Ok so just a heads up I'll be posting about once a week. Maybe a bit more than that but definitaly at least once a week! I already have a few rough drafts wrote up so there will definitaly be more of these in the future! This chapter starts on episode 19, when everyone body switched. Enjoy! 3
I stop to admire the guild hall. I must say Fairy Tail was quite beautiful in its own way. Inside is loud and rambunctious. I took a deep breath and stepped in. There was a huge commotion going on between a group of people on one side of the room. I glanced between them all as I made my way towards the bar in the back. Behind the bar was a sweet looking woman with white hair. We made eye contact and her smile seemed to reach her eyes.
"Hi! Welcome to Fairy Tail! May I help you?"
I turned slightly towards the group of people. "Yes but before we get into that, may I ask why they are so flustered and upset?"
The woman's smile fell slightly. "Well it seems a spell has caused all of them to switch bodies."
I deadpanned. A small old man sitting on the bar next to them speaks up. "Yes and they have less than 30 minutes to reverse it."
The old man's words caught the eye of a guy who's orange hair reminded me of a lions mane. "Hey are you a mage?! COULD YOU REVERSE THE SPELL!"
I jerked back surprised as another guy with black hair punches the top of his head. "Natsu you jerk back off her!" The guy leans foreword towards me. "Though if you DO know how, this would be great!"
I began shaking my head back and forth quickly. "N-no sorry I use shadow magic. I do study other magic so... maybe I could find something out?"
The guy deflated but nodded nonetheless. The doors opened to show a small girl with blue hair being accompanied by two guys. Judging by the reactions of the others they were excited to see her.
"LEVY! OH THANK GOD CAN YOU HELP US!"
As they bombarded the small blunette, I sat down at the far end of the bar and opened up a few of my books. The old man from before stepped up. "Study magic of all kinds huh?"
I nodded my head as I leafed through my first book. "Mhmm. I plan on using these notes to write all about the different magic I've come across. Sortof an info book."
The man stroked at his facial hair as he nodded slowly. Before he could speak again the Blue haired girl spoke loudly claiming to know what to do. I glanced over as the man rushed back over. After a few moments of her speaking some odd language a glowing light formed. When it finally came to an end everyone was looking down at themselves.
"I'm back to normal!" A busty blonde woman shouts.
"Same here" the black haired man responds. As I'm putting my books back in my bag I notice everyone else shouting about they not being in the right bodies.
At looking towards the white haired woman I see she is looking down at herself in joy and the old man is looking from himself and the white haired woman in shock. A large white haired man begins to panic as a woman in a bikini top began shouting something about not being a man. I quickly realize while 2 of them are normal, the others are still switched. Along with new people being body shifted. I glance down at myself.
"Checking to make sure you're you, probably a good idea. What a first day here if you were to switch bodies."
I looked up and seen 2 older men. One was leisurely leaning against the table next to the other who was sitting at the table smoking. "Names Macao, that there is Wakaba. Come to join in on the fun?" He motions towards the frantic group.
I momentarily smile, they really do seem fun, even in a panic. I frown as I realize the time is almost up. "What do they do if they don't make it?"
"Dunno."
Suddenly a timer goes off and a flash of light just as before. I quickly look back up and everyone is looking down at themselves, some even touching at their stomach and chest. In an instant everyone is screaming and cheering "WE'RE BACK TO NORMAL!"
I laughed as everyone whoops and cheers. Suddenly every eye, including mine, is on the old man.
"GRAMPS YOU SAID IT WOULD BE PERMANENT!"
"Yeah what gives?!"
The old man let's out a lighthearted laugh. "I was just messing with ya! I put the job on the board to see which of my brats would fall pray!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone stood fuming as the old man ran off upstairs and into a room, laughing the entire way.
Once everyone settles back down I slowly make my way towards the white haired woman again.
"Oh hello! In all this mess I almost forgot! My name is Mira! What is it you needed?"
I began to blush and twiddle my thumbs. "I uh... I-I was told to come here and say I completed the job Mystogen took before he arrived and asked that I be rewarded."
Everyone in the guild got quiet and looked my way. I felt my face grow even more hot.
"Did you say Mystogen?"
I nodded my head.
"What happened?"
I gave the woman(technically the whole guild since they were intensely listening to me) the shortest version I could manage. When I looked up everyone had their jaws dropped.
"I... I know I shouldn't have imposed but Mystogen insisted I come here and explain and I just.. I.."
The whole guild erupted again in cheers. Jeez these guys sure could get revved up! I looked around as people began slapping my back and cheering for me. Once everyone settled down Mira laughed. "Wow an S class job done alone? Your guild must be proud!"
I blushed a little again. "I don't actually belong to a guild.."
Suddenly a pink haired guy jumped up in front of me. "YOU GOTTA JOIN FAIRY TAIL THEN! THEN WE CAN FIGHT AND SEE WHO'S STRONGER"
I jerked away as my eyes widened. The blonde came up and knocked him on the head. "You idiot you're freaking her out! Think you could give her a second to think before you start picking a fight!"
I took a step back. "You'd actually want.. me? In your guild?"
The large white haired man jumped up. "A REAL MAN LIKE YOU WOULD BE PERFECT IN THIS GUILD!"
I raised my eyebrows and laughed. "But I'm-"
Mira cut in. "He knows, he says anyone who's powerful is manly"
I laughed a little and began to look around at everyone. They all seemed so nice and warm. I bit my lip. Would I really join? I never thought about it when I made my way up here. My studies always call for me to travel around. Though in all honesty I always felt envious of other guilds I've seen in my travels. So many treated each other like family. Something I haven't felt in a long time. I sighed deeply. "I mean why not?"
Everyone began to cheer again and Mira grabbed a stamp and colors from under the bar. "What color and where?"
I furrowed my brows in thought. I pointed to the spot above my collar bone. "Here in red please " Mira stamped me and I smiled at the feeling of magic as it set in.
"SHUT UP YOU BRATS" I jumped and looked up to See the old man. "IT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT WE NOW HAVE A NEW MEMBER! YOU! COME UP HERE!"
I gulped and made my way up the stairs. The whole guild was silent. "State your name and your magic"
I looked out at every one and did my best to speak clearly. "My name is Antoinette, I go by Toni. I use shadow magic"
"Well Toni... WELCOME TO FAIRY TAIL! NOW LET'S CELEBRATE!"
Everyone cheered and by the time I made it down the stairs beer was being passed around. I walked back over to the bar. "What would you like to drink?"
I thought for a moment "Please tell me you have chocolate milkshakes?"
Mira nodded and made her way to prepare my treat. While I waited I looked around the guild. They all were cheering and conversing and all seeming to have a fun time. Mira returned with my milkshake and told me it was on the house. I smiled at her and took a sip. Delicious. I felt someone sit next to me. "Hi I'm Lucy!"
I smiled. "Toni! So what magic do you use?"
Lucy held up a set of keys. "I'm a celestial wizard!"
I jumped a little in excitement and turned my body towards her. "Those are golden keys! You have zodiac keys?"
"Yeah! I have 4 right now! You know a lot about celestial wizards?"
I shook my head. "I've read quite a bit about celestial spirits but never got the chance to meet a celestial wizard! How about one day I interview you for information to add to my collection of magic abilities!"
Lucy looked at me curiously. "Collection of magic abilities?"
Once realizing I was an author we both got into detail about my book and all I've obtained so far. I was half way through drinking my milkshake when a red haired woman walked up.
"Lucy, why don't you introduce us."
Lucy laughed. "I'm sorry Erza! I got distracted. Hey Toni let me introduce you to everyone!"
We walked around as she introduced me to Elfman, Cana, Levy, Jet and Droy. We then made our way back to a large table that held most of the people who were involved in the body switching fiasco.
"And this is team Natsu! That's Erza, Gray, Loke, Natsu and Happy!"
Everyone greeted me kindly, except Natsu. He instead stood up.
Lucy POV
"OK NOW IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!" I facepalmed at Natsu. How rude can he be?! Before anyone had the chance to react, Toni lunged herself at Happy.
"OH MY GOODNESS! You actually talked! Are you still a cat? Like do you enjoy pets?"
Everyone sweat dropped as the shadow mage gushed over Happy, who was loving the shower of affection. She was scratching behind his ears and cooing at how adorable he was. Natsu turned around to them. "HEY!"
Before Natsu could continue, Toni placed her hand on Natsu's face. "Dormio.."
She didn't even look back as Natsu fell over, a snot bubble forming as he snored away. I squeaked in shock. Toni now had one of her books out and was quickly writing as Happy told her how he came to be here with everyone.
Grey shifted towards Happy and Toni. "Uhh Toni? What did you do to Natsu?"
Toni looked over at us. "I put him to sleep. No worries he'll wake up! Just a simple spell I use, no one ever stays asleep more than 2 hours."
Grey nodded, seeming to be ok with that answer. I wasn't though. "Yeah but why sleep?"
Toni picked one of her books out of her bag and began to do a rough sketch, happy noticed and did his best fighting pose. "I really don't want to hurt anyone, so I just put him to sleep! Besides, as a person who studies all types of magic, I would be an idiot not to study this little cutie!"
Happy again beamed before continuing his pose.
I furrowed my brows, "I thought you said you do shadow magic?"
She nodded her head slowly, never once slowing as she sketched. "Yes but I know a few speech and enchantment spells that help me in combat. Dormio is a sleep spell I use. I also have ones to cause paralysis and numbing."
Loke leaned foreword, clearly in playboy mode. "So where'd a pretty lady like you learn magic like that?"
Either she didn't notice the flirtatious tone or didn't take heed of it. "Oh I've met lots of mages in my travels. An old man I met insisted I learn a few of these spells in order to help me, in reality they did. Nothing makes a criminal speak faster than paralysis."
I couldn't help but let out a laugh when Loke took a nervous step back.
I always feel nervous about a new story. I really hope you guys enjoy! Let me know how this is panning out so far!
