Summary: Fairy Tail has to cosplay for the next Magical Games….

Pairings: Implied Mirajane/Laxus, implied one-sided Loke/Levy, implied Natsu/Lucy, implied Alzack/Bisca, implied Erza/Jellal, and lots of general friendship and family feels.

YouTube Prompt: Crack video to the Pokémon theme tune.

"Why are we doing this?"

"Because it's fun!" Mirajane squealed as put the finishing touches of her make up on and then cast a glamour spell to change her hair (which was tied into odd buns either side of her head) from white to a shiny, light, pink. "Last magical games was so boring with just fighting and silly games, the only fun was when we girls got to dress up a bit and even that was boring with you guys joining in."

The look Laxus gave Mira suggested that he would rather be hung, drawn, and quartered than ever join in a fancy dress competition.

It didn't matter though, he had no say in it.

He especially had no say in his costume which was why Mirajane was dressed as a conservative but rather sexy nurse and he was wearing some sort of rat onesie.

"Oh come on Laxus," Mira pouted, "you look cute as Pikachu!"

"Yeah," Elfman chipped in stupidly. He was wearing a lilac dress and red boxing gloves, Laxus couldn't quite remember which Pokémon he was supposed to be and he really didn't care, all he knew was that he wanted to punch Elfman's face in. "You look MANLY!"

Laxus grunted and glowered across the guild. Everyone had taken it a bit too enthusiastically, he didn't recognise many of the Pokémon characters they were dressed as since he wasn't sad enough to memorise a children's show. He did note that Droy was dressed as Bulbasaur with his skin painted a pale blue and he wore some weird green sack on his back while using his magic to create the attack the creature used. He also noticed that Asuka looked adorable in her Caterpie costume and played up the fact she couldn't walk properly in it in order to be carried by her father. Alzack and Bisca ended up dressed in the matching costumes of Nidoking and Nidoqueen though judging by the glares they sent to Evergreen (who wore a Butterfree costume that really just looked like a glamourous purple dress and fairy wings) that wasn't their original plan.The best costume was Kinana's; she wore an incredibly realistic Arbok costume, it brought shudders down everyone's spine as she hissed and spat at them all…..

But the very worst (in Laxus' opinion) was the fact the fire mages coordinated their costumes. Romeo dressed as Charmander and his father was in a matching Charmeleon costume that was one thing, but having Natsu on top of that running about in a Charizard costume…..urgh…..

"It's not fair," Macao bemoaned, "I'm the eldest. Surely it's right that I'm Charizard."

"Heh," Natsu crowed, "it has nothing do with who's the eldest and everything to do with the strongest, and I'm the strongest fire mage in this room, Fire Dragon Roar!"

Everyone screamed as Natsu threw his head back and released a huge blast of fire while he laughed manically and swopped around waving his dragon wings.

For once no one called Laxus a party pooper as he slyly stretched a leg out and tripped Natsu over. The stupid moron tumbled and landed right on top of Lucy's feet just as she walked in.

"I don't want to know," Lucy said as a sweat-drop formed on her forehead, "Natsu will you just get up and stop gawking at me?!"

Natsu didn't obey at all. He just continued to stare dumbly at Lucy. "What the hell did you do to your hair?!" he yelled.

"It's a glamour spell," Lucy rolled her eyes, "I can't be Misty with blonde hair, it's not right."

"I don't like it," Natsu scowled at the red hair tied into a one-sided pony-tail, it was too long to be put in a proper one like the actual character wore, so Lucy returned back to her customary small one that she used to wear all the time before Tenrou Island, and strangely enough (for everyone) she wore denim shorts and a yellow tank top which was weird since the girl usually always wore a skirt. "Change it back!" Natsu demanded childishly. "It looks nicer blonde, all golden and silky, that looks nasty."

Perhaps because there was a compliment somewhere in Natsu's childishness, Lucy just looked vaguely irritated and walked away from Natsu instead of punching him or kicking him like she usually would. "Levy-Chan!" Lucy trilled happily. "You look amazing!"

"Officer Jenny, at your service Lu-Chan," Levy giggled as she adjusted her hat. "You look nice too. I was wondering who Master would ask to be Misty, do you know who will be the other members of the gang?"

"Why, Officer Jenny," Loke purred as he appeared out of nowhere, "I thought you would never ask. Brock is at your service, whatever such beauty desires."

…

There was a deathly silence as everyone took in the fact that Loke seemed to use a lot of spray tan and dyed his hair brown for the occasion. It was so silent in fact that you could hear the window blow through the building and for some reason a tumbleweed that had followed Alzack and Bisca home drifted past….

"OH MY GOD! YOU LOOK SO STUPID!"

And at that everyone fell into hysterical laughter while Loke pouted in the corner. Not that they paid any attention, even Laxus was laughing at this point he snuggled into his onesie and snickered at the sight of the stupid spirit looking even more ridiculous with his sulking.

"All right you brats!" Master snapped as he stepped out of his office. "Enough of this racket we have a cosplaying competition to win."

Everyone stared at their Master with equally horrified (or oblivious in Natsu's case) facial expressions as they took in his costume.

"Where the hell is my Team Rocket?!" Master shouted ignorant of his brats' horror. "We can't do this without Team Rocket."

It was then when the lights went out and a spotlight appeared on the balcony as two people in white costumes stood on the railings.

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

Meredy suddenly jumped down in front of the dumbstruck crowd. "Meowth!" she purred as she waved a paw and winked at everyone. "That's right!"

"What's wrong?" Jellal asked as he realised no one seemed all that pleased with his costume. "Did we do it wrong? Are we wearing the wrong thing? It's my top isn't it? I knew it was too short for me!"

Several male member sweat-dropped as Jellal destroyed whatever shred of masculinity he had with that little worried rant.

"Nonsense, Jellal," Erza said soothingly, "that shirt is the perfect size. It suits you perfectly and emphasises your beautiful a…..I mean, it brings out the colour of your eyes."

Jellal flushed at that. "Thank you Erza," he mumbled shyly.

"Ah," Erza blushed, "it's nothing…."

"Erza, Jellal," Master said tightly as he tried to control his temper, "What are you wearing?"

Erza and Jellal shared a confused look. "Our costumes?" they said in bewildered unison.

"I can see that," Master growled, "but what I don't understand is why Erza is James and Jellal is Jessie…"

"Erm…"

"…Oops?"

Master's eyebrow twitched at that but he shook his head and took a deep calming breath. "Never mind, if we can pull off a transvestite Team Rocket we can do anything," he then brightened up, "in fact I think this might just swing us the first round of the games. Good job Erza and Jellal!"

"Thank you, Master," Erza bowed solemnly as her blue wig slipped slightly, "we are honoured by your compliments."

"Erm, yeah," Jellal mumbled as he was still trying to cover himself, "what Erza said."

"Come on!" Master cheered as he pulled down his hat, "Let's do this thing!" he then pumped a fist in the air and much to everyone's horror began to sing. "I wanna be the very best!" he crooned. "Like no one ever was. "To catch them is my real test. To train them is my cause-"

"That is so wrong," Freed shook his head, Laxus couldn't get over how weird it was to see Freed wear so much make up, and tights, and had a bald cap on…..he really didn't suit the Mr Mime look. "He's so out of tune that we'll lose."

"Yeah," Laxus said in a deadpan voice, "that's what's wrong with an eighty two year old man dressing as a ten year old boy."
