Ch. 12 — Old Bachelor
Day: 12
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Genre: Humor, Family
Summary: It's game night at the Fairy Tail! And, as required by tradition, the entire guild has to play a game of 'Old Bachelor.'
"Old...bachelor?" Lucy asked hesitantly. The rest of the guild nodded furiously.
"Old Bachelor is MAN!" Elfman roared.
The blonde sweat-dropped. It was game night in Fairy Tail. Apparently one of the traditions was a mandatory game of 'Old Bachelor' - the guild's version of Old Maid.
Erza nodded. "We decided that the original was sexist."
"But-" Lucy began to protest, but was cut off when Mirajane began to deal the cards (of which there was many more than in a regular deck) to the mages sitting in the hall. The celestial wizard sighed. They just switched the roles around - the card game was still sexist, just not towards the ladies!
Still, she accepted her cards from a smiling Mira and flipped through them. They were labeled on the bottom with things like 'Josephine Judge,' and 'Phyllis Physicist.' The rest of the space was filled with an illustration of a woman doing the job that her surname indicated.
A few minutes later, Lucy had discovered that Natsu did not even know what a poker face was. He cursed, frequently lit his cards on fire, and it was blatantly obvious that he had the Old Bachelor card in his hand. He held it above the rest, as if coaxing the person next to him (Gray) to choose it.
But the ice mage wasn't stupid. So he didn't.
And then, of course, a brawl erupted and the guild fell into utter chaos. Just another normal day at Fairy Tail!
I am a failure. At life.
I'm sorry but something very important came up so I had to write this on my phone, and since I have other obligations on Monday and Tuesdays, the Gruvia fic will not be up until Wednsday. Gomenasai!
Gray: Mmmph. *is still tied up*
Lyon: Juvia, my love, I have found you!
Juvia: *is hiding behind Gray*
Now for review responses!
Rebecca Frost: Oh. My. Mavis. Did I see this right? Did you really post a comment on almost every single chapter? Thank you so much, it means the world to me!
RosesAndRavens: I understand where you are coming from, but I like to have some plots that I can cling to if I'm not feeling particularly inspired. Thank you for your constructive criticism!
Please review! See y'all tommarow!
