Chapter 3: Attraction Contest & Laxus's Partner?!

"Ya know Lu-chan, Laxus has been flirting you for the past few days. Is there something going on between the two of you?" Levy whispered to her with an evil smirk and wiggled her eyebrows.

"N-no! Nothing is going on between me and that pervert!" She whispered back with a blush on her cheeks.

"Hehe, whatever you say Lu-chan."

The blond groaned and covered one of her hands to her face.

Macao sensei made an announcement, "As you know, every year the Hanami Festival is always different each year. This year is going to be special. Our principal has decided to have an Attraction Contest."

"An Attraction Contest? What's that?" Gray asked.

"An Attraction Contest is to show off whatever attraction you guys want to do like singing, doing dramas, a dance group, anything you can think of. You can also team up with any of your classmates."

"What's in it for us then? What do we win out of it?" Natsu asked and everyone else in the class nodded with curiosity.

"Well, the class representatives who win the contest, the whole class will get tickets to a ski resort in Canada complete with transportation and hotel." (A/N: random idea for the prize.)

"You're serious? I am going to join this contest and win those tickets!" Natsu pumping his fist to the air and hearing the roars of cheering from the others.

"Ok, ok settle down! I'm going to explain which days would be the Attraction Contest will be and how you guys will have to juggle between doing the café and doing the contest. The Attraction Contest will only be held on the first day and yes, you will also have to work on the café as well. The contest will take alternate times so you will have to pick a time slot for what time you are going to perform. Those who aren't performing will stay in the café. You will have breaks along the way so you can walk around and see the other class's attractions."

"Macao sensei, what if someone wanted to leave and slack off? How will we know who's taking longer breaks then the others?" Erza made a good question and some of them agreed with her.

"You, Laxus and the rest of the Class Representatives will handle the timing schedule for breaks, will that be alright for all of you?" The students all nodded at the idea.

"Now back to what I was saying, while all of you are performing, the audiences and visitors will be voting which is the best attraction and after all of it is done, our principal will announce the winning attraction and will give you a letter with your prize inside."

The class were whistling and cheering, everyone wants to win the prize.

"On the second day, you guys will have to continue working in the café and you will also same as the first day, you will be allowed breaks and look around other classes. By evening at 6, everyone has to be in the fields and there will be a social dance for all of you to participate."

"Wait! Since when was there a social dance? The last festival we did didn't have one!" Natsu was standing up in his sit, the other guys were groaning while the girls are squealing.

"I told you every year is different, this year Makarov and the teachers including myself, decided to add a social dance and that's final. You don't need to wear anything formal, just enjoy yourselves. Besides, don't you have someone you want to be close with? It can be romantic as well." Macao sensei smirked at them.

"Che…" Natsu sat back to his sit with his arms crossed.

"Ok now I've finish telling you guys the arrangement for the Hanami Festival I will give you guys an estimated budget for the ingredients for the food and drinks you guys want to make and to decorate the classroom. Oh one more thing, please submit your ideas for the attraction and we will tell you what attractions are accepted for the contest."

Right after Macao stopped talking, everyone was already in clusters and talking about the café and the contest prize.

"Are you guys going to do anything for the Attraction Contest?" Lucy asked her group of friends.

"I'm definitely going to join the contest! It has gotten me fired up!" Natsu said with a toothy grin.

"I agree with flame-head here, I want to win those tickets."

"Who are you calling flame-head you popsicle-stick!"

"You fire-breathe!"

"Droopy eyes!"

"That's enough!" Erza glared at them. They cringed back in fear, "A-aye sir!"

Levy giggled at their antics. "What about you and Er-chan? I don't think I want to perform, I have stage fright."

"Same here Levy-chan I think I would rather watch the performance." Lucy placed a finger on her chin.

"Hmm, I'm planning on joining actually, it's nice to have competition with other classes to see who's the best." Erza nodded to herself.

"So what are you guys going to do then?" Levy asked them.

"Not so sure but whatever they decide I will join in." Both Natsu and Gray nodded in agreement with Erza's plan.

Sometime later, there were a couple of ideas given to Macao sensei. Laki stepped forward and asked the class what type of food they were going to add for the café and wrote it down on her notepad. (A/N: Laki is the class monitor.)

Since the Student Council are involved with the festival activities, they will be busy and sometimes will not be able to help with the preparations. However they will be having a partner in their class to help them out. Macao sensei choose Laxus to partner up with Lucy and Erza was partner up with Jellal.

"What! Why do I have to help Laxus with the reports and other school activities that he has to do? Sensei can't you find someone else reliable?" Lucy was panicking and she didn't want to be partnered up with Laxus, who knows what he'll do to her!

"I'm sorry Lucy but that is my final decision. Besides I think you're reliable. We need someone to keep him down from getting any trouble and since your new here, Laxus can take you around the school and show you more places, its killing two birds with one stone." Macao smiled at her.

Laxus growled at him and turned to look at Lucy, smirking at her. "Well, looks like we will be together for the next two weeks, I'm loving this already."

Lucy groaned, 'This is so unfair! I'd rather be paired up with Erza!'

They started discussing about the cosplay outfits next. Since the guys wanted the girls to wear revealing outfits and they started drooling thinking about it. It was disrupted by Erza glaring at them with a dark aura coming out from her. They inched away from her with fear in their eyes. After much debating, they decided that the girls will be dressing in cheongsam outfits (A/N: Chinese dresses that are worn during Chinese New Year.) while the guys will be dressing as butlers.

By the end of the day, the students were excited for the festival to arrive. They were looking forward to both making this year's festival the best in Fairy Tail and getting the prize.

When Lucy reached the train station, she didn't realise that Laxus was behind her.

He closed in on her and whispered in her ear, "Hey partner."

Lucy shrieked, she covered her ear and turned around.

"Laxus! What the hell was that for?" She glared at him with pink painted on her cheeks.

"Heh, just taking a train ride home. What else do you think I was here for? Stalking you?" Smirking diabolically at her.

"Y-yeah right! I don't want a pervert like you stalking me!"

"I'm sure you're happy if I did blondie." That smirk never leaving his face.

"S-shut up that's not true!"

"Haha! You are really funny you know that? Well see ya later." He waved and walked away.

"P-pervert…" She whispered to herself still covering her ear. Her face is still red from what Laxus had done. She heard the speaker announcing that the train arrived and she went aboard. Then she realise something, he called her blondie and she didn't even tell him off.

'I'm going to get back at him one of these days…'


Yay it's done! Ok I know there is no progress with this chapter, it's stupidly long-winded and I could've cut this short somewhere but I didn't know where to cut it… I'm sorry if there's still no Lalu fluff that you guys are expecting to have but on the next chapter there will be more Laxus appearing in the story! Lucy will be following Laxus around since she doesn't have a choice so I can guarantee that they will be together more often!

Sorry for all the mistakes I did and I hope you at least enjoy this chapter. I'll see you guys in the next chapter!
