¨Natsu, go away, I'm reading."
¨Stop botherin me, Gajeel,its exciting.¨
¨Jellal, not now.¨
¨Juvia is sorry, Gray-sama. But she has to finish this book.¨
Normally it was unusual for Juvia to send Gray away, no matter which situation she was in. When the ice-mage came back to the table the other guys were sitting at, he could not hide the dejected look on his face. That Lucy or Levy sent Natsu or Gajeel away when they were reading was normal, Erza did the same to Jellal occasionally. But never before had Juvia sent him away! This was not how they worked. He was supposed to be the rejecting tsundere. She had rejected him for a book.
For a collection of letters on some paper, bound together. Finally he understood what Natsu and Gajeel were always going on about.
He gritted his teeth. "We have to do something about this." "We should burn these things.", Natsu suggested and Gajeel agreed to him. Jellal instead shook his head "I've got a plan guys..."
¨Luce go away, I'm reading!¨
¨Shrimp, go away, it's exciting.¨
¨Erza, no.¨
¨I'm sorry Juvia¨
The clouds over the guild got a suspiciously gray color when Juvia returned to where the girls were sitting. ¨You've got to be kidding me. They pretend to read a book out of revenge?¨, Lucy pouted. The moment the girls had finished their books, the guys had come and pulled the books out of their hands, sat down and began to read.
¨Actually Lu-chan, I think they really are reading. Gajeel often tried to snatch my books away from me and pretended read them... It's different from that, his eyes are moving naturally, not forced. The same applies to the other guys.¨, Levy argued and the four females turned to the four males that were all engrossed in the books they were holding. "Juvia thinks we should let them finish their books in silence.¨, the bluenette smiled tenderly. Of course she did not want some book about a stone avert her Gray-sama's attention from her, but she loved the book and Gray-sama seemed to enjoy the book as well. They could have a deep discussion and watch the adaption on a movie lacrima.
Erza suddenly jumped in her seat ¨Girls, I have an idea...¨
He was relieved and sad at the same time when he put down the book. He would have to ask Juvia about the follow up book some time he just had to read the sequel. He looked around the group of males he sat with and noticed they were on the last pages of the book. Patiently he waited for the others to finish the book and when Jellal had set down his (well actually Erza's) copy, he stood up to get four beers for them and give Juvia back her book.
Standing up he noticed Juvia, Levy, Lucy and Erza nearing their table. It was not the fact that the four came towards them that surprised him, but rather what they were holding.
Gray heard Natsu mutter ¨Bloody Hell!¨, behind him and realized that the two Dragon Slayers had finished the book as well.
¨So what did you think of it?¨, Erza asked after putting down the tray with cups of hot beverages on the table. She took a seat next to Jellal and looked into the round. ¨That was awesome. At first I didn't really get what the stone had to with it, but after it was explained it all made sense.¨, Jellal explained and helped Erza hand everyone at their table. ¨At first I thought how stupid it was that they needed wands for magic, but when I realized their understanding of magic must simply be different from ours it was pretty cool.¨, Natsu nodded looking at the bowl of candy Lucy had placed in the middle of the table. ¨That game their playing on those things must be pretty cool. Just imagine hitting a metal ball to hurt someone, gihi.¨, Gajeel grinned and Levy rolled her eyes, passing each of the people at the table a purple pentagon box. ¨But that guy really has a lot going on for his eleven years... Wait a second are those?¨, Gray asked after Juvia revealed the pastry she had concealed with a plastic lid. ¨Erza made, with Mira's help, some pumpkin juice, Juvia baked a huge pumpkin pastry, Levy made some chocolate frogs completely with cards and everything, and I, with the help of my spirits, was able to create our own Bertie Botts'¨
¨So now let's talk about the book... what did you think of Dudley..¨
And as their conversation went on they discovered the beauty of books by discussing about a 11 year old wizard fighting his archenemy about a philosopher stone.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
