Chapter 1 It All Started With That Stupid Wish
Lucy was walking home from the guild one evening. As she reached her apartment, she opened the door to go inside only to find none other than Natsu and Happy... raiding her fridge?
"Natsu! Quit breaking into my house and raiding my fridge!" she exclaimed as soon as she saw them.
"Huh? Hey Lucy," Natsu said when he heard the door open. "We kinda got hungry while we were waiting for you, so we just kinda helped ourselves."
"That doesn't make it ok to raid someone else fridge for food!" Lucy snapped. "Both of you go home!"
"Well geez, it's not something to get upset over," Natsu replied.
"Hey Lucy, I found some fish in here that I started eating," Happy said with a fish in his mouth.
"I don't care! Now both of get out, go home, and go raid your own fridge for your own food!" Lucy shouted at them. "Better yet, I wish... I wish the Goblin King would come and take you both away, right now!" she said before going back outside to take a walk to calm down, slamming the door shut behind her, leaving a confused Natsu and Happy wondering what she meant by that and what the heck a goblin king was.
It wasn't long before she realized what she had just said, and what she just wished for. Sure she never liked it when Natsu and Happy were at her house whenever she got home, but she hadn't really meant to take it that far and wish them away like that. They were her team after all, and she still cared about them. And there was no way that goblins and the Goblin King really existed, right? Right? Besides, she had never actually met any goblins anywhere in Fiore before anyway. Shaking her head, she turned around and ran as fast as she could back to her apartment to see if they were still there. She was out of breath by the time she made it back, and she slowly opened the door and walked in only to find all the lights out.
"Natsu?! Happy?!" Lucy called out, but with no answer. "If this is a joke, it's not funny!" she shouted frantically. She tried to turn the lights back on, but for some reason they weren't working anymore. "That's it! Quit fooling around already, you guys, and come out!" Now she was worried, which almost caused her to panic. Then she realized something. Ok, pull yourself together, Lucy. Maybe they just went back to the guild, that's all, she thought, as she ran out of her apartment and back to the guild. As she arrived back at the Fairy Tail guild, she nearly ran into Erza as she skidded to a stop.
"Lucy," the requip wizard said. "I thought you'd gone home already."
"Erza, did Natsu and Happy come back here?" Lucy asked.
"I actually haven't seen them since we got back from that job earlier," Erza replied. "Why? Did something happen?" she asked, when she noticed the panicked expression on the celestial wizard's face.
"Well, I kinda got mad at them like I normally do whenever they break into my house," Lucy began. "And today they were raiding my fridge when I got home, and I guess I kinda lost it with them... and, well-" she trailed off as she couldn't bring herself to mention the wish.
"Oh Lu-chan, you didn't say 'that wish' to send them away, did you?" Levy asked.
"I didn't literally mean for it to actually work though," Lucy said. "I was just frustrated with them for getting into my house that I just accidently let it slip out."
"What exactly was this wish you said?" Makarov asked her.
"Well, I kinda ended up saying that I wished that the Goblin King would come and take them away," Lucy admitted. "But I didn't mean it literally. I mean, I didn't think goblins actually existed since I've never actually met any goblins or the Goblin King before. I don't even know why or how I even knew that wish anyway."
"Way to go, Lucy, you actually got rid of the pyro," Gray said sarcastically, joining the conversation.
"This isn't funny, Gray!" Lucy snapped at him. "We have to find a way to get Natsu and Happy back!" she exclaimed frantically.
"Lu-chan, calm down," Levy said. "I'm sure we can find a way to get them back. But first we should go back to your apartment to make sure nobody trashed it after Natsu and Happy disappeared."
"Yeah, thanks Levy-chan," Lucy replied, as both girls headed back to Lucy's apartment.
"Ok, what was the first thing you noticed after you made the wish?" Levy asked, once they were inside Lucy's house.
"Well, Natsu and Happy were both gone, and the lights were suddenly off," Lucy began. "And when I tried to turn the lights back on, they wouldn't turn on."
"Hmm..." Levy flipped on the lights, and they came right on this time. "Well, nothing looks trashed. But it does look like Natsu put up a good fight before he and Happy were captured," she said, when she noticed some spots in Lucy's kitchen that looked charred due to Natsu's flames.
"Natsu! Happy! Are you guys still here?!" Lucy called out, as she suddenly saw a white owl fly by the window. But Lucy only saw it as the familiar fish loving blue cat she knew. "Happy!" she exclaimed happily, going over to the window to get a better look.
The owl suddenly flew towards the open window, startling the celestial wizard as it suddenly turned into a strange looking man.
"Kyaa!" Lucy shrieked in surprise.
"Lu-chan, what happened?" Levy said, going over to see what happened to her friend.
"Levy-chan, I-I don't know how but I think I somehow turned Happy into an owl which turned into a creepy weirdo!" Lucy said as she was seriously freaking out over it. "And I thought the guild was already full of weirdos," she muttered.
"Um, Lu-chan, I don't think that owl ever was Happy," Levy said.
"But if it wasn't Happy-" Lucy started to say, before suddenly turning to the strange man standing there. "Just who the heck are you? And where are Natsu and Happy?" she asked in a slightly demanding tone.
"I believe you know very well where your two friends are, Lucy Heartfilia," the Goblin King told her. "You were the one who wished them away after all."
"Then, y-you've gotta be the Goblin King," Lucy stammered, surprised that he would know her name. "I didn't actually mean to wish them away like that. It's just, well, I don't really like always finding them in my house right as I'm getting home. But I didn't mean to actually just wish them away, it just sort of slipped out. And wait a minute, how did you even know my name anyway?"
"Oh you didn't mean to, did you?" the Goblin King replied, ignoring her question about how he knew her name at the moment. "But what's said is said. You already wished them away, and I simply came and took them away."
"But Natsu and Happy are my friends, as well as part of my team," Lucy said. "And not to mention they were the ones who helped me get into Fairy Tail when I first join. Please, I'll do anything to get them back." She was almost in tears as she pleaded with the Goblin King to bring Natsu and Happy back.
"Your two friends are still safe, for now," Jareth told her. "They are both there inside my castle."
As he said that, Lucy's house began to fade from around them as both Lucy and Levy now found themselves at the edge of a huge labyrinth before they could even blink. Sure they were Fairy Tail, and sure they've seen many strange things before, but this just took the cake.
"The castle beyond the Goblin City," Levy half whispered in surprise.
"Whoa! Ok, that looks kinda far," Lucy admitted, as she was suddenly beginning to have her doubts about this whole situation.
"It is farther than you think," Jareth warned her. "I'd suggest you turn back now before it's too late, Lucy."
"No!" Lucy replied determinedly. "There's one thing you should know about us Fairy Tail wizards! It's that they never give up or turn their back on a comrade, ever! And knowing Natsu's destructive nature, I bet he'll try to escape or just burn the entire place down with his flames!" Thankfully being around Natsu was beginning to affect her, as she knew the pyro would have said the exact same thing.
"Oh I very much doubt he would be able to burn down the entire Labyrinth," Jareth assured her. "And you will be given thirteen hours to solve the Labyrinth if you wish to see him and that blue cat again."
"Well, you coming, Lu?" Levy asked, turning to her friend.
"Huh? Yeah," Lucy replied as she hurried off after her friend.
"Lucy, Levy, wait up!" they heard Gray's voice call out. Sure enough, the ice wizard had managed to catch up with them. "Me and Erza are coming with you guys," he told them.
"So we have to find a way through this labyrinth then?" Erza said. "In that case," she requipped into something more suitable for solving a labyrinth. "Now let's go! Onward, to the labyrinth!" With that said (and dramatically, I might add), the redhead charged off, with Lucy and the others not far behind as they headed towards the Labyrinth.
WHOO-HOO! First chapter of my Fairy Tail-Labyrinth crossover done! This was going to be the first Fairy Tail crossover with Labyrinth, but unfortunately somebody else beat me to it. So now it'll have to be the second Fairy Tail with Labyrinth, but all the same I hope you like it. I can't guarantee when I will have an update on this story, so just try to be patient with me. And for those of you still waiting for an update on Team Natsu and the One Ring, I'm almost finished with the next chapter so just bear with me on that. Remember, patience is a virtue. All good things to those who wait. And my wrist tends to start hurting if I type for long periods of time. So if you ever wonder why I'm taking forever with an update, now you know why. Anywayz, R&R ^_^ Oh, and I apologize if you might think Jareth sounds a little OOC, I was just trying to tweak his lines a little bit so it wouldn't end up sounding like I was copying the movie. And also let me know if you want Hoggle, Ludo and Didymus to be included in this or not. Anyway, please review. Flames will be devoured by Natsu.
