The Knight of Fairy Tail

Team Natsu is taking down a group of bandits in a castle. Alice punches a guy in the face and he's sent flying into a wall. Fragrant Olive attached to her left hip

Natsu:"Man, these guys don't put up much of a fight."

Alice kicks a bar stool into another bandit.

Gray:"So who did you losers steal from? Old ladies and little kids?"

Alice:"They are very weak."

A guy tries to hit Alice from behind put she throws her fist up and hits the guy in the face and he falls to the ground.

Bandit:"Don't act like this is over. You'll be sorry. Just you wait."

Bandit:"Yeah, Lord Devon is gonna make you pay."

Happy:"We beat up that jerk a long time ago."

Erza comes down some stairs.

Erza:"I'm all finished upstairs."

Lucy gives Erza a thumbs up.

Lucy:"Sweet. Nice work, Erza!"

A guy tries to get up and run away but something big lands in front of him. He looks up and sees Amayori. She roars at him and he screams like a little girl and turns around and runs straight into Alice.

Alice just flicks him on the head and he falls to the ground.

Alice:"Seems like you haven't learned you lesson."

Alice rubs her foot on the bandit.

Taurus:"Please Teach me a lesson too, mistresses."

Lucy closes his gate.

Lucy:"And a way you go. Bye!"

All the bandits around the room are groaning. 

 

 

The group is now outside the castle. Alice is patting Amayori on the head.

Erza:"Well, that was a waste. I was hoping they might be a challenge."

Natsu:"Oh, I wanna fight some more!"

Gray:"I know how you feel, but save it for the next job."

Natsu looks to Alice.

Natsu:"Alice take me on one of your Council missions. I always hear you fight a bunch on those missions."

Alice:"No."

Natsu:"Awww, why not!"

Alice:"I'm on those mission because of you half the time!"

Amayori laughs.

Happy holds up a gem he found.

Happy:"Check out this gem I got. Pretty cool, don't you think?"

Lucy panics.

Lucy:"Stealing from thieves is still stealing!"

Happy looks to the side.

Happy:"Hey, isn't that Loke over there?"

Every turns and sees Loke a little ways from them and they all head over to him.

Loke:"What's up, guys?"

Natsu:"Just beating bad guys and being awesome."

Gray:"Same old, same old."

Lucy walks up and Loke freaks out.

Lucy:"I'm glad we ran into you. Thanks so much for--"

Loke interrupts Lucy.

Loke:"Sorry, but I better hit the road. So long!"

Loke runs away.

Lucy:"What is that guy's problem?"

Gray:"I don't know what you did, but you really freak him out."

Natsu:"Yeah, he avoids you like the plague."

Alice:"That just Lucy being Lucy."

Happy:"Burn."

Lucy:"What's that supposed to mean!"

Alice just shrugs her shoulders.

Lucy:"Well, it's not my fault he's crazy!"

The group heads over to a cliff and looks at the castle. 

Gray:"Guess we might as well head home."

Lucy:"I dunno. I was thinking since we finished our job early for once, what do you say we stop by a spa and take it easy?"

Alice eyes glow with stars.

Alice:"Yes!"

Erza:"Lucy."

Lucy goes tense. 

Lucy:"Yes, ma'am?"

Erza:"I think that's a fine idea."

Lucy sighs in relief; So do Natsu and Gray.

Alice looks to Amayori.

Alice:"Head home, I'll see you soon."

Amayori roars and she flies away.

 

 

 

The group arrives at Hosenka Village and they head to a spa house. The girls go to the girls Spa and the boys to to theirs.

Lucy:"I don't get it? Why is Loke so afraid of me?"

Erza and Alice stand up behind Lucy.

Erza:"Nice moon tonight."

Lucy turns around and sees Alice and Erza still in their armor. Their armor sparkles in the moonlight.

Alice:"The bath's nice too."

Lucy:"You're both bathing in your armor!"

Erza:"I'm more relaxed with it on."

Alice:"I feel much more safe wearing it."

Lucy:"Really? Doesn't it feel kind of weird?"

Erza:"Now, that you mention it, it does. I may need to reconsider my definition of relaxation."

lucy:"Yeah, I don't think taking it easy is either of your strong points."

Erza requips and now she's naked.

Lucy:"Wow! You look just as awesome without your armor!"

Erza:"Is that so! Then perhaps I should walk around the guild like this."

Lucy:"Uh."

Alice:"I think not."

Erza:"That was a joke."

Lucy:"Right."

Erza turns to Alice; she's still wearing her armor.

Erza:"Come on ALice, the water's fine."

Alice looks hestient and then sighs after a few seconds. A golden glow covers Alice and she requips her armor away and sh'es now naked.

Lucy:"Wow!"

Erza:"I know right."

Alice blushes and sits down in the water.

 

 

After the bath.

Natsu is wearing some panajams and he's holding a couple of pillows.

Natsu:"Let's get this party started!"

Happy jumps up holding a pillow.

Happy:"Aye!"

Gray props himself up.

Gray:"Oh, come on. I'm trying to sleep here. Why don't you take your party outside?"

Natsu:"It's a sleep over! You know what that means, right? You gotta bust out your pillow fu, or are you too scared?"

Gray:"Of you? Yeah, right."

Alice, Erza and Lucy enter the room. Alice is wearing ehr armor again. Erza and Alice both have pillows under their arms.

Erza:"My arsenal is equipped with only the most powerful pillows."

Lucy:"Most powerful?"

Alice:"This doesn't seem relaxing."

Natsu:"What ever Erza, You're going down!"

Gray:"Grow up, you guys."

Natsu throws a pillow at Erza but she jumps away and it hits Gray in the face.

Gray gets angry and he stands up.

Gray:"You're in for it now!"

Gray looks down and notices a bunch of pillows.

Gray:"Oh, would you look at all these pillows?"

Gray picks up a pillow and throws it and it hits Natsu in the face.

Alice is off to the side watching all of this.

Gray:"You're next, Erza!"

Gray throws the pillow at Erza and she catches it.

Erza:"Not too shabby."

Lucy laughs and she rolls up her sleeves.

Lucy:"Ok, I guess I'll join in too."

Three pillows fly at her and they hit her out of the room.

Alice:"Ouch!"

Gray, Natsu, Happy, and Erza all yell and throw Pillows at each other. Alice is off to the side and she sweat drops.

Alice:"This is getting out of hand. Guys, I think you should-"

Alice is hit in the face with three pillows and she falls to the ground with swirls in her eyes. Smoke rises from her face.

Alice:"Points made."

Alice's head falls back and she passes out.

 

 

The next day at the Fairy Tail guild.

Natsu and Gray are butting head and growling at each other.

Elfman:"What's with the two of them?"

Mira:"Evidently, they both were hurt during a pillow fight after their last job."

Elfman:"If they're that banged up, then those pillows must have been full of bricks."

Gray:"It was just a pillow fight. What were you getting so worked up about?"

Natsu:"'Cause I give everything 100%!"

Gray:"Oh, like when you 100% lost?"

Natsu:"I was awesome! You're the one who lost!"

Gray and Natsu look to Lucy.

Gray/Natsu:"Lucy, I won the pillow fight, right?"

Lucy turns around and gives them an Erza and Alice like glare.

Lucy:"Put a sock in it."

Both Gray and Natsu freak out.

Natsu/Gray:"We're sorry. We'll be quiet now."

Mira:"Wow. I thought only Erza and Alice were the only ones who could keep those two in check."

Elfman:"She's a real man."

Natsu and Gray walk away, despondent.

Happy walks up to Lucy.

Happy:"What's wrong? You seem like you're in a bad mood."

Lucy:"Deal with it. I'm always like this."

Lucy eats a spoonful of her stew.

Happy:"You still mad at me about that Plue thing?"

Lucy:"You've gotta be kidding me. You think I'm petty enough to get hung up on some prank?"

Lucy sighs.

Lucy:"Look, I'm sorry. I just have a lot on my mind right now."

Happy:"Hey, you can always talk to me!"

Lucy:"I'll pass. Thanks anyway, though."

 

 

Alice is back home and she's in the bath. She's covered in bubbles ands he lowers herself more into the bath.

Alice:'It's been weeks since I've been able to truly relax.'

Alice buts a hand on her guild mark.

Alice:'But I feel like somethings wrong.'

Alice closes her eyes.

Alice:'It's not...my... problem.'

Alice falls asleep.

 

 

The next morning everyone is gathered around Loke.

Natsu:"You're a celestial spirit?"

Happy:"No way, really?"

Loke rubs the back of his head.

Loke:"Sorry I didn't tell you before."

Natsu:"Ah-Hah! So that must be why it felt so weird whenever we switched bodies, huh?"

Loke:"Yeah, I guess so."

Alice blinks in surprise.

Alice:"I missed so much last night."

Gray:"Gotta say, I'm surprised I never caught on to you."

Natsu:"How come you're not a cow, or a horse, or a crab? You're just a dude."

Loke:"Virgo has a human form too. It's not like we're all animals."

Natsu:"You say that but I've seen her turn into a gorilla!"

Loke:"She's not really a gorilla."

Lucy:"Loke here is actually a lion spirit."

Natsu:"Seriously?"

Happy:"A lion's like a grown-up cat, right?"

Loke:"Yep, you got it."

Lucy:"Don't lie to him!"

Happy climbs onto Loke's shoulder and drools on him.

Alice:"Ew."

Happy:"You're the coolest spirit ever."

Gray:"Shouldn't you be resting up back in the celestial world right now?"

Loke:"I'm doing a lot better than I was. I just wanted to come say hi. Well, that and I couldn't wait to see Lucy again."

Lucy slightly blushes. 

Happy:"He loves you."

Lucy:"Shut it, cat, or you're gonna get hurt."

Loke then grabs Lucy, princess style and carries her away.

Loke:"Excuse us. We need to have a little chat about our future together."

Lucy:"What are you doing? Put me down!"

Natsu:"Aw man, I wish I had a celestial spirit."

Happy:"What kind of thing would it be?"

Natsu:"A dragon, duh! 'Cause then I could practice my magic on it!"

Happy:"Yahoo!"

Lucy:"You don't summon spirits just to practice your magic on 'em!"

Loke:"That's right. You summon 'em when you need some loving."

Alice:"This is getting weird!" 

Lucy:"I think you'd better go back now."

Lucy holds up Loke's gate key.

Lucy:"You've gotta be careful 'cause you're not up to full strength yet."

Loke then grabs something from his pocket.

Loke:"I got you something."

Loke holds out five tickets.

Loke:"Here you go."

Lucy:"What are those?"

Lucy grabs the tickets and looks at them.

Loke:"They're tickets to this awesome beach resort. You did so much for me, it's the least I could do."

Everyone:"The beach?"

Alice gains stars in her eyes as she grabs her ticket.

Alice:"A vacation!"

Gray:"I've never even been to a place like that before.

Lucy, Natsu and Happy start to "Dance"

Loke:"I already gave Erza her ticket. I hope you guys have a good time."

Alice hugs her ticket to her chest and she dances around.

Alice:"Vacation! Vacation!"

Alice then realises what she's doing and she stops and clears her throat.

Alice:"You guys saw nothing."

Erza:"Come on, chop-chop. No lollygagging."

Everyone looks to Erza and she's already packed for the trip.

Erza:"Now, hurry, or I'll leave you behind."

Gray/Lucy:"So much stuff!"

Natsu:"All right, I'm ready to go right now. Bring on the beach!"

Happy:"Yeah, let's go!"

Gray:"I still need to pack."

Alice:"Me too!"

Gray:"Natsu, just hold your horses, will you?"

Alice:"I've been waiting for a vacation for so long! I'm gonna soak up so much sun!"

Alice giggles like a little girl.

Natsu:"Wow, you sound like a girl!"

Alice gains a tick mark and she punches the top of Natsu's head.

Alice:"I am a girl!"

Erza walks over to Lucy.

Erza:"Are you packed yet? We're about ready to leave."

Lucy:"You know something? I was thinking. If I was ever in his situation, and I had accidentally caused somebody here to get hurt or worse, I'd be just as torn up about it as he was. But I wouldn't hold on to the guilt, 'cause I know my friends would be there for me."

The others walk up.

Lucy:"If I ever needed to talk, there's always someone here at Fairy Tail. We're really lucky, you know?"

Erza:"Couldn't have said it better myself."

Lucy looks to the others and smiles.

Natsu:"Come on! What's the hold-up? Let's get going!"

Happy:"Aye!"

Alice:"I still need to pack!"

Gray:"I can't wait to get to the beach and soak up some rays."

Erza:"Me too. Whan an unexpected treat this'll be."

Alice:"And Finally it'll be something normal for once."

Erza:"Now let's have some fun."

Everyone:"Aye, sir!"
