Next Generation
"Listen up everyone! We're taking on job requests again, starting today!" Mira announced excitedly. Everyone cheered in excitement. It wasn't long before everyone rushed to the request board looking for a job. "What's up with them?" Lucy asked as she watched them looking at all of the available jobs on the request board. "Most of the time these guys would just be loafing around the guild hall all day" you said. Mira laughed. "I don't suppose you've seen Loke have you?" Lucy asked. You smirked. "Oh, don't tell me you've fallen head over heels for Fairy Tail's resident playboy" you said. "It's not like that!" Lucy said. Then Lucy took out her chain of gate keys. "It's just that apparently he was the one who found my keys. I just wanted to tell him thanks for his help" Lucy said.
"Sure, I'll let him know if I see him" Mira said. "So were your celestial spirits mad at you?" You asked. "You know, for dropping your keys?" You asked. "Uh, yeah. You could say that. And there's one spirit in particular who was really po'ed with me" Lucy said as she turned around and sweat dropped. An image of Aquarius appeared in Lucy's mind holding a spiky plant. "What did I say about dropping my key?! Huh?!" She asked. Lucy screamed. You laughed awkwardly as you sweat dropped. You knew exactly what Aquarius was like, since you had your own version of Aquarius yourself, whenever you summoned her from her gate key, she would treat you the same way Lucy's Aquarius treated her. Lucy sighed and put her hands over her butt. "Just thinking about it makes my butt sting" she said. "Goodness me" Mira said.
Gray generated ice on one of his hands. "I could cool it for ya" he said. You smirked and giggled. "That sounds like sexual harassment to me" Lucy said as she was blushing a little. "Lucy, can you show me how red your butt is?" Happy asked. "And with that comment you've crossed the line!" Lucy shouted. You burst into laughter. Natsu generated flames on one of his hands. "How do you think she'll react if I make her butt sting even more?" He asked with a smirk. "Who are you?! The devil?!" Lucy asked. Suddenly a giant barrel was thrown at Natsu and he was knocked to the ground. "Why don't you tell the others how you feel?!" Erza asked. You all looked at her to see her glaring at Laxus. "What's going on?" You and Lucy asked at the same time. "I have no problem telling 'em what I think of 'em. This guild's full of nothing but losers and weaklings!" Laxus said, before looking at Jet and Droy. "Especially the two of you morons. You were Phantom Lord's personal punching bags" he said. Droy and Jet grunted. "You know I'm glad I never bothered to learn your names. Which brings me to the worst of them all, the rich little princess wannabe wizards, this was their fault" Laxus said. Mira glared at Laxus. "Laxus! Would you shut up?! The master said no one in the guild was to be held accountable for what happened, not even you, despite the fact that I begged you to come help and you turned your back on us!" Mira said. "Stop your whining! That fight had nothing to do with me" Laxus said. This angered you far enough. "Celestial Dragon: iron fist!" You shouted, as you punched him square in the face.
Laxus fell to the ground. Laxus was in shock, along with the rest of the guild. You glared at him. "How could you?! What is wrong with you?! How could you say things like that about your own guild?!" You asked. "I honestly can't even believe that you're related to our master, because you're nothing like him. You don't deserve to be the master. In fact, you don't even deserve to be a member of this guild!" You shouted. Everyone was shocked. Laxus stood back up and chuckled. "Whatever" he said, before lightning surrounded him and he disappeared. Lucy sat back down in her seat. "What a jerk! Why would anyone ever let him take over?" She asked. "We may not have a choice" Mira said. Lucy looked at her. "Laxus could inherit the guild because he's the master's grandson" Mira said.
"Huh?!" Lucy asked. "Whether we like it or not, he's at the top of a short list of people who could assume command if the master were to retire" Mira said. "No. Really?" Lucy asked. "That sucks. It doesn't seem right" you said. "Someone who talks like that about his fellow members isn't worthy of being Fairy Tail's leader" Lucy said. You nodded in agreement. "It's been rumored Master Makarov refuses to retire for that very reason" Mira said. "Wow. Seriously?" You asked. "Man, I hate him!" Natsu said, shaking his fist. "Calm down. It's just a needless waste of energy. Let's try to get your mind off him. What do you think about taking a job?" Erza asked. "And we can get Gray, (Y/n) and Lucy to come along with us" Erza said. Gray gasped and flinched a bit. "Do what?!" Lucy asked. "Hey Gray, your clothes" Mira said.
Gray looked down and gasped. "We've all been working together since the Eisenwald incident. So I guess we're a team of sorts now" Erza said. "It took her this long to figure that out? We all knew" Wakaba said. "Yeah, those guys have been joined at the hip for a while now" Macao said. "And this is the first time she called them her team?" He asked. "That's Erza for ya" Cana said. "So what do you think about making it official? The five of us working as a team" Erza suggested. "Well actually six if you include Happy" Erza said. You all gasped. "But you're sure you want someone like me on your team?" Lucy asked. You smiled and ran up to her. "Not someone like you! It's gotta be exactly you!" You said. "Aye!" Happy said.
"It just wouldn't feel right if we didn't have you out there with us, ya know?" You asked with a smile. Lucy blushed for a moment, then she laughed. "Now that they finally realize it, I guess they're officially our strongest team" Cana said. "Yeah it's about time" Macao said. "Is Lucy really one of our strongest?" Wakaba asked. "I know I'd be done for if she sicced that psycho Aquarius on me" Alzack said. "She's got a real sharp tongue, too!" Droy said. "Yeah, she's one of the best in the guild" Jet said. "I gotta team up with him?" Gray and Natsu asked as they sent each other death glares. Erza appeared from nowhere. "Problem, boys?" She asked. "No, we're absolutely thrilled!" Gray and Natsu said. "I've already got a job lined up for us. Taking down an arcane cult in the castle town of lupinas. With me?" Erza asked. "Yeah!" All of you said.
~Time Skip~
You and Lucy both sighed and Lucy laid her head down on the bar table. "You're looking a bit down in the dumbs there, you two. What's the matter?" Mira asked. "It's that job we did in Lupinas" Lucy said. "It was nuts" you said. "Natsu keep spitting fire everywhere, and Gray froze the stuff he missed, then Erza... don't get me started on her!" Lucy said. "I could've warned you this would happen" Mira said. "We were a bigger menace to that town than the cult ever was and we're paying for it out of our reward..." you sighed. Lucy started sobbing. "If this keeps up we're not even gonna be able to cover our rent!" She cried. "Well, I just happen to have a special job I could throw your way" Mira suggested. You and Lucy gave her a questioning look. "This one's right up your alley, and the best part is your team won't be able to destroy anything" Mira said. "Yeah?" You asked.
~Time Skip~
"Wow! Onibas!" Lucy said. "We haven't been here since that whole Lullaby thing!" You said. "Hey Natsu! We're here!" Happy said. "Don't make me move" Natsu mumbled. "So let me make sure I got this right. Our job is simply using our magic to draw a crowd to some rundown theater?" Gray asked. "Yep! Natsu'll impress the crowd with his fire breathing, you'll make amazing ice sculptures, Erza will requip into different armor, and (Y/n) here will use whatever magic she wants to use. Then I'll have Lyra sing a song that'll melt their hearts" Lucy said. "People are gonna come from miles around" you said. "If I ever finish my novel, I'm sure it would make a great play" you said. "Yes! This is gonna be my big chance to learn all I can about the stage!" You said, as stars appeared in your eyes. "Whoa" Gray said as all of you stood in front of the building. "Pretty classy huh?" Happy asked. "Let's go!" Lucy said. Suddenly someone appeared from inside the building. "Excuse me, I don't suppose your the wizards from Fairy Tail, are you?" He asked. "Yep!" You said. "Thank you for accepting the job. I can't tell you how grateful I am!" He said. Lucy smiled. "Well, we'll make sure you have a packed house!" Lucy said. "Actually, about that. Unfortunately, I'm in a bit of a pickle right now" he said.

"What?! All of your actors just walked out on you?!" Lucy asked. "Yes. Thank you so very much" Rabian said. You sweat dropped. "Thanks for what?" You asked. "My last few shows have been complete and utter failures. The reviews have gotten so bad the actors are embarrassed to perform in another one of my productions. So they left, just like my wife. But I won't give up on my dreams!" Rabian said. "The theater is in my blood. But this was my last chance to shine! Now I can not redeem myself!" Rabian said. Gray sweat dropped. "Man. I thought actors were the dramatic ones" he said. "I had no choice! The performance has been canceled! Thank you so very much!" Rabian said as waterfalls ran down his face. You looked at him with sorrow. You felt bad that had happened. "You know what they say! The show most go on!" You said.
"Have no fear. We shall perform in your play!" You said as you smiled at him. Lucy and Gray both gasped. "Hey, is she glowing?" Gray asked. "Ah-a-ee-ewe-a-ooh-ah-ooh-kah-Kay-kee-ku-kay-ku-kah-ku-ah-a-ee-ewe-a-ooh-ah" you sung happily. Happy sweat dropped. "That's some warm up ya got there" he said. "Now that I think about it, this sounds like it could be a lot of fun!" Lucy said. "You wanna do it?" Natsu asked. "Aye!" Happy said. "Well, that settles it then. We're not gonna let your dream die, sir" Gray said. Rabian gasped in surprise and his eyes sparkled. "Really?" He asked. "Well, I guess I've got nothing to lose" he said. Then he turned around. "Ugh. What amateurs" he mumbled. Gray sweat dropped. "So, this is when you should be thanking us" he said. "We've only got one week until showtime!" Lucy said. "I am prince Fredrick! And I have come to rescue the princess!" Erza said as she read through the script. "Whoa, I had no idea Erza was such a good actress" you said. "It's like she was made for this part" Happy said. "Man, we can't let her steal the show!" Natsu said. "No way" Gray said. "Aye sir!" Happy said, as he flew in the air passing out flyers for the performance.

"I hate to interrupt, but you've got some fans that are here to see you" Rabian said. "We have fans?" You all asked. "Yo!" Makarov said as he greeted you. A small crowd of people stood in front of the building smiling. There was Makarov, standing next to Yajima, along with some villagers from Gunla island, Master bob from Blue Pegasus, Goldmine, the pirate that had his ship stolen from Erza, Bora, Boze and Sue from The Phantom Lord, Mira, even that giant yellow chicken that was in that group of wizards from the Eisenwald guild. "Whoa! What're all of you doing here?!" Lucy asked. "We wouldn't miss your debut! Now break a leg!" Mira said. "It's been a while since I've seen a play" Makarov said. "I really appreciate the invite, Mocky!" Yajima said.
"Long time no see, how ya doing sweetie?" Bob asked. "I tagged along to heckle you guys" Goldmine said. "Meat! Meat!" The chicken said. "What is this one doing here?!" You asked as you pointed at the giant chicken. You and Lucy sweat dropped as you saw Bora. "The fake Salamander? Didn't expect to see you again" Lucy said. Natsu smiled. "So, watcha been up to, Okar?" Natsu asked. "That would be Bora. After getting a harsh lesson from your celestial dragon slayer magic, (Y/n), I decided to change my ways and give up the life of a model scout" Bora said. You and Lucy gasped. "You don't seriously think anyone's buying that, do you?" Lucy asked. "Why else would I recruit young ladies?" Bora asked. "Well, because you..." you said. "Those two thought that you were doing dirty things with em!" Happy said.
"I'll be out there a rootin' for ya, me beauty!" said the captain. "Thank you for coming all this way" Erza said as she pulled him into a tight hug. "Ar, that hurt" said the captain. "How's Galuna treating ya?" Gray asked. "It's great! I came to say thanks again for saving our village" Lulu said. "Me, too" said the Chief. You and Lucy sweat dropped when you saw Boze and Sue from Phantom. "Excuse me, you're from Phantom Lord, right?" Lucy asked. "Yeah. But (Y/n) really impressed us when she beat up Gajeel" Boze said. Sue blushed and looked away. "So we came to see the show and..." she took out what looked like raw meat on a napkin. "Give you this" she said. "Whoa" Natsu said as he began to droll. "Meat! Meat!" The chicken said. "You do realize it's still raw" Lucy said. Sue blushed and looked away again.
"Well, it's not like I made it for you, girly" she said. "You didn't cook!" Lucy said. "That looks great!" Natsu said. "Not you either!" Sue said as she kicked him into the air. "I made it for the little red doggie" Sue said, as she referred to Happy. "Uppa!" Happy cheered. You sweat dropped. "But he's a blue cat" you said. "So when are you and your friends gonna destroy the moon for us like ya promised?" The Chief asked. You sweat dropped. "Haven't we been over this like a million times, chief?" You asked. "Break a leg!" The crowd shouted. "Thanks we will! Autograph session in the lobby afterwards!" "I'm beat and the curtain hasn't even gone up yet" Lucy said as you and Lucy both laid on the ground.
A crowd of people were lining up to see the play that you and your friends were about to perform. "May I have your attention, please?" An announcer asked from the speakers. "I can't even remember the last time we had a sold out house! Thank you so very much!" "I've never sung in front of an audience this big before" Lyra said with excitement from behind the curtains. "Don't be nervous, you'll blow them away" Lucy whispered to her. Suddenly a buzzing sound went off and the room grew dark. Everyone began whispering to each other excitedly. Then the red curtains came up and Lyra started her song on the piano. "That girl has such a lovely voice" Yajima said. "Simply marvelous" Bob said. Erza stood on the stage. Suddenly she froze, and stood frozen in shock on the stage. "This can't be good" Gray said. "She's totally freezing up" you said.
"She's got a mean case of stage fright" Natsu said. "Hear ye! Hear ye! Oh- my name" Erza said as she looked down, forgetting what her name was in the play. "I'm a prince. I came to save the princess" she said. "Meat gone bad!" The big chicken said. "What a stiff performance" Bora said. "Nah, man. I betcha she's just acting like she's nervous" Boze said. "She must to do that Lamaze Method acting" Sue said. "You're not bright, huh?" Bora asked. Erza's arm shook as she held her sword in the air. "And I wield the power of..." she said. "Oh no she skipped way ahead!" Lucy said. "That line's from a completely different scene!" you said. "Erza's so nervous I'm not even sure if she's breathing" Happy said. "I wield the power 'cause I have ten swords!" Erza said. Erza then sent out flying swords towards the crowd of people.
The captain was blushing. "Bravissimo, me beauty!" He said. "That's different" Goldmine said. "Who knew the theater was such a dangerous place?" Yajima asked. "Isn't it exciting?" Mira asked. "She's falling apart out there, guys!" Happy said. "What should we do?" Gray asked. "Well, were just gonna have to improvise around her and do our best to save the show!" You said. "When do I get to go on stage?" Natsu asked. "Shut your trap!" You shouted. You hung down on a rope that held you off the ground. "Oh, my beloved Prince Fredrick, please save me! I'm held in the terrible clutches of that fiendish brute Seinhat" you said. "So who's this Seinhat guy?" Bora asked. "Beats me" Boze said. Gray walked onto the stage. "I am the great Julius! If you want to save the princess then you will have to cross blades with me!" Gray said.
"Who the heck's this guy?" Someone asked. "Yeah! What happened to Seinhat?!" Someone else asked. "This play makes no sense" said the Chief. "But they're such gifted actors" Lulu said. Erza started shaking. "I challenge you..." she said. Suddenly her face turned blue as she turned around. "To a duel" she said. Gray flinched and sweat dropped nervously. "Whoa, she's completely lost it!" Gray said. "Wait, I've got an idea" you said. You grabbed one of your gate keys. "Open! Gate of the clock constellation! Horologium" you said. "We will fight. Duel. The prince says timidly" the clock said. The entire crowd sweat dropped. "What do you think you're doing?" Gray asked. "The show's dead in the water if brave Prince Fredrick passes out before he duels against the villain" you whispered.
You sweat dropped. "How good of you to come, Great Clock" you said. "The brave prince is in urgent need of a moment's rest" Erza suddenly woke up from inside the cloak. "Finally caught my breath. I'm back!" She said. Erza opened the door of the clock and stood up. Gray generated ice on his left hand. "Meet your doom! My sword of ice!" Gray said. "Uh, very well. I will attack you with... with my ten swords!" Erza said as ten swords appeared behind her. Then the swords shoot towards Gray, and Gray yelped and jumped into the air, trying to dodge them all. "I'm out of here!" Gray said as he ran off the stage. "That's so weak!" "Don't just run off!" People from the crowd shouted. "His fear was so real" Boze said. "It looks like Julius got cold feet" Sue said. "I wonder when Natsu's gonna show" Bora said. You now stood on the ground and bowed to Erza. "Prince Fredrick, thank you for saving me" you said.
Erza got on her knees and held out a hand towards you. "Please, Lady Yanderica, let's get married and have many children!" She said. You sweat dropped. "Like thirty three?" Erza suggested. A crowd member sweat dropped. "You're dropping the gun don't ya think?" A person from the crowd asked. "Well, I'm lost. What's going on?" Asked another person. "These modern plays are pretty surreal?" Makarov asked. "I'm really enjoying it" Yajima said. "Me too. They're brilliant actors" Mira said. Gray suddenly walked back on stage. "The call before the storm shall endeth noweth!" Gray said. "Hey look! Julius is back!" "Is noweth even a word?" "Death awaits thou! Now come forth and charm him, my dragon!" Gray said. "Well that's my cue!" Natsu said as he came out from behind the curtains.
Natsu began to roar like a dragon as she spit fire all over the stage. Happy was pulling the back of Natsu in his dragon costume. "I'm a powerful dragon! I will destroy you all!" Natsu said. "There he is!" Bora and Boze said together. Sue started blushing when she saw Happy. "Red doggie!" She said. Gray turned to Erza. "Let's vanquish this beast!" He said. "Yes! We shall slay it!" Erza said. "You summoned it genius!" "I have no idea what's happening" "I can take care of the dragon! You two get to safety!" You said. "The princess is gonna slay it?" "Thanks! We owe you one!" "Later!" Erza and Gray said as they ran off the stage. "They're leaving her behind?" "Oh! They're eloping" Bob said. "I never knew that Gray was such a player" Mira said. "I never knew he liked boys" Goldmine said. "So... heavy" Happy said as he tried to hold onto the strings that he used to make Natsu fly.
Happy gasped as he dropped him and you screamed. Natsu screamed as he crashed into the floor. You and Lucy both coughed due to all of the dust. Then Lucy looked at her butt and saw that it was on fire. You gasped. "Oh no! I'm on fire! Help me, Gray! I need ice!" Lucy said as she ran toward him. "I'll save ya! Here it goes... ice make..." Gray said as he put his hands together. Erza jumped over him and into the air with her sword. Then Erza slashed her dress and Lucy's pink dress fell off. You gasped in shock. All of the males in the audience blushed like crazy and had hearts in their eyes. "Perverts..." you mumbled. Gray blushed like crazy. "Thank you so very much!" "That hurt!" Natsu said, before blowing fire in every direction. The crowd started screaming. Gray put his hands together, ready to attack. "Geez, would ya cut it out, Natsu?" He asked. Suddenly your golden bull spirit comes out from it's gate key through the floor. "The princess' sister's hot body totally moves me!" He said. "Aw, yeah!" The males said. "Now, now boys" Mira said. "Who said you could just show up and embarrass her?!" You asked as you glared at your celestial spirit. "Sorry, I thought you two were in danger" the bull said. "I promised I'd always protect you, miss (Y/n), but I'll vamoose" he said as he disappeared. You sighed. "My spirits are crazy" you said. "I have no choice. Punishment awaits all of you scoundrels!" Erza said as she grabbed her swords and went towards Natsu. "This is way outta hand!" Lucy said. "Oh man. This is not gonna be good" you said. The entire crowd watched in panic. Suddenly the whole theater began to shake and the building cracked in half and shattered to the ground. "I knew it!" Lucy said. "Oh my stars" Bob said as his head popped out from the pile of rubble. "Why does this keep happening?" Makarov asked. "Mocky, take my advice and retire soon!" Yajima said. "Oh dear me" Mira said. "The curse of the moon is to blame!" Said the Chief. You and Lucy turned around to see the audience cheering. "They loved us! Yes!" You and Lucy laughed.
~One Week later~
"I truly can't believe what a tremendous hit the show's become! Especially with these lousy actors I've got" Rabian said. "come on man. Would you just give us our money already?" Natsu asked. "I can't keep doing three performances a day" Gray said. "Perk up! The show must go on ya lazy bums!" "What's the deal with this guy?" Happy asked. "I'm done. I wanna go home now" Lucy said with tears in her eyes.
