Chapter 3 - How To Train Your Dragon
'Mystogan' was now totally infamous throughout the whole guild with Erza and The Cheesecake. What totally surprised Laxus is that he had no broken bones.
So Laxus and some other guys assumed that the scarlet mage was going soft! Jellal knew that the other mages were going to hit on Erza because of his lack of injuries, so he had to quickly think of another plan and he was going to seek counsel with Jellalnette. He was going to throw away the bet if it came to that... Jellal was extremely possessive over Erza and he didn't like the thought of any other guy hitting on her because of this damn bet. What made things worse was that Ultear and Meredy knew because Gray told them!
Cana was extremely bored, the liquor was almost dried up, and she was on her last can of beer and Laxus was plotting something with Freed and Bixlow. She decided to call over Evergreen, who was looking left out. Evergreen was pissed as she she felt excluded, this bet was getting in the way of the Thunder God Tribe and she didn't like it one bit.
" What are they talking about?" Cana slurred.
" Laxus' next victims - Lucy, Erza, Lisanna and Mirajane but Bixlow and Freed want Laxus to leave the takeover siblings alone, so it looks Laxus is going to try seduce Lucy," Evergreen shook her head.
" So hmm Team Blonde meh I think if Lucy just inserts some pink into the team blonde situation she'll be fine ," Cana laughed as Evergreen looked over at Elfman, he was talking to Kinana and Cobra looked angry. Evergreen decided to go on a mission, she was starting to get really irritated.
" Hey Kinana and Lisanna do you want to go a mission together?" Ever asked the two mages.
" Yeah sure I'd love to go on a mission with you Ever!" Lisanna smiled.
" Sorry I have bar work," Kinana shouted as Evergreen and Lisanna went to the request board.
Lucy was sitting next to Natsu at the bar as Laxus came strolling over towards them and Mira. Mirajane was starting to get very angry with Laxus, as she had heard from Evergreen that he was going to try and kiss all the female guild members. She didn't understand his need for it, how did someone like Freed worship this guy? As Mirajane walked away to serve Evergreen and Lisanna who were looking over guild requests, something strange happened - a rune trap. Mirajane looked over at a frightened Freed. Then Mirajane heard a booming voice.
" Basically blondie you have to kiss me if you want to get out of here..." Freed felt awful at that point, as Laxus wasn't portraying himself in the best of lights. Cana groaned, how in hell did this guy claim that he fell for her? Sure looked like it, she thought. Cana decided she couldn't care less and decided to call Bacchus. The rest of the guild watched in anticipation to the scene that was unravelling.
" Basically Laxus's mouth has to be kissed in order of you to get out of the rune trap, even if Laxus decides against it after a while you will still have to kiss him!" Freed said as Mirajane slapped him HARD. Her demon soul was turning on, she wanted Natsu and Lucy to get together and this stupid BET was making all her ships SUFFER! Mirajane was fuming.
" Mira snap out of it!" Lisanna shook her sister.
" This is SEXUAL HARASSMENT!" Lucy screeched.
" There is nothing sexual about it, unless you see it going that way!" Laxus moved closer to the celestial mage who gulped.
" I'm reporting you and Freed for rape as Mirajane as my witness," Lucy threatened while the girls nodded their heads and Laxus and Freed gulped.
" Why me?" Freed asked.
" Because you chose to hold Lucy there against her will in that trap!" Mirajane eye's flashed as the guild realised that their beloved motherly barmaid had vanished at this time. Freed shrunk back. " Laxus I think the perverted side is something you get from the master, it must run in the family..." Laxus went red.
" Wait I'M STUCK IN THIS TRAP WITH LAXUS AND LUCY," Natsu screamed. The whole guild laughed as they realised Natsu was actually stuck in the corner of the rune trap.
" YOU DENSE PINK HAIRED IDIOT!" Lucy screeched, venting her anger and bitterness towards the Dragon Slayer. The dragon slayer was furious, he didn't want to be brought into this! Lucy then had an idea she brought out her celestial keys.
" Gate of the twins! I summon Gemi and Mini!" Lucy said. Gemi and Mini waved as they came through their portal and the girls waved a sign of relief. Cana laughed at how Laxus' plan backfired. " I want you both to transform into anyone of your liking and kiss Laxus!" Lucy instructed, as the twins broke down in tears...
" MISTRESS PLEASE DON'T MAKE US DO THAT!" Gemi begged as they told Lucy that their power weakened, when they were forced to pretend that they were in love. Gemi and Mini broke down in tears as Laxus was starting to get angry. Why did he make that stupid deal with Freed? Lucy told them to go back and summoned Virgo - out came Loke of all people!
" Hey Lucy, Virgo's on her annual holiday! What do you need doing? I said to Virgo I'd cover for her since she covered for me when I was on my date with Aries," Lucy wanted to cry. " Will you kiss Laxus for me please Loke?"
" Um Lucy I don't want to test my sexuality, when I 100% know that I'm straight and I'm taken," Loke smiled then opened up his own portal. What happened to the fact that spirits were supposed to obey their master? Lucy couldn't summon any more celestial spirits after this and she started to cry.
" My first kiss is going to Laxus!" Lucy was in floods of tears as Mirajane knocked Freed out. Then Mira was crying to, her ship! She was going to KILL Laxus!
" Lucy you seriously haven't had your first kiss?" Natsu asked as the celestial mage nodded. She wasn't lying, she just genuinely didn't have her first kiss even on new years everyone just kissed her on the cheek.
" No I haven't - I may go on a lot of dates Natsu but the furthest they have ever got is kissing me on cheek, I just wanted to save my first kiss for someone special and when I was 100% sure... but I'll guess Laxus will have that joy..." Lucy said as she walking towards Laxus, who was already puckering up. Cana, Mira and Lisanna were going to kill the asshole! Natsu bursted into spontaneous flames and knocked Laxus flying into the rune wall. Before Lucy knew it she was having her first kiss with Natsu...
Lucy's eyes were wide as Loke reopened his portal.
" WHY MAVIS? WHY DOES HE HAVE TO GET HER FIRST KISS!" Loke face palmed, as well with all the other male members of the guild while all the female's hearts were melting apart from Erza's.
" Natsu I'm going to SLAUGHTER you when you get out of there! This is your way of trying to get Lucy to be your girlfriend..." Natsu and Lucy couldn't hear her, they were still going at it. Loke was crying, Gray was crying and Laxus was crying. How? Why? All they could think that Natsu was a lucky bastard. As they both finally broke apart everyone cheered and Lucy was lost for words.
" That was so hot... Wait I didn't mean it like that!" Lucy stuttered and waved her arms. LUCY WAS BLUSHING, FLUSTERED AND STUTTERING? Erza and Cana knew in that moment Lucy's bet hanged in the balance. Mirajane, Juvia and Lisanna were happy! Mira because her favourite ship had a major moment, Juvia because she could now officially confirm that her best girlfriend was not a love rival and Lisanna because she loved seeing Natsu happy.
" Hold on a second!" Mirajane spoke silencing the whole guild as they looked at their beloved barmaid and the rune mage who was knocked out. " Lucy still has to kiss Laxus's mouth!"
" That's true SOMEBODY has to kiss Laxus's mouth," Natsu grinned.
Guild's thoughts in simple terms - O.o. The guild minds had exploded...
Laxus started shaking as Natsu started walking towards Laxus, Cana saw Juvia take out Lucy's camera and Freed was about to wake up. Mirajane then had an idea, the barmaid had her demon strength and she grabbed Freed with such a force that he was nearly sick as she pushed him onto the outskirts of the trap. Natsu was slowly walking towards Laxus, as Lucy's eyes were popping out of her head. Freed sweat dropped and started chewing his finger nails.
" LAXUS! I'm so sorry..." Freed was blubbing, he had let his leader down. Freed felt awful! He turned away, as Laxus was frightened out of his life.
The lightening dragon slayer liked to think he was tough, he was awesome and he was fearless. He felt neither of these three things in this moment of time, he felt like his reputation was going to be ruined and things didn't help that his right hand man was weeping in the corner. That's it Laxus was TOUGH, Laxus was AWESOME and Laxus was FEARLESS. Natsu Dragneel wasn't going to kiss Laxus Dreyar. LAXUS DREYAR was going to kiss NATSU DRAGNEEL. He ran towards Natsu, sweeping him up bridal style as he heard heads explode especially Cana's and gave the pink haired dragon slayer a massive SMOOCH on the lips.
" WHAT THE FUCCKKK? WHAT THE FUCCCK? GET OFF ME YOU BASTARD! I WAS GONNA PUNCH YOU ON THE LIPS, SO THAT MY FIST WAS KISSING YOU BASTARD LAXUS! FIRST GRAY AND NOW YOU! JUST BECAUSE MY HAIR IS PINK..." The whole guild stared at Natsu who was curled into a small ball. " I feel defiled..."
" What do you mean first Gray - flame brain?" Gray was getting wound up.
" YOU DENSE IDIOT!" Laxus banged the worked up dragon slayer on the head as he realised that his right hand man was sitting in the corner deflated and crying that he had failed his leader.
" Freed you haven't failed me yet - I'm still the tough, fearless and awesome mother fucking Laxus, you have never failed me once! I love you man!" Laxus picked up the rune mage and gave him a hug.
" I take it Natsu turned you gay or you've always had a crush on Freed.." Cana spoke.
" No I was always bisexual," Laxus winked and went up to the guild's resident drunk, " but what turns me on the most is when you actually did strip for me," Laxus grinned as the guild's eyes finally popped.
" What was that Dreyar?" The whole guild heard a voice of authority...
Gildarts had finally returned. Ultear, Meredy and Laki were standing behind him!
" You and me Dreyar tomorrow 5:00pm, by the river!"
Bixlow and Freed had started digging their leader's grave.
Cana Alberona couldn't wait!
The only good thing that came out of today was that Natsu was in Lucy's bed and she didn't mind at all. Infact she was lying next to him silently, it was a comfortable silence and Happy was with Charle & Wendy, so it was peaceful. Nobody knew that Natsu was at Lucy's house and they intended to keep it that way. Not one of them mentioned the kiss or the bet, but Lucy bandaged Natsu's head where Laxus had smacked it. She wanted to kiss him again.
Her first kiss went to the most perfect person and for a moment Lucy could swear that she saw a dragon in his eyes and that was the most beautiful thing that she had ever seen. Lucy knew that eventually all dragons had to claim a mate and she was hoping that Natsu might claim her... She couldn't expect that though, she didn't want Natsu to suddenly transform into this sophisticated knight in shining armour and try attract her. She wanted Natsu to always be Natsu... The dense dragon slayer who sleeps in her bed, eats to much of her food and knows nothing about attracting a woman. She didn't want Natsu to be one of those educated, prim and proper high society fellows who she dated, that always kept a fair amount of courteous distance from her. She wanted Natsu to be close to her as possible.
And somehow she wished she could explain all of this to Natsu...
Natsu was now snoring away to himself and he was pulling the cute face that could melt any girl's heart and unlike the last time where where he was in the guild and he thought Lucy was Gray, he didn't punch out at her. Natsu looked so content and Lucy didn't know what it was, maybe it was some invisible puppet string but she wrapped her arm around him and pulled him close to her, Natsu had put a arm around Lucy like he did everyday. She had never felt so safe and sound, to feel that arm again.
Lucy didn't know what made her cry so much, she was always cried when the guild was in trouble or when her friends were hurt or when she thought she let down the guild but she now felt a totally different type of tears and they were falling quick and fast. She thought of everyone who was taken away from her such as her Mother, Father, Michelle, Eclair and Momon. She then remembered her Mother reading fairy tales to her and it always ended with that the prince would say that they loved the Princess and then they kissed. Lucy's first kiss had went wrong and she loved it! She didn't have a prince who was going to become King. She had a dragon slayer who was going to become a Dragon!
Natsu felt water fall on top of him as he slowly started to wake up, Lucy was crying... LUCY WAS CRYING! His best friend was upset!
" Lucee you weirdo! What's wrong?" Natsu was confused one minute they were content and the next minute she was competing with Juvia to see who could create the fastest flood?
" My first kiss went wrong!" Natsu was incredibly hurt, he had kissed Lisanna, Mira, Erza, Cana and a few others when he was a kid and the game was catchy kissy but his kiss with Lucy was the best experience of his life and he had never felt so much like a dragon in that moment. " It wasn't you Natsu - you were great! I just imagined that the person would say he would love me, and it would be romantic and perfect... but the strange thing was I actually liked no LOVED kissing you..." As Natsu had started wincing at the words until he heard the last part that Lucy loved kissing him to.
" But it wasn't your perfect idea of a Fairy Tale Lucy?" Natsu questioned.
" No it's dysfunctional fairy tail, where I have a dragon instead of a Prince," Lucy smiled.
" But I'm not a dragon?" Natsu stated.
" No but I'm training you to be a dragon," Lucy sat up. " Natsu when we kissed I saw a dragon in your eyes and it was the most beautiful creature I've ever seen!" Lucy couldn't stop smiling as Natsu wiped her eyes.
" So will you kiss me again?" Natsu moved closer to Lucy while she pushed him away.
" Nope!" Lucy mused as she watched Natsu jaw drop.
" Lucy we probably could get the damn dragon to reveal himself if we kiss again you weirdo!" Natsu sulked as Lucy tapped him on the nose.
" We still have a bet going on so no kissing until the end of the month! And plus you are the only one who can make the Dragon reveal himself idiot! We are going to train your powers and find the dragon in you," Lucy determinedly said.
" How are we going to do that?" Natsu asked. " And I guess I'm going to have try harder, to get Lucy to be my girlfriend.." Natsu muttered
" We are going to find the birthplace of the one-magic," Lucy spoke. Natsu was confused at that point.
" Lucy that's impossible you weirdo!" Natsu stated. " Isn't the one-magic supposed to be love?"
" Yeah we are going to find the place where love began and we are going to bring our nakama!" Lucy stated. " When we find the one-magic, we can also find where Igneel, Grandine and Metallicana are!"
" Where do you suppose we start?" Natsu felt strangely pessimistic.
" I suppose we start in Levy McGarden's library, the guilds archives and with my celestial key Crux! But for tonight I would actually like to go to sleep," Lucy said as she fell into Natsu's chest. Could it be possible? After all these years that he might be reunited with his Father again? Natsu knew his hope was wavering and the bet was the last thing on his mind, when he saw Lucy comfortably asleep in his arms but in that moment he knew that this time anything was possible.
He was going to become a dragon for Lucy and himself, he was going to protect her from now on. He was never going to leave her, as he looked at Michelle, he nodded.
" Michelle I'm never going to leave her alone," The doll did the strangest thing and nodded.
"Michelle? Imitchiya?" Natsu said as he rubbed his eyes as Natsu sweared he thought the doll nod, the next thing he knew was Michelle was standing before him. Michelle was human again!
" It's Imitatia you IDIOT and no please call me Michelle and don't wake Lucy up yet, I'm using the last of my magical energy to tell you something about the infinity clock, Lucy was a user of the infinity clock so she now has a massive amount of magical energy stored within her, she'll be able to easily find the one-magic herself but I'm afraid that Lucy could be killed in that process, as the Balam Alliance knows about the Key of the starry sky and the clock, I also know that Grimoire Heart is being led by Zeref and that Tautorous is being led by an even more frightening demon and there is even more frightening person in the background controlling the two remaining dark guilds. If you choose to go on this mission, you'll all be dragged away into a scarier place and Lucy will always be at risk, I just want you to clearly think about Lucy's safety if she chooses to go after the one-magic, as she'll find her Mother there but not how she remembers her... my time is running out and I can't explain to you what really happened to Layla Heartfelia but please talk to Crux, he'll be able to answer all of your questions, and also I'll disappear for twenty four hours tomorrow as I'm going to become human again, so I can help you but I have to sacrifice the truth about Layla Heartfelia to be able to do this, goodbye Natsu," Michelle bursted into stars and flowers.
ADMIT IT YOU ARE SHOCKED AND WANT TO READ ON :D
HAHA I bet you weren't expecting that killer epic size mystery were you :D Yes folks there is an actual plot! xD but don't worry folks ;) the bet is still going on and there'll be hilarious moments up a head! But no Gildarts, Laki, Ultear, Meredy and MICHELLE are on the scene :D And I think it's fair to say 1 for the boys cos Natsu kissed Lucy.
