OKAY, just for everyone's sake, if the shipping you don't like is chosen, when I'm done writing this story/fanfic (And it's Sequel… YES THERE'S GONNA BE A SEQUEL! :D), I'm going to make a story/fanfic with alternate endings and alternate everything. ^^ I might write a third story for the future of these characters… MUAHAHAHHA

Everyone: O/O

Lucy: WHY ARE YOU SO EVIL? D: WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO Y- *Poof*

Natsu: Where'd Luce go…? o-o

Somewhere… Far, far away. :]

Happy: That's fine with me, AYE! :3

RED, THE DISCLAIMERS. CARLA, THE CLAIMERS.

Carla: Can't I do the disclaimers?

No.

Red: Disclaimers-

WAIT. IM GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. (This is what I'm gonna do for now. ^^)

1. Not gonna tell. :P (Remember, read the previous chapter to understand what the numbers mean.)

2. I'm the one who pretty much wrote/said that. If it was Happy, that'd be adorable.

3. Same as 1.

4. Yeah, I have to try get a lot more characters into the spotlight… Like Laxus and his big bear hug from Mae-Mae.

5. Well no DUH. I am the one who wrote that. XD

6. Red was secretly with me the whole time. We were playing Xbox the whole time.

7. YEAH! EXTRA SPACE!

8. Hmm… Nadia because she's nice, Cora 'cause she's a good fighter.

9. Yeah. I even chose her to be the main character! XD

10. Geez, so many of the questions are sent to you guys and not me. XD Same as 3 and 1.

NOW DO THE POOP.

Red: Disclaimers: Strawberrycheezecake does not own Fairy Tail or Hiro Mashima.

Carla: Claimers: She does own Red (^), Maemi, Ignus, Cora, Ryuu, Nadia, and whoever else she made up.

(ADDED ON INFO: Okay, so I decided that the final round of shippings will close around… Let's say July 7 - July 23. ^^ On July 24, the official, winning shipping will be announced!)

Red sat on top of Maemi's head, while the bleach blonde haired girl was talking to Miksu. In the corner of her dark green eyes, she could see Natsu and Gray beginning to bicker and fight, and Erza, who had just stopped eating her cheesecake to go stop Natsu and Gray. Red sighed, getting bored quickly. Even though the newlyweds came back from their honeymoon today, the guild still seemed still.

She heard something begin to hover near her, but Maemi didn't seem to notice. Red glanced up to see Happy, who looked like as if he was about to poke her. "You heard me, didn't you?" Happy asked her. Red nodded shortly. "You look bored."

"I am, Happy…" Red sighed.

"Come hang out with Lily, Carla, and me, Aye!" Happy cheered. Red smiled.

"Eh, okay! Maemi's busy anyways!" Red giggled and turned Aera on. Her wings came out, allowing her to now float and fly. "Lead the way, Happy!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy saluted mid air. Red laughed. The blue exceed began to fly towards the exit, Red following eagerly. He landed right outside of the exit, where the two other exceeds were.

"Hi Pantherlily, Carla!" Red greeted them as she landed in front of Happy. Carla just waved.

"Happy, that took you a bit to find Red…" Pantherlily commented, crossing his small exceed arms.

"It wasn't hard to find Red, it was just hard to find Maemi!" Happy whined. Red sat down next to Carla, while Happy filled the small circle up by sitting next to Red.

"So, what do you guys want to talk about again?" Red asked, looking curiously at the three other exceeds. They all looked at each other quietly for a moment, then their attention went back to Red. "Hm?"

"Why are you just called Red?" Carla asked her. "Red sounds like a nickname…"

"A lot of people say that, I guess…" Red sighed.

"A lot of people don't say that in the guild," Happy pointed out.

"When Maemi and I were traveling, that was a frequent question," Red explained shortly. "But Red's my name!"

"It still sounds like a nickname…" Pantherlily sighed.

"Well, uh, why are you named Pantherlily then? Pantherlilies are orange and black, you're just black!" Red squeaked out.

"It's the name my parents gave me."

"Well, mine is the name Maemi gave me!" Red huffed.

"Has she even talked to you about why you were named Red?" Carla questioned.

"'Cause I'm Red!"

"And I'm Happy!" Happy cheered. The red and blue exceed began to crack up. Carla looked at them sternly, and Pantherlily bonked Happy on the head. "Ow… That hurt, Lily…"

"Can you please just answer…? You can trust all of us…" Red sighed in defeat, knowing she could trust Carla, who had just said that, and the other two.

"Fine… my original name is Rediamond… it's red and diamond combined. Maemi named me that because I was as rare as a diamond in her eyes, and she treasured me. She only called me that for about a week after we met, then I became Red. I honestly prefer Red, though… My real name is a pain to say," Red looked down at the ground, tearing some grass up. The three other exceeds remained quiet for a moment.

"Rediamond… A pretty clever name if I do say so myself…" Pantherlily muttered. Red looked at him curiously.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Red complained.

"Have you seen the back of your left ear?" Carla asked her, getting up. Red shook her head, and flinched when the exceed touched her left ear. "It has a red diamond on it." Happy and Lily got up to see.

"Wow! You really do have a red diamond on you!" Happy gasped.

"Still a clever name…" Pantherlily sighed.

"Plus, your name has a good tone to it. Rediamond, Rediamond, Rediamond. Sounds French for something," Carla shrugged.

"New topic please?" Red frowned, trying to cover her left ear. The three went back to their spots.

"Oh, I have one!" Happy perked up. "What was the most sudden or awkward time when Maemi, Gajeel, Wendy, or Natsu had to use us to fly outta somewhere?! Carla, you can go first…"

"Fine…" Carla sighed. "It was sudden, and it was when we were both calm, and then all of a sudden, Wendy had to go somewhere with only moment's notice."

"Wow… Pantherlily!"

"Must I do this?" He asked nodded.

"Aye, sir!"

"Fine, it was sudden. Gajeel and I were training near a cliff, and he nearly fell off, end of story."

"That was too blunt Lily…" Happy whimpered.

"That's all that happened…"

"Oh… RED'S TURN!"

"Maemi uses me when the time is right, or when she forget how to use her own wings," Red giggled.

"…I guess I have the only embarrassing one…" Happy sighed. Red, Carla, and Pantherlily leaned in a bit, telling him to tell them. "Natsu was taking a shower in the wild, and we were attacked all of a sudden, so I had to fly him out of there," Happy explained, his face reddening up. There was a pause of silence, and then Red and Happy burst out laughing, Lily chuckled, and Carla giggled. They continued for about another 5 minutes.

They all looked up at the sky in sync, seeing it grew darker. "Is it already night-time?" Carla asked, as if talking to herself. A lightning bolt colored green hit inside of the guild, screams firing off. The exceeds quickly panicked and rushed inside when the lightning was gone. No one was inside. "Wendy?" Carla called out, fretted.

"Maemi? Maemi? Mae-Mae?!" Red called out, stepping inside of the unharmed guild.

"NATSU?" Happy screamed out.

"Gajeel…?" Pantherlily glanced around the guild. A squeaky voice came into their response.

"Down here!" The exceeds looked down, seeing a majority of the guild below them. A tiny Natsu turned to Maemi.

"Red calls you Mae-Mae?" Natsu looked like he was about to start laughing. Maemi then bonked his head.

"No!" She squeaked out in her small, squeaky voice. Everyone's voice was pitched up higher.

"LAXUS! HE CONTROLS LIGHTNING, HE MUST'VE DONE THIS!" Natsu suddenly faced the small Laxus, pointing at him.

"Geez, it's not nice to point at people, Natsu…" Laxus sighed.

"This is SO not MAN!" Elfman yelled out.

"Everyone, calm down. This might actually be good. Now, off to the archive to see if there's a book about this!" The Master turned around and started walking down the now long pathway to the archives.

"Are you kidding me?"

"We'll never get there?"

"I don't want to be stuck like this!" The four exceeds looked at each other. They all nodded.

"Hey everyone!" Carla called out to get the small humans' attention. They all turned towards them.

"Who wants an Exceed ride…?" Pantherlily asked them. Everyone looked at each other for only a brief moment. Their Dragon Slayers began running to their exceeds, and climbing up onto their correct exceed's head. Maemi was on Red's head, Natsu on Happy's, Wendy on Carla's, and Gajeel on Pantherlily's. The rest of the guild began to climb up on the exceed they wanted. Ignus and Nadia clearly went onto Red. When the Master got onto Red's head next to Maemi, he sat down.

Maemi looked like she was about to protest, but the Master held his hand up to silence her. "TO THE ARCHIVES, O GREAT EXCEEDS!" Master Makarov screamed out. The guild began to laugh uncontrollably. "WE MUST LEARN HOW TO TURN BACK!

o3o Special is done. XD So yeah… They won't be stuck like that forever, so do not fret. I'm sorry if this seems a bit short, but yeah… IT JUST IS. Since this is a special, there aren't any questions. Sorry… ^^; I'll let you guys know if it's a special or not, alright? ^.^

By the way, the next episode I'm gonna watch of Fairy Tail is gonna be Episode 55. I've gotten pretty far. ^^

R&R
