Switched

The Scroll

A/N: Hii! This idea was inspired by some fan art I saw on Pinterest which I've used for the cover art (by @boz_kun) so I hope you like this short story! It's only gonna be a few chapters long :>

"Natsu found it in his pocket, it was just kinda laying there and we thought it would be best to keep it away from the enemies." Lucy explained as the guild questioned Team Natsu about the odd looking scroll. It was written in a language the group was unfamiliar with. Levy had attempted to decipher it but to no avail.

"Personally I say it'd be best to not read it aloud. After what happened last time we encountered a strange spell." Erza shuddered slightly recalling the events of the Changeling incident. The decision was unanimously accepted, none of them wanted to experience that ever again.

The rest of the day went by relatively averagely, with the occasional brawl here and there but that was the usual for Fairy Tail. During an aggressive match between Grey and Natsu, one of the mahogany tables that lined the guildhall had been hurled in the direction of the bar.

Unbeknownst to the members of the guild, the table had knocked into the cursed scroll, leaving it hung open. Too busy caught up in the fighting, nobody had noticed the yellowish mist secreting from the parchment..

That same night all the guild members had left to their respective homes as usual. Natsu and Happy tagged along side the celestial mage deciding to sleep in her apartment. Lucy, being too tired and slightly too drunk to say no allowed them to follow along.

As soon as the trio arrived Lucy slumped onto her bed, falling asleep almost instantaneously. Natsu and Happy were no different finding rest upon the blonde's soft couches.

The light beamed through the windows, waking Lucy from her beauty sleep. Her head was pounding likely from a hangover. She didn't remember much about yesterday, but all she wanted was some medicine.

She stumbled into her bathroom and rubbing her eyes she sifted through her medicine cabinet finally pulling out her pills. She gulped them down dry as she was too tired to pour a glass of water alongside them. Closing the cabinets, her eyes were blurry as she turned on the shower, reluctantly pulling off her clothes. They felt strangely tight but she paid no mind to this, stepping into the steamy shower.

"WHAAAATTTTT?!" a scream came from inside the bathroom waking a snoring Natsu. The dragon slayer stretched, trying to relax his oddly tightened muscles. "Happy, you awake bud?"

That wasn't his voice? But he definitely said it.. "Is it just me or did the couch get bigger overnight?" He questioned, ignoring his strange sounding voice. "I dunno" Happy yawned.

"NATSU WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON." Natsu plugged his ears from the yells. "Why was this guy screaming at him so early in the morning. Matter a fact why was this guy in Luce's apartment? He looked up at the tall boy, squinting his eyes.

He audibly gasped. "LUCY? IS THAT YOU?" he yelled back, completely stunned. He stood up to get a closer look but when he stood he realised he had shrunk and his back was..really aching.

"Could you PLEASE cover. Up!" Lucy shielded her..his? Eyes. Natsu looked down, his eyes widened as he saw his chest completely on display underneath his vest, which was draping off his petite build.

"SINCE WHEN DID I HAVE BOOBIES?" He screamed. "Natsu. I hate to admit it but.. I think we've switched genders?" Natsu cocked his head stunned. He ran to the bathroom without hesitation.

His reflection showed a smaller girl, around Lucy's old height, his lips and eyes were bigger sizeable to the longer eyelashes he now sported. His hair now reached down to just below his shoulders and was much more silky than it had been.

However along with this, to Natsu's dismay, his arms and body in general were very slim. How was he supposed to beat up Gray like this? That thought provoked another terrifying one. *What if Gray saw him like this?!*

Lucy walked through the door to examine her own new appearance. She was much taller and broader, her arms more muscular and her stomach toned with abs. Her hair was significantly shorter and cut to a more fluffy pixie cut. Her eyes were narrowed contrasting Natsu's wide bright eyes. "I don't wanna be a smelly boy." She mumbled in a pained voice.

"WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO US?" the two cried out.
