A/N: Welcome to Day 5, everyone! Thanks so much for all the lovely reviews!

Without further ado, I give you…

Day 5: Enabler

"No," Mest groaned. "No, no, no. C'mon… This just isn't even right!"

Lucy blinked owlishly. "What isn't right?" she laughed. "It's my birthday, and my friends sent me presents."

"What are you even doing here, Doranbolt?" Lahar yawned, taking a slow sip of his coffee before leaning back in his chair. He carefully eyed the Direct Line mage, then let out a heavy sigh when he received only a shrug in response. Luckily, Lucy walked up behind him and started lightly running her fingers through his hair, which was still down since he'd only just woken up, so he was much less inclined to give his friend the third degree.

"Nothing to do until the Council's re-formed… Again. It's almost ready though." Mest shook his head, then gave Lahar a good once-over. "You doin' alright?"

He nodded. "I am fine."

When Mest sighed and turned to the blunette Sky Maiden that he'd brought along, an expectant gleam in his eyes, she smiled. "He's much better, now that he's not pushing himself too much," Wendy answered. She paused and frowned at Lahar. "You do remember that his name is really Mest, right?"

A pained, miniscule smile pulled at Lahar's lips. "Yes, Wendy. I remember." Of course he remembered Doranbolt getting his memories back when Fairy Tail disbanded nearly a year prior, after they defeated Tartarus. But, the man that had been his partner, who had really been an undercover agent from Fairy Tail, would always be Doranbolt to him. It didn't matter what his real name was. Yes, their friendship had turned sour for a time, with Lahar healing from the explosion at the Council and feeling bitter over the betrayal he'd felt, but they were back to normal now. It just didn't feel right, calling his best friend anything else.

"Back to the original question," Lucy said slowly. "What's so bad about my birthday presents?"

Mest sighed and looked at the pile of movies in front of the blonde. During the four years that she and Lahar had been together, he'd grown closer to her. So, he found out that Lucy was actually quite the videophile, along with being overly attached to books. She refused to watch a movie if it was an adaptation from a book, unless she'd read the original first. Still, she had a nearly unhealthy obsession with referencing movies, and doing it so seamlessly that people occasionally mistook it for her own words. "Who sent them?" he asked weakly.

Lucy's head tilted to the side, and she looked over Lahar's shoulder at the list she'd made so she could send out all of her thank you cards later on. "Natsu and Happy, Gray and Juvia, Gajeel and Pantherlily, Wendy and Carla, Laxus, Freed, Bickslow, Master Makarov, Max, Sting and Rogue, Yukino, Minerva, Erza, Kagura, Jellal… Huh… Cobra and Midnight sent a couple… That's weird…" She smiled fondly at the list. "Even Gildarts and Cana…"

"Which would explain the 'Girls Gone Wild' box set," Lahar sighed. He looked over the titles of the lacrima movies that were piled up on the table. "Thirty or so, not counting that."

Mest whimpered. "You haven't seen any of them, have you…"

"Nope," Lucy answered with a wide grin. "So, what's so wrong with movies?"

"You…" He would never forget the wholly scarring experience of unlocking the front door to Lahar and Lucy's home, and hearing her screaming, "Oh Captain, my Captain! Fuck, I'm gonna cum!" from the bedroom. Apparently, her movie references didn't stick to just normal conversation. It was something he really didn't need to know, to be honest. "I can't watch Dead Poets' Society anymore because of you…"

Wendy giggled. "Mest can hardly look at Robin Williams at all without needing to leave the room and calm himself down."

He nodded gravely. "It's… It's so wrong…" Then again, Lucy's habit had apparently rubbed off on Lahar. At least, from what he'd heard when they forgot to put up runes while having sex in a broom closet at Akane. The fact that he'd heard his best friend moaning, "Let's put a smile on that face." It killed a very large part of him to try watching Heath Ledger in anything. "Or Dark Knight... Hell, even A Knight's Tale makes my skin crawl!"

"Aw, Dory," Lucy crooned. "It's okay…"

"You know what you need to do," Lahar chuckled. "Don't you, Doranbolt?"

When Mest shook his head, his brow furrowed, he sharply turned his head to gape at the nearly-legal blunette next to him when her mouth opened and a song burst past her lips.

Just keep swimming,
Just keep swimming.

He glared at Lahar then. "You're… Stop tainting my dear, sweet Wendy with your filth!"

"Since when is Finding Nemo, filth?" Lucy asked incredulously. "Lilo and Stitch, maybe. But that? Definitely not."

"What movies did you get?" Wendy asked curiously.

Lucy smiled down at the blossoming young woman. "Happy Feet from Natsu and Happy. Frozen and Swimfan from Gray and Juvia. Iron Man and Spy from Gajeel and Lily. The first three seasons of House from you and Carla. Thor from Laxus. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from Freed. Teeth and Requiem for a Dream from Bickslow. Gone With the Wind and Anchors Away from Master Makarov. Twister from Max."

"Rogue and Guildmaster Sting sent the newest Poltergeist and Hitch. Yukino sent Zodiac, rather clever," Lahar continued for her, his eyes sliding closed as her nails dragged across his scalp. "Minerva sent a Shirley Temple collection… Mmm, that feels wonderful…"

Lucy giggled. "Blind Side and The Notebook from Erza..."

Mest looked down at the pile of movies. "Wait… You said Cobra and Midnight?!"

Lucy laughed. "Yeah, they're actually pretty sweet. Cobra and Midnight come to the guild to visit a lot, actually."

"Nightmare on Elm Street," Mest sighed. "All eight of them?! Okay, that's definitely Midnight."

Lahar nodded slowly. "Yes. He found out she hasn't seen any of them, and has informed Lucy at length that she has to watch them in order. Meaning she isn't allowed to watch the remake until she watches one through six, and New Nightmare."

"I… don't know how to feel about that," Mest said uncertainly. "And… Cobra?"

"The Saw series," Lucy answered. "Ace Ventura, one and two. Jailbait Babysitter... And…" She paused and giggled. "King Cobra."

"Enablers!" Mest bellowed. "All of them! You… I'll never be able to watch any of these!"

"Did you want to watch Jailbait Babysitter?" Wendy laughed, watching as Mest blanched.

"Dory loves jailbait," Lucy snickered. "Aren't you twice her age?"

"I'm seventeen," Wendy whined. "He says we're waiting until I'm eighteen to even go on a date."

Lahar shook his head when his friend's head dropped to the table while Wendy laughed and gently rubbed his hunched shoulders. "I see a movie marathon in our future," he whispered while looking up at his wife. The twinkle of happiness in her eyes, how they lit up at just the mention of spending time at home, cuddled up together on their couch just made everything in him come to a crashing halt. Even after four years, and almost losing one another during the war with Tartarus, she still took his breath away. "Or several."

Lucy wrapped her arms around Lahar from behind, squeezing him once he was trapped in her embrace. She missed the way Mest's eyes bugged out of his head while a look of true horror passed over his face, or how Wendy started blushing. She definitely didn't see the content smile on her husband's face while her breasts enveloped his head. Then again, even if she had, she most likely wouldn't have cared anyway. "I love you, sweetheart," she sighed, kissing the top of his head.

"Eh muvv oo," he mumbled in return. The lack of oxygen was something he could deal with. If anything, this was how he wanted to die.

"Lucy, I don't think he can breathe," Mest said weakly.

"He's fine. Aren't you, Lahar?"

A thumbs up was the only response the other three mages around the table received. Yes, Lahar was more than fine.

And that's all for Day 5. I know, I know. This was a whole lot shorter than the others, but there was only so much I could do with where my brain went. I'm writing these in about a day, so… There's that. Lol. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoyed it. Lots of movies in this one. I just couldn't help myself, really.

Also, I'd like to congratulate:

You guys get Gem points for the correct answer concerning Lahar's last name in the last chapter. This is what I received from Celebwen Telecontar:
The reason you gave Lahar the last name Rainier is because Mt Rainier is downright infamous for its lahars. Seattle is built on an old lahar, which is worrying for the city. A lahar like the one which laid down Seattle's foundation could come entirely without warning, and kill hundreds, if not thousands.

That is exactly right. A lahar is a destructive mudflow on the slopes of a volcano… So, that's where I went with it.

Hopefully, it won't be a late submission, but I should see you all tomorrow for...

Day 6: Order

SO! Review, Follow, Favorite! I love you, guys!
