Lucky you, I updated earlier then expected. That's what happens when you have no life :p
AGHHH, short chapters, sorry. So... yeah... Not much to say about this... Um... Enjoy?
Lucy sighed as she stared at herself in the mirror. When Master invited visitors for dinner, which he did a lot, that meant everyone had to dress up. Wendy noticed the blonde girl staring at herself and approached her.
"Is something wrong, Lucy?" the small blue haired girl asked. Lucy pouted at her reflection. She was wearing a red dress with a 'V' neck, that did little to hide her cleavage. The dress went down to her ankles, and her hair was up in a bun, a few loose curls framing her face.
"No, it's nothing, don't worry Wendy. I'm just wondering who's coming to dinner. I have two reports to finish tonight and was counting on not having to go tonight. Now I'm not sure I'll have enough time," Lucy explained. Wendy's eyes widened slightly.
"That's a lot to do," she murmured. Wendy glanced at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a yellow and blue striped dress that went down to her knees, her long blue hair put up in ponytails. Lucy towered over Wendy, though Lucy was wearing flats. Wendy was only twelve, while Lucy was seventeen.
Juvia, another blue haired girl walked over to Lucy and Wendy. She said, "Juvia has a lot of work to do too."
The girls were already used to Juvia's strange talking habits, so they didn't comment. Juvia wore a dress like Lucy's, except it was blue. Juvia's hair was loose, down to her shoulders, each tendril brushing her shoulders.
Levy nodded from the other side of the room. She was sitting on her bed as she put on her black flats. Levy was as old as Lucy, but only a little taller then Wendy. Levy wore an orange dress that went down to her mid-thighs.
"I have a lot of work to do too, Proffesor Gildarts was really harsh today," Levy commented. There was a small knock on the door and they turned to see Erza.
"Time for dinner. You all look wonderful, by the way," she added.
The girls were in their dorm rooms, consisting of six beds. Erza stayed with them, but didn't need to get ready for the dinner, as she was already dressed in a simple black dress with spaggetti straps. Her red hair was up in a bun.
The other girl that shared the room, Cana, would not be coming to the dinner. They had long ago learned that she would always drink alcohal at events like these, embarresing Master.
In a separate part of the building was the boy's dorm. Gray, a dark haired boy, was currently finishing getting dressed.
From the corner came a snicker, "Don't loose that tie during dinner." It was well known that Gray often stripped without realizing it had happened more then you could count.
Gray whipped his head around to Gajeel, who sat in the corner, smirking. Gajeel was already dressed up, wearing a black suit, but his tie was loose.
"Shut up, iron brains," Gray growled.
"Why should I, ice princess?" Gajeel snapped. A small chuckle reverberated through the room.
Loke grinned at both of them, amusuement twinkiling in his hazel eyes. Loke looked like a delenquient with his loose red tie, hands in the pockets of his pants, suit hanging open, and his orange hair sticking up in spikes.
"Come on, guys. Think of better insults if your going to start throwing them."
Gajeel snorted at Loke's superior tone. "Keep your opinions to your self, kitty cat." Loke's eyes flashed in anger. Before he could growl out a response Natsu burst into laughter. He sat on his bed, only slightly dressed for the dinner. He wore black pants with a white long sleeve shirt, but his jacket and tie were nowhere near being put on.
He grinned with all of his cannines at the nickname. "Kitty cat? Where did that one come from, orangy?"
Loke, if possible, looked angrier. Gray grinned evily from behind him and said, "Well, it all started that faithful Sunday afternoon, when-," he was cut off by a swift punch to the face, given by Loke himself.
"Shut up, pervert," Loke growled. Gajeel snickered.
"Why you," Gray snarled. Natsu watched silently as Gray and Loke started throwing punches, luckily not taking out their wands just yet. Natsu was about to join in when the door blew open.
Proffessor Gildarts glared at the boys, his anger making the air itself curl.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked, deadly quiet. Usually Gildarts was pretty easy going but he had had to deal with more then one fight between these idiots today, and with Master pressuring him to keep the boys in line, it was a little too much to take in one day.
"Natsu," Gildarts snapped. Natsu gulped, suddenly feeling nervous. "Get dressed."
Natsu yelled, "Aye!" before hopping up and grabbing his jacket and tie he had thrown on the ground. He threw them on, ignoring the angry meow's he received from his blue cat, Happy, when he stepped on the cats tail.
"Fix your tie, Gajeel."
Gajeel scowled but reluctantly started tying it.
"Loke, brush your hair."
Loke just shrugged and did what was asked, seeming to have calmed down from the earlier fight.
"And Gray, for Dumbledore's sake, put your pants on!" he shouted.
Gray glanced down, his eyes widening in surprise as he finally noticed his missing pants.
Gildarts let out a low groan. This happens everytime, Gildarts thought grimly. How on earth do they even manage to dress themselves in the morning?
Later on they were all gathered around a long table. The visitors hadn't arrived yet, but Master sat at the end of the table. He was a small man, with graying hair and mustache. He wore a suit, except on top of his heart, a small fairy was stitched neatly on. It was the Masters most prided suit, and he only wore it when important people came. Two chairs on Masters left and one on the right were left empty for the guests when they arrived. Erza sat next to the empty chair, Gildarts next to the two.
On the table was an assortment of food, ranging from stew to casserole. It all lookes so mouthwatering that Natsu was having a hard time holding back from eating it. The only reason the food wasn't resting in his stomach was because a certain blonde and red head were tag team glaring at him, with silent threats.
Loke kept shooting Lucy seductive grins, making Natsu growl at him in irritation. Lucy tried to ease the glares between the two boys, with little luck. They were hell bent on having an intense, silent glare. Lucy let out an exasperated sigh and resolved to ignore them both.
Juvia kept staring at Gray with heart filled eyes, while Gray ignored her, staring straight ahead with a tense jaw. Jet and Droy were talking quietly with Levy, as they shot Gajeel dirty looks. Levy didn't notice the looks, and continued the conversation without pause. Gajeel was smirking at the two as he slowly moved closer to Levy, setting the boys teeth on edge. Levy though, was so animated about talking about a book that she still had failed to notice. So when she turned to Gajeel to ask him something, and to see him sitting so close to her, caused a small surprised yelp to escape her mouth Gajeel's smirk widened.
Erza watched over it all with a careful eye, making sure no fights started. They didn't need any more trouble, after the earlier fight. Gildarts was talking quietly with Master.
"They should be coming soon," Master murmured.
They sat in a large dining room, with chandeliers hanging above their heads. A small firplace was behind Master, the flames crackeling.
Gildarts frowned and ran a hand through his slicked back light brown hair. "Master, you never did say who was coming."
Master started fidgeting with the silverware placed in front of him.
"About that…" he muttured.
There was a small knock at the tall double doors. Master immediately stood and hurried over. The doors opened and three figures stood in the door way.
Two were girls, one on the left with long black hair with a white hairband in her hair, the other with long pink hair in a pony tail. In the middle of them was a man with blue hair and a red tattoo on the right side of his face. They all wore blue cloaks, clasped around their necks.
Silence echoed throughout the room as a staring contest seemed to occur. Natsu narrowed his eyes at the new intuders, unconsciously moving a little closer to Lucy. Gajeel scowled at the guests, while Erza eyed them warily. Levy shifted on her seat, studying each of them intensely.
Master suddenly interrupted the silence by clearing his throat.
"Welcome, Crime Sorciere."
Sorry. Not sure why I am apologizing, not at all. A little tired after writing this. I am sorry for this chapter being so short, my other stories were longer but... Ah they were just good places to stop *sigh*.
Anyway hope you liked, if you didn't I would like to know the exact reason.
Comment, suggestions, reviews? Yes, no, maybe so?
