fun!"
Lucy walked closer to the tub but didn't take the towel off just yet. "Don't stare at me! It's embarrassing!" she whined, blushing at the two sets of wanting eyes staring her down.
"Oh come on, Blondie!" Flare said. "You have nothing to be embarrassed about! Your body is perfect! Like a goddess'!"
Lucy blushed at Flare's declaration, comparing her body to that of a goddess. She took another step closer to the tub, and for Cana, it was close enough.
"Yoink!" Cana exclaimed and yanked Lucy's towel right off of her, revealing her entire beautiful naked body.
"Ah! Cana!" she yelled, covering her naked body as best as she could. She used her left arm to cover her breasts to an extent and her right hand to cover her crotch.
"You look so cute when you're embarrassed. Blondie!" Flare giggled. Her hair then started to move toward the blushing blonde. "Now come on in!"
"Ah!" Lucy screamed and she landed in the tub with a great splash.
Fairy Tail guild hall
Two hours later, the guild hall was alive and popping with wizards going in and out. Cana, Lucy, and Flare were all sitting at the bar.
"So, Lucy," Cana said to the blonde and patting her on the back. "Did you have fun this morning?"
"I feel so violated," was Lucy's reply as she blushed at the memory of the events in the bathroom earlier in the morning. Flare and Cana were very thorough in cleaning each other. Together, they washed EVERY LAST INCH of Lucy's body. Needless to say, they had a lot of fun this morning.
"You know you loved it," Cana said with a naughty wink.
Lisanna, who was working at the bar, overheard the conversation and was blushing up a storm. "What am I hearing? That sounds naughty!" she said with a tease.
"Can we please change the subject?" Lucy begged with her hands in her hands.
Lisanna nodded and looked for something else to talk about for her friend's sake. She looked to the new girl and found a new topic to talk about. "Oh, I love your outfit, Flare!" she commented on Flare's current state of attire.
Having need of clothes of her own and not having any money to spare, Lucy offered to take her clothes shopping before they went to the guild. They managed to find an outfit that really brought out Flare's beauty. On top, she was wearing a red sweater that went all the way down to her thighs, but left her back exposed. She was wearing a pair of red leggings to compliment her sweater. And her hair was tied in pigtails that met at her lower back.
(Look for this image on Pinterest, it's legit. She looks so beautiful in that outfit and I really wish we can see her in that outfit in the anime. God bless whoever made it!)
Flare blushed as she was complimented on her cute new outfit. Lucy bought an assortment of other essential clothes for her like shirts, pants, pajamas, bras, panties, ect. But this was by far her favorite outfit. "Thank you," she replied. "Blondie bought it for me." She smiles at her blonde friend.
Lisanna smiles as well. "Lucy, you're so nice!"
"Too nice!" she said with tears running down her eyes. "We ended up going on a shopping spree and I blew all my money! How am I gonna pay the rent this month?!" she panics, getting a nervous laugh from the youngest Strauss sibling.
Cana shook her head at Lucy and her money problems. She looked over to the other side of the bar and saw AJ sulking over a cup of cola by himself. She decided to have some fun and get to know him better. "And how was your morning, new guy?" she asked.
"Shut up," he replied, taking a sip of his drink.
"That bad, huh?" she asked. "I heard about what happened this morning. Did you see anything that was worth the trouble you got into?" she teased.
"I said shut up!" he said with a raised voice. He then recoils in pain, as he was still sore from Laxus's lightning assault. "Laxus almost killed me and Mirajane won't even talk to me."
"Well it was your own fault. What the hell were you doing in the guild so early anyway?" Cana asked, curious as to how this whole ordeal started.
AJ sighed. "Well I don't have any other place to stay. I don't have the money to rent an apartment or a hotel or anything like that and I don't wanna ask anyone from the guild to crash at their places when I just got here. I thought the guild hall was the perfect place to sleep, before I saw a dragon and a demon humping."
As soon as he said that, he heard lighting crackle in the sky outside of the guild hall. He yelled in fear and quickly shut himself up, cowering in his seat.
Cana was now in deep thought, a plan was formulating in her head. Then her eyes lit up. She took AJ's hand. "Come here!" she said, pulling the new wizard away from his comfortable seat and drink. The brunette brought him over to Lucy and Flare. "Lucy, I've got a solution to both of your problem!" she said excitedly, and then turned to AJ. "And you, I've got a solution for your problem at the same time!"
The announcement immediately caught AJ's and Lucy's attention.
"Well, don't keep us in suspense. Let's hear it!" AJ ushered the card wizard to spill the details.
"We," Cana started. "Are going on a job together! As a matter of fact, let's all form a team!"
AJ was confused as to what Cana meant. "Team?" he asked.
Lucy nodded. "Yeah. Even though we're in the same guild, some of us form teams with each other to go on more difficult and well-paying jobs. And while I do like the idea of going on a job to help pay my rent, I'm actually already part of a team: Natsu's team with Gray, Erza, Wendy, Happy, and Carla."
AJ liked the idea of taking on well-paying jobs, but he was a bit disappointed that Lucy was already part of a team that wasn't his.
"Yeah," Cana said. "But that was before the guild disbanded. And now that we're back together, you guys haven't officially established that you're a team still. You can join a new one, just the four of us! Think about it, you won't have to deal with Happy and Natsu's pranks anymore." She tried to persuade Lucy to join their new team.
That last argument really made Lucy think about it, as she has been the butt of many of the duo's jokes. "I don't know, guys," she trailed.
"Please, Blondie," Flare begged, putting on her best puppy dog face. She tried to look as cute as possible and for the blonde, it was working. Lucy was having a hard time resisting those eyes.
"But what about the others? How am I supposed to tell them?" Lucy argued.
"You won't have to, Lucy," Erza said at a table close by the group.
Lucy was startled, not knowing that Erza was there the whole time. "How long have you been there?" she asked.
"An hour," the Requip wizard answered.
"An hour?" the three girls and guy all asked.
"Yes," Erza said proudly before explaining. "I have mastered the art of staying so incredibly still, that I become invisible to the naked eye." She takes a forkful of her favorite strawberry cake and puts it in her mouth, before swooning at the taste.
"But we can clearly see you eating a piece of cake," AJ argued.
"I'm certain that I'm invisible," she assured.
"Hey, Erza," Natsu greeted as the rest of Team Natsu entered the area.
"Damn it," Erza cursed as she was proven wrong, making Cana laugh. "Well, now that you're all here, there's something we need to discuss. Lucy here has been offered to join another team comprised of Cana, Flare and AJ."
"Is that true Lucy?" Wendy asked.
"You're not seriously considering that, are you Lucy?" Gray also asked.
Lucy blushed. "Well…" she trailed sheepishly.
"Lucy, you can't leave the team!" Natsu argued.
"Yeah, it won't be the same without you!" Happy added.
Erza raised her armored hand. "Hang on," she said. "Let's hear her out. Cana has made a good point. When the guild disbanded, so did the team, and we haven't officially established it. Now Lucy has the opportunity to join a new team and it's her decision." She paused to put another mouthful of her delicious cake into her mouth. "Personally, I think it would be good for her to branch out, since we tend to go overboard on almost every job. Not to mention, two of the members of this team are new to wizarding work, it would be good for someone to teach them how these work as a team.
Lucy widened her eyes. That was actually a very good point. She didn't really pride herself on being a good teacher, but she could certainly give it a try.
"In that case, I guess I can join another team," she said, making her decision. The members of Team Natsu were a bit disappointed , but were happy for the blonde. THey were still friends and nothing was going to change that.
"Yay!" Flare said, giving the Celestial wizard another hug to express her happiness and excitement.
"Aw!" Natsu groans in disappointment. "Well does this team of yours have a name?" he asks.
The four wizards hadn't come up with a name just yet, but for some reason, AJ had the perfect for the team. "We're Team Rising Star!" He then lit up his fists with his stellar magic, his hand looking like the surface of a star.
Everyone was surprised at this sudden declaration.
"Huh," Natsu hummed in surprise. "That's actually a pretty cool name."
"I've heard worse," Gray said with a smirk.
"Then it's settled," Cana said, pumping her fists in the air. "We are Team Rising Star! What do you say we get our first job?"
"YEAH!" the other three cheered in unison. They all got up from their seats to look at the request board for their first official job as a team.
"I'm happy for them and all," Gray said. "But who are we gonna fill our empty spot with?"
"Gray, my darling!" Juvia exclaimed, running toward her icy love interest as fast as she could. "I overheard everything from behind that pillar over there! Let me fill the void that Lucy left in your team! Together, we will be unstoppable! Nothing will overcome our love!"
Gray was skeptical but sighed in defeat. "Fine, you can join the team," he said reluctantly and no one else argued. Juvia almost passed out from the excitement of working beside her beloved.
"This can only end in disaster," Carla said pessimistically.
Alright, guys! I've decided to end this chapter here as a litter filler before we get into the good parts. Next time is gonna be Team Rising Star's first official job and I expect it to be a bit longer than usual. Hopefully it will come sooner rather than later, if I can brainstorm the right ideas.
Anyway, I hope you liked the way I transitioned Lucy into a different team. If not, well I don't know what to tell you. This is my story and I can do whatever I want.
Also, I want your guys' opinion on something. So far, the main pairing is going to be AJ X Cana X Flare X Lucy in a little bit of a harem. I've just thought of adding Lisanna to it. I've considered pairing her with Natsu, but what do you guys think? It's not that I hate Lisanna, I actually love her and I find everyone's blatant bashing of her and her being made out as a hateful person to be ridiculous and misplaced. I find her to be cute, innocent, loyal, and tough when it comes down to it. Let me know what you guys think.
Also a quick side note before I forget: Now that I'm getting back into writing, I've been thinking about doing another story along with this one in the universe of High School DxD. It will have some similar elements to this story's lore. What do you guys think of that?
P.S.: Hope you guys liked this double update tonight. It is currently 4 in the morning and I'm still writing. Something must be wrong with me! lol
Next time: The First Job!
