Levy you evil mastermind.
8m03d16h23m03s (8 months, 3 days, 16 hours, 23 minutes, 3 seconds)
Lucy woke up groggily, almost knocking over her mug that sat on her bedside table.
It tilted towards the the edge of the wooden table, which made Lucy alert. She quickly shot out her hand to catch her falling mug. It landed softly in her hands, which she sighed in relief.
Lucy turned, and tried to continue her slumber by shutting her eyes. After a few minutes, she gave up and groaned. Lucy jumped a bit when her phone rang off, loud and clear. Slowly removing the covers off her, Lucy tried to find her phone. Lucy picked it up, seeing it was Levy's caller I.D. Lucy flipped her phone open.
"Yes?" Lucy said in a hoarse voice, then clearing her throat.
"Hey Lucy!" Levy's voice rang from the tiny device.
"Why are you calling me at 7:46 in the morning?" Lucy asked, holding her phone between her head and shoulder while trying to put on her slippers.
"So I'm not allowed to call my best friend in the morning?" Levy replied. Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Yes."
"Lu-chan!"
"I meant, is there a reason why you called me?" Lucy held her phone near her ear, walking into her apartment kitchen.
"Oh yeah, I got some tickets to the amusement park! Wanna come?" Levy said, while Lucy poured herself a bowl of cereal.
"I don't know, I wanna relax Levy," Lucy said. She could literally hear the pout that Levy made.
"You have to come! Are you just going to leave your best friend alone on a boring Sunday?" Levy whined from the phone. Lucy swallowed her Cherrios.
"Fine," Lucy mumbled, as she dipped her spoon in the bowl and scooped another spoonful of Cherrios.
"Yay! Meet me at 10 at the fountain!" Levy said, then the line went blank. Lucy sighed and started to finish her cereal.
Lucy looked outside, it looked sunny with a few clouds. She went back to her room, and looked in her closet. She fished out a yellow skirt that went down just above her knees, and a turquoise button-up blouse. Lucy pulled on some black knee-socks, and laid down on her bed while turning on her TV.
All was left to do was wait.
Levy's SoulClock (0m0d05h28m12s) (0 months, 0 days, 5 hours, 28 minutes,12 seconds)
Levy grinned to herself as she hung up the phone with Lucy.
"Sorry Lucy, you need some love in your life," Levy said, getting her thick phonebook out.
Amusement park tickets laid on the counter, enough for three people to attend. Levy flipped through the phone book, trying to find a certain name. Her SoulClock had a sudden drop in her number this morning, to Levy's surprise. She was going to meet her soulmate in 5 hours.
As much as she was excited to meet her soulmate, Levy tried to concentrate on her best friend's love life. Lucy did not like love, and Levy was going to change that. Levy continued to flip through the phone book, muttering to herself.
"Now, where is Dragneel's phone number?"
8m03d13h09m45s (8 months, 3 days, 13 hours, 9 minutes, 45 seconds)
Lucy walked to the fountain, where Levy and her were supposed to meet.
She kept her eyes cast down on her phone, where she was playing games. Lucy could tell where she was walking by the cracks in the sidewalk, she had already known this town for 16 years.
Lucy arrived at the fountain, where she sat down. She looked at the time on her phone, and frowned. Levy was supposed to be at the fountain by now. Lucy kept texting Levy where she was, and Levy kept replying "I'm coming, I'm coming jeez". Lucy looked at her phone, about to text Levy again when she heard a voice.
"Oh hey Luce! Are you coming to the amusement park too?" Natsu grinned, sticking his hands in his red leather jacket. Lucy slowly looked up, her thumb hanging over the "Send" button on her phone.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Levy running towards them, a little smirk on her face. Lucy kept looking back and forth between Natsu and Levy.
"Levy, you are so dead," Lucy whispered, not loud enough for Natsu to hear. Natsu's ears perked up, but didn't notice.
"Oh hey guys!" Levy said, hiding her smirk behind her smile. Lucy gave a small glare at her best friend. Natsu just smiled back oblivious to the situation at hand.
"I'm so excited to go to the amusement park!" Natsu said, grinning.
"Yay," Lucy said blankly. Levy gave Lucy a look.
"Uh, listen, I forgot there was something, so I have to g-" Lucy started, walking slowly away.
Levy was behind her in a flash. "I don't think so Lu," Levy said, her smirk coming through a bit. "Unless you don't want to meet my soulmate?" Lucy's eyes widened as she turned around quickly, grabbing her wrist.
Levy was going to meet her soulmate in 5 hours. Lucy's eyes brightened as she let out a small shriek, startling Natsu who was watching the whole thing.
"What's happening?" Natsu asked, peering over Lucy's shoulder. She was too happy for her best friend to even notice he was over her shoulder.
"If your soulmate is a weirdo, then I'm taking you away," Lucy announced, making Levy giggle and roll her eyes.
"Can we go to the carnival now?" Natsu said loudly, making Lucy glare at the back of his pink head.
"Sure, pink-head," Lucy muttered. Levy stifled her giggle. Natsu's eye twitched.
They continued to walk, with Natsu taking the lead, and Lucy and Levy talking about Levy's soulmate. At a completely random time, when Levy was getting them sodas, Lucy heard Natsu mutter.
"It's salmon," Natsu muttered.
Lucy couldn't help but smile just a bit.
They arrived at the entrance, where Levy fished out the tickets for them.
Lucy put her ticket in the slot, and passed through the entrance. It seemed like they were in another world. There were children playing and laughing, people carrying around cotton candy, and huge rides. She didn't even know where to go first.
"I wanna go on that!" Natsu popped out from behind her, pointing to the biggest rollercoaster Lucy had ever seen in her life. Her eyes widened in fear.
"Shouldn't we go a slightly smaller one?" Lucy asked nervously, secretly hoping they wouldn't go on the massive coaster. Levy smirked behind the two as she devised a plan.
"Don't be silly Lu! Let's go!" Levy chirped, dragging Lucy towards the rollercoaster. Natsu smiled happily and ran ahead of them to get tickets. Once he was far enough, Lucy whipped her head to Levy. Levy had to surpress and hide her smirk as she played innocent.
"I don't know what you're doing Levy, but I will stop you!" Lucy said, then realizing it sounded cheesy. Levy snickered.
"You sound like a villian in an anime," Levy giggled, running up ahead. Lucy groaned as she tried to catch up with her.
Natsu joined them, giving tem tickets for the rolercoaster. Every so slightly, Natsu's hand brushed Lucy's hand as he handed her ticket. Natsu didn't seem to notice, but Lucy felt it slightly. Levy gave her a wink.
They waited in the line for a good 10 minutes, which consisted of Lucy complaining, Natsu being over-excited, and Levy trying to imagine her soulmate. Levy quickly looked at her wrist, seeing that there was still some hours until she would meet them.
Finally, they were at the front of the line. Levy quickly realized she was next to Natsu, and that she wuld be sitting next to him. Before the man collected their tickets, Levy dashed behind Lucy and pushed her towards Natsu.
"Wa-?" Lucy said as Levy pushed her forward, but the man quickly led her to the seat next to Natsu. Levy proudly sat behind the two, her smile in triumph.
Mental Note: Kill Levy later. Lucy thought as she strapped in the seat. Luckily, there was an armrest in between Natsu and herself, which gave a barrier between the two. Natsu seemed to help himself, putting his arm on the armrest, making Lucy a bit annoyed.
The handle in front of them suddenly pulled down, stabbing Lucy in the stomach but effectively keeping her place. The rails rattled while the seats moved up the railing, which made Lucy doubt the ride was even stable. She gulped as they neared the top, and everything below her seemed to look like tiny ants.
The seats stopped right at the edge of the top, and it felt like the ride had stopped to Lucy. Everyone wondered in confusion as they sat there for a few seconds.
"Hey, what happ-" Lucy started, but it turned silent as the ride suddenly tipped downwards, then going full speed down the steep railings.
Everyone on the ride screamed, including Lucy. Meanwhile, beside her, Natsu was grinning, the wind blowing back his pink hair roughly. His hand gripped the middle arm rest, squeezing it tightly.
Lucy, who was taken by surprise, was surprised her lungs didn't fall out yet. She was the loudest person to scream on the ride, and it was starting to hurt Natsu's ears. Lucy flailed to the side when they took a sharp turn, and her hands gripped Natsu's arm. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut and screamed louder, if it was even possible. Natsu frowned and covered Lucy's mouth.
"Stop screaming!" Natsu yelled, his eyebrows scrunched up. Lucy frowned and took his hand off, and slightly blushed when she realized she was still holding on to his arm. Lucy blushed even more when she realized she was blushing.
Lucy released his arm, much to Natsu's relief.
The ride continued on, and Lucy found herself grinning as the wind blew roughly against her face. The thrill of the ride excited her, and Lucy was now enjoying it. Slowly, the rollercoaster seemed to go much slower, until they fully stopped back where they had started.
"That was really fun!" Natsu grinned, then looking back at the ride to see if they could go again. Lucy smiled.
"Yeah, but I'm really hungry, can we get something to eat?" Lucy asked, searching on the paper map for the carnival's food court. She scanned it with her chocolate orbs until she finally found it.
"Over there!" Lucy exclaimed, then suddenly marching to a random direction. Natsu grinned happily, following behind Lucy.
Levy rolled her eyes, until she took an innocent glance at her SoulClock. Her eyes widened, and she fumbled with her purse. A sea of butterflies crashed into her stomach, as Levy ran to the opposite direction of where Natsu and Lucy were heading.
Levy- (0m0d0h29m07s) 0 months, 0 days, 0 hours, 29 minutes, and 7 seconds.
Levy frantically fixed her hair in the porta-potty mirror, the horrid smell drifting through her nose.
Wait, what if the stench of the porta-potty sticks on me? I'll smell like dung and urine! Levy thought, then fumbling into her purse for perfume. She ran out of the porta-potty, the long line that was waiting outside yelling at her for taking so long.
Levy quickly put a light spray of peppermint perfume on, then closing the cap and putting it back in her purse.
Crap, I forgot to text Lucy! Levy remembered, then silently cursed in her head. Levy took out her phone, and harshly punched in Lucy's phone number. Levy brought the blue cellphone up to her ear while pacing rather fast as she waited for Lucy to pick up.
"Hello? Lu?" Levy said, holding the end of the phone very close to her mouth.
"LEVY DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I WAS WORR-" Lucy screamed through the phone, the sound pounding through Levy's eardrums.
"Yes yes, I know but I'M ABOUT TO MEET MY SOULMATE WHAT THE HELL DO I DO," Levy screamed, causing the pedestrians passing her to scoot away.
"Calm down Levy, how long until you meet him/her?" Lucy's voice rang through the phone, calming Levy slightly.
"It's okay, I still have-2 MINUTES?" Levy yelled, looking at her SoulClock. The number from before had alarmingly dropped down to 2 minutes, almost sending Levy into a panic attack. Her finger had almost magically pressed the end button on he phone, and it had disappeared in her purse.
"Calm down Levy, calm down, it's just your soulmate, only your true love in the entire UNIVERSE," Levy spoke her herself, taking deep breaths and pacing very fast in circles.
Levy looked at her SoulClock again, the numbers on the clock were dropping faster and faster. Her heart was beating out of it's chest as the seconds on the clock reached 10.
10 seconds.
9 seconds.
8 seconds.
7 seconds.
6 seconds.
5 seconds.
4 seconds. What would she do?
3 seconds. What would she say?
2 seconds. Would it be a boy, or a girl?
1 second. Long or short hair?
0.
Levy's pacing quickened, making her trip over herself, she closed her eyes and embraced for impact. Levy opened her eyes to find herself in muscular arms. She looked up into red eyes, and a large, black mane. His huge body looked so big next to hers.
"Oi, this shrimp is my soulmate?" His gruff voice said, Levy could hear the rumble in his chest as he said it. Levy gulped.
Long hair it is.
08m03d12h34m15s (8 months, 3 days, 12 hours, 34 minutes, and 15 seconds.)
"Levy? Levy? Levy!" Lucy shouted into her phone, only to find out her best friend had hung up on her. Lucy groaned out of fustration, and kept dialing Levy's phone number.
"Lucy?" Natsu asked, holding two hot dogs, one with ketchup and cheese, and the other with everything on it. Lucy held a finger up to Natsu, causing him to mimic eating both hot dogs. Lucy glared at him, while her call with Levy disconnected. Lucy put her phone back in her purse, zipping the pink bag up.
"Now, give me my hotdog!" Lucy said, reaching for the hotdog that Natsu was just about to take a bite of. Natsu widened his eyes and pulled away, almost dropping both of them. Lucy leaned on Natsu, trying to reach for her lunch. An elderly couple walked by them, whispering and chuckling about how they were like Lucy and Natsu. Lucy didn't notice, and kept trying to reach her hot dog to fulfill her hunger.
Lucy gently grabbed it out of Natsu's hand, frowning at him. Natsu grinned cheekily at her, and Lucy's frown dissipated. Her stomach rumbled, her mouth watering at the plain hot dog, when her nose was delighted by another smell to her left. She looked over, and realized it was Natsu's hot dog.
She bit her lip, and her stomach grumbled again. Lucy cursed silently, wishing she had gotten the same thing as Natsu. Natsu, who heard Lucy's loud bowels, chuckled and held his hot dog up to Lucy's face. Suddenly surprised by it, Lucy looked over to Natsu.
"I know you're hungry. Take a bite," Natsu said, completely oblivious to the situation. Lucy mentally rolled her eyes. Biting the inside of her cheek, she debated inside of her head whether to take a bite or not.
Driven by her hunger, Lucy leaned forward and took a bite of the pork. A different variety of flavors entered her mouth, making Lucy relieved she had taken a bite.
Natsu grinned at her, taking a bite after. Lucy's cheeks flared, remembering something as an indirect kiss. She turned away, unwrapping her own hotdog and taking a bite of it.
A dark, large shadow loomed over them, making Lucy and Natsu startled. Quickly, Lucy reached into her purse to pull out pepper spray, while Natsu turned and put an arm in front of her. The man stepped away, with his hand up, while a short blue-haired girl popped up behind him.
A blushing Levy looked at Lucy, while she stared at her in shock.
"Heh, this is my soulmate?" Levy mumbled, smiling sheepishly at her. Lucy calmly put her pepper spray in her bag, zipped it up, and walked towards Levy.
"How DARE you not contact me, hang up on me, and suddenly bring your new boyfriend here without introducing him?" Lucy yelled, hitting Levy with her bag. Natsu quickly grabbed Lucy, stopping the assault on Levy.
"Lucy, calm down," Natsu said, holding back the fuming Lucy. Her face flamed even more when she realized she was being held in Natsu's muscular arms. Freeing herself, Lucy huffed and sat on the bench, crossing her arms.
"You better tell me everything, Levy, or I'll be at your funeral." Lucy threatened, making Levy scoot behind the man. Natsu gasped dramatically, pointing towards the man.
"Gajeel?" Natsu asked, poking his face. Annoyance appeared on Gajeel's face, swatting Natsu's finger away.
"No, it's Pikachu, dumbass," Gajeel said, rolling his eyes. Natsu sat there, dumbfounded, until he realized that Levy was Gajeel's soulmate.
"Aw, Gajeel! It's about time you got a girlfriend!" Natsu said, grinning at him, Gajeel and Levy blushing madly. Lucy rolled her eyes at Natsu, him not realizing how embarrassing it was for them.
"Anyways, Levy, when you get home, we are having a 5-hour phone call. You two have lots of fun!" Lucy winked at the two of them, causing them to blush harder, while dragging Natsu away to give them some alone time.
Once the newly-couple was out of their sight, Lucy and Natsu looked at eachother awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Well, I guess I'll go home now," Lucy said, starting to walk away.
"Wait, could I see your phone? I need to call my mom and I left my phone at home," Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand, making her look at him. Pursing her lips, Lucy reached into her purse, pulling out her pink phone.
Natsu worked fast with his thumbs, not even trying to make a call. Lucy looked at him confusingly, until he was finished. He just smiled at her, walking away.
"See ya Lucy," Natsu said softly, giving her a big smile.
Lucy just stood there, a blush spread across her entire face.
Oh no, this is getting cheesy and cliche. Better make someone depressed or die soon.
Ps, why do I make such descriptive scenes about hot dogs?
