*Okay, so I lied. I said I wasn't going to post until maybe Friday. I just like preparing for the worst-case scenario. But I guess I work fast when I have coffee in my system (well most of the time). Yay for coffee! (I have an obsession with coffee and tea). So, here goes the next one.

*I don't own anything.

*Sorry for the grammar mistakes.

Dare-to have the boldness to try

They all just sat there, waiting for Natsu to say something. It really was a simple dare, but somehow the Fire Dragon Slayer couldn't do it.

"I can't do it, can I do something else?"

"No!" they all yelled.

"But, but, but…"

"Can't you see that we have been bored for the past 15 minutes waiting for you to take your turn" Erza cried out.

"Come on Fire-breath!" yelled Gray. At this, Natsu stood up pounding his fists together getting ready to hit Gray. Before Natsu could go to where Gray sat, a huge barrel struck Natsu, effectively knocking him out (Sorry Natsu). Happy flew over to check on Natsu, making sure he was still alive before he dragged him off to a corner. After that, he flew back to where the game was being played. Everyone turned to look at Cana with questioning eyes.

"He was holding up the game." Everyone looked at Natsu in sympathy before continuing on with the game. Cana felt bad for knocking out Natsu but she wanted to get operation get Grayza together before everyone decided to stop playing. Though playing truth and dare was part of Mira's plan, Cana couldn't help but want to help. She and Mira thought Erza and Gray belonged together and if anything got in the way of getting them together, they would just have to do something about it.

~~~~~~A little bit earlier that day~~~~~~~

A terrible blizzard was predicted later that evening, but most members were too busy fighting or drinking to pay attention to the warnings. Those that didn't pay attention included Natsu, Happy, Mira, Cana, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Juvia, Lyon (he was visiting Juvia), Gajeel and Levy. They didn't notice that everyone else left early to avoid the storm. Mira said she was going to close earlier than usual in order to avoid the blizzard. However, she didn't close early enough because by that time, the storm was in full effect. Mira began to close the bar and proceeded to tell the others that they should start heading home. That is until Lucy opened the door and saw that they could not go home because it was really horrible outside. Everyone agreed that it was best to stay there until the morning. However, they came to a problem...they weren't sleepy. Everyone started complaining how boring it was and complaining about the stupid storm. They kept complaining and complaining until Mira suggested that they play truth or dare. Everyone was not tired enough and they were way to bored to disagree.

Mira suggested that they move to the floor as she went to go get an empty bottle. They all formed a circle as Mira came back and set the bottle down. (Erza sat between Lucy and Levy. Across form her sat Natsu (with Happy above his head), who was between Mira and Cana. To the left of Lucy sat Gray and Lyon while Juvia and Gajeel sat to the left of Levy.) Mira spun the bottle and landed on Natsu. She dared him to complement Gray (I was going to make him confess to Lucy but…yeah I changed my mind)

~~~~Back to the present~~~

"Well, I guess I'll spin again" Mira said. She spun again and the bottle pointed at Lucy. Lucy gulped as Mira asked her truth or dare. Lucy chose truth because she was scared at the thought of Mira making her do a dare. Little did she know, that Mira could guess her reasoning for picking truth. "Okay then, who do you like?" Lucy turned bright red as everyone expected her answer.

"Can I choose dare instead" she asked.

"No!" everyone yelled.

"Um…"

"Get on with it!" yelled Cana. Cana really didn't want to hurt Lucy but….

"Fine! I like NATSU!" screamed Lucy. Everyone sort of knew that Lucy liked Natsu and Natsu her, but nobody expected her to scream that she liked him.

"She liiiikes him."

"Happy, I think we already established that she likes Natsu" replied Levy.

"Who likes who?" asked Natsu.

"Whaaaaat? When did you wake up Natsu? What did you hear?" Lucy asked.

*I am ending it here, sorry about that. I am just struggling on how long my one-shots should be.

* I know that this did not have an interaction between Gray and Erza but I'm really struggling on how long my one-shots should be and I sort of wanted to include a tiny bit of NaLu. The next part will be full of Grayza, with a small continuation of NaLu. So, I'll probably post the next part tomorrow, if I remember. Well, see you tomorrow, I hope.
