Today was the day of not-so-fun fun. Well, not fun for me, but the rest of the team was ecstatic. They were saying that Fairy Tail was hosting an annual parade. I sighed. I REALLY didn't want to be a part of it. The parade was falling on the date of when I first ran away from my controlling father. I always get depressed at this time, so I decided to bury my sorrow in a strawberry smoothie made by none other than Mirajane.

"Lucy, is everything all right? The parade is next week, you should be preparing!" she asked, genuine concern in her voice.

"Well, I don't want to participate in the parade…" I trail off.

"Don't be silly! Why?" she kept at it. I frowned and shifted my gaze to the sweet-smelling smoothie under my nose.

"Because the parade falls on the anniversary of my escape. You know, from my father." I mumble. Mirajane just puts a hand on my shoulder, which makes me look up at her.

"You must realize that you don't have that life any more. I'm having a sleepover at my house tonight. All our friends are coming. Want to come?" she attempted to cheer me up. I smile. It worked.

"Okay, Mira." I reply. Mira smiles.

"Amazing! My house at 6:00, okay?" she says, clapping her hands together.

Man. Mira does know me. I'm glad it'll be just us girls for once. Flame-for-brains and the ice fairy always mess things up.

I nod to Mira in thanks, and sip my smoothie, sporting a new confidence. Well, until an arm slings around my shoulder.

"Hellooooooo, Luuuucy!~" he greets me. I turn to the pink-haired mage.

"Um, hi Natsu. Can I help you with anything?" I ask, my irritation vanishing when I see the happy glint in his eyes.

"Well, no. But I was wondering why you're lookin' so down." he said.

"It's nothing." I say, untangling myself from his arm. "I have to go now." I add, heading to my apartment. I walk along the sidewalk right next to the river, arms out wide.

"Watch out, Lucy! That's dangerous!" says a man from a boat.

"I'll be fine! Don't worry about me!" I call back. I reach my apartment and sit down on my bed. I repeat the conversation Mira and I had in my head.

So 6:00. Might as well start packing.

OOS: Time skip: 6:00

Bic:

"Hey, Lucy!" call the girls when I arrive at Mira's house.

"Hey, guys." I say, scanning the room. I see Levy, Mira, Cana, Juvia, Erza, and Wendy. They all rush up to hug me and soon I'm trapped under a pile of hugs. Once we're done, we get comfortable and have a nice game of truth or dare.

"Truth or dare?" Mira asks Levy, with an evil glint in her eye. Levy thinks for a minute.

"Truth." She decides.

"Is it true that you like Gajeel?" Mira says. Levy turns tomato on us, and finally replies in a small voice.

"Yes."

"My turn!" Cana shouts, downing a barrel of alcohol.

"Truth or dare?" Levy asks.

'Truth!" she burps, finishing off the barrel.

"What made you start drinking alcohol?" Levy questions in a small voice, still kind of embarrassed from her earlier answer.

"My life! It used to SUCK! Now I just like the feeling and taste, so I continued." she answers while pulling out another barrel from her bag.

"My turn, I guess." I say, shrugging.

"Okay, who do you think is the hottest guy in the guild?" Cana asks, her speech slurred.

"What do you mean hottest?" I ask, thinking of Natsu's fire, and shiver.

"DUH! I mean looks." She says with a wink.

"If I had to choose one it'd be…" I trail off. When I think of it now, his name pops up instantly.

WHAT? No! Nononononononononononononono no! He-he's not!

"Uh, well…." I say.

"I can see who you're thinking about." Juvia says, an eerie purple aura surrounding her.

"N-no! Not Grey. I-it's.."

"Oh. You can't be serious." Erza says, unimpressed.

OOS: With the Fairy Tail guys.

Bic:

"I can't believe it! Lucy ignored me!" Natsu says in disbelief.

"Maybe she thinks you're just not interesting." Happy suggested, a fish under his whiskers. Grey smirks.

"Yeah, ash-breath. Maybe." Grey says smugly. Before Natsu could send a stinging reply, the other men of Fairy Tail walk up to them.

"Hey, Natsu! Hey Grey! We're going to spy on the girls!" calls Gajeel. Natsu's eyes widen.

"Why would we do that?" he said.

"They're having a sleepover. Doncha ever wonder what they talk about?" the iron dragon slayer asked.

"All right. Seems fun. We could sneak around like ninjas!" he exclaimed.

"Nin-nin!" Happy said, striking a pose.

"Big sis said that the sleepover is at her house. I have a key to it. Manly men sneak around!" Elfman said, justifying the situation. After walking for some time, they came upon Mira's house.

"All right! I'm all fired up!" whispered Natsu. They quietly entered the house, Elfman using his key to open the door. They realized something.

"Hey, where are we going to hide?" asked Grey.

"Hmm….big sis has a room that she never goes in. She uses it as a closet, but it has a clear view of her room. I accidentally smashed a hole in it once, and she only covered it with a tarp. We can enter it from the kitchen." He said, trying to lower his loud, booming voice. The guys creep to the kitchen, and enter through the tarp. They felt around, then discovered the hole that was a window into Mira's room.

"Ha! There they are!" Natsu whispered.

"Well, the hottest guy…I can't do it!" Lucy exclaimed, throwing her hands up.

"Fine. Then who do you have a crush on?" Cana asked, winking. The guys sweat-dropped.

"Is this all they talk about?" Gajeel hissed.

"Let's just say he's been my friend for a long time." Lucky says, burying her face in her hands. The other girls looked at each other with a knowing look. Natsu felt someone bump him.

"Dude. That's you." Grey says. Suddenly, Natsu's hair wasn't the pinkest thing about him.

"Yes," Lucy sighs, "It's Natsu."

Then Natsu fainted.

OOS: All righty then. I'll be writing chapter two soon, so stay awesome!
