AN: Ok! Let's get on with the story shall we? This morning, we look at Evergreen and Elfman! (Cuz I feel like they are being left out, poor souls…) Yeah, well, wait till you see the situation they get themselves into… Kyahaha! ~LolGizzmo55
Chapter Nine- Awkward Daze…
"Mind telling me why you two are hugging in bed? Aren't you two always fighting?" Hesper asked randomly to Evergreen and Elfman.
She had wanted to do some spying (because she wasn't going through what she did yesterday morning) so she opened her sliding glass door and activated her fairy wings and flew to their room, which was three rooms down from her's and Freed's. They were still sleeping when she came in, and she had watched them for half an hour (they were actually really cute whilst snuggling), until she blurted out her question.
"Wha…? H-Hesper?! What are you doing here?!" Evergreen yelled, shoving Elfman away from her and putting her glasses back on. "Go back to your room!"
"Aw… But I don't wanna… Freed will attack me again into a bear hug…" She said, sighing dramatically.
"The man can do that?" Elfman yawned, rubbing his eyes.
"Apparently, yes." Hesper said bitterly.
"And why couldn't you have gone to like, Bickslow and Lisanna's room?" Evergreen asked her, sitting up and glaring at the girl, but then realized she wasn't there. "Actually, that's not a bad idea Ever-chan! Thanks! Oh yeah, just FYI: Mirajane told me yesterday during dinner that we'd have a girl's day out today!" The girl smiled and waved goodbye (even though she was still invisible), and flew out the sliding glass door, going back in the direction of her room.
"Why'd you push me away? Am I to hot for you?" Elfman asked when the girl left.
"Elfman, think before you speak, please." The woman groaned to him when she took her glasses off and she lay back down in the bed.
"Hmph, fine. But men don't think in the morning…" He grumbled, lying back down next to her.
"See, there you go again with the man stuff! Why the hell do you do that anyway?! It's so annoying…" She grumbled, facing the wall.
"But it's manly to be a man though."
"Well not when you say it in every sentence! And that doesn't even make any sense!"
"Does it?" He grinned, knowing that it would annoy her even more. She turned around and glared at him. "But I don't say it in every sentence! Just to prove it I didn't say it then! Or that manly one… Dang it…" He huffed while she turned around fully to face him.
"Mmhmm. See? You're not very good at not saying man in every sentence. But that's only one of the many flaws you have. Unlike you however, I am pure perfection." She poked his nose.
"No you're not!"
"What do you mean I'm not?!"
"Because you're not manly enough!"
"I don't have to be manly! I'm a woman!"
There argument went on for a while, before Evergreen decided to make him stone with her eyes.
"Don't worry; I'll unfreeze you when we have to leave. For now I'm going to take a nice looong bath…" She laughed evilly, grabbing a fresh pair of day clothes and shutting the bathroom door, leaving the poor man in the same position, but as stone instead of flesh.
*~*~*~* (At The Local Mall…)
"Ugh, why are we here again?" Hesper groaned while she fell into step with the bar maid.
The girls had decided (more like Mirajane had forced them) to have a girls day out, to gather supplies for their masks for the ball. Of course, they could've just used their magic to help make the masks, but the demon wanted them to have a little more 'fun' with this project.
"Because, Hesper-chan, I wanted us to have some fun on this vacation!" The Take Over mage told her.
"Does that mean forcing us to go to the mall to shop for things we don't need?"
"If that means you get to spend time with your girl friends, then yes."
"Why couldn't we just have gone to the spa then?" Evergreen mumbled. "Because that's for the day of the ball. Laxus will do anything for his girlfriend, right Mira-nee?" Lisanna giggled, while getting a glare from the demon and quickly shut her mouth.
"Then we need to do something though then just walk around here aimlessly. My feet are starting to hurt." Evergreen complained, slumping her shoulders.
"Why do you think I wear boots?" Hesper said to her.
"But don't those have heels?" Lisanna questioned.
"Nope."
"So you're really that tall…?" Mirajane asked. Hesper was the tallest of the group, being 5"7'. Mira just barely made it to 5"6'. The other two were only about 5"4', without heels on.
"Yep. My whole family was made of tall people, so I got that trait too…" Hesper drifted off, remembering her family, and the memories that followed that thought.
"Wow. That would mean that you're only two inches shorter than Freed right?" Lisanna asked her, elbowing her arm.
"Wha…? Oh yeah. Whatcha gonna be for the masquerade ball?" The tallest asked the shortest.
"Well, Bickslow gave me the terrible idea to be one of his babies…" Lisanna grumbled, shivering at the thought.
"Are you going to follow through with that?" She grinned, leaning towards the girl.
"N-No… That's just weird! Plus, I don't want to wear those colors on my face!" The youngest Take Over mage stammered out.
"Then whatcha gonna be?"
"W-Well… A cat…"
"How'd you figure that out?"
"Just thought of an animal and asked him about it…"
"You gave him a 'show', didn't you?" Hesper grin got wider at this, and the girl who was blushing deeper.
"N-No! Well… Maybe sorta…"
"Lisanna!" Mira said, staring at her younger sister with wide eyes.
"W-Well, what are you going to be, Hesper-chan?" The youngest girl said to her. Now all the attention was fixed on Hesper, and not on her, thank goodness.
"I'm going to be a dragon, with the help of my wings of course." The girl smirked, while her dragon side briefly made a visit, and then vanished quickly. "Whatcha gonna be, Mira-chan?"
"I'm going to be an angel, and Laxus a devil." The oldest girl smiled.
"Uh, wouldn't it be the opposite?" Evergreen asked.
"Nope… Well, technically yes, but I wanted to have some fun. What are you going to be, Evergreen?"
"I am obviously going to be a fairy." The Fairy mage said matter-of-factly.
"Would Hesper-chan be better at that? Since she had the wings for it? Wouldn't she also be a better spy too?" Lisanna piped up, only to be glared at by the woman.
"Actually, that's a great idea Lisanna! Hesper, you and Evergreen have to switch ideas! Well, Evergreen, you should be Medusa instead. It suits you better." Mira said; an evil glint in her eye.
"Or…" Hesper piped up, "I have a great idea for what you can be, Ever-chan!" She said, also with an evil glint in her eye, and the four of them chatted merrily about their counterparts, and what Saturday was to bring…
*~*~*~* (At The Hotel At The Same Time…)
"Why'd the girls have to leave? Me and Lissy were gonna spy on you guys, Elfman!" Bickslow groaned slamming his face in Laxus's pillow.
"Now, Bickslow, if you don't like it when Lisanna calls you Bicks, then why do you call her Lissy?" Freed said, sitting in a chair, reading his book.
"Wait, you guys spy on us?! So UNMANLY!" Elfman shouted while he glared at the man, crossing his arms while sitting on the bed.
"Well… She likes to be called Lissy though. It beats being called a d*ck every time she says my stupid nickname." Bickslow remarked to the green haired man, and completely ignoring the other guy in the room.
"What the…?! Why are you guys in my room?!" Laxus shouted at them, clad in a towel, just getting out of the shower.
"L-Laxus! We are so sorry! But the girls abandoned us to go to the mall a-and…" Freed stuttered out to his boss, trying to hide his red face with his book.
"Yeah! They completely ditched us to go to the mall and gather supplies for their masks!" Bickslow added in.
"I don't care about them! Why are you guys in here?!" Laxus growled at them, grabbing his clothes and starring at them.
"Because apparently this room is the MAN cave for us!" Elfman shouted.
"Ok… But that doesn't explain why you're in here." He growled, giving them a look.
"Hey! Maybe since the girls ditched us, then why don't we go and spy on them?" Bickslow grinned widely.
"Yeah… Whatever…" Laxus said as he went into the bathroom to change. Then the boys headed out to the local mall to do some spying on their counterparts…
*~*~*~* (Back At The Mall A Little Later…)
"Do we have everything now?" Hesper groaned again, following the leader of the girl's group, which was Mira.
"Yep! Now we can head back to my room and make our masks!" The leader said cheerfully, while the other three groaned.
"I change my mind, Mira-nee; can we go to the spa now? I hear they give a nice back massage…" Her younger sister said, stretching her back.
"Hmmm… Well… I suppose so… But after the mask making!" Mira said excitedly.
"Ever-chan, hit me with your stone eyes now, please!" Hesper groaned.
"I wish I could do that to myself… Mira, carry me…" Evergreen groaned along with her.
"Oh, stop complaining! Look, we are already back at the hotel!" The oldest said, when she opened the door and ran into Laxus, who grinned at her.
"Look who decided to come crawling back to us, guys!" The blond man said, while Mira just glared at him and grabbed his hand, rushing up the stairs, the others not to far behind… Well, actually, they were very far behind, and the girls just collapsed onto the floor.
"Are you girls alright?" Freed asked, being the apparently sympathetic one, kneeling down to look at Hesper questioningly.
"Freed, carry me…" The pinknette groaned. "Mira made us walk around the mall three times…"
"That doesn't sound too bad…"
"It's ten times bigger than the one back at Mongolia."
"Mavis, Really?" Freed asked the girl.
"She ain't lying Freed. Bickslow, be a good 'boyfriend' and carry me too please." Lisanna said, reaching her hands up from her seating position, and looking like a toddler.
"Kyahaha! Alright then! What floor madam?" The tallest asked.
"Floor… Whichever one that our room is on…" She groaned as he picked her up, like a sack of potatoes, and ran up the stairs. "BICKSLOW! NOT LIKE THIS!"
"Kyahaha! You asked for it!"
And then there were four.
"Elfman, pick me up too. Please? I'll freeze you again if you don't." Evergreen threatened, while the beefy man picked her up, (a little scared to be frozen again) exactly like Bickslow had, and he ran up the stairs, following the other couples.
"Again? Did something happen when I left?" Hesper asked grinning, yelling up to the other couple, hearing them shout "SHUT UP!" And giggled.
"Do you want me to pick you up too? I don't think I can, though…" Freed said, eyeing the only girl on the floor.
"What do you mean by that?!" She growled at him. Sure, she was tall, but she wasn't heavy. And he was 5"10', so he was at least three inches taller than her.
"N-Nothing… My shoulders aren't as strong as the other's…"
"Then don't pick me up like that!"
"Oh. Right… Alright then. How about like this?" He picked her up bridal style, while she crossed her arms, glaring at him while he stared up the stairs, following Evergreen and Elfman at a much slower pace then the other couples.
"This is alright, I guess." She said softly. "Better then you looking at my ass while running up the stairs like an idiot." She laughed a bit, while he blushed scarlet as the thought of her ass crossed his mind. Man, he needed to stay away from Bickslow for a while…
AN: Hello! Soooo… What did y'all think? I know the title of the chapter doesn't really suit the chapter itself… But whatever… Next one's comin up!
