Sorry for the super long update! Really, even I can't believe it took me this long to get rid of this 'writers block'! I really, sincerely, apologize for those people who have been waiting from last year until now! So sorry!
"So what are you gonna order?"
"The usual."
"…pepper-loving idiot with weird hair."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? AT LEAST I DON'T STRIP WHEREVER I GO!"
"WHAT? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S TRUE?"
Lucy fidgeted in her seat, nervously looking at the two delinquents that had brought her to this normal looking (yes, a normal looking) restaurant.
Natsu glared at Gray, who glared back the same hatred in the other's eyes. Everyone around had scooted their seats away from their table. Lucy couldn't blame them; she herself could practically see the tension between the two.
Lucy saw a waitress wanting to come over but then hesitated and then walked over to them slowly.
"Um, excuse me…," the waitress interrupted and the two boys turned their glares to her instead, earning themselves a whimper. "M-may I take you order?"
Gray took off his uniform shirt as his dark look deepened. I want…shaved ice. The strawberry one."
Natsu cracked his knuckles. "I want the spice-peppered fish. Two plates."
There was a long silence. The corner of Lucy's mouth twitched. The waitress sweat dropped. "O-okay…what would you like, miss?"
Lucy looked at the menu and started flipping the pages before realization struck her. "WAIT A MINUTE," Lucy yelled standing up and stomping a foot on the table, scaring the waitress. "What am I doing?"
Natsu raised an eyebrow, looking at her like she had grown two heads. "You're ordering food of course."
Lucy stared at him like he became a dragon or something. Gray looked back at the waitress. "She doesn't need anything."
Lucy's jaw dropped. 'I didn't say anything yet!'
As the waitress slowly walked away, Natsu sat back on his seat and lifted both his feet on the table. Gray proceeded to take off his pants…
"Oh shi-"Gray started to say when girls started to take out their cell phones and take pictures of the 'almost' naked Gray.
Lucy slumped in her seat as she looked at the two, sweat rolling down her face. She was determined to find the answer to what she was going to ask now.
"Why did you bring me here…?" Lucy carefully asked. Natsu turned to her and blinked as Lucy edged away from him, thinking he might do something to her.
Gray put on his shirt and crossed his arms. "Didn't we tell you that like, five minutes ago?"
Did they? Lucy couldn't remember though she did remember students from other school glaring at them as they passed by them on the streets.
Natsu grinned evilly, his eyes giving off an evil look. Lucy moved a bit more, unconsciously getting closer to Gray. Lucy then jumped when her arm touched Gray's.
Lucy looked at Gray, surprised, while Gray looked back at her, confused. His arm was very…cold. Too cold that not even one human could stand it. Lucy could've sworn it felt like dry-ice. Lucy looked at the arm and noticed that Gray was very pale. It was like he had never seen the sun before.
"Hello? Luigi? Hello?" A hand waved at her in front of her face, snapping her out of her thoughts. Natsu was sitting very close to her now and, for some reason, Lucy felt the temperature was getting higher…
Lucy screamed as she delivered a blow in Natsu's stomach, making him spit saliva out of his mouth. The people around screamed at the sudden scream and rushed out the restaurant. The waitress that had all their ordered food yelped and tripped on the floor, dropping the shaved ice cream and the fish. Gray gasped in horror as he rushed to his fallen ice cream's side. "No! Why did this happen?" he cried, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Natsu held his stomach and coughed, his face getting pale. "M-mah fish…"
"Natsu…Gray…what are you doing…?"
Lucy jumped in surprise. Natsu's face changed from pain to horror. Gray stopped crying and actually squeaked. The waitress gasped and crawled as fast as she can away from the three people…no, make it four people.
Lucy looked up slowly and found herself staring at a very (VERY) pretty girl with long red hair that seemed to shine…though that was half the reason why she started at her. Another reason was because of the armor she was wearing.
The girl crossed her arms, giving the two boys a disapproving look. "Are you two fighting again? HUH?"
Lucy squeaked when she saw the girl's face darken and could've sworn she saw murder in those eyes. It gave her the chills!
There was some shuffling and then immediately, Natsu and Gray hung their arms over each other. "W-what are ya talking about Erza? We weren't fighting!"
Lucy's eyes widened when she remembered Natsu talking about Erza along the way (though only the name). Was she supposed to meet this person?
Erza's face softened and a smile appeared on her face. She gave a sigh. "Yes, of course. Friends shouldn't fight unless it s necessary. To see such a good friendship between you two touches my heart."
Lucy's mouth twitched. She was surrounded by strange people…
Erza's smile disappeared. "So where is this Luigi person?"
Natsu roughly pushed Gray away and pointed at the table they were sitting while grinning. "She's right th-"
He stopped and the three looked at the now empty table.
Lucy ran as fast as lightning down the streets, making dusts fly everywhere behind her.
'That girl Erza…she must be one of them!' Lucy thought as she zipped past some people. She thought back to the restaurant, thinking about the girl. She had worn an armor that seemed to be made of steel. She was also able to make Natsu and Gray become weird…
'She is definitely not normal…glad I got a chance to escape…' Lucy knew she could not cause another wreck. Levy warned (and begged) her not to destroy anything in public. And that Erza seemed to be very strong…could even be stronger than her…
"THERE YOU ARE!"
Lucy yelped when she heard a familiar voice. Glancing behind, she gasped in horror when she saw Natsu and Gray running after her- and gaining up fast.
"No! Go away! And my name's not Luigi!" Lucy yelled and ran around the corner only to find Erza standing there with a…sword in her hand…
Lucy skidded to a stop and she stared in fear. Natsu and Gray caught u and stood behind her. Natsu panted. "Man, do you run fast!"
Lucy did not know what to say.
"Did you tie her up tightly?"
"Yep, now she won't be able to move."
"Mmph!"
Lucy sat on a bench, a gag in her mouth. Her hands were tied up and her feet were tied together. This was not the worst part. People around started at them, in awe and surprise. Some even took pictures.
Erza huffed. "You are a very sneaky spy. I'm impressed you're able to run that fast. Guess we cannot underestimate THAT school's spies."
Lucy stopped struggling. What was she talking about?
Natsu stood on the bench next to her. "Speak, Luigi, if that is even your true name. What is your school planning to do to us?"
Lucy looked at him before making some weird sounds.
Natsu bent down. "What? Can't hear ya!"
Gray sighed. "You dummy. The gag."
Natsu glared at Gray. "What did you say?"
Erza's face darkened. "Are you fighting? Gray? Natsu?"
Natsu sweat dropped, gulping. "What are you talking about? We're friends; we're not fighting."
Erza ignored him and turned to Lucy before taking out the gag. Lucy let out a big sigh of relief.
Suddenly Erza took out her sword again and pointed it at Lucy. "Now, tell me. What is your school planning?"
Lucy tried moving away from the sharp pointy sword. "I'm not a spy! And what do you mean planning? I came to this school as a transfer student-"
Natsu interrupted her. "You threw a rock at me. You THREW me."
"Because you were attacking an innocent person!"
Erza looked at Natsu who looked at Lucy with shock. "What the hell do you mean? That person was the spy from our rival school YOU came from. Our men were beaten to the ground because of you guys!"
"Well y…wait what?" Lucy was confused. Gray rubbed the back of his head. "This one is hard to get info out of. What do you suggest, Erza?"
Erza narrowed her eyes at Lucy who shivered at the dark look. "We'll bring her to Makarov. He'll know what to do."
'The principal?' Lucy thought. Why was the principal involved? What are they gonna do to her? Why were they dragging her by the feet to…somewhere?
"H-hey! What are you going to do to me?" Lucy cried out. Natsu, who was behind them, accidentally stepped on Lucy's face, who now had a footprint on her face. Without giving her a chance to snap at him, he said with a grin, "We're going to force out your plan even if we have to hurt you!"
Lucy stared in horror. They were going to hurt her for something she didn't know about? By now, she could've done something but her feet were bound, including her hands. It was kind of weird; Lucy was known for the best 'rope-breaker' but there ropes looked like iron wires.
Erza stopped moving and turned around, staring at Lucy. "We should knock her out; she might know the exact location of our base."
Gray crouched down beside Lucy. "You're right. Maybe I should-"
Natsu slapped Gray away. "I should do it! For payback!"
Natsu grinned evilly at the scared blonde. "Good night, Luigi."
Before Lucy could say something and correct him her name, something hit her on the neck and she fainted away.
