"Is this just going to be a thing where I wake up to somebody in my house?" I had just woken up and got dressed in a blue mid sleeve turtle neck, white skirts, black stockings, and white ballet flats and my hair was in pigtails. "That was a dumb question. What's up?"

"This!" Viola grinned shoving a flyer in my face

"Harvest Festival? What's this got to do with me?"

"Check the bottom girl!"

Quirking my brow I read the bottom, "Miss Fairy Tail Contest? You're joking right? There's no way I'm taking part in this."

"But the winner gets 500,000 jewel!"

"Yea? Still not interested."

"Oh come on Nelly! Lighten up will ya? Everyone will be doing it."

"Everyone but me."

"Come on!"

"No."

"Why not?!"

"Because I don't want to! Is that so damn hard to comprehend?!"

"Whoa, sorry..I didn't mean to upset you."

"Just..leave me be ok?"

"Yea..sure. I'll see you later I guess." Viola left without another word. I did feel bad for being so harsh to her but I didn't like the feeling of being pressured into something I had no interest in.

"Why don't you want to enter Noell?"

"Because I don't Marlow."

"Is it the scars? It is isn't it?"

"Enough Marlow.."

"You know nobody cares about those right? You're still beautiful even if you have a few scars.."

"Let's just go to the guild."


"Must eat..must eat everything in sight."

"Chow time yea!"

"Natsu still hasn't recovered huh?"

"He does seem rather ill doesn't he?"

"He'll be fine once he eats. Trust me."

"Serves him right." I scuff, "The idiot should have known better."

"So Noell is you ate something other than ice like fire, would you get sick to?"

"I don't have any doubt about it. If we eat anything other than our own element it's basically poison to us."

"That's gotta be rough."

"Not really, unless you're Natsu who doesn't think."

"You haven't changed a bit Gray."

"Hey Warren! It's been a while."

"Didn't think I'd made it back in time for the festival but here I am."

"This guy takes on so many jobs we hardly ever see him."

"Wow."

"Hello I'm a new recruit, my names Juvia."

"Meet Warren Rocko. He's a master of Telepathy magic."

"It's nice to meet you!" I smile, "I'm Noell Winters and I'm also a new recruit to Fairy Tail."

"I've heard about you. Is it true you managed to melt Gray's heart?"

"Well I.."

"Come on man."

"She may have him but not for long!"

"Oh boy.."

"It's nice to meet you two."

"Thanks."

"Thank you the pleasure is all mine. This festival is quite a sight."

"No kidding! What a crowd."

"It's a pretty big deal, people come from all around to see the Fantasia Parade."

"I can't wait to see it myself!"

"You're in the parade, remember?"

"Wasn't there something else I was supposed to be in? I forgot all about the Miss Fairy Tail Contest! My rent money!"

"Oh great Juvia has that crazy look on her face.."

"A contest? I refuse to be outdone by that bimbo."

"Hey watch what you say about Lucy." I glared

"So I guess you'll be entering to?"

Juvia said nothing as she walked off in the direction Lucy went with a look to kill in her eyes. I sighed slapping a palm to my forehead, "I don't see what the big deal is.."

"Aren't you going to enter?"

"Huh? No, I'm not into those kinds of things.."

"You sure? You'd be tough competition."

I gasped, "You think so?"

"Yea you could probably give Mira a run for her money."

"Thanks" I smile and blush "But I'm really not interested. Besides, I'm voting for Lucy and Viola."

"We should head over to the guild then."

"Right."


"Welcome to the one and only Miss Fairy Tail Contest! Where your favorite fairies fight in the battle of beauty. I'm Max Alors! Sand wizard extraordinaire and I'll be your host for this exciting event!"

"Is he ever going to start the contest?" I mumbled. I was sitting between Gray and Natsu with my elbows on the table and my head slumped between them. Marlow was sat on the table in front of me.

"I expected to see Elfman here but why you?" Gray asked Natsu

"Cause' he's a man!"

"Or just supportive of Lucy?"

"Now let's meet entry number one! The exotic beauty who will drink you under the table any day of the week! Cana Alberona!" I applauded as Cana stepped out on stage, she was really pretty so she had a good chance of winning this too. Come to think of it, every girl at Fairy Tail was incredibly pretty.

"Now bust out some magic and show us your stuff!"

"This guy.." I mumbled

Cana smirked and held a deck of cards up; All at once they started to spin around in a sorts of cloak. When the cards went away Cana was left standing in a seductive pose in a orange and green bikini.

"She changed into a swimsuit!"

"The prize money can cover my tab."

"Wow," I blushed, "Cana's so pretty."

"On to entry number two! She maybe new to the guild but her magic is S class, radiant beauty rain or shine!"

"Rain or shine? Oh God.."

"Juvia Lockser!"

Similar to Cana, Juvia surrounded herself in water and when it went away she was left in a blue and purple polka dot bikini and her eyes were fixed solely on Gray. "Look at me Gray! Do you like what you see!? Are you jealous of my body Noell?!"

"Why would I be jealous?.." I pout "It's not like I'm flat as a bored ya know.."

"You're pretty on the inside Noell!"

"Oh..thanks..Marlow."

"Don't listen to him he doesn't know what he's talking about."

"Yea. ok Gray.."

"Number three Fairy Tail's famous center fold! Her beauty has stolen the hearts of men and woman all over the land! Mirajane!"

"Go Mira!" I cheer

"Now show us your stuff!"

"My specialty is transformation magic so I'll show you a new side of me." Everyone expected Mira to strip into a bikini but instead she transformed her head into Happy. "This is my Happy face!"

"Hah!" I laughed "That's amazing!"

"Here's my Gajeel face!"

"Hahahaha!" Happy laughed

"Well I'm glad at least someone enjoying this."

"She's a man?!"

"Are you kidding me Gray? This is priceless!" I laugh

"It's good to see you smiling."

"Smiling?"

"Yea you've been frowning this whole time."

"Oh.."

"Entry number four the Fairy Queen who needs no introduction!" Suddenly Erza flipped onto stage "Erza Scarlet!"

"Erza to huh? Wow, everyone really did sign up.."

"You should have too Noell! You would have been tough to beat."

"I doubt that.."

"Let me show you a requip you don't get to see everyday. Haaaaah!" Erza yelled requpping into a black and white gothic lolita dress "It looks like I win."

"Are you kidding me?! I have that same dress and I don't look that good in it!" I pouted throwing my head down on the table "Leave it to Erza to bring out all my insecurities.."

"You should model it sometime for me. I bet you look good in it."

"Gray I know that was supposed to be a compliment but it was also really creepy."

Levy and Bisca went on next and their performances were just as amazing as the others, Viola was then called. She appeared on stage with a big robe and suddenly whipped it off revealing and tight and form fitting cat suit. "500,000 jewels will make this kitty purr~" She winked doing a twirl. The crowd cheered loudly for her and she left the stage and I clapped along with a small sweat drop.

"Oh boy.."

"Let's move on to entry number eight! Fairy Tail's rising star..she shines as brightly as the spirits that guide her way Lucy He-"

"Please don't say my last name out loud!"

"Nice save Lu."

"Now show us what you got!"

"Me and my Celestial Spirits are going to do a cheer for you guys!"

"Entry number nine."

"Hey hold on I haven't even started to do my cheer yet!"

"I smell trouble.."

"I am the very definition of fairy not to mention the very definition of beauty. I'm the only woman here who embodies everything men desire, therefore the winner is me, the lovely Evergreen! Now, this idiotic contest can end!"

"Whoa she's back?"

"Then Laxus must be here to."

"Laxus? I knew something smelled wrong.."

"Can't you go mess up a different contest?! Give me a break here I really need this prize money!"

"Lucy! Don't look her in the eye!"

"I'm sorry what was your name?" Evergreen suddenly lifted her glasses and looked Lucy in the eye, turning Lucy to stone.

"Lucy!" I yelled

"This is bad..everyone get out of here now!"

Everyone began to scream and run out of the guild; I was so confused, who the heck was this crazy chick?

"What do you think you're doing Evergreen?! You're ruining the festival for everyone!"

"Mhmhm on the contrary I think things are just getting interesting." As the words left her lips the curtain behind her lifted revealing all the girls to be turned to stone, including Viola. "Viola.."

"No Mira!"

"She got Erza too!?"

"Don't be a fool! Return them to normal this instant!"

A crack of lightning appearing on stage could only mean one thing, "Well looks like all your fans decided to head home. What a pity because the parties about to start!"

"I should have known.."

"Freed? Bickslow too?"

"The Thunder Legion.."

"What the heck are you guys trying to pull?!"

"Come on let's have some fun!"

"I've had about enough of your nonsense. Turn them back or else!"

"You better play nice if you want these ladies to join the parade." A lightning bolt struck beside Lucy and Laxus walked over wrapping his arm around her. I growled lowly tightening my fists, "You bastard!"

"In other words I'm taking all of them hostage. Break the rules and I'll shatter these chicks one by one, or I could just smash them all right now."

"I'm not amused Laxus. Stop fooling around!"

"I'm serious old man."

"I've always wondered who was the strongest in the guild. Now it's time to find out."

"Yea! Let's have some fun!"

"Fun! Fun! Fun!"

"There's only rule; Whoever is left standing in the winner. It's a Fairy Tail Battle Royal!"

"Nice and simple that's just how I like it! I'm fired up now."

"Glad you can see it my way, if nothing else you've got the right attitude."

"Natsu!"

"This is a festival right? Let's party!"

"Have you already forgotten how badly he beat you the last time you guys went at it?"

"I was just a kid back then."

"What do you mean that was last year!"

"Yea but since then I've become a man!" Natsu yelled lunging at Laxus

"On the other hand I think that attitude of yours is going to get you into a world of hurt. Why don't you sit back down!" And out of thin air a lightning bolt struck Natsu.

"Natsu!"

"I told him so."

"He's no man."

"That's enough Laxus! I don't know what kind of sick thrill you get out of this but it needs to end!"

"You," he grinned "I look forward to beating you."

"Anytime you coward!"

"Noell do you want what Natsu got?"

"I'm not afraid of him Gray."

"You should be."

"Naturally if you want me to turn the girls back to normal you're going to have to defeat us first."

"Those odds aren't bad. There's four of us and like a hundred of you guys hahaha!"

"You have three hours and not a second more. After that these pretty statues of yours will be reduced to dust."

"All of Magnolia is your battlefield. The fight will begin when and if you can find us."

"Laxus how could you? I won't stand for this!" Master yelled growing to the size of a giant

"Now, now simmer down old man! It's all part of the festival right? It will be fun!"

"So..bright!" I groaned as a brilliant yellow light filled the guild

"Let the battle of Fairy Tail begin!"

"He disappeared!"

"So it's high stakes hide and go seek huh?"

"Let's go! We gotta man up and save our girls!" Like a stampede everyone rushed out of the guild, all hoping to track and beat down the Thunder Legion.

"You insolent brat! I'll stop you with my own bare hands!" Master yelled running out the door, but instead he hit an invisible barricade. I quickly ran over to see if he was ok.

"Master!"

"What's wrong?!" Gray yelled from the other side

"An invisible wall!"

"Don't be silly Gramps there's nothing here!" Gray said picking him up and trying to pull him trough but to no avail. "Man! What's the deal?! What's that floating above us? Looks like some kind of writing."

"An enchantment?" I mumbled gazing up at the purple writing

"Must be one of Freed's enchantments."

"What do you mean enchantment?"

"It's a barrier formed by magic runes. Anyone who steps inside is bound by it's rules and the only way to escape is to follow them."

"Any idea what it says?"

"Stone statues and anyone over the age of eighty years shall not pass."

"Whoever writes the rules wins the fight huh?"

"Perhaps but enchantments like these take time to write, as such they would be useless in a one on one battle. Still as you can see there quite effective when set us as traps."

"You're really stuck? You can't break trough?"

"I'm afraid the rules of the enchantment are absolute."

"Well I guess that settles it. It looks like we're going to have to go into this battle without you Gramps."

"I'm sorry."

"I won't show mercy even if Laxus is your grandson. He's going to pay for this."

"I'll come with you!" To my surprise as I run towards the barrier I am suddenly thrown back "What the hell?!"

"What's wrong?"

"No!" I yell getting to my feet "This is impossible! I don't get it!" I scream pounding on the invisible wall. "This doesn't make any freaking sense!"

"You can't get trough either? Try harder!" Gray yelled, he took my hands and tried to pull me trough but I couldn't pass trough the damn barrier. "Damn it.." I hiss, "Gray! Go, but be careful alright? Laxus is strong and I'm sure his lackeys are too."

"Yea I know. I'll make him pay, don't worry. Watch over the girls!" He yelled running off

"Master..why can't I get trough? I'm not a statue and I'm only seventeen..this doesn't make any sense!"

"I don't know Noell. We'll just have to have patience and believe in the others."

"It's not that I don't believe in them..I don't trust him."

Laxus you're going to pay! How could you do this to Master and the guild?!


I'm losing my voice now! Joy. Anyways, here's a longer chapter for you :) For the record I ship Noell and Laxus soo hard, not as hard and Noell and Gray but pretty close.

Special Shout Out: I see you see! Where you been? Baby come back, please. God that sounded so creepy.

Not So Fun Fact: Besides losing my voice I am also coughing up blood and burning fevers left and right. Someone send help please.
