Epilogue: The Article

A week has passed since the defeat of the vampire bats. Things were finally getting back to its normal self at Fairy Tail's guild hall. The busy hall all quieted though, when a certain blonde celestial wizard opened the front doors and yelled,

"Guys! Look at this!" In her hand was the latest edition of Sorcerer's Weekly.

Natsu, who was standing next to Gray in the middle of the hall, looked at her.

"What? It's only a new volume of Sorcerer's Weekly. I thought it was something more interesting than that..." he complained.

"You won't be complaining when you read this." Lucy walked to him at a quick pace. When she got close enough to him, she opened the magazine to a page that read,

'Special Exclusive: Fairy Tail's Secret Couple'

"What the-" the two mages leaned closer to the magazine to read the entire article.

"We all know the infamous guild Fairy Tail. They have immense power and they tend to go a little overboard on their requests sometimes, creating chaos for that fated place. But who would've thought that the greatest rivals in this guild was actually a couple? Yes people, Fire Dragon Slayer Natsu Dragneel and Ice Make Mage Gray Fullbuster are a couple in a true romantic relationship. All around Magnolia, we see these two people fighting each other in a heated battle that only true friends could have. But that was just an illusion to fool all of us.

I had the honor of meeting the Queen of the Fairies, also known as Titania, Fairy Tail's Erza Scarlet. She told me about a recent event that we didn't really know about. The next generation of the vampire bats came just last week for revenge. They for some reason, took the Fire Dragon Slayer as a 'sacrifice' for the lord of the vampire bats. What had my interest though, was what happened during the rescue mission. Erza-san was so kind and she gave us some very interesting pictures of some of the things I'm talking about.'

On the next page, the article continued, and various pictures of Natsu and Gray's cute moments were displayed here.

'The couple seems to do a lot of intimate things in secret, but their love for each other is true from what I can see... Fangirls, now is the chance for you all to get your fanservice! This is your yaoi/yuri reporter for Sorcerer's Weekly, Eileen Jackson. Catch you guys later!'

Natsu and Gray stared at the magazine in total shock. In slow robotic movements, they turned to the red haired mage.

"Why Erza?! What did we do to deserve this?!" Natsu asked, pointing to the article very furiously.

"Natsu! That's MY Sorcerer's Weekly volume! Stop trying to destroy it!" Lucy grabbed it and tried to get her volume back, but failed to do so. She was going against a dude that could burn her to a crisp if he wanted to, so of course she gave up.

"What did you do to deserve this, you ask? Well, you did sneak out of the team to 'take a walk...' And I specifically said that you all stay there until I found a good request for us to take on, but you all left. So I decided I would make you guys the center of attention while I could. This is your punishment for not obeying my orders and going on a date when I told you guys you couldn't date each other for awhile."

"EHHH! Why this though, Erza?" Gray was now pointing to the article, poking it very furiously.

"BOTH OF YOU DROP MY FUCKING ARTICLE THIS INSTANT!" Lucy yelled.

"Eep! Y-yes, Lucy!" The two boys dropped the article immediately so they could live another day. Lucy may be kind hearted, but when she's mad, she could be just as scary as Erza.

"Bad news guys! Reporters and a whole bunch of fangirls are outside the guild hall. They're asking for Natsu, Gray, and Lucy!" Loke was now inside the hall, looking exhausted and beat up.

"Oh dear, Loke! What happened to you?" Mira Jane went to the orange haired mage with a first aid kit.

"I was taking a walk and I just got back. All of the reporters and fangirls were already there. I'm surprised you guys didn't hear them... Anyways, those people didn't stop when I tried to get them to leave, and when they I told them that they weren't here, they slapped me, or they just trampled me over." Loke explained.

"Oh yeah! We got some soundproof items in the guild when we did some renovations on it, didn't we?" Mira Jane thought about it after she finished administering first aid to Loke.

"So basically we're stuck here for eternity or we could go face the music out there..." The blonde said to herself.

"Well, lets just get this over with. The sooner this is done, the better." Natsu suggested.

"Yeah... Let's go, Natsu." The raven grabbed onto his boyfriend's hand and they walked out the doors. Cameras and loud screams bombarded them.

"Look! It's Natsu and Gray!"

"They're sooo cute together~!

"Natsu, did you confess your feelings for Gray, or did Gray do it?"

"Natsu! Gray! Can I have your autograph?"

"Kyaa~ They're totally meant for each other! I mean, does anybody know people that have opposite everything and are in love with each other like this?"

"Guys, can you guys hug each other?"

"Forget hugging! I wanna see them kiss!"

"Yeah! KISS, KISS, KISS~!" various fangirls chanted, until a reporter saw Lucy.

"Look! It's Lucy Heartfilia!"

"Lucy, is it true that you were once the heir to the Heartfilia family?"

"Lucy, did your dad approve of being a wizard?"

"How many Golden Gate keys do you have?"

"How do you take care of your skin? It's so soft!"

All these questions were making them tongue-tied and dizzy. They looked at each other and nodded.

"RUN!" the trio high tailed it away from the mob of people as fast as they could.

"LOOK! They're getting away!"

"Let's get them!"

The mob ran after the trio, and the guild hall was finally peaceful.

"That's your punishment for not letting me help you get stronger. Who knows, maybe one day we will meet a person much stronger than us, and we must get prepared for that if it ever happens." The red haired mage crossed her arms and leaned against the ledge of the door, watching the beautiful scenery of her teammates getting chased by reporters and fangirls.

"But, I guess that can wait." Erza gave a light chuckle as her teammate's yells echoed through Magnolia as the sun slowly set.

Finally! My story is complete!

Ok, so if people didn't get it, Lucy was punished by Erza as well. The secret of being a Heartfilia was her punishment, so that's why reporters were there.

I will now start some oneshots, hopefully you will all enjoy them.
