An hour passed by as the couple did a mix of chatting, kissing, and heavy petting. However night had come and they parted ways reluctantly. On the way back to her cabin Natsu began to dread what came next, how was she going to explain everything to everyone else. Some of them will be fine, but what about master, Gajeel, Grey, and Laxus. It will be like pulling teeth with those idiots. Natsu let out an exacerbated sigh. Well first things first, she'll need to talk to Happy tonight.

Natsu walked into the cabin to see Happy with his usual fish. "Welcome home!" happy said between bites.

Natsu slowly lowered herself onto her bed, and cringed when she remembered how rough it was. How had she ever slept on this thing? "Hey Happy... How would you feel if I stayed this way?" Natsu began slowly.

Happy put down his fish and walked over to Natsu. "is there no cure?" Happy asked.

Natsu sat up, "I... well don't think I want one. What if I wanted to stay this way?"

Happy looked at Natsu clearly confused. "Why would you want to be a girl?"

Natsu sighed, she knew this was going to be difficult. "I just do!" Natsu shouted. She looked down disappointed in herself. "Sorry Happy, I've been thinking a lot lately, and well I really like being this way. I'm not sure why, it just feels right."

Happy was even more confused. "So your saying you want to be a girl?"

Natsu face-palmed, she loved Happy but he wasn't exactly the brightest. "Yes! I want to be a girl." She just came out and said it as blunt as she could.

Happy just stood there for a moment thinking. "Oh, ok." Happy just shrugged and started to walk back to his fish.

Natsu wasn't sure what she expected but it wasn't that. "So you don't care at all?"

Happy sat back down at his dinner. "Why would I? You're still Natsu."

Natsu smiled, that was exactly what she wanted to hear. Happy really was a great friend. She got up and walked over to Happy and hugged him, smothering him slightly in her cleavage. "You're a great friend, I guess I'll have to get you more fish tomorrow."

"Aye sir!" Happy shouted happily.

The next morning after a quick excursion back to the lake for more fish Natsu stood before her bed. Some of the outfits Erza and Lucy had picked out for her were laid out and she was trying to decide which to wear. There was a blouse with a skirt and a cute belt that she really liked, but she wasn't sure if it was too girly. What would the boys say if they saw her in something like that, but at the same time she really wanted to wear something that reflected her recently freed femininity. "Screw it!" she grabbed the clothes and started to put them on.

She only had a dingy small mirror that she used to shave in front of, but she really liked how her outfit looked. She just couldn't decide how many button to button on the blouse. At one level her breasts were effectively on display, which a small part of her really like the idea of. At the next she had a ton of cleavage, definitely sexy. Then the next you could see just the very top corners of her breasts. She after much deliberation, that Happy watched and barely stifled his laughter through, decided on the second one. Generous cleavage, but not too much. She looked herself up and down one more time and smiled, she had truly never been so happy.

"Alright off we go Happy." She said as she went for the door and put on some low heeled sandals Lucy had picked out.

Happy still laughing a little barely mustered an "Aye sir." before they headed out the door.

Natsu walked confidently towards the guild hall, or well, guild windmill anyway. Men gazed at her, which was still a bit creepy, but at the same time made her feel more confident. Her confidence suddenly bottomed out when she saw the master and Laxus in the distance walking into the guild. How could she explain this, and how would she deal with master being weird and creepy. A soft voice spoke up behind her "Natsu? Is that really you?" Lisanna asked, clear shock in her voice.

Natsu turned around. "Uhh, yeah it's me..." She trailed off not sure what else to say.

"You... look different from yesterday." Lisanna was clearly still befuddled.

Natsu glanced from side to side. "Well you see I... I decided... that I want to stay this way..." She said sheepishly.

"Really?! No way!" Lisanna shouted completely blown away. "Crap... you make a cuter girl than me!" She said deep in thought biting her lower lip.

"She does make a super cute girl doesn't she." Lucy suddenly appeared behind Natsu.

"She? Wait, you're actually going to be a flame princess?" Gray said as he and Juvia showed up.

Natsu's eyes narrowed as she stared bullets at Grey. "Screw off lame brain." She said bluntly with a bit of hurt in her eyes.

Grey realized this was not a joke and stood there for a second collecting his obliterated thoughts. Then after another few seconds just said: "Wow... I'm... sorry I didn't know." He just trailed off. He then just walked off mechanically not sure what had just happened.

Juvia just looked Natsu up and down. "Don't think you will be getting Grey, he's mine!" She said as she followed the still completely confused Grey.

Natsu smiled, Juvia telling her to not go after Grey was kind of affirming in a weird way. "Don't worry that will absolutely never happen." She giggled.

"I have to go tell Mirajane about this, she is going to be thrilled!" Lissana ran off toward the guild.

"You look very cute in that outfit." Lucy said as her gaze lingered on Natsu's cleavage.

Natsu blushed. "Thanks."

Happy floated down between the two, glanced from Lucy to Natsu and back. "She lllllllllllllikes you!"

They both glared at Happy "Stop rolling the L so much!" Lucy yelled.

The group headed into the guild where Lisanna and Mirajane were talking loudly about Natsu. "What?!" Mirajane yelled. A creepy smile spread over her lips. "I need to go back to my room, to... get a few things." She giggled mischievously. She then turned towards the door of the of the guild hall where Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had just entered. Her jaw hit the floor as she saw Natsu in a skirt of all things. She ran over to Natsu. "This is going to be so fun!" She said excitedly to a somewhat confused Natsu. "I'll be right back."

"Uh... ok..." Natsu began to say before she noticed that Mirajane was already gone. "That was, interesting." She glanced at Lucy who was also confused.

"And who might this girl be?" Master seemed to quickly take notice of the very cute pink haired girl. "A new recruit is it?" He smiled.

"No, master, it's me... Natsu." She said very aware how his stare was entirely different from before her transformation.

He stared for a few minutes completely befuddled. Laxus walked over and sniffed the air around Natsu. "Yup, it's him..." He slimply shrugged.

"Not him, her..." Natsu began to say, but the Master talked over her.

"What crazy shit did you get yourself into this time! This boy will be the death of me!" Master yelled.

Natsu began to object again when Gajeel walked over. "Meh, whatever as long as he is still plenty strong that's all the matters."

Natsu began to fume. "I'm not a he!" She yelled as the whole guild hall went quiet. "I'm a girl." She said noticing everyone staring at her.

"Uhh, ok I guess it messed with his head too." Gajeel looked down at Natsu.

Suddenly flames began to erupt from Natsu. She looked up at Gajeel with tears in her eyes. "That's it! Fire dragon wing attack!" She yelled as flames erupted from her arms and smashed into Gajeel sending him flying outside through a wall.

Gajeel stood up dazed and grabbed his chest feeling a great deal of pain. "Well damn, he still packs a wallop that's for sure." He said while cracking his knuckles. "If you wanted a fight you just had to ask, man." He looked up and was startled to see a blindingly fast Natsu standing in front of him.

Natsu grabbed Gajeel's shirt and lifted him off the ground. "I'm not a man." She said as let him go and jumped up into a massive headbutt. Gajeel didn't have time to make his skin iron so he took the hit full force and he fell back to the ground unconscious.

Natsu turned around and looked into the guild through the hole she had just made. "Anyone else confused." She said in a low voice. Everyone stood speechless. "Good." She walked over to a table and sat down with a huff.

The master stood amazed at what he had seen. Natsu's power had clearly exploded since the transformation. He watched Natsu as lucy came over and put her hand on Natus's back comforting her. Makarov put his head in his hands, great now he had yet another strong willed woman to deal with.

Laxus on the other hand smiled, his interest was piqued, he wanted to fight her. He looked over at Natsu whom was still fuming, and thought that maybe he should wait a bit though as he walked out of the guild hall.

Lucy glanced over at the unconscious Gajeel and giggled as she comforted Natsu. "Good to see things haven't changed too much. You still make things fun and crazy around here."

Natsu smiled at her and leaned in to kiss her. Yet again the whole guild went silent as they watched the two kiss. Lisanna dropped the mugs she was carrying while she was filling in for Mirajane. "Wait, what!" She screeched as she sat opposite the couple. "Tell me everything, when? Where? How?"

Natsu and Lucy blushed and smiled. Natsu noticed that literally everyone was looking at them totally amazed. She got up and pointed at Gajeel. "Unless you want to look like him you'll mind your business!" She shouted as all her guildmates turned away and began to force conversation. She sat down with a huff and Lucy giggled and put her arm around her girlfriend.

Lucy began to explain the last few days to Lisanna leaving out a lot of the details Natsu would have found embarrassing. "I'm so happy for you two." She stood up. "And to think I thought she was going to be my husband." She giggled as Natsu blushed. "Well you're not exactly my type anymore, and would make a terrible husband looking that cute." Natsu's blush deepened. "Oh, before I go, unless you want to be part of a Mira fashion show you better get going." She winked at Natsu then gave her another look. "Although it looks like you might like that kind of thing." Lisanna said as she went back to the bar to pour new drinks.

Suddenly a beaten Gajeel slammed down on the seat opposite Natsu. "Holy shit, you hit way harder than you used to." Gajeel said clearly still dazed. "Anyway, I want to apologize for what I said." He nodded the his head slammed down on the table as he went out like a light.

"Well that was interesting." Lucy said. "Oh! Natsu, I heard that Levy went to the Forest Sea to investigate the stone and find a way to reverse what it did to you."

"Crud, I better go after her, no reason for her to waste her time." Natsu stood to leave. "You coming?" She looked at Lucy and Happy.

"Of course!" Lucy said.

"Aye sir!" Said Happy.

The trio went running out the door and a moment later Mirajane arrived with a stack of clothes. "Alright where is my cute new waitress!" She smiled.
