Chapter 5- Cosplay...?
Somewhere along the train ride Maddie fell asleep. She mumbled something about how Usa-chan and Natsu-senpai should cuddle.
"What the hell is wrong with our friend?" Hanna questioned.
"Everything." Tiffany replied calmly. She had learned to put up with this shit after too many years of Karate with her. Emma made a pitiful noise, her face green and knuckles white, as Hanna patted her shoulder sympathetically.
"If it makes you feel any better we're about 10 minutes away…?"
"Not helping…" Emma croaked.
"Well, we still have to figure out what we're gonna do when we get home, supplies for cosplaying are expensive." Hanna said, turning to Tiffany. (considering she was the only one who wasn't asleep or about to lose her lunch.) The black-haired girl raised an eyebrow at this.
"Do you guys know how they made cloth before there were stores?" She asked. "We could make all of our own things you know, it won't be that hard." Hanna snorted at this.
"Easy for you to say." She muttered.
The train halted to a stop, and as people poured out, Tiffany was forced to drag Emma and Maddie out, as Hanna watched her struggle under the weight.
"Could you slap them for me?" Tiffany wheezed. "Please?" Emma immediately somehow jumped to life.
"GOD NO LEAVE MY POOR CHEEK ALONE!" She cried, huddling in a ball on the floor.
Maddie was slapped.
"What the hell?" She asked, irritated. "You fucking interrupted my dream about Natsu! You just don't do that!"
"I do it," Tiffany growled, making the Animal Soul mage stand.
"Whatever. You guys go home, I have to buy shit," Maddie groaned, shooing them off with one hand.
"Eh! We need to buy stuff too, ya know!" Emma argued.
"Oh fuck no. I will not go into public with you weirdos when we just moved here," Maddie replied as Hanna handed her some jewels.
"It's only the magic shop!"
"You guys go to the magic shop, I'll buy fabric and stuff."
"Aye sir!"
"The hell...?"
Hanna handed the jewels as Maddie waved to them.
"Sayonara!" She called back, walking towards the shopping district.
"I'll go with her." Tiffany sighed. "You know Maddie, she's gonna get side-tracked and completely forget what she came for. You guys should go home and take care of the wyverns."
~W/ Emma and Hanna~
"Er... which way was home again?" Emma trailed.
"Shit..." Hanna groaned. "We're lost. Where's Tiffany and Maddie when you need them?"
"Welp." Emma said. "We're screwed."
"Actually." Hanna replied, tugging on Emma's hood. "I can see the guild from here. We could wait there… But the problem is, how they'd be able to find us…"
"Are you kidding me?" Emma said in exasperation. "Taffy's like a freaking demon, you think she wouldn't be able to find us?"
"...Okay... good point. We go to the guild," Hanna replied. She pulled out her pen and began writing on her arm. "Dark Écriture- Teleportation!" And her body began decomposing into little runes, floating away on the wind.
"Hey! What about me?" Emma yelled, trying to grab onto Hanna, but to no avail. Hanna let out a maniacal laugh (that sounded suspiciously like Zancrow's).
"See ya beach! You're on your own now!" Hanna laughed, her last words carrying on the wind to Emma. The poor girl just stood there, her body turning cold and lifeless.
"Well." She said. "Fuck."
~W/ Maddie and Tiffany~
"Oh~" Maddie squealed for the umpteenth time. "Look at that puppy. And that kitty!" Tiffany stood next to her, a tick mark apparent on her head.
"Maddie, this isn't the time to be ogling puppies." She snapped. "You can save that for Natsu and the cats that we're gonna get LATER. We need to go get the cloths, remember?" However, Maddie being who she was, didn't move from the spot. So, Tiffany dragged her by her Natsu scarf all the way to the cloth store.
"H-hello?" The cashier asked unsurely, scared by the intimidating aura Tiffany was emitting. "H-how may I-I help you?"
"Cosplay help, please!" Maddie chirped, a bunch of flowers appearing behind her. The cashier gave them a weird look, as Tiffany facepalmed once again.
"What she means." Tiffany sighed. "10 yards of black cloth, 5 yards of dark blue and yellow cloth, 8 yards of white cloth, 20 yards of blue cloth, 6 yards of purple, 6 yards of red cloth, and a yellow and red bow please." The cashier and Maddie stared at Tiffany in shock.
"You fucking memorized that?" Maddie asked. "I thought you had a shitty memory!"
"I do." Tiffany acknowledged. "But after staring at Fairy Tail outfits for so long… you get the point. Oi, did you get that?" The cashier looked up, hurriedly scribbling what Tiffany had said onto the a notepad (A/N What's your favorite idea? Mine is being CREATIVE).
"H-hai."
"Good." Maddie said, fetching out the bag of jewels. "How much does it cost?"
"20,000 jewels." The cashier said. An murderous aura leaked out of the two girls.
"I'm sorry." They said in unison, heads tilting to the side and smiling a maniacal smile. "What was that?" Maddie's fingers irked in the motion of cutting with scissors, as Tiffany drew out her dagger.
"15,000 j-jewels."
"Please repeat that?"
"Uh- 10,000 j-jewels." The cashier stammered, hoping, and praying to whatever God was out there that he'd spare him.
"Okay!" Maddie chirped, her mood instantly changing back. "We'll take it." The cashier hurriedly rushed into the back room to get the materials, not wanting to piss off the two girls any further.
"That." Tiffany smiled. "Is how you get a discount."
"And I'm guessing that's how you got all that furniture as well?" Maddie laughed, raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe~"
~W/ Hanna and Emma~
Hanna's runes floated into the guild hall and solidified into her person.
"I'm back~" She sung, looking around the guild hall. It was fairly empty. The Raijinshuu had gone out training with Laxus, Team Natsu and Team Shadowgear had gone on a mission.
"Welcome back Hanna!" Mirajane smiled. "Where's everyone else?" Hanna let out a snicker at this.
"Tiffany and Maddie are out buying… supplies… and Emma, well. She should be getting here any minute no-"
"HANNA YOU SON OF A FISH!" Emma shouted, as she slammed open the door to the guild hall. "YOU LEFT ME ALONE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!"
"Actually." Hanna snickered. "I left you in the middle of a street."
"SAME THING. BOTTOM LINE IS I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" She cried, leaping towards her sister with full intents of strangling her.
"Dark Écriture: Barrier."
"Requip!" Emma yelled, summoning a pistol into her hand. "Bullet Storm!" The bullets shot towards Hanna, but as they got within a foots reach, they deflected, ricocheting back towards Emma.
"FUUUUU!" Emma cursed, staring at her gun. "Man, I wish Tiffany was here… She would be whooping your ass right now."
"Nah, I'm pretty sure she'd give zero shits about your feelings, Emma," Hanna replied. "I'm sure she'd be sitting at a table, eating cake while watching us beat each other up." Hanna said, sitting down inside her barrier.
"Come out already~" Emma whined. "I wanna kill you~"
"Let me think about it…" Hanna drawled. "How about, NO." Cana and Mirajane watched the two sisters bicker back and forth.
"Well." Cana said drunkenly, taking another sip of her booze. "The guild's sure is gonna get even rowdier with them here."
"I SAID GET OUT OF THERE HANNA. BE A REAL MAN- NO, DERP AND FIGHT ME!" Emma yelled starting to fire bullets once again. Hanna yawned, taking out her pen once again.
"Dark Écriture." She muttered. "Silence." A large white "mute" symbol was shown on Emma's mouth. Let's just say, the guild was a lot quieter.
"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS" Emma mouthed, angrily crossing her eyes looking at the 'MUTE' sign from her mouth, but to her it was 'ETUM'.
Tiffany and Maddie waltzed in before Emma could fire another round of bullets.
"We're back~" Maddie sung, holding up the bag of fabrics, facepaint, wigs, and shoes. "And we've got all the materials we need!"
"I told you they'd find us." Hanna said, attempting to twirl her pen on her fingers, but dropping it to the ground in the process.
"Materials for what? Macao asked. "What the hell are you guys up to now?
"Opening the Chamber of Secrets." Tiffany said flatly, causing various confused faces to pass through the guild.
"Just, don't ask." Hanna answered for them. "Now... TO NARNIA!" And she bolted out the door, heading towards the tower. Emma was pointing to her muted mouth for help, but Maddie and Tiffany ignored her, going after Hanna. Emma ran out of the door after them, cursing in silence. The guild members just stood there. Completely in silence, and not sure how to respond.
At the tower, The derpies were already working on their cosplay, Maddie did the sewing, Tiffany the cutting, Hanna the designs and details, while Emma had to sit in the corner for fighting Hanna, being amused with a random string, still having the 'MUTE' enchantment on her mouth.
"You know, I like it when Emma has this enchantment on her mouth. This means we get some peace around here." Tiffany admitted, breaking the silence.
"Hmm? Oh, yea," Replied Hanna. The two looked over at Maddie, expecting a reply.
Her focus was dead-set on her work.
"Woah..." Hanna gasped in awe. Maddie just completely blocked out everything as her hands flew wildly across the cloth, constantly pricking herself and putting on band-aids (A/N lies~ in real life, Maddie is not this graceful). Emma on the other hand was poking at the string and tied it around her finger, making the tip of it turn purple, she untied it and did to the her other fingers as well.
Soon, the sun was dipping under the horizon, and the girls stared proudly at their finished work. It was almost an exact replica of what the characters wore (A/N Pre-Time skip mind you, other-wise Maddie would be showing things nobody would want to see.), although the Zancrow outfit had a white shirt inside. And, by then, Emma's mute spell had worn off too.
"VEE~" Emma yelled. "I'M FREE!"
"Don't make me put that spell back on you…" Hanna warned.
"Please do." Tiffany groaned, causing Emma slapped her hand over her mouth, trying not to scream her head off.
"We are totally wearing these to the guild tomorrow." Maddie announced happily. "How do you think they'll react? Oh, and Taffy, you're gonna hafta let me draw the tattoo on your face."
"Oh my god…" Tiffany sighed. "I can imagine Erza's reaction. I blame you all if I die."
"If you die Tiffany, It's Maddie's fault." Emma said, putting her hands up, causing the girl to glare at her.
"You guys suck." Tiffany growled. "But, at least the costume's comfortable…"
"Let's go to sleep." Maddie suggested. "I call actually legitimately leaving early for the guild."
"Ayeeee!" They all chorused, as they headed upstairs, each clutching their own costume.
~The next morning at the Guild~
"Hello minna~" Maddie chirped, slamming open the door.
"HOLY SHIT!" Natsu yelled. "IT'S MEREDY, ZANCROW, JELLAL, AND COBRA! FIGHT ME!"
"J-jellal?" Erza stuttered, dropping her cake and staring at Tiffany. "Is that you?"
"Uh…" Tiffany said, backing away slowly, in a Jellal-ly voice.
"Holy shit, they fell for it." 'Zancrow' said. "It's us; Hanna, Maddie, Emma, and Tiffany."
"I look nothing like Meldy..." muttered Maddie, having no idea why they were convinced.
"AWW FUCK YOU, YOU RUINED THE SURPRISE!" 'Cobra' yelled, waving her hands around.
"Why are you guys wearing that?" Gray asked. "Well, it is very well-made…"
"It's cosplay." Lucy replied. "Even I know that."
"What are you children doing?" Makarov asked. "Tiffany, you know if people see you in that, they're gonna arrest you."
"I will blame everything on Emma, Maddie, and Hanna." Tiffany replied smoothly. "Don't worry about it."
"WHY WAS MY NAME FIRST?!" Emma screeched.
"Because you are an idiot." Hanna stated simply.
"Oh. I can live with that."
