Natsu woke to a demanding growl from his stomach, so he quickly got ready for the day and headed straight to the guild. As soon as he sat down at the bar, he asked Mira for some food - mostly meat. While he waited for his food, the postman came in asking for Natsu. The dragon slayer didn't say anything, knowing that Zeref's curse had to be in that box. The postman laid it down on the stool next to him before making him sign the paper. Natsu looked around the room, looking for who helped the man find him. He spotted Gray smirking at him from the side. With a snarl, Natsu signed the paper and looked inside the box to see what was in it. It was a wig. An icy-blue-colored wig. Natsu quickly closed the box and checked his hair, only to see that it was still its normal color.

Mira set down a giant plate of meat. Natsu wondered where the meat came from because the animal had to have been huge.

He pushed the box away from himself and began to chow down on the tender, juicy meat. When he finished the giant slab of meat, he called out for some more food. When Mira set down the next plat of fruit this time, she paused with widened eyes staring at the dragon slayer in shock. Natsu didn't understand why she was looking at him like that, it's not like he's eating more than normal. That's when he noticed that the whole guild had gone quiet. He paused in his eating to see what was up, but it was a lot more difficult than he remembered it being.

The dragon slayer fell off his stool and bounced - yes, bounced - on the hardwood floor. "What's going on?!" Natsu exclaimed, and looked down at himself. His eyes were just as big, if not bigger, as the last plate of food he had. His body was like a giant, round, beach ball. He didn't feel heavy, he felt as light as a balloon. It made sense when he thought about it, after all, he was still bouncing.

He came to a stop, just like how a balloon would. Once he did, he quickly grabbed the box and ripped it open. Just as the lid opened, the blue wig jumped out and latched onto his head. He did not scream, he'll have you know. It was a very manly EEP!

Natsu grabbed the wig and tore it off his head and glared at it. He felt a cold spot on the top of his head, but he ignored it and stuffed his hand into the box to find the note he knew Zeref had in there. As soon as Natsu touched the note, he saw that his hands were slowly becoming bony and wrinkly. He felt all the blood leave his face. He was starting to become very scared now. This had never happened before. He seems to be getting cursed left and right. He slowly, ever so slowly, turned his eyes back onto the note in his old-looking hands.

'Please let the words themselves not be cursed too,' he thought with dread and began reading.

While you were asleep, I placed a curse on you to make you hungry, but each piece of food you eat will make you grow bigger. The wig is part of the curse. It will make you bold, so I would put that back on if I were you.

Natsu smacked his hand on the top of his hairless head in horror. He patted it for a few seconds in shock and disbelief trying to find at least a single strand of hair, but to no avail. So without any other choice, he grabbed the wig again and put it on, all the while ignoring his guildmates' snickering/cackling.

And finally, the note itself is cursed. As soon as you touched it, your body began to age. It will stop when you are as old as your master. -Zeref

Natsu felt nothing anymore and heard Gray's laughter slow down. He turned to him to see him pointing at him. "H-he make you...fat and OLD!" Gray began to cackle again, falling onto the floor in his mirth.

Natsu threw a fireball at his frienemy, which hit him in the face, but by doing so he shot backward and bounced all over the place, making everyone who had calmed their laughter start-up again, this time louder and harder.

"THIS HAD TO BE THE BEST ONE YET!" Natsu growled at his guild and used fire dragon roar, but not only was he almost burning the guildhall down, he's also flying around like a deflating balloon.

"PLEASE MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"

This was a very short chapter, but funny and that's what counts. :) Anyway, I'm putting all of my stories on hold now. I'll start up again sometime around Easter.

Natsu: Tyler, you're mean... :(

Zeref: No he's not! This one was good! XD

Enj/Dark: I did add the balloon effect to this - just to make it funnier.

Natsu: Let's me rephrase that: you're all evil! DX

Zeref: We're not evil.

Enj/Dark: You're just fun to mess with.

Natsu: AAAAHHHHH!

Zeref: Please review! C:
