Hi Lovelies and Happy Halloween! So on my Deviant Art I have done one-shots in the past on holidays I decided to have holiday one-shots all in one folder (is that what it's called) just like the Nalu Fluff week. Sadly though because I'm starting this now and I don't want to use the ones from DA I will be starting towards the end of the year. But after I have done some holidays I'll go back and fix them in the order they should be in. (I do admit that I like my version of Nalu, Gruvia, and Gajevy in Getting Pinched… St. Patrick's day for those that don't know what the heck i'm talking about. That one is on my DA, maybe when the time comes I'll give you all both of them.) Um obsession is Michael Buble's new album particularly the song called "Someday" which has Meghan Trainor featured on it. Um for fanfiction story I'm going to say Battle of the Bands by furiouspotatoes this one is a Nalu and Sting and Yukino pairing (would that be called Stingy? I realized how wrong that sounds so I deeply apologize for anyone that wants Sting and Yukino to get together.) but in this story along with another story I've mentioned before called Red Card, Sting and Lucy are siblings but they don't like sharing about being siblings to anyone. Ok I'm going to start now.
The Fairy Tail guild for the past two weeks have been busy as ever. With Mira, Freed, and Kinana setting up the floors with Halloween directions and on Friday nights the guild would have movie night on the lacrima watching all things that stood in the category of Halloween. Some guild members even went on missions to be a role for a few days in Haunted houses except for one team… Natsu's team.
"Luce why can't we do this job?" waving a flyer in front of my nose while his whining was clear as day. "I've told you already I'm not doing any jobs that involve the words haunted, house, or scary. Not to mention I doubt that Wendy and Charla would go with us which isn't fair seeing as they are a part of the team." Holding a pumpkin spice tea in between my palms to warm my hands up i decided to ignore that pouty face that Natsu was making at my remark. "I wasn't inviting the rest of the team I was going to just invite you and Happy." his chin resting on his hand while watching me continuing to drink my tea. "Well Natsu I can tell you right now you would be better to convince Happy with a bucket of fish to get him to go on that job with you cause I'm not going." "Come on Luce it will be fun they're looking for a princess which might I add you basically were before joining Fairy Tail and none of the other girls in Fairy Tail can do that role as well as you." I put my cup down before turning to Natsu, him perking up at thinking I am going to agree. As if! "Natsu for the last time," taking in a breath before shouting in his face, "I'm not going!" I turn back towards my tea but even that now is just making me angry. Placing my money on the counter I head on over to the request board. I can hear Natsu following me but I choose to ignore it. "Luce there isn't going to be a request that you are going to like up there I already check." I slide a glance at him before continuing gazing at the different request, "I'll believe that Natsu when Happy can't talk or fly." "Natsu! Lushi is being mean to me." I look up to see the said exceed landing on top of Natsu's head Natsu saying an aye in an agreement with the little blue fur ball. "It's not being mean if it's the truth there is no way on Earthland that I will ever do that kind of job." looking at the flyers begging for one of them to not be anything spooky, but of course going the opposite of my name there wasn't any. "I told you that they wouldn't have any. Around Halloween time there is hardly any missions that aren't spooky Luce." swinging the flyer in his hands before he glances at it and continues on with his statement, "Plus this one all you've gotta do is the scarring and from what I can read that is a lot of zeros in the reward column." My ears pricked up at the mention of money thinking on how on Halloween I have to pay for rent I quickly snatch the paper out of Natsu's hands before reading it carefully. Which Natsu was correct they only needed a princess and hang on.. "Natsu this needs three characters." pointing at it to show it to him but he doesn't come any closer. "I know hence why Happy and I are going. Happy is going to dress up as the zombie baby while I'll be the knight in shining whatever." Looking back at the flyer before looking up at Natsu and Happy who went down to Natsu's shoulder. "You do realize that Happy won't be with us then most likely due to the set." He scoffs at me, "Happy will be fine. In fact he shouldn't be the one you worry about." my eyebrows pull together, hesitantly responding, "Why?" He comes up next to me and point at the part that clearly I didn't read.
Knight has to be able to have fanged teeth to put on the princess.
Suggest that the people that come trust each other well enough.
And all actors have to go through the house that way they get a feel of what their characters are like in any situation. THIS IS A MUST IF NOTHING ELSE!
"I can't believe you made me agree to this." pushing my head up to see Lucy pouting at the thought of being a scarer and a scary. "Luce it wouldn't have mattered I had already asked Mirajane if the three of us could have it and she put it in the book. Once in the book there is no going back. Not to mention out of all the request up on the board that was the one that you would agree to." She knew I was right but she's like me and everyone else in Fairy Tail stubborn as an ox. "SO if I had said no then how were you going to get me to go with you? We're going to Hargeon and that requires a train to get there." Shuddering at the thought of the word train before I decided to answer her, "Well let's just say I would've come up with an excuse to get you to come and if not I would have to knock you out." Lucy stopped writing to her mother most likely by the emotions in her face before she turned towards me, "You would've knocked me out?" I give a small laugh at the thought. Why would I hurt Lucy? "No Luce," my voice calming her down enough for her to return her attention to the sheet of paper, "Come on Luce you know I would never hurt you intentionally… right?" my face was coming closer together in the sheer thought of pulling a hair off of her head. "Yes Natsu, I know that if you hurt me it would never be on purpose. There is a train leaving Hargeon at eleven tomorrow do you want to do that time?" the way that she could easily change a subject but still have the majority of the subject on one thing to me had always fancied me. "Uh do we have too?" my voice spooning whine like I was feeding a baby. "Yes Natsu because Happy can't fly that fast or long and I will not walk that distance." her tone letting me know that this was the end of that discussion. "Fine then I guess that's ok." she perked up giving me a small smile before Happy flew into my vision. "Natsu! Lushi doesn't have any fish!" his voice full of sadness while he was flying in my vision with his wings fluttering. "That's because you ate it all." Lucy probably realizing at this point she wasn't going to be able to write anymore so deciding on putting her writing utensils away before turning towards Happy and me sending a small glare my way. "Hey I'm not the one eating your fish!" "Lushi Natsu's being mean!" "You both do realize that both of you guys eat all of my food. Right?" "Really I thought you did cause of how heavy you are to carry?" "Shut it blue fur ball!" "Natsu Lushi is being mean to me. Again." "You're the one that called me fat." I lifted a hand before stating a fact, "Lucy, Happy called you heavy not fat there is a difference," my voice lowering but knowing she could still hear, "Not a very big one," "Hey!" "But never the less Happy didn't call you fat." Moving my finger to pointing at Happy, "Happy, Lucy doesn't eat fish as often as you do so the fact that you eat all her fish doesn't make me sympathize for you on not having any fish from Lucy's fridge." pointing at myself, "And Luce how could you say that I, Natsu Dragneel eat all of your food? I contribute by going to the store with you, paying a quarter of the bill along with caring all the groceries on the way back." once my monologue was finish I opened my eyes to they were both looking at me as if they never had seen me before. "Who are you and what have you done with Natsu?" Happy coming over to poke me all over my face. "Happy knock it off… Happy… Happy!" grabbing his paws before he could continue, "I said knock it off." "Looks like it is Natsu Lushi." Happy squirming away to settle on Lucy's shoulders. She turned her head bringing her hand up to cover Happy's ear before whispering pretty loudly, "How can you tell?" Happy did the same thing Lucy did just moments before except more loud, "Natsu always gets mad when I poke him a lot." "You do realize I am still here and can hear you right?" they both looked like they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar before saying a quick of course we knew that. "We should probably go to bed soon knowing you two being non-morning people." I look over at the clock hanging on the wall to see that it was close to ten o'clock. "Ok well I'm going to take a shower if that's ok." Getting up and heading to the bathroom before closing the door hearing from a distance Lucy and Happy talking.
"Never again am I going on that train!" looking down to see the sick dragon slayer crawling off the train Happy flying above our heads, "Natsu you always say that." "Come on Happy and Natsu let's get this over with." i shiver at the thought of having to go through a scary house but soon I feel a warm arm draped around my shoulder and something landing on my head. At the thought of my two closest friends comforting me knowing how much I'm nervous and scared made me smile while we headed to the house.
Let just say when we reached the house I could feel my nerves panicking. The house itself looked like it came straight out of the most horrifying movie. Tombstones in both the front and backyard of the house and although the house was about a quarter of the Heartfilia mansion it looked like it was made for a kingdom at one point if you minus the debris on everything and the haunting look. The stair that led to to the porch and front door would squeak even if Happy would've walked on them. Natsu pushes the doorbell and the noise sounded like a dying cat. The door slowly creaked open to reveal a young short man looking at us with frustration, "I have told you that no one is aloud to be in this house except staff!" "Um sir we are the staff." At this his fist lowered before he peered at each of us. "No that can not be I know everyone that works here and I have never seen you too." "There's three of us." Happy mumbling which I could feel bad for but I was pulling out the flyer to hand to the man. "You didn't request three mages from Fairy Tail?" snatching the flyer out of my hand he quickly reads it before turning around and yelling, "You old lady why do we need these kids to be here?" by the mention an elder came up out of nowhere, "Now now Jacob be nice I asked for them to come because three people got sick and couldn't make it for the opening. "And you invite Fairy Tail!" "What do you have against Fairy Tail?" I could see why Natsu would be beyond confuse because I am as well, why would anyone not like Fairy Tail? Instead of answering Natsu's question he just shoves the paper into the elder lady's hands and walks away. "Don't worry about him he is like that with everyone." "Really he's rude to the people that we asked to help? I would hate to find out how he act to those that didn't want to help him." I shoved my elbow hard into Natsu's ribs before warning, "Natsu.." The elder lady just waves at both our responses to her previous statement, "Oh it's quite alright dear. A lot of people would have easily said good riddance and leave but the fact you three," Happy beaming at being known, "Are staying than I have no problem with how you respond to my youngest son." Opening the door wider she beckons us to come in and sit down while she offers us something to drink, "um Mrs.." "Oh I should tell you all my name it's Lavender." "Well Mrs. Lavender if you don't mind me asking is your son like that with all mages?" She slowly nods her head a sad smile on her face, "Yes he's like that with all people but more like it when a mage is around." "Why?" Happy taking a moment to stop drinking his ice cold milk looking silently up at Lavender. "My husband was um killed by a mage." "That's horrible." my face going wide from shock Why wasn't the magic council on this? "Yes it is, well every since Jacob found out and the magic council was never to find out who it was Jacob has just pushed everyone away and refuse to acknowledge mages." Taking a moment to sip her tea before moving her line vision to Natsu and me, "Of course I knew it wasn't a mage in a guild like Fairy Tail or Sabertooth; you all have done things to help protect our country and Fairy Tail is a guild that my husband and I trust with our lives. But to Jacob everyone that has magic is a disgrace to him." "Well I guess Lucy, Happy, and I are just going to have to show him that he is wrong about mages." we all look over to see determination burning in Natsu's eyes before I agree with him a smile blooming on my face while Happy says an aye. "Well I thank you in advance for your determination. Oh look at the time," glancing at the grandfather clock ringing of the new hour, "I best show you all around that way you get a feel of the house." Great…..
"Over here will be where Happy will be." pointing at a room that had a rocking chair, crib, and anything that a rich family would use for a nursery. She picks up a file handing to the exceed before continuing, "Make sure to study that to understand your character." "Aye." Happy flew into the room and landed on the rocking chair before a figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his tail. A loud unpleasant sound came out of Happy before he zoomed into my chest. "Oh I should've mentioned before I let you roam the room there are triggers and traps throughout the house, it's to make it more fun for not only myself but for the customers." Natsu snickering at the exceed's shaking fur. "Now if you can follow me into the next room." Walking in the nursery before she steps on a floor board and the wall slides open to show the next room looking like a master bedroom. I follow behind her with Natsu trailing behind before I feel something pulling my hair, "Natsu quit pulling my hair." "What are you talking about Luce I'm not touching you." At that i turn to where I can feel my hair being pulled to see a hand sticking out and grabbing whatever goes by but that wasn't the reason why I screamed oh no it was all the blood that I can see and ripped skin to show even bones. "AAAAAHHHH!" Backing up and hitting a wall before it disappears and just as I am about to fall to my doom a warm hand grips my arm before pulling me up. "Hang on Luce I got you." grunting before he pulls me up in which we both trip and i land on top of his chest. "Oh am I interrupting something?"
"Oh am I interrupting something?" I move my head to see past Lucy's hair to see the lady giving a smile that almost compares to Mira when she goes all weird. Don't tell her I said that! "Um we were doing anything." Before I know it Lucy is standing next to me brushing her skirt while I'm still on the floor Happy flying above our heads snickering at the teasing he most likely will do later. "Lucy almost fell so I tried to catch her." "Oh you two don't have to explain anything to me. I know young love when I see it. My husband and I have had our fair share of going in and out of love with each other." Wait what? Me and Luce in love… I don't deserve Lucy.
By the time we finished exploring the house more actors came and the Lavender quickly introduce us; the "mom" and "dad" of Happy's character both were a little young to have a kid in my opinion. Although I can't really judge seeing as Lisanna and I had Happy when we were seven. They both had brown hair the male having green eyes while the woman had an almost baby blue. Daisy I think was the woman's name and she was beyond a little surprised that Happy was blue but the guy named Rolon had an automatic thing to flirt with Lucy. "Rolon don't make me tell your girlfriend that you are flirting with women." I hid myself behind Luce seeing the forming tick mark on the lady's forehead that reminds me so much of a certain red head. "You wouldn't." even though he tried to act all cool and collected he was anything but cool and collected. "You are willing to doubt me?" her look said it all in a way reminding me of the Edolis version of Luce. Mischievous and all knowing using weakness in men against them. There were a bunch others and one girl that reminded me of an older version of Wendy asked Lavender were her son was, "I don't know he said that he had something to do before this but that was hours ago. And look at the time," she turned towards us continuing on, "You better get in costume and makeup. The rest of you we will be in the living going over some notes before we start this thing."
After I get my costume on and the makeup is put on my face I take a glance at the new me for the evening. "Wow I gotta say I look good like a vampire knight." the costume itself looked like the royal guards of Fiore except "gently" (not really) used, tears in the sleeves, the helmet rusted with age, shoes worn out as if their previous owner had marched to war. The little makeup they did was just to make me look more gruesome with my fangs showing on my arm a bite mark to show where I was bitten and became the damn thing that walked the Earthland. "Natsu?" I slowly turn and my heart stops.
I walk in a room to see Natsu staring at himself in the mirror, Happy had already gotten changed and went to be with Diana and Rolon to get to know them better. As I watch I can feel my heart pounding louder at just the glance of him. To say at the very least he looked good as a knight although given his choice he would have probably prefered a dragon instead. But what really made my heart pound more was his face, the makeup artist did well in making him look like a hungry vampire bringing out the famous fangs of Natsu's. Lightning up his face to make him look dead which would never be the case for Natsu Dragneel being so full of life and adventure. I hadn't even realized my mouth opened before I could faintly hear his name softly from my lips. Once he turned around we were staring at each other for a few minutes before he mumbled, "Wow…" my dress was simple but still held the grace of a princess.. If a princess would had their breast almost hanging out of the dress.
By the time we had gotten through the first round of visitors I could already feel a hickey forming on my neck. "Natsu try to not give me a bunch of pimples before the night is over." Natsu looked at me before shaking something out of his mind and agreed. "Hey Natsu are you ok?" "Yeah why wouldn't I be?" i was looking at my fingers twirling them around to try and settle nerves but it just made it grow, "Um I never thanked you earlier for saving me so thanks." "Don't worry about it Luce." "How can I not? I can't even walk through a house without having you have to save me!" i tried to keep my voice down but I just couldn't as much as I want to say I am nothing like the princess stereotype everyday I feel like it. Before I knew it i can feel a warm embrace i slowly lift my head to see into Natsu's eyes, "Lucy you are one of the strongest people I know. Granite I don't know what it's like to have someone always saving me but I do know that I would do anything to keep you safe Luce." my face was starting to blush at that but quickly went dim from his next choice of words, "You are my nakama. And Fairy Tail always saves their nakama." my arms had unconsciously went to rest on his shoulders but i pulled them down to my side, "Is that all I am to you? Your nakama?" neither of us realized that our faces were getting closer and closer, "Well what else would there be?" "Well maybe something to do with love." "Love? Like Lisanna, Mira, and Elfman how I care for them?" I slowly shook my head, "No like Bisca and Alzack feel for each other." "Well there is one girl that is close to that description but I don't know if she feels the same way or not?" I slightly pulled back a little at hearing that thinking it had to be Lisanna. Well Lucy, you started this so you got to finish it. "Well you won't know unless you try. You could tell her." before i could say ghost i felt him pulling my face to meet his lips. The kiss itself was sweet and gentle as if he was testing it out and seeing my reaction. Natsu was little surprised when I kissed him back before he escalated the kiss. Once we broke apart we both were breathing heavily before he caught his breathe enough to reply, "I'm a man …..of action ….Luce. Haven't …. You figured… that out now?" I pulled on his lip with my own bring him back to me for another heated kiss before smirking at the thought. "Of course I know that Natsu. I wouldn't want you any other way." at this we both laughed before we heard clapping and the annoying high pitched voice rolling and prolonging any word said, "They like each other."
I know I know I stopped on Nalu Fluff week to do this but when I started it I was still working on matching which if you looked at when that was uploaded I only had like a week and a few days to type this up in time for Halloween. I also happen to be terrified of horror films and scary movies so I kind of based myself on to how Lucy would act in a haunted house. I mean I freaked out when I watched "The Others" for the first time like that is how easily I am afraid of things up that nature. I mean I liked it and it was definitely a movie that makes you think and I was even more surprised when my mom asked a question (cause she's seen this movie before) and I knew the answer and told her. I also don't need to watch a bunch of horror films or ghost films to know that "The Others" is nothing compared to some other movies. On to a more less vulgar but not so pleasing note I was going to add Gray and Juvia but on google docs (where I type these up) I was already at like page three (this was when I was still typing the story) and hadn't even started with Gray or Juvia seeing each other at the guild or like Gray's view of how Lucy and Natsu were talking about going on a request. Maybe I'll do a seperate one of their version for next halloween. Although the likelihood of me going through all my docs to find this one in a year is slim to none.
I would've finished this sooner but school got in the way (cough cough fucking math). *Don't get me wrong math and me go like pb&j except for algebra 2 and stats but I almost threw my laptop at someone because of a test I had to take were it was marking me wrong for an answer I had correct. Now how many of you would be a tad bit angry if that kept happening for another two tries? (cause my teacher allows us to try the test three times.) ? so you can probably understand my frustration.
Moving on with life, Thanks to all that have added some of my stories to their favorites and watch list again don't forget to review even if it's a simple I think you meant this instead of that i love getting responses to my stories and I try to write down the user's name to put into the next chapter or story and respond like a bunch of other authors that I follow do. Ok ok I'm done with my little rants and now i can go back to finishing off Nalu Fluff week.
Kayla out ✌
