I don't own any of the characters except for oc.

(A/n: I was playing a game and was very busy on it and doing others things as well but here is a new chapter!)

~Anastasia's POV~

"Everyone! We're taking job requests again starting today! This reception counter is only temporary, but let's do lots and lots of work!" Mira announces to everyone as everyone cheer of the news.

"What's the deal? Everyone usually just sits around doing nothing...Everyone usually just sits around doing nothing..." Lucy said as Mira giggled, "Come to think of it, is Loke here?"

"Oh, have you finally fallen into Loke's clutches too?" Mira tease her.

"It's not like that!" Lucy denied, "It sounds like he found my keys for me, so I wanted to thank him."

"Sure, I'll tell him if I see him." Mira said, "Did the celestial spirits get mad at you for dropping their keys, though?"

Lucy chuckled nervously, "Oh, it wasn't anything enough for them to get that mad about...My butt stings just thinking about it..." as she hold her butt from pain, she had.

"Oh, my..."

"Want me to cool it for you?" Gray said to using his magic.

"That's casual sexual harassment." Lucy told Gray.

"Lemme see your red butt, Lucy!" I said with a teasing tone.

"That's unadulterated sexual harassment!" Lucy yelled at me

Natsu used his magic, "I wonder what look she'd give if I made it sting even more!" He said with smirk.

"What are you, the devil?!" Lucy shouted at Natsu. As a barrel was thrown at Natsu who fell.

"Try saying that again!" Erza yelled at Laxus. Erza was glaring at Laxus.

"Erza?"

"Since I'm here, let me make things nice and clear." Laxus said while he was sitting, "Weaklings don't belong in this guild! Man, you guys are pathetic, letting Phantom make a mockery of you. Actually, I don't even know your names." Laxus said to Jet and Droy

"And you there, rich celestial wizard girl. You were the main culprit. It was your fault." Laxus said to Lucy.

I give him an angry glare, "That's enough. Shut your damn mouth!" I yelled at him, "YOU HAVE NO REASON TO SAY THOSE WORDS TO ONES WHO WERE HURT BY PHANTOM LORD! WE ASK YOU TO HELP US, YOU REFUSE TO HELP! One day, Laxus, you will get karma, and I will laugh at your misery... and Gramps said no one is being blamed."

Laxus grinned and glared at me, "Well yeah! It had nothing to do with me! Although if I had been there, you wouldn't have had all that trouble."

"Why, you...!" Erza said.

I tsk my teeth, I lift my leg up to attack him, Laxus disappears before I could hit and my leg hit the table as it broke in half.

"I suggest, you leave before I get very angry, Laxus. If you don't want me very angry, because it's gonna be a bad time." I exclaimed, give him a dragon glare.

Laxus grinned with arrogance, "Once I inherit the guild, I'm kicking every last wimp out. And everyone who tries to stand up to me! I'm going to create the most powerful guild! The most powerful guild in history! No one will be able to mock it!" Laxus laughs evilly as he left.

I rolled my eyes at him. "He is so annoying, he change so much after all these years have him." I mumbled.

"Inherit? What kind of crazy talk is that?" Lucy questioned.

"Actually, it isn't crazy... Laxus is our master's grandson, you see." Mira said to her.

"Wha...?!" Lucy said shocked.

"So when Master retired, the chances that Laxus becomes, the next master is quite high." Mira continued.

"Y-You can't be serious..." Lucy said in disbelief.

"But I don't like the idea of someone being our master when he treats his fellow members that way..." Lucy said.

"They say that's why our master is having a hard time retiring..." Mira told her.

"Is that it?"

That jerk!" Natsu said with clutching his fist.

That's enough. You'll only tire yourself out dealing with him." I told him.

"Anyway, what do you say? Feel up to a job?" Erza asked us.

"Huh?" Natsu looked at her confused.

"With Gray and Lucy, too, of course." Erza said looking at Gray and Lucy.

"Huh?"

"Wha...?!"

"Gray, your clothes..." I told him as he looked down to see his clothes are gone except his boxer.

"It feels like we've always been together since the Eisenwald incident." Erza said.

"Feels like it? She noticed only now?!"

"It was obvious to pretty much anyone. Was she not paying any attention?"

"That's Erza for you!"

"What do you say we form an actual team?" Erza said to us, "It'll be the five of us... Oh, six, counting Happy!"

"But are you sure you want someone like me?" Lucy said with shy smile.

"Not someone like you...someone that is you, Lucy!" I said giving her a smile.

"Aye!"

"Without you, things just wouldn't fit right, you know?" Natsu told her.

"Then it's official. Say hello to the strongest team in Fairy Tail."

"This is great!"

"But is Lucy actually that tough?"

"I don't think I'd stand a chance if she sicced Aquarius on me!"

"She's got a sharp mouth, too!"

"She's the best in many different ways..."

Gray and Natsu glared at each other.

"Have a problem with that?" Erza asked them.

"No! We're ecstatic!" Both of them said in panic.

"I have a job already lined up! We're to defeat a magic cult secretly operating in the town of Lupinas! Let's go!" Erza told us.

"Yeah!"


"Onibas! We haven't been here since the Lullaby incident!" Lucy said.

"Natsu! We're here!" I told him.

"N-No good..." Natsu mumbled, I sighed and put him up, over my shoulder and join the others.

"So it's a request for us to use our magic to attract lots of people to see a play, right?" Gray asked.

"That's right! Doesn't it sound neat?!" Lucy said, "Natsu can shoot fire, Gray and Erza can create a big scene using their Make and Requip magic, Stacy can use one of her magic to use light and I can use Lyra's singing to stir up emotions! It's going to be a wonderful performance! If I ever finish my novel, I bet it'll get turned into a play someday! Yes! This is a great chance to study up on stage direction!"

We made it to the theater.

"This place is classy!" Happy said excitedly.

"Let's go!" Lucy said.

"Excuse me..." the theater owner said to us, "Are you the people from Fairy Tail?"

"Yes!" I answered.

"Thank you so much for accepting the job!" Rabian said.

"Sure! Just leave the stage work to us!" Lucy said with excitement.

"Actually, about that...I'm suddenly in a bit of a pickle..." Rabian said as he was nervous.


"Wha...?! All the actors ran off?!" Lucy said as we all were in the back room.

"That is correct. Thank you very much."

"For what?"

"All of my plays have been bombing one after another, to the point that even the actors became ashamed to be in them...Even my wife got sick of me chasing my dream and left me!" Rabian said to us, "This was all I had left going for me, too! Thank you so much!"

"You're thanking at the wrong time..." I said with nervous smile.

"So the play is called off! Thank you!" Rabian said.

"Oh, that's all that's troubling you?" Erza said as we all looked at her confuses, "If it's actors you need...you have some right here!" as she had a big smile on her face.

"Huh...?!" I said as I looked at her with disbelief.

"Sh-She's dazzling!"

"A-e-i-u-e-o-a-o! Ka-ke-ki-ku-ke-ko-ka-ko!" Erza vocal her voice.

"Vocal exercises!" Happy said.

"Actually, it does sound kind of neat!" Lucy said.

"You sure?" Natsu asked.

"Aye!"

"We won't let your dream end here!" Gray said.

"Yeah, this could be fun." I added.

"Everyone...Well, I guess I can let you try...Ugh. Amateurs..."

"Now he doesn't thank us..." Gray exclaimed.

One week until our performance!

"My name is Fredrick! I've come to rescue the princess!" Erza rehearse her lines. All of us were wearing track clothes.

"Wow! Erza is really good at acting!" Lucy said in shock.

"She's really gotten into the role." Happy said.

"I won't lose to her!" Natsu said as he was cutting some wood.

"Yeah!"

"She is really into it, huh?" I said.

"Aye, Sir!"

Happy sent out flyers for everyone to see the play, as everyone but me practices our roles in the play.

"Your cheering squad is here, thank you." Rabian said to us.

"Cheering squad?" We questioned.

"Yo!" Gramps greeted us.

"Where do I even start with this group?!" Lucy said shock in disbelief.

"It's almost time for the debut performance! Break a leg!" Mira hyped us up.

"How long it's been since I last saw a play!" Gramps said.

"I appreciate the invite, Macky!" Yajima said.

"It's good to see you again! How've you been?" Bob said.

"We're here to crack jokes." Goldmine said.

"Meat!"

"Wait, what are you doing here, fake Salamander?!" Lucy asked in disbelief to see him.

"Long time, no see, Michael!" Natsu miscorrect his name.

"It's Bora, sweetheart." I added.

"I gave up my life as an aggressive glamour model scout after being deeply struck by Big Bro's heated fists!"

"Huh?! That's what that was?! Huh?" Lucy questioned

"What did you think it was?" Bora asked confused.

"Oh, uhh, well..." Lucy stumbled.

"Lu-chan, hentai!" I said in a teasing tone.

"You have our support, Big Sis!" A pirate said to Erza.

"Thank you for coming all this way!" Erza replied.

"So hard!"

"You're that girl from Galuna Island!" Gray said.

"My name's Lulu! Thanks for helping us back then!" Lulu said to him.

"Wait, aren't you two from Phantom...?" Lucy questioned them.

"Big Bro's toughness made a big impression on me!" Boze said.

"So, umm, I brought you this." Sue said as she was holding raw beef.

"Meat!"

"That's raw meat..." Lucy said in disbelief.

"I-I didn't make it for you, just so you know!" Sue said.

"Tsundere." I said with smile.

"Thanks a bunch!" Natsu said.

Then Sue kicked him away, "Not for you!I-It's for that red dog..."

"Uppa!"

"He's actually a blue cat..." Lucy corrected her.

"So when are you going to destroy the moon for us?!" Moka said.

"Do I even need to say anything?" Lucy sweat-dropped.

"Good luck!"

"I'm exhausted before the show's even begun..." Lucy said leaning onto my shoulder, as I patted her head.


The day of the performance arrived at last!

"Oh! We've never had so many people come before! Thank you!" Rabian said as he looked at the audience with happiness.

"Oh! This is my first time singing in front of such a big crowd!" Lyra said excitedly.

"Now we just need to pull this off!" Lucy said.

Once upon a time.. ...a prince of a kingdom in the west fell in love...

"Such a beautiful voice..."

"Just marvelous!"

...a prince of a kingdom in the west fell in love...with the princess of a rival kingdom...

As the Erza appears wearing a prince outfit.

"Big Sis!"

"That prince is so dreamy!"

To save the princess...the prince of the western kingdom...

Then Erza froze and not saying her lines.

"Oh boy..." Gray murmured.

"Why is she so nervous?!" Lucy said nervously.

"She got stage fear." I said in a monotone voice.

...went to the Mountain of Death...

"I-I here... save prin... cess..." Erza said as she was shaking in stage fear.

"Scrap meat!"

"Man, that's stiff acting." Bora said.

"No, she's acting out realistic nervousness!" Boze said.

"It's that "Lamaze method" thing!" Sue said.

"That's completely wrong..."

"I... w-w-wield..." Erza continued her lines but she *cough* skipping some parts.

"She's skipping ahead! It's not time for that line yet!" I said holding the script. Lucy was wearing a princess costume.

"She's so nervous she's hardly even breathing." Happy said.

"...t-t-ten swords..." Erza then requip some of her swords as they were since flying through the theater seats where the audience was.

"Ooh, Big Sis! Do more!"

"Erza is falling apart!" Happy said in panic.

"What are we going to do?!" Gray asked nervously.

"Anyway, we need to try whatever we can to cover for her!" Lucy said with a determined expression.

"Is it my entrance yet?" Natsu asked.

"Not yet!" I told him.

Next scene, Lucy comes down and she was tied up.

"Oh, please help me, Prince Fredrick! Seinhart has captured me!" Lucy said.

"My name is Julius!" Gray said coming on stage. "If you want the princess b-back, you will face me in a duel!"

"Who is this now?!"

"What happened to Seinhart?!"

"This makes no sense!"

"They're such good actors!"

"F-F-Fight! Fight! Fight!" Erza said as she was shivering and shaking in fear.

"Yikes! Erza's completely lost it!" Gray whispered.

"I'll handle it!" Lucy said, "Open, Gate of the Clock Constellation! Horologium!" As smoke over the stage and Erza was inside of Horologium.

"Du-du-duel..." is what she says." Horologium said.

"What are you doing, Lucy?!" Gray whispered to her.

"The story would have nowhere to go if Fredrick had fainted there!" Lucy whispered back, then said, "How good of you to come, Great Clock!Please give Prince Fredrick a brief rest!"

"I can breathe again! I am revived!" Erza said as she stepped out of the clock.

"Taste my ice sword!" Gray said using his magic to make an ice sword.

"Th-That is nothing! I-I wield ten swords!" Erza said nervously. As she summon more swords at Gray.

"Help!" Gray said as he run offstage.

"He's so weak!"

"Don't just run off!"

"What realism!"

"He got cold feet!"

"Thank you, Prince Fredrick!" Lucy said.

Erza kneel down to one knee, "L-Lady Yanderica! Let us have many children! Thirty or so!"

"Talk about hasty!"

"This makes no sense!"

Then Gray joined back on stage, "Your short-lived peace ends now-eth!"

"Julius is back!"

"Now-eth isn't even a word!"

"This is the end! Come forth, my dragon servant!" Gray said as Happy and I help Natsu enter the stage.

"It's about time!"

"Yes, yes!"

"I am a great dragon! I will destroy all!" Natsu said.

"Our only hope is to work together!" Gray said.

"O-Oh... That would be... reassuring..." Erza said.

"You're the one who summoned it!"

"What kind of story is this?!"

"I'll hold it off! Please escape, you two!" Lucy said.

"What?! Why is the princess saying that?!"

"W-We owe you one!" Erza said.

"Yeah!" Gray said as he and Erza walked away from the scene.

"They're actually running away?!"

"So heavy..." Happy and I said as we accidentally let go of the dragon that Natsu was inside of. And it cause explosions of dust.

Lucy coughed then looked down to see the dress was caught on fire, "Gray! Help! Ice! Ice!"

"All right! Ice Make...!" Gray said then Erza jumped on his head, as she *uh* cut up the dress that Lucy was wearing.

"Yare yare." I muttered.

Erza placed her coat on Lucy, "Princess...Are you all right?"

"For such a bad actress you're way too into your part!" Lucy said to her.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Natsu said as throw his fire across the room.

"Quit it, Natsu!" Gray said as he was going to use his magic. Then the ground underneath him, as Taurus appeared.

"Moo! What a nice body, Princess Yanderica! It's the best!"

"The best!"

"Come on, now..."

One of my eyebrows was twitching in annoyance.

"Don't just come out and say stuff like that!" I yelled at him.

"I told you before, Lucy! I swore to protect you and your nice body!" Taurus said as he disappeared.

"What did you come here for?!" Lucy asked confuse. As Gray and Natsu were fighting in the background.

"I-I have no choice now but to punish y-y-you all!" Erza said.

"This is completely out of hand now!" I said with a hand on my hip.

"Yes, yes!"

"Plus... I get a really bad feeling about this..." Lucy said. Just on call the entire theater crumble.

"I should've known!"

Everyone was cheering at us.

"Prince Fredrick!"

"That was great! Just awesome!"

"Just wonderful!"


"I never imagined it would be such a huge hit!" Rabian said to us, "For such lousy actors, you sure can put on a show!"

"C'mon, pay up already..." Natsu said.

"Three performances a day is too much to handle..." Gray said.

"Get your butts in gear and get ready, you lowlifes!" Rabian said to us.

"He's a different character now..." Happy said.

"I want... to go home...!" Lucy and I said, as tears were pouring out of our eyes.
