Last Time on Fairy Tail:
Natsu:TAA-DAA-DAAANN! Lucy was the chosen one!
Happy:Aye, sir!
I12Bfree:It's so hard to type my name...Maybe I should change it. Anyway Lucy and her gang has entered the Grand Book of Fairy Tales. Nobody can remember anything except for Lucy who-
Natsu: -is the chosen one!
I12Bfree: (sigh) Could you please not interrupt me when I'm talkin-
Happy: Aye! The rest of us will remember ourselves as fairy tale characters!
I12Bfree: Never mind...Natsu, could you say it for today?
Natsu: Yeah!
Happy: (eyes shining) Wow, Natsu. You get the honor of saying it!
I12Bfree: (sweatdrops) Um...Am I supposed to say something here?...
Natsu: I12Bfree does not own FT. I own it.
Happy: No, you don't.
I12Bfree: (sarcastically) Well done,Natsu. By the way, Happy. Could you bring someone else next time?
Lucy stared at the odd-looking people. Her eyes widened as realization struck her.
'This is the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. These people must be Munchkins.'
She had expected to land in a weird place but she had never expected somewhere like here. Maybe magically wake up being surrounded by cute talking animals or in a palace surrounded by shiny walls and chandeliers but to wake up and find herself in a nearly broken house surrounded by odd-looking people? Lucy tried not to frown.
She looked around and saw a pair of legs sticking out of the house. The legs were wearing a pair of silver slippers.
Immediately recognizing the feet and she ran over to it and started to take the slippers off the feet. A small aroma of sweat and old socks rose from her foot. Lucy wrinkled her nose and accidently said out loud,
"Urgh."
The munchkins frowned and watched her take off her own shoes (Dorothy's) and put on the slippers.
"I gotta get going. It was nice meeting you all." Lucy handed them her shoes and started running off, with plue following close behind, to the yellow brick road.
As soon as she was out of sight one of the munchkins rolled his eyes and murmured sarcastically.
"She's a delight, isn't she."
Glinda tossed her shoes away.
Lucy stopped running to catch her breath. The celestial mage had been too focused on progessing to the next scene or story that was awaiting her that she had begun to run without a second thought. Plue had finally caught up to her and fell down on her slippers. She picked him up and started walking along the path laid in front of her.
As she did that she looked around at the spectacular and strange scenery. Every time she passed a bend in the road new, strange animals appeared. Even the trees that lined the road gave the appearance of faces. Lucy breathed deep as a light breeze passed by, tickling her face. The air smelled of vanilla and was very clean.
Lucy was the official bookworm (or the only bookworm excluding Levy) in the guild. She knew her fairy tales and remembered every detail of the current tale she had, literally, landed at. If her memory served her correctly she would walk for a long duration of time before meeting the Scarecrow. She sighed as she thought about walking for miles. She pondered on whether the Scarecrow would be one of her friends or just another character from the story as the munchkins had been. Either way, she would probably have to help him off his pole in order to keep the story going.
A field appeared not far away from her, bringing her out of her thoughts. Puzzled, she ran over to it. She didn't remember anything about a field before meeting the Scarecrow. Unless this was where she was supposed to meet the Scarecrow. But that couldn't be. It was too early!
"Who are you?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind her. Lucy turned around at the voice and came face to face with none other than her best friend. The pink haired boy was now in an attire similar to that of a farmer. His straw hat dangled off from his neck and bits of straw poked out from his clothes and muffler.
"NATSU!"
Lucy had never been so was glad that she leaped up and flung herself to him. Unfortunately, because of his light character, he was unable to hold her weight and the two tumbled into the field.
"Oomph!"
Someone else's weight weighed her down and as her eyes and senses adjusted from the sudden force of falling on her back she realized the proximity she was sharing with the other person. Not only was Natsu on top of her, his lips had collided onto hers. Lucy could feel the blood rush to her face.
She could feel the taste of his mouth and the warmth of his body and the beating of her heartbeat. Hers? His? Unable to think she quickly stood up, pushing the strangely silent Natsu off from her.
She could swear her heart was beating loudly enough for the world to hear. She wiped her lips and turned her back at him, wanting to hide her red face. How was she going to face her him now?
Breaking the silence, Natsu jumped up.
"I remember everything now!"
The map in Mirajane's hands started glowing and the first heart on the map reappeared with a red mark in the shape of lips. Beneath it there was writing on it.
The writing read: Natsu and Lucy
Gurid chuckled.
Mirajane smiled.
"One down, Four to go."
"How did you even get off the pole in the first place?"
"I broke the pole in two." Natsu replied to Lucy who sighed,
"You do need brains."
Suddenly, without warning, the sky began to grow dark very quickly. In a few seconds the sky was as dark as night-time. "What?!"
Then again, suddenly without warning a cottage appeared in front of them. The duo just stood, astounded.
The compass on Lucy's arm which she had been wearing like a watch started glowing red. And before anyone could do anything a screen popped out from the screen. On the screen was Gurid's face. Natsu walked over to it and waved his hand over it. His hand went right through it.
The screen-I mean Gurid spoke."Hey."
Overwhelmed by surprise, Lucy stood gaping at the sudden display. Natsu however seemed casual." Yo. How'd you get here?"
Clearing his throat, Gurid looked at the two through the hologram.
"I forgot to tell you important things. I always forget stuff. My age must be catching up to me... "
"Just start already!"
"Oh yeah, right. Anyway, first of all, you can only kiss one person. So if you, Dorucy-"
"Dorucy?"
"-I combined Dorothy and Lucy together. So anyway a second kiss won't work. Second, When the compass glows red it means I have something to say to you. If it glows yellow it means you're ready to go to the next story. Third, The reason why everything is happening so quickly is because I want to get on with the story. Soon it will become daytime again."
"I didn't understand any of that but thanks!"
"That explains your character."
The sky started to brighten and the sun which had disappeared just moments ago was resurfacing from the horizon, creating a ethereal view.
"I've got to go now. I used too much magic power." And with that the screen disappeared.
"So, What are we supposed to do now?" Lucy inquired out loud and Natsu grabbed her hand.
"We should continue until we reach our goal!"
He punched his fist into the air and they started running, with Plue close behind, off towards the yellow brick road, now deeply colored in orange rays of sunshine.
(Rave Master Op 1-Butterfly Kiss)
The intense darkness is the beautiful sleeping butterfly
Do you even know you're in the deep blue sky
The fragile world is like building blocks
It wants to fly away
For the one who had only one wish
And loved it
The dice were thrown
Paradise rises from the future
You and I unite in the far away dream
And well get across this blood red river
If I can return all of your tears back to the sea
Will the sins and pain be forgotten too
Warmth was given to a lonely wing
By that precious kiss
For the one who had only one promise
And kept it
A flower embraces a cross with uncertainty
With that bloomed a fickle angel
If someday love that's far away is found
Then paradise will be given to you
In search of true light
We live innocently
For the only one who now believed
And love it
The dice were thrown
Paradise rises from the future
You and I unite in the far away dream
And well get across this blood red river
A flower embraces a cross with uncertainty
With that bloomed a fickle angel
If someday love thats far away is found
Then paradise will be given to you
"We'll definetely find our friends!"
"YEAH!"
-To Be Continued
I12Bfree: I'm really sorry about the short chapter...
Wendy: Am I going to appear in the next story?
I12Bfree: Depends...
Wendy: What's that supposed to mean?!
I12Bfree: (giggles) By the way I was listening to 'Butterfly Kiss' while writing this story and it really suited the last part so try listening to it while reading!
Wendy: I really like the song too. It's the first opening of Rave Master, the previous work of Mashima Hiro, the creator of Fairy tail.
I12Bfree: I forgot to mention something .
Wendy: Really? What is it?
I12Bfree: It's that none of the images I use (and will use) is owned by me. And Wendy, you can say it now!
Wendy: Thank you all for reading!
