"Hey Mira! How's my credit?"

"Mira! I'm betting that Levy'll be the one that asks Gajeel out first-no time limit! Two thousand jewels!"

"Five thousand jewels on Levy and Gajeel getting together by the end of this month."

"I'll put eight thousand on that one, Macao!" Pantherlily's eyes gleamed. He'd have to start plotting ways to get Gajeel and Levy together. Maybe a mission would be a good way to start them off...

"That's a good idea, Macao-san!" Lucy smiled sweetly, "D'you think there's a bet on me and Natsu?"

Macao froze, as did everyone else in the guild. "Of course not, Lucy! There's no way we'd bet on you with Natsu," the guild chorused. Macao and Wakaba quickly pocketed their bets on Lucy and Natsu.

Lucy frowned at her guildmates. "So why is Gajeel and Levy-chan the only source of bets? I know Mira has more sources than just Gajeel and Levy-chan."


"Juvia would like to bet, Mira-san." The water mage looked extremely nervous, her hands fiddling with her hat.

"Yes Juvia?" Mira's calculating smile was plastered all over her face, and the rest of the onlookers' faces.

"Juv-Juvia would like to bet on Gray-sama and Juvia. Can Juvia do that?" Juvia squeaked.

Mira smiled, "How much would you like to bet?"

"A thousand jewels, that Juvia will make a move on Gray-sama by next month."

The onlookers gasped in shock. Juvia? Making a move on Gray? Unthinkable!

Mira only smiled. "Sure thing, Juvia. Are there any more takers on Gajeel and Levy?"

"Five thousand on her making the first move!"

"Two thousand six for Gajeel making the first move!"

"I need rent money, so put me down for four thousand on Levy making the first move!"

"Aye sir!"

"How am I with the ones I already bet on?" Levy pushed her reading glasses up. Everyone froze.

"Levy!"

"When did you-"

"You're betting too?"

"Well, Levy, you haven't won or lost anything yet, so feel free to make another bet," Mira winked.

"Hmm...Add another thousand on me making the first move," she decided.

"You're betting on yourself?" Lucy's jaw dropped.

"It's a good source of rent money, and a girl needs to have fun," Levy giggled.


When Team Natsu left the building, Max raised his hand. "Seven thousand on Lucy asking Natsu out first."

"I'll add one thousand to that, saying he'll bring the rest of his team along when she does," Macao snorted.

Cana mumbled, "Put me down for five thousand on Lucy making a scene about it when she asks him."

Mira laughed out loud when she looked at her notebook, "These bets really are something, aren't they?"

"Aye sir!"
