Recap:
"Everyone" Wendy took a deep breath. "This is Charle, she became human" she finished.
The guild went silent again.
"EHHH!"
"Idiots…" Charle muttered while Wendy laughed nervously.
CHAPTER 3
Wendy and Charle sat in Team Natsu's table. A plate full of fishes greeted them on top of the table. Everyone returned to what they were doing before the two Exceeds-turn-Humans came in. Lucy and Erza were talking about the latest Sorcerer's Weekly magazine which Mirajane was on the cover of the latest issue, while Gray and Natsu were bickering about whose the strongest that ended once again on a fight with Elfman and the rest joining them. Juvia was hiding behind a large pole, watching her beloved Gray-sama fight; cheering for him every now and then. Wendy was carefully observing Levy deciphering the spell in one corner. Gajeel was eating some metals with Lily also eating some kiwi that Mira gave him. Cana was still passed out due to too much drinking of alcohol. Thankfully, the master was not yet back from the meeting with the other guild masters to witness this site.
Everyone was really noisy. Charle tried her best to stay calm. But how could she stay calm if every single minute, Happy would come closer, offer her fish and tried to flirt with her? Charle couldn't help but get annoyed by it. It's the same tactics every time. Charle often wondered if there is anything that Happy could do besides flying and offering her fish. She hates fish, even though she's a cat, she's not fond of it. Charle began to think. Happy was different. He was heroic that time in Edolas, when he defended her from the other Exceeds. He was also funny, every time he teases his nakamas and gets teased by in return. Charle couldn't help but notice that he was even cuter in his human form; a big smiling face and a blue hair on top of his head. She wondered if one day Happy wouldn't come near her anymore and won't like her anymore. That would really be depressing. She was always the prim and proper kind of girl; the cold and strict one. And she can't believe she came to like an idiot yet charming Happy.
Happy kept tapping her shoulders, offering her fish and such but every time he did, Charle would always ignore him or sometimes scold him. He always wished that his' feelings would reach her. Every night he dreams that Charle would also like him. Maybe he needs to try harder. What if instead of fish, he would offer her cakes? But he knew that if he took Erza's cakes, he will never see the light of day ever again. She was that scary.
"Finish!" Levy called the attention of Happy and Charle. Everyone stopped fighting when they heard the script mage's voice.
"Really Levy-chan?" Lucy asked.
Levy nodded happily.
"You are amazing!" Lucy complimented her.
"So, how are we going to turn them back to normal?" Erza asked the script mage.
"Easy! They just have to read the spell backwards" Levy explained. She handed the paper to Happy and Charle; motioning them to read it.
They read the spell again but it didn't work.
"Maybe you have to close your eyes or something" Gray suggested.
Again, they recited the spell with their eyes closed but still it didn't work.
"Levy-san…" Wendy patted the script mage's back.
"Yes Wendy-chan?" she asked.
"Umm… While I was observing you when you were deciphering the spell, I noticed something written on top of the paper and it said something about mutual feelings…" Wendy said.
"I get it now! They have to like each other or say they like each other so the spell could be broken" Levy explained again.
"What?!" Charle exclaimed, trying to hide her blush. Then, she turned to Happy who was also blushing but smiling sadly. It's the first time she had seen Happy like this.
"Charle…" Everyone became silent.
"I've always liked you, from the first time I met you; you could say that I fell in love in first sight. But it seems that what I do doesn't, you know… But, all I want to say is I like you Charle even if you don't like me back!" he confessed then lowered his head.
Everyone was surprised then turn their heads to Charle; waiting for her reply.
"Idiot…" Charle muttered. Happy looked up.
"You Idiot!" Charle yelled, surprising everyone.
"How could you say 'even if you don't like me back'? You idiot! Can't you tell? Do you even wonder why I keep hanging out with you even though you're annoying the hell out of me?"
"Because you like Erza's cakes that you want to hang out with me?" Happy answered, quite unsure.
"Because I also like you, you idiot!" Charle suddenly grabbed Happy's shoulders and closed the gap between their lips.
Happy's eyes widened as well as everyone else. Charle suddenly realized what she had just done and she parted; the heat rising to her face. She can't believe she really did that.
As everyone was trying to absorb what just happen in front them. A bright light enveloped Happy and Charle. After a few seconds, they turned back to normal.
"I didn't know you were quite aggressive, Charle" Happy giggled.
"Shut up!" Charle protested, blushing furiously.
"Well, umm… Would you like some fish? Or if you don't, let's have some-"
Charle suddenly grabbed Happy's arm; a faint blush visible on her face.
"I would love to" she smiled. Happy smiled back.
The girls giggled and the boys gave Happy thumbs up. Everyone cheered and began to celebrate.
"I wonder what Lily will look like if he becomes human" Levy said while sipping her drink. Gajeel and Lily were sitting beside her.
"Probably a strong man" Gajeel answered while munching on metals.
"Don't ever think about it" Lily stated.
Both laughed and returned to what they were doing; enjoying the noisy yet fun guild.
