Lucy's POV
Yay, it's so good to be back. Even though it was just one year somehow it feels like it has been 10 years since I came back. Yosh! Time for Mira's awesome strawberry smoothie—
"Hey Luce! You came back!" Natsu shout across the guild, smiling like the stupid idiot he is. Great, now my good mood is gone. "Natsu! Do not call me Luce! And, since you ditched me last time, we are no longer friends. Get the hell away from me." I glared daggers at him, as he tried dragging me to his table. Out of the corner of my eye I see lisanna glowering at me, probably mad that I didn't quit the guild. How stupid of her.
"But Luce!" he whined like a pitiful child that didn't get his candy. Tch, I don't have time for this. But before I had time to yank my wrist back from him, Laxus was already punching him.
"Natsu, don't bother Lulu no more, you're just super annoying1" he yelled, clearly pissed at Natsu. Suddenly, everyone in the guild froze. Eh? Why? *lightbulb flash* Shit, they probably got the wrong idea!
"My, my, Lucy, what a big girl you are now. So when did you start dating Laxus over there~?" Mira said, smiling, as she washed a cup in the bar counter. "Wait! We're not dating! We're just best friends! Isn't that right, Laxus?" I looked over at him. I guess he got the message.
Laxus' POV
Ouch. That hurt. Heck, I knowwe're best friends but… oh well, one day I'll make her mine. Just not today. "Yea, we're just best friends, so shut your trap and go back to whatever you guys were doing before." I said boredly. It seemed to work, but Mira, Gramps, Levy, Gajeel and my team (besides Lucy) eyed me suspiciously. I still don't see what's wrong with giving her a nickname. Don't Lulu sounds much better than Luce? It's a pretty name for Lucy too…
I blush, as I called her beautiful in my mind.
Mira's POV
Omigosh! He just blushed! That's it, there MUST be something going on between those two! I gotta find out! I glance at Levy, who is reading a book in a table nearby. She caught my glance, as well as Gajeel who is sitting next to her, and they both nodded at me. This was our code sign for getting together yet another wonderful Lalu operation.
I used hand signals to motion them to come with me, which they did. Going to the farthest back corner of the guild we whispered excitedly about our plan for the new Lalu operation. Even Gajeel seem excited about this. I guess its just to embarrass Laxus… meh, who cares? As long as they become a couple I am perfectly fine with it!
"Ne, Mira, you saw that right? Omigod, we have to start planning their wedding1" Yep, Levy will be my matchmaking assistant from now on. "Shush Levy, we have to start planning their dates first. Any ideas?" I ask excitedly. After a few moments Gajeel gave a pretty good suggestion:
"Why don't we get them to pair up for that Number One Perfect Fairies Duo competition this week?" "Mavis, good job Gajeel. Levy, any other ideas?" Levy thought a bit more before replying "We should probably blackmail them since they probably won't even sign up. Good point she have there. Okay then, time to form the plan!
Go to lucy's home and blackmail her with her diary that I somehow found. (Very interesting what's inside of it ;)
Go to Laxus' home and threaten him to have a conversation with his Gramps about Lucy (no doubt he's gonna get annoyed)
They go the 'date' together
Win, get a prize, and hopefully, become a couple!
Perfect, with this plan, we won't fail.
The next day…
Mira's POV
"Levy, Gajeel, hurry up, we're going to Lucy's house for the blackmail." I called them waiting outside the guild. "Kay, we're ready to go now." Levy said, holding a bag for Lucy's diary and stuff. "Gihee" was all Gajeel could say. Oh well. Lalu Operation #2: Start!
