Hey all, here's chapter 10 for you. These next few chapters are all about the wedding and what not, I have no idea how to write the wedding out though so I'm not sure how long it will take to get these chapters out. If anyone can pm me on tips for a wedding or just help me write it out in general that would be fantastic. Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 10
Erza was walking towards the guild hall alone. She and Natsu had just got done making up a guest list for the wedding; it had been three days since Natsu asked when she wanted it done and now Natsu was heading to collect the guests outside of Fairy Tail. Erza stopped outside the guild hall and sighed to herself, she knew this was going to be a long day once Mira found out what she needed help with. Erza then entered the door and headed for the masters office to talk about the wedding with him first. Upon entering, she saw Makarov bent over the desk overlooking some paperwork and coughed lightly to get his attention since he didn't see her enter through his open door. Makarov looked up to see Erza standing there and said in an overly cheery voice, "Hey there Erza, what can I do for you?"
Erza sighed and said, "You're drunk." It was a statement and not a question.
"Yup." Was the cheerful reply.
Erza sighed to herself again and hit Makarov over the head sending him into the desk head first. The master groaned in pain and rubbed his head. When he sat back up he said, "Alright I'm sober now. What can I do for you?"
"Well for starters I apologize for not showing up to the guild along with Natsu. You see for the last three days we've been forming a guest list." Erza paused to see his reaction.
"Guest list huh…wait your having the wedding? When is it!?" Makarov exclaimed.
Erza smiled and replied, "Natsu asked me three days ago when I wanted it and I said next week."
"Well that's terrific, but aren't you rushing into the wedding too soon?" Makarov asked curiously.
"Natsu also asked me that when I told him I wanted the wedding next week. The truth is, I feel as if we've waited too long already. I mean look at what's happened to us; Natsu and I get together and then the tower of heaven incident happens and we all thought he was dead for four and a half weeks. Then literally just after he gets back he watches me get killed in an illusion. Even before the illusion took place we were smacked around. No I don't think we're rushing at all. We love each other and we want to be together so why delay it further when we live in a dangerous world." Erza told Makarov.
Makarov chuckled and said, "Fair enough, who am I to say that you're rushing it. Now what else do you need?"
"Well we were hoping you would wed us." Erza said calmly.
Makarov's eyes widened in surprise, sure he was the guild master of them but he didn't expect to be the one to wed them. After he regained himself he said, "I would be honored to wed the two of you, but where is Natsu?"
Erza smiled happily and said, "He's going to collect some people who aren't from Fairy Tail that have been invited. He should be back in another three days if he can catch everyone fast enough. Once he gets everyone else here, we'll have the wedding a few days after that."
"That sounds like a sound plan, now shall we go announce it to the guild?" Makarov asked.
Erza nodded and the two of them left the office and from up on the second floor, Makarov called out, "Everyone may I have your attention?"
A few moments later everyone was standing below the balcony looking up to the master and he said, "I am pleased to announce that in about one week's time we are holding Natsu and Erza's wedding here at the guild."
The reactions were immediate, the guild started cheering loudly, but none were louder than Mirajane who squealed loudly before shooting up the stairs and glomped Erza from the side as she said, "Tell me everything you have planned and what you want done!"
Erza sighed again and thought, 'I really am sighing a lot today and I just hope Natsu is having an easier time then I am, Mira can squeal loudly.'
With Natsu and Happy:
Natsu and happy were walking down the road towards one of the many towns they had visited during their training trip. They had a small list of people to see if they wanted to come to the wedding but they were all spread across Fiore making it rather hard to find them all. Happy floated up behind Natsu and asked, "Hey Natsu, what do we do if they don't live here anymore?"
"We'll we move on I guess, I'm more of wondering for if they will come. We only met them once and it wasn't under the best circumstances." Natsu replied.
"That's true." Happy said.
Natsu and Happy continued along the road for another hour or so before they finally arrived at the small road leading up to the town. They started to follow the road up a hill that would lead them to the town and once they got up the hill they froze in shock. Where the town once was, was a smoldering crater. Natsu dropped to his knees in shock and said, "It's gone...the entire town has been destroyed."
Happy dropped to the ground next to him and said, "Who could have done this?"
"Fujiko…I'm so sorry. Honoka…I will avenge your parents if they died here. I promise you." Natsu said with anger in his eyes.
As Natsu stood back up the ground started shaking heavily causing both Natsu and Happy to fall back down followed by a deafening roar. Natsu and Happy looked in the direction of the roar and Natsu's eyes dilated in fear. Rising up from the side of a mountain was a massive black dragon that roared again as it flew into the air. The dragon hovered in air for a moment before it turned towards Natsu and Happy and flew towards them. As the dragon arrived in front of them, Natsu jumped into a fighting stance but once again was knocked down as the dragon dropped to the ground about 40 feet in front of him. The dragon growled lowly and said, "So you're the child of my master."
Natsu's eyes widened and he jumped up again and yelled, "Are you Acnologia?"
"Indeed I am boy; I see that you were admiring my handy work here." The dragon growled out.
Natsu stiffened before yelling in rage, "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DESTROYED THIS PLACE?"
The dragon nodded and said, "I felt it was necessary to destroy this place now that I am back at full power. How could I not want to destroy the very place I met my downfall at the hands of your mother?"
Natsu was shocked beyond all believe and quietly said, "My mother fought here?"
"That infernal woman made her last stand here against your father and our army. I was wounded far more than I ever had been and I sorely wished to be the one that killed your damned mother but it looks like I'll have to settle for her whelp…in due time." Acnologia said before rising into the air again. Before he could fly away, Natsu charged forward shouting, "I'll kill you for what you did here!"
Before Natsu could even make contact with the dragon he was swatted aside by a massive paw and Acnologia said, "Patience young one, I have things to do before I rip the flesh from your bones, rejoice you shall survive for a while longer yet. You should be honored that I even spoke to you. You're nothing more than an insect in my eyes."
Acnologia then flew off away from Natsu who was groaning in pain on the ground. Happy rushed over to Natsu and said, "Natsu are you okay?"
Natsu shook his head to stop the spinning and glared at Happy before saying, "I was just smacked to the ground by a dragon, how the fuck do you think I feel?"
Happy thought for a moment before saying, "Good point, but what do we do now? You heard the dragon, it wants to kill you!"
"What can we do? I couldn't even attack it. Come on, there's nothing more we can do here. I want to get the rest of the people before we head back to the guild and tell the master what happened here." Natsu said while shaking in anger.
As Natsu started walking down the road again, Happy thought as he followed, 'I don't think I've ever seen Natsu like this, he's terrified. I hope getting the people for the wedding and the wedding itself helps him.'
With Erza:
Erza rubbed her temples as Mira finally stopped rambling on how the wedding should go. She had been speaking for over three hours now and looked as if she still had more to say. Just as Mira was about to say something, Erza put a finger on her lips and said, "Am I aloud to voice my ideas now Mira?"
Mirajane blushed in embarrassment and nodded prompting Erza to continue. Erza sighed and said, "What I was hoping to do was have the ceremony behind the guild in the gardens. It's simple and easy to get done while very enjoyable."
Mirajane looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, "I think you should do the red and pink theme still."
Erza smacked her head onto the table as she said that. Erza then said from the table, "I already said I didn't want to do everything in bright pink and red as a background color. I appreciate the thought of it but that's far too much pink."
Mira pouted and said, "Well at least have a little pink and red since it matches you two so much."
Erza sighed again and said, "Fine we'll have a little of it since your so adamant about it."
Mira squealed and glomped Erza again saying how beautiful it will all be causing Erza to sigh once again as she thought, 'Save me from this Natsu.'
Well this chapter probably had some unexpected events for you all. Hope you liked it and please review.
