The guild hall was its usual happy, violent self. Natsu and Gajeel were fighting over something stupid, although Lucy and Levy tried their best to stop them from fighting but Natsu seemed to block out Lucy's yelling and Levy was far too small to restrain Gajeel, their fight only stopped when the master crushed them under his fists.
Grey sat with Kathrine, Zella, Alli and the Thunder god tribe, which was very unusual for him as he had never once sat with the Thunder God Tribe out of all the years he had been in Fairy Tail. Grey observed them all talking not really knowing what to say as he only sat here for the sake of Kathrine, also it was highly amusing watching them all bicker and tease.
After observing them for a few minutes he began to feel a great deal of sympathy for poor Freed who seemed to be teased by everyone on the table about how uncomfortable he got around half naked people. It really didn't help that Alli was trying to strip, claiming that her clothes were to annoying and Grey sat there in his underwear, unsure of where his clothes were.
Alli turned Zella and said "My favourite shipping is Tendershipping"
Grey was sure they weren't talking about ships that sail the sea otherwise that wouldn't make sense, so that just left the question; what's shipping? "Same it is just too perfect!" Zella agreed, she was about to continue when I asked "What's Shipping?"
The table went silent after his question and everyone turned to him, Laxus, Freed, Bickslow and Evergreen each showed looks of great sympathy as they mouthed no to him whilst he asked the question. Kathrine looked the same but with a hint of regret for not telling him this before he hung out with Zella and Alli.
Both Zella and Alli looked like he had grown an extra head as their eyes widened they then turned to each other in sync and said "Its time" This terrified Grey more than anything in his whole life, even that dragon didn't scare him as much as the two girls in front of him.
Both the girls jumped up from their chairs and stood at the front of the table so everyone could see, somehow they both had gained glasses in the process to make themselves look smarter, Zella had also gained a stick which teachers used to point at white boards and a large book of paper.
Alli opened it to the first page and read out the writing "A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well"
Before they could continue Kathrine spoke "Why in the name of Jesus do you have all this?!"
Zella replied as if it was the world simplest thing "Loads of people have asked the same question! We must educate people with the awesomeness of shipping! Don't take this away from us"
Kathrine rolled her eyes and let them continue their rant. Alli then turned to the next page and Zella pointed to the title 'OTP'
"OTP's! This mean one true pairing, so this could be anything! Mine and Alii's OTP is.." Zella said turning over to a new page.
"Freed and Laxus!" At this announcement freed fell off his chair in shock, his face was bright red and Laxus was choking on his drink, he just had to pick that minute to drink, he thought while coughing.
Evergreen was laughing along with Bickslow and his babies, Kathrine tried to hide her laughter but she gave in and Grey just smirked at the reactions of the Freed and Laxus.
Freed pulled himself up by the table, his face still the colour of a tomato and choked out "What?" This only made the laughter continue twice as loud, it grew even further when Laxus recovered and said 'Me and Freed, you ship your boyfriends!"
Alli and Zella just smirked and said "Of course you two are so gay for each other!"
Well that was…interesting Grey thought as Laxus and Freed defended themselves, the argument ended when Alli said "Just relieve your sexual tension! Me, Kathrine, Zella and Bickslow are going shopping!" and with that they left leaving very confused and embarrassed friends behind them.
