Chapter 3: Suspect #1: Mirajane Strauss.
The morning light was still seeping in around Fairy Tail High, but every three minutes, the morning sky grew brighter and brighter. The morning gym class was already in their gym clothes and getting ready to walk the track on this nippy-aired morning. Gajeel and Levy made a quick trip to their lockers to get their jackets and soon met up on the track. The dew-soaked grass, leaving dew drops on their school-mandatory shoes.
"Ok, where is she?" Gajeel asked Levy.
"She should be nearby." Levy pondered as she looked around the track before there was a flick in her eyes "There she is!"
Levy pointed out a young woman with long white hair, her bangs held in a small ponytail, and was obviously in her Senior Year here at Fairy Tail High, stretching herself out before jogging the track.
"Mira!" Levy called out. The white haired woman looked up and smiled when she spotted Levy.
"Levy! Hi!" Mira smiled. She jogged over to Levy and Gajeel while putting her long hair back in a big ponytail "How are you today?"
"I'm doing alright." Levy smiled "Thanks for asking!" Mira looked up and noticed Gajeel next to her and began to think.
"Oh Levy!" Mira smirked "Are you and the school bad boy dating?" Gajeel looked at her in shock while Levy blushed.
"Take it easy Demon Wench!" Gajeel barked "The Shrimp and I are here on buisness."
"Buisness?" Mira looked at them owilishly "What kind of buisness?"
"We're trying to figure out what exactly happened to Laxus?" Mira paled whe she heard that.
"Oh. That." she sounded a little down when she heard that.
"Are you ok with us questioning you?" Levy asked concern.
"I am, I just- sorry, it's kind of hard on me like it is with Laxus. I don't know who would do such a thing."
"Sparky told us you and him are constantly breaking up and getting back together." Gajeel asked "Is this true?"
"Laxus and I have our fights." Mira smiled "But we never break up. We just cool off and talk it out later." Gajeel and Levy exchanged glances at that reply.
"What do you know about all this?" Levy asked.
"Laxus had been a little more jumpy than usual when it started." Mira began to rest her chin on her hand "At first he laughed it off but when it got more serious he was starting to freak out more and more. Freaks him out more than my way of keeping in shape."
"Which is..."
"Throwing up a lot of course. Teehee."
"Have you seen any of this shit go on?" Gajeel asked, changing the subject.
"Sadly no." Mira sighed "Whoever is doing this apparently does this when Laxus is alone."
"Damn." Gajeel grumbled "Do you know anyone who could be behind this?!"
"Personally, I couldn't pin my finger on anyone." Mira shrugged "Laxus does have a lot of people who're jealous of him."
"Can you name someone who'd be on the top of your list if you had one?" Levy asked. Mira thought for a moment and it struck her.
"Only one I could think of is Gray Fullbuster. He's always been sidelined by the coach in football, but now that Laxus is unable to play in this week's big game against Alverez High, Gray will be starting quarterback because of this."
"Can you give us a moment Mira?" Levy asked.
"Of course!" Mira smiled. Levy took Gajeel to the side and spoke with him right then and there.
"Seems to me Gray could be a liable suspect. I've heard rumors of Gray being jealous of Laxus getting all the leads in the games."
"You think the ice bastard could be behind this?" Gajeel asked curiously.
"Possibly. I mean, Gray doesn't strike me the type to do this type of stuff! If he did this, I'd be shocked."
"Looks like Stripper is our next suspect." Gajeel and Levy walked over to Mirajane to continue the conversation.
"Thank you for your time Mira." Levy smiled.
"No problem!" Mira replied "Are you avalible to go shopping next weekend?"
"Oh definitley!"
"Great! See you later Levy!"
"Bye Mira!" and with that said, both Gajeel and Levy left the track to find Gray.
"Ok, where the hell is that stripping bastard first thing in the morning?" Gajeel grumbled.
"I got no clue to be honest." Levy admitted "Gray is another friend of mine; but I haven't heard him once talk about where he has his first period class."
"So... to the fucking front?"
"To the Main Office it is." with that said, the two left to the Main Office.
