"Are you sure you're ready for your first mission?"
"Po-pa(mother), I'll be fine!"
"I know, just stay close to Ryu and Buzz," Kaida pulled her son close, "And try not to fight, and whatever you do, don't knock out the power"
"I know," Will said, "Wait, what about the power?"
"Don't knock it out"
"Why not"
"Did I never tell you the story of the power failure?"
Will shook his head, "I don't think so"
"It was a long time ago, back when your mother and I were no older than Ryu, Natsu and Gray got into a huge fight in the middle of Magnolia, and Erza was out on a solo mission. With no one to stop it, the fight got out of hand and destroyed half the town. Natsu and Gray completely destroyed the power lines and the entire town of Magnolia lost power for a month"
"What's so bad about that?"
Flashback:
"I can't believe you too!"
"Mira, we said we were sorry!" Natsu whined.
"Sorry isn't going to cut it! We need power for the guild!" Mira shouted.
"Well it's already been done so there is nothing we can do about it" Gray pointed out.
Mira grinned evilly, "There is always something we can do"
"I don't like that look in her eye" Gray whispered to Natsu.
"Me neither" Natsu whispered back.
"LAXUS!"
"Geez, Mira, there is no need to yell! I'm a dragon slayer, remember!"
"There is no time for that!" Mira shouted, "The food is going to melt because these two destroyed the power lines!"
"What do you expect me to do about it?"
A little while later:
"You expect me to be a power generator because these two destroyed half the town?!"
"Don't worry, these two will be punished as well"
"But it's not my problem! Besides, I can't keep this up until they fix the power!" Laxus argued.
"Levy will 'Solid Script' you some lightning if you need it" Mira promised.
"I need sleep though!" Laxus shouted.
"Hmm,"
That night:
"You expect me to stand here all night, giving off ice cubes to keep the food cold!" Gray asked.
"It was your fault that we lost power"
"Natsu destroyed more!"
"I don't care who destroyed more, you're both at fault!"
"Then how come he's not being punished?!"
"Oh, he is," Mira turned to Natsu, "You will stay here all night letting out just enough fire to allow Gray to see what he is doing"
"You want me to be a human flashlight?!" Natsu asked.
"Yes!" Mira glared at them, "And if you damage anything, I will get Erza to punish you for a month as well as Master's punishment!" Natsu and Gray shuttered.
"That kept up for a month, with Laxus and Levy powering the guildhall during the day, and Gray and Natsu during the night. By the time the power had finally been fixed they all collapsed and slept for a week. Once they woke up, Laxus beat Natsu and Gray up so hard that they were out of commission for weeks," Kaida explained, "Anyways, that's the first, and last, time any member of Fairy Tail knocked out the power"
"Aunt Mira really made them do that for a whole month?" Will asked, shocked.
Kaida nodded, "Yep, and I suggest you try and avoid knocking out the power so you don't have to do that as well"
Will quickly nodded, "Knocking the power out is bad!"
Kaida smiled, "Good boy"

Authors Note:
So I got this idea today, since the power has been going on and off and I was thinking how Fairy Tail might deal with that, so there it was!
