Hey fairy tail fans, welcome to the next exciting chapter of a fairy tail re-told, it's a simple chapter today with little to no backstory I think this one is filler, to be honest, but that's not important I honestly found this episode super funny. but enough about me let's get on with the story

oh and the whole title wouldn't fit in the chapter finder so that's why its; shorter there

Last time on a fairy tail retold

Natsu: that sorcer weekly guy was annoying

Happy: he sure didn't want anything to do with Lucy

Lucy: hey

Erza: I'm just glad things are calming down

Natsu: really, things seem the same to me

Happy: especially with Lucy on the no boyfriend front

Lucy: oh drop it already cat


Dark and rainy days are thankfully a rarity in Magnolia, however, on a day like this we find Juvia in front of a shadowy potion shop, "drip drip drop" Juvia says as she enters the store the rain pouring around her not touching her skin the large crackle of thunder appearing behind her,

Finding herself in front of the owner the man sighed "so you want a potion to make a boy notice you" he was a short man whose hat covered most of his face "my potions can't be tailored to such specific needs" he told Juvia who sighed as more thunder appeared outside

"please sir" Juvia begged "if he were to gaze at Juvia with passionate eyes just once," Juvia told the man as he let out a sigh as pulled something out of his drawer "what's this," she asked as she held the bottle in her hands

"a potion," the man told her "to make sure the man burns with a desire only for you," he told her as Juvia overlooked the bottle "and it's yours for 60,000 jewels"

"seems rather pricy," Juvia asked

"I don't have time to haggle young lady," the man told her "did I mention it's 100% effective," he said which caught Juvia's attention as she heard more lightning outside

"100%," JUuvia said she looked at the bottle and an image of Gray appeared in her mind "Juvia will take the whole bottle" Juvia sad as the man smiled after completing the purchases Juvia walked out little did she, no that potion she purchased would be responsible for untold chaos and bringing her team to its knees


Special request: Watch out for the guy you like!


Lucy let out a groan as she laid her head on the bar "I'm so bored" she shouted catching Mira's attention who laughed at the girl taking a look there were a few jobs on the board that no one had gone to grab yet, but none of them paid well, but still they might

"why not take a job" she offered

"remember your not letting my team take jobs for the next to months," Lucy told her puffing her cheeks which made Mira sigh

"I said Natsu's not taking any jobs for the next month," Mira said " I never said anything about the rest of you" Mira turned around to face her now the Lucy had now sat up and was looking a little sad " beside it is important to take a break now and again" Mira told her "your still human Lucy" Mira informed her 'besides you guys have been through a lot in the past year alone, I'm terrified of what the coming year will bring

"I know," Lucy said sighing "but we're a team," Lucy said "and we should stick together," Lucy said which was her first mistake as an evil grin appeared on Mira's face yet it ways unnoticed by Lucy

seeing a chance to have some fun she figured a way she could quote 'cure her boredness' she was a she-devil after all and besides she needed to help Natsu start growing closer with others again so win-win on her part "you and Natsu are so loyal to each other" she said in the sweetest voice she could muster placing her hand on her cheek and giving a smile to make it seem authentic she remembered doing this on missions man how she missed those days "it's almost as if you're a couple"

nearly spitting out her dink Lucy stood up "what" she practically shouted "no way Mira, it... it's not like that" Lucy faltered a light blush appearing on her cheeks "and never will" Lucy said Mira could hear a hint of sadness in her voice but decided to continue

"you never know" Mira teased "deep down Natsu may have a feeling for you," she told her

looking back Lucy saw Natsu on the table making a fool of himself shaking his butt, it was clear he was starting to lose it from being cooped up in hear for so long "even so, I think I'll pass" she said as Natsu contuied Erza and Gray even stopped and stared at the boy in confusion

behind them Juvia with her potion in hand "please Gray" she said "just one look at Juvia with passionate eyes" Juvia said imaging Gray staring at her 'Juvia is just shaking with anticipation' Juvia said but before she could Gray had already disappeared


Mira's word rang with her all the way home shaking them out of her head "sometimes I wish Mira would keep her crazy ideas to herself" Lucy said as she reached her and her friend's apartment entering her room she let out a sigh but jumped when Natsu greeted her on the couch "yo" he said with a toothy grin

"how do you keep getting in here," Lucy asked only to be ignored by Natsu

"never mind that," he told her "there's something I need to tell ya" Natsu which made Lucy sigh

"what is it" she froze when Mira's words played in her head 'he might have feelings for you' suddenly backing up 'oh god what he's about to" she looked at Natsu who was confused sitting on her chair a large blush appearing on her cheeks "um could you get out" she muttered a shadow of red cover her face

"but I need to ask you something," Natsu said standing up which made Lucy scream

"OUT!" she yelled which caused the dragon slayer to jump back

"fine" he went to the window and started to leave

"use the door" she yelled as he jumped out leaving her to her own thoughts on the matter "what if he does like me," Lucy said her heart rate was increasing to point hse could hear her heart "that can't be right," Lucy said as she fell to the floor


[##Happy theme##]


the next day Lucy let out a sigh as reading her book "another day," Lucy said as she took a bite out of her granola bar when Natsu appeared from behind her wrapping his arm around her shocking the girl

"What's up Lucy," he said as the girl pushed herself away from him

"umm don't just do that" Lucy said backing away

"do what," Natsu asked as Lucy walked away from him

'damn it" the girl cursed herself 'I need to get these stupid thoughts out my head' Lucy told herself as Gray ran up to Natsu and started a fight which Juvia looked from behind a pillar

"yesterday" Juvia started "yesterday Juvia was nervous, but today she can go through with the plan" remembering the man told her to blow the bubbles into Gray 'the more Juvia wait for you Gray the more her desires start to get the better of her' Juvia said ' soon our hearts will be one"

Natsu then stopped mid-fight "shit, I almost forgot I had to go do something"

"what type of excuse is that," Gray told him

"You guys won't believe this" Warren said on a table Lucy was passing "but I think Natsu has a crush on somone"

"really," Macao asked "man that's new"

"are you sure," Wakaba asked

"this is Natsu we're talking about," Max said

"I know what I heard," Warren said "he's been going, I gotta see her, a lot lately," he said much to Lucy's dismay

'what am I going to do' Lucy cried in her mind 'I'm the her," Lucy felt her body go stiff as she tried to walk away 'it's not like I don't like him' Lucy said to herself 'it's just we may not be compatible' Lucy told herself 'yeah that's it, even though I've never had a boyfriend before' 'damn it, Mira' Lucy shouted as she imaging her Natsu together

"are you okay," Natsu asked from behind her

calming down Lucy faced him 'yeah fine why do you ask" she said all too quickly

"good" Natsu said " can we meet up tonight," Natsu said "there's something I need to ask you" this got a reaction from Lucy as Natsu contuied "meet by the south gate park," Natsu said which made Lucy panicked a bit

"Umm sure" she managed out" but can you tell me what this is for," Lucy asked

letting out a laugh a blush appeared on Natsu's face he turned away embarrassed "all I can say it's important" he told her "so could you come alone" he asked

'Oh my god he's blushing,' Lucy said a blush growing on her cheeks 'I can't believe I'm seeing Natsu blush, it's actually kind f cute-ahh stop it brain' he then ran off leaving Lucy to ponder what just happened Lucy felt actual steam coming from her ears as she turned to face Mira who was busy trying to hold in her laugh she had no idea what Natsu wanted with Lucy, but his timing as all ways was impeccable "Umm Mira"Lucy muttered she was in a too much of a daze to see the girl trying to hide her smile "I'm heading home for the day"

"okay Lucy" Mira managed to force out before evolving into a laughing fit acting her magic brought out the playful side of her again a part of her feeling terrible for playing Lucy like that, but still she knew once the girl realized it was all in her head she couldn't even bat an eye

meanwhile Gray still in utter confusion of what was happening Juvia saw her chance to softly blowing some bubbles toward Gray they would miss however and go into other patrons of the pub

"Oh my love," Juvia said"why must you keep moving, at this rate everyone here but you will be in love with me, that's disturbing thought" making another attempt Gray finally inhaled the bubbles "Finally, Juvia will finally have her Gray look at her with passionate eye" she said as Gray stared in her direction and walked past her "what"

"You" Gray growled towards Happy who looked back with confusion "You have some nerve, trying to show me up" Gray started which got confused looks from Juvia Warren, and Max "I'm incredibly strong but I can't fly, you pathic weak but you can fly" Gray shouted " as far as I'm concerned that makes us even, you are my rival" ray shouted

"what" Happy screamed 'someone help"

"square up furball" Gray shouted as Happy tried to run away


[##Lucy Ganbru##]


Macao and Wakaba started to argue both making jokes about who made more money Erza walked up to a pillar "curse you pillar" Erzaz shouted " you laugh at me don't you knowing well that you are preventing me from passing through here unhindered" Erza said "from the moment we meet I knew we would be rivals"

"you can't rival with inmate objects Erza," Warren told her

"it would make sense if it was a caterpillar though" Happy said

"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that," Max said

"Hey red" Mira shouted "I hear you're pretty strong so why don't we fight out to see who truly is the strongest girl in team fairy tail," Mira said "but know I'm not holding back case I'm not losing to my eternal rival"

"what's going on," Happy asked as Gray appeared in front of him "I found you," he said dragging the cat to the roof of the pub t laughing "just you wait for cat I'm going to fly farther and faster than you," Gray said laughing

"this is dangerous Gray" Happy said

"watch me"

behind them, Juvia was confused "the old man said nothing about a delay effect" now before you get too confused the potion the old man gave Juvia was actually a mix of bad potions the reason he did that, well he skipped town the same night so why would he care what would happen let's all hope for our fairy tail friends


Back at fairy tails apartment Lucy was in the bath trying to calm herself down to no avail "what am I going to do" Lucy said still blushing from the thought of Natsu liking her "it's obvious he's going to confess his love for me" Lucy said "I'll need to turn him down, even though it's going to be awkward" Lucy said as she got out of her bath 'this my chance to try on my new dress" Lucy said 'yes I look smoking hot in this" realizing what she did she backtracked "no, that's not what I want" Lucy screamed "I have an idea {open gate of the giant crab: cancer} Lucy said Cancer appeared behind Lucy to trim her hair like always before being knocked out by Lucy "damn it" she screamed after he finished and she apologized

back at the pub things we're slowly getting worse Macao and Wakaba had tallied up there saying "I made 150,00 jewel" they screamed in unison "we made the same amount"

"Where are all thr real men in this place" Elfman screamed

'is he looking for a rival or a man' Warren asked

'I don't want to know'

"you think your superior huh" Freed said "time to see which three-man team is the best in all of Magnolia" he shouted as his team struck a pose only to countered by Levy and her team shadow gear "how dare you"

"you have no idea who you're messing with pal," Levy told him smirking as freed got angered

'are they having a pose-off'

meanwhile, Lucy found herself outside while to men in boats past bye "be careful Lucy" they said "wouldn't want to fall in before your big date" they said as he strode off

Lucy looked down and smiled "there's no denying it, I look good" realizing again what she was doing n"o, it shouldn't matter how I look, this isn't a date" she shouted with as much pain she could muster looking around before sighing "mabey I do like him" she said "no I shouldn't let myself fall in love with someone I work with" Lucy argued with herself "but since we're on the same team, we can look out for each other" shaking her head again "no your letting Mira's craziness get in your head, you need to think how he feels too" Lucy said "I mean does he even know what love is" Lucy pondered letting out sigh I" have to go through with this for both our sakes"

Meanwhile back at the pub, Erza contuied to attack the pillar determined to destroy it changing into her heavens wheel armor she slashed at the pillar with all her strength


[##satan soul theme##]


"Erza please stop," Warren asked

"I think Erza finally met an opponent as stubborn as she is" Happy sid

"is that a good or bad thing," Max asked

before Happy could answer Mira appeared and punched them out the way "fight me now Erza" she screamed

"can't you see I'm in the middle of battling my life long rival," Erza told her as she thrusting another sword in the pillar

"I won't be ignored" Mira shouted her dark energy surrounding her "satan soul" Max and Warren looked in horror as Mira transformed in front them before either could react Erza requipped into her purgatory armor and both violent assaulted both of them Elfman jumped activated his beast soul only to be knocked out, Mira

meanwhile on the roof Happy came back to ee Gray still trying to fy "Gray stop" Happy pleaded "this isn't going to work"

"you're not talking your way out of this one cat" Gray shouted "I'm going to fly further and faster"

"this isn't working," Juvia said "mabey more potion" she blew more bubbles into Gray which caused the reaction and magic energy to increase

"I'm all fired up" Gray shouted before he jumped or more like ran down the roof up to a cliff jumping 'I'm a bird in the wind," he said calmly as he sored through the air


Lucy walked herself to Magnolia south gate park her mind going over 50 miles a microsecond even then she found herself stuttering at words 'don't be nervous' Lucy said as she reached the tree she stopped 'wait where is Natsu" she then heard shoveling walking around the tree she saw Natsu working in what looked like a flower patch walking up he turned and noticed her he waved and flashed a smile

"you made it," he said

"there was something you wanted to ask me," Lucy said

"oh yeah," Natsu said "it's kinda embarrassing though" he admitted "could you help fix this" he pointed to patch of flowers a few bags of seeds that he would

not knowing what to say Lucy was confused this was what it was he didn't have a crush she was about to ask but she saw the seriousness in his eyes the one he has when he's fighting. letting out a short laugh "how could I say no to you Natsu"

Natsu growled something which only made her laugh 'I can't believe I let myself fall victim to Mira, I'm going got have to get her back for that" Lucy said to herself before she began helping she would ruin her new dress but anything for her friend it was hours later when they said they'd go home a thought came to Lucy' head "hey Natsu"

"Yeah"

"have you ever loved someone before," Lucy asked she saw the look of confusion on his face "it's just easier people were saying you had liked someone"

a look of sorrow then came on his face as he looked away smiling a bit he sighed he thought of lying acting like an idiot but he ultimately decided against it "once" he said an image of Lissana appeared in his head he shook the thought out and looked at Lucy she was cute beautiful even , but he couldn't let himself fall in love again he just couldn't which was hard when she just made him feel so at ease "I've only ever loved once" he said 'but that was years ago, and it was a different time, and a different me" Natsu explained as he turned to face her trying to force a smile on his face "it just hasn't happened or been on my mind since"

"really, who was it," Lucy asked and immedilty regretted

"I don't want to talk about it," Natsu clear pain in his voice

"Oh I'm sorry," Lucy said Natsu smiled and grabbed her hand

"it's alright," Natsu said

"You know were there for you," Lucy said "Me, Erza, Mira, Juvia, Elfman hell even Gray and Gajeel," she told him gripping his arm "we're family," she told him "so don't be afraid to come to us"

looking at Lucy one more time he smiled for the first time in forever Natsu felt a genuine smile on his face "I know" Natsu whispered smiling as gave Lucy a hug causing the girl to blush when they separated Natsu smiled "thanks Lucy, I should get home it's late" he said

"yeah me too" Lucy whispered as she watched Natsu leave her they were at her apartment she didn't even notice it 'that went better than I thought it would' Lucy said to herself ' In the end, I learned more about my partner, and who knows mabey one day' she smiled 'mabey'


the next day everyone looked at the carnage of the pub in confusion "um what happened here" Erza asked as People looked around her as Warren and Max let out a breath of fresh air 'it's finally over they both thought outside Gray was still in the water

"come on Gray," Happy said "it's morning" soon the water spread as Juvia appeared next to Gray "Juvia, mabey you can knock some sense into him"

"Juvia is sorry beloved" Juvia started " she realizes now she didn't love you as strong as she thought as tears escaped her eyes gray started to come too

"Juvia," he asked

"your okay" Juvia shouted with glee

"man what happen" Gray asked

"you're well again," Juvia said "Juvia is glad you're okay"

"she loves you"Happy beamed in his teasing tone

"I wondered why I was cold," Gray said"I always end up soaking wet when you're around, you know I hate that," Gray said as Juvia looked away "you okay" before he could react Juvia shoved the potion in his mouth making his body go a multitude of colors

"love Juvia" Juvia shouted "you'll drink every last drop" Gray rose up before sprinting off leaving behind a disheartened Juvia "no," she said as Gray told the horizon that it was his rival seems Juvia like Lucy also has bad luck with men


A few days later Lucy sat at the bar smirking "hey Mira" Lucy called the barmaid over 'now my chance a nuff time has passed for it not to be too weird when I tell her this' Lucy smiled evilly as Mira approached

"what is it Lucy," Mira asked

"I just wanted to know why you're so interested in Natsu's love," Lucy said as Mira smiled nervously

"oh just trying to be a good big sister," Mira told Lucy 'damn it did she figure me out' Mira wondered 'I hope not' Mira pondered her options 'play it cool she's probably concerned and still nervous about what I did, yeah that's it' breathing in "I just want to make sure he's happy cause then I'm happy" Mira said with as much confidence she could muster

'right into my trap" Lucy said to herself 'your not the only who can play mind games Mira "is that so" Lucy started catching the take over users attention who nodded "that's funny, cause a few days ago Natsu was told me something that I find weird" Lucy started 'flase security and I just need to real her in' Lucy said 'time for a taste of your own medicine Mira

"what was it"

"said something about how four years ago" Lucy started "you forced to hang out with you behind everyone back," Lucy said, funnily enough, she didn't know she was right cause Mira started to sweat bullets, "he said it felt like a date, cause it was just the two of you

'she couldn't have, no Natsu would never tell' Mira said "I don't know what you mean"

"well there's a chance this girl is you, Mira," Lucy said "I mean he does care for you a lot," Lucy said inwardly smirking

"I thought" she shook her head "after Lissana" Mira's brain was steaming at the thought of her and Natsu seeing this Lucy smirked

"he also said he might want to" Lucy was sure to drag this out for all it was worth "his dragon slayer if you catch my drift," Lucy said trying to fight the need to laugh

"Natsu's [insert censorship here]" Mira mind started to go blank she'd be lying if she said she never thought about it unable to form words at the moment Lucy smiled at her handy work

"Hey Mira" Natsu called causing the girl to shriek scaring Natsu

"you okay sis," he asked

"I'm fine," Mira said blushing "peachy as always"

smiling Natsu hoped over the counter to give her a hug "okay then you looked nervous so I came to check" he then kissed her on the cheek "love ya sis" he then hoped over again winking at Lucy as he left

"and that's why we're partners," Lucy said as Mira started to breakdown

"I " Mira could find words at the moment as Lucy left

"see ya later Mira" she said winking as she left catching on to what just happedn Mira couldn't believe it she played her smiling as she tried to calm herself down from that experience 'I can;t have a crush on Natsu, not after he lost Lissana, but I mean I am technically a reminder of, stop it Mira' Mira said shaking her head Lucy had got her good

"Well played heartfilla, well played"


And that's a wrap

how do you guys feel about this chapter I changed it a lot from the original adding a touch of NaMi in there cause why not and the Nalu moment cause it's not going to get a lot of focus in the upcoming arc (I'm sorry Nalu fans) the hang out behind everyone back was inspired by another fanfic I read called MY bloody Valintine by BlaccDragon25 where they do just that go on a date behind everyone's (mostly Lissana's) back it's worth a read if you like NatsuX Mira fics but anyway tell your thoughts in the comments
