Chapter 2:

Through the Grapevine

7:00am

A bluenette in bed after about an hour of sleep threw his shirt over his the clock to muffle the sound of the alarm but it was all in vain because a 7:01am his face was covered by a blue cat.

"Meow!" This was followed by the voice of its owner;

"Happy!" There it was, that voice belonged to none other than Natsu Dragneel.

"Ugh..." Great throw a hangover into the equation for a brilliant morning.

The cat shot off his face and right into the pinkettes hands.

"Jellal you really should wake up."

The bluenette groaned again and hugged his pillow tighter, he didn't plan on moving anytime soon.

"Geez, don't you remember that job you just so happen to have? You remember why you got it right?" Natsu's face was covered with a broad smile as he watched Jellal fall out of his bed and run to the bathroom.

"Aye!" Shouted the oddly literate cat.

"What is it Happy?" The blue cat found his way into Jellal's dresser, Natsu came over to see what had fascinated his cat so much, unfortunately at this time Jellal came out of the bathroom to get some clothes only to find his friend searching through his dresser, it didn't take for one of Jellal's shoes, which were conveniently lying next to the bathroom door, to hit Natsu in the back of the head.

"Owww!" The man cried, "What was that for Jelly?"

The towel clad man just shook his head, "Get out of my apartment...NOW!"

"No can do, buddy. Someone has to make sure you get to that job of yours 'cause we all know that if we didn't you'd whined up getting yourself fired." He said picking up his cat, "I'll be waiting outside," with that he left the room leaving Jellal alone, naked and standing next to his now open dresser.

"I'm sorry, again, you're right I couldn't even protect you from a cat, I really am useless," he whispered to whatever was in the dresser.

He then decided that he had been naked long enough he picked up his clothes and left to get changed for work.


On the other side of the city in a penthouse apartment Lucy was busying herself attempting to make breakfast.

Emphasis on the word 'attempting'.

Unfortunately for Lucy this wasn't her apartment, don't get me wrong Lucy did go home, but every morning she tends to show up at one of her friends houses and this morning the target was none than Erza Scarlet, who was soon in the kitchen with what looked like a bird's nest on her head.

"Lucy," she paused, "What piece of rotting roadkill did you decide to burn today?"

"I didn't know you kept road kill hehehe..." Let me clarify, Lucy is not a comedian, but someone has to cheer up our dear Erza... But I guess after this time she still hasn't the red-head isn't a morning person.

Erza staggered to the cupboard the to get herself some weetabix, because that is surely the best way to start a day.

"Lucy pass me some strawberries and cream."

The blonde obediently did as she was told and gathered the fruit and cream then she placed them in front of the redhead, while Erza started to prepare her breakfast she said, "So Erza what do you have planned for the day?"

Erza took a break from preparing her cereal and gave the Too-Perky-For-Mornings blonde a death glare, "I have work today..."

Lucy took a bite of her concoction and oddly enough she seemed perfectly fine, but this girl could just about stomach anything which was good for her but terrible for anyone who had to watch.

"Ok, but are you still coming to Mira's pre 'Bachelorette party' party, Erz?"

"Yeah, of course I am but please tell me why she's having two parties." Erza yawned finishing off her cereal.

"Let the matchmaker have her moment, it's not like the stripper's gonna be Gray," she said stuffing what looked like an egg into her mouth.

Erza smirked, "You're only known him a few months you so have no idea how fitting that is," she decided it was time to make herself look presentable and went back to her room to pick up some clothes then went to the bathroom.

Lucy was left to her own devices so she did the only thing that could keep her occupied at that point, she texted;

To Mira

-Mornin' Mira xxx-

From Mira

-Good Morning Lucy! :)-

No matter what Mira would always reply she had her phone on hand 24/7 I suppose it is necessary since she's a massive gossiper.

From Mira

-So did you have any luck finding Erza a man?-

As Lucy recalled it didn't look like her scarlet haired pal was interested in anyone but she did end up on the balcony alone with Jellal of all people, pity that it seemed iplike a less than pleasant first meeting.

To Mira

-She founds man, but it looks like they made war not love-

From Mira

-Oh I see ;) but did you get a name or face or anything?-

To Mira

-Yeah, I'll tell you at your party xx-

When Lucy was done texting as if on queue Erza came out of the bathroom adorning a form-fitting white short-sleeved blouse, a navy blue skirt and a pair of black boots, needless to say this girl was stunning.

"Lucy I've gotta go to work now." She said but what she really meant was, "Lucy you can leave now," but this was only because it was morning and she was cranky.

The blonde caught the message, "Well, I guess I better get going, I promised Levy at the Java Hut at eight, you know the one over in Hargeon Town."

Erza opened her front door, "Well then, you better get going or you'll be late, Hargeon is quite a distance away from here, oh and tell Levy I said hi," her voice full of fake sincerity.

"Yeah, yeah I get it," Lucy said walking towards the door, "remember to wear something nice tonight," and then she left Erza alone basking in tranquility, that is until she realised that she was actually running late.

"Crap!"


7:52am

"Crap..." A certain bluenette muttered whilst being escorted to work.

"What was that?" Natsu smirked still holding Happy.

Jellal groaned, "You know when you said you were making sure I got work?" The pinkette nodded, "Yeah, thought you'd be driving or at least let me take the bus."

"Aye," Happy meowed.

"Man you know about my motion sickness I can't get on a bike without passing out."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Then they continued walking until they were in front a large building that was very similar to most corporate offices but this one had an image of Jellal's tattoo on its front.

Natsu and Happy stared at the building awe, "Dude why do you hate working here so bad? if I had everything set up for me from the get go I'd enjoy every second of it."

Jellal shrugged and the check his watch, "Natsu it is now eight o'clock you have 12 hours to get you and the guys ready for later," Jellal was now in business mode.

"What style of song you thinking?"

"ok here's a challenge, how about a mix between Jimi Hendrix and Ed Sheeran?"

Happy literally sweat dropped at the near impossible request while Natsu was beaming, "Yeah, got it, let's synchronise our watches!"

The bluenette smirked, "Synchronise? Thats a big word for you," before Natsu could even respond he was already inside the building.

"Another day in hell," Jellal sighed walking through the corridors with employees showing their plastic smiles as they greeted him the hallways, that was until he reached the room of the man who planned on turning his life into another pawn for his own sadistic pleasure, the chief director of Fernandez Inc. Mr. Siegrain Fernandez. Jellal's older brother.


A small bluenette waited patiently at a table in the corner of the Java Hut, a very obscure coffee-house in Hargeon, it was usually the meeting point for hipsters and poetry boffins.

"Where is she?" She said checking for whoever she was waiting for.

Lucy walked in panicked and completely oblivious to the calming atmosphere since she made sounds that even dogs have difficulty hearing, drawing the attention of everyone in the shop.

"LEVY! I'm so sorry I'm late, you see I was at Erza's an-"

The bluenette 'Levy' cut her off quite rudely if I do say so myself, "Lulu, be quiet everybody's trying to listen to the poetry."

"Oh right," she turned to the poet on stage, "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

And she ran over to Levy's table in the corner of the store.

Levy sighed, "You always love making a scene don't you?" Sipping her mocha latte, "so can I have the novel now? I am the editor after all."

Lucy blinked, "oh, yeah..." She began searching through her bag for draft, "Thanks for publishing me anyways."

"Lulu you're so talented, it's an honor for McGarden Publishing to have you."

"Stop it, Levy," stuttered the blushing blonde.

Finishing her coffee the bluenette decided to ask;

"So did interesting happen last night?"

"Wha?"

"I heard through the grapevine that you went clubbing with Erza, so did anything happen?"

"Nothing really, there was this hot pink haired guy, he had arms like a drummer, so hot," she gushed, "oh yeah, I saw Jellal there too."

Levy nodded and a smirk appeared on her face, "oo la la, I see Lucy found herself a man... Wait did you say Jellal? As in Jellal Fernandez, the one that went to our high school?"

"The very same."

It was safe to say Levy completely astonished, "You've kidding right? That guy was so shy, there is no way he'd be at a club."

"That's not the only thing," Lucy breathed, "When I found him he was alone on the balcony with Erza."

The bookish Bluenette calmed herself down a bit, "I wonder how this story will unfold."

Lucy giggled, "Lets just focus on Mira's party, Ok."

"Haha, okay okay, let's save this gossip for later."
