Petal Meadows (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses!" A voice exclaimed as they looked to see two Toads fixing a bridge. "You may have to wait a few days."

"What for?" Mario asked.

"Well you see, that blasted dragon just had to go ahead and destroy this bridge. I don't know why he did, but...who knows why. I'm amazed that he just destroyed this bridge and went off without destroying Petalburg. It might take even weeks to repair this." The Toad replied.

"Isn't there a way around it?" Erza asked.

"Good luck finding another bridge since this is the only bridge that you can cross." He replied. "I mean, you can go swimming in the river just to get across, but if you value your own butt, I'd prefer waiting...or just go up to the mountains and come down to the other side, good luck trying not to get eaten by the dragon."

"EATEN?!" Luigi screamed.

"I can make another bridge." Gray said, walking to the river bank.

"Good luck, you don't even have any tools."

"ICE MAKE: BRIDGE!" He yelled, as an icy bridge formed in front of their very eyes, as both Toads jawdropped.

"B-but...I...I...HOW?!" The one Toad exclaimed.

"Who are you guys?!"

"Fairy Tail." Natsu chuckled as they made their way across the bridge, but Gray stopped in the middle and looked behind him.

"Hmm..." Gray looked at a tree before heading off to catch up with the others.

Behind the tree, Juvia was right there. "That was so cool! My darling Gray is an expert bridge builder!"

"Pfft, you call that bridge building?" Gajeel asked.

"Couldn't we just reveal ourselves to them instead of just spying on them?" Levy asked.

"Where's the fun in that?" Gajeel chuckled.

Lily looked at Levy and shrugged. "Oh well." He said as they made their way on the icy bridge, while the two Toads were looking in a book.

"Fairy...fairy..." One of them looked around. "I'm not seeing any sort of fairy that has a tail!"

"Keep looking! It's got to be in here somewhere!"

Petalburg (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

A Koopa spotted the group. "Hey! Welcome to Petalburg...i'm amazed the dragon didn't see you!"

"Actually, we saw the dragon fly over us." Wendy replied.

"And it didn't even notice you?! Wow, you guys are lucky!"

"Lucky? That dragon is the one that's lucky, I would've destroyed that thing like it was nothing!" Natsu chuckled.

The Koopa blinked. "Um...okay."

"We're wondering if the residents here are alright." Erza said.

"Yeah, we're fine...though it's just a matter of time before that dragon decides to burn this place to the ground!" The Koopa sighed.

"Talking about this dragon makes me want to destroy it." Natsu smirked and then turned around. "Come on, Happy! We're going to take down that dragon!"

"Waaaait a minute!" The Koopa exclaimed. "If you want to go beat that dragon, you gotta go talk to Mayor Kroop."

"Seriously?" Gray asked.

"Yeah, he lives in this red house. You can't miss it." He said.

"Alright, thanks." Natsu nodded.

"Oh, and uh...we're looking for the Crystal Star." Lucy told him.

"Crystal Star, huh?" The Koopa folded his arms. "Last I heard of it, it's at the castle too. Though, I don't know why you want to...that dragon has claimed many lives who braved the castle!"

"Blah blah blah, the dragon has never even MET us." Natsu said as they started walking away.

"May the Mushroom Gods have mercy on 'em..." The Koopa muttered.

"I'm starting to have second thoughts on this Crystal Star. Couldn't it be in a grassy field and not in some castle that a dragon lives in?" Luigi asked.

"Oh, now that'd be boring." Natsu said.

"Seriously, are you guys suicidal?! Think about it...there's a Crystal Star in a castle with a very dangerous dragon! I'd rather be having a picnic than going in a castle, thank you very much!"

"We got two dragon slayers with us, we're fine." Lucy said.

"Dragon WHAT now?" Luigi asked.

"Dragon Slayers. Natsu and Wendy are the Dragon Slayers." Lucy told him.

"If we have two Dragon Slayers, then there's nothing to worry about, bro!" Mario grinned.

"I'll believe it when I see it..." Luigi muttered as they spotted the red house. "This must be the mayor's house." He said and then they walked up and Erza knocked on the door.

"Hello?" She called out as she knocked on the door again, a little bit harder than last time when suddenly the door opened. "Oh...it was unlocked."

"Or you just busted the hinges." Gray said. "I know Natsu would've done that."

"Hey!" He growled, glaring at Gray as they walked in.

"Um...I think it's kind of rude to just walk in uninvi-...and they're already inside." Wendy said.

Carla shrugged. "What are you gonna do about it, I suppose." She said as they walked in.

"Mayor Kroop, hello?" Natsu called out.

"Eh?" An old Koopa turned around and looked at all of them. "Who are you people? Are you thieves? Take my shell, I'll miss it most of all, in fact, take my wife's picture too!"

"Whoa whoa whoa, we're not thieves!" Mario told him.

"You're not? You kids these days need to learn how to speak up!"

We didn't even say anything yet... Gray thought.

"We're looking for the Crystal Star." Mario replied. "And we found out that it's at the dragon's castle."

"Indeed, it is, boy!" He said. "Hooktail is guarding it! If you value your lives, I recommend not going there!"

"Hooktail? The dragon's name is Hooktail?" Natsu asked.

"Of course."

"We're going to take down that dragon anyway." Natsu said.

"Well, if you're insistent, I'm not going to stop you. However, you will need the sun stone and the moon stone from Shhwonk Fortress...only problem is that there's a monster that lurks there."

"We can take care of this monster no sweat." Natsu grinned.

"Very well...i'm not stopping you. By the way...what are your names?" He asked as they told him their names. "Murphy, Louise, Natu, Gallade, Ezra, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, Charlotte and...Goombrielle?"

"Louise?" Luigi blinked. "I think I prefer Green 'Stache..." He muttered.

"No no no, you got our names wrong! ...Most of them, but that's not our names!" Natsu exclaimed.

"If you switch the Z and R around..." Erza said.

"Those are some nice names...now go off and defeat that monster in Shhwonk Fortress!" Kroop ordered as they nodded and they walked out the door.

"Who the heck names their child Gallade? It sounds like it belongs to some creature." Gray said.

"Let's not forget about Natu." Natsu said.

"I'm just glad he didn't get my name wrong." Happy sighed.

"Same here." Wendy said as Lucy nodded as they made their way to the gate.

"Whoa, you want to go to Shhwonk Fortress? Out of the question!" The Koopa gatekeeper exclaimed.

"The mayor gave us permission." Mario told him.

"Oh...in that case, go right on ahead." The Koopa opened the gate. "Go right on through." He said.

"Right." Natsu nodded.

"Um...excuse me." A voice said as they turned their heads to see a Koopa walking over to them. "Um...my name is...Koops and...um...I...uh...oh never mind! Just forget it!" He exclaimed and ran off.

"Well that was weird." Gray said.

"I've never seen a shy Koopa." Luigi said. "That's a first."

Mario shrugged. "Well, never mind... lets-a go!" He exclaimed as they all took off to Shhwonk Fortress.
====================================================================================================

Off to Shhwonk Fortress...what could possibly go wrong considering Team Natsu is known for destruction? *laughing*
