Hello everyone! This is a story that was inspired, it was a perfect match, The world needs more NaVia! Anyways thanks for taking the time to read this! Just an FYI, this story isn't going to head off completely in the tragedy's sense. But I might depending on what I feel like later :)

I do not own Fairy Tail or Romeo and Juliet, that goes to Hiro Mashima and William Shakespeare

The town's marketplace was busy with people running up and about, trying to get the last items they need for their daily lives. Jet and Droy happened to be part of the commotion, searching through all the tents for essences and oils. Tensions between the Dragneel's and the Lockser's were significantly high lately, and it reached to the point where even civilian lives were lost in the feud. Two unlucky people caught the eye of Jet and Droy.

"Say, it's that Wakaba guy." Jet growled.

"And Macao." They looked at each other mischievously. Droy tossed two beans beside Macao, and they sprouted into two long tentacles. They grabbed either side of Macao's pants and pulled them down. Jet used his high speed and flashed around Wakaba turning his signature hairdo into an afro. The two males yelled in surprise as the townspeople began laughing and pointing at their misfortune.

"Was it you two who did this to us?" Wakaba growled, throwing his cigarette to the side.

"Are you speaking to us?" Jet gave him a hard look.

"What if we are talking to you, punks?" Macao cracked his knuckles.

"Are you trying to start something with us?" Droy stepped forward challenging him.

"What if we are?" The four had a stare down, forehead to forehead, eye to eye.

The townspeople stopped laughing as Jet and Droy began unleashing all their power to the two older males. They countered with their own attacks, and started smashing into the tents, and bringing down all the produce. Some townspeople began to run away, desperate not to get caught up in the feud, whereas others unsheathed their swords ready to join the fight. Droy caught Wakaba around the neck with one of his vines and started choking him.

There were two slices and his plant fell down, chopped to pieces.

"R-Rogue!"

The male sheathed his Shadow Dragon blade, and looked at the four angrily. "Again with the fighting? People, when will this end? No one even remembers why it started, why can't we just settle down and go our separate ways. There is no need to shed more blood!" His red eyes flashed with fire. "There is no point in fighting; we all need to keep the peace!"

"I'll piece your ass!" They all turned in shock only to see a large and powerful man stand with a giant smirk on his face. "Just what do you think you're doing? A Dragneel on the Lockser's side." He took out a sharp sword, made of the toughest iron in the country.

"I'm only trying to separate them." Rogue replied. "You, gentleman, should help me. Let us show them with example."

"The only example the Lockser's will give to the Dragneel's is what happens when you cross the border!" Gajeel lunged to Rogue, and they clashed swords. "Now fight you pansy, or I'll cut you to pieces!" Gajeel did a flurry of attacks to Rogue, but he calmly deflected all of them, vainly trying to gain some sort of peace. The marketplace was torn to shreds, and even people were caught in the crossfire between the two. Suddenly, the whole Lockser and Dragneel clan were pouring into the center.

Jellal, the patriarch of the Lockser family, spotted Igneel, the patriarch of the Dragneel family, who took out his flaming axe. "Take my coat, wife, and wait for me on the other side of the marketplace."

Ultear was met with a face full of coat-fur. "Don't go- you'll only get-"

"Shut up you insolent woman." Jellal glared holes at her. "Listen as your Lord has spoken." He began yelling threats at Igneel, who was nearing every second.

An enormous hand smashed on the floor, sending a mass shockwave. Everyone stopped and kneeled, realizing who it was. "Another fight, eh? Stand before your king, Dragneel and Lockser." Jellal and Igneel glared at each other before coming to Makarov. "Everyday I am met with another complaint, another family grieving, another family begging for justice. Why? Because everyday another innocent life is lost because of this feud!" His voice echoed through the stone walls. "This is my warning to you all, if there is another fight between you two families, the price to pay is death. Have I made myself clear?" He looked as the two nodded. "Now be gone!"

Rogue walked alongside his red-headed uncle, who was visibly fuming with anger. "That bastard! He goes along thinking he owns all of Magnolia. Tell me, Rogue, how did this fight begin?!" Rogue cowered a little, seeing Igneel nearly light up into flames.

"Jet and Droy began harassing those two… Wakaba and Macao. I came in time to stop them from fighting until that bastard Gajeel started picking a fight with me. I tried to get him to hold back, but he attacked me, and I only defended myself. I'm sorry, Igneel."

Igneel sighed out. "It's not your fault." They walked along the cobblestone walkway in silence, until Igneel spoke again. "Something is wrong with my son. You don't care to enlighten me?"

Rogue only gave him an "are you kidding me" look. "I'm sure you already know. It's the same reason he's been sulking for the past month. The woman of his affections has made it official she wants to become a nun."

"The Lisanna girl, right?" Igneel looked ahead.

"Yes, her. Natsu goes on and on about her," he immediately mocked his love struck cousin. "I don't know what I'm doing wrong Rogue. Lisanna loves me, she lives me not. Elfman tried beat me up today just because I was trying to talk to Lisanna. This makes me so angry I could burn this village! ARR!"

Igneel and Rogue erupted into laughter the rest of the way to the Dragneel palace. "I don't know. I've never seen him like this before." Igneel stopped once he saw his pink haired son give them an empty look, and head into the courtyard.

"Excuse me, I need to go talk with him and see what's bothering him now." Rogue said. Igneel nodded and Rogue headed off into the courtyard in pursuit of Natsu.

The courtyard was a sight to look at, there were red, orange, and yellow flowers scattered all over; bushes and trees bearing all sorts of fruits and animals. Natsu made his way to the stone bench, and stared up at the blue sky, squinting as the sun blasted him.

"Good morning, Natsu-kun." Rogue flipped his black hair away from his face. "How is your morning so far?"

He expected the loud groan coming from him. And here comes the 'I don't know Rogue'. Natsu lay back on the bench putting his hands in his hair. "I don't know Rogue!" He growled. "She didn't even look at me today! I tried to take her to church, but she started yelling at me when I reached for her hand. Hell, she even got Elfman to chase me away!" He sat back up once Rogue neared him and sat next to him. "Damn shape shifters…" He muttered.

Rogue rolled his eyes but tried to be careful with Natsu's feelings. "You know Natsu-kun, sometimes things aren't meant to be the way we want them to be." Yeah… That sounds like a wise piece of advice.

It seemed to work because Natsu only looked boredly at the tree next to them. "Tell me Rogue. What's there about me that wouldn't make me appealing to her?" He turned his onyx eyes to his cousin, and best friend.

He wants me to be cruelly honest. Rogue sighed. "Nothing, in any other woman's eyes, you're the perfect man. Maybe it's your destructive nature, or your hard-headedness that puts her off."

"I AM NOT DESTRUCTIVE!" Natsu gripped the stone bench and flipped Rogue off before ripping it in two. "AND I AM NOT A HARD-HEAD!" He roared, and Rogue could practically see the dragon come out from him. They weren't called the 'Dragneel's' for nothing. Natsu realized what he did and collapsed onto the ground, sulking. "I am a monster… Rogue-kun why didn't you tell me before I am a monster?"

Rogue quickly came up with an idea to make him feel better. "Hey, I have an idea. Let's go find Sting-kun."

"Ultear didn't want me to join in, but a man has to do what a man has to do." Jellal walked along his marble floor, his heels making a tapping noise as he walked. He paused every so often to look out another large window.

"It's such a shame what happened today." The raven haired man said catching up to him. "So… Have you considered my offer?"

Jellal turned around and stared at him. "Juvia is the most precious thing I have. Even more than my own wife. She's as free and untamable as the ocean, but she also is as beautiful as the ocean. I don't want my daughter to get married young to a man she doesn't know, let alone even love. That was the mistake I made when I married Ultear."

Just as he said that to him, his wife walked out from a room, and scowled at him before walking in the opposite direction.

The two shared an awkward moment before the raven haired male spoke again. "If I may, I'd like to attempt to win my lady's affections."

Jellal grabbed Gray into an embrace. "Very well said my son! Tonight I shall throw a party, and invite all the citizens of Magnolia in honor of this possible marriage!" The two turned their heads to look at out the window. Juvia ran out laughing loudly, and was followed by a blonde woman.

"Lucy can't catch Juvia!" Juvia laughed. She looked through the window and saw her father on the other side. "Hi daddy!" She waved frantically before Lucy caught her by the arm, the two women laughing and running off again.

Gray only stared at her in awe, she was charming, and someone he'd certainly love to be with. Jellal turned his head to see him stare at his daughter, completely smitten. He smiled and said "You shouldn't have a problem winning my Juvia over."

Rogue and Natsu found Sting in the library, harassing some maids as they were dusting the room up. Natsu remained gloomy as ever, and Rogue only 'tched' in frustration. "Sting, this is important."

"What's up with the flame-head?" Sting asked leaning on one of the bookshelves.

Natsu's face changed from a kicked puppy to an angry dragon in a split second. "What was that?" He growled menacingly.

Rogue was quick to change the subject. "So! Sting! Mind telling NATSU, the big surprise?" He waited on the blonde to speak, but he only gave him a blank look for five seconds. Is this whole family full of idiots or something?

"OH YEAH! THE SURPRISE!" Sting began to laugh heartily, scaring the maids at his sudden outburst, and even jolting Rogue and Natsu to their feet. "I got us some invitations to the hottest party of the century! Tonight we're going to the Lockser's masquerade party!"

"Whoop-di-doo…" Natsu said with the least joy Rogue had ever heard him speak in. "Who's going to be at this-" he threw his hands up mockingly before slumping onto the plush couch. "Party of the century?"

"Oh you know, Cana, Freed, Levy, Bickslow, Evergreen, Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna-"

"Lisanna?" Natsu shot up. "Lisanna is going to be at the party? I'm going then!"

"Alzack, Bisca, um… Reedus, Max, Nab…" Sting was still going on with the list, oblivious to Natsu's sudden change. Rogue facepalmed and smacked Sting on the head. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"Natsu-kun, you know Lisanna will only give you the same amount attention that she has been giving you for the past month, right?" Rogue said.

"You don't know anything Rogue!" Natsu snapped back.

Sting slumped his arms around both of their shoulders, making squishy faces at them. "Puh-Lease." He spat and brought his frowning friends closer to him. "Tonight, we'll see so many hot women, you'll forget about that wannabe nun in no time." He smiled cockily.

"Juvia? Juvia!" Ultear called around the palace. "Juvia, where are you!?" She spotted Lucy who was fast walking through the hallway. "Lucy!" The blonde stopped in her tracks and looked at her. "Please tell Juvia to meet me in her room."

"Oh absolutely!" Lucy ran off, and Ultear sighed. "I don't even know how to begin… How should I start? Juvia, honey? No… Juvia, sweetheart." She walked into her daughters room and sat on the chair. "Juvia, my sweet little daughter… No! How do I start?!"

"You called for Juvia, mother?" Juvia entered with Lucy at her heels.

"J-Juvia! My sweet, innocent, beautiful princess!" That's not how I wanted it to come out at all! Ultear gave an uneasy smile. "I have news for you…" She looked at Lucy. "Please leave, this is family matters."

"Of course." Lucy walked out and rolled her eyes. Wait five seconds, she'll have me running back in.

Ultear and Juvia only stared at each other awkwardly. Juvia scratched her cheek avoiding eye contact with her mother. "L-Lucy! Please come back!" Ultear shouted. Lucy reentered all-too quickly. "Ehem. Lucy… How old is Juvia?"

"She is about to turn 17 madam." Lucy responded smiling widely at Juvia.

"It can't be possible. She can't be that old!" Ultear said in shock.

"Believe it madam. On the next full moon my mademoiselle will be 17 years young! Ah, me!" She went around to Juvia's bedside smiling dreamily. "I remember like it was yesterday when she came crying into this world! Oh it reminded me so much of my Carla…" She muttered a small prayer before speaking audibly again. "Heaven knows she was too good to be in this world. I remember when Juvia came home with her first winning medal as a swimmer when she was only 8 years old! I could never be more proud of her when she was so admired throughout Magnolia! Look at her now, all beautiful and grown!" She rushed back to Juvia, taking both of her hands and kissing them. "I remember when that boy, Bora, he would bring a long love letter to Juvia every day but she never bothered to read it! Oh such wonderful memories!"

"Okay Lucy that's enough, please be quiet." Ultear said rather irritably.

"Yes please Lucy." Juvia choked, Lucy had her in a death hug. "J-Juvia can't breathe!"

She let go of Juvia before happily turning to Ultear. "Forgive me! Oh God bless Juvia, she is the prettiest child I've ever met! My only dream is for her to get married with a good man, and live a good life!" Lucy smiled dreamily once again.

"And that is my very purpose for being here today. Juvia, dear daughter, what is your view on marriage?" Ultear clapped her hands together and smiled.

"Eh?" Juvia blushed slightly looking to the side. "J-Juvia's never thought about getting married. B-But it would be an honor!"

"Damn right it would be!" Lucy proclaimed.

"Start thinking about it, child. Many girls your age are already married and have children to tend to." Ultear turned dark all of sudden. "I was already defiled and harboring you when I was your age." She spat it out like it was venom. Ultear suddenly turned bright again. "The valiant Noble Gray has asked your hand in marriage!"

"Gray Fullbuster?!" Lucy shouted for Juvia. "He is a great man! Beyond wonderful! Oh there couldn't be anyone better than him to ask for Juvia's hand!"

"Agreed. So what do you say dearest? Can you love Gray? Jellal is throwing a party to acquaint you with him. He is a fine fellow, rich and handsome. Look at his features tonight and see how they make him perfect. Look into his eyes and see the love an adoration he has for you. The only thing he needs to complete him is the perfect bride." She cupped her daughter's cheek. "Whoever becomes his bride will be just as admired as he is. It would be a sin to hide your beautiful self from a handsome man like him. There is nothing to lose."

"Nothing to loose at all!" Lucy yipped. "It would only make you bigger!" She carefully spoke aside to Juvia. "And I'm not just talking about the status too, rrr." She smirked seeing Juvia flush a bright red.

"Juvia can learn to love him. Juvia will do everything to make her family name honorable!" Juvia smiled brightly.

"That's wonderful, now, you should go prepare what you're going to wear tonight. Gray will be there waiting for you." With that Ultear left.

Lucy and Juvia happily screamed. "Go child!" Lucy smacked Juvia's behind making her squeak out. "Go look for the man who'll give you joy until the end of time!"
