The Baby Project -
Day 1: Friday
Chapter 2 - Nashi, Nandos and Nonsensical Notes
The babies were things that looked they belonged in the Victorian era and we received bottles, cribs and clothes. The dolls were creepy and I was terrified especially when Damn Straight and Devil *cough* Angel got a doll that had one eye, Minerva's doll looked like an actual child and weirdly Erza & Jellal's had purple hair. Mirajane was fangirling, she didn't seem to care that her plastic doll looked like something from a horror movie. Freed did though and he pushed the kid over to Mirajane.
Juvia was ecstatic to be doing this project with Gray. She actually picked twins out of the box and everyone laughed at Juvia's expressions towards them both. To be fair Juvia's kids were the cutest dolls ever but Gray was not enjoying it all, he was really creeped out. To make the whole situation even worse, Lyon had a serious bite of the green eyed monster.
" Juvia loves her and Gray-sama's children!" Juvia laughed while Gray wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere.
Cana and Laxus were already arguing who was gonna keep the kid when they went out tonight. Midnight looked at the doll creepily, his doll was a perfect baby boy. There was no marks, smudges or dirt on Midnight's doll, but Midnight kept waving his creepy stick with a skull on, over the doll and kept chanting something. I was really disturbed at that point.
As me, Natsu and Happy went up to Coach Markarov, both of them were telling me to dive into the box and get a boy so they can call into Igneel. I ignored them and chose the one that was on top, it was a girl and both groaned at me. I laughed at their deflated faces, Natsu was sulking though but at least our kid didn't look that bad. She actually looked like Natsu, she had pink hair and a wide smile. The smile was a little bit to wide, and I knew if I woke up during the night, the doll would probably scare the living daylights out of me.
" Lucceee! Aww no why! I wanted a boy, so I could play sports with him! This isn't fair weirdo," Natsu said sulkily and I laughed at the dense idiot. How the hell did he expect to play sports with a plastic doll?
" Ok idiot I'm sorry! How about you pick her name?" I giggled at Natsu's delight. The teenage boy had a mental age of a 7 year old.
" She'll be called Nashi!" Natsu said.
" Why Nashi?" I questioned, I really liked the sound of the name.
" Na for Natsu and shi because it means ours," Natsu held her and I was pink as my best friends hair. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I couldn't stop smiling after that, would Natsu be this sweet if we had a kid? Whoa Lucy, did I just think that? Wow! The bell went and all the guys were going to football practise, then normally me Levy, Jet and Droy were going off to creative writing club.
" No Lucceee! I want Nashi to watch me play!" Did I hear that right? Then all of sudden Cana's baby had started crying and Laxus watched in horror. Everyone was watching the devil spawn in horror, it was so loud? Then one by one the babies were reacting.
" Make it stop Laxus!" Cana ordered.
" You are its mother!" Laxus said and then Cana glared at him.
" I need a fucking drink! I'm to young to deal with this shit," Cana whined as Laxus looked like he was going to pull his hair out. Cana on the other hand threw the doll in the bin, and Laxus then scooped it out.
" Cana look after the fucking kid! I need to go to practise and don't throw it away, Gildarts will be pissed if he knew that you were failing," Laxus was severely annoyed and Cana was furious when he mentioned Gildarts.
" Fine whatever sparky but you still owe me," As Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Jellal, Laxus, Rogue, Cobra and all the other football players ran onto the pitch. I followed them out and sat on the bleachers, Levy was sitting next to me and Juvia was on the other side. Minerva had already employed someone to look after her demon child as Rufus wasn't going to do it. The cheerleaders came out and I waved at Mirajane & Michelle, then Flare scowled at me.
" What the fuck is her problem?" Cana stood behind me and as I turned around, Cana was content at last, she had vodka and the baby was in her arms. So everything seemed alright on her side.
Out of the corner my eye I saw Erza bouncing the purple haired baby and she was pointing to Jellal. Erza was taking this family thing seriously, at the other corner of the bleachers I saw Freed holding the demon baby and Evergreen was sitting beside him with her little monster. Freed looked so out of place amongst the girls, Mirajane kept waving to him though. Freed was bothered about Laxus seeing him like that though and probably any of the football team. Warren was one row above him and he didn't seem particularly bothered, that the football team could see him with a plastic doll in his arms.
" Lu-chan this is so ridiculous," Levy sighed. " Why did I have to be partnered with him of all people?" Levy frowned.
" It's just two weeks Levy we can make it through," I smiled at the bluenette and she seemed a lot more comfortable.
" Where is Wendy though? I thought Romeo was on the football team, they can't have gone back to the house and they shouldn't be in the common room," I asked Levy and she couldn't see them either. " In fact where is Milliana, Lector and Sting?"
" Sting must have skipped practise as well," Cana suggested.
" Juvia thinks that Gray-sama and Juvia have the most perfect little family," Cana was trying to smother her laughter, as me and Levy giggled to ourselves, " Juvia decided to call her and Gray-sama's children Gray Junior and Marina," Juvia smiled.
Juvia did live in her own little bubble but what made it saddening was that she was so blind to Lyon's feelings towards her and how deep they were. I sometimes got the feeling Gray used Juvia's obsession with him to his advantage to get one over on his older brother but I also did think Gray did it unintentionally. The whole Gruvia vs Lyvia, was a widely discussed subject that even the school magazine well Levy did a poll on it. 49% voted for Gruvia and 51% voted for Lyvia. So it was that close but personally I didn't think Lyon had a chance.
We watched as the football game go on, me Levy and possibly Erza looked bored out of our minds while Cana just sat and drank. Juvia was cheering for Gray to score, to impress his twins and she also cheered for Lyon to. Juvia was now calling Lyon, " Uncle Lyon," so Lyon was basically possessing the ball and kept scoring every time Juvia cheered him on and Chelia Blendy was experiencing the green eyed monster. The cheerleaders also had a good practise and Mirajane was a excellent captain, no wonder why Minerva and her cronies also Jenny Realight wanted to be friends with her. I still can't believe that Mirajane is one of my friends, she is amazing and I think sometimes Lisanna felt inferior. I watched as Lisanna tried her best in practise but she couldn't do it as well as the others. When the game finally finished, I got up from the bleacher but my mind being elsewhere, somehow I fell onto the lower bleachers and I was literally rolling down to the bottom one and I was doing all I could to preserve the damn doll.
" LUCY!" Natsu yelled.
I closed my eyes waiting for a crash of some sort, but I landed on something and as I opened my eyes, I realised I had crashed on top of Rogue Cheney. How the hell did I do that? I then realised my boobs were in Rogue's face and I heard a little bit of laughter, from the football team and Natsu looked a little bit angry? I rubbed my eyes, I was seeing things.
" Oh no... I'm so sorry Rogue, curse my clumsiness," Rogue laughed at me and helped me up, he was smiling and he was basically laughing to himself.
" It's ok Lucy, at least your kid is fine! Speaking of which have you seen Yukino anywhere and Lucy do you fancy going on a date with me on Sunday?" I blushed. I realised that I had literally fallen onto the football field and now everyone was looking at me with amazement and worry. I looked at Nashi, she was still a pink haired grinning creep. She hadn't cried yet which was good.
" Yeah I'd love to go on a date with you on Sunday Rogue," I smiled and then I found Natsu crashing into my back.
" Luce that was AWESOME!" Natsu yelled. " You have to do that again! I can't believe you fell down that many rows of bleachers, how did you manage that you weirdo?" Gray hit him for me, then Jellal did, then Gajeel, then Loke did and then Laxus.
" Lucy are you okay?" Gray said as I wanted to go and crawl in a hole, the football team had me surrounded.
" Probably will have some bruises tomorrow but I'm good at least I think I am," I said. " Everyone still up for Nandos and Natsu where is Happy?" I asked then I noticed the damn cat had got a video of me falling down the bleachers on his AYE phone.
" Aye sir I'm up for Nandos!" Happy chorused then Natsu grinned.
" Who else is coming?" Laxus boomed.
" Well normally its me, Natsu, Michelle, Romeo, Wendy, Juvia, Elfman, Lisanna, Mirajane, Gray, Erza, Jellal, Loke and Levy but if you and Cana want to come thats fine with me, we'll just have to get two tables, and where is Romeo and Wendy?" None of the football team knew where Romeo was but Laxus agreed and then I received a text from Michelle saying Mirajane was going so was Freed and Warren.
" I'm coming as well, if the shrimp is going," Gajeel smirked.
As the football team walked over towards their lockers, I kept receiving stares from Flare and Erza glared at her, scaring Flare off. Levy, Juvia, Erza and Cana asked if I was alright and I nodded. I waited by the car park for Jellal and Natsu. I was not looking forward to this journey, Natsu has serious motion sickness and Jellal was a monster of a driver. And if Nashi or Erza's kid started crying, my head would probably explode.
As soon as Natsu set foot in the car, Natsu was knocked unconscious by Erza and I cowered in fear of my best friend. Jellal laughed at my reaction but I was literally terrified of Mother monster. Erza was beautiful though and one of the smartest people I knew, she was also a great fashion designer and she decided to make our prom dresses, well basically she told us she was making mine, Levy's, Mira's, Wendy's and Michelle's prom dresses. I didn't bothered to argue with her, she was a knight of fashion and she could basically create something beautiful in a minute.
As Natsu started to come round, we were already in Magnolia Town and outside of the Blue Pegasus shopping mall. I realised at that point the world had crazy, the trimens and their partners had been shopping for clothes for the doll. By the look of Sherry's and Ren's doll it was wearing gucci gear. I shook my head, but the trimens and Loke looked like they were having the time of their lives. Aries on the other hand looked like she was uncomfortable.
" I-I'm sorry Loke, I don't feel comfortable with dressing the doll up like this," Aries stuttered while Loke laughed and came rushing over towards us and Aries ran behind carrying the child.
" Ready for Nandos?" Loke asked and we nodded. Natsu was still woozy and he looked like he was spinning, I passed him Nashi and held him up as Jellal got to the other side of him and we basically dragged him their, where he soon perked up and the smell.
We spotted our group plus the Thunder God Tribe and Cana joining us. I grinned, everything seemed to be going to plan, none of the babies were crying and once we finally got in we basically had a massive table to ourselves, Romeo and Wendy finally showed up and they looked terrified and they finally revealed their kid who had a massive scar across it's neck and it seemed fairly obvious that someone glued it back together
" Charle couldn't take the constant crying," Wendy was nearly in floods of tears herself and Romeo put an arm around her, then Erza's monster was set off and Erza had the shock of her life, she threw the kid up in the air and Jellal caught it. That set off Gray and Juvia's twins, then Bickslow had a heart attack while his kid screamed but Lisanna calmed them all down.
" Lisanna you are a genius!" I spoke.
" I need to get an A on this class! I want to be a primary school teacher so I need to show I can look after babies," Lisanna smiled while Mirajane was asking for tips. Freed was left holding the devil spawn and Nashi was still grinning.
The waiter finally came around and let us order food, Natsu of course went for the spiciest thing going, and knowing him he probably had tobasco hidden somewhere. We were sitting next to Gajeel and Levy, where Gajeel now had christened me bunny girl because apparently I looked like a bunny because I looked frightened and defenceless with the children. I looked over to Michelle and Warren, they seemed to really have hit off. Loke was flirting with anything that had two legs and Aries looked like she wanted to die.
I left Nashi in the care of Natsu and Happy while I went to the toilet, Juvia, Cana and Mira. Juvia showed me her phone and it basically revealed that Lyon wanted to date her and he wanted to meet up at Lamia Scale Shores and he wanted the twins left with Gray.
" What do you think he means by Juvia meeting him at the beach? Juvia is awfully confused," The three of us face palmed.
" Juvia he wants to date you," I responded.
" No! No! No! Juvia can't date Lyon-san, Juvia's heart belongs to Gray-sama love rival," Juvia replied angrily.
" I'm not your love rival, I don't like Gray in that way," I waved my arms desperately.
" No she likes Natsu!" Mira clapped.
" Mira he doesn't Natsu has the mental age of a seven year old, besides I want someone sophisticated and after all we are to different he's on the football team so he is popular, I'm in the writing club," I said then I realised I contradicted myself.
" Well I'm captain of the cheerleaders and I'm your friend," Mirajane said hotly and I tried to defend myself.
"Natsu has shown no interest in girls and he basically didn't understand when Lisanna tried to get him to marry her, he is a pink haired dense idiot!" I shook my head.
" He only shows interest when it has anything to do with you though and he trusts you more, even though he has been friends with me, Lisanna and Mira far longer than you Lucy," Cana grinned. I realised this was useless defending myself then I remembered my date with Rogue.
" Well even Natsu did like me, why won't he come out and say it? We are just best friends you three and after all I've got a date with Rogue Cheney on Sunday, so I'd appreciate you both shutting up," I said silencing Cana, Mira and Juvia.
" Lucy you can't date Rogue, he is in team Sabretooth with Minerva and her cronies," Mira complained.
It had been a well known fact that Natsu's Father Igneel and sometimes our coach ran Fairy Tail record company which Coach, Gajeel's father Metallicana and Igneel started when they went to this boarding school and it represented Gildarts and while Rogue's and Sting's ran Sabretooth Record Company. Sabretooth was no where near popular as Fairy Tail but it held rivalry between Sting, Rogue & Natsu, Gajeel.
Now I couldn't get this out of my mind, as I sat down next to Levy and Natsu I tucked into my food. Then I immediately spat it out.
" Natsu! WHY DID YOU PUT EXTRA HOT SPICY SAUCE ON MY FOOD? YOU DENSE IDIOT!" I screeched as I drowned my coke and my whole mouth was on fire. How could Natsu live with this stuff daily?
" Nashi will never learn table manners," Gajeel commented and now I was furious. But it was true both me and Natsu lived like pigs. When Michelle, Gray and Wendy found us pigging out once, Gray called us fat bastards causing Natsu and him to get into a fight.
" Says the man who can't live without eating iron," Levy remarked.
Before Gajeel could react, Cana was dancing on the next table and giving Laxus a strip tease, this was the weirdest sight of my life especially with the guy having a plastic doll in his arms. What the hell is going on with my friends? My eyes popped out of my head. Gajeel, Jellal, Gray and Bixlow couldn't keep their eyes off her.
" There I'll take on any dare, any time and any place," Cana laughed. Then we were kicked out, at least we didn't have to pay. After a long car ride home, which involved stopping for Natsu being sick more than a couple of times. I was ready to murder baby Nashi but I let Happy take the doll off me. Until we got home.
Me and Michelle had our own house near campus which we let out some rooms to our friends, the dormitories were awful and Michelle refused to go into the shower rooms. So she we decided to get a house and we shared it with Levy, Wendy, Erza and Juvia. The Strauss's lived next door to us in their mansion.
As I tucked Nashi up into a fake crib we were given, I had the shock of my life when I saw the window being opened. If it was Damn Straight, I was going to call the police for sexual harassment. Oh Mavis, what if it was a rapist? I looked around my room for a weapon. It was okay, I had Erza in the next room.
" ERZA!" I screeched. " There is a rapist Erza help me I'm going to die! Damn Straight is going to rape me! ERZA!"
I watched the figure climb through my window and I was having a panic attack. Oh God! Where the fuck was Erza? She was my hero! When I last got attacked by Damn Straight, she sent him flying. Natsu, Gray and Loke didn't bother to help me at all. I was especially pissed with Loke, he keeps going on about how he would always be there. My knight in shining armour but no Erza is the true knight!
" Relax Luce! It's just me Natsu, I was coming to see if you needed help with Nashi!" He grinned.
" Why can't you use the door and if you dare take my bed again Natsu!" I yelled.
Erza finally came through the door and she was wearing sexy lingerie. Jellal was behind her in boxers with cheesecake on them, she ran towards Natsu and knocked him onto my bed. I must have interrupted sexy time between Erza and Jellal... Oh Mavis, I'm going to die especially when Jellal had a serious face and he was holding a lamp. Now he was bright scarlet.
" WAIT! I thought you said it was damn straight?" Erza spoke.
" I thought it was to.. I'm sorry Erza and Jellal but when did you two become a couple?" I tried to change the subject then they both shut the door, obviously not wanting to go into that subject. I realised that Natsu was terrified. " I'm sorry Natsu!"
" Luce that was the most terrifying experience of my life," Natsu looked like he was having a heart attack then he lay on the bed.
" Fine you can stay tonight, but you are getting up if Nashi cries!" I spoke snuggling into bed. " What the hell are you doing idiot?" Natsu put an arm around me and he was asleep.
" I love you Luce!" What did he just say?
A/N I know perfectly well Damn Straight real name is Dan Straight its just I've christened him Damn Straight now ^.^ I hate the character personally because he kind of weakened Lucy's character and there was no Nalu moments because of it. Mashima made Lucy look weak and helpless.
DAMN YOU MASHIMA I wanted Natsu to go all dragon slayer on damn straights ass but no Erza steps in to protect Lucy from the pervert! Natsu where is your sense of pride? Gray could you not done something? And Loke where the fuck were you? WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU LOKE? Seriously I nearly jumped from my Nalu ship at the end of season 1 for Lolu. *Dark times*
Jumping ship to Erza and Lucy now yuri for the win :)
Mira: You can't you like Nalu to much ;D
Me: I know :( but damn you Straight this is all your fault for being a pervert and nearly stabbing Romeo trying to kill off Rowen before my ship has had any moments FUCK U DAMN STRAIGHT! -.- Now my secondary Lucy pairing is Erlu. Loke and Gray don't earn the right they didn't protect Lucy from the pervert with the sharp pointy sword -.- I only forgive Natsu since the shooting star episode melted my fangirl heart :'D Ok I'm getting off topic here just skip past this nonsensical authors note. All you have learnt here is I'm never gonna call Damn Straight by his real name :D
