The front door suddenly burst open, revealing a tall man with silver hair and red eyes standing next to a small boy holding a black cat with round ears. The boy had spiky black hair with a few piercings with the same red eyes as the man next to him.
"Igneel! Grandine! Congratulations!" the man said with his arms outstretched.
"Metalicana! So great to see you little brother! Hey there Gajeel, it's nice to see you. I see you brought Pantherlily with you." The man, Metalicana, and his son Gajeel walked over to see the new baby.

"You jealous Gajeel?" Natsu asked, grinning like an idiot at his cousin. Gajeel smirked before laughing.
"Gihi. Why would I be jealous of a baby? She's so tiny. Besides, I don't like blue hair. It's an unnatural color for hair, almost as crazy and unnatural as your pink head!" (A.N. See what I did there?! GaLe! XD)
"It's salmon you red eyed freak!"
"Bring it on pipsqueak!" and so started yet another fight between the cousins. Little did they know that at this very moment, their fate was being twisted together with another family not to far away. A fate that would change their lives forever.

Lucy Heatfilia, a small girl with blonde hair, waited outside with her lady in waiting/best friend Levy McGarden. Yes, that's right, I said lady in waiting. Lucy Heatfilia was in fact Princess Lucy of Magnolia. Her mother, Queen Layla, and her father, King Jude, were currently inside their friend Macao's castle, awaiting the birth of his son. Macao was the king of a neighboring kingdom, but came to Magnolia for a few days each week.

A wail was heard and Layla came outside to the excited girls.
"You can come in now" she said softly with a warm smile. The girls beamed up at the Queen before dashing in to see the new baby.
"Hiya girls!" said an equally excited Macao, "Come on over". The girls quickly did as they were told and looked at the sleeping boy.
"Levy, Lucy, I want you to meet Romeo."
"Hi Romeo." The girls whispered in sync. And so, on that summer's night, Wendy Dragoneel and Prince Romeo Conbolt were born, sealing the fate of both families and their close friends.

13 years later...

BANG! "Happy birthday Wendy!" The small girl looked around in surprise. Her mom, dad, Natsu, Happy, uncle Metalicana, Gajeel, and Pantherlily were all in the main room of the house with a big cake.
"Wow! Thank you so much everybody!" Wendy's white cat, Carla, came up to her and sat next to her. The blunette picked her up and went over to the table.
"This cake looks amazing! How did you-" before she could say another word, the door burst open and a very short, very old man came in.

The man, Makarov, was obviously drunk. Makarov was the owner of the famous bar/guild called Fairy Tail. Most people called him Master, but some who were stupid enough called him-
"Gramps! What are you doing here?!" Natsu shouted, already amused by the small man.
"Who're you callin' gramps?!"
"Gihi. Who else would he call gramps when no one else here is as old as you!" Gajeel replied, a toothy grin on his face.

"You should learn to respect your elders!"
"Ha! You just admitted it!" Natsu laughed.
"If you act like that, then you'll never get any of the ladies to like you!" he retorted angrily, trying to change the subject.
"Why would we care about what the ladies think?" Gajeel asked somewhat annoyed.
"Love m'boy. You'll never find love!" Gajeel and Natsu broke into laughter, making Makarov's face redder than blood.

"Not only have you disrespected me, but you have also completely blown off love! You will have to learn from your mistake!" The sun disappeared and a dark aura started to form around the short man.

"Because you wear your precious dragon symbol so bodly,

dragons you will become.

In this form you will stay,

until you find the one.

A special person that you'll hold dear,

deep inside of your soul,

one you will do anything for,

because it's your heart that they stole.

Until the day has come when they return your feelings,

the truth will never be spoken.

But on that day you must receive a true love's kiss,

then the spell will be broken.

There was a flash of blinding light and the family was separated. Natsu was at Fairy mountain, Gajeel was at Phantom mountain, and Wendy was at Cait mountain, three of the four mountains surrounding the land of Fiore. Igneel, Grandine, and Metalicana were nowhere to be found. At the three mountains, the Dragoneel's looked around in confusion before letting out a cry in pain. Their blood started to boil and their skin stretched. The ground started to fly away from them. Their sense of smell becoming more distinct, their eyesight became more vivid and colorful, and their ears picked up sounds for miles. They had become dragons.

In Gajeel's place stood a massive, jet black dragon with piercing red eyes and silver rings sticking out of his scales. In Natsu's place stood a giant dragon with onyx eyes. His scaled went from deep red at the head to salmon pink at the tip of his tail. In Wendy's place stood a small dragon encased in beautiful blue scales with deep, dark brown eyes. One look at herself and Wendy fell to the ground, sobbing. Why did all of us have to be punished? Why did Natsu and Gajeel have to be such loud mouth? Why do I have to be SO ALONE?! she thought as she cried.

"Wendy! Calm down! You need to stop crying or you'll cause a flood in the village at the base of the mountain!" Surprised at the sudden voice, the blue dragon stopped crying and looked up to find who the voice belonged to. "To your right Wendy." The girl did as she was told and found her cat, Carla, standing on her hind paws wearing a dress, paws on her hips, a stern yet caring look in her eyes.
"Carla?" Wendy asked in disbelief. The she-cat nodded.
"But, how?!"

"Master sent you away before adding the last part of his speech."
"Speech?"
"Yeah, he could've done that spell without saying all that rhyming stuff, but he wanted to make it dramatic. Basically, he turned me, Pantherlily, and Happy into exceeds, a race of cats that can talk and use a certain magic so they can fly. Your parents and uncle Metalicana were also turned into dragons. They can't turn back until the three of you do, so they flew off to another land until the curse is broken."

The small dragon nodded in understanding before sighing. She wasn't sure how they would be able to do this. Natsu is completely oblivious to all things that have to do with feelings, Gajeel is a stubborn butt, and Wendy had just turned 13. It would be a miracle if all three of them could find love. She would just have to wait and see.
