A/N: All right! Here is the first one shot in the Wild Girls of Magnolia collection! It mostly focuses on Cana's and Lucy's friendship, with some other friends and side pairings popping up every now and then.
Pairing: Lucy/Cana best friendship
Prompt: the ending of the Buzzfeed Violet video Things Girls Do When They're Alone. (Go watch it, it's hilarious!)
When you're roommates with someone for four years running, and going on fifteen years of friendship, you see every side of them.
The good, the bad, the ugly sobbing.
The family drama, the boy drama, the 'let's plan a super awesome prank that will guarantee Gildarts' knickers will get in a twist', the 'oh, someone kill me now before this hangover does even though it's my fifteenth this week'...
Wait, that last one may only apply if you're Cana Alberona Clive's roommate.
Which she was.
That's right, Lucy's roommate was the quote unquote "drunkess" of Vermillion University. The two had been friends for so long, Cana's drinking had finally ceased to bother Lucy.
Lucy and Cana had been best friends since 3rd grade when Cana had kicked Hibiki Lates between the legs for trying to kiss Lucy. Lucy followed Cana everywhere for three years with a serious case of hero worship for the slightly older girl. Despite Cana's dad being a cop and Lucy's father being an important businessman, the two managed to get up to all sorts of high jinks between elementary school and college.
High school had been interesting to say the least, between pining over upperclassmen, running a relationship betting pool, and being labeled as their graduating class's troublemakers. Lucy had punched Bacchus in the face for breaking Cana's heart in 10th grade (which made her even more famous in Fiore High). Cana protected her 'little sister' from the over enthusiastic advances of Loke and Hibiki, who still hadn't learned his lesson.
So they grew up, got a little wiser (relatively speaking), and went off to college, firm in their friendship.
By way of some serious string pulling, Lucy was able to get the two of them in the same dorm room for all four years of college. She cited the fact she had been dealing with a drunk and/or hungover Cana for over ten years; she was clearly the best person for the job. Cana showed her appreciation by cutting back on the sheer insanity of some of the pranks she pulled.
Still, the Wild Girls of Magnolia threw themselves wholeheartedly into the rather odd culture of Vermillion U. They quickly became notorious on campus for knowing all the gossip plus running the various betting pools. Even Mirajane went to them when she wanted to know how her ships were interacting. Their antics became legendary, seeing as the first week of school, Lucy had to talk Cana down from the English building roof after Lucy had child-locked the booze.
Cana never let Roy Mustang, 3rd year Chem major, forget that you don't break the heart of her best friend. And you especially don't use said best friend as a rebound girl to get over your blonde ex. He transferred schools a week later. Yes, the Magnolia girls are just that scary!
Then there was the time an inebriated Cana had persuaded Lucy to join her dancing the the rain, both girls wearing nothing but their lacy underwear and high heels.
Though Lucy still hadn't forgiven her for the Celery Incident. She didn't think Cana would ever be forgiven for that escapade…
Come to think of it, most of their misadventures occurred when alcohol got involved… But honestly, things that Cana did had long since ceased to faze Lucy. If anything, it helped her deal better with some of Natsu's more exasperating antics.
Lucy was justified in thinking she had seen just about everything.
Walking out of her room to find Cana lazing on the couch wearing nothing but her birthday suit was a new one.
Lucy dropped her popcorn and gaped. Cana could not possibly be more nonchalant. She was lounging with her feet propped up on the coffee table, a remote in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. Some vapid soap opera was playing on the TV but Cana didn't seem to be paying attention to that.
She was also as naked as a jaybird.
"What are you doing?" Lucy demanded, eyebrows skyrocketing.
Cana turned to give her friend a Cheshire cat grin. "Living my best life," she said simply. Lucy blinked a few times, then shrugged. This was not the weirdest thing Cana had ever done with Lucy around believe it or not. "Whatever." She leaned against the back of the couch, staring at the TV.
"Hey, wanna watch some stupid romcom anime?" Cana asked, absently grabbing the bag of popcorn Lucy had picked back up.
"Why not?" Lucy backed up and leapt over the couch, landing on the cushion next to her birthday suited friend. Cana raised her hand for a high five and Lucy obliged. "Ten points for that one." She glanced at Cana's bare skin. "Aren't you cold?"
"Why do you think I'm wearing socks, Brown Eyes?" Cana lifted a foot and wiggled her toes.
Lucy shrugged and snatched her popcorn back. "Fair point. At least you aren't naked on the roof again."
"That was one time, Brown Eyes." Cana rolled her own eyes. "One time."
"You still did it. And…"
"Don't you dare bring up the Celery Incident. I said sorry a thousand times, okay?"
Lucy threw her hands up, somehow not dumping her popcorn everywhere. "Fine, fine! Just be grateful Gildarts never heard the whole story." Cana shot Lucy a terrified glance as if to say, 'oh, Mavis, don't even suggest such a thing'. "Now, we were watching a stupid romcom anime or not?"
A/N: Mehh, not the best ending. But I love Cana and Lucy's friendship and seriously think the two could get up to some wild stuff if they put their minds to it. XD
