Chapter 3

"I DO NOT own Fairy Tail or THE characters" ^.^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Lucy was getting to the bottom of her mysterious pink haired boy and his blue cat somewhere in another land called the Kingdom of Fiore in a town called Magnolia resides several wizards in a guild.

The name of this guild was called Fairy Tail. Now this was not your ordinary guild. This was a guild filled with amazingly strong wizards, whose bonds of friendship and love surpassed no other. In fact, it is those very bonds that can cut across time and make the impossible possible.

"Ugh," sighed Natsu as he let his head plop down onto the bar.

"What's wrong Natsu?" questioned Mirajane while serving him a plate of food. "You don't really look so good." Mira said worriedly. Mirajane was one of the caretakers of Fairy Tail. She helped around the guild hall, kept track of the jobs that the wizards went on, cooked and was the go to person when you were brand new to the guild. She also happened to be an S-class wizard and nobody, I mean NOBODY messed with Mira when she was serious.

"Geehee, he looks like some kind of love sick dog...pretty pathetic if you asked me," snickered Gajeel looking past where he was sitting with Levy to remark on Natsu's demeanor.

"Eh...." responded Natsu talking around the food that he had put in his mouth. "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU IRON EATING FREAK!? COME SAY THAT TO MY FACE!" screamed Natsu itching to pound someone's face in and let out all the pent up frustration he was feeling.

Natsu stood up from his chair and walked over to Gajeel just to show him exactly how serious he was feeling right now.

"Oi! Natsu, what the hell is going on with you?" replied Gray from across the bar where he was sitting next to Juvia and Happy.

"Gray-sama looks so beautiful when he gets all riled up." Juvia said looking dreamily at Gray with hearts in her eyes, envisioning a future with tiny little Gruvia babies with stunning blue-black eyes.

"She's in looooove..." snickered Happy looking at the water mage who was staring dreamily at Gray. "Except he looks to be more interested in Natsu than in you, Juvia." Happy said around his fish, happily munching on the deliciousness that he was consuming.

"WHAT?!" yelled Juvia. "A love rival!" she said threateningly looking as if she was going to hit Natsu with some magic right then and there.

"There, there Juvia-san Happy was only joking." stated Wendy as she walked over to where Juvia was, smiling at the water mage reassuringly.

"Yes Juvia, we all know that Gray barely pays attention to you so you have nothing to worry about." stated Charle flying over to where Happy was eating his fish.

"Charle! That was not very nice!" said Wendy as Juvia ran over to where Gray was standing apparently not even listening to what Charle said anyway.

"Gosh, you guys are so loud I am trying to read here and all the noise is messing with my focus." mumbled Levy looking up from the book that she was so engrossed in.

"Yup looks like there is going to be a fight all right." commented Lily casually knowing that pretty soon the magical sparks where going to fly between Gajeel, Natsu and Gray.

"YOU WANT SOME OF ME TOO?! YOU SQUINTY EYED PERVERT!" yelled Natsu and you could tell that he was definitely in the mood for a fight today and he was determined to get it.

"WHO YOU CALLING A SQUINTY EYED PERVERT YOU SLANTY EYED FIRE FREAK!" yelled Gray menacingly as he went to stand next to Natsu and Gajeel in preparation for the fight.
