Chapter 2: Party at Fairy Tail
A/N: I don't own Fairy Tail. All rights and everything belong to the creator, Hiro Mashima. Thank you all you've read the first chapter and a big shout out to my friend, PlatinumFairy for all the advice and compliments. So without further ado, on with the story.
(Normal POV)
Natsu finally made it to the student lounge, but still had his mind occupied on the blond haired beauty he bumped into. He couldn't stop thinking about her. Natsu was never into much with women, heck he never had a girlfriend because he thought being in a relationship would be too stressful. He figured he would get into women after he graduated, but now he's rethinking things.
Natsu was so into Lucy that he ignored everything around him until-
WHAM
Natsu was sent flying 15 feet till he slammed into the wall. Once he did, he had his hands on his face because he was grunting in pain. After a few more seconds, Natsu stood up before getting all angry like. "Ok, whose the wise guy that just punched me in the face?!" "Tch, quit whining Salamander, I didn't hit you that hard," said the person who punched Natsu. Natsu recognized that voice and turned to the person. "Hey Metal Brows, why did you punch me? I didn't do anything to you yet. You wanna fight me?!" Gajeel gave Natsu a stern glare before turning around. "Not now. We gotta get to Gray and Jellal, they're waiting for you and here you are dozing off like you're thinking about food probably."
Gajeel here is the same age as Natsu, as well as Gray and Jellal. The reason why Gajeel calls Natsu 'Salamander,' is because of his salmon hair and his obsession with dragons while Natsu calls Gajeel Metal Brows is because he has a bit of piercings all over his face.
"Fine, let's hurry then. I'm actually starting to get hungry here." "Tch, when do you ever not think about food?" What Gajeel didn't was that Natsu did think about something else, but didn't want to say anything yet because he would get teased or something. The guys finally made it to where Gray and Jellal were at.
"What took you so long, ya Pyro? And here I was thinking you were off chasing the girls around here," said Gray, who as odd as usual, is missing his shirt while Jellal and Gajeel were shaking their heads. "Shut it, Ice pervert. And I wasn't chasing any girls because they ran away from you since your half naked here."
Natsu and Gray were about to throw down before Jellal coughed for their attention. "Could you two just not fight for once and we can go ahead and start exploring here? I for one, need to see where I need to go for classes." Natsu and Gray just grunted before heading out with Jellal and Gajeel.
The guys started exploring the University and so far, they're really impressed. The University had a lot of things that they didn't see at their old college. The University had a humongous gym, the dorms where huge and all the students had to have two roommates, so it was easy for Gray and the others to get their room instead of being split up, a bar/restraint, a mini-mall, and more.
"Dang, you guys are lucky to be near all of this and I have to walk all the way to get to all of this," Natsu said. "It isn't our fault that you didn't wanna room with anyone else and get your own apartment." Gajeel said. "Then again, I don't think anyone would wanna room with you Pyro since you act like a maniac." Gray then said with a laugh. "YOU WANNA GO, ICE PRINCESS?!" "BRING IT ON, YOU FIRE FREAK!" Natsu and Gray then started fighting while Jellal and Gajeel just sighed and everyone else was just either watching or walking away from it.
Another couples minutes went by and Natsu and Gray were still fighting. "Gajeel, please stop these two before they get into trouble please?" Gajeel was about to knock some sense into the two until-
BAM
WHAM
Natsu and Gray were both punched into the ground. Standing over them, was a woman with long scarlet hair, dressed in business attire, and had fist raised while wearing a very angry look. "If you boys don't stop fighting, then I'll be forced to drastic measures with you two." Natsu and Gray were trying to get up while Gajeel had his jaw down (anime style), while Jellal looked like he was in a trance. He had never seen any woman looked so beautiful until now. He also couldn't stop thinking about how red her hair looked and how beautiful it was.
Natsu and Gray finally got back up before speaking to the mystery woman. "I'm not scared of you. Bring it on." Natsu said while Gray nodded. The woman just shook her head while speaking. "Then I guess you leave me no choice. Prepare yourself for a beat down."
2 minutes later:
Natsu and Gray had so many wounds and bruises that everyone, including Gajeel got scared. The woman looked backed at the two defeated men. "Do you still want to go?" Natsu and Gray just hugged each other while showing signs of being terrified. "No mam, please, we won't fight again, just don't hurt us anymore," both said.
Erza then nodded before walking towards Jellal and Gajeel, who had their jaws dropped to the ground seeing how scary she can be. The woman then spoke to them. "Hello, I'm Erza Scarlet, welcome to Fairy Tail University. I take it you're all enjoying the campus so far?" The guys only just nodded. "Well, I hope you will enjoy this year. The Fairy Tail Bar is having a "Before School Starts Party Tonight," if you all would like to come?" Again, the guys just nodded. "Great, I hope to see you all soon." Before Erza walked off, she stopped next to Jellal. "I hope to see you there too." Erza gave off a wink and walked off.
After a few minutes of standing still, the guys finally spoke about what just happened.
"She's a beast!"
"She's a monster!"
"She's a demon!"
"She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel snapped their heads towards Jellal and that kinda spooked him a little.
"ARE YOU INSANE?! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"
Jellal ignored the three and was lost in his little world along with the Scarlet beauty. Natsu then decided to speak up. "Well since there's a party tonight, I'm gonna head back and get changed. I'll see you guys in a bit." The guys just waved or grunted before Natsu headed on back to his apartment.
Natsu finally got cleaned up and dressed in new attire before heading out. He's looking forward to having some fun at the bar and seeing what the other students are like. Natsu is even hoping that Lucy heard about the party and is going to go. The only thing he wasn't looking forward to was seeing the scarlet beast that almost pulverized him to nothing. He had goose bumps just thinking about what happened.
Natsu finally made it back to the campus and saw Gray and the others outside the bar. "Ready guys," Natsu said with excitement. "Oh yeah and from the sound of it, I say it's a good one," Gajeel said with excitement as well. The guys walked in and when they did, they were amazed of what they saw.
The Bar was two stories tall, with a dance floor on both floors, people dancing or fighting, or even both, food, and so many things that just had them all filled with excitement.
"This place is Awesome!"
"Sure is and wild too!"
"I have to agree!"
"….."
Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal turn their heads to see why Natsu was silent, but it turns out… he disappeared. After a minute or so looking for him, they heard something that they should've seen coming.
"ALRIGHT, WHO'S READY TO RUMBLE BECAUSE I AM!"
Gray and the others turned toward the direction of the voice and saw Natsu brawling with 8 other guys and winning so far. The guys just sighed before going to take a seat at a bar table. "Hello and welcome to Fairy Tail Bar," said a long white haired woman. "My name's Mirajane and I am the manager of the bar. What can I get y'all to drink?" Gray then spoke for the guys. "We'll just have 4 waters. We're watching our pink haired friend brawling over there. Is fighting even allowed here?" "Sure and of course it is, as long as nobody is sent to the hospital or maimed by Erza." Gray and Gajeel shuddered why Jellal is deep in thought about her. "Yeah we know her too."
After 10 minutes, Natsu took a break from brawling and sat with Gajeel while Gray and Jellal got onto the dance floor and showing off their moves. So far, they're the main attraction before starting to dance with all the girls.
Mira then walked up to Natsu and Gajeel. "Aren't you two going to go and dance?" Gajeel gave a grunt before Natsu spoke. "I'm just taking a breather and nut lug here doesn't like to dance." Mira pouted before having a thought. "Well, we always accept Karaoke requests if he likes." Gajeels ears moved before Natsu spoke. "I don't know if that is such a goo-." "I'll do it. Just give me 15 minutes to get ready." Gajeel then disappeared while Mirajane was beaming with joy and heading towards other customers while Natsu has his head down groaning. "Great, I'm about to have my ears blown off again. Can something make this night better please?"
As if Angels had heard his called, someone had tapped Natsu's shoulder before speaking. "Hey there, I thought you would be here." Natsu turned to the voice and was grinning the biggest grin he ever grin (try saying that three times lol). In front of him was Lucy, in a pink strapped dress, pink high heels, light makeup, and her hair all down with a pink bow on top. Natsu was blushing at the sight because once again, he thought he saw an angel. Though this time, Natsu spoke instead of spacing out like last time.
"Hey Lucy, I didn't know if you were gonna come tonight." "There's no way I pass an opportunity like this and my friends wanted to come check it out." "Really? Same here with me and my friends." Lucy then sat down on a chair next to Natsu. "Awesome, then I guess it's my lucky night huh?!" "I was going to say the same thing about me." Natsu and Lucy laughed before getting to know each other.
Lucy is 20 years old. She graduated sooner because she was taking more courses than anyone else and Natsu was impressed. Lucy is going to FT University to become a reporter and novelist. Natsu also found out that Lucy is living in the same apartment complex as Natsu, just 5 floors above his. When Lucy heard about Natsu's tale, at first she was sad to hear about his horrible times being a foster child, but then became happy to hear how much drive, determination, and such that Natsu has gained and accomplished, even laughed about a few things about him. The two of them were having a great time getting to know each other.
"So tell me Lucy, where's your friends?" "Well I have three with me tonight. My best friend Levy, who I've known for a long time, is over at that table reading. My other friend Juvia, who I've known since high school, is dancing with that guy that's not wearing a shirt. And my new friend Erza is dancing with that guy with blue hair and strange tattoo." Natsu shuddered at Erzas' name and tensed a little. "Natsu, is something wrong?" "No, a bad nightmare just came into my head and it made me spooked a little." "I see, so where are your friends?" "Well, I've known them all since I was little. The shirtless guy dancing with Juvia is my best frenemy Gray, who has a horrible habit of stripping." Lucy shuddered at that. "The blue haired guy dancing with Erza is Jellal and Gajeel is-."
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!"
"He's now about to sing and OH MY GOSH, THE NIGHTMARE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!" Lucy gave him a confusing look when she saw Natsu's friend all dressed up in a white suit with sunglasses and holding a huge black guitar. "What's wrong? Your friend is about to sing. I'm sure he's not that bad." Natsu just slumped onto the counter. "Just wait for it."
"THIS IS A TUNE I WROTE. I HOPE YOU'RE READY BECAUSE HERE WE GO."
As soon as Gajeel started singing, chaos has occurred and everyone has now gone crazy. Some were cheering, some were booing, and others….Well, let's just say that people who don't like other people's opinions means one thing….. A HUGE BRAWL OVER THE SONG. Food, drinks, and even people were flying in the air when the brawl started. Lucy was not only in shocked, but scared from Gajeel's voice. "Natsu, does he know that he sounds horrifying?" Natsu had his ears covered, but was still able to hear Lucy. "I warned you didn't I?!" Lucy nodded before Natsu stood onto the counter. "SOMEONE PLEASE GET THAT IDIOT OFF THE STAGE AND PUT SOMEONE WITH REAL TALENT UP THERE?!"
At the next second, Natsu was hit with Gajeels' guitar and fell to the ground. "Natsu, are you ok?" "HEY SALAMANDER, I BET I CAN BEAT THE EVER LOVING CRAP OUT OF YOU!" Natsu jumped back up before responding. "YOU'RE ON, METAL HEAD!" Natsu and Gajeel started brawling, leaving a shocked Lucy trying to absorb what happen before she started to laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHA, is it always like this here?!" Mira came up next to her with a smile on her face. "It sure does because that's Fairy Tail." Lucy gave Mira a smile before trailing her eyes back on the salmon haired man. "Well, I'm liking this place more and more. I think I can get used to this. Including that guy there."
Lucy was then smiling, but what she didn't know was that Natsu was watching her and when he saw her smile, he had a big grin on his face. "Can things get better than this?" Natsu then got punched by Gajeel and got back into the brawl. That night, everyone would never forget the craziest night they've ever had. Good thing tomorrow is Sunday lol.
WHOOOOOOO NELLY. This one took a lot of concentration, but I did it. And I have to say, I can't stop laughing. I hope you all enjoy and please leave a review. Until next time, see ya.
