I almost forgot about this chapter, and started writing the next one, lol
And…I SUCK AT ACTION SCENES. Sorry ;~;
The dialogue continues directly from the last chapter, so I'll do a recap for anyone who forgot what happened. ^-^
-
Natsu, who was eating as if he hadn't had any food for the past week, paused, a chip half way to his mouth, and seemed to be thinking. He then turned to look at her, a serious expression on his face. "Kami...are you…"
-
I don't own Fairy Tail.
Lucy stared at him in shock, too panicked to say anything. 'did I actually not convince him? Did he figure it out already?'
"…hungry?" Natsu innocently continued his question, clueless to the fact that the girl he was talking to was about to go into Erza mode...
Nobody knew why Natsu had a concussion for the next few days, not even him.
-:-:-Next day-:-:-
Lucy was standing in a large battle arena. Natsu was across from her, looking very beat up and dirty, but a determined grin was on his face and his hands surrounded by fire.
The whole guild was in the audience, cheering for either her or Natsu.
"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" She yelled. Natsu did the same.
The attacks clashed midair, creating a large explosion.
He ran at her, ready to knock her to the ground with a physical attack. She braced herself, planning to hit him before he could get her.
"Lucy, breakfast's ready"
"That's right. I'll beat Natsu to a pulp. And put him in orange juice!"
She hit him as planned. There was no way he could beat her when it came to movement.
"And drink it?"
"What else would I do with orange juice?"
"Lucy, are you a cannibal?"
"I'm a wolf!" She said loudly, sitting up. Then she blinked. This wasn't a battle arena…
"You're a human. Now eat your breakfast, which does not include Natsu"
This was the middle of a forest, where she and Kera were camping. It had all been a dream…and she'd been sleeptalking.
"Yes, yes" She noticed a couple dead rabbits sitting a few feet away. As a wolf and dragon slayer, sometimes she felt like she was more animal than human. And Kera didn't help this, as she never bothered cooking, using a table, or even just using plates.
Then she noticed something was missing. "Where's the hot sauce?" A necessity. And since she couldn't have anything extremely spicy at the guild, this was her only chance.
"You used it all, remember?"
"…."
"You can deal with it. We'll buy some later"
"But…."
Kera stared her, an unamused look on her face.
"Right. We'll get some later."
She crawled over to her breakfast, and started eating. Bones and all. After all, she didn't just feel half animal, she more or less was half animal.
"So, do you think you can beat him?" Kera asked, taking her share of the food.
"Huh? Oh…" Crunch…crunch… "I think so" Munch….munch… "I need to confirm for sure though." Nomnomnom…."I mean" Munch…"I have an advantage, knowing two kinds of magic, and if he isn't to much stronger than me, he'll" crunch… "barely be able to harm me."
"And if he's stronger?"
She clenched her fist, thinking of what would happen if she failed her goal. "I'll…."
"Fail"
"…."
Kera realized Lucy had stopped eating, and was just staring at her food. "…I mean, I'm sure you can beat him, you just should confirm it beforehand…."
"Yeah…."
"Are you done? Let's go to the guild"
"Don't forget the hot sauce"
"After we go to the guild"
"….."
-:-:-:-:-
As the guild doors creaked open, Mira looked up from filling a glass. "Ah, Ookami, you're here!" She yelled, waving.
Lucy heard her name, well, her alias, and quickly headed to the bar.
"Do you like swimming? Us girls are going la-"
"No"
Mira awkwardly paused. She hadn't expected such a straight out refusal. "Come on…It'll be fun!" She said encouragingly, and smiled.
"I don't like water"
"You don't need to swim. Just try to get a tan, or something!" 'at least that'll still make her wear a swimsuit..."
"Okay...I guess that's fine"
"Great! Just sit down and wait. We'll go in an hour or so. I can lend you a swimsuit"
"Okay"
She and Kera headed for an unoccupied table.
"I like swimming"
"Yeah, I know"
"To bad they probably don't want an animal swimming in their pool. I mean, most people don't like to swim with a bunch of fur..."
Lucy laughed. "We can go find a lake sometime. Nobody will care if you swim there"
-:-:-Later-:-:-
Lucy stared at her reflection in the mirror, closely observing herself.
She was wearing a black bikini with white polka dots, borrowed from Fairy Tail's resident model. Her brown, dyed hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
The eyepatch covering her eye was mostly just because that eye was still brown, and possibly recognizable to her former friends, unlike her other eye, which had turned red, thanks to an injury from during a training mishap. Her still-normal eye also got injured a bit, more recently, but an eyepatch probably wasn't necessary anymore.
She bent down to reach the clothes she had discarded, and unclipped a little pouch from her belt, and opened it. Inside was a couple celestial keys(Plue's, and a few others she had saved from abusive celestial mages. She wasn't majorly into celestial spirits, but having some extra help never hurt) and a small bottle. She pulled out this last item.
It was a concealing potion, that worked for about 5 hours. She kept it if she ever needed to take her gloves off, and right now was one of those situations. It wasn't everyday that somebody wore gloves to a pool, and she didn't want to look suspicious.
She pulled off her gloves, and put a bit of the potion on her hand, making the guild mark disappear.
'Perfect' she thought to herself.
"Let's go!"
Bad ending, and I would make this longer, but I really need to get off the computer(actually, I have to)...so yeah...sorry
It seems reasonable that fire mages would hate water, right? I mean seriously, fire is no match for water unless it's hot enough to evaporate it, or something...Which means there'd be no point in swimming xD
Natsu has been shown swimming though, so idk.
Oh, and some of you may be wondering when the GraLu will really start. It'll be soon, I promise. :3
