A/N: This idea has been floating around my head for... a year now? xD I'm just such a big lazy ass. So yeah. Nothing serious, I probably won't be updating this regularly because reason above uhuh yeahp ^^; And yes, each chapter'll be roughly this length. Like I said, it's nothing serious. More like a drabble series. Hope you like! Reviews are greatly appreciated :3
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing other than the plot.
"What do you want to do today, Asuka-chan?" Lucy glanced at the tiny figure clutching at her skirt, "Natsu and Happy won't be responsible for you until tomorrow, although who knows why your parents thought it'd be a good idea to let those idiots take care of you while they're off on their mission."
The seven year old giggled, "Natsu-nii-chan's really funny."
The celestial mage grinned in quiet agreement, " So, anything in particular you want to do?"
"Ooh, the Travelling Magic Carnival's in town, right?" Asuka skipped happily to Lucy's apartment door. "Let's take a look, Lucy-nee-chan!"
"That's a good idea. I've been meaning to check it out, too. Let's go after lunch!" she inserted her key into the ancient looking lock and pushed the creaky door open.
"We'll have beef steak and mash potatoes. I also have some leftover-" she never got to list whatever leftover she had as a blue furry thing launched itself out of her living room and onto her face, almost suffocating her.
"Mmf! Mmmm-fff!" she gasped and pulled the unidentified object from her face. Coughing and trying to clear her head, she glanced down and saw what -or who- it was, "Happy!"
"Lucy," the winged Exceed whined, "Your face is so pointy. I think I bruised my chest or something."
"You damn cat! You're the one who attacked me! Wait... what are you even doing here?"
"It wasn't me," Happy flew back into the room, "Natsu threw me as you opened the door."
He landed lazily on a pink haired, grinning boy's shoulder, "Yo, Lucy!"
"What the hell are you doing here? This is breaking and entering!" she shut the door behind her.
Natsu crouched down to pat Asuka's head, who giggled back, "You're first in line to take care of Asuka so we came by to help you! The kid might get bored or something."
"She will so not get bored!"
"Hey, Lucy." a handsome teen with a scar on his forehead hopped down from the windowsill, "Brought you and Asuka some ice cream."
"Gray! Why are you here? W-wait, we can't eat ice cream. It's the middle of winter!"
"So? I eat ice cream all year around. Don't you?"
"We're normal people, unlike you, Gray." a velvety voice spoke from the chair by the fireplace.
"Erza-san!" Lucy spun around, astonished.
"Hello, Lucy." the redhead replied, taking a book from the shelf beside her, "How are you?"
"Neh, Lucy. Don't you have any booze around?" a brunette smelling strongly of sake interrupted from inside the fridge.
"Cana!"
"Honestly, Cana. Can't you be more refined than that?" a white Exceed retorted from the bedroom door.
"Charle?!"
"Pardon the intrusion, Lucy-san." a soft voice said. "We brought some strawberry shortcake for Asuka."
"What! Wendy?!"
"Cake? I would love to have some!" Erza loomed over the blue haired dragonslayer, eyes glinting slightly.
"Where did all of you come from?!" Lucy cried, overwhelmed by the amount of people in her apartment. Her wails went unnoticed, though.
"You're so stupid, icebrain." Natsu scoffed, "Ice cream sucks. Everyone knows a good bonfire is the best meal."
"Your taste in food is the weirdest, flame breath." Gray laughed meanly.
"Watch'a say, pervert-stripper?!"
"Come at me, you barbaric dumbass!"
"Enough!" Erza scolded. Lucy let loose a sigh of relief. Erza will be able to calm everyone down. A fight between Natsu and Gray is something she definitely did not want occurring in her tiny home.
The S class mage, however, grabbed the cake box from Wendy's tiny hands, "We're eating this!"
"Yay, cake for lunch!" Asuka squealed, bouncing up and down.
Lucy collapsed on the couch and helplessly watched the chaos unfold before her, already feeling very exhausted.
"We are so not going to the Carnival today."
