Chapter 7: motorbike

Narrator P.O.V.

It was a nice summer evening where Fried and Mirajane were relaxing peacefully at Fried's house. Mirajane was sitting on the couch with a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. She was quietly thinking over something.

"Fried is dinner ready yet?"

"Almost so help me with it." He called out from the kitchen

"Fine" Mira got up and went in the kitchen to help.

"Oh so we're having pasta." She said picking up the two plates.

"Yep"

They both sat down and ate their dinner silently before Mira spoke up

"You want to help me with my plan some more? Now that you know what it is."

Fried sighed. "I really don't like the way you do these, but it's not like I have a choice, Right?"

"Right"

"So what is it this time?"

She smiled "I'll tell you after dessert."


Next day

Mirajane P.O.V.

"WHAT!" I flinched when Lucy yelled. Erza was just sitting there and eating a slice of Fried's new cake.

"Lucy calm down." I heard Erza say "But I am surprised too. You two said you weren't getting married till the middle of next year."

"Yeah well Fired wanted it to be earlier." I lied.

"I thought you guy might extended it than make it earlier, but then you guys have been going out far too long so I wouldn't take your time and still be engaged for another 3 years."

"Lucy do you have a problem that? We've been quite busy."

"Yeah, busy butting in people's business." Lucy added but she was quite right.

"Lucy face it, you and Natsu wouldn't have gotten together if it wasn't for Mira."

"That's right Erza."

"So where are you going to hold it?" Lucy said trying to change the subject

"I really don't know somewhere nice of course." I made a mental note in my head to talk to Fried about that.

"Yeah, wouldn't want their one to end up like yours."

"Erza got a problem with beach weddings? My one was so romantic." I heard Lucy say proudly.

"Nothing, except it was windy that day."

"Yeah that was disappointing, but at least Lucy and Natsu were happy."

"True."

"What are you doing here Gray?" I heard Lucy say then both Erza and I turned around to see Gray standing there.

"To have breakfast what else. Anyway how come I don't see that idiot around?"

"Natsu isn't an idiot and why would he want to sit with a bunch of girls."

"So an espresso like usual?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"Wait, since when did you know him?"

"Not that long actually, two or three months maybe, he's a regular customer." I got up and went to the coffee machine.

"Well I should be going; I'll see you at work Gray." I heard Lucy say. That's when it hit me. I pulled Lucy over to the coffee machine. I whispered something in her ear and she giggled in reply.

"Nice plan Mira."

"Of course it is, it's my plan after all."


Gray P.O.V.

"What was that all about?" When I come in, all I heard was you girls chatting." I sat down on a spare chair once Mira and Lucy left. Lately we've been sitting together, since nobody likes sitting alone with no one to talk to.

"Mira and Fried are going to get married soon. We were just talking about it. That's all."

"Girls sure talk a lot." I let out a small chuckle.

"You got a problem with that?"

I was just about to replay when someone interrupted

"Okay, I'll be going now, bye Erza and see you later Gray." Lucy said as she walked past. Weird, I thought she already left.

"Bye" Erza called out "well I should get going too." I saw her get up and garb her bag.

"But its still 8, don't you start work at 9?" seriously, I come here hoping to talk to her and she just leaves the minute I get here.

"My car is in service, so I have to walk.'

"What about the bus or train?"

"Too much people and very few taxis come through here."

'True." Agreeing with her made me remember something "how about I drive you, recently I got a new vehicle, you wanna see?" I said with a smile on my face. This caught her attention

"Really. I don't mind." So she sat back down and we kept on talking until it was almost time to go. Finally time to show off my awesome new vehicle.


Erza P.O.V.

I stood there staring at the vehicle in front of me.

"I thought you said it was a car." I said hoping this was not his.

"Who said I wanted a car, it so boring."

"Well I'm not going to work on this."

"Stop being stubborn, you'll be late and there's nothing wrong with my vehicle." He raised his voice a little.

"It's a motorbike. I really thought it was a car." I also raised my voice slightly louder than his.

"No point arguing now is it." He got on and threw me a helmet while he put his on. Looks like I have no choice.

"Fine, but you're lucky I'm wearing pants today." I got and put my helmet on.

"Hold on tight." I put my hands around his waist before he drove off.

The bike was loud but I wasn't paying attention to that. I felt the wind against my body, my hair was blowing widely behind me and my eyes were wide open. It felt free like all my stress was suddenly lifted. The surroundings became blurry as we whizzed past. Who knew that riding a motorbike had such a trilling fell to it.

I had to admit I was a bit disappointed when I recognized the firm's building.

"So how was it?" Gray asked once I got off.

"Quite nice I guess." He doesn't need to know what I really thought of it.

"Then how about I be your chauffer until your car service is finished?"

"Fine, if you want then I won't stop you."

"Right." He said before he drove off again. I couldn't help but smile as I walked in the building.


Gray P.O.V.

I waited at the traffic light with a satisfied smile on my face. I know that Erza enjoyed that ride, I don't know why but I just know it, no matter how good she hid it.

"At least she can enjoy it from today on." I said to myself and started driving off once the traffic light turned green.

A Week later

"Gray you're in studio 5 today, there's some lighting problem in studio 2." a co-worker told me as I waited for the elevator.

"Ok, thanks." I replied and made my way to studio 5.

"Morning Levy. Morning Gajeel. Levy you're looking even prettier today, but I see Gajeel is as grumpy as ever." I heard the short blue hair teenager giggle.

"Who's grumpy here." I heard a tall man with long spiky black hair say. These two were one of the models for this company.

"I never said anything. Just get this session over with, we're running behind." I pointed them to the area with the white background that was surrounded by reflectors and lights.

"Tch, not my problem you were late."

After I finished taking I doubled checked the photos on the laptop.

"Okay we're done. Gajeel is unusually co-operative today."

Levy giggled "I guess he is. I'll get changed now." She said as she walked away "Oh yeah Natsu said he wanted to see you during your break."

"Huh, Natsu? What does he want?"

"I don't know, I'll see you later."

"Oi Natsu, Lucy what do you want?" I said as I walked into their office.

"Nothing, Lucy you tell him." I guess someone's in a bad mood today.

"It's nothing important. I'm sure you've heard that Mira is getting married soon right?"

"Yeah Erza told me last week. What about it."

"Well she wants you to go as well and here's the invitation." She handed me a fancy looking card and I looked at it.

"I don't even know Mira invited him." I heard Natsu say

"Quit it Natsu, it's not our wedding, its Mira and Fried's and they can invite whoever they want. "

"hmp"

"Oh Gray, she also expects you to bring a date, so don't go disappointing her." she said between giggles. I thought it was odd but I left it at that.

"If that's all then I'll be going now."

"Okay."

So now I have to think about who to bring. Oh joy.


sorry but i can't really describe the feeling of the ride from Erza's P.O.V. very well

and i'm even more sorry that levy and gajeel aren't very important characters in this story. they are just models for lucy and natus company.

i'm pretty sure that half of you guys reading this already know what Mira's plan is
