Today was going to be a good day for Lucy's class for today was their teaching assistant's, Mirajane's, birthday. Mirajane has always been a great assistant to Alzack and to the whole class. All of them decided to come together to give her something for it.

"I can't believe you all did this for my sister. She's going to be so touched." Lisanna said as they all talked about the gifts they got her.

"I heard how Mirajane is quite the singer herself. I actually got her a small karaoke set." Gajeel said as he showed his.

"Wow. That's going big." Levy said.

"Well, when she found out how much I like music, she encouraged me to pursue it." Gajeel said. "She thinks I could possibly have a career in it."

"I got her an assortment of flowers." Loke said as he showed a bouquet he had. "I got her red and purple flowers since I heard they're her favorite flowers. They also have me think of how she acts like a peacemaker for people with problems."

"Lisanna, you're really lucky you've got a sister like Mirajane." Cana said.

"Everyone seems to have really thought about what to give Mira for her birthday." Lucy said as she was having doubts on hers. "I hope she'll like mine."

"Are you kidding? Yours is handmade. There's no way she'll not like it." Erza said.

"Handmade? What did you get her?" Natsu asked as they all wanted to know. Lucy pulled out her a gift and showed she made a small pink bag that Lucy made herself. Everyone was impressed that Lucy made that. She also had some writing in it.

"If we want to change the world, we need to have an open heart. That's one of the first things Mirajane taught us." Lucy said as she opened up an pulled out some lipstick. "I also got her this. This color will look great on her."

"She might be a college intern, but Mirajane will make a great teacher herself one day." Levy said. They all felt the same and felt lucky to be one of the first that Mirajane taught. Everyone was happy for today. Almost everyone... Taylor seems to be the only one who was getting annoyed for all of this.

"What about you, Taylor?" Natsu asked. "I'm sure you got her something nice." All of them looked to her, but they all wondered if Taylor actually did get Mirajane anything.

"Uh... No because I forgot. Anyway, it's not that big of a deal." Taylor said.

"Why am I not surprised?" Lucy said as she expected Taylor didn't have anything. All of them expected the same thing.

"It's not Taylor's fault." Samantha said to try and defend her. "She just doesn't like birthdays because her mother..." Taylor stopped her from saying anymore.

"This girl has no heart." Lucy whispered to her best friends.

"I heard that! You have something to say, Heartfilia?!" Taylor said.

"Yeah." Lucy said as she was being brave enough to say it. "None of us are buying that you just forgot. You just didn't care, like always, because you only care about herself." She really told her off and it got under Taylor's skin. When Lucy put her gift in her locker, the bell went off.

"Let's go. Remember, we're all giving our gifts after lunch." Levy said. All of them were clearing out of the room, but Taylor noticed that Lucy left her locker slightly opened. She stopped Samantha from going anywhere.

"Taylor, we're going to be late." Samantha said. Taylor walked to the locker and opened it up.

"Black marker." Taylor insisted. Samantha gave the marker and pulled off the cap. "I do have a gift for you, Lucy Heartfilia."

...

Later

As the day went on, everyone was at lunch. When lunch ended, everyone was excited because they all plan to give their gifts for Mirajane. As they all entered the class, they all handed their gifts for Mirajane. Mirajane was really touched that all the students got her these gifts.

"I really don't know what to say." Mirajane said.

"I am most impressed class that you would all would get something for Mirajane." Alzack said. "Go on ahead, Mira. Open them. Let's see what they all got you." Mirajane loved that the students love her this much. She reached for the first gift and it ended up being Lucy's.

"That one is Lucy's." Levy said. Knowing that, Mirajane is sure it's going to go great. However, she was a little shocked. The bag that Lucy made was covered with spiders that were drawn on with a monster's face and the message was crossed out. Lucy ran over to her gift and couldn't believe it. She worked hard on the gift and it was ruined.

"I knew you did this, Taylor Allard!" Lucy said with Taylor acting so smug.

"So uncool, Taylor." Levy said.

"It's fine. It will have me think of both of you." Mirajane said. "I see some lipstick in their too. I can use this for my makeup."

"No! Taylor shouldn't get any credit! She ruined it!" Lucy said.

"That girl is as bad as Black Wizard!" Levy claimed.

"Half the people who have been etheriouized is because of her!" Cana said with everyone agreeing on that.

"Class, settle down!" Alzack said as he tried to keep it all under control.

"Lucy, can I talk to you for a minute?" Mirajane said. Thinking she was in trouble, Lucy was shocked and Taylor felt like she got what she deserved. As they stepped outside, Lucy was angrier at Taylor than she's ever felt before.

...

Black Wizard

"A perfect gift ruined and getting in trouble for someone else's wrongdoing. Let's fix that." Black Wizard said as he actually attempted to possess Lucy. He filled an etherious with his power and released it. "Fly, my evil little etherious, and evillize her!"

...

Lucy

"Mirajane, this isn't fair." Lucy said as they talked just outside the class. "It was all Taylor's fault, but I'm the one in trouble?"

"You're not in trouble." Mirajane said as she took a knee. "I know this had to have been Taylor's doing. I wanted to talk to about how to handle that. As the class rep, I think it would be best if you set an example by being nicer to Taylor."

"What?! Taylor is the meanest person ever." Lucy said.

"I know it seems like that." Mirajane said. "There are some people out there that are rotten. The problem is that they only think about themselves and don't see how their actions can hurt others. That's why people like you are so important." Just as the etherious showed up, Lucy started to feel better when Mirajane said she was important and the etherious flew away.

...

Black Wizard

"What's going on? The negative emotions are fading." Black Wizard questioned as he didn't understand. "Stay close, my etherious. There must be something there."

...

Lucy

"I don't understand." Lucy said.

"When you react the way you do towards Taylor, Lucy, you practically encourage her to continue it." Mirajane said. "She does it to upset you and you're giving her what she wants. What I mean is that people like you, people who are nice and care for others more than themselves, are important because you can show them how they should be. I'm sure Taylor is capable of being nice, but needs help showing it. Be like a leader and set an example for others to follow. It might take some time, but Taylor will soon follow." It's certainly something for Lucy to think about, but it might not be easy. Just as they finished talking, Mirajane spotted the etherious. "An etherious!" Mirajane acted quickly and moved Lucy behind her and tried chasing it away. "Go away! I won't let you evillize one of my students!"

...

Black Wizard

"Aw! Fear! I can use that fear." Black Wizard said as he had a different target in mind.

...

The School

Mirajane tried throwing the bag at the etherious, but it missed. The lipstick fell out when the bag hit the ground and the etherious went towards it. It went inside and Mirajane could feel the dark power, but she tried to resist it.

"Fight it, Mira!" Lucy pleaded.

"Hello, Miss." Black Wizard said as the wing outline appeared over her face.

"I'm not listening to you! You can't force me to do evil!" Mirajane said.

"Who said anything about evil? I want to help spread love. Doesn't that sound better?" Black Wizard said,

"Don't listen to him." Lucy said as she hoped Mira would resist, but she could see Mira wasn't fighting anymore. Knowing what was going to happen next, she hurried off.

"Zombiss, I'm Black Wizard. I'm giving you the power to spread love all around. Once you get Celestria and Salamondra, they'll give you their miraculous without a fight. How does that sound?"

"It sounds lovely. Everyone will feel love." Mirajane said. She grabbed the lipstick and placed some of it on. "I'll start with Taylor Allard." She claimed as she began to transform.

...

Lucy

Lucy ducked down in a place where she would be alone to transform.

"That does it, Black Wizard. You've gone too far." Lucy claimed thinking Mirajane shouldn't go through this. "Stella, Twinkle!"

...

The Classroom

All of them were surprised when Mirajane came in, but she was Zombiss now. She wore a red dress with a lip symbol on the chest and a slit to show off her leg. She might be wearing heels strapped around her leg, but she had no trouble walking. Her hair also looked more wild and edgy with her lips shiny red.

"Mira?" Lisanna said.

"Not anymore, Lisanna. I'm Zombiss, and I'm here to share the love. Especially for you, Taylor." She blew a kiss to Taylor and it could actually be seen. A little freaked, Taylor grabbed Samantha and used her as a shield with the kiss hitting her head.

"What is that?" Samantha said with her getting scared.

"Mirajane, stop." Alzack said, but Zombiss blew her another kiss at him and it hit with him dropping to his knees. She was about to share her love with everyone, but Celestria came in and got her whip around her arm.

"Everyone out!" Celestria said with all the students running for it. "You have to stop Mirajane. This isn't love."

"I said my name is Zombiss, and I think you need to experience my love." Zombiss said. "Just look at what my kisses do." Celestria looked at Alzack and he wasn't looking good. Meanwhile, the students all made a run for it, but Samantha was slowing down.

"Samantha, hurry up!" Taylor demanded.

"I... I don't feel so..." Something was happening to Samantha. Suddenly, her eyes began to glow pink and her lips turned red. She kept smacking her lips together as she went at Taylor, but Taylor kept her back. Natsu could see this was trouble as he pushed Samantha off with Erza grabbing her, but Samantha pushed Erza down.

"Erza!" Jellal called out of concern. He hurried to her and pushed Samantha off, but Erza already got kissed.

"I feel...feverish." Erza said as she could feel something happening to her body and she went in the same trance as Samantha.

"They're contagious! They're like kissing zombies! Don't get kissed!" Natsu said as they all tried to run for it.

"Go! I'll hold them back!" Jellal said as he tried to keep Erza and Samantha back, but that's not much of a good move when it comes to zombies.

...

Zombiss

Celestria soon learned about the effects of Zombiss' power. Alzack tried kissing Celestria, but she was able to keep him away. She tried fighting Zombiss at the same time, but Zombiss kept her distance as well.

"You can't stop love, Celestria. It conquers all." Zombiss claimed. Celestria knew she had to do something fast, but she heard the door open and saw her three classmates under Zombiss' power. "I'll leave her with you, my loves." Zombiss took the opportunity to escape and look for Taylor. She started in Miss Porlyusica's room. "Is Taylor Allard here?"

"Who are you? I'm trying to teach a class." Porlyusica complained.

"She's not here? Oh well. Kisses." Zombiss said as she spread kisses to the classroom. She didn't stop there. Zombiss was spreading her love over the whole school and every student and faculty was falling under her power. She didn't want just to school to feel the love. Zombiss is going to spread her love to everyone in Paris.

...

Celestria

"That should hold them." Celestria said as she was able to tie down the four kissing zombies. "I better look around for any survivors." Celestria hurried out of the classroom and started looking, but she was already too late. Many students were under Zombiss' power and they were everywhere. It was like the beginning of a zombie apocalypse. Celestria continued searching around the school until she reached the lockers. "Anyone here?" Someone did spot her and went at her.

"Celestria!" Thinking it was an enemy, Celestria grabbed her and tossed her to the ground, but she realized her mistake when she saw it was Taylor not under the trance.

"Sorry. It was a reflex." Celestria said as she helped her up.

"Celestria!" Levy said as she and the other classmates came out of hiding.

"Is this everyone?" Celestria asked.

"Hold on. Natsu's still in his locker." Gray said as he noticed Natsu didn't. "Natsu, you can come out. Celestria is here." They all went to his locker and opened it up to see he was there.

"Natsu?" Celestria said. Suddenly, he started smacking his lips together. Given the circumstances, Celestria closed the locker with Taylor screaming in despair.

"Oh no. He must have gotten kissed when he pushed Samantha off." Levy said.

"We can't stay here. Let's head for the roof." Celestria said as she lead everyone to somewhere safe. As for Natsu, he just acted and waited until the coast was clear.

"Admit it. You were just trying to kiss Celestria." Igneel said.

"Tried killing two birds with one stone. Igneel, Fire Up!"

...

The Roof

Celestria was able to get everyone up to the roof of the school. All of them remained there with Salamondra able to find them.

"Guys, I'm all for the French, but let's hold off on the kissing." Salamondra said. "Your school likes to get REALLY friendly."

"It's getting worse. Look at this." Celestria said as she projected the news from her whip.

"Paris is faced with a crisis. Something like a pandemic is spreading. Here is what the mayor has to say." Bisca reported and changed to Mayor Allard.

"People of Paris..." That was really all he said before more kissing zombies went at him with Taylor getting scared for her father.

"It seems we're having problems..." Bisca reported before a kiss hit her and she too fell under the spell.

"I've taken care of your father, Taylor." Zombiss said as she appeared on the news. "It's only a matter of time until I get to you. Celestria and Salamondra, I'll be coming for you, too." She blew out another kiss before the signal was lost. Paris is quickly escalating into something from a zombie movie, and some knew who to blame.

"Taylor... Always, Taylor. Now because of you, my own sister has been etheriouized." Lisanna said with much anger. She moved closer to Taylor until Taylor was right at the edge. "You really don't care about anyone but yourself."

"Figures this is all your fault." Cana said as all the other students felt the same.

"For once, I say we just give the bad guys what they want." Levy said.

"Agreed" Gajeel said with all the others feeling the same.

"Is it my fault that I'm simply better than all of you?" Taylor said. They were all ready to just give Taylor to her, but Celestria and Salamondra wouldn't allow it.

"Sorry, but we can't do that." Celestria said with Taylor feeling smug that Celestria is defending her. "Taylor's the perfect bait to lure Zombiss to us." So much for Celestria defending Taylor. "First, we need to get out of here."

"Hold on. Isn't there one more of your group? What about this Lucy Heartfilia?" Salamondra asked. When he asked that, all of them realized Lucy wasn't with them and Celestria felt nervous.

"He's right! Lucy could still be down there!" Juvia said as they all looked down and tried to find her.

"Where is she?" Loke questioned.

"I...already spotted her and I'm afraid it's too late. She's already one of them." Celestria claimed to hide the truth. Hearing that had them feel sad.

"Lucy was the last person with Mira before she was etheriouized. She was probably her first victim." Levy theorized.

"Let's just focus on getting out of here." Celestria said as she looked around. When she looked to the streets, she spotted a bus they can use. "Salamondra, get us down there!" When she pointed to the bus, Salamondra extended his staff to have it between the school and a light post. Once he made sure it was secured, he removed his tail.

"Use this to slide down." Salamondra said and made his way down to the bus.

"Let's go! We need to move fast!" Celestria said as she helped them all get down. She was able to get Lisanna, Juvia, Cana, Levy, Gajeel, and Gray down there. However, the kissing zombies are starting to make their way up the roof and were heading.

"Save me!" Taylor panicked. Hibiki was brave enough to act fast and tried holding them off. Loke acted fast and allowed Taylor to go next. "Don't expect a kiss out of me."

"Just go before I change my mind." Loke said as he had her go down, but Loke got caught too. Celestria moved fast and tried to get them away. Taylor was coming in too fast that Salamondra missed catching her and she hit the sign with some zombies coming for her.

"Hey! Over here! Kissy, kissy!" Salamondra called as he tried to lure them away from Taylor. With them moving away, Lisanna opened the bus door.

"What are you doing?" Juvia said.

"I can't just leave her there, even if this is her fault." Lisanna said. Lisanna hurried to Taylor, but Taylor ended up falling and hurting her leg.

"Argh! You were too slow." Taylor complained. Back on the roof, Celestria tried saving Loke and Hibiki, but it was too late for them.

"Just go. You'll save us like always." Loke said. Celestria didn't want to leave without them, but there was no choice. She made her way down. As for Lisanna, she tried helping Taylor get to the bus, but she ended up getting grabbed by the leg from a zombie. She thought she was going to be a goner, but Salamondra was able to move fast enough and saved both of them.

"Come on! We need to go!" Celestria said as they all boarded on the bus with Salamondra taking the wheel. "You do know how to drive, right?"

"Nope." Salamondra said, but he tried it anyway. He got the bus going and tried his best to get it moving. Wasn't really easy. "Where are we going?"

"The Eiffel Tower. It's the only place I can think of they can't get to." Celestria said. While they were trying to get there, Lisanna didn't look so well.

"Lisanna, are you okay?" Juvia asked.

"Yeah..." Lisanna said, but she sure didn't look fine.

"What's the plan once we get there?" Salamondra asked.

"We'll take cover at the top. If Zombiss wants Taylor, she'll have to come herself." Celestria said. They thought they were in the clear, but they heard screaming in the back. They looked back and saw Lisanna was under the spell too and already infected Juvia. When they tried to get the rest, Cana and Gray stood in the way. "Hurry!" Salamondra tried moving as fast as they could. They soon arrived at the tower with all those who weren't infected running for it with Salamondra carrying Taylor and Celestria locking the others inside.

"This way! Head for the top!" Salamondra said as they arrived at the elevator. They hurried to get it open, but there were already a couple zombies inside and they fell on top of Levy.

"Levy!" Celestria and Gajeel called as they tried to get her off, but she was already infected.

"We've got no choice. We have to go without her." Salamondra said.

"It will be okay. I know you'll save us all, Celestria." Levy believed. Celestria hated leaving her friend behind, but there was no choice as they boarded the elevator.

"Gajeel, come on." Celestria said, but all he did was salute them as it closed. "No!" She called, but it was too late for him.

"It's just the three of us now." Salamondra said.

"Only the best remain." Taylor said with Celestria reaching her limit.

"Do you not get this is all your fault?! They sacrificed their lives to save yours even when you didn't deserve it!" Celestria said as she finally snapped at Taylor. As for Gajeel, he stayed behind to make sure they all got away.

"This reminds me of that other time we got stuck together." Gajeel told Levy just as the spell took her over. Rather than fighting her off, he held on to her and accepted what happened.

...

The Top

The survivors made their way to the top of the tower. They thought they were would be safe, but there were zombies already there.

"Inside!" Celestria said as they tried to hurry inside the office at the top of the tower. When they were just about to get them, Salamondra tossed Taylor over to Celestria. Celestria pushed Taylor inside, but she saw it was too late for Salamondra. He tried holding them back, but he's already been kissed. "Salamondra... No..."

"It will be okay. I know you'll fix everything." Salamondra said. "You better go. I rather remember when we kiss." Celestria hated she couldn't save them, but there's still a chance. She ducked inside the office with Taylor, but now they were surrounded. Zombiss stood at the top of the tower and believe she has them trapped. Taylor looked around and saw this was the end.

"It's hopeless! There's no way out!" Taylor said.

"We're not beaten yet." Celestria said as she still had a trick up her sleeve. "Open the Celestial Gate!" She called on her powers and it ended up being bottled water with the Aquarius sign.

"A bottle of water? What are you going to do with that?" Taylor questioned. Celestria tried to figure that out. Just then, the ceiling broke apart with Salamondra breaking inside. They saw that he too was under Zombiss' power. He leaped at Celestria to kiss her, but Taylor surprised her by sacrificing herself. "Save us all, Celestria." She can't fail now. Taking the opportunity, she jumped through the hole and was faced with Zombiss.

"It's now just you and me now. Give me your miraculous. Love conquers all." Zombiss claimed with victory. Celestria tried to think of a way out of this until she saw Zombiss' lips with the water.

"This isn't love, but I'm going to love doing this!" Celestria said as she opened the bottle and shot water right in Zombiss' face with her makeup running. Zombiss tried to fix that with her lipstick, but Celestria used her whip and snatched the stick out Zombiss' hands and knocked her down. When Celestria grabbed the lipstick, she tore it apart with the etherious flying out. "No more evildoing for you, little etherious. Time to de-evillize!" She used her whip once more and was able to catch the etherious and purify it. "Gotcha! Bye-bye, little guy. Miraculous Starlight!" She threw the bottle into the air and caused the magic stars to fix everything and restored everyone to normal. The Eiffel Tower was also clear of all the zombies. As for Zombiss, she turned back into sweet Mirajane.

"What happened?" Mirajane asked. She was confused until she pieced it all together. When she realized what happened, she felt so guilty. "I gave into Black Wizard's power."

"It's not your fault." Celestria said as she and Salamondra tried to comfort her.

"It's mine." Taylor admitted with all of them turning to her. "I forgot your birthday, but everyone thought it was because I didn't care. So, I snapped because I would have gotten you something nice." Mirajane was rather touched by Taylor admitting her mistake that she actually hugged Taylor.

"Thank you, Taylor. That's the best gift I got." Mirajane said. Feeling such comfort from Mirajane, she hugged back with the heroes doing their celebratory pound it.

...

Black Wizard

"If love really does conquer in the end, no matter what kind of love it is, I will be the one who wins in the end." Black Wizard claims as he believe the type of love he has will be what allows him to win.

...

The School

"Are you nuts? We should be thanking you?" Levy said.

"Of course." Taylor said.

"I've got several witnesses, myself included, claiming that this whole mess with Zombiss is really your fault. Why should we thank you?" Levy said. With the danger over, everything was back to normal with Taylor saying she should be thanked with helping Celestria. This argument was escalating until Lucy stepped.

"I heard that you actually did help Celestria. Nice work." Lucy said with Levy shocked. Lucy put an end to all of this as she and Levy went back to their seats.

"Lucy, are you still a zombie or something?" Levy asked.

"I realize that Taylor is capable of being nice. She just needs help showing it." Lucy said. They saw she was right as they saw Taylor place a small present on the desk for Mirajane. Mirajane really is a special person as she sees the good in everyone. If setting a good example helps others become good, Mirajane is setting one of the best examples.

AN: Taking a break from here. Let's try to get the reviews going. Tell me what you like or what you don't like.
