"Come on Levy, it'll be fun, just me, you, the gang and a few of Jellals friends, for a week in a beautiful cabin near a lake, all alone, it's the perfect vacation!" Lucy tried to coax and the little bluenette sighed, she had finals in two weeks, she really couldn't take a week off but her best friend plus roommate was relentless. Levy really wanted to go on vacation but she didn't want to risk a week of studying time to go and listen to her friends fornicating in a cabin.

"Lucy I can't I have to study, you know how important this is for me, I can't blow it off!" Levy exclaimed, hoping Lucy would leave her alone and she looked at her best friend out of the corner of her eye, she was pouting with her hands clasped together. Her chocolate eyes were wide and sad as she tried to guilt trip Levy.

Lucy was the typical blonde beauty, she had long, blonde hair and an hour glass figure that could enchant most men, her eyes were deep brown and she was average height. Levy however was short, standing at less than five feet tall and she had a petite build, her chest was smaller than most of the other girls she knew who were very well endowed in that area. She was slim, well-toned with curved hips and a small waist, her back arched making her butt stand out and it caught a lot of male attention. Her hair was blue like the sky of a mid-summer morning and her eyes were a beautiful hazel, shimmering gold in the light and she had a doll like face with large eyes and a button nose with small, plump lips.

"You can study there as well, please Levy, did I mention Gajeel will be there?!" Lucy begged and Levy rolled her eyes, Lucy was determined to get her best friend in a relationship with her boyfriend's cousin. Not that Levy minded, from what she could remember he was quite handsome though she hadn't seen him for a while but she didn't think he would have changed much.

"You've only mentioned it a thousand times and this is you Lucy, you'll distract me completely, my answer is no" Levy huffed as she tried to concentrate on the text in front of her but her roommate made it quite impossible. The determined blonde grabbed the book, holding it away from Levy who made a noise of protest and frowned in annoyance.

"I promise I will let you have at least three days of un-disturbed studying, no noise, no teasing, no constant bugging, I will leave you alone for three days to study if you come and for four days you can sit and relax, please!" Lucy offered and Levy let out a defeated sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She knew she wasn't going to be allowed to refuse and she looked up at the hopeful blonde who had wide, pleading eyes and she grumbled.

"Fine, I'll come, but you have to pinkie promise that for three days you'll leave me alone!" Levy said sternly and held out her little finger, knowing Lucy took pinkie promises very seriously. Lucy grinned widely and wrapped her own little finger around Levys, locking their fingers together and she nodded.

"Yes I promise I will leave you alone, you should get packing though, we're leaving tomorrow morning!" Lucy squeaked with happiness and Levy smiled as she shook her head, she stared at her notes for a long moment before closing her book and putting her study books on top of each other. For her finals she had seven study books, three for her ancient history, two for her ancient languages, one for her literature and one for her geography. She wanted to be an archaeologist when she graduated so she had a lot of tests and studies and she barely had time for herself because of her busy schedule so maybe a vacation would help her recharge. Lucy handed her the other text book and she piled it on the others as she took off her red rimmed glasses and stretched.

"You better love me after this" Levy said as she turned towards her bed and pulled out her suitcase from under it, it was a large, bright orange one with several compartments for toiletries and make up, not that she needed it. She walked over to her closet, grabbing clothing at random, she really wasn't bothered about matching clothing but she wanted matching underwear just in case anything happened, though she wasn't anticipating it. Her favourite, orange sundress was pulled out and thrown on the bed and she heard Lucy sigh as she seemed to rifle through Levys clothing choice.

"Okay, you are so not wearing this... what are you, twelve?!" Lucy asked and Levy turned to see what she was talking about and she saw her light green, unicorn T-shirt and she pouted. Okay, she'd had that since she was thirteen and though it was a little short on the stomach, it fit her perfectly and she loved it.

"That's my favourite pyjama top; I'm not going to be wearing it to impress someone!" Levy argued and Lucy sighed as she threw it in the suitcase and went through her clothes, throwing several items on the floor like her brown, long skirt and green bathing suit. "What are you doing?" She asked and Lucy raised a brow.

"Making sure you don't pack anything that would make you look like a prude, trust me, where is that bikini you bought last month?" She asked and Levy shook her head as she went through her closet, finding the red and white, striped bikini that was cute but still sexy, though she had never gotten the courage to wear it. "Good, that is going in because you are not wearing that granny suit, you'd look like a soccer mom at a pool party!" Lucy chuckled and Levy snorted slightly, okay so the bathing suit was a little old fashioned but she didn't think it was that bad. Unlike Levy, Lucy wanted to be a writer and Levy loved reading her books, Levy was a bit of a book worm herself but Lucy had more fashion sense while Levy just wore what she found comfortable. That showed even now, Lucy was wearing a pink night gown while Levy was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, an old T-shirt that she used for decorating and anything else so it was slightly stained.

"We're off on a vacation, not a fashion show; I don't think my appearance really matters!" Levy scoffed as she pulled out more clothes and Lucy began making a pile of what Levy was allowed to wear and what she wasn't. The discarded clothes were thrown on the floor while Lucy folded the clothes Levy was taking and put them in the suitcase.

"Excuse me, Gajeel is going and I'll be damned if you don't get laid this week, what's it been... a year, your virginity has probably grown back now?!" Lucy exclaimed and Levys cheeks burned but she didn't react to Lucy's comment. Her last serious relationship ended badly and she really didn't want to date or have sex with anyone so she didn't, she surrounded herself with her studies to distract herself from those needs. Gajeel and Levy had never gotten together in either way, he stole a kiss from her last new year's eve but that was about it, their friendship circle were always making hints but neither seemed to play on their feelings.

"I highly doubt I'll be getting laid, doesn't Gajeel have a girlfriend now?" Levy asked, it was a seemingly innocent question but that sparked Lucy's curiosity on her best friend's feelings as she stopped folding clothes.

"Oh-ho wouldn't you like to know!" She teased and Levy huffed as she rolled her eyes and threw a pair of shorts at her blonde friends face. Lucy laughed, folding the accepted shorts and putting them in the suitcase before closing it but not zipping it as she needed some other stuff. "Actually, no, they split up a month ago, he said his heart was somewhere else and he was an asshole but he wasn't going to lead her on anymore" Lucy divulged and Levy bit her lip. "I think I know exactly where that heart is... don't you?" Lucy grinned and Levy looked up at her, the bluenettes face blushing brightly and she shook her head as she grabbed her brush and some of her bandannas that kept her short bangs out of her face.

"N-no... he doesn't like me in that way Lucy and you know that, plus, I don't have time for boys at the moment!" Levy squeaked though a secret part of her hoped that his heart was hers. Lucy rolled her eyes but Levy ignored it as she grabbed her large, red bag and put all of her text books and note books in it, with a few pens. Levy tried to push away the thoughts of him as she closed her suitcase properly and put it beside her bed, doing the same with her red bag.

"You never know, this trip might pull you both in the same direction" Lucy stated as Levy crawled into bed, hiding under the thin covers. What direction would that be? She was more of a commitment type of girl but Gajeel... he was a ladies man, he never stayed in relationships very long, they were opposites completely and she really didn't want to have her heart broken by him of all people.

"I don't even like him, he's an ass and he thinks he's better than everyone, he treats girls like objects and if you haven't noticed, I'm not into that sort of guy, me and him are just not compatible!" Levy tried to argue as Lucy turned off the light and got in to her own bed with a light laugh.

"Sure, whatever you say... night Levy" she hummed and Levy pouted, they just didn't go together, it was like a wolf and a mouse, those together was like trying to put a flower petal and a lit match together. She was timid and polite, she was afraid of small dogs for goodness sake, he was strong and fierce, he was the typical bad boy who always got into fights and she didn't want to be another heartbroken cliché.

"Good night Lucy" Levy mumbled slightly lost in her thoughts. In her stories the smart girl fell for the bad boy and it was a forest fire waiting to happen, the flames may be beautiful but after was nothing but pain and she didn't want that. With a huff she rolled over and stared at the ceiling, it was just seven days, seven days no one could really fall head over heels for someone in seven days, she should be fine if she stayed away from him. She closed her eyes, thinking of ways to avoid him when it came to it until sleep finally took over.
