"Never gonna fall for Modern Love, walks beside me Modern Love, walks on by Modern Love, gets me to the Church on Time. Church on Time terrifies me, Church on Time makes me party, Church on Time puts my trust in God and Man. God and Man no confessions, God and Man no religion, God and Man don't believe in Modern Love." - David Bowie Modern Love.
Chapter 21: Gets Me to the Church on Time.
Laxus, Gray, Juvia and the men of The ThunderGod Tribe carried Mira back to the Guild where most of everyone accept Cana and a few others were missing. Porlyusica ran over to the group and lead them to a bed that was set for Mira.
"How bad is she?" asked Lucy.
"She's in the same state as the potion intended her to be." Levy replied "I'd make another antidote, but I used the last of those needed ingridents when I made the last batch."
"So, Cana is holding hostage the last of the antidote." Lisanna said in a somewhat sad tone.
"I hate to say it," Porlyusica said "But yes. There's not even enough time to go back to my hut to get the ingredients we need."
"So how are we going to handle this?" Romeo asked. There was a pregnant silence that spreaded across the Guild; no one knew what to do.
"I think I have an idea." Lucy suddenly said. The Guild all looked at Lucy as she began to explain her idea to her guildmates.
Cana was relaxing on one of the beams that held the Cathedral together. She tossed up and down the antidote that would cure Mirajane; mostly, she was there, waiting for Laxus. What's taking him so long? she asked herself Why isn't my groom here yet? Before she could say more, she heard the doors of the Cathedral open up and watched as Laxus walked to the alter, along with his grandfather and the rest of the guild. My groom is here! But before she could move, she heard the music begin to play and the girls in the Guild, all walking down the isle in dresses. Then, she saw a woman in a white dress walk down the isle. Cana watched intently and her jaw dropped when she saw who it was; the bride, was MiraJane.
What the hell?! Cana mentally screamed I thought Mira was incapacitated! I have the antidote! Then Cana remembered something; Levy got into potion making a while ago. She probably managed to salvage enough ingredients to make an antidote. Now Laxus and Mira were getting married! Cana's lower lip began to tremble and she began to feel tears fall from her face. She was heartbroken, but mostly angry.
"Dearly beloved!" Makarov announced into the Cathedral "We are gathered here today to witness my grandson Laxus Dreyar and Mirajane Strauss, be joined in Holy Matramoney."
NO! Cana mentally screamed; more tears poured from her eyes.
"Do you, Laxus Dreyar, take MiraJane Strauss to be your lawfully wedded wife, in love, sickness and health till death do you part?"
"Until death," smiled Laxus "I do."
"And do you, MiraJane Strauss take Laxus Dreyar to be your-"
"NO!" Cana's voiced echoed in the Cathedral. The Guild looked around and soon found where Cana's voice came from "KEEP AWAY FROM HIM!" She got out a deck of her cards and began to fling some of the cards at the couple in a fit of rage. The Guild watched and ducked as Cana continued her attack. The fire related attacks, Natsu ate. Gray and Juvia used a quick Unison Raid and created a sheild from pure ice.
Cana continued her attack with tears pouring from her eyes but soon, she lost her footing and fell off the beam, but grabbed it in time. The Guild gasped; their loved one was in major trouble.
"L-Laxus!" she called out "Save me!" She continued to shed pink tears until at an unpleasant time, her tears turned crystal clear.
"T-the hell is going on?!" she screamed "What am I doing here?! Why am I holding on for dear life?! Someone! HELP!" Cana's grip was gradually beginning to grow weary. Before long, Cana lost her grip and began to fall. But before she could even hit the ground, a Holder Plant made by Droy saved her in time and got her onto the ground.
"Nice going Droy." A voice from the shadows complimented.. Cana looked up and realized the voice belonged to...Laxus?
"Laxus?" Cana asked a little wearily.
"Good job too by the way you two." Laxus told the two at the alter. Cana looked behind herself and found Mira and...another Laxus? Wait, there were two Laxus's?!
"How much have I had to drink?" Cana asked.
"Not enough to consider you drunk, gihihi." said the Laxus at the alter. With that said, both Laxus at the alter and MiraJane transformed into Levy and Gajeel.
The Guild listened intently as Lucy began to explain her plan.
"Mira is familliar with Transformation Magic, correct?" Lucy began.
"Yeah?" Lisanna replied unsure "She's a master at it, why?"
"Well, since we can't really have Mira in on the plan, why don't we have Mira in on the plan?"
"HUH?" the Guild said in unison.
"The hell you trying to say Bunny Girl?" Gajeel asked.
"I'm trying to say, why don't we have someone use Transformation Magic and turn into Mira."
"That's actually a good idea." Levy pointed out "Keep going Lu-chan."
"Cana isn't going to fall or the dying plan; she's seen it and knows how it works."Lucy explained "So, why don't we get her upset in a different way?"
"You mean, Laxus breaking things off with her?" Gray asked.
"I mean a wedding. A fake wedding, one between Laxus and Mira. "
"But it's actally not them." Erza added.
"Exactly! I need two mages, male and female to be the targets."
"I'll do it." Levy volunteered "I always wanted to try out a different magic."
"Tch." Gajeel snorted with his eyes rolling "I guess I'll try." The two mages then took a quick lesson from Lisanna on the basics of Transformation Magic after the plan was made.
"So let me get this straight." Cana said while holding the blanket they placed around her tighter. They were back at The Guild now, Cana got out of the wedding dress and into her normal clothes. She took a quick sip of the mug of warm spice beer that the Guild provided her "Juvia took a Love Potion Levy made a few weeks ago and that juice I added into my beer was actually the Love Potion?" Makarov nodded. After Cana returned to normal, the Guild managed to round up their other affected members and get them back to normal. Happy and Lily, Macao and Wakaba, Elfman, Jellal.; everyone was ok. Mira got the antidote and was now resting comfortably in the Guild's ICU.
"That's right." Levy smiled wearily.
"And this whole time," Cana added "I was in a wedding dress, raging like an angry vulcan over Laxus?" she took a sip of her warm beer.
"Yes." Lucy sighed.
"Oh God, I'm so embarrassed. I'm so sorry for everything Laxus!"
"Eh." the second generation dragon slayer shrugged "No biggie." As the night carried on, the various Fairy Tail members who were under the Love Potion's effects apologized to the members they were after. Levy watched at her usual table as each member apologized and either hugged or...kissed? Maybe? Well, it didn't matter. Maybe in Mira's eyes it did but right now, Levy could sigh a sigh of relief, it was over; all over.
"Shrimp?" a voice suddenly asked. Levy looked up and found Gajeel, standing in front of her. He was wearing the tuxedo he was wearing during the plan. Levy figured he probably didn't want to go home to change.
"Hey Gajeel." Levy smiled wearily.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For how I was acting these past few days. I barely remember anything but I feel it's right to apologize." Levy raised an eyebrow.
"It's no big deal, you were under a Love Potion-"
"I do remember some of it." Levy's eyes widened.
"Y-you do?" she asked with a red blush.
"Only thing I remember is how I felt when you walked in the room." Gajeel grumbled "Other wise my memory's shit." Levy let out a breath she never knew she was holding "You know, now that I think about it. That's how I always felt when you entered a room; probably a medical condition or something. Better see the brat about it." Levy's cheeks became dusted with bright pink when she heard that; he liked her?
"G-Gajeel." She swallowed "I feel the same." he raised a studded eyebrow.
"Damn, thing must be contagious."
"No, it's a good thing! It's what happens when you love someone. The Love Potion was making you notice it more." Gajeel smirked.
"Well then Shrimp, what're we going to do about it? Gihihihihi." He then leaned over, and gave her a kiss to die for.
