Prompt 4: Games/ Jokes

Summary: You never mess with a drunken Erza. Or Lucy for that matter.

It hadn't been their best idea.

Scratch that what hadn't been a good idea was deciding to ask suggestion from Cana about drinks.

Team Natsu was celebrating their victory in the GMG.

They were back at the guild, for there hadn't been much time to celebrate in Crocus after the whole future people ordeal.

So after the general celebration at the guildhall, Team Natsu had gathered at Lucy's apartment to celebrate their victory.

Mira had obviously been working the bar during the party so they were all pretty tipsy.

Wendy wasn't allowed to drink yet by Carla, despite being of legal drinking age. Instead Wendy had been drinking punch all night long. The rest of the team just hoped that Carla knew that punch had been spiked more likely than not by Cana at some point during the night.

So, on wobbly legs and slurred speech, the seven made their way to Lucy's place.

The three (four) girls were walking ahead of the guys, saying something about how cute everyone had looked in the fancy dresses and suits at the King's ball.

The guys walked behind the girls talking in hushed voices, a plan forming in their heads.

At first the notion had been a joke, a suggestion from Natsu, a ridiculous one at that.

Pranking the girls.

They hadn't tried it in a while, and right now, it was sounding like something really fun.

Arriving at Lucy's place, the group all at once entered the small apartment and collapsed in the living room.

After a few minutes, Wendy began to giggle. It was a soft giggle, which soon turned louder and louder until finally she was laughing uncontrollably. Between laughs the rest of the team had managed to pull out bits of a story that sounded like her and Romeo and something about a prank to Macao.

That action was enough to make Carla suspicious.

"Child, just what did you have during the party? I warned you not to drink anything with alcohol!"

"I dint!" Wendy slurred. "Ro'eo n I just drank punch!"

Realizing the truth the white-furred Exceed simply shook her head and turned to Happy.

"Hey! Tomcat! Help me get her back home! Two ladies should not be traveling outside alone like this."

With that finality Happy flew over to the young mage and helped his fellow Exceed pull the girl out of the apartment and back towards Fairy Hills.

The four older mages were left alone in the apartment.

Lucy and Ezra smiled, they had been holding back from the real gossip, knowing that poor young Wendy would be scared if she knew. But since the Exceeds had taken the task to fly her home, there was no longer a need to hold back.

"Rza! Gajiil an Levy are sooooooo toge'er! Dishu see how they were da'cin?"

"DERS NO WAY THEY'RE TOGE'ER! I WOULDA SHEEN IT COM'IN!"

Natsu and Gray just watched the careless drunk and the angry drunk from a distance.

"Mavis, I'm so boooored!"

"Shuttup ya Flame Brain! Shou want to get Erza ana case? Shou shaw what happ'nd last time she was drunk."

Natsu did shut up, not wanting to feel the rage that was Drunk Erza. However, that didn't cure his boredom.

"Oi! Ice Prick! Waddaya say we play a prank on the girls?" Natsu was sure to whisper-yell just to make sure neither Erza nor Lucy caught on to his plan.

He knew Drunk Lucy wouldn't care, a drunk Erza on the other hand…

"SHOU CRAZY!"

This definitely got the girl's attention.

"Grraay. Natssssu. Do I hear fighting?"

Man, Erza was even scarier when she wasn't yelling at them.

Immediately, Natsu and Gray put their arms around each other.

"N-no Erza! We're best friends, why w-would we fight?"

Lucky for them, Lucy mentioned something about Mira and Laxus and Erza immediately turned her attention back to Lucy.

"So, wanna do it?"

Gray looked around. Lucy apartment was pretty boring for the most part; there was nothing there to entertain him.

And it also looked like the girls were not going to give up on their- what had Lucy called it? Shipping wars? It made no sense to Gray, where they talking about boats or people?

The point was, yeah, Gray was pretty bored and the more he thought about it, the more tempted he was to give in.

Eh, what the heck, why not?

With a sigh, Gray gave in.

"Ok, waddaya wanna do Flame Breath?"

Natsu grinned wide. Crap, maybe this hadn't been the best idea, but it was too late to back out now.

And so, Natsu told Gray his plan.

In all honesty, his plan was all you could expect from a drunk person: it was silly, stupid, childish, dangerous, it sounded like it could get them killed at the hands of one of their own teammates, and it sounded like a hellotta fun.

Standing from the couch they had claimed, the boys made their way across the room, making sure to be quiet as to not alert the girls of their plan.

Lucy took a quick glance at them but said nothing.

Erza was another matter.

"WHERE SHOU TWO GOIN?"

"Just gonna go get more booze!"

Gray looked at Natsu in surprise. That… was actually a pretty good excuse. He remembered how Erza had asked for more booze the last time she had been drunk.

Erza let out a satisfied grunt and let them proceed to the kitchen.

Quietly and quickly, the boys moved around the kitchen, looking for a bucket.

"Come on! Lushi hasta hav one! I now she cleans!"

"Pfft! Evry'one cleans mo than shou do Flametard!"

Natsu chose to ignore the comment because right at that moment, he had found what he was looking for.

The process of setting up their prank was quick.

Gray made the floor near the kitchen door slippery with his ice after Natsu had placed the bucket above the door.

It was simple, their plan.

They would make the girls rush into the kitchen with the slightly open door that held the bucket of water. Obviously, they would slip on the ice and the water in the bucket would drench them completely.

The next step was getting the girls into the kitchen.

Gray was entirely at loss with what to do.

Natsu, it seemed though, had a lot more experience at pranking.

All he did was grab a napkin that was sitting on Lucy's table. He lit it on fire and put it near the fire detectors.

The reaction was instantaneous.

Lucy and Erza rushed down the hall suddenly sober, the both of them.

"NATSU DRAGNEEL IF YOU BURN MY KITCHEN I WILL END YOU!"

They were running too fast to notice the ice until it was too late.

Lucy and Erza both crashed on the floor opening the door in the process.

The bucket, filled with water, fell down, drenching both girls and landing on Erza's head.

They boys could not stop laughing the alcohol in their systems long burned out. Seeing the state of the girls, they high-fived each other.

They hadn't pulled a prank together like this since they were 13 years old.

In the next second, they remembered why they had stopped.

The ladies were now both on their feet, faces far too calm to be real, and more than definitely sober.

The boys' laughter took a nervous tone until it simmered down to and uneasy chuckle.

Fairy Tail was known for their strong mages, both male and female. But what none of those people understood was that the females were as scary as they were powerful. They were doomed; one glance at the girls and anyone would see it.

Gray backed away slowly, calculating his best escape route.

Never again would he go along with one of Natsu's pranks.

So yeah, this was day 4.

Sorry for updating so late!
