"I brought anything we could ever want." Erza announces. "I brought pizza, chips, ice cream and of course the cake is in the fridge. I brought juice and pop and if anyone wants coffee it's there somewhere. Popcorn is ready to be popping and new pyjamas are laid out."

"Wow, you really took care of everything." Cana says. "Except my beer. Oh well, I thought this might happen."

"We need you sober for this night to actually work out the way I want." Erza says with a glare. "No one drinks an ounce of alcohol tonight. It's a serious night."

The girls look at one another one by one. They all just stand there not knowing what to do. Juvia clears her throat. "Uhm, shall we get started then? We can choose whatever pair of pyjamas we want right? And get the food going?"

Erza nods. "I already have the pizza heating up and the ice cream in the freezer."

"Okay well what are we waiting for?" Levy asks. She steps up and picks an orange coloured pyjama off the ground. Juvia picks up a blue one. One by one the girls pick out a pyjama to change into. Lucy chooses a pink colour.

"What room are we even going to be in?" Lisanna asks. Most of the girls begin to change already into their pyjamas, Lucy included. Girls like Wendy, however, goes to the wash room for privacy.

Erza looks around the lobby. "How about here in the lobby? It's big enough. Not to mention the kitchen is right next door."

"Mm, good point." Bisca says, plopping on one of the couches. "It's getting dark out, we should probably start before we get tired."

"So did you leave Asuka in Alzack's hands?" Evergreen questions, taking a seat next to the green haired mother. Bisca nods. "Good, cuz I'm not very fond of kids."

Lucy moves to sit in the couch across from them. Mira takes a seat on her right and Cana takes a seat to her left. Erza grabs the chips and throws a bag on each couch. She takes a seat with Lisanna. Across from those two sit Wendy, Juvia and Levy.

"I seriously hate salt and vinegar." Evergreen complains.

"We're going to rotate so we can all have some chips from each bag." Erza explain. "Anyway, let's begin! Obviously I called for this 'slumber party' because of the lack of communication we have with one another. Now before we get into anything, I want all of us girls to feel safe here. Whatever we talk about remains between us. We're here to help one another, okay?"

The girls nod one by one. Erza smiles pleasantly. "We're gonna start with a topic we've probably all had trouble with at some point. Weight. Alright, so let's start with Lucy."

Lucy, not knowing what to say, stares at Mira. Mira nudges her with her elbow and mouths beginning. Lucy nods and takes a deep breath. "Uhm, okay, well... I guess it kind of began when I really started to take in what Happy always said about me being so heavy. He just kept saying it all the time so I kind of took it to heart."

"He's a cat." Bisca says while chewing on sour cream and onion chips. "He's weak, of course he's going to think you're heavy. He's just not strong enough to hold you up."

"Then how does he hold up Natsu? Or Gray?" Lucy questions.

"I can tell you right now you weigh less than both of them, Lucy. I know because I've picked their asses up one too many times." Erza says. Even at just the thought she has to shut her eyes with annoyance. "You can tell the difference between the weights."

Lucy rolls her eyes. "They weigh more because they have muscle."

"That could also be true. But even still, Happy would have been able to tell the difference in weights." Cana says, patting Lucy's shoulder. "Not to mention Happy's just like that. He probably only does it to get under your skin."

"Natsu picks you up as if you weigh nothing at all." Juvia comments. "So does Gray, and Erza! You have nothing to worry about."

Lucy nods but can't quite believe in the words. She motions to Mira to go next. Mira taps her chin as the girls stare at her expectantly. "Well... It was always so pressuring to be skinny and beautiful for Sorcerer's Weekly. I was the pin-up model and the trophy of Fairy Tail, but that's such a burdensome title. There were days I would only run on water to maintain my image. But after the seven year gap I stopped doing that and realized it wasn't right."

"That's understandable." The girls all agree to Lisanna's statement. "To be honest Mira-nee, I was always jealous that the good looks went to you. But now I realize it wasn't all it was cut out to be. I'm actually glad, but still sad for you."

Mira laughs. "Oh, it's alright Lisanna. I'm glad you're happy."

"Well I am and always have been on a strict diet to maintain my image." Evergreen says. "Mainly plants. Fruits and Veges were my go-to. 8 glasses of water a day at least. I'm pretty dedicated to it, but for today I think I'll make an exception."

"I never really thought of weight as something too important. Of course I was on a diet too and tried to maintain an image as well, I always thought other things were more important." Bisca says warmly. "After getting pregnant I just stopped caring about my body because it doesn't matter what I look like, I know Alzack will always love me."

"He definitely loves it in the sheets." Cana says with a wink, causing all the girls to squeal and laugh as Bisca throws a couch cushion at Cana. "Oh, sorry, I had to. But I'll try to refrain for Wendy's sake."

Wendy looks down. "I've always been so flat-chested. I don't have to pay attention to what I eat, no matter what I remain flat-chested and twig-like. I know a lot of you want this kind of body and would say I'm gonna regret not liking my body now, but I would prefer a body like any of yours."

"I have the same problem." Levy says understandingly. "I really hope you don't end up like me Wendy."

"My situation is kind of the same." Lisanna says. "I just feel so disproportioned."

"Because Juvia's body is made of water, Juvia can mold it the way she wants to." Juvia says with a modest smile. "Juvia wishes you guys had the same ability so you wouldn't feel the way you do about your bodies..."

Lucy smiles. "That's sweet Juvia."

"What about you Erza?" Wendy questions.

Erza smiles. "I don't pay attention to that stuff. I try to get as much muscle as possible without looking masculine. In the end it does add a few excess pounds. But that might also be from my cakes, but I'm not gonna stop having those. Oh! That reminds me of the red velvet cake in the fridge!"

Erza's mouth begins to water. The girls laugh and turn their attention to Cana. Cana sighs. "Okay, I'll admit it. I have a problem. Alcohol makes me bloated and gross, so most of the time I just drink instead of eat, that way I won't have a food baby. But I should probably stop that..."

"Yeah, no kidding." Levy comments. "Have you ever tried water?"

"Hey," Cana says a bit hurtfully and angrily. A few of the girls cover their mouths and try to hold back laughter.

"I have to go to the washroom." Lucy announces, standing from her seat. Mira follows immediately. Lucy gives her a confused look but Mira smiles back nonchalantly. Lucy heads for the washroom with Mira trailing her. Lucy enters the washroom and is surprised when Mira enters with her. "What are you doing?"

Mira smiles apologetically. "Sorry, I promised Natsu to keep an eye on you."

Lucy sigh. I knew it. She thinks to herself before standing in front of the toilet. She's about to take off her pants when she realizes Mira's still watching. Lucy blushes and motions for Mira to turn. Mira turns quickly. "Oh! Sorry."

Lucy tries to be quick but can't help being embarrassed by the noise. Mira doesn't attention to anything though, to which Lucy is grateful for. Lucy finishes quickly and flushes the toilet before washing her hands thoroughly. The two head back to the lobby and sit back in their own seats.

"Next subject!" Erza says quickly. She passes her and Lisanna's bag of chips over and they rotate their chip bags. After a small pause she smirks. "Boys. And this time we'll start with Cana."

Cana sighs. She jokingly says, "I hate all of you, you know that? I'm still looking for a good guy but since all the young ones are taken, I've been searching in other places. Like... A certain mage from Quatro Puppy."

"I knew it!" Lisanna says with a clap of her hands. She has a proud smile as she and Cana share a knowing smirk.

"Juvia only loves Gray and Gray only." Juvia says quickly, eyeing every single girl slowly, making sure they clearly get the message that Gray is hers.

Erza sighs. "Because I'm the one who wants everyone to be 100% honest, I'll just go ahead and say I'm waiting for Jellal. After he's cleared his name, there may finally be a chance of the two of us getting together..."

Mira squirms happily in her seat at the news. She's all smiles and thumbs ups to Erza, who blushes the colour of her hair. "I'm so happy to hear that! Jellal is a really good guy and he's working hard to clear his name. I bet you two will be together in no time."

"Thank you, Mira." Erza smiles back. "Maybe we can go on double dates."

"Uhm, what? Double dates?" Lisanna asks.

Mira blushes. "Well, you see, I'm kind of in a relationship with Laxus. And since Laxus is 'bros' with Jellal, and Erza and I are best friends, then it kind of makes sense for us to go on double dates when the time is right."

"Wait... You're with Laxus?!" Lisanna stands up from her seat. Lucy's eyebrows raise up and a few of the girls mouths hang open. Mira nods her head. "Well then we can double date too because I'm with Freed!"

"What?! You're in a relationship with Freed?!" Cana exclaims. The rest of the girls grow even more shocked. Cana shakes her head. "I thought that guy was gay..."

"He is not gay!" Lisanna says with a pout. "He just has a weird way of expressing himself, alright? He's actually the sweetest and most considerate boyfriend. So don't say stuff like that, it hurts him a lot to hear nonsense like that."

Cana raises her hands up in defence. Bisca speaks up to change the subject. "Well I'm obviously happy with Alzack so..."

"Wendy?" Erza says. All eyes turn to the little blue haired girl.

Wendy blushes. "Well after the time-gap, Romeo got really handsome and grew very well, so I kind of... Have a little crush on him..."

"Awe! That's the cutest thing!" Lisanna comments, causing the girl to blush more.

Levy shifts in her seat, feeling a little uncomfortable. When everyone turns to stare at her she squirms and looks up at Lucy. "I'm going to be honest, only because we're supposed to be and that's what this night is all for. I like Gajeel. Okay Lucy's turn."

"Was that really that hard to say? Okay well everyone knew that anyway." Cana says with a roll of her eyes. "Lucy, your turn. How's Natsu these days?"

Lucy blushes. "Oh my god! Who said I liked Natsu?"

Every single one of them roll their eyes. "Oh come on, we all know it anyway."

Lucy sighs. "Okay fine, I like Natsu. But he doesn't like me back so I mean-"

"Oh shut the hell up." Cana says with annoyance. "Don't even start with that crap. He's in love with you and we can all vouch for that."

"What she said." The rest of the girls agree.

Lucy scoffs. "Okay, no. He really doesn't guys-"

Lisanna giggles. "Oh Lucy. I've known Natsu for a very long time, so have most of us. We know him like the back of our hands. I remember I had the same problem with him when I was younger. But trust me, he likes you."

"How do you know...?"

"Because even though he liked me back in the day, he never looked at me like that."

"Like what? There's a certain way he looks?" Lucy asks, confused. But she can't help but feel happy, and even a flicker of hope. Maybe he does like her... Only time will be able to tell. "It;s just hard to accept."

"Love is love, you'll find out eventually." Mira says with a wink.
