Same Day- at the guild (Juvia POV)

Juvia paces back and forth watching as the guest that will be apart of her wedding file in and she wonders 'Is Juvia dreaming? Is she really getting married to her beloved Gray-sama?' She looks at her left hand and sees the beautiful ring on her left ring finger, 24 karat gold with and an ice diamond, yes an ice diamond made by Gray-sama, and she immediately understands she is not dreaming. She then looks up and sees the women of the guild lining up near Mira the wedding planner, who while perhaps not the easiest to work with, she was the only one she would have gotten as she preferred living to being dead, a mistake that Evergreen almost made. The wedding was postponed two months to allow for Evergreen to recover from her injuries. The reason for them lining up is that Juvia must tell them who will have roles in her wedding and who will not. Juvia prays that she will live long enough afterwards to have her wedding.

"OK Juvia they're ready for you!" Mira called out to Juvia as Juvia looked up and sighed, shuffling over nervously.

"Ummm, J-juvia thanks everyone for coming t-today. Please know that Juvia did not make any of these decisions lightly and that she hopes everyone understands her choices!" Juvia says quickly and quietly hoping that everyone has heard her. They nod their heads in understanding and Juvia takes a deep breath and announces, "Ok Juvia has chosen little Joi-chan (Gajeel and Levy's daughter) as the Flower Girl!" murmurs of agreement pass through the group as this was the obvious choice, "A-a-as Bridesmaids Juvia got to choose four and she has picked Levy-san, Lisanna-san, Wendy-san, and Erza-san." Murmurs of surprise run through the group as they realize Lucy has not been given a role yet, but little do they know, "A-a-and as my Maid of Honor I have selected Lucy-san!" The group was quiet for a moment before applauding the decision and commending Juvia for putting aside her prior belief that Lucy was her love-rival at some point. Those not chosen for any role left quietly leaving the six women chosen to hold roles in the wedding. "Ok, everyone I thank for your cooperation in Juvia's wedding! Juvia hopes that she is not a bride-zilla and that we can all get along! You will know the one that you are partnered up with shortly, we just need Gray-sama and his choices." As Juvia finished speaking her beloved Gray-sama and his choices entered.

"Hey Juvia you're all set I see. Alright so do you want to tell them or me?" he asked as he walked up to her and placed a chaste kiss on Juvia's lips. Realizing that this was in fact happening, Juvia promptly fell to the floor unconscious.

(POV Change to Gray)

"… Ok so I guess I'm telling you guys the pairings then. Gajeel you get Levy, Elfman has Lisanna, Jellal has Erza, and Wendy you get our newest member and a friend of mine…" I paused as Doranbolt appeared out of nowhere.

"Doran-san! You did quit the council like you said you would!" Wendy yelled as she ran and hug her 'friend' (totally her boyfriend) as we all cheered for his sudden arrival.

"Yes, as promised I am here to stay this time." He said as he kissed her on the lips earning a collective aww and promises to neuter him if did anything to her that was unwanted.

"Ok, ok settle down. Lucy as maid of honor you get the best man: Loke!" I said a bright light appeared and vanished as quickly as it came, leaving Loke in its wake. "Should be easy enough for everyone right?" the group nodded their assent as Juvia stirred and stood.

"Wait! Where is Gajeel-kun Gray-sama? He is not here!" I looked around and realized she was right. Where was that idiot? Juvia would kill him if he missed even a minute of rehearsal time and then be depressed about killing, therefore killing our sex lives! …Ok so Juvia's not the only one crazy with love and lust for the other but damn! Those legs.. "…Gray-sama!"

I jolted from reverie with a start and looked at her apologetically saying, "Sorry wondering where Iron-breath is. Levy you know where he is?" I asked his wife, which would make sense as she lived with the lugnut, however she shook her head and said, "I haven't seen since I went to go pick up Lucy. Hey Lily! Lily! Come here for a minute!"

At the call of his name Pantherlily flew over and asked, "Yes Levy? And have you seen Gajeel by any chance? I've been looking for him."

"No that's what I wanted to ask you, I haven't seen him since this morning." Uh-oh, I'm seeing my sex life slip away as Juvia begins to look irritated and angry, shit. Angry Juvia was worse than depressed Juvia, last time she got mad we had to move to a new apartment due to the water damage. The sex afterwards was great but I'm feeling for Gajeel right now. NEVER DRAW HER IRE. I learned that the hard way.

As if waiting for his cue, Gajeel walked into the guild nonchalantly as if he did nothing wrong, bastard. "Hey sorry I'm late, had to chase off some guys who were trying to sneak into the planning hub. Don't worry they didn't get shit from there so we're good." I sighed deeply in relief, angry Juvia would not surface today and Gajeel has just saved his life from an early end, for now given his job was given to him by Juvia who specifically stated that if he failed and a fiasco like his wedding happened she would melt his steel off and then skin his flesh right off. I believed and so did he so he took his job as head of security very, very seriously. "So what did I miss?"

"We just finished pairing everyone off and were about to explain the rehearsal schedule to everyone." I said as I walked up and whispered in his ear, "so the intruders give ya that mark on your head?" He nodded and I nodded and said to everyone, "Mira has set up the schedule so I hope that you are all ready for hell!" They all groaned and skulked off to find Mira and get their schedules for hell training with the Demon Mirajane.. Fuck. Us.

(POV Change to an unknown person)

I take a sip from my drink and relax as I watch the people scurry on by doing this and that. I look around and find my man, and immediately stand and begin to follow at a distance, wouldn't want him to see me and book it, now that would foul up everything. I watch as he reads a piece of paper and picks up his pace, now going at light jog, avoiding people here and there when necessary. I groan but pick up my pace as well, damn why did he have to be an exercise freak? We reach a point where there are very few people and not enough cover on the ground, shit does he know I'm following him? I watch as he runs over a man that was roughly his height that I saw coming towards him like a runaway freight train… Ok, he's quite obviously too stupid to notice me so I leap up and onto the roof and out of any chance of being detected.

I followed him until he reaches a house built as if it were a dojo, damn he really does love exercise. I close the distance between us and wait until he opens the door. I sneak in behind and wait till he closes the door, which he never does! The Fuck? Is he really that trusting or does dare people to rob him since he is a mage of Fairy Tail after all. I shrug and pounce as he enters what seems to be the main room of the house and knock him out with one quick strike to the temple. The only I hear him say are "Coming home after a meeting is MAN!" before crumpling under the force of the blow… I was right he is an idiot. I get to work onto phase two of the plan, time for the fun to begin!

(POV Change to Evergreen)

I arrive home to find the door open as usual… I'm going to kill the big lug soon if he keeps this shit up. However my anger immediately ends and is instead replaced by pure and utter horror as I see Elf stapled to the ceiling, badly beaten and barely recognizable, the skin so deformed he looks like a demon instead of an elf. I screech loudly enough for people in Crocus to hear me and fall unconscious in a puddle of Elf's blood.

(POV Change to Gajeel)

"OWWW! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SCREAM?!" I yelled as I was sitting at a table in the guild with master, Laxus, Juvia, Gray, and Mira. Then I process the scream and pale realizing who it was. "Everyone! I think I just heard Evergreen screaming! Wendy, Laxus, Cobra what about you three?" I asked the other dragon slayers who all nodded their heads and rose to their feet. "Fuck, let's go!

A few minutes later

We arrived at his house to find the door open and footprints leading into the house. We rush and immediately recoil at the site before us, Elfman stapled to the roof with Evergreen unconscious below him in a puddle of his blood. 'Damn this is gruesome…wait stapled?!' I look up and see that he is indeed stapled to the roof much like I used to do…

"Gajeel, Laxus get him down from there so I can heal him! Gray move Evergreen, Levy and Juvia find her some suitable clothes to change into." Wendy commanded as we all looked at her for moment, "Quickly!" she ordered. Damn she sure has grown up quite a bit since we first found her, timid and shy no more she truly has grown up.

Moving quickly now, Laxus and me ripped the staples out and as soon he was free Master grew as big as he could in the house and caught him and lowered him gently to the floor muttering about how he was going to kill whoever did this. Gray had taken Evergreen to her room and was followed by Levy and Juvia, who kicked Gray out so they could change her in peace. Wendy had already begun to work on Gajeel when the old hag came into the room as well, followed by Elfman's sisters who were sobbing at the site of their brother. "Good job taking control of the situation child now let me help you bandage him." They finished quickly and she ordered, "We're gonna have to carry him to the infirmary, black cat! Come here and carry him as quickly to the guild as you can and take Wendy too, you are capable of doing this correct?" she asked Lily who nodded and transformed into his real body and carried the two out. "Now where is the woman? Is she awake ye…" she never finished as a blood curling scream let out from Evergreen's room and continued until the old hag entered the room and began to calm her down. Damn, I'm failing at my job.

(POV Change to previous, unknown character)

I watch the whole scene unfold and smirked to myself, damn, everything was going according to plan. I rid myself of the smirk and let my paranoia kick in, this was far too easy and there's no way this string of luck will continue. I turned satisfied with the results and returned to the rendezvous point, giving the mission success statement over the lacrima, " Santa's helper has delivered the message." Wow we really need to change our code phrases. I arrived at the rendezvous and asked, "So how did everyone else do with my little distraction?" I asked those gathered, their response a knowing and happy smirk.

A/N: Damn poor Elfman, but in reality if you leave your door open like that you're bound to get burned. Stupidity aside we're making good progress here! Expect an update soonish, maybe Monday night at the latest. Until then, Read and Review, Adios!
