By random notice, I have decided to include what happened with certain people on that summer day. Today's stars are Team Shadow Gear [Levy, Jet, and Droy] and Gajeel. Read on.
Disclaimer: GoldenPiggy does not own Fairy Tail. Contrary to popular belief, this is a good thing.
Summary: Levy asks a question, and Jet and Droy deny anything happened. Gajeel says otherwise.
It was a beautiful day in Magnolia, the birds were chirping, the sun was out, and Alzack and Bisca were nowhere to be found. Fairy Tail's Pool was filled, with Cana, Macao, and Wakaba taking about a fifth of it for themselves.
Makarov was spying on all the bikini-clad ladies, and people were getting shocked by stray electricity (which Laxus had nothing to do with). Mirajane was at the Lifeguard Station, for obvious reason, and certain people from Team Natsu were nowhere to be found.
Unfortunately or fortunately, today's focus does not focus on all the scantily clad women, or the Laxus-obsessed Freed. No, the focus for today was sitting by the poolside, sunbathing and holding a book, while looking at her two teammates.
"Ahem." She cleared her throat, catching the attention of her two teammates. Jet and Droy looked at her.
"Yes Levy-chan?"
"Ummm, well… what happened?"
"Nothing happened." Both said, turned to look at eachother after, and quickly looked away.
"Aahuh… You know, I think i'm going to go back and check up on Lu-chan and the others…"
"NO!" Levy jumped, surprised by their reaction. "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HIM!"
Chuckling awkwardly, Levy put down her book and made a move to get up. Only to have her two teammates hold her back down.
"Jet! Droy! Let me go!"
"No way!" They said, in sync yet again.
Levy sighed. "I won't go if you two tell me what happened!"
"But Levy-chan!-"
"No Droy, if you two don't tell me what happened - and I know something did - i'm going!"
Jet and Droy looked at each other, secretly trying to communicate like women do with their eyes. They both knew Levy was serious, but they also knew what had happened should not ever be repeated. They really were lucky that Levy was the only one there at the time, and she was too busy reading to be paying attention.
They sighed again, a look of defeat on both their faces. Levy knew she shouldn't take pride in the fact that she had won, against her friends no less, but she couldn't help it. She loved Jet and Droy (as any teammate should), and wanted to know what the problem was so she could help.
"Alright Levy-"
"Droy no!"
"But Jet-"
"We promised never to speak of it again!"
"Yeah, but-"
"NO!"
"Fine… i'm sorry Levy-chan, but this is for your own good."
Levy hmped and got up. Jet and Droy were helpless to stop her, and they wallowed in self-pity and sorrow.
Only when she rounded a corner did she notice the shadow that had been following her. Levy turned, and gasped at who she saw standing there.
"What do you want?"
The figure smirked, "Well, I heard you want to know what's going on with the idiots, right shrimp?"
Levy narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, but that doesn't explain what you're doing here."
"How about we sit down shrimp, and i'll tell you a story."
Levy frowned, but she knew her curiosity had won long before her inner battle had begun. "Alright."
The figure grinned, red eyes reflecting light. They grabbed Levy's hand, and dragged her to a nearby bench.
"Well, it all started when…"
Some time ago…
It was midday, many people were in the pool, but that wasn't important. What was important was what was happening in front of an unsuspecting blue haired mage. She was reading, unaware of the outside world, so it was obvious she wouldn't notice.
Jet and Droy had gotten in a fight, about what, the anonymous onlooker didn't know. Anyways, the two had gotten into a fight, and with them fighting, had accidentally gotten themselves hit into the pool.
They continued their fight, knocking into a bunch of people, and unknowingly made their way to the fifth of the pool that was uninhabited, save for a select three (plus one).
Once there, the Speedy idiot had punched the Plant idiot, and the Plant idiot was hurled back. He crashed into something, and that something just so happened to be one Cana Alberona's favorite alcohol barrel.
To say Cana was mad was an understatement, and the two left the pool sporting multiple bruises. They may or may not have had blood drawn, the onlooker wasn't paying that much attention.
When they had gotten back to the area near Levy, the two idiots were about to sit down, when a completely totally inconspicuous card flew by, and hit the Plant idiot in the back of the head. This caused the Plant idiot to fall forwards, and onto the Speedy idiot.
They were lucky enough that no one else was paying attention to them, not even the onlooker, who had gone back to looking at the object of their attraction. The noise made when they fell, unfortunately, had brought the onlooker's attention back to them. Said onlooker stared for about three seconds, and promptly burst out laughing.
There they were, on the floor in front of Levy, lip locking. They were so stunned, it took them about a minute to understand just what had happened, and they broke apart, sputtering and hacking. The onlooker sympathised with them. If he had to kiss one of them, he would be gagging himself too.
The onlooker continued laughing. Jet and Droy (I mean Speedy and Plant), had finally collected themselves, said something the onlooker couldn't hear, and sat on opposite sides of Levy, refusing to look at eachother. It was at that point in time that Levy finally looked up from her book, and questioned the two.
When they wouldn't answer, Levy walked off, and the onlooker followed her, wanting to share what she had missed.
"...and that's what happened."
Levy looked at the man who she was talking to. The story was probably accurate, both Jet and Droy were covered in bruises, and them kissing would explain their odd behavior.
"Hmmmmmm."
"What're you 'hmmmm'ing about, shrimp?"
"Nothing… no. I actually have a question."
"Which is…?"
Levy narrowed her eyes again, a frown working its way onto her face.
"Why were you spying on me, Gejeel?"
The man, now revealed to be Gajeel Redfox, grunted.
"No reason. I was bored is all."
Levy smiled. "Suuuuure."
Gajeel choked, and Levy got up. She paused. "Thanks for the story, Gajeel." Then she walked away to go get Lucy.
Jet and Droy sat together, they had just bid Juvia goodbye. She had come to talk to them in the period after Levy had left.
Suddenly, the two felt chills run down their spines.
Jet looked at Droy. Droy looked at Jet.
"You feel like something bad is going to happen, Jet?"
"No, I feel like something bad has already happened, Droy."
The two sighed, knowing they could probably do nothing about it. A sudden crash caught their attention, and the two looked at the now stumbling, red face Gajeel Redfox. They shrugged. Whatever had happened to him had nothing to do with them.
