I don't own Fairy Tail, only Alice and Iris. Sorry lots of dialog in this chapter. And it's really short.
LEVY
"So what are we doing exactly?" Alice asked as we headed for the training ground deep in the woods behind the mansion.
"Well we're going to find out what kind of mage you are." I answered. Alice sighed.
"I still think you guys got the wrong gal." She muttered as she shoved her hands into her pockets. I looked her outfit over. She wore her pink hair in two small pigtails held up by childish hair bows, her shirt was a tight tank top, black jeans that disappeared into tightly laced combat boots, and brown fingerless gloves.
"Why do you think that?" I asked.
"Because I'm pretty sure I've never shown an ounce of magic. I don't think that even the Quill of Acceptance would take me." She replied.
"What?" I was caught off guard and a little confused.
"Sorry, Harry Potter reference." Alice muttered looking away as if she was embarrassed.
"Another one of your manga series?" I inquired.
"Close enough." She answered as we reached the training ground where everyone else already was. Alice looked around an unknown emotion shining in her eyes.
"Good you're finally here." Mavis commented from behind us. Alice jumped almost a foot in the air before whirling around, her fists clenched.
"Yeah." She muttered relaxing a bit. "Finally here." She continued apparently getting lost in thought. She shook her head as if riding it of cobwebs. Natsu seemed to think this was the perfect time to attack. Alice turned at the last second, stumbling back a few steps, as she threw up her arm. A wall of crystal rose from the ground which Natsu bounced off of. "Well that certainly wasn't cannon." Alice grumbled peering around the crystal wall to look at Iris. Iris scoffed.
"I certainly didn't do it, I don't exist remember." Iris informed Alice who rolled her eyes in response.
"One comment." She muttered. "But the more pressing matter, who did?" She continued her fingers out stretched outwards towards the crystal that had protected her from Natsu's fist full of fire. The crystal sunk back into the ground before she could touch it.
"What did you mean it wasn't cannon?" I asked her.
"Cannon is… Well a bit hard to explain without an example, but not cannon means not part of the actual story. To say the crystal wall isn't cannon is to say that no one in the FT world has that particular power, which is why I looked towards Iris." She said her answer coming out in pieces as if she was raking her brain for an explanation.
"So what's cannon to you?" Natsu asked sullenly from the ground obviously not happy with being knocked down by an inanimate object whose origins were denying it.
"GaLe." Alice answered without hesitation. "Well technically it's only implied cannon 'cause the author's said something about it, but hasn't made it official yet." Alice was rambling slightly which she must have realized because she quickly shut up.
"Who's Gale?" Luxus asked.
"Haru's dad off of Rave Master, but that's not the Gale I was talking about. The GaLe I was talking about is a what. It's a shipping name." Alice rapid fired talking surprisingly fast.
"Shipping name?" Gray questioned.
"Yeah, though it could also be referred to as a pairing name." Alice said with a thoughtful expression.
"A pairing is a couple isn't it?" Lucy inquired.
"You got it." Alice answered with a wide grin.
"So what pairing is GaLe?" Gajeel asked. Alice's eyes twinkled as if she found something funny.
"Sorry, but my lips are sealed." She informed him.
"Why? Do you not like GaLe?" Iris asked with a raised eyebrow.
Alice's jaw dropped. "Please tell me you're joking. GaLe is my otp. I've been rooting for the two of them to get together since the Fantasia arc." A hundred questions started flying at Alice. Most about what the Fantasia arc was, a few still about whoever GaLe was, and one about what an otp was.
"Read the manga. I'm saying nothing more on the subject." Was all Alice replied with.
"Why not?" Lisanna asked. Alice fixed her with a strange look. It was almost as if she was analyzing her. Seeing things that no normal person should have been able to see.
"I've got my reasons." Alice answered with a roll of her eyes as if she found nothing particularly interesting in Lisanna.
"What reasons? You already said you weren't bound by the no spoiler rule." Mira pointed out.
Alice pressed her lips into a firm line, but she seemed to be pondering Mira's question.
"I may not be bound by the Anti-spoiler rule, however if you lot plan on reading the manga I don't plan on spoiling anything." She finally answered after a moment's thought.
"So it's pretty much read the manga or never know what you're talking about?" Evergreen muttered.
"Pretty much." Alice replied.
