Spike the Fairy

Getting Along

It is 9:00 in the morning in Magnolia. Spike is waking up after a good sleep. He sees Lucy preparing breakfast.

"Morning, Spike. You had a good night's sleep?"

"Yea," Spike yawns as he gets out of bed. "It felt like I slept for two days."

"Actually, you did sleep for two days," Said Lucy.

"What?!" Spike said in shock.

"And this time, I'm not joking around. You were asleep for two days straight."

"Wow," Spike places his claw on his head. "I guess increasing my size caused me to sleep a bit more cause I didn't have any headaches or nosebleeds whatsoever."

"Who knows," Said Lucy. "We were worried about you. I didn't leave the apartment yesterday in case you woke up."

"Wow, thanks for looking out for me."

"You're welcome," Lucy smiles. "Hungry?" Lucy has bacon and eggs ready for Spike. She hears Spike's stomach growling.

"Yes, I am," Spike makes his bed and freshens up for the day. He comes back and sits at the table. "Hey, Lucy?"

"Yea, Spike?" Lucy finish setting up the table.

"How is Lisanna?"

"She's great; she spent some time with Elfman and Mirajane ever since she came back with us from Edolas. We're going to bring her to the guildhall later."

Spike takes a deep breath. "I have something in mind for Lisanna."

"You do?" Lucy puts eggs and bacon on Spike's plate.

"Yea. I've decided to take her with me to the Akane Resort. For us to bond better as friends since she sees me as her tormentor."

"Oh, right. Spike Knightwalker."

"Yea.., he's a monster. I don't want Lisanna to see me as Spike Knightwalker. I want her to see me as Spike the Fairy. You know, Fairy Dragon."

"Of course. Natsu and the others feel the same. Lisanna feels guilty for how she reacted towards you. She asked of you, and well, all I can tell her was that you were sleeping."

"So, what time are we supposed to meet up with her?"

"In an hour, Spike. Plenty of time to get our fill before we leave."

"Yea, thank you, Lucy."

"You're welcome."

The two eat their breakfast. Spike thinks about how to approach Lisanna. He also wonders how Wendy is doing. After a while of eating, Spike decides to wash the dishes. After he finishes, Lucy grabs her belongings and leaves the apartment with Spike. Natsu and Happy are waiting for Lucy and Spike outside of the apartment. They start talking as they head on over to the Fairy Tail Guildhall.

"Hey, Spike. Had a good nap?" Said Natsu.

"I did. I want to say the extra day of sleep could be a new side effect for increasing my size a whole lot in Edolas."

"That's good. Better than having a migraine and a nosebleed," Said Happy.

"Definitely. So, how are things with you two?"

"Things are alright. Happy, and I was pretty worried about you yesterday. Same can be said for the others."

"So, how was it at the guildhall?" Spike asks.

"Don't know. We spent time with Lisanna yesterday. Even Gajeel and Panther Lily stood by to know who Lisanna is. Gajeel even spoke about how great you are," Natsu answers.

"Wait, what?" Spike is confused.

"Well, after you left us when Lisanna freaked out, Gajeel wanted to let Lisanna know how different you are compared to Spike Knightwalker."

"Wow, how did she react to it?"

"She was quite surprised to hear the opposite of you but, we figure that she may have some trouble getting used to seeing you around cause the Edolas Fairy Tail always runs away from your counterpart," Happy explains.

"My counterpart did vicious atrocities not only at the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild but numerous Dark Guilds as well. He even killed Fairy Tail's Guild Master."

"You know, we have never seen the Guild Master so, who it was, Spike?" Natsu asks.

"Gildarts."

Natsu and Happy gasps. "Whoa! You gotta be kidding me?! Your counterpart killed Gildarts?!" The two freak out.

"Yea. He did," Spike nods.

"What else did your counterpart tell you?" Lucy asks.

"Too much. I rather not talk about it."

"Fair enough," Said Lucy.

Natsu, Happy, Lucy, and Spike meets up with Gray, Erza, Wendy, Carla, Elfman, Mirajane, and Lisanna at the guildhall. Lisanna looks away at Spike a little. She still sees Knightwalker's face.

"Hey, glad that you're okay, Spike," Wendy said, approaching him.

"Thanks," Spike smiles.

Lisanna walks into the guildhall first as everyone watches her. Everyone else in the guildhall is overjoyed to see Lisanna after thinking she was dead this whole time. Lucy is happy that the guild is the same as before. Erza is glad to see them safe and sound.

Gajeel and Panther Lily arrive at the guildhall. "Hey, Fairy Dragon. How are you holding up?"

"Good Gajeel, thanks," Spike answers.

Panther Lily sees what it's like being in a guild. Master Makarov approaches Lisanna, letting her know how happy he is seeing Lisanna. Master Makarov decides that everyone should celebrate Lisanna's return to Fairy Tail. Everyone welcomes Lisanna back to Fairy Tail and starts partying.

Spike walks up to Panther Lily. "So, how did you fare with Spike Knightwalker?"

"Apparently, the sword you gave me lasted for fifteen minutes. Not an hour. Fighting Knightwalker without a weapon proved to be too much of a challenge. If you're asking about my health, I'm recovering quite well. How did you fare against him?"

"I beat him twice. The first encounter, I defeated him. The second encounter, Gray lend me his ice magic, and I took him down. He has a similar arsenal with his weaponry with some of my magic. Sorry about the sword. I thought it would last an hour. I'm still new to using that spell."

"Apologies accepted. I hope we can become great friends. Considering I never liked Lieutenant Knightwalker."

"Sounds good to me, Panther Lily," Spike and Panther Lily do a fist bump.

Spike, Gajeel, and Panther Lily see Natsu running amuck a little, having fun roughhousing several guild members. Natsu runs up to Gildarts, wanting to fight him. Gildarts slap him on the head lightly as Natsu crashes into the floor.

"Geez, they're sure a rowdy bunch, aren't they?" Panther Lily said.

"I think that's everyone's first impression of Fairy Tail," Carla said.

"There's never a dull moment," Said Happy.

"So, everyone possesses a magic power or some sort?" Panther Lily asks.

"That's correct. The same holds true for all Earth Land wizards," Erza said.

"Hey, Sis," Spike waves.

"Erza," Panther Lily looks up at Erza.

"However, I don't think the magic itself is what's most important. I believe it's the hearts of those who wield it, wouldn't you agree, Lily?" Erza looks down at Panther Lily.

"You may be a different Erza, but I have to admit, I find it comforting I have a familiar face around here. As for you, Spike, better face than the other Knightwalker."

Gajeel goes up to Natsu, proclaiming that his cat can beat the stuffing out of his cat. Natsu says that Happy can beat Panther Lily anytime, anywhere. Wendy becomes worried cause she doesn't want Carla fighting with Happy and Panther Lily. Then all of a sudden, Natsu and Gajeel start throwing punches. Soon enough, everyone else starts fighting each other in a brawl.

"Spike wants," Spike increases his size matching Erza's height. "Cannonball!" Spike jumps into the brawl and joins in.

Spike throws punches and kicks left and right. He did promise to join in the next time he sees a brawl in the guildhall. Gajeel and Spike throw down harder than anyone. The two look like they're about to take it further.

"Hey, Spike. Natsu. What was I like in this other world you visited?" Master Makarov said.

"You were the King of Edolas that we defeated, Master," Spike answers.

"Wow. Does that mean that I was evil?" Master Makarov asks.

"Well, driven with mad power is the correct term," Spike said.

"So, what was I like over there? Was I a dashing prince or a great soldier?" Gildarts asks, sitting next to Master Makarov.

"You were Edolas Fairy Tail Guild Master but, you died," Natsu answers.

"What?!" Gildarts yells. "Who killed me?!"

"Edolas version of Spike the Fairy," Natsu points to Spike.

Gildarts and Makarov gasp in horror. They can't believe that Edolas Spike killed Gildarts.

"Spike Knightwalker told me he did it a month ago. He never went into full detail about how he did it. You still ready to throw down next week, Gildarts?" Spike asks.

"Yes, I am. I'm eager to test my new body now that the operation is a success."

"Wait! What!? Why him?! Why not me?!" Natsu complains a bit.

"This is why," Gildarts slaps Natsu's head again as he crashes into the floor again. "I need a tougher opponent."

Natsu gets up and goes back to brawling with the others. Spike walks around in search of Lisanna. He finds her talking with Mirajane, Lucy, and Wendy. He takes a deep breath and approaches her.

"Hey, Lisanna," Spike calmly greet.

"H-Hey, Spike Kn-the Fairy," Lisanna trembles a bit but remembers that this isn't Spike Knightwalker.

"I know that it's hard seeing me as you remember Spike Knightwalker, so to help forget about him and you see the real me, I want to take you to the Akane Resort," Spike presents a ticket for Lisanna.

"The Akane Resort!" Lisanna takes the ticket. "I remember that place being very expensive and fun."

"Yea, I never been there before, but I heard the stories. I won the tickets from the annual bingo tournament."

"It was a four-way tie. Spike melts the hearts of everyone with a song to break the tiebreaker," Mirajane said, remembering the melody Spike played.

"Wow," Lisanna sees the goodness in Spike's eyes. "I'll be happy to go with you."

"Awesome," Spike smiles.

The rest of the day goes accordingly, with everyone having fun. The next day, Spike and Lisanna go on their way to the Akane resort together. Throughout their time there, Spike and Lisanna connect with each other better. Spike shares some stories of his previous days in Equestria before coming to Earth Land. He tells her so much of what he can do and has already done for the Guild. Lisanna tells him stories of her younger days in the Fairy Tail Guild. How she and Natsu raised Happy like a family. Lisanna apologizes to Spike for how she behaved, and Spike told her he understood the canny resemblance. He knew it would take time.

Spike and Lisanna created many memories at the Akane Resort, taking many goofy pictures, riding on the amusement park rides, winning big in the casinos, laughing, and enjoying each other's company as good friends would. They bought many souvenirs with their winnings at the Akane Resort.

After three days of enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other better, the two decide to walk back to Magnolia. So they can sightsee as they travel. Throughout the time, Lisanna has slowly forgotten about Spike Knightwalker's image on Spike the Fairy. She sees Spike the Fairy as an honest, noble, fun-loving friend. She admits it's cool being friends with the only dragon in Earth Land. Spike chuckles at that statement.

It is now 3:30 in Magnolia. Spike and Lisanna walk back into the guildhall to see how everyone is doing.

"Hey, you two. Welcome back," Mirajane said, welcoming Spike and Lisanna from their trip.

"Thanks," Spike and Lisanna said in unison.

"Hey, Spike. Hey, Lisanna. How was the Akane resort?" Lucy approaches the two.

"A lot of fun, Lucy. Spike and I had a lot of fun. We gambled a bit and won some serious winnings, laughed, took some silly photos, went on the amusement park rides, and chill together by the beach. The water was fantastic."

"I got you a souvenir, Lucy," Spike gives Lucy an Akane Resort neon color shirt.

"Thanks, Spike," Lucy smiles, holding the shirt.

"I got you one as well, Mira," Lisanna gives her sister the shirt.

"Thanks, Lisanna. I'll try it on later," Mirajane smiles.

"Huh, where did everyone go?" Spike sees that more than half the guild is gone.

"Oh, they're out on jobs as this month gets pretty busy with everyone," Mirajane said.

"Well, in that case, I'll be heading home. I still have one luggage to bring back to the apartment safe and sound."

"Oh, what is it, Spike?" Lucy asks.

"The remaining amount of my winnings. 550,000 Jewels after getting a Royal Flush playing poker against Ichiya of Blue Pegasus. He bet all his winnings and got a full house of 2's and 3's."

"Wow," Lucy and Mirajane said in shock.

"I have to admit, seeing him bragging that he had the hot hand was hilarious when he saw Spike getting the Royal Flush. I have never seen him swear at the card keeper like that. He threw every word in the book at him," Lisanna said.

"Yea," Spike chuckles. "He had to be escorted out for disturbing the peace. I think he was drunk too."

"Had to be drunk, Spike," Lisanna said.

"So, how much you won, Lisanna?" Mirajane asks.

"700,000 Jewels in a game of roulette."

"Wow!" Mirajane and Lucy said.

"I gambled a bit too much, and well, Spike helped me from gambling more that night. We'll be set for the next while, Mira."

"Anyway, I'll see you two later. I'm heading back home," Spike said.

"See you later, Spike," Lisanna hugs Spike wholeheartedly.

"I'm coming with you, Spike," Said Lucy.

Lucy and Spike start walking to the apartment. Spike tells Lucy more about the trip and how he wished he had more tickets to take every one of his friends there. Lucy chuckles a little. She's glad that things with Lisanna and him are going in the right direction. That Lisanna will no longer see Spike the Fairy as Spike Knightwalker.
