We reach Cana's house. "Everybody wait outside while I get the bandannas and socks. Juvia, come with me," Cana states as I follow her inside.
Her house was beautiful, full of flowers and paintings. "Cana? You're home so soon?" a deep voice came from the kitchen.
"Yea dad, just not for long. Getting ready to play humans vs. zombies. My friend Juvia is going to help me!" she shouted to the other room.
"Ok!"
"Your dad seems nice," I say without thinking.
"He is nice. I'm glad he's my dad." Cana sighed as she opened one of her drawers. It was full of bandannas and socks full of flour. "What color do you want?" she asks me.
"Baby blue please," I answer. She gave me two baby blue flour socks and a bandanna. Cana put the rest in a shoe box. We started to leave when Cana suddenly stopped.
"I'm leaving without a hug." She sighed and ran to the kitchen. When I walked in, she was hugging her father compassionately. I couldn't help but smile. "Okay, dad I'm going to the park for humans vs. zombies."
"Okay sweetheart." He smiled.
Then we left. Everyone was sitting on the hot concrete outside waiting. Cana started passing out the colors. Gajeel got black, Loke got orange, Levy got purple, Lucy got pink, Natsu got red, and Gray got dark blue. Cana saved the yellow for herself.
"Cana, can you explain the game once we get there? It's been so long since I've played." Lucy shrugged.
"I was going to anyway. Remember, we have a newbie," Cana says, taking the lead.
The park was huge, including three playgrounds, a parking lot, a tree house, and a tennis court. We stand in the middle of the field.
"Everyone tie your bandanna on your wrist. It indicates you're human. If you die, tie it around your head. I gave Levy a different color than the one she is wearing on purpose. The object of the game is to not get tagged. Spawn is in the bathrooms. If you die, go to the spawn for two minutes, then you can attack. Zombies don't get socks, and you kill a zombie with a sock. Now who wants to be zombie first?" Cana explains and asks. Gajeel raises his hand. "Okay. Gajeel will have to wait at the bathrooms for four minutes. GO!" Cana blows her whistle, and we bolt.
I subconsciously follow Levy, as she seems she would have more strategy. Levy climbed up a ladder of a fort and I followed. "Juvia! I didn't even notice you were behind me!" she exclaimed.
"I'm quiet, like water."
"Looks like Gajeel's on the move." Levy sighs. I could see her blushing.
"Why are you blushing?" I ask. She starts to look embarrassed.
"No reason. Looks like Gajeel has set his sights on our fort. Be prepared." Levy commands as I take guard of the ladder. Levy took guard behind me.
"Ksk, ksk, ksk."
"Uh...Levy what's that noise?" I ask as I turn around. He lightly touches Levy's back. She turns around, surprised.
"Out," he says.
"Juvia, run." I jump to the ground and take for the field. Gajeel's running after me. I'm terrified for my life, but don't know why. It's just a game. Then, I trip onto the playground, left to lay there like bait.
"Out," another voice says as Gajeel unfortunately walks to the spawn. An orange wrist helps me up.
"Thanks Loke," I say, brushing off the wood chips.
"I'm going to guess Levy is dead." He sighs as we get on top of the monkey bars.
"What happens of we fall?" I ask dangling my legs in the air.
"We fall," he mumbles. Loke starts to climb down. "Levy is near. We have to move." He grabs my hand as I jump down.
"Where to?" I ask.
"We find Gray or Cana," he answers. Loke's fluffy hair sways in the wind. After walking for a few minutes, we found neither, but did find a very pissed off Natsu.
"Lisanna what are you even doing here! You didn't want to be our friend anymore and left. You went to boarding school and became a total bitch!" Natsu yelled.
"You think I left because of everyone else? I left because of you! You ugly-ass-piece-of-shit!" she yelled back.
"Lisanna. Just leave." Loke stepped in.
"Um, this is an A-B convo, so why don't you C your way out of it," she sassed back.
"Don't talk to my friends like that!" I step in. Her mischievous smile faded away.
"Is this my replacement? You've replaced me that fast?!" she shouted, obviously offended.
"Juvia moved in today actually. And no one could replace a two-timing bitch like you. That spot has been burned for good," Natsu fought back.
"Lisanna, leave," Loke commands.
"Psh. Whatever. Burn in hell," she says and walks away. Everyone has surrounded us. All with their bandannas on their heads.
"I can't believe you dated her." Gray sighs. I was surprised. I could never see Natsu dating a girl like her.
"Um...Loke..." I start to stammer.
"What god dammit!" he yells.
"They're all infected!" I shout as I start to run. I hold my socks tight, ready to fire. Gray started to catch up to me. I throw one and hit him square in the face. "Sorry!" I shout. He throws the sock back. Then he unwillingly walks back to the spawn. Gray was currently shirtless. He also wore black jeans.
Someone slams their hand on my back. I turn around. It was Lucy.
"Out!" she yells, thust the game was over. Cana pats me on the back.
"You were pretty good for a newbie," she says. I chuckle at my accomplishment. The sun starts to set, and Gray started to walk me home.
"Hey, why are you walking me home?" I ask.
"I live on your street." He shrugs. Omg, the hottest boy ever lives on my street! Eeek!
