I walked next to him, the sun beaming straight down on us. My mission was complete, I got that stupid dragon inside. All I had to do was survive this. We walked into campus, which was filled with coffee shops, cafes, shops, and fields for all different sports. The largest buildings were the school's, tall, wide, and made from marble. The grass was green, there was flowers of every color, there was even fountains around every corner.

What I probably loved most about it, was that everyone was able to enter campus. There was children running, elders sitting near the fountain, parents strolling with their newborns, it felt very…happy.

I smiled as I looked around. A little girl with black pigtails ran into Natsu. She bounced back and lost her balance. He didn't lift a finger. I gasped as the little girl started to fall backwards into one of the many water fountains. Quickly, I grabbed the child and managed to help her stand straight.

However, that meant I fell into the fountain.

It was freezing, and shallow, thank god. I sat up and spit out water from my mouth. The fountain's flaring water landed on my head, making my hair stick to me. Natsu started to roar with laughter as the young girl thanked me and ran away. I glared at Natsu through my hair. I got up and walked out of the fountain, and punched him in the arm. "What the actual fuck, Natsu?"

I crossed my arms as he continued to laugh. "She was a kid! You almost-"

He threw his black jacket to me, not taking his eyes off where my arms were crossed, over my breasts. I glared at him. "Why the hell would I want your jacket?"

He smirked. "Lets just say white things and water don't go well together."

I looked down and my face heated up quickly. I let out a yelp and quickly covered myself in his coat. "It wouldn't be like this if you had a fucking heart!"

"Woah kitty, watch where you scratch. There's kids here." Natsu smirked, slinging his arm around my shoulders. I tried to shrug it off. "Don't touch me."

"Now, that's not very nice Miss. Lucy. Especially because us boys were planning a party tonight to end this little rivalry." Natsu said slyly, winking at a group of girls as we passed. I rolled my eyes. "Why do I have a hard time believing that?"

He shrugged. "You believe what you want to believe, sweetheart. I'm just a little wounded, is all."

I gaped at him. "You? Wounded? Please, I went through a fountain because of you."

He sighed and closed his eyes, shaking his head disapprovingly. "You see, that's it. You're in college, Lucy. The time to be wild, fun, free. If you're too nice, you'll get walked all over, so you need to walk over others."

"That's bullshit." I spat, glaring at him in the corner of my eyes. "She was a little girl. There's nothing wrong with wanting to succeed in life, or being nice to others. Or are you to dense and shallow to actually believe that?"

He grinned and shrugged lazily. "I believe what I want to believe. It's best to be feared than laughed at, right?"

I didn't respond. I hoped he could feel the immense hatred that was radiating off me. As if he was reading my mind, he sighed. "What's the big deal anyway? She's fine."

"You've got to be fucking kidding me, Natsu." I snapped. "You can't just go around pushing people around! They're humans, you're a human, we're all the same!"

Natsu just smirked and yanked me closer to his chest. I growled at him when my nose slammed into his frustratingly hard chest. He glanced down at me. "Does that count as pushing people around?"

I pulled away from him and glared at him. "Go to hell, Dragoneel."

"You're wearing his jacket…." Mira stammered, her face glowing bright red.

"It could have a camera…somewhere." Erza mumbled, fumbling with the oversized black jacket. Levy rolled her eyes as she sat up in her bed. "So Lu…how did you get his jacket?"

I slipped it off and gave it to the two girls who were looking at it confusingly. Mira snatched it from my grasp as Erza examined it more closely. I returned my glance back to Levy. "Simple. He's a jerk. Pushed a little girl into a fountain-"

"And you saved her, right? Made you fall in while she stayed dry?" Levy said, her eyebrow twitching in aggravation. My jaw dropped. "How did you-"

"Gajeel did that to her on her way to Science last year." Erza explained, peering through one of the jacket's arms. She looked at me. "They do it to all of us. They see who's the most vulnerable that way. Easier prey."

My stomach dropped. "W-what?"

Mira nodded. "Yeah, sick right? They see who's the biggest sucker for vulnerable things just for their own…pleasurement."

My stomach started to turn with rage as I abruptly shot up. "He played me?"

Levy nodded slowly, as if she and the others could sense the boiling rage that swarmed around me. My fists balled. "I was supposed to be playing him, dammit!"

Mira placed a hand on my shoulder. "Well, let's just calm down for a second, okay? Lucy, did Natsu say anything when you two were out?"

"Sure, he said something about a party." I said, shrugging. Erza nodded, dropping the jacket for a second. "Yes, it's the Dragon's famous Eclipse party. They have one every Eclipse. They invite everyone from every college."

The four sat in silence. Erza coughed nervously. "Of course, we've never been to one-"

"What?!" I yelled. "You've never been to any of their parties? Why the hell not?"

"We're enemies." Mira deadpanned. I smacked my forehead. "You guys…their parties are their weakness."

I looked at Erza, who was studying me closely. "What do you mean, Lucy?"

"It's the perfect opportunity to snoop around their house, that's what I mean." I sighed.

The once silent three girl's faces slowly dropped with realization. Erza started to twitch violently. "The ways into their domain…were right there this whole time?"

Mira shook her head. "No. Their parties are outside only. Hence, why we've never been in-"

"We could seduce them."

We looked at Levy, horror plastered on our faces. "H-huh?!"

Mira looked down at the floor in embarrassment. "S-she's right. We've got the one thing the guy's want."

"Woah, woah, woah!" I stammered, my face becoming like an incinerator. "That's not what I meant at all!"

Erza glanced away, annoyance spreading on her face. "Damnit. They're right Lucy. We need a way in and that's the one way in."

I rapidly looked at the three girls. They all looked confused at my stricken expression.

"What's the matter, Lucy?" Mira asked, her brows furred in concern. "You look like you're going to be sick."

Levy started to grin viciously. "Lucy…have you ever…"

I covered my face with my pillow. "Stop it! Stop it! I refuse!"

Erza sighed. "She hasn't."

"Poor Lucy." Mira sighed, patting my back reassuringly. "But won't that make it more special?"

I glanced at the confused white haired girl and gave a weak smile. "I don't think that's how it works, Mira."

"Call up Cana." Levy suggested. "Who knows with that girl. She'd teach Lucy here all the basics."

I shook my head, gathering a deep. "I'll do it. I mean, it doesn't necessary mean that I'll have too, right?"

The girls shook their heads, making me sigh in relief.

The party said to come in whatever attire you wished.

Me and Levy both exchanged unknowing glances as we rummaged through our clothes. I glanced at Levy. "So, what are you wearing?"

She sighed. "I guess I'll just wear a bikini top with shorts, you?"

"I think I'll just copy you." I said sheepishly. "I mean, you have been to more of these then I have."

Levy gave me a small smile before walking to the bathroom. Before she shut the door, I managed to snag her attention. "Uh, Levy?"

"Yeah Lu?"

"If you don't mind me asking…how did you…you know…" I mumbled, my face reddening. I looked up when she didn't reply. Her face was stricken with betrayal, not at me, but at someone.

"Don't trust them, Lu. They're pigs, every single on of them."

And with that she slammed the door behind her.

I got changed into a pink bikini top and pale green shorts after that, still fumbling through her words. I semiconsciously pulled my hair into two pigtails as Levy walked out of the bathroom, wearing an orange bikini top and blue shorts. She looked like she was back to her old self as she gave me a grin.

"Let's go do this, Lu!"

I nodded. "Hai!"

Before we charged out our dorm's room, we both exchanged glances. Levy smiled. "Let's not split up tonight, alright?"

I smiled back at her as I held out my pinkie. "Promise."

Giggling, she squeezed her pinkie with mine and we barreled through the door to the living room where Erza was giving what seemed like war orders.
