A/N: Merry Christmas. So I decided that I wanted to do a Christmas chapter for one of my stories and decided to do one for Lost Fairy. It might seem weird but I wanted to do this to give a bit of a background on how the world was before. I hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail but I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
About eight prior to the start of the story
The time had finally come, it was Christmas. The town was covered with snow and the citizens were all decorating. The day was Christmas Eve. The Fairy Tail guild currently decorating the giant tree that was placed at the guildhall. Everyone was busy with either decorating or last minute Christmas shopping. Romeo walked into the guild hall and was met by a cheerful Natsu.
"Yo Romeo it's about time you got here." Natsu said as he put his arm around Romeo. "What took you so long?"
"I was getting a last minute gift." Romeo answered.
"Well it's good to finally have you here. So are you ready for the Christmas party?" Natsu asked.
"I'm ready for it, I just hope we bought enough alcohol to appease Cana and Bacchus." Romeo replied.
"Well I think we did but tonight's going to be a fun night, a big party with all the main guilds, Sabertooth, Mermaid Heel, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus, man this is going to be a fun night." Natsu shouted.
"Natsu remember, no starting fights tonight " Lucy told Natsu as she walked over
"Lucy, I don't understand how you will be able to keep Natsu from fighting anyone. It's basically been impossible to keep him from fighting." Romeo commented.
"Well I got a few tricks of my own that should keep him behaving." Lucy replied.
"So, has Cana found where we hid all the alcohol yet or has someone has to lock her in the cage again?" Romeo asked.
"We've hidden it quite well this year so I think we should be good." Lucy said as a loud explosion was heard.
A little bit later Cana ran from one of the rooms with a barrel in her arms.
"So you hid it quote good you say." Romeo teased.
Lucy grabbed her whip as she grabbed Cana and started go pull her towards the basement.
"I gave you a chance Cana, now it's back to the cage." Lucy shouted as she pulled Cana.
"I'm sorry but I only took one barrel. Don't put me back in the cage." Cana pleaded as she disappeared into the basement with Lucy.
"Looks like we won't have to be worrying about Cana for the next couple hours." Romeo commented.
"I'm hear that," Natsu said as she remembered what he was going to say, "That reminds me, Romeo are you ready to party?"
"As long as you don't that turn this party into a giant brawl like last year." Romeo replied.
"Hey that one wasn't even my fault, I was framed and you know it." Natsu shouted.
"Well that's what you say but from what I heard, you did hit Gray through Erza's cake." Romeo responded.
"I was knocked into Gray, why does nobody believe me?" Natsu asked.
"Maybe because you are known for causing brawls." Freed said as he walked by.
"See, all evidence points to you." Romeo added.
"Well watch, this year I'm going to be at the party and I won't be involved in one brawl." Natsu revealed.
"Sure, that's like saying Cana won't try to take the alcohol for the party and look where she's at right now." Romeo replied.
"Do you want to fight, because I'll fight with a sixteen year old," Natsu shouted, " I don't care, you're basically an adult already."
"Well what do you mean by that?" Romeo asked.
"Well you are a mage so that kind if makes you an adult. Also, remember I'm a dragon slayer so I can smell things most people don't usually smell." Natsu revealed as Romeo's face changed to rival Erza's hair.
"Not a single word." Romeo said as he walked off.
Romeo walked over to the bar where Mira was serving drinks.
"What can I get for you?" Mira asked.
"Since it's Christmas Eve, I'll take some eggnog. Some from Cana's stash." Romeo replied.
"You know she won't like that right?" Mira asked.
"I know but what's she going to do? She's still stuck inside that cage." Romeo answered.
"Alright but if she gets angry don't saw I didn't warn you." Mira said as she poured eggnog from a cartoon kept behind the counter. "You know I wouldn't be giving that you you if it wasn't Christmas right?"
"I know but I think that if I could fight dangerous Rogue mages for a living, than I could at least drink." Romeo commented.
"The legal age to drink is eighteen." Mira reminded Romeo.
"If I don't get it from you, I could always get it from other sources, this way is just easier." Romeo told Mira. "So what time is the party supposed to start?"
"The party starts at seven." Mira revealed.
Romeo looked at the clock and saw that it was only 5:30.
"Looks like I still have a bit of time than." Romeo said as he took a drink of his eggnog.
"So did you finish all of your Christmas shopping?" Mira asked. "I noticed that you came in later than usual."
"Ya, I had to finish my shopping earlier. I also had to go home and finish wrapping everything." Romeo replied.
"So do you have any special plans for Christmas?" Mira asked.
"Not really, I'm just planning on relaxing." Romeo answered.
"Aww, why aren't you doing anything?" Mira asked.
"Well my dad went with Wakaba on a two week vacation so he's gone and I don't really feel like bothering anyone." Romeo replied.
"You wouldn't be bothering anyone Romeo, I don't know why you feel like that." Mira told Romeo.
"Well I guess you're right, I still have a bit more time." Romeo said while staring at the clock.
"What do you mean?" Mira asked.
"Nothing, I'm just talking to myself." Romeo said as he took a drink of his eggnog.
"All right I'll be back." Mira said as she went around the guild collecting people's empty mugs.
"I wish this could all last forever. Sadly, it can't." Romeo told himself as he finished his eggnog.
Romeo got up and left the guild. He walked down the road for a bit until he reached a park. He sat down under a tree just staring into the sky. Romeo sat unmoving for a while. He did this until a figure approached him.
"Hey, shouldn't you be heading to the guild?" The person asked.
Romeo looked at the person and saw Wendy standing above him.
"What time is it?" Romeo asked.
"It's a quarter to seven. I was heading to the guild and saw you sitting here. Why are you here by yourself?" Wendy asked.
"I just wanted to get some fresh air. I was just enjoying the quietness and lost track of time." Romeo answered. Romeo got up and the two started to walk to the guild. "Why are you out here alone?"
"Well I was just looking at different shops to waste time." Wendy answered.
"Shouldn't you be with with Haise?" Romeo asked.
"He's finishing a last minute mission so he's going to be a bit late. He said he would make the party though." Wendy explained.
"Well that's good to here. I was starting to worry that you were abandoned by your boyfriend." Romeo replied.
"He wouldn't just abandon me like that. Besides even if he tried, he would be hunted down by the other dragon slayers so there wouldn't be a place he could hide." Wendy joked.
"What about you, shouldn't you be rushing to the guild for when your girlfriend arrives?" Wendy asked.
"Well I believe that we still have a few minutes before she arrives." Romeo said as the two walked into the guild.
"Hey, it's about time you got back." Cana yelled from the bar.
"Looks like you finally got let out of the cage." Romeo yelled back.
"I know that you were the one who drank some of my eggnog Conbolt. I was saving that for later." Cana complained.
"Well I drank it, not much you could do about it now." Romeo replied.
"The party is about to start, nice to see you two finally arrive." Natsu told the two teens.
"Natsu remember, not being involved in any brawls also means that you can't try to insinuate one." Romeo told Natsu.
"I didn't even do anything." Natsu shouted.
"I know but I just wanted to remind you." Romeo replied.
Ag that moment, the doors to the guildhall opened and members of the Lamia Scale came in.
"Yo Lyon, it's good to see you." Gray said as he approached his old friend.
"It's nice to see you as well, how life been treating you?" Lyon asked.
"It's been fine, a bit hectic since Juvia moved in with me but I've been getting used to it." Gray replied.
Romeo looked around as if he were looking for someone. Suddenly, a pink haired girl wrapped her arms around Romeo's neck and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey there Ro, were you looking for me?" Chelia asked.
"Yes, I wanted to make sure you didn't catch me off guard like you usually do." Romeo replied.
"Hey can the two of you get a room?" Cana yelled.
"Cana quiet or I'll have Lucy put you back in the cage." Romeo yelled back which got him flipped off by Cana.
Chelia went over and hugged Wendy.
"Wendy it's been a while, how have you been?" Chelia asked.
"I'm doing good, it's good to see you." Wendy replied.
"So where I'd Haise, he didn't leave you alone did he?" Chelia asked.
"No he is just out on a last minute mission, he should be back soon though."Wendy answered.
The two of them got caught up in a conversation as Romeo was pulled aside by Max and Warren.
"So Romeo you never told us, how we're you lucky enough to score someone like Chelia," Max asked.
"I guess I'm just lucky." Romeo replied. "The two of you could get a girlfriend if you just stepped up your game."
"Easy for you to say." Warren scoffed. "Not all of us could get a girlfriend so easily."
"Well maybe you should just try harder than." Romeo said as the doors opened revealing both the Mermaid Heel guild and the Sabertooth guild.
"Who's ready to party!" Sting yelled as he walked into the room.
"Looks like things are about to get much louder." Romeo said as he walked over toward Chelia.
"So Chel, are you excited for Christmas?" Romeo asked.
"Yes but Christmas can wait, I just want to enjoy being with you tonight." Chelia replied.
"Aren't you two just adorable." Mira told the teens.
Blue Pegasus and and Quatro Cerberus walked into the guild and everyone started to gather around.
"Alright, let's get this party started!" Natsu shouted.
The time was now 9:17. Most of the mages were either dancing to the music or drinking. Romeo watched with Chelia on the sidelines watching all the partying happen. Just then there was a ring from Romeo's communication lacrima. Romeo checked it and then turned to Chelia.
"Hey, I'll be right back." Romeo told Chelia.
"Where are you going?" Chelia asked.
"Haise just text me and said he needed help getting something here." Romeo replied.
"All right but be careful." Chelia told Romeo.
Romeo left the guild and walked down one of the streets. He walked until he was outside of Magnolia and saw two people there. One of them had short black and white hair and the other had short brown hair. Both of them had grey jackets on.
"Yo Haise, you didn't tell me you brought a guest." Romeo said as he approached the two.
"Ya, I forgot to tell you." The black and white haired guy said. "Evan was the one who gave the request."
"Well it looks like the original group is all here. So, what can I help you with?" Romeo asked.
"Well it can wait until tomorrow or whenever but I found him." Evan told Romeo.
"Well that makes for a great Christmas present then, Thanks." Romeo thanked.
"What are you two planning." Haise asked.
"I'll tell you about it at another time but for now, aren't you making Wendy wait, the party might go on until morning but she's there waiting for you." Romeo told Haise.
"How did I end up with a girl like her?" Haise asked himself.
"I'm still wondering how Romeo ended up with Chelia, I haven't even had time to wonder about you." Evan told Haise. "Romeo tell us how did you end up with Chelia, she's what, two years older than you and she's hot, you got to tell us the secret."
"Well that's a story for another day but Haise we should get back now, it would seem weird if we were gone for too long." Romeo told Haise as they started to walk to the guild.
"Evan, tomorrow night at about 9:30 the guildhall should be empty so that's when you should go." Romeo said as they walked back to the guild.
Haise and Romeo walked back to the guild and as they reached the doors, Romeo stopped Haise from opening them.
"Dude stop for a moment." Romeo told Haise.
"What's wrong?" Haise asked.
"I told Chelia that I was helping you get something here." Romeo explained.
"Just tell her I lied. What's she going to do?" Haise replied.
"Well this is Chelia that we are talking about, for all we know she'll kick your ass." Romeo teased.
"Are you seriously saying that Chelia could kick my ass?" Haise asked.
"Well since she's gotten her magic power back, she definitely can. We both know your real magic isn't suited for combat." Romeo said.
The two of them walked into the guild to see the Trimen over by Chelia and Wendy. Haise and Romeo walked over to them. Romeo placed a hand on Hibiki's and Eve's shoulders.
"You know, just because I leave for a minute doesn't mean you can try flirting with my girlfriend." Romeo tells the two. "You should try to remind them that Ren.
"I can't control these two, you should know that." Ren responds.
"Maybe this is one of the reasons you two can't get a girlfriend." Romeo teases the two trimen.
"He's right, a real man doesn't try to flirt with someone who is in a relationship." Ichiya tells the two as he appears from out of nowhere.
"We're sorry for our disgraceful behavior." the two say in sync.
Wendy gets up and hugs Haise. "It's good to finally see you."
"Sorry, the mission took a bit longer than expected. My client was a bit difficult." Haise apologized.
"Don't worry about it. Although most everyone is either quite drink right now." Wendy revealed.
"Well at least I didn't miss the party." Haise sighs.
"Hey, at least we are all together for Christmas." Romeo tells the two.
Laxus stands up and shoots a blast of lightning getting everyone's attention.
"Attention everyone, quite down for a moment. Right now I'd like to thank everyone for coming. I'd like to make a toast right now."
Laxus holds a glass of beer up and everyone holds up whatever they are currently drinking
"May we have another peaceful year, may we raise up the next generation of mages to a safe and better world, to us."
The guild all drinks their various drinks as everyone enjoys the night.
