Outcast (Fairy Tail X Reader)

4

(E/n)'s POV

It has been two weeks now since we officially joined Fairy Tail. (Y/n) seems to have started getting comfortable here. I see her flinching or freaking at times though. But, other than that, she seems to be fine. She hasn't gotten any unnecessary attention and no one seems to be on her case. She had also improved on her (M/t) Dragon Slayer Magic. She isn't on par with Natsu or Gajeel, but she had gotten stronger. And happier.

Reader's POV

I went up to Lucy as she was looking at the job request board. The board has slowly been getting more flyers in it since two weeks ago. Macao said that it was because over half the guild was missing for seven years. And they have returned so all is well.

"Translate this phrase?" I read on of them and looked at Lucy. It seemed easy enough.

"Oh no. Not one of those again." Lucy sighed.

"What do you mean, again?"

"We took a job like that once. I ended up in Lucy's body and she was in mine."

I turned around and nodded a bit at Gray. "Was it only you two?"

He shook his head. "No. Natsu, Erza, Happy, and Loki were involved as well."

"Loki?" I asked. I haven't met a Loki yet, I don't think.

"Oh. That's a long story." Lucy sighed. "I'll tell you later."

How about this one?" Natsu said. "We have to catch some dude who's going to a ball, it looks like. That's a strange place to go if you're trying not to be seen."

Erza nodded. "Sounds easy enough. (Y/n) can come along and get a taste of her first job."

"What?" I said. I knew I was a part of the guild, but I don't know if I should be taking a job yet. What if I messed up or something?

"Yeah. Great idea. The ball's not until next Saturday. She'll be able to practice some more until then." Natsu smiled and took down the poster. "It's ours now."

"Well, Natsu." Lucy said. "If we're going to a ball, we should probably get ready for it. Like, learning how to dance."

"Oh.." Natsu said. "I don't wanna dance though."

"You're gonna have to if we're going to catch this guy." Gray said.

"As if you know how to dance." Natsu said.

"And you do?" Gray countered.

"Not yet, no." Natsu said. "But I bet I'm still better. And when Lucy teaches me, I'll be one hundred times better then you."

"I would say I don't know how to dance either, but I don't really want to learn." I whispered to Wendy.

"I know how you feel." She whispered back.

"Well," Erza said. "Let's go get started outside."

Lucy nodded. "Okay. C'mon Natsu. Dancing isn't that hard."

"I hope so." I muttered and followed them outside.

~~~~~~Timeskip! Brought to you by fish!~~~~~~

"I'm not to wear dresses though." I said to Lucy as Cancer did my hair.

"Why not?" Lucy asked. "You look adorable."

"I've never really worn one before, though. Looks like you can easily trip." I picked up a part of the (f/c) dress, partially out of boredom, partially to see how it felt.

"You'll be fine out there." Lucy said. "Don't worry."

"It's not that." I said. "You said the man we're after can mimic your magic, right?"

Lucy nodded. "Yeah. But most likely one of us will end up with him. I heard your magic is pretty powerful."

"I've barely been training, though." I said.

"Natsu told me a few things he found out while teaching you. You seem in more control of it then you let on." Lucy said.

"All done." Cancer said and stepped back. "What'd ya think, baby?"

"It looks great." Lucy smiled. "Thanks Cancer."

I nodded. "Thanks." It was still weird talking to Celestial spirits like Cancer and Plue. Plue I actually didn't mind. He was a cute little fella. But Virgo was kind of weird. She keeps asking Lucy to punish her. Why would you want that? And Lucy introduced me to Loke. The one Natsu switched bodies with. He was pretty cool. He's known as Leo the Lion in the Celestial World. Pretty awesome that he is a member of Fairy Tail.

"Come on, the boys will be waiting." Erza said from outside the tent thing we were in.

"Yeah." Lucy said. "Let's go."

I nodded and followed Lucy out to the large ballroom. I'm not kidding. It was huge! There were couples dancing on floating platforms above everyone. I didn't want to get on one of those.

"Look they're the boys." Wendy said and pointed through the crowd.

It was surprising to see Natsu and Gray in a suit. Well, for me it was. I usually saw Gray with no clothes. And Natsu didn't seem like someone who'd wear a fancy suit.

"Let's go to them." Lucy said.

I nodded. "Good idea."

"I hope no one proposes to us while we're here." Erza said. "We're beautiful, that's a given."

"What?" I turned to look at her.

"I bet, hope she's kidding." Wendy said.

I nodded. "Let's try to stick together."

Wendy nodded. "Yeah. That's a pretty good idea. Do you think there's a chance someone will ask one of us to dance?"

I shrugged and headed to a table up against the far wall. "Maybe. It's very likely some people brought they're kids along."
