Author's note: Hey, everyone! Since I've had a couple of ideas about new stories, I decided to make a series of short stories. The first story is with Lucy and Erza. I hope you like it. I do not own Fairy Tail.

FAIRY LILIES

CHAPTER 1

The guild of Fairy Tail was as lively as usual. The mages of the guild were enjoying their morning, chatting with each other loudly, with a drink in their hands, or trying to decide which mission they would take for the day, while other patrons had simply decided to visit the town's favorite guild and have a good time. A certain member of the guild however, was not feeling very lively.

"Why did you guys had to drag me to the guild so early? I wanted to lie down a little more" Lucy said as she leaned on her hands.

"Come on, Lucy, it's a nice day! Besides, I thought you enjoyed being in the guild" Natsu said, as he folded his arms.

"Of course I am! You know I love being in the guild, Natsu. I just wanted to spend some more time in my bed. Before you crashed in my place again, that is" Lucy said with a yawn.

"Lucy, you are such a sleepy head" Happy said, munching a fish.

"Well, we are here now. Do you want me to get you anything from the bar?" Natsu said, as he got up.

"Just some tea will be nice" Lucy said, as Natsu made his way towards the bar. Lucy yawned again, and looked around with a small smile. The fact was that she did enjoy being in the guild, surrounded by her friends. She would visit the guild anyway at her own pace, after she had a calm breakfast and took her morning walk. This wasn't the case though, since Natsu and Happy had decided to wake her up with wide smiles and loud greetings. Not that Lucy wasn't used to that by now. It was pretty common for the energetic duo to get in her apartment like that, and while Lucy found it pretty annoying at some times, especially in private moments like when she was taking a bath, she actually enjoyed these visits more that she let out, or admitted.

"Why are you smiling, Lucy?" Happy asked with wonder, noticing Lucy's expression.

"No reason" Lucy said simply, shaking her head.

"You're so weird some times, Lucy" Happy said, as he went back to his fish.

"You are the one to talk" Lucy said back, as Natsu moved towards their table, holding two cups.

"There you go, Lucy. This should help you wake up" Natsu said, as he left one of the cups in front of Lucy and took his seat.

"Thanks, Natsu" Lucy said with a content smile as she took a ship from the hot beverage.

"Sure, don't mention it, Lucy" Natsu said with a toothy grin, before he took a sip from his own drink.

"Have you seen Erza or Gray, by the way?" Lucy said, as she took another sip from her drink.

"Actually, there they are. And they are coming this way" Natsu said, as Lucy turned towards the direction that he was pointing. She felt her heart skip a beat as her eyes fell on Erza, and hid her heated face behind her cup, as Gray and Erza moved closer.

"Good morning everyone!" Erza greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Erza, Gray" Lucy greeted back, still behind her cup.

"Where have you guys been?" Natsu asked.

"We were taking a look for a mission that we could go all together. I didn't really spot anything interesting, but Erza found something that definitely picked her interest" Gray said, as Erza passed a mission sheet to Lucy.

"I think I've heard of this place before, but I can't really remember right now. It says here that help is requested to run the place. Sounds pretty simple" Lucy said thoughtfully. "Wait a minute, I remember now! That Yajima-san's place! He asks for waiters again!" she suddenly yelled, her eyes opening wide in realization.

"Oh, that sounds like fun! That's the guy who is gramps' friend, right?" Natsu said excitedly.

"Indeed. That's the one" Erza said with a nod.

"I don't know about that. What about you, Gray?" Lucy said with some hesitance.

"I don't really mind. It simple enough, and we can pass our day. And it's not like Hargeon Town is that far away" Gray said with a shrug. Lucy looked back at the mission sheet, with furrowed eyebrows.

"Okay then, since you all agree. Let's do it" she said eventually with a sigh.

"Let's go then! Old man, here we come!" Natsu yelled excited, as he got up.

"Aye! Here we come!" Happy added excited. Lucy simply shook her head with a small smile, as she got up as well, and got out off the guild along with her teammates. On their way to Hargeon Town, Lucy remained silent, as her mind was full of thoughts. And the object of her thoughts just happened to be walking right next to her at that moment, with a content smile on her face, as her long, red hair floated freely in the light morning breeze. Lucy had developed certain feelings about her friend, but was not sure what to tell her about them. At first, she wasn't sure herself, but she eventually figured out what those feelings were. She enjoyed being around Erza, she enjoyed her company, she cared about her deeply, and she soon found herself wanting to spend more and more time around the redhead. But, Erza was one of her best friends. How would she be able to confess her feelings? She had already talked about Mirajane about it, after Mirajane had already figured that Lucy might have feelings for someone close to her, and her advice was to be honest and confess her feelings. A romantic set up, or choosing a good moment might help her increase her chances. Except that Lucy had no idea when that good moment might be. She also had no idea how Erza felt about her, if she saw her as more than a very good friend, so that didn't really help with her doubt. Although, recently, Lucy had noticed Erza throwing some occasional glances at her, and then quickly averting her eyes when Lucy would turn towards her. Did that mean that Erza had some interest too? Or was that just Lucy's imagination?

"Are you okay, Lucy?" Erza suddenly said, snapping Lucy out of her thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine! Why do you ask, Erza?" the blond girl said, trying to sound calm.

"You seem a little quiet, that's all. Is there something on your mind?" Erza asked, giving Lucy an inspecting look.

"No, not really. Why, would you say that?" Lucy responded nervously, as she started looking towards the clouds.

"No reason. I guess I thought wrong" Erza said lightly.

"Well, actually, you thought right. I was thinking about something" Lucy said, as she turned towards Erza, deciding to test the waters.

"May I ask what it was about?" Erza said, with some curiosity.

"Well, I was reading a book the other day. It was about a girl, who eventually, grew feelings for one of her closest friends" Lucy started saying, trying to look for any reactions from Erza's part.

"Feelings? You mean like, romantic feelings?" Erza said, with a slight blush.

"Yeah, romantic feelings. Well, the book tells all their story, about the stuff that they went through, how they spent every day together, how they dealt with their emotions and other things, until the girl finally confessed her feelings to her friend" Lucy continued, still noticing Erza's reaction.

"And then what happened?" Erza asked with picked interest.

"It got a little awkward at first, but then everything went fine. Her friend realized that she had feelings as well, so they got happily together" Lucy said with a smile.

"I see. So, there was a happy ending after all. Sounds like a nice story. But, what were you thinking about, Lucy?" Erza said with some confusion.

"I was wondering. Do you think something like this can actually happen? Two good friends, having feelings for each other and getting together?" Lucy asked, trying to hide her nervousness, and waiting for Erza's answer. Erza remained silent for a moment, and seemed to be pondering on the matter intensely.

"Well, if their feelings are honest and pure, and they really like each other. I don't see why not" she said eventually, with a slight blush.

"You think so?" Lucy said, feeling relieved.

"Of course! Actually, the more I think about it, the better it seems to fit" Erza said with more certainty.

"What about…" Lucy started, but stopped in midway.

"Yes? What are trying to say?" Erza encouraged her to continue.

"What if, the two friends, are both girls?" Lucy stammered, feeling like she was pushing it.

"Both girls? And, have feelings for each other? Was that in your book?" Erza asked with some surprise.

"Maybe. I mean, the girl's friend that she had feelings for, was a girl too" Lucy said nervously.

"Oh. Well, in that case. I don't think that I would change my opinion. I mean, if they have real feelings, and they care for each other. Then, I suppose it could fit" Erza said slowly, with a slight blush.

"Really? Okay, because, that's what I thought too" Lucy said, as she let out a small laugh.

"Sounds like an interesting book. I would like to take a look" Erza said.

"Sure. I'll give it to you if you pass by my place" Lucy said.

"Hey, you guys have fallen behind" Natsu yelled from the front.

"Pick up the pace, will you? What are you talking about anyway?" Gray said curiously.

"Nothing! About books and stuff" Lucy responded hastily, as Erza and she moved faster and caught up with them.

"Here we are!" Erza said as the Fairy Tail mages reached the restaurant.

"Hey, old man!" Natsu greeted lightly, as they went inside and noticed the old mage standing near the counter.

"Oh, it's you kids. You have come to help again? How nice of you" Yajima said kindly.

"Of course. You are a friend of Master, after all" Erza said.

"Not to mention that you were in Fairy Tail too" Lucy added.

"That was a long time ago. Such good memories! And the future of the guild looks bright, with talented youngsters like you" Yajima said with a kind smile.

"You are too nice, sir" Erza said, as she took a small bow.

"We'll try our best for the guild" Gray said with a grin.

"I know you will. Enough chit-chat now, your uniforms are waiting. The first customers should be arriving shortly" Yajima said, as he clapped his hands. The Fairy Tail mages got inside the kitchen and put on their uniforms. The waiter uniform was pretty simple, consisting of a white shirt, a black vest and matching black trousers, and a red bow tie. The waitress uniform however, was a little different. It consisted of an orange, strapless top, orange sleeves, a matching, short orange skirt, a white apron, white stockings, and a white maid headpiece.

"How did I get into this mess again? What's with that outfit?" Lucy complained as she put on her uniform.

"I like it" Erza said simply, as she looked herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile.

"I like my outfit too. It makes me look formal" Happy said, admiring his own, mini waiter outfit.

"Don't complain, Lucy. Think about the payment" Natsu said.

"Besides, it's not the first time that you wear this kind of outfit" Gray commented.

"I don't want to hear that from you! What happened to your shirt? You look like a stripper!" Lucy yelled pointing towards Gray, who had seemingly lost his shirt and vest, and was simply wearing his bow tie.

"How did that happen? I just put it on!" Gray said frantically, as he quickly put on his shirt.

"Hmpf! I, for one, am not thrilled about this outfit" Lucy scoffed, stubbornly.

"I think I know what this is about" Gray said, with a mischievous grin.

"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked, with an annoyed look.

"You can't handle the competition" Gray said simply.

"What? What do you mean?" Lucy said, wondering where Gray was getting at.

"It's pretty simple. Last time, Erza did much better than you. She took much more orders. You simply can't handle the completion because, Erza is much better" Gray said with a wave of his hands.

"That's true. Erza did much better last time" Natsu nodded in agreement, as he put his arms behind his head.

"Aye! She was like a true professional" Happy added, nodding as well.

"You guys are overreacting. I simply did my job right" Erza said, with a cool expression.

"What are you guys talking about? Erza did better than me last time because I didn't try! I could do much better, if I wanted to!" Lucy said frantically.

"Yeah, right!" Gray snorted.

"Don't worry, Lucy, you have other talents. It's just that, Erza has more charms and is more feminine" Happy said with a teasing voice.

"Say what?! How dare you are putting down my charms! That's it! Erza, I challenge you!" Lucy said suddenly, pointing her finger towards her.

"Eeeh?!" Natsu, Gray and Happy said shocked.

"You challenge me? What do you mean?" Erza said, with a mildly curious expression.

"I mean that the one who gets the most orders by the end of the shift wins!" Lucy announced, decisively.

"Sounds interesting, but what exactly does she win?" Erza said, with interest.

"Hey Lucy, don't you think you are overreacting a little bit? I was just joking!" Gray said nervously.

"Not at all! The winner gets" Lucy started saying, trying to think about a prize. "I don't know! She gets the right to brag" she said eventually.

"Sounds a little, anticlimactic, don't you think? How about a bet?" Erza suggested.

"What kind of bet?" Lucy asked.

"How about this? The winner gets to tell the loser what to do for the rest of the day. What do you say? Are you up for the challenge?" Erza said with a mischievous grin, as she lifted her hand. Lucy felt herself tremble nervously, thinking that perhaps challenging Erza wasn't such a good idea. Maybe she got carried away. Besides, Happy was teasing her all the time. Should she back down? No, she couldn't back down. She talked big, and now it was time to back it up. Even if it was against Erza. Slowly, Lucy walked towards Erza and raised he hand, shaking it with Erza's.

"Okay, we have a deal. And may the best waitress wins!" she said, trying to sound confident.

"Indeed. I applaud you for your bravery, Lucy. You know that you are a very dear friend of mine. But I won't hold back! I hope you are prepared, because I'm going all out!" Erza said decisively, as she turned around and moved quickly towards the first table.

"Hey, I wasn't ready yet! Wait up!" Lucy yelled, as she followed after her.

"This will be messy. What have I done?" Gray said as he sweatdropped.

"Good job. Now all we have to do is go out there and see how that works out" Natsu said calmly.

"Aye" Happy said with a deadpan expression, as they went out of the kitchen as well. Yajima watched them with an amused smile.

"The competitive and explosive nature of the youngsters. And even more if you are in Fairy Tail. This should be interesting. I just hope they don't go overboard again" he thought. Within the first hour, Erza already had a big lead against Lucy, who struggled to keep up.

"How is she doing it?" Lucy thought, frustrated, as she saw Erza moving towards yet another table.

"What would you like me to bring you, dear customer?" she purred, as she sat on the table with a seductive pose, and leaned slightly towards the customers.

"Whatever you want! Bring us everything!" the customers said excitedly.

"What?! Are you kidding me?" Lucy thought, exasperated, as Erza got back on her feet with a satisfied smile, and moved towards the other table, swaying her hips. Lucy felt herself lost in her movement for a moment, before she shook her head quickly. She had to pull it together, she couldn't afford to stare at Erza any longer.

"Hey, if you continue to stay around, there's no chance you will win. You need to move faster" Gray whispered, as he stood next to her.

"I know that! I am just trying to think of a plan" Lucy mumbled, frustrated.

"Well, think about it on the move. Unless you want to obey Erza's requests for the rest of the day" Gray urged her.

"I know, I know!" Lucy said as she took a deep breath and moved towards a new table.

"Hello sir! May I take your order?" she said as she took a cute pose.

"Thanks, but I think I'll wait for the other girl" the customer said, causing Lucy to whine. The two girls continued going from table to table, as the swift was slowly moving towards its end, with Lucy somehow managing to close the gap, but with Erza still ahead.

"I need to think of something quickly. I am running out of time. If only I had more time, or there were more of me" Lucy thought, and her face suddenly lit, as a fantastic idea came to her. "That's it!" she yelled, as she pulled one of her golden keys. "I open the Gate of the Twins, Gemini!" she yelled as a bright light shone and two small blue creatures appeared.

"Hey, Lucy, what are you doing?" Gray said.

"We are here, Lucy! What do you want?" Gemini said, with mirrored moves.

"I think you know what I have in mind" Lucy said.

"We sure do" Gemini said as they transformed into Lucy, with the exact same outfit.

"Two Lucys!" Happy exclaimed, as the customers looked at them with wide eyes.

"What do you think you are doing, Lucy?" Erza said.

"Making the odds even! Let's go, Gemini, we have work to do" Lucy said, pumped up.

"Yes, Lucy. Let's do this!" Gemini said excited as well, as both mage and spirit moved towards different tables.

"So that's how you want to play it, Lucy? Nice try, but it won't be enough!" Erza said decisively, as she moved to another table.

"Lucy sure takes this seriously" Natsu commented.

"Yeah, and so does Erza. You got to give it to both of them" Gray said.

"Aye! Do your best, both of you!" Happy cheered them on.

"Why are you so excited?" Natsu mumbled.

"We are finally done!" Lucy said, as she fell back on the chair exhaustively.

"We'll be off then, Lucy" Gemini said.

"Yeah. Thanks a lot, Gemini" Lucy said with a grateful smile, as the spirit disappeared in a golden light.

"You did well, Lucy" Erza said, as she sat next to her.

"Thanks, Erza! So, did you" Lucy said tiredly.

"No matter who wins, that was fun! Let's do it again" Erza suggested, with some excitement.

"I don't think I could last another round" Lucy said with a deadpan expression.

"Okay now. First, I would like to thank all of you, for your help. This has been a great day, thanks to your efforts. And now, let's see the results. I have counted the sum of you orders, not how many tables you took" Yajima said, as he opened a piece of paper that he was holding. Lucy gulped hard, and saw that Erza looked anxious as well.

"I guess I did pretty good, if even Erza seems anxious. Let's see then" Lucy thought.

"The winner is" Yajima said, as he made a dramatic pause "Lucy! She won by two jewels difference. Well done, my girl!" he said eventually, smiling warmly towards Lucy, who remained speechless.

"What?! Lucy won?" Natsu said, shocked.

"Erza lost?!" Gray said, shocked as well.

"How many orders did I take?" Happy asked.

"I won" Lucy said slowly, unable to comprehend it. "I don't believe it! I won! Yahoo!" she yelled excited, as she leaped from her seat, and jumped in the air. Erza remained silent, until she shook her head with a small smile.

"Huh, what do you know. Congratulations, Lucy! You won!" she said graciously, as she got up, and lifted her hand towards Lucy.

"Thanks, Erza! Although it was a very small difference. And, I don't think I would have won, if I hadn't used Gemini" Lucy said with some embarrassment, as she shook Erza's hand.

"Probably. But it seems like you wanted it more, and you used your wits about it. That was always one of your strong points" Erza responded, with a warm smile.

"Thank you, Erza! Anyway, I won. And that means" Lucy's smile turned a thin line "that you will do what I want for the rest of the day" she said mischievously, causing Erza to slightly tremble.

"What exactly do you have in mind?" she said, with some nervousness.

"Oh, you'll see" Lucy said, with a sweet voice.

"I want you to wear this!" Lucy said with a wide smile, holding a bunny outfit. It was almost evening, and the two girls were back in Lucy's apartment. Lucy had been thinking about it all the way back, and came up with something that she wanted to do for a while.

"You want me to wear this? No problem" Erza said with a cool smile, as she held the bunny outfit.

"Don't get too comfortable! I have more for you to try on! Now put it on" Lucy said with a commanding voice.

"As you wish! I didn't expect you to be so bossy, though" Erza commented with a small smile, as she took of her shirt.

"I can be full of surprises" Lucy said with a smug expression, which quickly turned into a crimson shade, as Erza stripped in front of her, and put on the bunny outfit with slow moves.

"How do I look?" Erza said with a suggestive voice, as she lied on the floor, taking a sexy pose.

"Very, nice" Lucy stammered, as the tight, black outfit, hugged Erza's body perfectly, showing off all her assets. Lucy felt the urge to pounce at Erza at that very moment. "No, not yet" the blond girl thought as she went back to a large chest, where she kept several outfits. "Okay, bunny girl! I want you to try this one next" she said holding a white outfit, that turned out to be a cat outfit.

"Nyah! I am fierce cat!" Erza growled, as she took a cat like pose, lifting her gloved hands.

"You sure are! What a good kitten" Lucy said softly, as she pet Erza and rubbed her chin, causing Erza to purr in delight. Both of them looked each other with surprise, before they started laughing.

"This is fun!" Erza said, as Lucy went back to the chest for another outfit.

"Hey Erza, I wonder. What would you have me do, if you won?" Lucy said, trying to decide the next outfit.

"I would ask you to treat me to all the cake I could eat" Erza said naturally, folding her arms.

"I don't think I could actually afford that. Here, put on this one next" Lucy said as she gave Erza another outfit, which turned out to be a schoolgirl outfit.

"You sure have a lot of outfits, Lucy. Where did you get all these?" Erza said, as she took a cute pose.
"Oh, you know. From random places" Lucy said, unable to take her eyes out of Erza's exposed belly and long legs, as the outfit offered quite a generous view of them.

"You have any more?" Erza asked.

"Yes, I still have a couple. But I want you to try one more. This one" Lucy said as she held one more outfit.

"Okay then" Erza said as she changed into the last outfit, which turned out to be a maid outfit. Lucy liked this outfit the most, and couldn't get enough of how beautiful Erza looked in this. Of course, Erza would look beautiful in just about anything. Lucy thought that now would be a good time to talk to Erza. Perhaps she could somehow use the situation to her advantage.

"You look great, Erza!" Lucy said.

"Thanks, Lucy. That was fun. Now, what shall we do?" Erza asked, with wonder.

"I'll tell you what" Lucy said slowly, as she went over to her bed and sat down. "I want you to call me master" she said suddenly.

"What?" Erza gasped in surprise.

"You heard me. The bet is still on. You must do what I tell you. I want you to call me master" Lucy said, feeling an odd satisfaction building inside her.

"Lucy, this is embarrassing!" Erza complained, as she lowered her eyes.

"Why? Nobody's here, just you and me. Now do it!" Lucy said with a commanding voice.

"Yes, master" Erza mumbled shyly, feeling her face heat up.

"Good! Now, I want you to come over here, and sit on my lap" Lucy said, with a mischievous grin. Erza looked up shocked, her blush becoming even deeper, but sighed and shook her head.

"As you wish, master" she said slowly, as she walked towards Lucy, and sat on her lap. Lucy felt her own face heat up. "Now what?" Erza whispered as she looked at her directly.

"I'll tell you what. I need you to listen to me, carefully. What I am about to say, is something that I wanted to say for a while. It's not a game" Lucy said seriously, as she put her arms around Erza's waist and pulled her closer, causing Erza to yelp as she was know entirely in Lucy's arms.

"Go on then. Tell me" Erza encouraged her, looking deep into Lucy's eyes, as Lucy finally understood.

"I think you know what I want to say. So instead, I'll show you" Lucy said as she leaned forward, and captured Erza's lips in a deep kiss. Erza seemed to stiffen for a moment, but returned the kiss with passion, putting her arms around Lucy's neck. The two girls lost themselves in the bliss of the kiss, until the need for air caused them to break apart.

"I like you, Erza! I don't know when, probably from the first time I saw you, but I've fallen really hard for you" Lucy said with a deep voice.

"I know. I think, I've known for a while now, Lucy. And I realized, that I feel the same. I like you too, Lucy!" Erza said with a warm smile, causing Lucy to smile as well.

"Let's not say anything more then" Lucy said, as she gave Erza another heated kiss, with Erza responding gladly. The two girls spent the rest of the night together, enjoying each other's warm embrace, as they drifted into a pleasant, deep sleep.
