Fairy Tail (FAIRY TAIL)

- Narrator: IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY,

LIES THE KINGDOM OF FIORE.

A SMALL, PEACEFUL NATION OF SEVENTEEN MILLION,

AND A PLACE FILLED WITH MAGIC.

FOUND IN EVERY HOME, BOUGHT AND SOLD IN EVERY MARKETPLACE,

FOR MOST, MAGIC IS MERELY A TOOL.

FOR SOME, HOWEVER, MAGIC IS AN ART

AND THEY'VE DEVOTED THEIR LIVES TO ITS PRACTICE.

THESE WIZARDS BAND TOGETHER TO FORM MAGICAL GUILDS

WHICH DOT THE LANDSCAPE OF FIORE,

BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN GUILD IN A CERTAIN TOWN

THAT SOARS HIGH ABOVE THE REST.

ONE FROM WHICH COUNTLESS LEGENDS HAVE BEEN BORN.

ITS NAME IS FAIRY TAIL.

( theme song playing )

( singing in Japanese )

- Narrator: IT'S CHERRY BLOSSOM SEASON HERE IN MAGNOLIA.

AND WITH IT, COMES A SPECIAL EVENT FOR THE FAIRY TAIL GUILD.

- Makarov: HEED MY WORDS, DEAR FRIENDS!

IF YOU FANCY YOURSELF A MEMBER OF THIS GUILD,

YOU MUST HONE YOUR SKILLS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT.

DO SO AND FORTUNE WILL ALWAYS BE YOURS.

NEVER FORGET YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN KEEP.

WHILE MANY OF YOUR DAYS WILL BE SUNNY,

OTHERS WILL BE CLOUDED IN HARDSHIP.

PEACE AND PROSPERITY, TEMPERED BY TRAGEDY AND HEARTBREAK.

HOWEVER, I HAVE FAITH WE CAN FIGHT THROUGH

EVEN THE DARKEST OF DAYS AS LONG AS WE HAVE EACH OTHER.

YOU ARE SURROUNDED, NOT BY CO-WORKERS,

BUT BY AN ENDURING AND LOVING FAMILY!

TOGETHER WE ARE ONE!

THAT'S WHAT BEING A FAIRY TAIL WIZARD IS ABOUT!

( crowd cheering )

- I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF WHAT YOU KIDS

HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST YEAR.

SO TO COMMEMORATE YOUR HARD WORK AND DILIGENCE,

TOMORROW WE WILL BE HOLDING,

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FLOWER VIEWING PARTY!

( crowd cheering )

- Makarov: THAT MAKES TODAY THE PRE-CELEBRATION! SO DRINK!

BUNCH OF MORONS.

- Happy: RAINBOW CHERRY BLOSSOMS.

TAKE IT EASY.

SAVE THE DRINKING FOR THE CELEBRATION TOMORROW.

YEAH, NO JOKE.

I'LL NEVER GET THIS WHOLE "FLOWER PARTY" THING.

YOU GUYS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO BOOZE IT UP.

- WHOA, THE POT'S CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.

- NO KIDDING, SHE DRINKS AS IF EVERY DAY'S A CELEBRATION.

- FLOWER PARTIES ARE FREAKING MANLY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU GONNA TAKE HOME THE GRAND PRIZE FROM THE BINGO GAME, DAD?

YOU BET. THIS IS MY YEAR.

SO YOU BETTER BE THERE TO ROOT FOR YOUR POP.

- I DIDN'T GET A SINGLE NUMBER DURING LAST YEAR'S BINGO GAME.

BUT THAT JUST MEANS I'LL GET ALL OF THE NUMBERS THIS YEAR, BABY.

- IT DOESN'T REALLY WORK THAT WAY.

- LET HER HAVE HER MOMENT, MAN.

- YOU PEOPLE MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT SOME SISSY FLOWERS?

THEY GOT HIDDEN POWERS OR SOMETHING?

- Nab: IT'S A BIG DEAL AROUND HERE.

I MEAN, EVEN OUR CLIENTS KNOW THE SCORE.

Gajeel: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- Nab: THE BOARD GETS PRETTY BARREN THIS TIME OF YEAR

BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS NONE OF US WANT TO WORK

DURING THE CELEBRATION.

Gajeel: RIDICULOUS.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, DO YOU EVER WORK?

( siren wails)

YOU'RE BLUER THAN NORMAL.

IT'S MY DEAR GRAY!

HE MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE PARTY AND LEFT ON A JOB.

IF MY BELOVED ISN'T HERE, THEN I WON'T HAVE ANYONE

TO CUDDLE AND LOOK AT THE FLOWERS WITH.

- I'M SORRY, BUT YOU KNOW THAT A WIZARD

HAS TO EARN HIS DAILY KEEP SOMEHOW.

- THAT'S FUNNY COMING FROM YOU! - LAY OFF!

HE'S GONE. WHY?

I COULD HAVE HELPED HIM OUT!

IT WOULD'VE BEEN OVERKILL.

HE'S ALREADY TEAMED UP WITH NATSU,

AND THEY DON'T NEED ANOTHER PERSON!

- HANG ON. IF THAT'S THE CASE,

WHY DID WENDY AND CARLA GET TO TAG ALONG WITH THEM?

- BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH NEW TO THE GUILD FROM CAIT SHELTER.

THEY NEED TO GET THEIR FEET WET SOONER OR LATER, DON'T THEY?

YES, I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT.

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT,

THAT HE ABANDONED ME!

- OPEN, GATE OF THE CLOCK CONSTELLATION.

HOROLOGIUM!

- Narrator: THE FRIGID PEAKS OF MT. HAKOBE.

- Horologium: "I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE,

"YOU'D THINK I'D KNOW TO WEAR SOMETHING WARMER.

"I'M FREEZING MY RUMP OFF!"

SHE EXCLAIMS WITH GREAT DISCOMFORT.

I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!

- YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO THE ELEMENTS

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO WORK LIKE THIS.

"GET IN HERE WITH ME, WENDY.

"YOU DON'T WANNA CATCH A COLD."

SHE CHATTERS WITH NURTURING CONCERN.

MMM. OKAY, THEN!

AS LONG AS YOU'RE SURE IT WON'T BE ANY TROUBLE.

COMING, CARLA?

NO THANK YOU, I'LL BE FINE.

YOU SHOULD BE TRYING TO OVERCOME THESE CONDITIONS AS WELL.

FOCUS YOUR MIND AND ADAPT TO DISCOMFORT.

- OUR SEARCH SHOULD BE EASIER NOW THAT THE STORM HAS CALMED.

- I'M STARVING. I COULD EAT AN ENTIRE VOLCANO.

IT'S SO WARM IN HERE.

- YEAH? THEN WHY AM I GETTING FROSTBITE?

- WHOA! IT'S SO COLD THAT EVEN I'M STARTING TO GET CHILLY.

- HAVE YOU CONSIDERED PUTTING ON A SHIRT?

( grunts )

- HEY, NATSU. I'M NOT CONVINCED

THAT THIS HERB WE'RE LOOKING FOR EVEN EXISTS.

- IT'S GOTTA. WHY WOULD SOMEONE

POST A JOB TO FIND IT IF IT DIDN'T EXIST?

IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

A WIZARD CAN BOOST THEIR MAGIC POWER

JUST BY PUTTING THIS STUFF IN TEA OR CAKE?

I BET IT'S GOT SOME WICKED SIDE EFFECTS.

LIKE YOU GROW A SECOND HEAD OR IT GIVES YOU SERIOUS GAS.

IT'S LIKE THEY SAY, "THERE'S ALWAYS POISON

TO EVERY GOOD FISH!"

- I THINK YOU MIGHT MEAN, "THERE'S NO SUCH THING

AS A FREE LUNCH."

- I'VE BEEN SAYING IT WRONG ALL THIS TIME?

- Erza: "SIDE-EFFECTS" ARE NOT OUR CONCERN.

THE JOB FLIER SAID TO COLLECT AND DELIVER,

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO.

BUT IF WE FIND AN EXCESS, THERE'S NO REASON WE CAN'T

TAKE SOME TO USE FOR BINGO PRIZES TOMORROW. SOUND GOOD?

- YEAH. HEY, HERBS, COME OUT AND FIGHT ME!

HEY NATSU. SHUT UP.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

- HOW'S A PLANT SUPPOSED TO ANSWER YOU,

LET ALONE COME DOWN HERE AND DUKE IT OUT?

THEN AGAIN, IF IT COULD,

I BET IT'D WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOUR FACE.

- WATCH IT, FROSTY. IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY,

WHY DON'T YOU SAY IT TO MY FACE?

- NEXT TIME YOU GET THE BRIGHT IDEA TO TALK TO A PLANT,

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

WOULD YOU SHUT UP?

Both: AYE!

- MAN, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS JOB DONE SO WE CAN GO BACK HOME.

- THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO BEFORE TOMORROW'S PARTY.

- YEAH, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

- Lucy: JUST WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE MAGNOLIA'S CHERRY BLOSSOMS!

NOT ONLY ARE THEY GORGEOUS IN THE DAYLIGHT,

BUT THEY'RE RAINBOW-COLORED AT NIGHT.

IT'S LIKE A DREAM. TOMORROW'S GONNA ROCK.

RAINBOW BLOSSOMS? WOW.

JUST THE THOUGHT OF IT IS SUPER PRETTY.

NO JOKE, SISTER.

- Horologium: THEY PRATTLE, ON AND ON.

- Lucy: YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT, WENDY.

EVERYBODY BRINGS A BOXED LUNCH WITH THEM

AND WE SPEND THE DAY BENEATH THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS.

WE'LL PLAY GAMES AND PARTY, SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS.

CAN YOU IMAGINE A MORE PERFECT DAY?

IT'S GONNA BE EPIC.

THAT'S WHY I WANNA WRAP THIS UP AND GET BACK TO MAGNOLIA.

I'VE GOT MAJOR PREP TO DO. FIRST, I NEED TO BAKE COOKIES,

THEN I'LL DECIDE WHETHER I WANNA WEAR ONE OUTFIT

OR CHANGE IT UP AT NIGHT. THEN I'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO

WITH MY HAIR. THEN, I'LL PROBABLY GO TO BED

WITHOUT WORKING ON MY NOVEL.

OH WELL, PROCRASTINATION IS NOTHING NEW FOR ME AND THEN...

- WAIT - HMM?

- I TAKE IT YOU WENT TO THE FLOWER VIEWING PARTY LAST YEAR?

HUH? WELL, ACTUALLY...

- THAT'S WEIRD. IS ANYONE ALLOWED TO GO?

BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU'VE BEEN WITH FAIRY TAIL

FOR LESS THAN A YEAR.

- OKAY. TRUTH IS, THIS'LL BE MY FIRST TIME, TOO.

REALLY?

- Lucy: I GUESS I'VE JUST HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT IT

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN BEFORE, YOU KNOW?

- YEAH AND WE'LL GET TO EXPERIENCE IT TOGETHER.

IF IT'S HALF AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS,

IT SHOULD BE A TON OF FUN.

ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'LL BE CELEBRATING

WITH ALL OF OUR FRIENDS IN FAIRY TAIL.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

LET'S HURRY AND GET OUT OF THIS FROZEN WASTELAND.

- ( alarm ringing ) - ON THAT NOTE, I BID YOU FOND FAREWELL.

( both exclaiming )

GET A GRIP.

- WE'LL GET HOME FASTER IF YOU HELP FIND THE HERBS.

Lucy: GIVE ME A BREAK.

( sniffing )

I FOUND YOU.

I KNEW YOU COULDN'T HIDE FOREVER, YOU STUPID PLANT.

- BEHOLD THE POWER OF A DRAGON SLAYER'S SCHNOZ.

- WAIT, HOW CAN YOU BE SURE YOU'VE FOUND THE RIGHT HERBS,

HAVE YOU SMELLED THEM BEFORE?
