Sorry Guys!
I was kinda sick for a while, but I'm back :D. I decided to skip to Halloween where we left it :D.
Without further ado...
"Please don't tell me this was how you ate on your date with Jellal.." Lucy stammered, watching her redheaded best friend devour another cake. Erza glared at her before ordering another. Levy sighed, texting rapidly on her tiny cell phone, "If we want to enter the talent show, we need to go to auditions next month." Wendy came bounding over, "What are you going to sing? You are entering as Fanged Fairies?"
Lucy nodded, "Yeah, but we still don't know what the heck we're singing." Juvia showed up with another cake in her hands, smiling,
"Here's your cake Er-"
Erza grabbed the cake and started digging in. Juvia was shocked, "Za."
"I'm sure we have some songs." Levy said, fumbling her fingers, "Like, didn't you write one the other day?", Lucy sighed and put her hands on her forehead, "I was drawing!"
Juvia sat down next to the wiping the flour on her hands to the apron she was wearing, "We could write one!" Wendy bolted up, "Yeah! You guys can! I'll help!"
Lucy smiled, "But inspiration doesn't come from thin air guys, what are we even going to write about?"
"Love!"
"Holidays!"
"Fantasy!"
"CAKE!"
Lucy rolled her eyes, smiling, "That's nice guys, but I need to go renew my book at the down town library. See you soon?" Her friends nodded. "Lu, don't forget we're going trick-or-treating with Wendy tonight! We'll be by at 7!" Lucy nodded, "See you then!"
The wind whipped across her face, bringing the smell of fall along with it. Lucy dodged throughout the pedestrians talking, running, and selling on the main routes to the Magnolia Library. It was 4 when she left the Lockser's Cafe, and the library was a good 30 minutes, not to mention her costume needed a good hour. The front doors of the library flung open and a small child fustratedly stomped out, a flaming mother following after. Lucy slipped into the safe haven of the building. It was warm and the fireplace with black leather couches was alight with brilliant orange and yellow flames.
"Lucy! I was afraid you weren't going to show! Do you have the book with you?" a voice behind her cooed. Lucy turned to look at the portly white haired woman. Lucy smiled, "Of course Mrs. Lina! When have I ever been late to renew a book?" She smiled, "Never actually, but Lucy, you look different."
Lucy smiled, "It's just something my friends did, that's all." Mrs. Lina smiled, "Well alright dear, it looks well on you. Going trick-or-treat tonight?" Lucy smiled, handing the book to her, "Yeah, me and some friends. Want me to stop by? I can try to bag some of those caramels you like."
Mrs. Lina laughed, typing on her computer behind her desk, "That's sweet, but I don't wanna rob you of your candy-"
"But I will visit and you will get some candy, do you hear me?" Lucy said, raising an eyebrow. Mrs. Lina laughed, handing Lucy's book back to her, "Well, I would like some company after the place closes, maybe I'll give you a treat myself."
Saying her goodbyes, Lucy headed out. She loved seeing Mrs. Lina, she always had something for Lucy to read, and she was so nice for 83 years. She turned onto her street. The sun had just started to set and she smiled at the little trick-or-treaters running around. Running into her apartment, she ran to her bed where she already had her costume lain out.
Slipping it on and throwing on her heels, she quickly went into her bathroom to do her hair and make-up. Her friends had all decided to dress up to be superheroes this year, and Levy quickly agreed and managed to snag Cat Woman. Juvia called Aqua Woman, stating she'll just make Aqua Man more feminine. Erza wanted to be Superman, and declared she wanted someone to be her side kick. Since Wendy was going as Red Riding Hood, Lucy agreed to be Robin for her friend.
She chose well. Not only was her outfit easy to make, she could get all the small details in with a flash, and it looked really good on her. After finishing her hair into a wavy ponytail, and her make up was "just perfect", she sighed as she looked at the clock. Her friends should be here any moment-
Knock Knock!
Lucy peeked out the window first, if it was trick-or-treaters, she was candy less. She really hoped it was her friends. And when Lucy found out it was, she opened the door to her squealing friends.
Natsu watched his friends eye down children.
"That one seems to have hit about a good amount of houses." Gray said, nudging Gajeel. Gajeel shook his head, "Nope. Fish boy over there hit more, you can tell."
Natsu scanned the streets, "Idiots, if you want candy, and want to scare kids while doing it, you need to find one without a parent. Their easy prey."
The three scanned and picked a easy target. Before they pounced, a familiar figure stood in the three's way, arms crossed and a frown on her face, "You're pathetic, you know that?"
The three sighed, "Not you, why do you always ruin our fun, Blondie?" Lucy sighed, "Because you're 'fun' is disgusting."
"Harsh."
Lucy rolled her eyes, "So what do you do on Christmas? Go around stealing presents from Good Will?"
Gray grinned, "Gee, how'd you know?" Lucy walked back over to her friends, "Grow up would you?"
Once she was gone, Gray and Gajeel looked at their salmon -pink- haired friend, "We're going after them, aren't we?"
"Hell yeah."
They couldn't tell but Natsu was defiantly going to flip out on that girl. The one thought that ran through his mind over and over again, What was she wearing?!
She was way to adult for his liking. He wouldn't lie, he found her attractive ever since he was young, and today she did outshine herself, but if he found her attractive, most guys would too. They did follow them, and he would laugh to himself. To any bystander it looked like a grey, black, and brown wolf following Red Riding Hood, and four superheros.
After what seemed like hours, they all stood infront of his house, Wendy obviously excited. Wendy ran inside and was back quicker then Natsu had seen. She had her over night bag with her, which meant one thing.
The three walked out of the bushes they were hiding in and casually walked over to Natsu's house. Wendy was smiling, "Natsu! There you are, I'm staying over Lucy's, 'kay? I couldn't find mom or dad, so-"
"They're at the Fullbuster's party, remember?" he growled.
Wendy nodded, "Oh yeah, right! Well, I'll see you later then!" She waved as she followed Levy and Erza. Lucy and Juvia followed. Natsu growled before ushering his friends inside. Gray and Gajeel shared an evil look,
"We're gonna spy on them, aren't we?"
"Kinda."
"Prank? Scare?"
"Of course."
Tada!
I admit, I felt a little writers block, but I pushed through!
Well, what kind of pranks do you think the boys should pull?
Leave a review on what you think is going to happen/ how you like the story is going so far!
