Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, Star Wars or Rave
November
A quiet, wet-sounding smacking noise was heard in the corner where Erza and Lucy were sitting.
"And so I—"
Smack, smack, smack.
Lucy frowned and tried to continue. "As I was saying, I—"
Smack! Smack!
Lucy stood up abruptly, knocking over her stool in the process. "Alright, who over gave Plue peanut butter?" Levi, who was sitting two tables away, scratched the back of her head sheepishly.
"It's peanut butter lover's month. What did you expect me to do?"
Look for Circles Day: November 2
Any ignoramus in Magnolia would claim to see a golden halo floating above Fairy Tail's bartender. Any mage in said guild would claim that the circle was crooked.
Deviled Eggs Day: November 2
Ironically enough, Mirajane made the best deviled eggs.
Housewife's Day: November 3
Two things Gray learned this day: the guild needs more bacon and that Erza does not like to be asked why she wasn't in the kitchen.
Sandwich Day: November 3
Scratch that—three things. Don't tell Erza to go make you a sandwich.
Marooned without a Compass Day: November 6
The only thing worse than being lost in the middle of the ocean on a boat running low on supplies is being a dragon slayer on a boat, lost at sea and running low on supplies.
Saxophone Day: November 6
"What…the…hell?" Confused expressions watched Fairy Tail's new jazz band perform on stage. The band consisted of Levi on bass, Pantherlily on bongos and Gajeel on saxophone. While the music was good, nobody could get over the absurdity of the whole thing.
Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day: November 7
On which Gray was operantly conditioned to stop stripping. Unfortunately, the mages ran out of chocolate and his stripping prevailed. The other mages gave up.
Cook Something Bold Day: November 8
Juvia had baked a cake for her beloved "Gray-sama" with an icing confession written on it in looped scripture. Her plan was quickly ruined when she left the cake on a table to go talk to Mira and it was gobbled up by Natsu.
Dunce Day: November 8
Natsu's idiocy caused Juvia to nearly drown him for his actions. Luckily, he was saved from a watery grave when Mira distracted Juvia with old pictures of Gray as a child.
Chaos Never Dies Day: November 9
Not only was the guild half singed/soaked from Natsu and Juvia's spat the day before, but Erza and Gray were having a fight that also caused quite a bit of damage to the guild. Makarov watched as their dispute acted as a catalyst for all of the other fights that popped up. Within minutes, the entire guild was causing collateral damage and Makarov was left sitting on a stool pondering how this crazy guild of his came to be. His thoughts were interrupted when a large projectile (presumably a table) knocked Makarov off of his stool. Enraged from being interrupted, the guild master began to intervene.
"Hey!" Makarov screamed at the top of his lungs, "knock it off!" The whole guild froze in their positions, too alarmed to move. "Thank you." Natsu, whose precarious position involved widespread arms and one leg in the air, wobbled violently and crashed into Erza. The ex-quip mage responded by attacking the dragon slayer in cold blood. Makarov groaned as the fight resumed. While he knew that Mavis's guild was nowhere near as rowdy, Makarov couldn't help but think he wouldn't change a thing.
Forget-me-not Day: November 10
Because, as Lucy learned from being invisible for a day, nothing is worse than watching your friends forget about you. Well…that and walking around Magnolia naked.
Chicken Soup for the Soul Day: November 12
Gray opened the bag that he found left on his doorstep. Earlier, a knock had sounded and the miserably ill ice mage had answered the door only to find no one there. All he found was a plastic bag with his name written on it. When he opened the bag, a container of still-warm chicken soup greeted him. Gray was so intoxicated from cold medicine that he didn't even bother to consider if the soup was a trap of some sort (nor did he give a second thought to the heart shaped chicken pieces). He ate the whole thing in minutes and wrote a thank-you note and posted it on his door.
National World Kindness Day: November 13
When Erza treated Natsu and Gray to an expensive dinner, the only thought running through the males' heads was, "It's a trap!"
Young Readers Day: Second Tuesday
"I can't believe you got us banned! What the hell is your problem?" Levi scolded her guild mate with a rarely surfaced anger in her voice.
"I don't see why it matters. Reading to kids is boring," Natsu responded, indifferently. Getting banned from the library wasn't that big of a deal.
"No, it's not! And now we can't ever do it again! What made you think that it was a good idea to read them a sex book?"
"That was a sex book?"
Operating Room Nurse's Day: November 14
Erza held out her hand.
"Scalpel."
"Scalpel," Wendy affirmed, handing the older mage the tool.
"Needle."
"Needle."
"Thread."
"Thread."
"Cake."
"Cake." Wendy took a spoonful of Erza's cake and held it out for the Titania to bite. Erza swallowed the piece and went back to her surgery. "Doctor Scarlet? Is the patient going to be alright?" Erza gave the air dragon slayer a small smile.
"Of course," Erza made a final stitch and sighed in relief, "see?" Erza handed the patient—Wendy's "possessed" teddy bear—to the girl. Wendy hugged it and thanked the ex-quip mage. Charle shivered as the bear gave the cat a look filled with evil triumph.
Shit…
Clean Your Refrigerator Day: November 15
Lucy looked inside her empty refrigerator.
"Where's all of my food?"
"We cleaned out your refrigerator for you!" Natsu replied.
"Aye!" Happy patted his rounded belly for emphasis.
National Philanthropy Day: November 15
If they built a few more orphanages and destroyed a few less harbors, maybe the mages of Fairy Tail could be philanthropists.
Button Day: November 16
"Stop fighting!" Erza yelled at the two violent dragon slayers. Natsu and Gajeel instantly stopped their fight. "Thank you," Erza sighed. Three minutes later, the fight was back in full swing and Erza was forced to take drastic measures. "That's it!" She grabbed the two dragon slayers by the ear and dragged them away from the guild and to the nearest skyscraper. She shoved them onto the elevator and pushed every button from the basement to floor 93 and hopped through the doors before the movement started. She felt slightly bad for the person who had to clean up after the mages but they needed to be taught a lesson.
Have a Party with Your Bear Day: November 16
Wendy couldn't figure out why nobody wanted to have a tea party with her and her (possessed) teddy bear.
Homemade Bread Day: November 17
The day Elfman learned the meaning of the phrase "too much yeast."
National Adoption Day: November 17
"What the fu—"
"What is this?" Happy shrieked in outrage. Apparently, someone had put in an ad in the local paper saying that Natsu needed a new feline best friend. Various strays and abandoned cats were roaming the land on which Natsu's house sat. Happy turned to Natsu with tear-filled eyes. "Y-you want a new best friend?" Natsu vehemently denied the notion but Happy wasn't hearing it. He flew off, undoubtedly to whine to the blonde celestial spirit mage. When he arrived at the apartment, Happy then proceeded to high-five the inhabitant with a grin. "This was a great idea, Lucy! Now he'll never forget to take me fishing ever again!"
Take a Hike Day: November 17
"Just admit it Gajeel! We're lost!"
"We are not lost! I know exactly where I'm going. See that tree over there? I marked it." Levi sighed.
"We're in a forest Gajeel. There are tons of trees that look exactly the same." Regardless of her objection, Levi approached the tree and began to inspect it for Gajeel's mark. "I don't see any carving…"
"Well, yeah, I didn't carve a marker. Do you want the enemy to know where we are?"
"Then how did you—?" Levi sniffed the tree and gagged.
World Peace Day: November 17
The group consensus was that nothing says peace like a good ol' punch in the face.
Occult Day: November 18
Laxus was about to punch the dark mage he was sent to get rid of but ended up being roundhouse kicked by one of the mage's team mates. The lightning mage was barely able to coat himself in a protective layer of lightning before he was sent flying through the window of a nearby home with a bright flash. Shaking broken glass from his clothes, Laxus detached himself from the plush carpeting and regained his footing. The lightning mage put up his fists and spaced his legs in a fighting stance. His stance broke, however, once he realized that the dark mages had disappeared and all traces of their magic were gone.
"Shit," Laxus sighed, relaxing marginally.
"I can't believe it worked!"
"The book was right!"
"Welcome, Sir Demon!" Laxus snapped his head away from the shattered window and looked at the young boys standing around him whom he hadn't noticed prior. There were five of them and all were wearing the same blood red cloaks with the hoods pulled over their heads, shrouding their faces and crucifixes fastened around their necks.
"Who the hell are you?" Laxus directed the question at the one who trembled the least (since all of them were shaking violently like small dogs).
"We are the ones who summoned you, Demon," Laxus looked around where he stood in the room he had been kicked into and found himself standing in the middle of a pentagram. From the color of the shape and smell of the room, Laxus could only assume the pentagram to be drawn from animal blood. Laxus looked back at the awkward adolescents whom had pulled their hoods down to reveal their blotchy, pimpled faces with large, horn-rimmed eyeglasses resting on their noses. Some had bad teeth and cracking voices announcing the arrival of puberty.
"I'm not a demon," Laxus said with an eye roll, "I'm a mage."
"The book did say the demon might experience some memory loss," said Social Reject #1.
"Memory loss? I'm not a demon, you dumbass! And you shouldn't mess with that kind of magic, it's dangerous!" Apparently, Laxus's angry expression was frightening enough to have the boys groveling on their knees.
"We're sorry!"
"We won't do it again, we promise!"
"We just really need your help, Demon!"
"I'm not a—oh, forget it…"Laxus sighed, "what do you need?" The awkward tens gazed up at Laxus with hope in their teary eyes. Laxus groaned inwardly.
"We need you to get rid of someone for us," Social Reject #2 said.
"She is truly fearsome!" Social Reject #3 added. "Every day she steals our lunch money and pushes us around! We can't take it anymore!" Laxus sighed.
A school bully? That's lame! Laxus looked at the frail, weak pre-teens who went through so much trouble to get a demon to help them. And Laxus capitulated all the while thinking that being the good guy sucks ass! Hopefully, this bully will be strong and he can release some of his pent up aggression he had accumulated from letting the dark mages escape.
Later
Laxus was crouched behind a bush with Social Rejects 1, 4, and 5. They were staking out the area that the adolescents had their money stolen from on a day-to-day basis. Social Reject #2 and #3 were out in the open by an ice cream stand. Said rejects were acting as bait for the bully since they had drawn the short straws. The air around Laxus cracked and fizzed as the mage's patience slowly drained away.
"Where the hell is this person?" Laxus hissed. "I've got things to do!"
"There she is!" Social Reject #4 pointed to their tormentor. Laxus followed his finger to see…
"Wendy?" Sweet, innocent little Wendy was in the square near the ice cream stand and she eyed the cart with lust. "That's your bully?" Laxus didn't bother with whispering anymore.
"Isn't she scary?" Social Reject #5 squeaked and trembled as Wendy approached his friends.
"Excuse me," ever-polite Wendy smiled at Social Rejects 2 and 3. "I'd really like some ice cream but I don't have any money. May I borrow a few…a feh—" Wendy sneezed and released an enormous gust of wind that had Laxus's clients cowering in fear. "Excuse me! May I borrow two hundred jewel? I promise to pay you back the next time I go on a mission!" Wendy smiled kindly.
"You've gotta' be kidding me…." Laxus left his hiding place (ignoring the protests of the social rejects) and approached Wendy. She heard him advance and offered her fellow guild mate a smile.
"Hi, Laxus! May I borrow some money for ice cream?" Mechanically, Laxus fished for the amount in his pockets for the correct amount and offered it to the air dragon slayer.
"Here, take it. Also, don't ask these losers," Laxus gestured to the Social Rejects, "for money again." Laxus stooped toward her and whispered in her ear, "They think you're harassing them." Wendy's eyes widened and she apologized profusely to the pre-teens. She had no idea that she was bullying them and wouldn't do it again, she promised. While Wendy apologized, Laxus went home to sleep under a rock. In the end, he accomplished absolutely nothing.
Have a Bad Day Day: November 19
Laxus may have had a bad day yesterday but Cana's present was worse. She woke up in the gutter with a massive hangover and a suspicious substance that smelled like vomit coating her shoes. On top of that, she was in a town she didn't recognize with a heart tattoo on her arm inscribed with an unrecognizable man's name inside of it. In her pocket she found a wedding photo between her and a stranger with the words "Together Forever" printed on the bottom. She also found a train ticket to some foreign land (Symphonia? Where the hell is that?) and a receipt stating that she had traded two chickens for a pack of gum. Cana spared a moment to be pissed off at the fact that she had been ripped off (she ignored the question of how she acquired two chickens) and searched her person for the pack of gum. Upon finding nothing of the sort in her pockets or anywhere else, she assumed that it had been stolen by her new husband. Cana decided that it would be a good idea to find some booze and get drunk enough to mysteriously wake up at home.
Absurdity Day: November 20
Let's be honest; every day is Absurdity Day in Fairy Tail.
Beautiful Day: November 20
On which the sun was shining, birds were singing, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The grass was crisp and green and the leaves were changing to varying hues of oranges and reds that made the trees look like sunsets. A gentle breeze would tousle the hair of laughing children and would fill the area with clean, autumn air. This beautiful, picturesque landscape was converted into a hellish wasteland by the time the Fairy Tail mages had finished their mission.
Children's Day: November 20 (1)
"What book is that, Levi?" Levi looked up from the picture book she had yet to open and smiled at Lucy.
"It's a new picture book I bought. It received a ton of good reviews," Levi smiled as she recalled some of the book's praise. "One critic even went so far as to say that it made him feel like a kid again." Lucy looked at the children's book eagerly.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and read it!"
"I will, I will!" Levi giggled as she began to open the book with an excited Lucy looking over her shoulder. There was a bright flash of light and Levi gasped.
Later
Wendy quickly made her way toward the guild. She was running later than usual due to some breakfast mishap—Charle was pinned to the wall with various steak knives embedded around her and Wendy's favorite teddy bear was on the table looking a bit disappointed that the cat was unscathed—and she had promised to arrive earlier to set off on a mission with the others.
"I hope they didn't leave yet," Wendy mumbled to herself, "I really could use the money." Charle (who was still somewhat shaken up from her hellish morning) nodded her agreement.
"Hi Wendy!" Wendy turned to see Bisca and Alzack's daughter, Asuka, and Romeo walking towards her and Charle. Wendy paused to wait for the two of them and offered a smile in greeting.
"Hello," Wendy said as friendly as ever despite her urgency, "what were you two up to this morning?"
"Bisca asked me to take Asuka to the park," Romeo answered and Asuka grinned and nodded vigorously in affirmation. They continued to walk to the guild at a slower pace in order for Asuka to keep up.
"Did you have fun at the park?"
"Yes!"
"Of course she did. Kids are so easy to please." Wendy nodded in agreement. Children were very easy to take care of. It was as Wendy was thinking this that the small group entered the guild and was met with the familiar faces of the Fairy Tail mages…as children.
The pre-teenage mages felt their jaws drop open as did Charle. Asuka didn't waste any time and approached the younger forms of her parents.
"Mama! Papa!" Little Bisca and Alzack looked to their daughter in child-like confusion.
"I didn't know we were playing house," the younger Bisca replied "but I don't mind playing." Little Alzack looked disgusted at the notion.
"Ew! I'm not playing! Girls have cooties!"
Finally, sense washed over Wendy and Romeo.
"Th-they all turned into little kids!"
"How did this happen?"
"Look! Look!" Asuka had detached herself from her parents and had a small picture book in her hands. She gave it to Romeo for inspection. Recognition flashed in Romeo's eyes.
"Dad was talking about this book. He said that it was turning people into kids when they tried to read it," Romeo shook his head. "This could be a problem." Wendy looked around. Many of her friends were crying and voicing their needs in whiney tones. Wendy felt a tug on the bottom of her dress. She looked down to see a younger Gray who was just as naked as usual.
"Hungry!" Little Gray whined. It then occurred to Wendy that, with all the Fairy Tail mages being the same age as Asuka, she and Romeo were now the oldest. And, to children, the oldest was always in charge.
"I'm hungry too!" Little Natsu sniveled as he approached Wendy and Little Gray.
"I was hungry first!"
"Well, I'm hungrier!"
"So? You're always hungry!"
"Exactly! I'm the hungriest!"
"I'm more hungrier than the hungriest!" Little Gajeel interjected.
"That doesn't make any sense!" As the three continued to bicker, Wendy casually slipped away from them.
"What are we going to do?" Wendy asked Romeo.
"Isn't it obvious? We take care of them." Romeo began walking towards the bar that Little Mira was sitting on. "The spell only lasts until midnight; after that, they'll all return to normal. We just need to take care of them until then." Romeo began to rummage around the bar and collect supplies for sandwiches. Wendy went to help him while Asuka and Charle went to keep the children busy. Little Lisanna, Juvia, Laki and Cana immediately grabbed the feline and began to pull and pick at the poor exceed. Charle's yowls of pain went unnoticed by the two older mages as they continued to make sandwiches for their friends. They had to maneuver around Little Mira who was sitting on the counter, glaring daggers at Little Erza (who was mesmerized by Asuka's magical ability to steal and replace noses). Wendy and Romeo finally finished making sandwiches and called their friends over for lunch.
"Get in line!" Romeo called and the little children did so. The older mages passed out the food while Little Gray and Little Natsu resumed their bickering claiming the other had skipped. Little Laxus was behind them, looking exhausted, and his look-a-like—Little Makarov—stood behind him looking like he wanted to kill the fire and ice mage. Finally, the line had ended and all the mages were happily eating their lunches. Charle and Asuka approached the two mages.
"Now what?" Charle inquired, hoping that she wouldn't have to endure the torture from earlier. Romeo shrugged.
"Hey! You can't eat my sandwich!" Gray hollered at a thieving Natsu.
"But I'm still hungry!"
"Give it back, Stupid-head!"
"You're the Stupid-head, Stupid-head!"
Romeo sighed. "How about nap time?" Asuka made a face as Charle and Wendy nodded their agreement.
"Nap time, everyone!" Wendy yelled. There were unanimous groans and protests.
"Don't you have any dragon slayer magic that can make them sleep?" Wendy shook her head "no."
"What should we do, now?"
"If you don't take a nap, you don't get a cookie," Asuka threatened. The guild members simultaneously scrambled to find blankets and pillows as well as secure "prime nap time spots."
"Good job, Asuka," Romeo said "I'm impressed." Asuka grinned. Wendy and Romeo searched through drawers and cabinets for cookies while the children slept. Somehow, they scrounged up enough up enough teats for the children and passed them out as they roused an hour later. It was after the Fairy Tail mages ate their cookies that Romeo and Wendy realized that giving them sugar may not have been the best idea.
"Crap…" Romeo sighed as Charle was kidnapped and tortured by the younger mages. For the next seven hours, Wendy and Romeo were forced to run around and break up fights, rescue cats, salvage furniture (Gajeel didn't seem to understand that eating the metal supports on stools and tables was a no-no) and mediate verbal disputes. When they finally deemed it to be bed time, Wendy and Romeo were exhausted.
"Time for bed!" Wendy announced, wanting to sleep herself.
"What about a story?" Little Lucy asked with pleading eyes. The other mages voiced their agreement. Romeo sighed in resignation.
"Fine, but you have to promise that you'll go to sleep after it's over." The Fairy Tail mages grinned and nodded. Romeo turned to Wendy and Charle. "Do either of you know a good story?" They shook their heads and Romeo sighed. "Uh…"
"Once upon a time," Asuka began, decided to make up her own story, "there was a little boy who lived in a cabin in the woods. His name was…uh…" she looked around for inspiration. "Happy! His name was Happy and Happy was a big idiot!" Little Gray raised his hand and Asuka looked at him expectantly.
"Did Happy the Idiot have pink hair?" Little Natsu growled from his spot next to the ice mage.
"Yes, he did!"
"Was he an ice mage?" Little Natsu asked to which Asuka replied in the affirmative.
"One day, Happy the Idiot decided to…read a book."
"That's boring!" Little Gajeel groaned and Little Levi and Lucy shot him dark looks. Gajeel shut his mouth.
"But it wasn't a normal book; it was a magic book and when Happy opened it, he cast a spell on himself and turned into a…um…"
"A cat!"
"A duck!"
"A wombat!" Everyone turned to look at Little Erza.
"What's a 'wom-bat'?"
Little Erza blushed and shrugged her shoulders. "I-I don't know."
"Yes," Asuka continued, "he turned into a wombat and Happy the Idiot couldn't use his ice magic anymore because he was a wombat. Wombats can't use ice magic. But, Happy did gain a new magic ability!" The children leaned forward in anticipation, totally engrossed in Asuka's weird story. "Happy the Idiot was able to…shoot lightning out of his eyes and had teeth that could chew through iron!" Wendy, Romeo and Charle sighed in exasperation. If a wombat couldn't use ice magic, how the hell was it able to shoot lightning from its eyes? "Happy the Idiot was eating iron from a large pole as he was flying in the air (Since when could he fly? Wendy thought) when he heard a scream. Happy the Idiot Wombat flew toward where he heard it and found a gi-normous robot trying to kill Princess…" Asuka looked around "Gajeel."
Little Gajeel growled. "I am not a dumb girl!"
Asuka ignored the iron dragon slayer's interruption and continued.
"Happy the Idiot Wombat shot his eye lightning and stopped the giant robot. Then he chewed it up and threw the parts into the ocean for the mutant robot sharks to eat (Where did the sharks come from? Romeo wondered). Princess Gajeel was so grateful that she made Happy the Idiot Wombat king of the Echidna Kingdom. The end!" Asuka concluded. Romeo and Wendy gaped at the young storyteller.
That's it? Romeo thought looking at Wendy in confusion. She shrugged, equally befuddled. Both had more questions than answers at the end of it all but the Fairy Tail members seemed to be satisfied and cuddled into their blankets. After the last of the mages fell asleep, Wendy, Romeo, Charle and Asuka collapsed in a heap in utter exhaustion.
The Next Day
The Fairy Tail mages all woke up extremely confused as to why they were asleep on the guild's floor and unable to remember the events of the previous day. Wendy, Romeo, Charle and Asuka had given all of them relieved hugs. Strangely enough, Levi couldn't find her new picture book.
False Confession Day: November 21
"Juvia is going to confess to Gray-sama today!" Juvia exclaimed to her girl friends. Ignoring the fact that Gray already knew about the water mage's feelings, Lisanna voiced her disagreement.
"I don't think that that's a good idea, Juvia. Today is False Confession Day," Lisanna said and explained further when she saw Juvia's confused expression. "If you tell Gray today, he'll think you're joking. You have to confess the opposite." Juvia nodded in understanding. She looked around for the ice mage and when her eyes met his shirtless form she strolled over for her false confession.
"Gray-sama?" Juvia said to his back in order to get his attention. When he turned to face her, Juvia socked him in the face.
"Ow! What the hell?" Gray clutched his possibly broken nose and tried to keep from bleeding on himself. "What was that for?"
"Juvia hates Gray-sama more than anything! When Juvia sees Gray-sama's face, she cannot help but want to punch it." Natsu, who was eavesdropping, could only nod in agreement. He knew the feeling well. "Juvia wants to never see Gray-sama again and for him to wallow in misery for the rest of his life. Juvia hopes that Gray-sama's life is filled with pain and suffering," she kicked him in the shin for emphasis, "and all his friends leave him. Juvia wants no part in his life. Juvia hates Gray-sama so much she would rather die than be saved by him." Juvia gave Gray one final smack on the head before walking away, satisfied with her false confession. Gray looked at her back in confusion.
"What the hell was that?" Natsu, who was trying hard not to laugh—and utterly failing—shrugged.
"PMS?"
World Hello Day: November 21
"Wake up, Gajeel! The world says hello!"
"Yeah, well, tell it to shut the hell up. It's too damn early."
Go for a Ride Day: November 22
Needless to say, Gajeel and Natsu hated this day.
Eat a Cranberry Day: November 23
"Elfman…what are you doing?" Lisanna asked her brother who was watering a small mound in the garden.
"I'm growing a cranberry plant." Lisanna looked at the mound (disregarding the fact that cranberries grow in swamps) and back at Elfman.
"Why?"
"It's Eat a Cranberry Day and we don't have any."
"Yes we do. They're in the kitchen."
"I didn't see any." It was then that Lisanna saw the box of crayons and she smacked her forehead with her open palm.
"Cranberry, Elfman. Not crayon-berry!"
National Cashew Day: November 23
"There's not really anything funny about cashews."
"What are you talking about? Cashews are so nutty!"
"That was lame, Natsu."
You're Welcome Day: Fourth Friday (2)
"Gee, Natsu, thanks so much for burning up my coffee table. No really, well done."
"You're welcome, Lucy!"
"That was sarcasm, you idiot!"
Black Friday: Fourth Friday (2)
On which Gray decided that he needed new pants and went to the store only to find a line of people camping outside of it. Some even had weapons with them. Gray looked down at his boxers and decided that he could wait until tomorrow.
Buy Nothing Day: Fourth Friday (2)
A holiday whose origins stem from situations similar to Gray's experience of going to a store on Black Friday and then deciding that you don't need the item that badly.
National Parfait Day: November 25
"What's that?"
"It's a parfait. Do you want some?"
"What's in it?"
"Yogurt, strawberries—"
"Gimme!"
Shopping Reminder Day: November 26
"Are those new pants, Gray?" Mira asked the ice mage. Gray nodded and showed them off. "Any particular reason that you're 'sagging' your pants?"
"It makes me look cool!"
"It makes you look like an idiot. C'mon, let's go buy you new ones."
Pins and Needles Day: November 27
"Just tell us already!"
"The suspense is killing us!" Levi and Gajeel looked at each other and back at their anxious friends.
"Alright, alright. The truth is…" Levi pulled something from behind her back. "We made a cd!" The guild members looked at the cd (what the hell kind of jazz band name was Gajeel and the Shorties?) and sighed in exasperation.
Make your Own Head Day: November 28
"That's a great sculpture, Gray. It looks just like you!"
"Thanks!"
"The head's just as empty, too."
Square Dance Day: November 29
The strange dance that Bisca and Alzack were teaching their daughter had everyone wondering if the new parents needed to be carted off to the nearest insane asylum.
Stay at Home because you are Well Day: November 30
If Lucy ever decides to stay home, her friends would take it as a sign to mean that they should hang out at her place.
(1): Children's Day is celebrated on a variety of different days depending on your country. Because multiple countries celebrated it on November 20, I decided to use this date.
(2): All of these holidays take place the day after the American holiday, Thanksgiving (which is the fourth Thursday of November). Because Thanksgiving is an American holiday, I didn't do it in the story since the holiday is exclusive to a single country and has historic foundings. The holidays that come after Thanksgiving have no historical merit and therefore can be in this story. Just thought I would mention this.
As always, I hope you laughed and thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this monster of a fanfiction. Also, look for my new story which will be uploaded soon.
