A week later

Team Natsu (complete by this ark) was walking to a theater to assist in a job, thought half were force into it by the clan heads as a bonding exercise. "Mimimimimi, Lalalalalala," "What is Erza doing?" Lucy asks Natsu. "She always wanted to be part of a play." "She does know that her horrible singing is not needed." Mira get punch in the face as the she and Erza fight again while Gray and Natsu try to finish their.

At the theater

"We're here-Ugh!" the owner opens the door which slams Natsu to the wall. "You must be here for the job, I'm sorry but the theater is being torn down." Naruto step on front of the group. "Explain."

A few minute later

"Lalala, lololo lululu," * bonk* "Nobody want to hear you sing."Erza and Mira bonk each other with pyriform sword as Lucy, Levy, and Hinata work on the script. "Give the manliest role in the play!" "Just make him a guardian beast or something!" Gajeel get hugs by Elfman. "You truly get me!" "Let me go you buffoon!" "Gray-sama, can you help Juvia with her costume?" Gray turn around to see Juvia in a mermaid costume, before feeling something harden. 'Dam it hormone.' Lisanna try to keep Cana silver as Natsu wear a dragon head. "Hey Happy, are you part of the play." "Yeah, just at the end thought."

Play start

As Lyra play her harp, the curtains rise to show Lucy in a tower.

"Once upon time, there was a princess golden hair, she was curse to love no one but her true price charming. The king and queen had search the kingdom to find this prince only to return with nothing. They were force to send her to the tower because her beauty cause many men to become greedy."

Lucy watch the sun set for the night. "I can show and feel other emotions, but why can't I love anything. I care for my parent, but can't love them. I wish I can love somebody."

"Thought she felt lonely, she did had a knight to protect her from invaders. She was clad in black armor to scare most of them, as the remains were defeated by her sword skill".

"Milady, are you-you-you..." Mira laugh at Erza stage-fright that a form sword was launch. "...you okay?" "There no need to be form, and yes, just sad."

"Sorry princess Lucy, but don't be. You find your true love soon."

"As they see the sun set, a demi devil appears at the bottom."

Gray appears with horns on his head and took off his clock while lay on the tower. "I search through the land to find the song of the one who stole my heart." "GRAY-SAMA!" * bonks* As Gray rest, Lucy sings a song similar to the one he hear in the past. Curios, he climbs to the top to see Lucy. "Good evenly madam, did you know who-" "Die!" Erza try to slash Gray with a real sword only for him to block it with an ice sword.

As the demi-devil and knight fight, fourth person was climb the other side of the tower.

"Damn it. If those two do something to her, I will kill them." Gajeel had reach the top and sneak behind Lucy to knock her out. "They better keep their side of the deal or there will be pain." As Gajeel carries Lucy on his shoulder, Erza saw them and try to catch them, but slip on some ice. As she regains balance, the two were out of her sight. Gray was then held to the sky with a blade on his neck. "Where is your partner taking her?" I don't know that dude!" "Don't lie to me, I know you try to make love with her!" "LOVE RIVAL!" * bonkx2* "I JUST ASKING WHERE SHE HEAR THE SONG BECAUSE I LOOKING FOR THE GIRL WHO SANG IT THE LAST TIME I HEAR IT!" GRAY-SAMA!" * Bonkx3* "We need more sticks!" "I understand." Erza then drag Gray by his collar. "You will now help me rescues her if you want to ask her that."

Scene change

"As our two heroes walk through the wood, an old frenemy of the knight block their path."

"Hello Titanica, be a while." "Mira." Gray look confuse at why Erza know a demon. The two stare at each other with killing intent, as if a sudden sound cause them to tear each other apart. "Gray, this is Mira. We were rival in protecting Lucy, thought aren't you supposed to be guarding the front gates?" "Well, someone knock me out as I was talking to my siblings in the lacrima. Went I woke up, you guys were near so I checks on what happen in the tower." Gray look away Erza drop her head in shame. "Misguided attack?" "Yeah."

"While they head to the gateshouse to prepare for the journey, Lucy and the theif was in the woods.

"So, what your name?" "You been take by a stranger and the first thing you say is that!" Lucy just shrugs her shoulder. "This is the first time I been kidnapped." "Sigh, Gajeel." "Lucy, so why did you do it?" "Let just say a friend of my got too noisy she being held until you were taking to meet them." "Hurray for new people." "You don't go out much, do you?" She nodded.

"As they talk on, the three rescuers settled in the plain for the night. But to their surprise, a cart was park and a woman came out."

"Welcome brave warriors to Cana fortune and bar!" Erza step up to Cana. "Excuse me but~" you want to know if Lucy safe in the future." "How do you~" "Simply, my cards know all." Gray cut in before Erza freak out. "If you know what happen, then you can tell me where I can find the girl~" "Who sing the lovey song you hear, just follow me in the morning and all be fine."

"As the night past through the sky and the first light of the day shine. The princess woke up to a purr."

"Kitty." She said as she turns to see Lissanna in her cat take over form. "Meow." Lucy place her hand under Lissanna's chin and tickle it. "Meow!" "So cute!" "What?!" Gajeel woke up from his sleep and fell from the branch of the tree he was sleeping on then landed on his head. "Owww!"

"While those two argues about adding a third component, the other group were at a bridge."

"Here we are!" Cana was suddenly bop on the head by Erza. "You say you take us to Lucy!" "I am, but first we must pick up an ally." "Mmmaaannnlllyy!" Elf appear in his king beast form landing at the ground. "Elf-nii!" "Mira-nee!" they hug then Elfman lift Mira and start spin. "Aaaah, who is he?" "Elfman is Mira's younger brother and guards the bridge." Gray then turn to Cana. "Is this the ally we need in our journey?" "Yeah, thought I only see glimpses of the future so don't ask why."

"While the brother and sister get caught up in time, the princess have a talk with the cat."

"So, you have the ability to transform into any animal and you chose a cat because..." "Because they are cute." "Idiots." Gajeel have to listen to them having a girl-talk until they reach a lake. "Okay cat, it was...nice that you came with us but this is as far as you go." Lissanna pause to think for a moment. "...okay, I hope we meet again." She hurry off to sunset, even thought it noon. "Bye-bye kitty!"

"Their quest almost complete, but now the other we will see."

"We will rest for a while then continue until sunset." The group was tire then a cheetah in a marathon. While they enjoy the scenery, they didn't notice that they were being stalked. "Nya!" Lissanna jump from a tree and pound on her siblings. "Mira-nee, Elf-nii!" "Lissanna!" "Let me guess, they're family." "Yes." Just as they getting use a new member, a voice was singing. "That voice..." Gray whisper to himself. "Oh seen Juvia woke up." Lisanna then tell them to follow her.

"They were heading to the lake but the princess was meeting her new fates."

Gajeel and Lucy were at the throne room waiting for whoever want Lucy. "So, why do they want me?" "Don't know, just here get my friend." Just then, Naruto and Hinata appear with Levy in chains. "Well you kept your promise, well you can have your girlfriend back." Naruto said before throwing Levy who yell. "We're not dating!" Gajeel grab her before she landed and head off but not before saying. "Shrimp is not my girlfriend!" Lucy then face the only two people in the room. "So, why am I here?" "Well, a friend of our have a crush on you and we want you to meet him. don't worry, we take you back home late." Hinata said. "More friend for me."

"The princess was happy to have a new friend but the knight know nothing about this and fear for the worst, while the demi-demon get to see the one who save him." "Yay!" * Bonkx6 "Sorry, force of habit."

As the gang walk to the edge of the shore, they see Juvia swaying her mermaid's tail on the surface of the water. "Hey Juvia!" Juvia and said Lisanna with others. "Lissanna, Juvia happy to see you again!" As Lissanna have Juvia greet everyone, while remember an unforgettable event. "Gray? Gray!" "Huh?" "Greet Juvia." "Hi here I'm-" "Gray-sama! We meet before, or I know of you because I've save you when your village was attack." Every on that didn't know that grasp. "Juvia was swinging nearly when fire was burning everything. I was going to go inside until Gray-sama was falling into the water. "Juvia grab Gray-sama before he drowns and took to shore him to heal, he was badly wounded. I sing to him to help him sleep thought he was gone one day while Juvia was getting food." "In my defense, I woke up and was running to my village to look for survives and forgot that someone has save me until I past the mountain rage." Silent was in the air until the sound of water breaking gain everyone attention. A boat was rowing across the lake and in it was Gajeel and Levy. "I can't believe you kidnaps a princess just to save me!" "Calm down, they won't do a thing to her. Plus, she wants to explore outside her tower." While they were arguing, they didn't notice the ice forming in the water, but they did notice the demonic aura of Erza with a ready to swing sword. "Where is Princess Lucy?!" Levy just hop on Gajeel and shiver. "She in the castle, but please don't hurt Gajeel, he did it to save me who was capture at the time!" She says to Erza. Mira thought of all kind of lovey dovey stuff that it happening. While Erza is accepting their words. "Okay then, you be helping us by rescuing her or face my rage." "Okay." They said quietly.

"They skate through the ice bridge toward the castle while defeating any guards on the way, unknown that the the princess's curse is broken."

In the castle, Naruto and Hinata were finish eating where the front doors burst open. "Give us back princess Lucy!" Hinata look at Naruto with a 'I-told-you-so' look on her face while he sighed. "Are you going to pay for the the doors?" Erza, who been tick off by the question, shouted, "NEVER!" "Well then, we better teach you a lesson." The head leaders release their magic, it force the others to shiver in fear. "Hey! What going on!" Natsu appear with devil horns and dragon wings with Lucy smiling. "They won't pay for the door they destoryed even thought we broke Lucy's curse." "Lucy, is this true?" "Yup, and it all thank to this hunk of cuteness." Lucy pat Natsu back. Erza suddenly bow to them as if they are gods. " I internally thankful for you have done, I will have the fineness in the land to fix it!" Gajeel mumble how he the better there is and Levy pat him while agreeing. "There no need; just don't burst through others doors." Naruto joked and everyone laugh (get it, because he didn't say not to break them.) * cricket chirps * (Tough crow).

Happy fly down with a THE END sign saying, "and they all live happily ever after, The End."

5 hour

"Thank you very much for doing all those encore, I now have enough to get actors!" "No problem." "My back is killing me for holding the sign." happy complant as Natsu, Gray(who is in his boxers), Gajeel, and Elfman were braweling, Erza brought the costume, Levy and Lucy were reading books, Cana drinking beer, and Mira and Lissanna were passing out snack. Hinata was on top of Naruto who was wearing his cloak. "Okay guys, it time to head home." "Yay!"

Outside

"Hurry Carla, We going to miss the play!" said a small blue hair girl to a white cat. "Why did you want to see it Wendy when we just finish a job." "Because people say it is amazing." Wendy's eyes sparkle while Carla just sighs. "Even thought I can take you there much faster with my wings, you want to try doing things for yourself. I hope we meet your older siblings soon so I could thank them before facing my mission." As they run toward the theater, Team Fairy Tail was in a hurry to reach their train thank to overdoing their sightseeing. Soon enough, the two were able crash, but thank to their special train, Wendy was able to grab Carla and spin through them like a leaf riding the winds through the forest. The other wide the spade as much as possible to get through at high speed. As the girls got close to them, Naurto took a sniff and was shock of seeing his little sister again. Hinata sense her mate sudden movement, active her to see similar magic traits of a family member and nodded to correct his suspicions. "Finally, we found the last of our dragon sibling." Both pick up their speed with the others. "That was danger Wendy; you could have got everyone hurt. Are you even listening to me?" "Oh, sorry Carla. I thought I smelt my big bro and sis back there, but it was too weak to be them." * sigh * "Don't worry, this just mean they are closer that we think. But we better hurry if we want to see the play." Oh, that right!" When they get there, it was close for the day.
