Lisanna sighed as she wiped a glass. Since Mira was at the dress shop, she had taken over her big sister's shift. She didn't mind the bar. It was busy with all of her friends and family. She also didn't mind not being part of the bridal party. She and Natsu had dated, briefly, in the past and it would be awkward for Lucy to have Natsu's ex as her bridesmaid. She was just happy to help out.

"Hey Lisanna! Can we have another round?!" Natsu yelled, followed by the approving cheers of the rest of the male wizards. Lisanna grinned and grabbed the liquor as she headed over to the table.

"So, have you picked a best man yet?" Lisanna asked as she poured the booze into the empty shot glasses. Silence.

"Not yet," Natsu laughed.

"Well, there shouldn't even be a question. I'm the best here and I'm a man. Therefore, I'm the best man," Laxus chuckled, his voice brimming with confidence.

"No way!" Elfman yelled," I am the most manly man here!"

"In your dreams, Elfman! It's me!"

"Nah it's me!"

"The best man must be a gentleman, which I am,"

"Well, I do fire magic too, so he'll pick me, right Natsu?"

"You're too young, Romeo!"

"No, I'm not!"

"It's me!

"STOP!" Lisanna yelled, making all the men quiet, as she tried to think of a plan. What would Mira do? Well, Mira liked to hold-

"We'll have a Best Man Contest!" Lisanna cheered. The men all exchanged glances and nodded. Suddenly Gray spoke up.

"Who's gonna judge?'

"Natsu and I will."

"Fair enough!"

"So, how are we gonna do this?" Natsu asked Lisanna.

"We'll hold auditions!" Lisanna said, before turning to the rest of the guys," It starts in one hour so go get ready!"

…..

An hour later, the hall was crowded with spectators and the stage was set. Lisanna, Happy and Natsu sat on a panel with a big button in front of them. The lights dimmed, except for the massive spotlight on the stage.

"First up, Romeo!"

Romeo walked onto the stage, slightly awkward. He shyly waved at the excited audience, resulting in applause.

Before even speaking, Natsu hit the button. Large red x's appeared everywhere and Romeo seemed shocked. Lisanna turned to Natsu angrily.

"What the heck!? Why'd you hit it!?"

"Because he and Gajeel already have positions in the other ceremony."

"Oh…" It made sense.

"Actually, the only people allowed to audition are Laxus, Jellal and Gray. After all, Lucy wanted the bridesmaids and groomsmen to be couples. Not my orders, hers." Natsu said before calling slightly louder," Sorry guys!"

Grumbles could be heard off stage.

"Okay, so next up Laxus!"

Laxus swaggered on stage, a large cocky grin on his face.

"Why should you be Natsu's best man?" Happy asked.

"Because I'm the best here."

"Umm…. anything more specific?"

"Well, I'm a dragonslayer too. I'm also the guy who taught Natsu how to win Lucy's heart."

"Really!?" Lisanna said, turning to Natsu," What did you tell him?"

"I told him that, no, Lucy would not like a pet octopus and would probably prefer a nice dinner out with a bouquet of white roses."

"Were you seriously going to give Lucy an octopus?" Lisanna said.

"Yummy!" Happy drooled.

"I thought she'd like it!" Natsu said defensively," Anyway, thanks Laxus."

"Next is Jellal!"

Jellal walked on stage a hood covering his face.

"Why should we choose you?" Lisanna asked sweetly. Jellal gave what appeared to be a very small smile.

"Because Erza wants me to be the best man."

A coldness swept across the room. Natsu was shaking now, his skin having gone pale at the thought of facing Erza's wrath.

"T-thanks, Jellal," Natsu stuttered, forcing a grin. Jellal laughed and left.

"Finally, Gray!"

Gray walked out shirtless.

"Your clothes!" Lisanna yelled at him, throwing him one. Gray shrugged and put it on.

"Why should you be my best man?" Natsu asked.

"Well," Gray began," Despite all our fighting, I guess I consider you my friend. Team Natsu's been through a lot and I've seen your relationship with Lucy grow since the beginning. I think I'd like to be there for the next step."

Natsu, Lisanna and Happy were all in tears.

"That's beautiful man!" Natsu sniffled as he ran up to the stage. "Screw Erza's wrath, you're my best man!"

"Get off me, ya flame brain!"

"What ya say, ya icy bastard!"

The boys started to fight, leading to a large brawl in the guild hall. Lisanna smiled though. After all, it Fairy Tail.
