Disclaimer: Once upon a time, there was a Mangaka name Hiro Mashima. With a stroke with his uhh..brush pen, he made a popular manga called Fairy Tail. And waaaaay in the background is small figure barely seen to the naked eye, making this story…
Chapter 4
The plane's engine slowly stopped running and the group stared at the flying contraption. No one moved a muscle. Well until the doors of the jet plane slid open. Out came a man with a suit and blue shaded glasses. His tannish hair spiked up like Natsu's but his face seem play-boyish than the pink haired successor.
The man adjusted his red tie and brushed off his neat suit while smiling at Mirajane and Lucy.
"What do we have here? Two lovely ladies!" His voice had a hint of flirt. 'Definitely a playboy' Lucy thought. The man went up to the white hair beauty and kissed her hand.
"It has been a long time since I seen you m'lady" He said, Mira giggled as if she was used to the man's flirty antics.
"It's been a long time Loke" She said and Loke smiled. Then his hazel eyes landed on Lucy and he almost immediately rushed to the Blonde. The man took her delicate hand and laid his lips on it.
"This one is definitely the prettiest maiden in the land" He said, Lucy blushed slightly as she gently took away her hand.
"How many times I told you to not hit on random girls" Natsu said as he punched the tannish haired man's arm. Loke grasped his arm and gave a sly smile to the gold eyed male.
"Sorry but I can't help it" Natsu then grinned displaying his disorder once more. Gray ran to Loke and gave him an handshake before putting his arm onto the pink haired man and tan haired man's shoulders.
"Loke! Long time no see" Gray said grinning.
"Gray! How are you? I haven't seen you since our last meeting" Loke said as returned Gray's handshake.
"That's right. How long ago was that?"
"About 4 months. How's the basketball career working out?"
"Going to the finals about two weeks from now" Gray said successfully. They continued to talk about sport related topics.
'What bromance…' Lucy thought to herself as she saw them. Lucy walked to Mira who staring worriedly at Natsu. But she turned to Loke's and Gray's conversation with a smile etched to her face.
"Oh by the way you're missing your clothes…" The tannish haired man pointed out. Gray looked down and shouts:
"What the hell?! I had them on the whole time!" Loke laughs as Gray scrambles around to look for his missing clothes.
"That never fails to keep me amused!" The suited man roars with laughter. Gray growled but he had a slight look of embarrassment on his face.
When Loke stopped laughing at the basketball player, he turned to the blonde again with a flirty smile.
"Hello my fair maiden!" He said with his arms spread wide open and he came running over to Lucy. Lucy prepared for the impact; she readied herself to dodge once he came. But instead of reaching the fair maiden, his face came intact with the snow.
"Uh sorry dude" Gray apologized. Since Loke had tripped over Gray's white hoodie. He carefully pulled out his hoodie from Loke's feet. "I'm just gonna take this"
"What did I say about hitting on random girls, literally?" Natsu smiles as he gave Loke his hand to lift him up. Loke gives a weak chuckle as he removed his face from the cold wet floor.
"Sorry, I told you I forget these things easily…But she is very beautiful indeed" Loke said eyeing Lucy again, she blushed again. Natsu looked back at the blonde and raised an eyebrow.
"I don't see it" Natsu observed.
Loke's mouth dropped open and Lucy flinched at this comment.
"Clearly she is an angel sent from the skies above! You have to admit she looks prettier than L-"
Natsu froze as Loke suddenly realized what he had said. Natsu's golden eyes were suspicious.
"I-I-I m-mean doesn't s-s-she look prettier than…L-Lyon?" Loke stammered. His forehead beaded with sweat. Lucy obviously knew he was lying but that calmed Natsu down. 'Lyon? Isn't that a guy's name?'
"You think Lyon is pretty? You are gay?" Natsu asked before laughing uncontrollably and Loke twitched.
"No! I was just- I was just- trying to! And-"Loke stammered trying to change it but the damage was done. Natsu thinks Loke is gay…
The man sat depressed on the ground, despite the coldness. You can practically see the aura of depression.
"Is Loke an unlucky as well?" Lucy said, gesturing her thumb toward the tannish haired man. Immediately, the depress marks disappeared and the man came dashing again. Natsu grimaced at Loke and sat down on the white snow.
"You know my name, hime" The man said and he pushed his shaded glasses up. "But I still don't know yours" He once again went to kiss the blonde's hand but Lucy gently pulled it away, politely.
"The name's Lucy and please don't do that again" She warned but Loke smiled greatly. Mira stared at them as if to make another love matcher comment but she kept quiet. Gray guffawed at Lucy's comment.
"Lucy… even your name sounds magnificent!" Loke clasped his hands together in delight and Natsu sighed to himself, knowing that Loke will never learn.
"To answer your question before, Loke is also an Unlucky" He said. Loke mutters something weakly, it sounded like an agreement. Natsu didn't make any further discussion.
"So do you protect him as well?" Lucy asked. Natsu paused but nods wryly.
"That's…" Lucy started.
"Stupid?" Natsu guessed. His voice shifted to agitation. "Idiotic? Gay? Weird?" Natsu listed.
"No. I found it sweet…" Lucy said giving the cold man a warm smile. Natsu eyed her with suspicion and with shock.
Loke had gotten up and stared at the girl and the boy. He pointed his finger connecting the blonde and the pink haired man.
"Are you guys together?"
"No" Lucy said. Natsu seemed confused at Loke's question and doesn't answer.
"I see..." Loke murmurs.
"So let's get to Akane Ski resort" Natsu concludes, motioning everyone to the small jet. "My phone needs to charge" He adds.
"What? We're still going to the resort?" Lucy asks, she gripped her jacket sleeve tightly. She remembers the horrible memory of her old boyfriend and the same evil laughter flashed through her memory. She felt her heart pang repeatedly.
"Well, duh!" Natsu's mood suddenly shifts. "Where else can we go? There must already be a missing reports about the bus so we might as well hide for a bit"
"To the place where we originally suppose to go to?"
"Yeah"
"Where our FIELD TRIP is suppose to go to?" Lucy asked once more.
"Yeah so?" Natsu asked. Lucy felt like she wanted to slap her forehead.
Natsu took out his phone and showed the blonde. "If you're referring to us as being students, I called my hacker and she switched our school to Fairy Academy. I also told her to change the date to two months ago" Lucy stared wondrously at the screen which displayed his proof. "No one expects a thing" Natsu adds while giving a sly smile.
"But my stuff-"
"Will be provided"
"And the prices?"
"All ready taken of"
"Eh? How?"
"I own the resort. That's why I paid nothing for the field trip" he explained.
"Why don't I find that surprising?" Lucy sighed.
"Well sorry if I'm ruining this conversation but we have to get going" Gray said.
Lucy finally let the information sink in. She turns to Gray and Mirajane. "Are you guys joining us as well?"
Mirajane giggled lightly. "We requested Loke to bring our stuff. Its inside the plane right now" Lucy smiled and she felted comforted. "But Lucy, will your parents be worried about you?"
Lucy's expression grew dark and defensive. "I live by myself. I can stay away as long as I want. But can I please call my manager and tell him that my vacation may be over a week. Mirajane nodded and gave the blonde, her phone. She walked away from the group. Mirajane watched Lucy's silhouette, the blonde looked disgruntled. The white haired woman looked worried.
"By the way, your dad is going to kill you" Gray turned and suddenly said sing-songly.
Natsu raised his narrow eyebrow at him. His gold eyes flashed with confusion.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asked wearily.
"You are forgetting something?" Gray said giving him a hint. He motioned the part near his neck (another hint).
Natsu's eyes widened and he cursed repeatedly. "DAMN IT!" Gray just smirked.
Loke stood up; he patted his suit clean and bowed in a gentleman way.
"Everyone ready to see Igneel?"
"Igneel-san is going to meet us there?" Mirajane asked. Natsu groaned and muttered something like old man. He sulked back to the group, in a childish manner. Loke nodded.
"Igneel-san was planning to surprise you at Akane resort but you guys didn't arrive as scheduled" Loke directed his words toward Natsu. "He's pissed that his surprise was ruined" Loke added. Natsu pulled at his collar, nervously.
"I guess we have to get going" Mira said, then she pats her pink parka jacket and entered the jet plane. Gray unconsciously tossed his dark blue jacket to the side and followed Mira. Loke sighed and lifted three of his fingers as a sign. He counted down until one and almost immediately Gray ran to find the missing jacket. Loke chuckled quietly and walked in a formal way to the flying vehicle.
Lucy started to follow but she looked back. The only person who didn't seem eager to leave was the pink haired, golden eyed man. Lucy raised a blonde eyebrow at him in question. But she was surprised to see that instead of his normal scowl, Natsu's face was deathly pale.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked. Gray's head popped out from the opening of the airplane.
"Bet he's afraid of getting his butt whooped by his dad!" Gray guffawed but Lucy knew it was something else. The way Natsu fidgets, how he stares at the helicopter as if it was a death trap, how sweat appears on his forehead every time he stares at it.
"Do you have a problem with jets?" Lucy asked Natsu who gulped, more sweat beaded upon his face. She never seen Natsu act like this before.
"Not jets! All transportation!" Loke's voice was heard within the helicopter. Gray started to laugh and Mira's soft giggle was heard as well.
"So he…" Luce started.
"...Will die if he rides on any" Gray finished sarastically. Lucy's lips formed a smile and later became laughter. Natsu glared at the group as if to curse them all the way to hell.
"I don't have any problems with transportation!" Natsu argues child-like and to prove it, he straightens up and steps walks toward his "Death trap". Lucy trailed after him. There stood Natsu proudly with his hands on his hips as victorious; he took a brave step onto the jet plane.
"See! I don't get-"He was immediately interrupted by small barfs and he fell onto the carpeted floor of the jet.
"The plane didn't move yet!" They all shouted except Mirajane who giggled at Natsu's expense. Natsu started to crawl toward the door leading to outside. Loke noticed this.
"Quickly start the plane Capricorn-san!" Loke yelled to the person operating the vehicle. The person had a resemblance to a goat and he quickly auto-ed the plane to close its doors. Natsu's fingertips were close to freedom until the mechanical walls were solid shut. His arm collapsed in defeat as the contraption began to rumble to life. Natsu made more barf sounds and swirls replaced his normal golden eyes. Mirajane placed herself on a comfy seat and grabbed a "Weekly Sorcerer" magazine. Gray took a seat beside Mira; he laid back and put his arms behind his head and grinned at Natsu's pain. Lucy took a seat on the other side of Mira, looking at the pages of models with the white haired beauty. Loke immediately took the available seat beside Lucy.
"You would just have to wait patiently until the jet reaches Akane ski resort" Mirajane said trying to make Natsu relax while flipping a page of the magazine but it made him more agitated. Natsu began to groan louder and louder.
"How long until we reach Akane Resort?" Lucy asked, her eyes on Natsu. Gray just shrugged. But Loke answered her question.
"3 to 4 hours" Natsu made another loud groan. Loke chuckled with Gray while the girls started to laugh along with the guys. Natsu rolled face up and gave them a look of disgust.
Their laughter can be heard so the woodland creatures as the plane soared over, can hear it as well.
"I hate you all…" That only made them laugh louder.
