Fairy Tail's Cupid

Chapter 4

It was late morning when we woke up and Lily and I got up to make lunch having slept through breakfast. Lily stopped me from getting a fish to eat. "What's wrong?" I ask him still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"How serious are you about learning transformation magic?" he asked me, studying me as he did.

"Very! I'm going to win Carla's heart by showing her how hard I can work!" I smile at myself before going for the fish again only to have Lily block me again. 

"Then rule one: No fish'!"

"What?" I screeched back at him.

"As Exceed we have to give up the one food that we cherish above all others while we train. Giving up kiwis was so difficult you have no idea the pain and suffering in store for us." Lily looked down at me now. "If you are serious about learning you must give up eating fish until we are done."

I start to cry but nod my head. For Carla I will do it. "Now what do you want to transform into?" Lily asked me startling me. I look at him confused and he goes on, "You can pick anything at all not just people or large cats. We can go to the library and get the book you will need to study. You have to learn about their bodies before you can transform into them. 

I think for a minute and remember how Natsu was so sure I was a dragon before I hatched. I smiled and asked, "Do you think I could become a dragon?"

He nodded, "It won't be as big as a regular dragon maybe about the size of a horse but yes you could become a dragon."

I smiled, "Then let's get to work!" I cringe as I eat yucky cereal for what is probably the first time. We do exactly as we had planned I 'borrowed' Levy's reading glasses from her room. I'm sure she won't mind. Lily didn't say anything but frowned and did not come into the room. Then we made our way to the guild. 

Everyone turned to see us silent. I turned around to look behind us but no one was there. "What?" I ask. 

Everyone went back to what they were doing and we flew to Mira. "Sorry about that we forgot you weren't with Natsu." Mira apologised for everybody. I frown.

"I'm my own person you know!" I whined and pouted. She just apologised again. Lily and I made our way to the library. When we got inside and saw it was empty I huffed, "I don't want anyone to know that I'm studying. That will show them when I'm done!" I turn to Lily before asking, "Can I transform into more than one thing or is it only one?"

He rubbed his chin for a minute, "Well you could do more than one but it will be hard and will require a lot of studying." 

I nod, "Can you sneak me a sleeping bag and some food every now and again? I don't think I will leave until I'm sure I can do it." His eyes go a little wide but he nods his head. 

This is how the next several weeks of no fish went. I stayed in the library learning everything I could about dragons, humans, and jaguars. I don't know why I picked jaguars but I did. When I was about half way through I had a book on mythical animals fall and hit me on the head. It opened to phoenixes and griffons. So I added one of them too. I am going to learn as much as I could. 

After the first month I was able to transform into two with no issues. I couldn't help the feeling of pride I felt for myself. I then decided I would have to be able to do simple things like fly which is a lot harder as a dragon than when I am normal sized and breath fire because of obvious reasons. 

I was still studying but now I would leave with Lily so that he could help me build an actual house for Natsu and Lucy. I knew Natsu and I know he wants lots of kids. I also know Lucy and I know she likes comfort. So Lily and I worked hard to try to finish in time and after we were done for the day I worked hard studying my transformation magic careful not to forget what I already had learned.
