Oh wow! 13 reviews! Thanks for your support, everyone! I'm sorry I didn't update sooner, but I started school again and it's like "homework homework homework". But I finally have a free weekend, so I am writing this chapter for all of you! Here we go! *flourish*
Loud, dramatic music filled the room as the auction faded from view, taking the music box, with its soft melody of "Masquerade" with it. The chandelier light up, and with a violent flourish of the orchestra, began rising swiftly towards roof…
I'M ONLY JOKING!
But if anyone can tell me what that is from, I'll name a character from the various guilds after them! Mostly because I need ideas for characters… hehe… (You guys can request a name or I can take it from your account name, whichever) And I'll give you a hint: it's a musical!
"Natsu!" a loud, angry voice yelled from the second floor of the Fairy Tail guild. "If you aren't up here by yesterday…" Erza trailed off, leaving the rest to his imagination.
"Aye!" he yelled, appearing in front of her suddenly, panting heavily and quaking in fear.
"Honestly, Flame Brain, calm down. It's not like whatever she does to you could be worse than what Lucy did to you when you-" Gray began with a smirk.
"Hey!" Natsu interjected, but Gray just continued as though he had never been interrupted.
"-dyed her hair the same sissy pink colour as yours." He finishes, a full blown grin on his face as he reminisced in good old memories.
"Ah, yes. I myself, was afraid for a moment of the wrath of our dear Lucy, but alas, 'twas not me her fierce rage was aimed at. I suppose… it was not to be…" Lisanna cried dramatically, pretending to swoon into the arms of her girlfriend, Erza.
"Aw, shut up Ice Princess!" Natsu yelled angrily, breathing fire, metaphorically, for once, waving his fist in Gray's face.
"Anyone here notice he doesn't call me Snowflake anymore?" Gray shouted to the guild, raising his arms dramatically.
"Aye! That's because Lucy said it was her name for you and that if Natsu called you that she would turn his insides into outsides!" Happy chimed up.
"It was horrifying…" Natsu fell back into the chair he had recently vacated, pale and breaking out into a cold sweat.
"What's wrong now, Natsu?" Gajeel turned the chair next to his fellow dragon slayer around and straddled it, crossing his arms over the back and resting his chin on them.
"Natsu's stuck in a flashback of the last time he tried to call me 'Snowflake'." Gray smirked.
"Oh, yeah. Jesus, even I was scared of her then." Gajeel, one of the most widely feared dragon slayers in Fiore, shivered in remembrance.
"Yeah. I hate that name." Gray said, glaring at Natsu darkly.
"So why do you let Bunny Girl –oh, crap, don't tell her I called her that- call you Snowflake?" Gajeel asked, internally thanking whatever omniscient being was up there that Lucy hadn't heard him.
"Why don't you want her to know you called her 'Bunny Girl'?" Gray replied.
"So, what was it you wanted, Master?" Gajeel shouted, quickly trying to change the subject.
"Well, as you know, Fairy Tail has been invited to the Grand Magic Games!" the short, elderly man announced. Laxus, who had been reaccepted into the guild, sat next to his grandfather, grinning with excitement.
The rowdiest guild in all of Fiore took that as their cue to cheer loudly.
"Now, we are allowed to take twelve mages with us to represent Fairy Tail." Makarov said, and the entire guild held their breath. "Those mages will be; Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Erza, Laxus, Lisanna, Mirajane, Wendy, Cana, Gildarts, Levy and our newly rediscovered Loki!" he yelled happily, and the guild cheered.
Lisanna threw herself into Erza's arms, shrieking in excitement and Gildarts happily embraced his daughter. Levy hugged Gajeel, who simply grabbed her when she started to pull away and deposited her, blushing, into his lap. Natsu and Gray simply grinned at each other, and Laxus spun Mira in a circle, before remembering himself and practically teleporting to the other side of the guild, leaving her to blush and giggle. Loki just smiled to himself.
Lucy had let all her keys have the freedom to do whatever they wanted, with a promise to only summon them when it was absolutely necessary. Most had left and joined Fairy Tail, because they wanted to stay as close to their Master as possible, but also wanted to have as good a life as possible. They now made up Fairy Tail's largest team, called Team Lucky in honour of Lucy, the strongest Celestial Mage in the world.
A few, however, had chosen to stay with her. Plue, for one, but that was expected, the dog spirit adored her. What was really surprising was Aquarius. Even when her beloved boyfriend joined Fairy Tail, she had adamantly refused, continuously, to leave Lucy, though she refused to reveal why. But it wasn't hard to guess that big bad Aquarius had a soft spot for her master. She was, after all, fiercely protective of the girl.
"Now!" Master's voice interrupted the celebration, and they all stopped and looked at him. "I say we take this news with true Fairy Tail spirit!" he paused for effect. "And party!"
And all throughout town, mutters of 'bloody pixies' were heard…
I just want to say I'm sorry if Lisanna/Erza offends you, but personally I can't see anyone as, well, for lack of a better word, 'masculine' as Erza being with a guy, and I wanted Lisanna to be happy to.
Just an advance warning. There WILL be homosexual pairings in this fanfic, but only about three in total, so don't freak out too much on me, alright? Again, sorry if this offends you.
