Watch Out For The Guy You Like!

Just two days had passed since Natsu and Aang's battle. It was storming in Magnolia, and in a certain part of the city stood a worn-down building that housed a suspicious-looking magic shop, with a sign that read 'MAG DRUG'. A pillar stood on either side of the building, a pink heart on one and a yellow skull on the other.
As thunder struck in the background, Juvia stood in front of the door with a serious look on her face. 
"Drip, drip, drop." She muttered to herself. Giving the sign an unsure look, she walked into the shop, the bell dinging as she entered.
There was an odd-looking man at the counter. A wizard dressed in green and red robes, a green wizard-like hat, and what appeared to be goggles, was pouring a pink liquid into a much bigger flask that was a tinted purple. Maneuvering around his long white beard and hair that flowed down his sides, he addressed his latest customer. 
"So you want to get him to notice you, eh?" He inquired. "Well, I have the perfect thing for that."
Juvia sat in the middle of the room looking at the shady wizard. 
"All Juvia wants is for him to gaze in her direction." She said, still looking very serious. After lightning crackled in the back she chanted: "Drip, drip, drop."
"Well, it's not beyond the ability of my potions." He placed a flask on the table with a demon-like head as the cork. "Here, try using this."
Juvia picked it up. "And this is…?"
"It's a potion that will get him to gaze at you passionately," He explained.
"How much is it?"
"60'000 jewel," he said firmly.
"That is quite expensive."
"Well… if you try to haggle, then no sale. This potion is 100% effective."
"100%... Passionate Gaze…" Juvia muttered to herself. That was enough to sell Juvia. 
"I will pay it!" She said.
She had soon walked out and held the potion tightly in her hand. Walking out into the rain with her umbrella as thunder roared behind her, hinting at the ominous magic that was hidden inside the potion. In Juvia's mind, the potion would be perfect for the person she had in mind. It seemed simple, nothing could possibly go wrong… right?
----The next day in the Fairy Tail guild, Lucy had her head on the counter while talking to Mira. Katara was sitting beside the blonde mage.
"Nothing to do…" Lucy tiredly said.
"Why don't you go on a job?" Mira asked.
"Well, Natsu said he wanted to rest for a little while." Lucy replied with annoyed puffy cheeks.
"He did fight against Aang, not too long ago."
"At least the whole thing with Aang going out of control is over." Katara said.
Lucy got up and smirked at her roommate. "Yeah, I bet you're really happy about that."
"H-hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Katara asked, looking at Lucy with wide eyes.
"Don't try to play it off Katara." Mira said playfully. "Plus, pretty much the whole guild knows already." Katara looked down, blushing
"Will you two knock it off already!?" Katara exclaimed with a flushed face. "Besides, Lucy hangs out with Natsu a lot."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Lucy asked, suspecting where Katara was going with this.
"You two hang out a lot, just like an actual couple." Mira said simply.
Lucy glared at the two. 
"WE ARE NOT!" She yelled, making Katara and Mira laugh.
Mira looked to Katara and winked. "But Katara, you should think about telling him. He might really love you." Mira said wisely.
Blushing, Katara looked to another part of the guild where Natsu and Aang were dancing with Plue on a table.
"Me and Natsu, I think I'll pass…" Lucy said, sweat dropping.
"What a bunch of kids, am I right?" Katara added.
"I think you and Aang would make be a great match, though." Mira gushed with popping hearts around her.
"HELP ME!" They heard. Katara, Lucy, and Mira turned to see Happy in a locked hug by Ty Lee. "Let me go!"
"Aww but how could I let go of something so cute!?" She squealed.
"Someone help me!" He pleaded, turning to Mai. "Mai?"
"Hey, I'm not responsible for what she finds adorable. Besides…" a smirk appeared on her face. "I'm kind of enjoying this…"
"Toph?"
The earthbender shrugged her shoulders in response.
"Natsu?"
Natsu was laughing at Happy. "Sorry buddy, I'm too busy enjoying this."
"You're so cruel!" He cried.
She was rubbing his cheek against hers. "You're so adorable!" She sang.
Gray stood in front of everyone. "Hey, Natsu! We'd better go on a job soon, or else…" Before Gray could finish, Erza quickly appeared behind him.
"You, put on some clothes!" Erza commanded with a furious look on her face, causing Gray to back away in fear. She looked at Aang and Natsu who had finished dancing on the table. 
"Natsu, Aang. Did that fight between you two turn your brains into mush!?" She asked with a vein popping.
"Does it really matter." Ash muttered. He was staring at the job board before removing a request. "After what transpired earlier this week, they should be allowed to take it easy."
They both continued their terrible dancing while Erza and Gray had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Are they really serious…?" Katara asked. "Well, at least he's happy…"
"You two would be a really good match, though." Mira said to Katara, hearts still surrounding her.
Katara closed her eyes in annoyance. "You're not going to stop are you?"
Ryu came down from the second floor. He was going to handle a S-Class request.
He showed the paper to Mira, who signed it and then headed out of the guild.
Juvia meanwhile was looking at Gray from behind a wooden pillar with blushes on her cheeks. "Gray-sama… May your passionate gaze only be aimed at Juvia!" She thought. She quickly imagined Gray, shirtless with flowers around him and a greater shine to his eyes. "Ah, this is so nerve-wracking!" The hand the potion was in had started shaking. "Even Juvia's hands are shaking! No!"
Katara found herself looking at Aang as he and Natsu continued with their crazy antics. "Could Mira be right… is Aang really…"
"You two would really be a good match, though." Mira repeated.
"You said that already..." Katara said in a low voice as she sweat dropped.
----Nighttime had fallen over Magnolia, Lucy and Katara were walking back to their home, Lucy was balancing on the edge and Plue was doing the same thing. As usual, the people on the boat in the river had warned her about falling into the river. "You know Lucy, what you and Mira were doing wasn't funny."
"C'mon, you can't lie that you have feelings for the guy, you were the only one who actually tried to calm him without being violent when he lost control."
"Yes, but that doesn't mean what you think..." Katara sighed… "Can't you and Mira please keep your crazy ideas to yourselves?"
"If only you knew why he lost control…" Lucy thought.
Both girls later got to their apartment. 
"I'm home!" Lucy announced.
"What, are we expecting someone?" Katara asked while lowering her eyes in Lucy's direction.
"Yo!" They saw Natsu sitting on a one seat couch while Aang was standing next to him.
"Letting yourselves in again!?" Lucy screamed with her eyes slightly stretching out.
"Seriously… How do you guys, keep getting in here!?" Katara yelled.
"We need to talk about something," Natsu said with his laid back tone.
"Man, you guys really love this house, you know that?" Lucy said while sighing.
"Well… it is comfy…" Aang added while he was rubbing the bridge of his nose with his finger.
"So why are you two here?" Katara questioned.
"Actually… Aang has something to tell you, Katara."
Katara blushes and slightly steps back. "S-something… t-to tell me…" she repeated.
"Yeah…" Aang started. "You see… well…I actually wanted…" Aang began to hesitate.
Katara had her hand over her heart, just waiting for what Aang might say. "You wanted to… what…?" She inquired. "M-maybe we can talk about it later if you like." Sensing the increase in awkwardness, Aang quickly ran over to the window that he and Natsu entered. "H-hey wait… where are you going?"
"I just remembered I… uh forgot to feed Appa, he must be starving." He lied as he forced a laugh while his cheeks were bright red. "Sorry, I guess I'll see you later." He jumped from Lucy's apartment.
"Hey! We have a door you know!" Lucy exclaimed while Aang fled.
Natsu looked a little annoyed. "Can't believe he bailed, I'll get outta your hair." Natsu was standing at the window to chase after Aang.
"Leave using the door!" Lucy sighed and looked behind her to see Katara shivering, her heart pounding, as she blushed. "Okay, these two shouldn't be so awkward around each other… Time for an intervention!" she excitedly thought. She imagined herself as cupid with a white dress and wings with a bow and a heart arrow. Plue was flying above her with his own wings holding just a bow. Lucy turned to Katara. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Y-yeah… I just need to lie down for a bit…" She said as she sat down on a chair.
...
Natsu ran into Aang elsewhere in town. "Okay, what was that?!" Natsu asked.
"Look, it's not that easy Natsu," Aang told him.
"Hey, you don't have to worry about that Chakra thing, and you have the Avatar State under control right, and you still like Katara...right?"
"Y-yeah… all that is true..."
"So why can't you just come out and say it, it can't be that hard!"
"Easy for you to say, you don't have a girlfriend… no offense…"
Natsu shrugged his shoulders. "None taken."
"Look, I still have my doubts okay… Natsu, why are you even helping me with this anyway?"
"I guess I owe you one."
"It really should be the other way around, but…"
"No buts… you are going to do this, now c'mon I'm hungry…"
"Didn't you eat an hour ago?"
"Yeah and…?"
"Never mind…" Aang said with a sweat drop.
----The next morning, by the campsite where Chun, Hen, Ping and Kobu had set up, the sounds of a sword being sharpened were heard.
The constant grinding forced Chun awake; she crawled out of her sleeping bag as she heard the sound from the nearby forest. "What could that be?" After entering the forest, she saw Ping sitting on a rock while sharpening one of her swords with a small knife. "Oh no…" She quickly turned to leave but…
"Where are you going?" Ping asked.
"Oh… Ping! Uh… what are you doing?"
"The Avatar… he can use magic… just like me…" Ping said in a growl.
"Oh… I guess this makes our job tougher then…" Chun said while awkwardly scratching the back of her neck.
"It changes nothing!" She exclaimed. "Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail… they will pay for defying the greatness of the Fire Nation." She promised as her sword glistened in the early sunrise. "They will pay…"
Chun slightly stepped back but needed to talk to Ping about something. "Ping, I have to ask... We are only going after the Avatar and… no one else, right?"
"Wrong! Fairy Tail is harboring an enemy of the Fire Nation. That guild of inferior peasants must pay with their lives."
"Ping…, are we really doing the right thing here?" The older girl glared at the young firebender. "I mean that whole thing with Fairy Tail fighting each other. That really freaked me out. Friends shouldn't do that to each other."
"Are you really being sentimental with me?"
"If the Avatar is our only target, why do others have to die?" She thought back to the times she had interacted with Lucy, inside the Tower of Heaven, when Lucy read her thoughts when helping destroy Laxus' Thunder Palace, and the last thought of her winking at her during the Fantasia Festival. "I mean… if you had a friend you cared about. How would you feel if they were suddenly taken away from you?"
Ping chuckled. "That is the difference between you and me… I ally myself with the strong, if they end up getting killed then it's their fault. Everyone eventually dies Chun. I don't care how much blood I have to spill. As long as I can achieve the goals of the Fire Nation, nothing else matters…"
"You're sick… you're a person, not a puppet!"
"I'm not a puppet, I'm a soldier… we have our orders, and that is to either capture the Avatar or take him down permanently. To defy those orders would be a betrayal to our home, our nation. I would rather die at the hands of the enemy than become a traitor." She exclaimed. "The Avatar will be brought to justice and anyone getting in our way will be eliminated." After shooting a glare at the smaller girl, she disappeared into smoke and re-appeared closer to her, placing her sword under her chin. "You're treading a very thin line, girl. You think I care about the lives of some peasant wizards?" Chun slightly stepped back.
"There is just no reasoning with you…" Chun sighed. "Ping… I just don't want to hurt anyone."
"You can't get everything you want, Chun. Sometimes if you want something, you must fight for it! Like your brother, if you don't follow orders… well, you know what happens next."
Chun looked down. 
"Why does the Fire Nation have to be so cruel? Han doesn't deserve this!" She yelled while stomping her foot.
"Oh boo hoo, get over it!" Ping exclaimed.
After Chun growled at her, large footsteps were heard. Those footsteps were getting closer and closer until a large shadow stood over them. "What in…"
The screams of both girls were heard from outside the forest. In the clearing, the scream was enough to make Hen jump out of his sleeping bag while Kobu weakly got up.
"Well, this better be good…" Kobu said with small bags under his eyes…
Hen was ready to fight. "Hey… where are the girls?"
Before they could do anything, they saw a colossal green gorilla-like figure that was holding Ping in his left hand and Chun in his right. "Hey, let us go you freak!" Chun exclaimed.
"Well, what are you waiting for you idiots?! Get me down!" Ping commanded.
"I don't know… let me lay down my options first." Kobu said, purposely wanting to mess with her.
"You two better not try anything stupid!" The large monkey said.
"I read about these things… they are called Forest Vulcan…I've also read that they like to chase after women and make them their wives." Kobu explained.
"WHAT!" Chun exclaimed.
"Yes, you caught me. You two are perfect." The Vulcan said. "One of you is small but perky and the other one has a fiery attitude that I love."
"Uh… wives!?" Chun said.
"Yes… you see, I've been looking for a wife for a long time." The huge creature replied.
"I'd be flattered if I wasn't being hit on by a damn monkey!" Ping angrily exclaimed.
"I'm not ready for marriage yet!" Chun comically screamed.
"Don't worry; you'll work out just fine." The Vulcan said.
Hen had a face that portrayed his extremely disturbed face. "Okay… that's… just wrong!"
Kobu was standing next to him with his eyes growing. "Hen, for once I agree with you."
Chun got the attention of the Vulcan. "Uh… you do know I'm only eleven, right?"
"Big deal," it replied. "I tried the same thing on a girl that was only eight a few years ago."
Chun's eyes shrunk. "W-what… you… you're so cruel! I won't marry you!" She yelled.
"We'll see about that…" He said flirtatiously.
Chun was sweating nervously and Hen glared at the giant creature. "I can't stand this anymore." Hen willed a large piece of earth to float from the ground and after punching the air, the earth projectile crashed into its right arm, instantly dropping Chun in the process. She ran from the Vulcan and stood next to the Earthbender.
"Thanks, Hen." Chun thanked.
The earthbender nodded back before looking at the Vulcan that was still holding Ping. 
"Uh, aren't you forgetting something!?" Ping growled.
"Shush!" Hen pointed to the Vulcan. "And you, pervy-monkey! Chun here is off-limits! But you're more than welcome to keep Ping, you'd be doing us all a HUGE favor and by 'all' I mean the whole world."
Ping grits her teeth and glared at the Earthbender. "You traitorous bastard, I will make sure Fire Lord Azula makes you pay for your betrayal!"
"Yeah… sure whatever, now y'all go off and enjoy your honeymoon." Hen jokingly said.
Ping's eyes became surrounded by a dark energy that leaked off the edges of her eyes. She disappeared into black smoke which confused the Vulcan as he noticed the girl had completely disappeared. 
"Huh? Where did my wife go?" He felt a sharp pain going across his back. He fell to his knees and Ping appeared in front of him leaving black smoke.
"Listen. To me. Very. Carefully." Ping hissed while her hair was defying gravity and began floating upwards. "If I ever see your ugly face again... I will make sure to make your death, very painful and very agonizing! Do I make myself clear?"
The Vulcan was sweating. "Y-yes ma'am!" He fearfully said.
"Good!" a dark magical seal appeared in front of her and a large dark red ball of energy, roughly the size of the Vulcan, grew from the seal. "Grand Graviton!" after forcing her palm forward, the orb shot into the Vulcan sending itself and the Vulcan high into the air causing a glint in the sky. Ping straightened her ponytail before walking to Hen. "You insubordinate son of a-"
"Hey, you got free. What's the harm?" Hen said, still with a chilled tone.
"You purposely tried to marry me off to that thing!"
"So?"
Ping unsheathed one of her blades with her right hand. "I should put you down right now!"
"Bring it on. I can beat one of Azula's mindless peons any day of the week!" Hen said butting his head with hers.
"Get out of my face peasant!"
"You get out of mine, witch!"
Kobu looked with a neutral expression while Chun was slightly fearful. "Kobu, shouldn't we do something?"
"We should… but I'm not… I have my reasons." Kobu replied. "Plus, why should I listen to what you have to say?"
Chun gave up knowing Kobu was going to be no help. She glared at Ping and Hen and figured there was only one way to end their argument. She under-head threw her arm in a quick motion to make a line of bright purple fire that split the two. "STOP FIGHTING!"
"Whoa…" Hen breathed. "Take it easy, firecracker."
"Are you trying to kill us!?" Ping exclaimed.
"No, but we're on the same side here… fighting over every small little thing isn't going to do anything for us. Ugh! I can't stand this anymore, us constantly being at each other's throats! If anyone needs me, I'll be in town, getting a break from all this insanity." Chun angrily began walking to Magnolia.
Ping calmly slid her blade back into its sheath. "We should begin training, we don't want to lose the next time we come across the Avatar and his friends."
After Ping had said that, the remaining three split to begin their training.
----"Are you sure about this Lucy?"
"Positive… it fits nicely…"
Katara and Lucy were standing outside the doors of the guild. Though Katara was wearing something very different, it was a sleeveless black dress with small white lining on certain areas. It was short so it showed off her legs and her slightly exposed chest; there was a white belt that went across her waist. She wore her usual brown shoes with her mother's necklace.
"Virgo did an excellent job re-fitting it for you?" Lucy said.
"Yes, but this hardly seems like something I should be wearing when I go out on a job. I stick out like a sore thumb in this."
"Well, that is the idea," Lucy thought.
After walking into the guild, nothing much is going on. Natsu was talking with Aang while Plue was sitting by a seat close to them, sucking on a lollipop. "Why are you making me do this, Natsu?" Aang asked.
"Because, you like her… I mean it's pretty much obvious." Natsu replied.
"Yeah, but Juvia likes Gray, and I don't see you playing matchmaker…" Aang pointed out.
Natsu placed a finger to his chin. "Yeah sure, but I don't like him." He replied with a smirk.
A sweat drop appeared on the side of Aang's head. "Figures…" Aang looked to the guild entrance and saw Katara in her attractive dress, his cheeks became red and he turned away from her as soon as her eyes turned to him. "Uh… I have to go!"
"What, but you just got here," Natsu said.
"Uh huh, but I have to… uh… find Momo. That's right poor lemur must be all alone somewhere. See ya!" he jumped onto an air scooter before escaping through the back of the guild.
"…But… Momo is right here," Natsu said to himself as he jerked his thumb to where Momo and Plue were now fighting over the lollipop.
"Natsu!" Gray exclaimed as he walked towards Natsu while shirtless. 
"That's enough, how long do you plan on playing around?" He aggressively asked.
"What's that?" Natsu growled. "You wanna go, buddy!?"
Happy happened to float above the two and yelled… "FIGHT!"
Right after the words left the cat's mouth, the two began fighting. Juvia meanwhile was again, hiding behind a pillar with her eyes only looking at a certain someone. "Gray-sama… Yesterday, Juvia was too nervous, she couldn't… But today, Juvia has made up her mind!" She said, determined within her own thoughts. She remembered that all she had to do to make the 'love potion' take effect was to blow on it and have the intended person swallow a small amount of it. Once that happens their feelings of attraction will reach the person drinking the potion… maybe… perhaps… That was what the old wizard selling the potion to Juvia said.
She continued to watch Natsu and Gray pointlessly fight each other. "Gray-sama. This passion burning within, grown stronger and stronger as long as you are out of reach…" she remembered all the times that she stalked Gray before joining Fairy Tail. "The closer Juvia gets, the more impatient she feels!" she had her hand to her chest as she brought all her thoughts to the surface. "But soon that will all be over. Starting today, Juvia and Gray-sama will be together as one, as lovers!"
As Natsu continued to fight Gray he remembered that he had something else planned for the day. "Oh, right! I don't have time for this!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Gray asked with a red tick appeared on his head.
"Oh, I also need to find Aang!"
Meanwhile, there was talk going on with the other guild members. 
"Did anyone else notice Aang speeding off just now?" Ty Lee asked.
"No, but I did notice that." Mai replied, pointing to Katara in her dress. "Apparently she and the Avatar like each other or something. Mira wouldn't shut up about it…"
"Those two would really be a good match, though." Mira said smiling as she tilted her head towards the two.
"Who would have thought…the powerful Avatar, getting weak in the knees all because of a girl?" Macao said.
"No way, what a laugh… That's the last thing I'd expect to hear about him." Wakaba added.
Gajeel who had Toph and Levy beside him had folded his arms. "So he is foolish enough to fight Laxus but he runs from an annoying girl, how weak." The Iron dragon slayer commented.
"Don't say that Gajeel, he's just shy…" Levy defended. "Right Toph?"
"What are you asking me for, don't drag me into this." The Earthbender said.
Katara could hear all of this and her entire face was red as they continued talking about her and Aang.
Iroh and Makarov meanwhile were playing Pai-sho close by. 
"Ah, young love." Makarov said.
"I wish I could be young again to experience this," Iroh said. He planted a Pai-sho tile onto the table. "I win!" Iroh made a wide smile with his eyes closed.
Makarov was stunned as this would be the sixth time in a row he had lost to Iroh. "WHAT AGAIN!?" He exclaimed while spilling his tea.
Sokka appeared in front of everyone. "Hold it!" he exclaimed. "I hear Aang has a crush on someone, well I can determine who that someone is!" he exclaimed with a pipe in his mouth.
"Uh… is that a bubble pipe?" Lucy asked. Sokka took the bubble pipe out of his mouth and tossed it behind him.
"Never mind that, but I have narrowed it down to six possible girls!"
Happy walked over to Sokka. "You're really dumb Sokka."
"Quiet you!" he took out a Light Pen and began to draw in mid-air and what he drew were complicated mathematical formulas and finally a pie chart that was split unevenly in six different directions with poor drawings of the girls' faces above the pie chart with different colors representing each girl. They were Mira, Lucy, Ty Lee, Levy, Toph, and Erza. "So thanks to all my investigative work, I have figured out who Aang likes."
Mai had her head on the table. "Ty… please Chi-block him? I think his stupidity is contagious…"
Toph glanced to Gajeel. "So should we tell him?"
Gajeel smirked. "Why rush it, let's let him make an idiot of himself a little more."
They both bumped their fists together. "I like the way you think, Metalhead."
Natsu began running out of the guild. "Later!" after leaving he saw Aang sitting on the roof. "Hey! I can see you!"
"O-oh, hi Natsu…"
"If you don't tell her soon, I'm gonna beat the crap out of you." He threatened with a smirk. "Later Aang!" he ran from him and Aang had a face of confusion.
After Natsu ran out, Gray tried to yell at him so he would come back. "Hey, Natsu, where the hell do you think you're going!"
Juvia, still hiding, lifted the cap off the potion and several pink bubbles floated upwards. "Now Gray-sama, your passionate gaze..." Juvia blows on the potion and the bubbles began to float from her.
Gray who was still mad at Natsu for some reason was now compelled to chase after him. "That bastard… Wait, Natsu!" Gray attempted to run after Natsu causing Juvia to miss her target as the bubbles had floated inside Makarov's nose.
He was standing close to both Iroh and Mira. Makarov sneezed which got both of their attention. 
"Something wrong Makarov…?" Iroh asked.
Juvia deciding to try again blew more bubbles from the flask. "Look at Juvia!" As if by fate, the bubbles had flown past Gray who was walking. They flew into the open mouths of Gajeel, Toph, Levy, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen. This all happened again and the bubbles had gone into the mouths of Zuko, Alzac, Bisca, Suki, Macao and Wakaba. After blowing one more time, she again missed and instead got Erza, Mira, Elfman, Cana, Jet and Droy. 
Juvia was now completely frustrated. 
"Stop moving, Gray-sama!" She thought, shaking with fear. "At this rate, everyone is going to be looking at Juvia passionately! No one needs that!" Her eyes were filled with flames of determination. 
"Gray-sama!" She yelled before she blew more bubbles from the flask. All of them managed to make their way into Gray's mouth as he yawned. After he swallowed them, he felt a weird sensation. To say Juvia was elated was an understatement. "I did it!" She thought with a blushing face. Gray was looking towards Juvia and he instantly blushed. As soon as Juvia noticed this, she recoiled in shock before returning to her usual emotionless expression.
"What is this feeling?" Gray muttered to himself.
"It's finally happening!" Juvia gleefully thought. "Gray-sama's… passionate gaze…" he had already started walking towards her. Her eyes were watery, he was getting closer and closer until… he had walked past her as if she wasn't there, which comically shocked Juvia.
Happy meanwhile was enjoying a fish with his back turned to Gray. When the cat noticed Gray, he turned around to meet a glare from the ice wizard.
"You're always…" He began. "You're always flying as you damn well please in the sky!" Gray exclaimed while a pink aura was surrounding him while looking furious.
"What?" Happy forced out in shock, accompanied by the drop of his fish and a sweat drop on the side of his head.
"I'm strong, but I can't fly! You're weak, but you can fly! So, in the end, we're even!" He threw his pointing finger towards the sweating cat. "Happy! You're now my rival!" he yelled. Happy began to panic while flailing his arms up and down.
Katara and Lucy noticed this. "What's gotten into him?"
Aang had walked back in and noticed Gray's behavior. "Did something happen in the short time I was gone?"
Gray continued to yell at Happy. "I challenge you, Happy!"
"Natsu, I'm scared! Gray's acting all freaky!" Happy panicked. He flew from Gray in a panic. "Where's Natsu?"
"N-no!" Juvia said. "Where's the passionate gaze?" She asked as she watched her plan backfire.
They all heard a loud bang and Gajeel had stretched his metal pillar arm towards Toph who stopped it with her two hands. "What's the matter, metalhead? You getting' soft on me?" she taunted with an evil smirk.
"I wouldn't want to harm a delicate kid!" Gajeel said with a similar expression to Toph's.
"Delicate…" Toph began, she stamped her foot on the ground, forcing a blunt rock formation from the ground which hit Gajeel in the chin, forcing him to retract his metallic pillar arm. After his arm turned to normal she continued… "I was trained by the strongest Badger Moles…"
Gajeel's smile widened. "Gihi! I was trained by a dragon little girl!"
"Ha, yeah I'd believe that if you weren't such a pushover!"
Both of them bunted heads and they still had those evil smiles on their faces. "Remind me why I waste my time, hanging out with you," Gajeel said.
"You wanna keep tabs on your competition huh?" Toph replied.
"Yeah right, that pony-tailed idiot can put up more of a fight than you."
They both continued to push their faces together while giving evil snickers.
After this Macao threw his fist towards Wakaba but to was blocked by the latter's hand. 
"Wakaba, how much you make last month?" Macao asked.
The smoker laughed. "Ha, A lot more than you!"
Macao eyes showed fury. "There's no way I could lose to you!"
"I couldn't possibly lose against you!"
Both of them, like Gajeel and Toph, had they heads butted together. "
What are we to each other, again?" Macao asked.
"Rivals, of course!" Wakaba answered. "That's how it should be!"
Aang walked over to Lucy and Katara. "I just saw Gajeel and Toph acting weird…"
"They're not the only ones." Katara added.
"No kidding," Mai said as she pointed to Zuko and Alzack.
"What kind of a man are you?" Alzack asked. "You should have beaten your father when you had the chance!"
Zuko laughed. "Tough talk coming from someone who uses guns instead of his fists… and you call me unmanly."
Pink auras also surrounded them. 
"Are you callin' me weak, Zuko?" Alzack asked as he pulled out his magic pistols.
"Well… in your case, if the bullet fits…"
Alzack had magic circles outside of the holes on his pistols. "I'll show you how weak you are, Zuko!"
Zuko chuckled as he made flame daggers on his hands. "Bring it on!"
Bisca meanwhile was taking a jab at Suki. "You seriously fight with fans? Are you a fighter or a dancer?"
"I have other weapons aside from my fans, I'd be more than happy to show them to you!" Suki angrily replied.
"No thanks, not that I would be impressed."
"I'm not surprised, you'd rather take the enemy on from a distance with that sniper of yours. In a close fight, you wouldn't stand a chance. You're nothing but a coward."
Bisca re-quipped to her magic shotgun. "I'll show you how deadly I am in close quarters!"
Suki had out her shield and katana blade. "Enough stalling, let's find out who is stronger, Rival!"
"Even Suki and Zuko?" Ty Lee said, flabbergasted. "Is anyone else acting weird?"
"I think the better question is… who isn't acting weird?" Sokka said. "Check it out!" he pointed to Makarov.
"Drink alcohol, but don't be drowned by it!" he exclaimed with a furious look on his face. He was pointing to a barrel filled with beer. "You hear me alcohol! I ain't gonna lose to the likes of you! It is you that is my fated rival!"
Iroh slid towards Makarov with a sweatdrop on his face. "Are you talking about all alcohol in general or just that barrel in front of you?" Iroh asked.
"I won't be drowned! I won't be drowned in you! We battle!" He pulled up a beer much and started messily chucking a purple liquid down his mouth.
"I'm confused here." Iroh said.
Erza was acting even weirder. 
"You, pillar over there!" She angrily said while pointing to it. "Why must you always obstruct my path? All I ever wished for was to pass through here, unhindered, and yet why? Why must you challenge me so? Do you intend to make me your rival!?"
Katara tried to get Erza's attention. "Uh… Erza… I don't think you can be rivals with a pillar."
The others who didn't go crazy were watching all this unfold. 
"Hmm, I'm detecting a pattern here." Sokka said.
"I mean the alcohol-thing with the master, I sort of get…" Aang added. "But a pillar? This is just crazy."
Ty Lee looked as if she had an idea. "But it would make sense if she was talking about a Caterpillar right?"
Aang sweat dropped. "I'll pretend you didn't say that."
Mira appeared behind Erza with an excited smile while her eyes were close. 
"Erza! Let's fight like we used to back in the day! I'm not going to lose, no way! …Because you are my lifelong rival, Erza!" Mira declared while pointing to Erza.
"Wait, back up!" Sokka exclaimed. "Mira and Erza used to fight!?"
Aang scratched his head while smiling nervously. "Y-yeah… funny story about that?"
Happy was still panicking as he was trying to find Natsu. 
"Where are you, Natsu?" he cried.
His path, however, was obstructed by Gray. "I challenge you, HAPPY!" he yelled which scared the blue cat.
Happy, Gray and Momo were now on the roof the Fairy Tail guild.
"Now look here. I'm going to fly further than you without fail!" Gray declared.
"It's impossible, I say!" Happy exclaimed.
"No, I will fly! Against you… against my rival… I will not lose no matter what!"
Happy had endless tears falling from his eyes. "Natsu, where are you!"
Juvia who was looking at them from the ground looked at the potion. "Could it be that it takes some time before the potion takes effect?"
Sokka noticed her behavior. "Hey, what are you holding there?"
Juvia flinched when hearing Sokka's voice. 
"I-It's nothing…" She said.
"Really?" Sokka said. He had Aang, Katara, Lucy, Iroh, Mai and Ty Lee with him as well. "The whole guild is fighting each other, two of them are fighting inanimate objects and you're holding a weird bottle with a demon-shaped lid. "I'm just saying its suspicious is all."
Juvia had a sad face and finally admitted what she did. 
"It's all Juvia's fault! She wanted to meet Gray-sama's passionate gaze!" She cried. "What if Gray-sama hurts himself?" she imagined Gray jumping off the building and landed on the cold, hard floor. "What if Gray-sama finds out that Juvia did this?" her eyes became watery.
Aang sighed and grabbed her left shoulder. "Okay, look. Why don't we just go to where you got it and talk to the guy, okay? Chances are he knows how to reverse what has happened."
"What but why...?" Sokka asked. "You have to admit that all this is pretty funny."
Aang had the potion in his hand. "I could use this to make Mai fight you."
Sokka shifted his pupils to look at her and she glared at the both of them. "Don't. Even. Think about it."
"Let's just hurry alright." Aang looked up to Happy. "Happy, make just Gray doesn't jump okay."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!? HURRY AND FIND NATSU!" Happy yelled.
----While Juvia unleashed chaos upon Fairy Tail. Chun was walking through town trying to get her mind off… well, everything. "What do I do? I don't want to hurt anyone, but if we continue to stay here. I'm going to have to eventually." She thought back to when she fought Aang and her defeat to him. "I couldn't beat him then and now that Ping says he can now use magic, there is no way to beat him… Lucy, why didn't I accept your offer?" She was on one of the bridges of the city and looked into the water. "Even if we kill the Avatar, there is no guarantee that we can get back home. We weren't exactly briefed on a way to return home. Maybe Ping knows a way back and is not telling us…"
Chun's fists clenched and she glared into the water. This whole situation frustrated her. "WHY MUST EVERYTHING BE SO… UGH!" she threw a punch in frustration but quickly stopped her arm when it was about to make contact with a girl with long blue hair, who looked a similar age to her. The girl was walking on the same bridge as her. "Uh…" Chun trailed off no knowing what to say.
The girl that was about to be punched started to slightly shiver as her eyes became watery. 
"I'm…sorry…" She apologized.
"No, no, no, no. Don't cry… that was my fault…" After trying to calm her down, she saw a bright blue guild mark on her right shoulder. "She's part of a guild… but it's not Fairy Tail… or any of the others that Kobu told us about."
"Uh… you're not going to hurt me?" the girl asked.
Chun nervously laughed. "Oh no, I was just thinking about some stupid stuff and got mad. Ya got nothing to worry about." Chun noticed she forgot to introduce herself. "Oh right, where are my manners? The name's Chun and you are…?"
"Oh, Wendy Marvell." The girl said as she bowed.
"Nice to meetcha Wendy." The two girls shook hands. Wendy was slightly hesitant but their hands eventually met. "By the way, what's your guild? I don't think I've seen it before."
"Oh, I'm from Cait Shelter."
"So your guild takes care of cats?" Chun guessed while imagining Wendy being surrounded by cats.
"No, but I do have a good friend of mine who is a cat." She answered.
"Oh… I see… I think?" Chun simply decided to roll with it.
"D-do you belong to a guild?" Wendy nervously asked.
"Well… you could say that... Though I can't really say." Chun picked up that Wendy was nervous and quite shy. She knew Wendy wasn't part of Fairy Tail, so she could drop her guard around her. "So what brings you to Magnolia?"
"Oh, that's right. I'm actually looking for someone, well two someones…"
"Ah, I'm sure you'll run into them. Hey, wanna walk through town with me? I can't stand my uh… guild mates… they kind of drive me nuts and I just needed to get away from them for a while."
Wendy gave a small smile. "Of course Chun."
----Elsewhere in Magnolia; Aang, Lucy, Katara, Juvia, Iroh, Mai, Ty Lee and Sokka were standing outside the shop where Juvia bought the potion. 
"You sure this is the place?" Katara asked.
"Yes, this is where Juvia got the potion." Juvia answered.
"It looks… shady..." Mai noted "What possessed you to even purchase a love - wait… don't answer that."
Aang walked up to the door and knocked. 
"Anybody home?" he asked raising his voice. There was no response.
"Maybe he's not home?" Ty Lee guessed.
Mai glared at the door. "We have no time; everyone at the guild is going crazy. Whoever this guy is, he's going to answer to us!" she threw one of her small knives which sped through the lock that was in-between the door and the door frame. She gave the door a hard kick which made it violently swing open. "Okay, what's… in that… potion?" she said expecting to see the person who made it in the first place. But the room was dark and empty. "He's not here."
Aang stepped in and created a small flame in his hand to light up the room. 
"And he took all of his belongings with him." Aang added.
"Wait!" Katara said. "Does this mean that-?"
"Yep, Juvia got scammed." Sokka said. "The guy that sold the potion must have left after making a lot of money off her, he's probably looking to scam someone else." He looked to Juvia. "So Juvia, what did we learn today?"
Juvia tuned him out as her mind turned back to thinking of Gray. "Juvia shouldn't be here if the potion takes time to work… Juvia must be there so she can meet Gray-sama passionate gaze!" after these thoughts passed through her head, she sped out of the room, away from the group while leaving a dust trail. "GRAY-SAMA!" she cried. Everyone seeing this had sweat drops on the sides of their heads.
"Well, what do we do now?" Aang asked.
"If this potion has any deadly side effects other than what we have seen, then it will be a good idea to find out soon." Iroh said. "I suggest that we take some to Porlyuisica."
"But Juvia took the potion with her." Ty Lee said.
"Not all of it!" Sokka exclaimed. He had some of the potions in a smaller beaker that was covered with a cork. "I figured she would destroy it… but anyway this should be enough for the old hermit figure out what is in it."
"Careful…" Mai said. "Better not let you hear her say that; she'll chase you with her broom."
"I'm not scared of her." Sokka said confidently, folding his arms.
"Well, she did chase me and Natsu all over the forest after our fight. I had to give her the slip before I was safe."
Sokka gulped and handed the potion to Lucy. "On second thought, you take it."
"Huh! Me!?" Lucy exclaimed.
"I suggest we split up." Iroh said. "Sokka, Ty Lee, Mai and I will do our best to stop the guild from falling apart." He pointed to Aang, Katara, and Lucy. "While you three go and find out the potion's contents."
"Wait! WE have to stop them!?" Sokka exclaimed while shivering in horror. He heard the sounds of fighting as well as Erza yelling angrily. It was after hearing Erza, he froze on the spot.
"We must act fast. Good luck you three." Iroh said as he and Mai began running back to the guild while Ty Lee was dragging Sokka by his arm.
"Don't be such a scaredy-cat, Sokka!" Ty Lee said while dragging him.
"Well, we should get moving," Katara said before noticing that Aang couldn't take his eyes off her. "W-what it is?" she asked while blushing.
"Oh…" Aang quickly turned away. "It's just the dress… It well… how do I say it… you look nice…"
Katara's entire face turned red. "L-let's just find Porlyusica already…" She began moving forward.
"Wait; do you know where she lives?" Aang asked. Katara mentally facepalmed and didn't give an answer. "That's alright… I'll take the lead."
Lucy looked at the two before a smirk grew on her face. 
"Yes, this is my chance!" She exclaimed before she imagined both Aang and Katara getting married, with Aang in a black tuxedo and Katara in a white wedding dress. Lucy was in between them and Plue was throwing around rose petals. "You may kiss the bride." She imagined herself saying in a deeper voice before she snapped herself out of it. "It's way too soon to be thinking about that, Lucy!"
"Lucy!" Katara said, bringing the blonde mage out of her thoughts. "Are you coming?"
Lucy had an embarrassing expression on her face. "Yeah, sure."
"Is something on your mind?" Katara asked.
Lucy panicked. "Uh, n-no nothing let's just do this quickly." So both girls began to follow Aang to Porlyusica's place that was deep within the East Forest.
----At the same time at the South Gate Park, Chun and Wendy were sitting at a bench and they were talking with each other. "So your friend Carla acts like your guardian or something?" Chun asked.
"Well… sort of… but she means well. She's been my best friend since I was very young." Wendy said.
"I wish I had someone like that in my life." Chun said looking up into the sky.
"Chun, don't you have any friends?"
"I do… well, I can only call one of them a friend, the others are… how should I put it… Impossible to talk to…"
"I'm sorry to hear that." Wendy sympathized. "I'll-I'll be your friend... But… only if you want me to?"
"Thanks, Wendy…" Chun jumped to her feet and let her upbeat attitude return before stretching. "Alright, so do you know any magic?" Wendy began to twiddle her fingers. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
"N-no, it's just. I don't have any strong magic… just healing and support really."
"At least it's not destructive, I'd trade my magic in a heartbeat for something that isn't related to fighting..."
"So… w-what's your magic?"
Chun looked around. And saw no one from Fairy Tail lurking about. "I'll do you one better, I'll show you." She outstretched her arms and made two bright purple flames rise up on top of her hands. She began moving her arms in a very fluid motion while slowly twirling, similar to a dance. As she did, her flames stretched into fire whips that danced around her as she moved. She rested her arms as her fire whips fizzled out. "Whatcha think of that?" she asked with a confident wink.
"Chun… your fire magic… that was amazing… your dance was also beautiful… I-I also like the color of your fire."
Chun's face became flushed as she brushed the back of her forehead. "Oh, I'm not that great."
"Yes you are, I've never seen fire as pretty as yours."
"Huh? Y-you think my flames are pretty?"
Wendy blushed and began sweating as soon as Chun asked her that question. "Uh… I-I mean they look n-nice… I mean they are very nice and..."
The firebender chuckled. "Don't worry, I know what you mean. Thanks… You know, I think you must be the nicest person I've met since I've gotten to Magnolia. You don't know it, but meeting someone like you… It means a lot to me…"
"Oh, thanks, Chun. That's very nice of you to–" Wendy was surprised when Chun had pulled her into a hug. It felt as if… Chun really needed this and Wendy could feel it. Chun realized what she was doing and quickly pulled away.
"Oh no… I'm so sorry Wendy… I don't know what came over me!" she apologized on her knees while her face was red. Wendy had blue lines behind her with a sweatdrop.
Wendy nervously laughed and outstretched her hand to her. "It's alright… I don't mind, really." After helping Chun back to her feet, she could feel that Chun was becoming a little awkward. "Hey, you want to get some ice cream?"
"I'd love to!" She cheerfully said.
----Mai, Sokka, Ty Lee and Iroh had arrived back at the guild to view the utter chaos that Juvia had caused.
"What did we just walk into?" Mai dryly asked.
"Master!" Cana cried. She was seen pointing at Makarov while he was chugging down what looked like purple coloured liquid, though it was spilling out of his own mouth as he drank it. 
"Let's have a drinking contest!" She exclaimed. "I always wanted to challenge you!"
"You are not my rival!" Makarov angrily said. "My rival is alcohol itself!"
Iroh popped in between them. "That doesn't even make sense, why not have some tea instead?" Iroh said with a sweatdrop going down his face.
"I will not lose!" Cana began chugging down and the liquid was spilling out of her mouth.
At the same time, The Thunder God tribe was staring down Team Shadow Gear.
"Three against three, don't go thinking that just because we're equal in number, we're equal in ability." Freed stated.
"When you talk about team of three in Fairy Tail, it always means us!" Levy declared. "Let us battle!"
Zuko and Alzack looked like they were in uncomfortable positions as they looked to have been lifting something very heavy. 
"What's the matter rival? You want to quit already?" Alzack asked glaring at Zuko.
"Are you kidding!? This is nothing!" Zuko yelled back.
They were both carrying boulders of equal size over their heads. "I'm more manly than you will ever be!" Alzack exclaimed.
"S-shut up, I'll beat you!" Zuko exclaimed as both guys were struggling to keep the rocks above their heads.
Mai came in between them. "This is ridiculous! Knock it off Zuko!"
Suki and Bisca were glaring at each other. 
"We battle… no weapons!" Suki said.
"Fair enough, rival! It will be fun to prove how weak you are!" Bisca replied with a smirk
Both girls fists connected before their legs crossed as they tried to kick each other, it appeared as though they were doing the same thing as even their elbows connected. 
"I WILL BEAT YOU!" They both yelled.
Sokka walked to them. "Okay, this has gone on long enough. Suki, you need to sto-" in a blind rage both girls arched their fists back and drove them into Sokka's face which sent him flying across the floor. 
"W-why?" He weakly muttered.
Elfman had tear lines going from his eyes. "Is there no real man here!? If there's a rival for me, show yourself!" He exclaimed. "I am saddened! I am violently saddened!"
Ty Lee was confused as she watched this. "So is he looking for a rival or for a man?" she asked glancing at Mai who stood next to her.
"I don't know, and I don't think I want to stick around to find out." Mai replied.
Toph had a serious look on her face with the pink aura flowing around her. "Okay metalhead, let's settle this once and for all!"
"Gihi, I'll show you who's the strongest, you little runt!" Gajeel replied.
Both Gajeel and Toph were locking in an arm-wrestling battle both of their arms had veins traveling through them. 
"I WILL NOT LOSE!" They both exclaimed.
Macao was looking at a stack of papers while shifting his pupils to his left. "You finished adding it up, rival?"
Wakaba was looking down at a stack of papers as well. "Of course…! And faster than you, rival! Getting a little dull in the tooth, I see."
"Damn you!"
They were revealed to be sitting next to each other. "On the count of three…"
"Bring it on! The amount of money I made last month is…"
They both yelled the amount of money they made. "150,000 jewel all in all!" They both exclaimed.
"Sooo it's a tie?" Ty Lee asked
"The same?" They both questioned. "Then we'll do battle with the month before last!"
Freed meanwhile became serious. "We, Thunder God tribe versus you Shadow Gear!" Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow did a fancy team pose. "We'll decide, just who the best three-person team in Fairy Tail is!"
Levy, Droy, and Jet were seen doing a different team pose. 
"Don't be surprised when you see our skills!" Levy exclaimed.
"Damn you!" they both yelled at each other.
Mai sweatdropped when she saw this. "Are they having a pose-off?"
"Everyone's lost it what are we going to do Mai?" Ty Lee asked.
"I don't know, let's just hope that the others get back with some sort of cure or something."
----Meanwhile, at the section of the East Forest that wasn't completely destroyed, Porlyuisica had just finished taking a good look at the potion. 
"There are definitely some potent effects, but nothing to worry about." Both Lucy and Katara sighed with relief.
"What do you mean?" Aang asked.
"This is just the result of an idiot who mixed a bunch of random potions together. It won't cause any fatal effects and should wear off by the morning. Though I would recommend you stay away from the guild till then."
"That sounds like a good idea," Lucy said.
"Why are you three still here?!" She angrily asked.
"Oh, we thought you had something else to say." Katara said.
"I have nothing else to say to humans like you!" She grabbed her broom. "I'm still mad about you and that dragon slayer destroying the forest, child!" She yelled while glaring at Aang.
"Oh, well you see I can explain."
"THERE IS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN! GET OUT!" She screamed with yellow four pointed stars replacing her eyes. She chased the three from her home.
After running for a while Aang and Katara found themselves in a small clearing with trees surrounding it. "Sheesh, I wonder what made her hate people so much?" Katara asked while panting.
"I don't know, but if I can get that broom out of her hands, I'll be sure to let you know." Aang joked.
Katara noticed something was a bit off. 
"Hey… where's Lucy?" She asked.
"Maybe she took a wrong turn somewhere?" Aang guessed.
"Or maybe she planned this… just so Aang and I could be… alone…" She thought. "Well, we should probably find her."
"Y-yeah… sure…" they both began to walk through the East Forest to find Lucy who had 'gotten lost'.
----It was sunset over Magnolia, Chun, and Wendy both walked out of an ice-cream parlor, both were holding waffle cones with white swirling ice cream on it. "This tastes so good!" Chun exclaimed.
"I'm glad you like it." Wendy said.
"Truth be told, I've never actually had ice cream before…"
"Huh, really?" Wendy said in slight shock. "But why?"
"Well, my mother told me 'Sugar is bad for you, young lady. I will not have our talented daughter indulge in sugary treats like some 5 years old.'" Chun mimicked her mother's voice in a posh, high tone. In all of this Wendy had finished her ice cream.
"That's not fair."
"Yeah, my family wasn't exactly what I would call… pleasant… well except for…" Chun didn't want to talk about her family or her brother so she quickly changed the subject. "What was I talking about? Oh right, ice cream." She proceeded to stuff the whole cone with the ice cream into her mouth.
"N-not so fast Chun!" Wendy exclaimed. "If you eat it that fast you'll-"
"Stop worrying, Wendy. I feel fine…" soon her forehead turned blue and black lines were going down her head. "My head feels like it's in a snowstorm!" she exclaimed while clutching onto it.
"I tried to warn you about brain freeze…" Wendy said with a sweatdrop.
Chun was comically lying on her back while shivering and her pupils were not showing. "I'm never going to eat that fast… ever… again…" she felt fingers touch the sides of her head. "Wendy… what are you-?" Chun felt a warm, soothing sensation move into her head and flowed through her entire body as if she had never gotten brain-freeze in the first place. Wendy let out a tired sigh before Chun looked at her from the ground. "Are you okay?" Chun asked.
"I'm fine," Wendy replied.
"Was that your magic?"
Wendy nodded to her question. "I know it's not as impressive as yours but I just wanted help."
"Are you kidding me? I feel great thanks to you!" Chun jumped up to her feet. She outstretched her hand to help Wendy to her feet. "Where have you been my entire life?" Chun joked.
"Thanks, Chun, you're too kind."
"HEY CHUN!" both girls looked to see Hen walking up to them. "There you are. I've been looking all over for you."
"Who is he?" Wendy asked.
"Oh, he's just a friend. Sorry, but I gotta go." Chun turned away but was surprised when Wendy grabbed her left hand with both of hers. "Wendy?"
"It was very nice to meet you, Chun." Wendy said.
Chun was blushing before she smirked, she placed her free palm on Wendy's hands "Yeah, it was nice meeting you too."
"Maybe we'll see each other again soon."
"Count on it." They both let go and waved to each other as Chun was walking away with Hen.
"So who was that?" Hen asked.
"Someone you should absolutely not tell Ping or Kobu about!" she said. "She's a very nice girl; the last thing I would want is for her to somehow get involved in our situation."
"Oh don't worry, I won't tell Ping or Kobu about your little girlfriend…" he teased.
"Hen, I'm serious!" Chun exclaimed.
"No worries, I'll keep my mouth shut, I promise."
"Thanks…" Chun and Hen proceeded to leave Magnolia.
----An explosion was heard at the Guild. Toph was revealed to have been thrown into a wall; she wiped her mouth and smirked. "So, you're getting serious… then so shall I!" she slammed her palm into the ground and a pillar of earth shot from the ground and it hit Gajeel in the stomach which forced him to his knees. "Oh did that hurt… hey maybe a massage is all you need!" She stepped on the floor continuously and blunt pillars were rising out of the ground, constantly pounding Gajeel who stayed in the same place.
"Toph, you have to stop!" Ty Lee yelled. "That's fighting dirty…"
"Hey, there are no rules in battle especially when it comes to beating my rival!" She exclaimed as she continued stomping.
"I'm not done, runt!" He held his breath and arched backward. "Iron Dragon Roar!" Toph and Ty Lee ducked under the metallic shards that were aimed at them. The blast made a huge hole in the wall.
"Dragon's roar? Ha, I didn't feel a thing. Ha, ha, ha." An Iron pillar was thrust into her chest which sent her through the hole that Gajeel made with his dragon roar.
"The hell is going on here?" Ryu demanded. He and Ash had just returned from their jobs only to stumble across everyone fighting.
"Requip! Heaven's Wheel Armor!" Erza meanwhile had changed her armor and impaled one of her swords into the pillar that was blocking her path, before stabbing her other one into it.
"Hey, Erza look around, you're fighting a damn pillar! May I remind you that this place was just rebuilt." Mai exclaimed. Ty Lee ran up to her. "Well, how are Gajeel and Toph…?"
"I told you they wouldn't listen."
"Well, neither is Erza!" Sokka said. 
"Hey! You really going to get mad at an inanimate object?!" He yelled.
"SILENCE!" Erza roared. She had swords surrounding her as she consumed with rage. "This guy is constantly standing in my way! It especially makes me angry when I wish to go further inside without delay! It's impossible to go further in without going around it! It is this pillar that is always standing in my way, in other words, my rival!"
"Uh… have you ever thought of taking a different route?" Sokka dryly asked.
"I know you're set in your ways, but this is a bit much." Mai added.
Happy floated in front of them. "Erza tends not to look where she's going."
Ty Lee giggled at what she was seeing. "I think Erza has finally found an opponent that is as stubborn as she is."
Mai and Sokka thought for a moment about what Ty Lee said. 
"That's true…" They both said.
Suddenly all four of them were sent flying by Mira who had boxing gloves. 
"Erza, fight me!" She exclaimed. "Your Rival is right here!"
"I'm facing down my lifelong rival right now!" Erza said.
"Maybe we should just let her destroy it…" Sokka suggested with a bump on his head.
Mira meanwhile was completely ignored by Erza, this enraged her as her magic was building. "I can't believe this! SATAN SOUL!" A black magic seal appeared above her.
"Oh great." Ryu sighed.
As Mira was transforming, Erza changed her armor. "Requip! Purgatory Armor!"
"Okay! I'm going in!" Sokka exclaimed.
"WHAT, are you kidding me! They'll kill you and I'm being literal about it!" Mai warned.
"I'm just going to calm them down…" Sokka walked over to them and got in between them. "Come on ladies… can't we please talk about this?"
Mira in her demon form was engulfed in a dark aura and Sokka could feel her presence. Her eyes were glowing yellow. 
"Wildcat…" Mira started.
"Oh please no…" Sokka begged as he turned around.
"…Punch!" She punched Sokka with her right boxing glove and he was sent flying again.
Elfman was still looking for a rival. "Where is a real man?! I want a rival!" He bellowed before transforming into his beast form, but he was quickly punched by Mira, in the same manner, she punched Sokka earlier.
"It's no use…" Sokka said with three bumps on his head. "They won't listen to reason."
Iroh walked over to them. "Then maybe it's time we made them listen." Ty Lee helped Sokka to his feet. The four stood back to back. Mai pulled out her knives, Ty Lee was ready to leap into the air so she could chi-block her opponents, Sokka had two bolas in his hand that he made and Iroh was in a fighting stance.
"Leave Erza and Mira to us." Ryu instructed.
"Dragon Fist!" Ryu pulled his fist back and punched Erza in the face.
"Light Dragon Joust Horn!" Ash headbutted Mira in the stomach sending her slamming into a wall.
"Now!" They all rushed in to quell the fighting in the guild.
----Night time fell and on the roof of the guild, Gray was looking across the horizon with his arms folder. 
"Gray, it's impossible, I tell you! Stop this!" Happy said.
"That's no good, I'm going to surpass you, my rival!" He angrily exclaimed.
Juvia appeared from behind the bell on the roof. "Juvia is so vexed… More potion…" She thought in a last ditch effort to get Gray to fall for her. She blew more bubbles from the potion. After telling Happy to follow him, the bubbles flew into Gray's mouth and a split-second after. He was engulfed in a large bright pink energy, he had lost his pupils and his hair stood up on end. His eyes turned red as he flexed his muscles.
"Gray!" Happy worriedly yelled.
"I'm even more fired up!" He exclaimed.
"He's all like Natsu!"
"I will fly!" He screamed as he jumped off the ceiling and Happy and Juvia panicked. He was seen running down the walls of the building before he got to the ground. He ran as fast as he could and jumped off the land that separated land from sea with his arms far outstretched to his sides.
----Aang and Katara were still alone in the forest as there was still no sign of Lucy. "We still can't find her." Katara said.
"Maybe she went back to the apartment," Aang suggested. "Like Porlyusica said, we should keep our distance from the guild."
"You think Sokka will be alright?" She worriedly asked.
"He's the most resourceful guy I know. He's going to be fine, I'm sure."
A bush that was a distance away began ruffling and Lucy popped her head out of it. 
"Lucy, you have outdone yourself!" She thought to herself.
They both came across the scorched and destroyed part of the East Forest. Aang lifted a handful and ashes with his right hand. 
"All of this… it's my fault…" He said as he let the ashes blow away from his hand.
"Aang, it wasn't your fault. It's not like you went into the Avatar state on purpose." Katara said putting her hand on his left shoulder.
"I'm not talking about that!" He said raising his voice while he turned to face her. "I'm sorry it's just… I don't know if the others told you, but I had a chance to beat the Fire Lord… not just beat him but permanently end him. I had the chance to end the war..." Katara slightly gasped. "But I didn't take it, and because of that, all this is happening. I have no idea of what is happening back home, but it can't be good… The Fire Nation won and it's entirely my fault."
"Aang…" Katara looked him in the eye. "We can't change the past… no matter how much we would like to… I think we can both agree on that. But despite everything, you've done plenty of good with Fairy Tail; beating Jellal, saving Erza, stopping Laxus, and those are just off the top of my head."
"Well… I did have some help from Natsu." Aang replied scratching the back of his head. "…But thanks… really. I really appreciate you for… well sticking with me since you broke me out of the iceberg. I wouldn't be where I am without you." Katara blushed at his kind words.
"Well, at least we're all together now."
"I promise Katara, I'll find a way back and defeat the Fire Lord and make things right…"
"I know you will. I'd say you're more than ready to take on the Fire Lord now." Katara said with a little chuckle.
"Haha, yeah probably…"
"So how are you feeling now?" Katara asked.
"Well now that I can control the Avatar State I feel great!" he happily exclaimed.
From on top of a tree branch, Chun was listening in. After getting back together with the others, She happened to hear their voices while looking for water and had been following them ever since. She was primed to simply kill him but… she just couldn't do it… "Why can't I do it!?" she screamed in her head. "I will be able to see my brother if I do this… but…" Chun clenched her left fist. "The Avatar is not even a bad guy… he's not angry for losing to Ozai, he's devastated… but he's had friends to help him through this." She remembered Wendy's smiling face. "Friends huh, that's what Wendy and I are, right? I wonder what she would think of me if she found out what I was doing… She'd probably hate me like Kobu does… I probably deserve it…" Chun turned away from Aang and Katara. "Well at least I can keep doing the right thing before I eventually have to what I have to…" she jumped away and landed on another tree, leaving Aang and Katara. "I don't know what to do! I don't know what to do!" 
"Hen… Wendy… Big brother… anybody… please tell me… What should I do!?" She said to herself while tears were falling down her cheeks.
----Aang and Katara found themselves in a clearing where the full moon was beaming down on it. There were plenty of stars in the sky.
"The sky looks beautiful tonight…" Katara said.
"Yeah…" Aang said and he looked at Katara. In his eyes, she looked incredibly beautiful, and with the dress and her in the moonlight. He couldn't contain himself. He walked closer to her. "Yeah it really is…"
Katara was blushing when Aang was getting close but she couldn't think straight… all that she was thinking about was Aang and with him this close, she could only focus one thing.
They were both blushing and they both hugged each other for several seconds before looking into each other's eyes. Soon they closed in before they finally kissed.
Lucy who was behind a tree and fist bumps. 
"Yes!" She whispered. "I did it!"
----The next morning, the sun shone through the windows to reveal all the chaos that took place in the guild. There were 10 of Erza's swords in the pillar that she was trying to get past.
Toph was on the ground and her eyes opened. 
"Did anyone get a number of that train?" She groggily asked.
Gajeel was flat on the ground. 
"Hey why can't I move…?" He asked. "I'm not tied down or anything…"
"You and me both." Zuko said as it was revealed that he, Gajeel, Toph and Alzack were on their backs and couldn't move for some reason.
Erza found her arms were tied up in bolas.
"What in the world just happened?" She asked. Next to her were Mira and Bisca who were also tied up. Mira also had a bruise from being headbutted in the stomach.
Suki found that she was pinned to the wall with what looked like red stilettos. 
"Whatever happened, it must have been something big… Ow, why does my head hurt?"
"Hey, what's going on here!?" Cana angrily asked as she was pinned next to Suki along with Macao, Wakaba, Elfman, and Makarov
Team Shadow Gear and The Thunder God Tribe were also on the floor, unable to move. 
"Did we get attacked?" Freed asked.
In the center of the guild; Sokka, Ty Lee, Iroh and Mai were lying on their backs, breathing heavily as the night had taken its toll on them.
"I vote… we never… speak of this… ever again…" Sokka panted.
"Agreed!" Mai, Ty Lee, and Iroh said in unison.
Outside the guild, Gray was lying flat on his back in the water. Happy flew over him. "Gray, hang in there! It's morning already, Gray!" Juvia made a bubble before appearing out of it and she was holding Gray's unconscious body. Katara surfed over to them on an ice board. 
"Juvia, Katara! You came to save him, right?" Happy asked.
"Gray-sama… I'm so sorry…" Juvia apologized. "To make you go through all that… The reason the potion didn't work was because Juvia's feelings for you weren't strong enough!" one of Juvia's tears landed in the water and Gray woke up.
"Uh… actually… about the potion…" Katara was about to interject but Juvia was so excited by Gray waking up.
"Juvia? What happened to me? My head feels like it was in a paint-mixer." Gray said.
"You're safe, thank goodness." Juvia said.
"She liiiikes you." Happy said which made Juvia blush.
"No wonder I feel all cold." Gray said looking to Juvia. "Stop gettin' me soaked. How many times to I have to tell you?"
Juvia comically screamed while Katara sweat dropped. "Juvia is shocked!" She turned from him.
"Huh? What is it?"
"It isn't enough, it just isn't!" Juvia chose to confess what she did. "And that's why Juvia…"
"Uh, it must have been some kind of prank…" Katara interrupted. "…Probably Natsu or Sokka, knowing them…"
Gray groaned and rubbed his head. "Figures. Remind me to pay them back when I get the chance."
Katara winked to Juvia when Gray wasn't looking. "Thank you, Katara."
"Geez, I'm so thirsty." He sees the potion floating in the water. "Give me that!" He started chugging it down while Katara and Juvia looked in horror.
"NOOOOO!" They both screamed.
Gray's face shifted through different colors before setting on his regular skin color with a blue haze on his forehead. Gray's eyes became swirly and he stood up with a pink electric energy surrounding him. Juvia looked at him with a love struck face while Happy was floating and he slumped his shoulders, and Katara facepalmed.
"This is my chance!" Juvia thought. "Juvia is over here!"
"LISTEN UP ARROGANT HORIZON! YOU ARE MY RIVAL NOW!" Gray yelled while pointing to said horizon. He ran on the water and into the distance and became a pink glint.
Juvia had her hand outstretched. "Gray-sama… wait." Juvia said with drops of tears falling from her eyes.
"I guess some people weren't meant to fly…"
Katara sighed and patted Juvia's back. "One day, Juvia. One day…"
----A day later Mira and Lucy were talking in the guild. "You saw what!?"
"Yeah, they totally did." Lucy said. "They actually kissed."
Mira smiled and had her eyes closed. "Lucy, you wouldn't have anything to do with, would you?"
Lucy had a devious smile on her face. "Who me?" "I should totally be a professional matchmaker!" She thought
"Lucy… you think Toph likes someone?" Mira asked.
"Huh, are you two talking about me?" Toph asked as she heard their conversation.
Lucy began sweating. "Toph… no way… she'll kill me if she found out I tried something… maybe Gaj…" Lucy stopped thinking immediately and looked at Toph.
"Well spit it out blondie!" Toph urged.
"I can't be a matchmaker!" "I QUIT!" She exclaimed as she comically ran through the doors of the guild.
Toph and Mira both had questions marks over their heads.
----Juvia and Katara meanwhile were at another place to find a love potion. Juvia urged an old woman to make her one.
"What? A spell to make feelings mutual doesn't exist…" The old woman said.
Katara patted Juvia on the back as she showed a face of disappointment. "I tried to tell you…"
----"Wait…" Gray found himself back on Galuna Island looking at the chief. "Why did I end up here?"
"It's the curse of the moon…" the chief briefly explained. "Now when are you guys going to come back and destroy the moon already?!" he asked pointing his staff at Gray.
----Chun meanwhile was walking through the South Gate park hoping to run into Wendy, but she didn't find her. "I guess she went back to her guild…" she heard loud snoring and turned to see Natsu asleep by the huge tree in the park with a shovel on the ground and a poorly dug hole.
"Fairy Tail… secrets…" Natsu muttered in his sleep.
As soon as Chun saw his Fairy Tail symbol on his right shoulder she started shivering. "Oh great… just my luck… Don't worry Chun… all I have to do is sneak out of here very quietly…" she stepped on a twig and Natsu's ears twitched before waking up. He saw her trying to creep away. "That's it… I'm finished!"
"Do I know you?" Natsu asked with a blank expression.
"Uh, um…" Chun stuttered.
"Never mind, I'm looking for something." He got closer to her so no one would hear him. Chun, on the other hand, was shaking. "It's a photo album that has embarrassing pictures of everyone in Fairy Tail, I've been digging since last night… hey, will you help me dig it out…? I promise it will be fun…" he said with his signature grin.
"Who… who are you?" Chun asked.
"Natsu Dragneel, I'm a Dragon Slayer." He then chuckled. A yellow line sped right through Chun's head as she remembered what Kobu told her about Dragon Slayers. She was beginning to rapidly sweat. "Hey, what's up with you, you look like you've seen a ghost." Chun needed to get out of there.
"O-oh look a big dragon!" She said pointing behind Natsu's back.
Natsu got excited. "Huh? WHERE!" He looked back but saw nothing… "Hey, kid, I don't see no-" he saw that Chun was gone and a yellow lined figure of her body was all that was left. "Well, that was weird… I know! Toph will help me!"
Chun was running through the streets of Magnolia. "Natsu Dragneel… a Dragon Slayer… If he found out who I really am… I'd be in a whole lot of trouble! Maybe I should tell Ping and… No, if I do that, she will want to attack Fairy Tail immediately… I'll just keep it to myself… no one else has to get hurt!" she thought.
She had made the decision to keep her and Natsu's encounter a secret.
