Chapter Three: Meetings and Preparations
DAY ONE: Formal Shoes and Manners
"Natsu, when you walk, you don't look at your shoes!" Lucy said as she tapped her heels vigorously at the floor.
"Eh? Igneel didn't even teach me how to tie some shoes! I even insisted myself in wearing sandals myself!" He said as he tried to walk with poise.
"Oh, howbout this..I'll treat you guys for the whole month if you did not mess with our client..got it?" she sighed knowing that it wasn't much of a good deal, though if it is a way to please their client and have their guild be reknown of having the Great Salamander be poised would make such a good help.
Anyway their Fairy Festival became a success, surprisingly, they became more trusted and cherished by the children because of their nakama power and their strength and their beliefs about comrades—some of them want to be mages someday and others want to be like the S-Class Mages which is: Erza, Mirajane, Laxus and Gildarts. Natsu had his own fans and they even gave him a shirt: "Burn those buttholes to a crisp!" Right now, he's wearing it—which made Lucy laugh. Lucy also has fans, they are children and explorers who want to know about the Heavens and more, she earned fans since 8 years ago..and at the fact that they're now teens, she's happy that they still remember and "praise" her.
"One…Two..Three! Don't look down when you're walking!" Lucy said as she tapped the ruler on her desk.
"What will happen if I don't look down? Obviously I might slip! I know you put some hidden bananas on the ground Luce.." Natsu glared as he had a hard time.
DAY TWO: Elegance and Manners
"Oh Natsu, what fine clothes you have!" Lucy pretended that she was English and she wore heavy make-up like the ones that are on Royal Palace.
"Of course my dear Heartfilia, I must compliment you with how refine you look today! How is the weather?" Natsu asked as he looked like a real prince, Lucy insisted for him to wear a wig that made him look like a council member of England, Lucy blushed at what Natsu said—Refined? She thought.
"The weather does look lovely! A perfect weather for a sip of a cup of tea!" Lucy stood up from her seat and she took some the teapot and 2 cups but only what Natsu did was…
"Yeah my dear Heartfilia, I shall be boiling the tea that you made of some-sort…and you shall earn the best tea ever!" His face became dark and his hand was engulfed by flames.
"Natsu, with that kind of state you're not only going to boil the tea but the whole kitchen!" Lucy spanked the back of Natsu's head.
"Ow! Hey at least I'm now poise." Natsu grinned at her.
"Whatever…" she sighed.
Happy—since he was too naïve and he played the pranks of telling everybody in the guild on what's the progress, he wasn't forced to be sent to Charles to have the same practices that Natsu and Lucy are doing. Right now, they are trying to do the perfect manners except Natsu couldn't do it since he wasn't much of a person with Vocabulary.
DAY THREE: Clothes and Shopping
"Natsu, wait up! It's the first time I've seen you too eager about shopping!" Lucy giggled as they entered inside the clothing store.
"Of course, I'm going to tell the whole guild on how fat you'd look like at those silly English gowns!" Natsu grinned at what his plans were, and that is to embarrass Lucy without her knowing it—too late though.
"Natsu, you're too silly, I'm going to embarrass you too! You think you'd only get the fun?" Lucy glared at him.
"O-oh yeah..I think I won't do that..let's shop!" Natsu entered the shop holding Lucy's hands as they were assisted by two people.
It was exactly August 5, X791 and Mirajane decided to do her kind-of-a-fail project. She didn't want to switch into someone she's not and so she has decided to cancel up the request but do the plan she wanted 8 years ago.
"Oh hi Natsu and Lucy!" Mirajane wore the same clothes and she was sitting down by the benches sipping some Hot Mocha and biting up some Cake.
"Hey Mira, what are you doing here? Are you here to meet-up a client?" Lucy waved and decided to chatter along with these two idiots who decided to wait for the client. Lucy was wearing a red casual dresses and have put her hair up, while Natsu wore clothes seemingly the same with his original attires except he wore boots now.
"Yes, I'm meeting them by an hour later." Mirajane giggled at the dumbfounded smart head as she didn't know that she was the one who sent the requests.
"5…4….3…2…1" Then clock boomed a sound which meant it was 11:30 AM. Natsu and Lucy were about to stand up, but Mira asked to stay first. Mirajane took out a book from the bag and there she grinned like a mad-cat.
"I'm the one who sent the request to you guys..Arigatou Natsu and Lucy…but I just want to know what this book can do." Mirajane apologized though it wasn't sincere because this was still part of her plan.
"It's alright Mira! We know that and it seems that you need my help with decoding the book right? But..WOAH! The Book Realm of Fairy Tales?! That's like a magical book that can actually transport people inside the book!" Lucy gasped as she was about to take the mission without further ado.
"Sadly when I bought it, there's no magic left in it. I suspect that the one that I've bought actually casted a spell so that it was less magical from what is seems.." Mirajane lied.
"Oh..so you want us to know the spell and break it and we can decode what Mr. Rilon did to this book?! Wait…is this a mission or a prank?" Lucy eyed on Mirajane to see if she can identify what she's planning on she and Natsu.
"Well Lucy…I'm as eager as Levy to read your novel and I want to also help you with your success and dreams which is to have you a successful writer. Plus, here are your rewards, 100,000 Jewels in advance. I hope I wasn't a bad dealer.." Mirajane put an excuse and there revealed two sacks of jewels. 50,000 for Lucy and 50,000 for Natsu.
"W-wow…" Natsu stuttered.
"We're going to get this for free just to have Lucy borrow it?! That's really nice of you Mira!" Natsu hugged her.
"Yeah but you still have to decode the book..take that as a guild's request." Mirajane offered.
"We'll start now, thanks Mira!" Natsu and Lucy went out..jumping up and down like children as if they've received free foods.
"Mission completed.." she smirked as she whispered it to the person at the back—that person is the witch who sold it.
"You're much of an actress..though I don't know what would happen and you're right they do look more of a couple..Mira-san." The witch laughed.
"Oh it's nothing Veronica-san… It's part of being a matchmaker.." Mira laughed along the witch named Veronica.
What could possibly happen to the two?

Author's Note:
Okay so do you guys like hate Mirajane or not for her plans? I didn't quite make her plans clear but I hope that the plan's now clear to you guys! I actually hated Mira (a little bit) for tricking Natsu and Lucy of having them put inside the Book Realm but who cares if there's no Mirajane= no love! So comment on how you feel about Mira. Oh yeah, Vote, Comment and Share! The winner of the latest question is: NatsuDragionDragneel! Congrats, I'll be establishing those types of questions twice or thrice a week (:
Love lots,
Savie-chan
