-EXTRA BONUS CHAPTER-
(Warning: Because of hinted adult themes and foul language, this will be rated T)
"Alright! And we're done!" Max declared as Natsu, Gajeel and their helping Exceeds finished placing the last ornaments on the guild's Christmas tree.
'Finally!' was the thought that flowed through every man's mind.
It was two more days until Christmas and Makarov, Mira and surprisingly Max separated the guild so each member can contribute in something. Seeing that it wasn't fair to make the girls decorate AND cook the holiday dinner, it was decided that the males would decorate the guild while the girls would do the cooking.
The guys tried to protest but were shot down by every Fairy Tail woman's evil glare. The cold stare Erza gave them indicated that any man who didn't help would be beaten and knocked unconscious for the holiday. Mira promised in a scary way that if the guild wasn't pretty none of them would get to eat.
And finally, after ending the pattern of decorate, destroy and repair, the guild was the best Christmas looking home in all of Magnolia. If only Laxus electrocuted everyone sooner then perhaps they could have finished hours ago.
"Come on Happy! I'm starving! Lucy's bound to be cooking something, even if its practice food!" Natsu exclaimed excitedly.
He could imagine all the food his blonde partner prepared. She'd probably have some slightly overdone chicken, or a bit too much of salt mash potatoes, or even just a close to non-existent burn on whatever dessert she cooked. Lucy was very picky on the dishes she would bring to the guild; she was determined for them to always be perfect. This worked for him because he always got to eat her 'failed' attempts without her nagging.
"Aye sir!" His blue feline agreed. "Maybe she has some fish!"
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea." Gray mumbled. "Better get out of here before Erza makes us try her cooking."
Every man shuddered. No matter how good the redhead looked in an apron and sundress, her cooking skills did not match the 'classic home cook' look she tried to give off. The side effects were always different yet never once has anyone NOT passed out from one bite.
Thankfully she hardly ever cooked; preferring to eat Mira's strawberry cake instead. But once word got out that 'Mystogan' would be coming on Christmas Eve, the female swallowed her pride and asked the oldest Strauss sibling to teach her to cook. Internally all the men screamed no but who was Mira to deny a chance at love?
"Wait! I have something for you!" Max called out; it stopped all the males from leaving. "I want to give you guys your Christmas presents early."
"Christmas presents!" Natsu and Happy cheered as they ran to the sand mage. The dragon slayer may or may not have run into Gray on the way there.
"Hey! Watch it flame-head!" The dark haired teen shouted.
"What'd you say ice pervert?" Natsu reported back.
"Wait your turn Salamander or don't you understand simple words?" Gajeel commented off the side.
"I can ask you bolts-for-brains!"
Before the three or anyone else could start a fight, they found themselves on the floor squished by Makarov's giant hand.
"Knock it off you brats! You will not destroy the guild you hear?!" The old man shouted. Even he feared a woman's wrath.
Max was able to pass out everyone's gifts after that; surprisingly they were all the same size just wrapped in different colors. Now curious, everyone opened their gifts.
It became silent…with some blood dripping off their noses.
"What…the fuck…ARE THESE?!" A blushing Gajeel yelled. Natsu couldn't tease him since he was probably just as red as he was.
With glowing pink on his cheeks, Max explained. "Those are body pillows; Christmas edition. They're going to be the souvenir shop's newest item after the holidays." A pervy smile slipped up. "Aren't they great?"
Great wasn't the word the fire mage was thinking of.
His body pillow had a picture of Lucy. The image was of the blonde doing a weird position. She was on her back with an arm extended over her head; in that hand was a red ribbon. Without her ribbon, her golden was spread out like a halo behind her. She wore a red and white Mrs. Santa Claus shirt and red skirt; the black buttons on the skirt were unbuttoned, exposing her large breasts and smooth stomach. Because she was drawn with her knee up, one side of the skirt was lifted up so her white panties could be shown. If you turned the pillow around, her entire butt was exposed because the skirt was 'lifted up'.
Yup; definitely not great, just weird, he thought blushing.
Peering over to the side, he sighed in relief when he noticed the ones Gajeel and Gray received were ones of Levy and Juvia.
"Why-why would we w-want these?" Gray stuttered; his face was practically steaming.
"Yeah." Natsu sniffed his pillow. "It doesn't even smell like Lucy." He pouted. It was disappointing that his gift didn't smell like the celestial wizard. But hey, now he had a better excuse to why he should cuddle with the real thing. Telling Lucy that his pillow wasn't as nice smelling or soft like her should do the trick right?
Looking to the side, he saw his rival butt-naked. The pink haired male nearly threw up. "Put some clothes on stripper! Now you're really being perverted!"
"Shit! Not again!"
Natsu wanted to comment and say he didn't need to see how happy Gray was to have a Juvia body pillow when he heard an argument.
"My Levy is better than yours!"
"No mine is!"
Droy and Jet were arguing about whose Levy pillow was better. He saw Gajeel bristle before he angrily stomped over to the pair.
"Oi! Who said you can own the shrimp?!" The iron dragon slayer demanded.
"LILY! WHY?!"
Hearing his little partner's cry, the male turned around to see Happy glaring at the black Exceed. Natsu couldn't tell if Lily was annoyed or nervous.
"Don't blame me! Max gave it to me!" He argued
"I knew you liked her! This only proves it! Lily prepare to die!" The blue cat charged at his opponent with a funny looking sword.
So they were fighting about the Carla body pillows they both received…
He turned away from the cat fight to see the other mages' reactions. Elfman was muttering stuff how the body pillows were very unmanly but manly to have? Whatever that meant.
Bickslow and his thingys looked disturbed at how much Freed was gushing over his specially customized Laxus body pillow.
Speaking of Laxus, the lightening dragon slayer looked he was ready to murder all the perverted men (cough, Makarov, Wakaba and Macao; who were snuggling with their Mira body pillows.)
The fire mage shifted his gaze back to Gajeel, who was attempting to eat Droy and Jet's body pillows. He said he could taste metal in them; either way the black haired male looked stupid doing it.
Gray was putting on clothes and taking them off whenever he looked at the Juvia pillow; Happy and Lily were still fighting; Elfman was now talking to Bickslow about his conflicted feelings; all the old men had been electrocuted and Laxus was now making his way to Freed's body pillow- no doubt to destroy it.
Natsu didn't get it; why was everyone getting so emotional about Max's gifts? Did they all catch Lucy's weirdness or something?
From the corner of his eye, he noticed some of the male guild members (Warren, Reedus, Vijeeter and a few of the new guys) standing in the corner with….LUCY BODY PILLOWS?!
"I feel a dance coming on!" Vijeeter stated as he danced with his pillow. He had hearts for eyes which Natsu didn't like.
Nab, who was behind him without a pillow, let out an annoyed sigh. "Stop with the dancing; it's ridiculous."
"Seeing that you guys liked them, now I'm more confident Loke's going to like his." Max commented as he held a large present with a tag that read 'Loke.' "I'm going to take it back since he didn't show up today. Hopefully I'll have a chance to give it to him tomorrow."
So not only did they have Lucy body pillows but Loke was also getting one?!
'Like hell I'm letting that happen!'
"ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!"
Soon that side of the guild was destroyed and the guild mates who were standing there were burned and knocked out.
Before Makarov or Laxus could beat him for destroying what they've worked so hard on, the pink haired male pointed to the unconscious bodies in an accused manner. "PERVERTS!" He shouted before running out of the guild.
A sweat drop appeared on the remaining their foreheads.
"He does realize he is running through the public with an exotic image of Lucy on a body pillow, doesn't he?" Freed asked. By the way, he was still clenching onto his gift since his idol threatened to take it from him.
"Knowing that idiot he probably doesn't." The ice mage commented.
"Ghibibi. 2000J that Salamander goes straight to bunny girl's house with that thing." Gajeel chuckled.
"Add an extra 2000J that she'll kick him out the moment she sees him." Gray added.
"Aye!"
The men laughed at the image of Natsu being beaten by his blonde partner; served him right for being an idiot.
Karma did strike back though when the Fairy Tail girls (minus Lucy, who was dealing with Natsu at her apartment) walked in a few minutes later and saw that guild still a mess and body pillows with their pictures cradled in the men's arms. No excuses got them out of their beating (minus Gray who was glomped by Juvia and practically suffocated from all her love). Everyone had to help clean up the guild (again) and this time they weren't allowed to make any mistakes.
Stupid body pillows.
...
...
(Extended Ending)
"NATSU GET OFF!"
"NO! NOT UNTIL YOU HUG IT!"
"I WON'T! STOP IT! I WON'T BE ABLE TO BREATHE!"
Currently the pink haired teen was sitting on top of Lucy; his legs straddled her hips as he pressed the body pillow against her torso and face. The female was doing her best to get the pillow off of her but so far she hadn't been able to.
"Damn it Luce!" He growled. "If you don't want to snuggle with me then hug the pillow so it can have your scent and I can cuddle with it."
"No way! That's wrong on so many levels!" She complained.
"Ohhhh..." Natsu gave her a smirk. "I get it. You're just jealous."
The blonde looked at him like he grew a second head. "You're kidding. Why would I be jealous OF A PILLOW?!"
He shrugged. "I don't know. You're just weird."
"I AM NOT!"
"So you'll let me sleep with you on your awesome bed?!" The dragon slayer beamed.
"NO WAY! STOP BEING PERVERTED!"
"HUG THE PILLOW!"
"NO!"

Dedicated to Animegal712, who gave me the idea of body pillows, and ishould-stab-u, who wanted a Christmas story; hopefully I didn't disappoint any of you.
I know this isn't my best work. Personally my mood for writing fanfics has been going down since that one episode with Pisces was introduced in the new arc. I know I've been complaining a lot about the Celestial Arc so forgive me if you hear me whine over and over again. It's just hard to write about your favorite character when she's being brushed aside in an arc she should be starring in.
Anyways, moving on- I don't have anything against Erza- I just remember when she was in a nurse outfit; all the guys were hypnotized by her appearance yet were tortured by her nursing skills. I just figured it would be the same thing with cooking.
The sword Happy got is used for fencing (got that from that clip- Lily prepare to die on Youtube). If you're confused why Elfman was confused well it's because he couldn't decide if having a body pillow was manly or not. If you've seen Fairy Tail episode 159, you would know why I choose Vijeeter and Warren to have Lucy body pillows. Earlier in the show, Reedus had a sketch of maid Lucy so I'm sure he's just as perverted as them.
