Author's Note: I'm glad that there have been some response. Also I'm happy that you follow the flow of my story. After watching Fairy Tail a couple of times I've been motivate to write something; a kind of story that portraits Lucy and Lissana could be a possible rival in love. After noticing some possible hints I came up with this story. But to be honest with you this story is just a trial and there is a big possibility that I might trash it. So basically the life of this story depends in my reader and my mood. Anyway thanks for the reviews.
Giving up is never in a fairy tail's mind set that's why Lucy will not give up. Even though she lack in the cooking category that doesn't mean she's no good. There could be something she's good at. Yes, like lady like charm.
"Since when I was brought up I've been taught about being a lady so there is no way I could fail in this category," Lucy said proudly to herself. "No way I could…fail, huh."
(Author's Note: This is a short flashback in episode 127.)
"I think she could be a little bit nicer to us," Happy said as he munched his fish. "That kind of behaviour is the reason why she can never be able to snag a boyfriend."
"He's got her number there," Wakaba agreed as he laughs.
"Or even she got a boyfriend," Max added. "I bet he'd run away first chance he got."
"She was born a 'lady' outside, but she's a barbarian on the inside," Wakaba pointed out.
"Mmmh.. Only a man who was truly wild could be a match for her," Elfman nodded.
"Lucy should learn a little from Shadow Gear's Levy," Doroy suggested.
"She should act more like a lady," Jet proudly said.
Looking at herself in the mirror she can't help but think about the comments of her guild mates. Even though they are meant to be jokes, a joke is half truth and half lies. So there could be a possibility that what they said is true.
"What they say doesn't matter," Lucy reassured herself. "What matter is what he thinks about you."
Feeling a lot better she fixed herself looking more ladylike as possible. Natsu and Happy agreed that they will help in her shopping today. She reasoned that they are the one who always leave her pantry empty after all. Now is her chance.
"Now, remember Lucy," she looked at her reflection sternly. "Be ladylike."
During their shopping trip, Lucy tried her very best to be like a lady as possible. All her knowledge that she learned since she was small was put to used. Everything is going smoothly until they finished the shopping trip. Lucy is quite satisfied with the result. Her hard work is being paid off.
The next day
Lucy is happily walking towards the guild until she notice Natsu, Lissana, Happy, Mira and Elfman working on the fields. (Author's Note: This part is in episode 128.)
"Lucy had been acting weird yesterday," Happy informed as he plowed the soil.
"Yeah, it's like she's not herself," Natsu added. "It was so weird."
"Weird?" Lissana asked. "What kind of weird?"
"Hmmm… Like she's acting more girly like you or Mira, that it's so weird," Natsu answered with a thought. "Not that your weird; it's just that it suits you better being girly and all."
Lucy could tell how flattered Lissana is after hearing those words. Silently, Lucy entered the guild trying to register what she just heard.
'So I'm not good in this category either,' Lucy thought as she sat. 'How stupid, of course I will look weird to him. How stupid, putting my hopes up.'
The little crack slowly grow bigger.
Author's Note: Okay, this chapter is crappy. You might be thinking that the progress of the story only focus in Lissana. Like I said I'm putting her as the top list rival but of course there will be others as well but mainly Lissana. So far so good? Or not? Just tell me there might be something I can do about it. Sorry about the errors by the way.
