Chapter One: Story Time with Mira

It was not a normal day at Fairy Tail it was quite, no one was fighting, and most of the guild was either not there or just sitting there drinking and talking, sure to most guilds this looked normal but at Fairy Tail it looked like something was wrong. The lack of good quests was the cause of the guilds boring state and the fact that the biggest storm magnolia has seen in years was hitting but then again a little rain never stopped our resident fire dragon slayer from being destructive and having fun yet there he sat at the bar with his exceed happy and his head down to depressed to start a fight and not interested enough to go on a mission.

"What's wrong Natsu?" Mirajane asked walking over to him from behind the bar

"I'm bored" he wined

"Were all bored stupid" Grey said sitting down next to him

"Natsu's head popped up you wanna go, Droopy draws" Natsu asked

"Not really" Grey said bluntly and put his head down

"Me either" Natsu said joining grey

"Oh my I think something's wrong with you two"

"Aye" Happy added

"What's wrong with them" Lucy asked sitting on the other side of Natsu

"I guess there really depressed" Mira said

"Well I don't blame them, all this rain is really gloomy"

Suddenly Juvia raced to Grey's side

"Juvia Swears the rain is not her fault" trying to convince grey (her love) that she didn't make the rain

"Relax no one is blaming you" Grey said not even looking at her

Mira looked at her five friends Grey not with his head down not pretending to be all cool and he still had all his cloths on, Natsu not his usual hyper and destructive self, Lucy not cheery and just looking out the window at the rain, happy was gnawing on a fish but even he seemed a little sad and finally Juvia crying over Grey for no reason, ok so she's normal but still something had to be done

"Hey how about I read you guys a story" Mira asked

"mmm? What story? Lucy asked

"I don't know" Mira said picking up a large book "One from here"

"Fairy Tales are boring" Natsu complained "the characters are never interesting"

"aye" happy added

"Well if then?" Mira thought "I know how to make the characters more exciting Mira said smiling "In fact I think you'll love these characters"

"Ok fine" Natsu said

And the group gathered around to hear Mira's story.

Mira opened the first page and began to read

"Once upon a time"
