A/N: Hay~ I'm back after 9,000 years! Anyway, just wanted to dedicate this chapter to the awesome friends I've met on this site. You guys know who you are. Enjoy the chapter!
Yesterday, Cana had decided that only having 10 barrels of alcohol (2 for each restaurant) was not enough. So, today, she had thought up a genius plan to get even more. It was so brilliant, according to her slightly drunken mind.
At the guild hall...
"Nab, come on! We're just about to head out for our fourth day, and you haven't even come once!" Jet said, preparing to leave along with Droy and Levy.
Nab stood there in front of the job board, still waiting for the perfect job.
"But Jet, what if the perfect job comes while I'm gone?" he complained, not moving his eyes from the board.
"We'll all be gone, so it won't matter, 'cause you'll see it again!" Levy pointed out. She hoisted her bag over her shoulder. "C'mon, I want to go see Lu-chan!"
"Levy-chan..." Jet and Droy sobbed at the same time.
They managed to get Nab to agree, albeit after about 10 more minutes, but they finally got ready to go to the water park.
At the Typhoon Slides...
"Race you down!" Natsu teased, getting ready to go down the first of three slides. Erza was on the second, and Gray was on the third.
"It's on," Gray responded. The light on his turned green, but he waited until the others' did.
The slides varied greatly, but it was very hard to tell which was which. The first one was a 8-story-long, straight-down plunge. It sounded fun until it was over. The second was full of twists and turns, which was awesome until you realized how long it took. The third and final one was known for random surprises, with twists, turns, drops, even going backwards at one point. Each was labeled with a letter. The first was 'A', the second was 'B', and the third was 'H', because logic.
Natsu was on A, Erza was on B, Gray was on H.
For obvious reasons, Natsu was the first one down and Erza was last. As soon as she emerged, she was able to witness Gray pushing Natsu into a pool, knowing that it would be a while longer before she got down. However, he appeared to have miscalculated...
"Oh, Grayyy~," she singsonged.
He could run surprisingly fast.
Just outside the park...
"I can't believe it! My brilliant plan didn't work!" Cana said angrily. Originally, she had attempted to use make-up, a more modest swimsuit, and a wig to look older than she really was. However, that failed when she had tried to use the Mild River to get to Onyx's, and all the make-up washed off.
The second time, she used the same trick, except she decided to just walk to the restaurant so she wouldn't lose her make-up.
Her wig fell off halfway, through.
Long story short, she got kicked out of the park. However, she paid this no mind. Now that she wasn't allowed in the park, after all, she could just go back and drink in the guild hall.
After all, that was pretty much all she did anyway, and she didn't even want to go on the slides. Drinking was so much more fun. Therefore, that's what she did for the rest of the day.
Back in the park...
"I can't believe I'm doing this," Nab angrily said to himself. "What if the perfect job comes while I'm here?" He was standing in line for the first slide he saw, and obviously didn't really want to be there. But, like almost every guy in the guild, he knew that Levy's cuteness was too much. Seriously, pretty much everyone knew Levy was almost as cute as little Asuka.
"It's fine if you leave after this," Levy said, standing right behind him. She had found this slide rather fabulous and was therefore going to go down it again, because logic. "It'd be nice if you could stay, though!" Her face turned bright red and she frowned. "Oh, no! I forgot to talk to Lu-sama today."
"Since when is she Lu-sama to you?!" Jet, Droy, and Nab all yelled in unison. Levy smiled, finding it rather amusing to blow their minds.
"Since yesterday!"
"The hell happened yesterday?" Jet asked, irritated and suspicious.
"You'll find out~"
"E-EH?!" As the 4 were currently first in line, the worker with a covered name tag shook his head.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we have a weight limit."
"Ah, I haven't been able to go on any for this whole trip!" Droy complained. He prepared to go down anyway, and the worker couldn't stop him in time.
Until...
CRASH!
"It's going down, I'm telling timber!" a rather familiar blonde loudly sang, rather off-key at that, as the slide managed to tumble down into the depths of the wave pool.
"Security!" the worker yelled. That's how Droy got kicked out. A few others soon followed, however...
"Don't set random workers on fire," Macao sighed deeply to his son.
"I was trying to dry him off. That's the type of fire I used."
"Well, you got us both kicked out. I'm supposed to be your legal guardian, y'know!"
"Natsu-nii would have set them on fire."
"Because he's a reckless idiot!"
"A reckless idiot who scored the Titania."
"Scored- who the hell-!"
"You, Wakaba, Mira, Levy, shall I continue?"
"Okay, okay! I get it now!"
Outside the gates, quite a few people were standing. More accurately, everyone in Fairy Tail who had been kicked out, along with Jellal in his sparkly, pink sunglasses. Don't judge the sunglasses, bro.
"You guys, too?"
Beaten, Romeo nodded.
Back at the park...
"Damn it! These lines are so long!" Natsu complained.
"If you set any more human beings on fire, we're going to be the next ones who get kicked out," Erza said. "So don't." She had to remind him of this because of a certain incident that happened when he set a few people alight because he was tired of waiting. Luckily, Juvia was there to put them (mostly) out, but it did wreak plenty of havoc.
"That was one time!"
"And it had better be the only one. Unless you want to choose the other option..." she threatened, leaving room for him to decide just what 'the other option' was. That only fueled his fear.
That managed to shut him up until they made it to the front. However, it did not stop him from getting extremely bored whilst in line.
"Gray-sama, why is the man going down that slide on fire?"
"I have no idea."
Erza glared while Natsu put on his best innocent face.
Just outside the park...
"So, hold on... you got kicked out for getting in a fight with Natsu?" Cana asked, attempting to clear things up with Jellal.
"Yes."
"How exactly did you stay alive?!" Droy asked, shocked.
"Why would I not?"
"But... Erza was assigned to look after him all day..." Happy said, his brain still attempting to reason with the logic that was being presented to him.
"She wasn't there when he challenged me."
By that point, everyone was confused out of their minds.
"Why would he even challenge you?" Romeo asked.
"Because he's Natsu," Macao responded, but Jellal shook his head.
"Something about breaking Erza's heart. He didn't tell me much before he kicked me in the balls."
Of course Natsu would do that.
Later…
"Lu-sama? Are you okay?" Levy asked, poking her good friend on the shoulder.
"Levy-chan... don't worry. Aquarius just took out a lot of my magic power."
"That's not good," she commented.
"I'll be okay. Go hang out with Jet and Droy, all right?"
"No, I want to stay here," Levy insisted.
"If you insist," Lucy said with a shrug. Her brow furrowed and she questioningly looked at Levy. "Oh, and, since when am I Lu-sama to you?" Not that she minded, but the question was begging to be asked. Levy shrugged.
"I don't know! I just felt like it one day."
Lucy grasped Levy's hand, leaving the shorter girl with a smile on her face and daydreams rushing through her head.
"Do you want to head back for today?"
Levy nodded, saying, "Sure! I read a book pretty recently that I've been wanting to show you..."
They were so focused on each other that they didn't even notice the growing list of people who were kicked out.
