Yel-chan: I didn't really make you wait too long, did I? I'll try to update every week if that's okay with you, guys. And seriously, that many reviews! I feel like crying when I read all of your nice reviews. Suggestions are still welcome for what you want Gajeel-kun to do. Though I have 5 cliché things for him. *evil laugh*

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail just the plot.

When Gajeel entered the guild, he's immediately greeted by three pairs of questioning eyes. And all he could do is sigh. Natsu, Gray and Happy get up from their table and went to where the iron dragon-slayer is.

The four of them huddled in the farthest end corner of the guild where a lonesome table sits. And that's when everyone in the Fairy Tail guild knows something is up. Because Gajeel didn't hang-out with his so-called 'Flame head, Stripper and blue Exceed'. He always hang-out with either Juvia or alone at the bar- drinking. What confuses them most is the way they greet each other normally.

"Come on, Gajeel." Natsu wiggled his fingers to the other dragon-slayer while Gray leads them to the inconspicuous table at the corner.

"Aye! We have something to ask you." Happy seconds Natsu.

And that's when the guild considers the fact the world is ending or maybe the world is upside-down. Gajeel followed suit with the two. The three of them—excluding Happy—are talking peacefully- yes, peacefully- without the abrupt need of fire, ice and iron.

When they are safe from the prying ears of their guild, they look like their having the meeting of their lives. And that's when Natsu drops the bomb.

"Gajeel, why did you choose us?"

"Aye!" While the two of them are busy interrogating the poor Gajeel, Gray is actually contemplating on God- knows- what.

"Why do you care?" he answered, though snarled might be more appropriate.

"Gajeel should just choose Juvia instead." Happy said. He really has point there. Why didn't Gajeel choose Juvia?

"She's a failure at love." He deadpanned. Truth to be told, Gajeel isn't lying.

'Seriously, she's pretty much head over heels for Stripper and she isn't making her own damn move. She just keeps stalking him—much to my annoyance.' Gajeel thought. But another reason is his one hell of an ego and shyness over his nakama—who knew he had it in him.

"Okay, Metal studs, I have a plan." Gray finally spoke up so he is also listening.

The next day

It was one heck of a weird day for Fairy Tail. Yes, weird. Fairy Tail's definition of weird is not when you see everything flying around and shouting curse words at each other. But weird is when Natsu suddenly opens the door—not kick with his feet, not slam his fist or bang it with fire. Which he had done today and gain odd looks from the guild.

What's more is? Gray—Gray Fullbuster, his rival—is with him alongside with a Happy perched comfortably in Natsu's shoulder. But what shocks them the most is Gajeel Redfox. Several guild members are chocking on their drink. They never thought they will live to see him like this. There, behind Natsu, Gray and Happy, is Gajeel in his outmost weirdness.

Gajeel is sporting a cleanly ripped short-sleeved t-shirt that says 'IRON ROCKS' in messy, bold and black lettering that hugs his toned body perfectly. He's also sporting a pair of jeans with a metal studded belt that he personally made. A pair of comfy combat boots graced his feet that made clanking noises every time he takes a step with metal studs adorning the shoes. And good God! His hair is tied up in a pony tail. But he looks good in it.

The guild feels like they are seeing the news of their life. Gajeel wearing something passable and his shaggy hair is tied up is something you're not going to see again—not in a million, no scratch that, not in a billion years.

Everyone is staring, gaping and ogling at the foursome that recently arrived at the guild. Natsu and Gray are smirking on their way to their own unofficial table, followed by a flying Happy and a stoic-faced Gajeel.

Time seems to stop be every time Gajeel passed them.

"Gajeel is finally a man!" Elfman finally break the seemingly pregnant silence.

And the guild just cheered but unbeknownst to them, Gajeel is pissed off.

Fairy Tail is having the time of their lives, even Master Makarov is joining the fun. Too bad Erza is away on her mission, alone.

The guild is laughing at them, cheering for them and other crazy thing that can be consider as the norm of the said guild.

'Gajeel looks an eligible bachelor with a punk look, trying to impress Levy. Too bad.' Mirajane thought.

'What in the world Natsu, Gray and Happy did to Gajeel?' Lucy just stared at the foursome on the table.

'Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay-sama!' Juvia's mind is squealing in delight at the sight of his beloved mage. 'Wait is that Gajeel-kun. Juvia can't believe her eyes. Is this really Gajeel-kun?'

Meanwhile, while the guild is busy laughing and staring to them, the four is having a whispered commotion—a very heated one and Natsu isn't helping.

"Levy isn't here." Gray said, dejected.

"Aye!" Happy should learn not to mock them.

"Bloody hell! Are you freaking kidding me?" The guild's party suddenly came to a halt because of Gajeel's outburst.

"Shadow Gear left for a mission."

The next thing they saw. A very very Gajeel is storming out of the guild….

Omake

Gajeel, together with Natsu, Gray and Happy, is walking through an array of different shops. They decided Gajeel needed a make-over.

"You need new clothes. For a guy to attract the girl you love, you need to look presentable." Gray said.

"Said someone who walks in boxers." Gajeel silently muttered but Gray still hear him.

When they spotted a promising- looking shop, they quickly entered and gain weird looks from every one in the shop. They look a little bit around and finally spotted a mannequin and some racks with assorted clothes.

"Gajeel, this will look good on you." Natsu is holding a pair of mini skirt and a tank top. Gajeel inevitably choke on air.

"You…" Gajeel's voice trailed into a very dangerous and undoubtedly lethal.

"Natsu. Gajeel." Happy said "Don't mess up this shop if Erza caught a wind of this."

At the sound of Erza's name the two is sent into a swearing frenzy. They are imagining the worst possible scenario and it's not pretty.

Gajeel looks around the shop once more and pick out a ripped statement shirt, jeans and combat boots. He decided to make his own studded belts here doesn't meet his standards.

Gray headed to the counter and wait for the clerk to compute how much their purchases are.

"You're emptying my Jewels, Stripper." He snarled .

"Do you want to win Levy's heart or what?"

"How much do you need?" Gajeel answered reluctantly.

When they already paid for their items with a shocking amount of 15, 000 Jewels for just a bunch of clothes, Happy suggested something.

"Natsu, let's give Gajeel a haircut."

"Yeah, what will Gajeel look like when his hair is short?" Natsu replied to his Exceed.

Gajeel's eyes widened in horror.

"Damn it! Do you want another fight, Flame head?" Gajeel is not willing to get his hair cut by the two.

"You don't need a haircut." Gray intervenes. "Or else…" his voice trailed. Let Gajeel do what he wants if he pursues Natsu's idea, it will surely result in frozen things, ashes and iron flying everywhere.

"I'll just tie my hair." The statement shocked the living daylights out of the three. They are having exaggerated visions of Gajeel in pony tail. And that's enough to send then in a laughing fit.

Yel-chan: AH! It's not as long as the others but I hope you're not bored with it. Don't worry the real fun starts at maybe Chapter 3. The real courting, that is. This is just part of 'Gajeel's transformation'. Should I continue the omake? Do you like it?

Thank you to all that reviewed my story. I really appreciate it. Read and Review. No flames, please.
