Hi. I'm youngneez, welcome to my story. I'm new to the site and this is my first ever story, so have mercy. But it will be a short, humorous chapter story, about 5-10 chapters, full of BroTPs and crack Bro TPs. All characters belong to Hiro Mashima btw. Enjoy the story :)
The guildhall was finally peaceful. Macao and Wakaba had dozed off in their drunken stupor, Romeo was reading a book, Alzack and Bisca calmly played a game of Go-Fish with young Asuka, and Warren and Max were having a staring contest. With only them and a couple of nameless drinkers, the guild was eerily quiet, besides small murmurs and tapping feet. Mirajane busied herself by polishing the bar counter, which Master Makarov sat atop cross legged, while downing a very potent beverage with a silly grin on his face.
"All I'm saying, Mira darling, is that you should settle down eventually, instead of focusing on everyone else's love life..."
Mira simply rolled her eyes and sighed, as this is a conversation they often have when no one else is around. "Master-"
Before she could even begin her argument, the large guild doors slammed open, revealing a disheveled and dirty Team Natsu.
"Welcome back guys," Mira smiled. "How was your mission?"
There was a second of silence before all hell broke lose. They all started to argue, minus a blubbering Wendy. Lucy began to yell, pointing at her different team members, blaming them for their lack of a reward.
"We almost had it! The mayor was handing us the reward when these two knuckle heads started fighting. They destroyed the entire town hall and we didn't get our reward!"
"He started it" yelled both knuckle heads at the other.
"You're the one who set fire to my clothes, flames for brains" Gray yelled
Natsu's jaw dropped at the accusation. "It's not like you use them in the first place, you pervy stripper. They would have been on the ground a minute later anyways. Besides, you guys were boring me"
This set them into another screaming match, with Lucy shouting at them both.
Mira then turned her attention to Erza who was giving happy one of the most murderous gazes she has ever given.
"Erza, I'm sorry, please don't kill me" Happy cried. He soared down to Erza's feet begging for forgiveness.
Erza snapped her head to the bawling feline and have him a dirty glare. "You betrayed me Happy! And you gave my cake to that horrid she-cat"
"I'm right here you know" Charle screeched "And it wasn't your cake. It was group cake. For everyone. I simply asked Happy to get me slice."
"Everyone knows all cake is my cake!" Erza yelled back. Before either could reply, Erza lunged at the cats, who dodged by flying through the air.
As Erza pounced, so did Natsu and Gray. All while Lucy squawked and Wendy cried.
"Why are you guys like this..." she weeped
Before Mira had a chance to intervene with the chaotic team, Gajeel stomped in grumbling, covering his ears. Behind him came a tired looking Lily, along with a sobbing Juvia and her trail of tears.
"For the love of Earthland, shut the hell up!" Gajeel boomed. This only caused Juvia to cry harder.
One by one, all of the missing teams began to pour in, each one adding to the increasing volume inside the guild. Eventually, all of the core members, Team Shadowgear, the Thunder Tribe, the other Strauss siblings, and Cana, had returned, yelling and complaining about their teams all at once. Then were even fighting with people who they had nothing to do with, starting more brawls.
"They really know how to interrupt a good day," Mira thought to herself. "They'll destroy the guild at this point if someone doesn't stop them".
"Fairy Tail, please stop!" she yells. Nothing. No one even bats an eye at the barmaid, continuing their fights. After a few more attempts to rail in the crowd, Mira decided it was time for plan B. She transformed into her Satan Soul Take Over and flew to the center of the room. She let go an ear piercing battle cry that finally caught everyone's attention. The tears slowed down, the yells faded, projectiles were placed down, and Lucy let go of Natsu and Gray's heads, which she was prepared to smash together, Three Stooges style.
"Thank you Mirajane" Master said, hopping from his place at the bar, strolling to the center of the guild and climbing onto a table. "Now that you are done disrupting those of us who were enjoying our day, what seems to be the problem?"
"I ask for nothing but a loyal and supportive team who does not back stab and steal cakes" Erza seethed, as Charle scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"I want a team that won't destroy everything and ruin the reward" Lucy complained.
"I don't want to team up with this flammable idiot"
"I don't want to team up with this naked icicle"
"It would be nice to not be afraid for my life during every mission" Wendy whimpered
Gajeel then stepped up, with a still sobbing Juvia on the ground, attached to his leg, like a small child. "I want a partner who cries less"
"Gajeel-kun, that is so mean to Juvia!"
"Quit your water works, rain woman!"
Levy then popped from her hiding place, somewhere near Gajeel.
"I would like more mature teammates"
"We're sorry Levy-Chan! We love you" chorused Jet and Droy. They then proceeded to tackle Levy in a bone-crushing hug to the ground.
"And ones that don't suffocate me"
"I don't want teammates to fawn over me all the time. That shits annoying" Laxus grumpled
Cana then looked up from the barrel she was sitting on. "At least you have a team! I want a team!"
"Me too. I'm tired of being stuck here with the old man. I want to go out on missions with a team!" yelled Romeo, from his seat.
"Warren and I never go on missions anymore. It's like he doesn't even care about us anymore! The spark is gone" cried Max. This earned weird looks from everyone.
Shaking his head of all his brats' nonsense, Master Makarov spoke up."It sounds like you're all sick of eachother" he mused.
"That's exactly it!" replied many of the frustrated mages.
"Well then what are you brats gonna do about it?! " huffed Master
This resulted in silence. Everyone looked around sending passive aggressive, yet questioning glances.
"I have an idea" chirped Mira. "We'll play a little game." She had that devilish look in her eye, that told her she would be the only one enjoying this "game".
Everyone groaned in response to her, as they all imagined what the guild match maker had in mind.
"Hey, hey, hey, hear me out! It'll be fun" she yelled back. Although no one answered her, they all looked up to her, waiting to hear what she had to say.
"I'm going to put your names in this magic hat. I'll pull your names out a couple at a time and those will be your new teams for the next week. You'll go out on some missions with your new team and then we'll see how you feel."
"That's a terrible idea!" yelled out Evergreen. Mira sent her a look that caused the self-proclaimed fairy to shrivel up and retreat, also giving warning to anyone else who dared defy her.
"What's in it for us?" asked Levy
"A break from your team and a nice change in routine." cheered the eldest Strauss.
The mages began looking around, avoiding the she-devil's eyes, sighing, and sucking in their breath. This caused Mira to pout and give into her backup plan.
"And a cash prize to whatever new team completes the most missions" she grumbled, which resulted in happy whispering and a vary of responses.
"I'm all fired up"
"Now you're talking!"
"Rent money, bitches!"
"Gee-hee"
"Oh it's on"
"I still don't think this is a very good idea" murmured Freed.
"Don't be such a pessimist, Freedy! If it turns out good, it's good. If it's disaster, it's a disaster. But this is Fairy Tail. We don't run away from challenges! This is to strengthen our teams and our guild as a whole. And who knows, maybe you'll like your new teams so much, you won't want to switch back" Mira said, stepping up to the table Master Makarov was lounging on.
Mira's pep talk cheered everyone up, every mage chanting the guild's name over and over as Mira set up the magic drawing for the game.
"You brats won't know what you have until it's gone" mumbled Master, under all the commotion.
Everyone was calmed down and seated with their friends, waiting for Mira to begin the drawing. The Exceeds had decided to sit this game out and to look on with Mira and Master. Everyone shushed as Mira mounted the stage. She had what looked like a corny magician's top hat in her hand and a giant smile plastered on her face.
"Alright, so I've just finished entering everyone's name into the raffle into this enchanted hat. When I reach my hand into the hat, a slip of paper will appear in my hand with random names on it, which will be your new teams for tomorrow. Is everyone ready?"
The guild erupted in cheers. Everyone was anxious and excited to get this game started. Maybe it really wouldn't be so bad?
Finally, Mira reached her hand into the magic hat. "The first team is…."
The silence was deafening and the suspense was lethal. Everyone was on the tips of their toes..
"Laxus…."
"Gajeel…."
Most people would not want to be placed on a team with those two brutes, but Freed had both fingers crossed and he silently prayed that he got placed on this team with Laxus. It didn't matter who he was with, as long as Laxus was there. But the odds were not in his favor.
"And Lucy!"
While many exhaled sighs of relief and a few tears slipped from Freed's eyes, Lucy Heartfilia's jaw was dropped and her eyes were wide. She looked over at her two new teammates and they were both scowling. Not because they didn't like Lucy, but because they were just like that. Let's just say Lucy was not looking forward to tomorrow.
As Lucy sat dazed, Mirajane reached her hand back into the hat.
"The next team is Natsu, Juvia, Elfman, and Levy"
"Erza, Cana, Romeo, and Evergreen"
"Wendy, Gray, Bickslow, and Warren"
"Alzack, Freed, Jet, and Max"
"Droy, Bisca, and Lisanna"
For a moment, the whole guild sat around, all either confused, excited or wary.
"Now I've made a board. Get together with your new teammates and pick a team name for the board. We'll use it to keep tally of how many successful missions you complete"
The guild, still silent, stared blankly at Mira. Until the silver haired beauty clapped her hands, then once again, all hell broke loose.
