This chapter is a gender bender (squeals in excitement at finally getting a suggestion to do one). I have so many requests to do and it makes me happy. Every time I get a review, it makes my day. I also want to apologize to my favorite reader, animepairings4eva, for not doing your other suggestion for this chapter but I can't ignore my other readers. I promises I will do your other suggestion and thanks for every review I get from you because I can't help but grin like an idiot when I read them. (Miron: Male Mirajane; Frena: )
Disclaimer: do I even need to type this anymore? I think everyone knows...
A green haired girl awoke to find herself in some random house. Odd, she could have sworn she had fallen asleep in a tulip last night. She stood up and found she was in a cradle. She walked over to the edge and slipped through the bars easily before dropping onto the ground below. Exploring the room, she found it was relatively bare with just a table with a single book, a chair at the table, the crib she was in not long ago, and a door. The door suddenly opened, startling the small girl. A kind looking old woman walked into the room and looked to the crib to notice the girl was gone. The old woman frantically looked around the room and started to walk forward until she noticed that she almost stepped on who she was looking for. The old woman apologized and picked her up, placing her in the table. The old woman sat in the chair and stared at the green haired girl who was no taller than a sewing needle. "You are ok my dear?" The girl, Frena, nodded. The old woman smiled, "That's good, my dear. Now, what might your name be?" Frena realized her rudeness for not introducing herself earlier. "I am Frena." The old woman smiled, "That's a beautiful name, I am Makara" ( ). After introductions had been completed, Frena looked around. "Where am I, I was asleep in a tulip last night but now I am here." Makara looked at the girl sadly. "I apologize, I've never had a child yet always wished for one so when a mysterious woman brought you to my house I was far too excited to question where you came from. I believe the woman's name was Jennal. If you wish I can try to find her so I can ask her where she found you. After that I can take you back." Frena shook her head, "That's fine. I've lost my memories so I would just be lost again if you put me back. I had been wandering around looking for anyone so I'm glad my wish came true." "Oh how awful." So Frena stayed with Makara and lived happily for the next two months. Makara would read the same story to Frena every day. Frena loved the story because it was about little people such as herself. She would dream every night about these little people with wings, fairies. One night, for some strange reason, she couldn't get to sleep so she stood on the table in her room. Under her feet was her favorite book. She stared down at the pictures of fairies on the glossy pages. She sang to herself sadly about waiting for love when a beautiful voice behind her finished the song. Frena turned around in shock to see a silver haired boy her size and, coming from his back was "Wings! You're a fairy!" The boy smiled, "Yes, and you have no wings yet you are not the size of a human." The boy seemed confused at that. "Why?" Frena looked down, "I don't know. I have no memories." The boy looked at her sympathetically at the frowning girl. Then he had a sudden idea. He grabbed her hand and flew to the windowsill. "Come with me!" Frena was surprised at that, "But.. I can't leave mom! And I don't even know your name!" The boy laughed, "Oops, I'm Miron, and don't worry, we'll come back before morning." Frena nodded slowly. Miron smiled and pulled her towards her bumblebee. They got on and flew off to some unknown place. They landed near a pond in a meadow of flowers. Miron started to sing and soon his voice was joined with Frena's. Three frogs in the pond nearby observed the two, drawn to them by their harmonious voices. One frog turned to the one in the middle and whispered to her, "Mama, I love her. I want her to be by my side." The frog in the middle looked to her son, "It shall be done Laxus." Then the other frog spoke up, "If Laxus gets the girl then what do I get?" "Patience, Bickslow, when you find a girl you love, I will bring her to you."
Arriving back at Makara's cottage, Frena got off the bumblebee to feel something slide over her head and hand around her neck. She looked down to see small purple flowers, "Forget-me-not's..." Miron smiled, "Please, forget me not." Frena smiled bashfully. Miron flew off into the night and Frena jumped down into the cradle underneath the windowsill. She fell asleep and had dreams of dancing through the meadow of flowers with Miron. She continued to sleep as she was grabbed by slimy hands and carried off back to the meadow. She awoke to swaying underneath her. Slowly sitting up, she found herself upon a miniature boat made of leaves and various other things. Around her were three frogs, staring at her expectantly. She frantically ran to the edge of the boat to find herself in the middle of the pond, floating peacefully in the foggy morning. She whirled around to look at her captors, "Why have you brought me here?" The most feminine of the frogs hopped towards her, (if frogs can even be called feminine). "Why? My dear, you are here to marry my oldest son of course! He fell in love with you last night and has been anxiously awaiting for you to awaken. Frena wished she could step further back but that would take her off the boat and she couldn't possibly escape that way because she couldn't swim while the frogs could. One frog at the female frog's side hopped forward, "I hope to marry you as soon as possible, when will you be ready?" "N-NEVER!" The frog that just spoke looked genuinely hurt. "Laxus dear, don't take it to heart. I'm sure she is just nervous." The frogs continued this, trying to get Frena to marry Laxus but she protested every time and desperately wished she could swim. Then, all at once, all three frogs jumped towards Frena and she instinctively jumped backwards and fell into the water. Struggling to stay above water, Frena grabbed the nearest thing to her which happened to be a lily pad. In desperation to get away, she broke the stem and floated along the current. She was scared, lost, lonely, cold, and hungry.
Back at the cottage, Makara was frantically searching for Frena. Then she heard a quiet voice, "Where is she?" Makara turned to see a small boy, only slightly taller than Frena, flying on translucent purple wings. His elegant green clothes gave off the hint that he was at least a noble, if not royalty. Makara just shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I'll go find her." He rushed out of the window and heard a heart-breaking "thank you" almost lost to the wind that Miron was now struggling to fly in. Winter was on it's way, he HAD to find her before then. He arrived at a beautiful lavender colored castle and stormed into the throne room. He walked up to the king and queen and they looked at him worriedly. The way he stormed in meant something important happened. "You must delay the coming of winter." Evergreen, the queen, stood up in shock and gasped. "Why is this son?" The king asked, he was calm yet confused. The prince told of what happened to his parents. "That is troublesome but delaying winter for too long would ruin the balance of this world. It's too risky." Evergreen had sat down while Miron told his story. Elfman nodded in agreement with his wife, "I agree that is a big problem. We will delay it as long as we are willing to risk but NO promises. Understand?" Miron nodded and thanked his parents wholeheartedly. He ran out of the castle, hopped onto his bumblebee, and sped off to find Frena.
Frena finally got the assistance from a few fish and they took her to shore. She was lost but at least on solid ground and away from the frogs. She thanked the fish then looked around nervously. Which way should she go? She finally decided to follow some beetles since it was better than nothing. For weeks she wandered with those bugs, eating what they gave her and silently cried herself to sleep at night. Winter was coming and she felt it more and more. One night it snowed and Frena got separated from them beetles. She wandered until she collapsed beneath a big dead tree. (I know I'm skipping the jitter-bug section but I don't think I could write it very well since I'm writing this based on memory only.) She awoke feeling warm and comfortable. She sat up to find herself in a cottage with everything perfect for her size. There was a little white field mouse stirring a pot at the stove. "Um..." The mouse turned to the voice she heard to find the girl awake. "Oh my! You are finally awake!" The mouse scurried over to the bed Frena was on. "I'm Melody!" "I-I'm Frena. Where...?" "Oh! we're at my house. You sure are a pretty one!" "Thank you." Melody went back over to the pot on the stove and ladled some of it into a wooden bowl. Handing the bowl to the girl, the mouse sat on the edge of the bed. "The winter this year is quite severe this year. I hear the king and queen of the fairies delayed it so their son could search for someone. Poor lad ended up frozen in the river near by. Shame, I hear he was a real hansom one too. Silver hair, purple wings, green royal robes. It must be breaking the king and queen's hearts." Frena almost dropped her bowl. No, not Miron. He was looking for someone. Could it be herself? She is the reason why he's dead? No! Tears rolled down her checks. The mouse looked at her startled, "Did you perhaps know him?" Frena nodded. "Oh, poor dear!" Frena handed the half full bowl to Melody and laid down to sleep.
Miron struggled to fly until his wings could no longer carry him. He was at least glad that he had sent his bumblebee back home, not wanting to endanger him with such strong wind. That was what Miron thought of as he fell into the river and froze. Shortly after, the same beetles that Frena had been traveling came upon the prince. They hurriedly cut him out of the ice and put him next to the fire they just built. Slowly the prince began to thaw until he was a shivering mess of a boy, scooting as close to the fire as he dared.
Frena awoke feeling empty and numb. She was dressed quickly by the mouse and hurried into a tunnel in the corner of the room. "Where are we going?" Melody turned to the monotonous sounding girl. "We are going to visit Mr. Ulteren, the badger. He has been wanting to meet you. He is quite rich and I think you two could make each other happy." Frena didn't care anymore. She meet with Mr. Ulteren and she sang for him when he requested. She did everything as she was asked to do. She didn't care about anything anymore. Then the badger asked her to marry him. She agreed without any feeling. The wedding was the next day.
News spread everywhere, Mr. Ulteren was to marry a beautiful green-haired girl, the size of a fairy. Miron didn't believe it at first but he had to go to the wedding to make sure.
The next day, Frena walked down the aisle with Melody towards her soon to be husband. She arrived at the alter and stared blankly at Mr. Ulteren. Before the vows could even begin, Miron barged in and ran up to Frena. "Frena!" She turned at the familiar voice calling her name. "M-Miron!" The girl dropped her bouquet and ran over to the one she truly loved. He embraced her as he cried in relief. He finally found her. "I heard you were dead, frozen in the river because you were looking for me." Miron shook his head. "No, I'm alive and ok, now lets go." "Yes, please. I only want to marry you." Miron smiled and fled the wedding, taking the bride with him. Many tried to stop them but the two managed to escape. They ran for their lives as they finally arrived somewhere in the middle of the forest. They were both thoroughly lost until Frena remembered something. "We're close, I know where we are." Miron looked at her dazed eyes and realized she just remembered something. "What's close?" That broke Frena from her trance. "I-I don't know but it's close and safe." She grabbed Miron's hand and lead him deeper into the forest. Miron realized where they were going. They were headed towards the kingdom of the spring fairies. It wasn't too far from his kingdom of the winter fairies. The sun came out and the snow began to melt. By the time they arrived at the kingdom, flowers had started popping up. The prince couldn't believe how much time he had spent looking for his love. It was already spring time. Frena stood in the middle of the kingdom as it slowly awoke. Fairies began to come out of houses everywhere. Frena remembered. She was princess of the spring fairy kingdom. She was home. The morning sun struck the water left from the melting snow and made the entire kingdom glow with the light yet what gave off the most light was Frena. She was surrounded in a soft pink light that soon collected at her back between her shoulder blades. The light took on the form of the most beautiful wings Miron had ever seen. The light faded but the wings continued to glimmer naturally. A red-haired woman and a blue haired man ran out of the palace gates and towards Frena. The crowns upon their heads clearly showed they were the king and queen, Frena's parents. Miron was shocked beyond belief when he realized what was happening and who Frena was. He smiled and walked up to the king and queen and bowed respectfully. "I wish to ask you for your daughter's hand in marriage." Queen Erza hugged her daughter tightly in excitement when Miron told her that and King Jellal smiled wide, wrapped his arm around Miron's shoulder, and whispered, "Hurt my daughter and I'll kill you," before laughing at Miron's scared face. King Jellal ruffled Miron's hair and lead everyone to the castle.
Miron and Frena ruled over both kingdoms together and had two beautiful children. The girl had beautiful silver hair like her father and grandfather. She was named Lisanna and proclaimed crowned princess of the winter fairy kingdom. The second child was born with pink hair unlike anything anyone had ever seen, although the spring fairies were known for their crazy-colored hair, (such as red, blue, and green). This child was a boy named Natsu and he was the crowned prince of the spring fairy kingdom.
