Lucy sipped her cup of hot chocolate as she sat at the bar. It had taken a long time and a whole lot of charades for Mira and half of the guild to guess that she wanted hot chocolate, but the most surprising thing that happened was that out of everyone in the guild Gajeel had figured it out. She smiled and glanced around the guild, not one annoying dragon slayer in sight. Finally there was some peace and quiet in the guild, in retrospect she shouldn't have chosen Fairy Tail if she was looking for peace and tranquility. She sighed as she heard the guild doors open, no that had to be him, it had to be the most annoying, simple minded goof in the whole world, no the whole universe. She whipped around to see the Gajeel walk through the door, oh well she thought only one annoying dragon slayer but still better then two. She turned back towards the bar still feeling happy when someone popped up right beside her making her jump at least five feet high. Great make that two she thought as Natsu smiled at her. She glared and was about to scream some words that no one would have thought she had the guts to say when she remembered she had lost her voice. He smiled sitting down with happy resting on his shoulder.
"Look Happy," He whispered "I found a flyer; it says that there having a sale on fishing rods."
"That sounds so cool!" Happy screamed earning a shush from Natsu.
"Since you can't go because of that mission with Charlie, I plan to take Lucy. But don't tell her it's a secret."
Lucy looked at them, she was right beside them, it wasn't exactly hard to hear their 'whispering'. She slammed her head against the bar earning a few glances from her fellow guild mates, but all she could think of was spending a day with Natsu shopping for fishing rods. She left her seat and started tiptoeing away; no way was she doing that. She smiled she was almost out the door when Natsu's voice stopped her in her tracks.
"What are you doing?" He asked. She groaned and turned around with a smiled plastered on her face. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, and then she pointed out to the doors.
"You're tired and you are going to go home to sleep." Said Gajeel translating, everyone's mouth dropped down wondering what was up with him lately.
Natsu laughed "That can't be right, I think she's saying that she's bored and she wants to go shopping with me." Lucy's eyes widened as she waved her head frantically. No this can't be happening, why me? She groaned mouthing help me as Natsu dragged her out of the guild. Levy and Mira just laughed and waved goodbye. She groaned admitting defeat when she suddenly saw Gray go past them with a black eye and a cast on his arm. What happened to him she thought as she was dragged out of the view of the guild.
Gray strode over to Mira a look of pure hatred "You!"
Mira pointed her index finger at herself "Me?"
"Yes you" He yelled commanding the whole attention of the guild that was until he shot them a look and they scampered as far away from him as possible.
Mira smiled "I did nothing."
"That's what someone who's guilty says."
Mira sighed "I swear on my takeover abilities that I did not cause you any harm, directly."
Gray looked at her stunned "Directly? What did you do hire ninjas?"
Mira looked crestfallen "I should have, but no all I did was tell Freed."
Gray sighed "I guess I deserved it."
"You did." Mira responded earning a glare from Gray that sent shivers down her spine.
Lucy sighed as she stood beside Natsu who was staring intently at the fishing rods in front of them.
"Which one should I get?" Natsu asked as if Lucy could still talk. She smiled and pointed to the pink one with hearts all over it; she couldn't help but think of how manly Natsu would look like with this bad boy. Natsu stared at her and sighed "You are such a girl sometimes."
Lucy shook her head, yes because yesterday she was a boy she thought. Honestly just choose a fishing rod Natsu, they had been there for over and hour just looking at the rods. She looked at the employ as he approached them "May I help you." Natsu smiled "Yes what's the difference between the Fishomatic 2304 rod and the Fishies Swim rod?"
Lucy felt like banging her head against a wall as the employ went into a deep description of the two rods, what they were good at, what were the differences and what places they worked better in. Honestly weren't all fishing rods meant to be used in water she thought solemnly. Finally after what seemed like a decade Natsu had chosen a fishing rod. He and Lucy were making there way toward the cash register when the employ interrupted again "Don't you need bait?" Lucy groaned great she had spent a decade looking at fishing rods and now she would spend a century looking at worms. She followed as they made their way to the bait isle (or as Lucy calls it the worm isle) she sighed deciding she really hated Sam Roger who worked at the Fish Rack.
Gray looked at Freed and Mira who were sitting at the bar looking happy, he glanced as Wendy healed his badly bruised up arm.
"Thank you for healing me Wendy." He said as she finished her healing and turned to him.
"It's no problem Gray I healed Lucy too."
Gray raised an eyebrow then why wasn't she talking. Wendy smiled as if realizing the question he had yet to ask. "It takes time to heal fully, but her voice should be alright in an hour." Wendy replied
Gray sighed "Does she know that?"
Wendy shook her head "Nope."
Gray smiled "Then it's about time she did."
Lucy smiled as she saw Gray walk into the store. She waved hello and he waved in response. She knew that someone would save her, but he just laughed and shook his head.
"I'm not saving you, but I will tell you that you can talk now."
"I can" She said and laughed as she heard her own voice "Guess that answers it, by the way how would you know."
"I'm awesome." Gray responded, but only to hear Lucy laugh. "You're right you are, but right now I plan to get back at Natsu."
As if on cue they heard Natsu's voice "Come on Luce we're done." She waved goodbye and yelled that she was coming. Gray laughed as he exited the store and walked towards his favourite café. He stopped as he looked into the window and broke down in laughter earning the attention of the couple seating at the window seat, who happened to be none other then Freed and Mira. Mira blushed as they ran out of the café. "It's not what you think." Mira said. "Oh, what do I think? That you're a couple well you're wrong I am not thinking that." Mira let out a sigh of relief but soon stopped when she heard the rest of his sentence "I already know that you're a couple, but I am never going to let you live it down." He waved goodbye as he turned and started walking away.
"Gray!" Mira yelled angrily
Gray just laughed and continued walking down the street happily. Two bird's one stone.
Lucy smiled as they walked to the fishing dock. Natsu put the bait on his rod and tried to dip it into the water. He tried over and over again while Lucy sat down and read the instructions. Yes a rod came with instruction as crazy as it may seem.
"What's wrong with this thing?" Natsu asked his patience disappearing. Lucy just smiled and asked if she could try, he obliged looking sceptical.
"Hey Natsu, can you see any fish." She watched as he head down hands on his knees looking for fish.
"Yeah there's one right there." He said still looking at the fish.
"Are you sure?' Lucy asked smiling as the boy yet again leaned closer. She quickly attached the hook where you put the bait to the back of his vest. She released the hold that kept the fishing rod from reeling and pushed him into the river. She snickered as she saw him land in with a big splash. She smiled and looked at a lady who had just entered the street.
"Miss can you hold my fishing rod while I use the restroom. If something pulls please reel it up."
The woman looked surprised "This isn't a prank is it."
Lucy pretended to look shocked and shook her head "Of course not."
They lady agreed and held onto the fishing pole, Lucy smiled backing up into someone. She looked up to see Gray holding back laughter. They both watched silently as the woman, and three men pulled Natsu up. They held back their laughter as they watched the woman take her purse and hit him with. After yelling out some…interesting words they decided to just chase him down the street which resulted in both Gray and Lucy laughing.
"Well," Gray said "That was quite the catch Luce."
Lucy giggled "Yup!"
"But I honestly didn't think you'd have it in you."
Lucy just shrugged "You thought wrong."
