This is just a pure mischief story that I came up with while at work one day, being bored between Massages. And a probability of what could happen if Cana and MiraJane joined forces.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fairy Tail or the characters; those rightfully belong to Hiro Mashima. At least until I figure a way to brainwash the man and make them mine...(smiles at my four main men; Rogue, Max, Lahar, and Master Bob)

Cana shot a quick glance around the table assessing everyone's current mood, only to let a small smile curved her lips. They'd been playing poker for an hour, seven hands had been dealt with Lucy being the victor five times. The first loss had been to herself, the second to Erza.

The penalties had been simple and easy so far. Just to gauge everyone's reaction while they were still sober. Cana, herself had just requested each person remove an article of clothing. While on the other hand, how to perform various actions ranging from a duet by Natsu and Bixslow to slapstick comedy by Ever, Freed, and Lucy, while Laxus, Gray and herself did a duck duck goose game.

Lucy, on the other hand, kept things varied, making them tell something embarrassing about themselves to losing more articles of clothing on select people, to a dance routine. But it had not been anything too extreme yet since she only had two shot glasses were stacked in front of her. Looking rather pleased with how things were going while trying not to gloat too much since Laxus and his team had learned just how good Lucy's poker face was.

Giving a small shake of her head Cana looked down at the cards in her hand debating if she should fold or not.

"I fold and am out!"

Those words rang out in the silence causing Cana, as well as everyone present to look at Natsu, as he slammed his cards onto the table top. Tilting her head to the side catching his eyes in silent question, only to get a smile in return.

"I'm leaving with my dignity intact. Besides, I've learned when to fold and quit when playing with Luce. 'Sides it's about time one of us drops out." He replied his trademark grin on his face as he stood up.

Blinking a few times Cana just watched him as he walked to Lucy gave her a brief hug and told her to take it easy on everyone before making his way to the Guild doors. Stopping momentarily holding up his fingers in the peace sign and saying deuces before vanishing into the darkness.

It took a few minutes before the silence was broken by a polite cough. "Shall we continue everyone?" Mira Jane asked.

Various grunts in agreement were heard. So with a small laugh, Mira Jane called for them to either fold or show. Cana glanced at her cards again folding them and placing them face down on the table, before peaking at everyone else noting Gray and Ever had folded as well.

While there is Erza, Lucy, Freed and Bixslow were in a staring match each waiting to see who would cave and show their cards first. It was almost comedic to see them all glaring at each other. Finally, Freed side and laid his hand down revealing a pair of threes and a pair of sixes.

In quick succession Erza, Bixslow laid their cards on the table. Erza hand was 4 five's and a seven, Bixslow's had a straight as he frowned at Erza. A low chuckle came from Lucy as she laid her cards next showing another four of a kind, but hers was four 9's and a single 3. At that point, Cana and everyone turned to look at Laxus who was grinning smugly.

"Read them and weep," He said with a deep rumbling chuckle.

With that said he laid his cards on the table. As she saw them Cana felt as if her eyes were going to pop out of their sockets. There before Cana lay a straight flush in spades, 4 thru 8. Cana took a quick peek to her left see Lucy just sitting there angelically although it didn't quite reach her brown eyes.

"Well, I guess I am the winner. So, Mira Jane shots please and make them old Forester whiskey." Laxus crowed in his own self-adulation.

A small growl of frustration came from the other side of MiraJane that Cana quickly placed as Erza's. Rolling her eyes, Cana motion for everyone to give her their cards, as Mira Jane went to get the requested liquor. Once she had all the cards and everyone had slammed their shots, herself included. She sat there waiting for Laxus to dish out the penalties to the losers. The minutes taking by leaving an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach at the smile that slowly spread itself across Laxus's face.

With a chuckle that Cana knew that meant no good, Laxus spoke up. "Since Cana and Gray are exempt. Here's how it'll go, Erza a piece of clothing, same with Bixslow. Ever next loss you have to take a double shot of alcohol, but can't have a glass of water to chase. Freed you have to receive a lap dance from Blondie for two minutes."

Silence met his penalties as Cana darted her eyes around the table gauging everyone's reaction. She noted that ever was fine with drinking the double shot on her next loss without a chaser of water. As her eyes continued to move around the table landing first on Gray, who was glaring spitefully at Laxus, Erza was open mouth but already removing her shirt.

Next Cana what her gaze laid over to Bixslow who was also frowning as he removed his shirt (the second one). Before shifting her eyes to Freed. Who was looking utterly mortified at what Laxus had requested and was sitting completely still and blushing like an innocent virgin, as he stared at the table as if trying to will it to catch on fire?

Pressing her lips into a thin line, Cana finally looked at Lucy. Whose cheeks were an interesting shade of pink? Wondering if Laxus somehow overstepped his bounds because either party hadn't really reacted. Cana was about to tell him to retract it when Lucy stood up. Not having to look to know that all eyes were on the Celestial mage as she made her way to Freed. Stopping behind him reaching a pale slender hand out touching his shoulder gently, getting him to look at her as she silently asked if he'd be okay. Only to get a small nod of his head in reply.

Cana couldn't help the smile that spread across her face and how sweet and caring Lucy was. It was just too cute to see as Freed turned his chair so he faced her. Soon the sound of the thrumming base was heard, though slightly muted as Lucy began to sway, dip and grind to it never taking her eyes from Freed's.

As soon as the song stop Lucy backed away asking freed if he was all right (again), concern then relief shimmering in her eyes before Cana watched in amazement as Lucy leveled an Erza worthy death glare at Laxus, before coming to set in her seat. Cana could feel the dark aura that radiated off her friend, knowing she'd get her revenge.

30 Minutes Later

Giving a side glance to her right feeling very curious and on edge, Cana saw Lucy still smiling in a calm manner. Causing her mind to go in six directions while wondering why Lucy had not gotten her payback on Laxus. Four hands having been dealt since Laxus is when both Evergreen and Gray bowing out after having to remove another article of clothing each.

Furrowing her brows as she returned her gaze to her cards Cana chewed on her bottom lip. It was never a good thing when Lucy bided her time to take revenge, more so after winning two of the four hands. Meaning it would be epic and highly embarrassing what she'd eventually request of Laxus to be done.

"All right it's time to either fold 'em or show 'em." Came Mira Jane's cheery voice. Frowning at what she'd been dealt Cana folded them and set them face down before her before deciding to see what everyone else was doing. Only two still a bit shocked as both Erza and Bixslow did the same. Leaving Laxus, Freed and Lucy holding their cards still. Each with a confident gleam in their eyes or smile on their face.

"Well show your card you three." Erza barked rather softly.

A loud snort came from Laxus as he glared at Ezra. Showing he wasn't intimidated by her in the least. While Freed placed his fanned out cards on the table showing four 9's and an 8. A small smile playing at the edges of his lips to which she felt he had a right to be.

Again a loud snort came from Laxus as Cana turned her eyes to him feeling a frown turned her lips downward. Only to have her eyes go wide as he laid his cards out before crossing his arms over his chest smiling smugly because there before him was a straight flush of clubs.

There was a small gasp from Mira Jane and an unladylike curse from Erza. While Bixslow just gave a whistle. When a few seconds had passed Cana noted everyone was turning their gaze is to Lucy, so she too followed suit. To blink at the amused look on her face and completely serene demeanor she displayed. When a small grin spread across her face as she started placing her cards down one at a time until they were all placed on the table top. All Cana could do was stare open mouth at what she was seeing.

TBC!
