Chapter 9 (Happy & Carla)
Serena's POV
So the other day when Jellal, Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale came to visit, well, me, they decided to stay back for a few days. It had been five days now and they decided to crash at mine and Lucy's new house.
"God, evertime I enter this house, all I can say is, its quite big for 3 people to live in." Jenny said followed with a sigh.
You must be wondering who the third person is, right? Well my parents had Simmon, my butler, live with me.
"Serena, your parents are loaded,right?" Hibiki asked and I simply nodded
After while we left to go back to the guild. Today Jenny and Sherry were wearing my cloths. My cloths were very different form any one here. I looked a lot more casual, a lot less girly and a ot more comfortabe. Thank god for that!
We finally reached the guid, about 15 minutes later. When we reached, everyone went to their groups and hung out.
I decided that it was better for me to wait a while before I start acting on my plan about getting Jellal and Erza back. So instead I decided I would work on Happy and Carla first, as they were my easiest targets.
I walked over to Lucy ad asked her if she could summon Loke for a bit.
"Really? You're asking me to summon Loke by your free will?! Are you alright?" Lucy asked and started to check my temprature.
"Lucy, I'm fine! I just wanted to ask Loke about how my mother was when she was younger!" I lied
"Oh." Was all Lucy said and then she opened Loke's gate "The Gate of the ion, I Open Thee. Leo."
And there he was. I was re-considering my idea of actually asking Loke for help, but it was too late to backout now. *Sigh* Now the only reason I was ever going to take help from this manaic was because...
1. He was good with the whole 'love' thing and
2. He knew every one better than I did.
"OH! So Serena called me?" I heard Loke's voice and was snapped out of my daze. I turned to be greeted by his traditional smirk and amusement in his eyes.
"Yeah I did, I want ask you some stuff about my mother." I said, trying not to sound angry. So then I started walking over to the job board and he followed me. After I stopped, he joined me.
"So what do you wanna know?" Loke asked
"Ok, um... I kinda lied about that, actually I wanted tell you that-" "Tell me that you are totally in love with me?" I was very rudely intrupted by him. My jaw cenched in anger "No, Lover boy!" I paused "I wanted to tell you that I need your help with a little project I'm working on." I added. "My help? I thought you can't stand me?" He asked, amused. "I can't. But for my friends, even if I have to bear you... I will." I said coldly "Ouch, that hurt!" "Good!" "Anyways, what is this project you need my help with?" He asked.
"Well you see, I am, if I do say so my self, an amazing matchmaker and I'm pretty sure you noticed the chemistry between two certain cats..." I paused and he nodded "so I decided I'm going to help and because you also may have a few tricks up your sleeve, as you're a player, a guy and you know the people in this guild better than me! So will you be the kind and sweet gentalman you are and hep me out?" I said and I made sure I said the last part with a very sickly-sweet voice.
"Hmmmm, when you put it that way, I will." He said. My face lit up instantly and I, for once, smiled. Soon we both decided that he would talk to Happy and I will to Carla. We set th time for an hour to talk/listen/convince them. We were set on finishing this within maximum two days.
Finally after a discussion, where we were actually talking like cival people, we made our ways to our targets. Let the mission begin!
Loke's POV
After an actual civil discussion, we both our ways to our targets. Let the mission begin!
I made my way over to a very bored Natsu and Happy. "Hey guys!" I greeted "Heeeeyyyy" They said, draging the word in total boredom. "Happy, I was going somewhere and was wondering if ya wanted to come along?" I asked and at that hs head shot up in excitement "Can I go?" Nastu asked "Sorry buddy, next time." I said "Awww! Pleaseeeeee" Natsu dragged the words, pouting. "Hhaha, NO." I said sternly "and plus your pouty face dosen't work on me" I smiled and told happy to come along.
After a few steps I looked at Natsu over my shoulder, he was staring daggers into my head. Poor thing. But if I let him come he would just ruine everything.
We were in the backyard of the guild. Its a beautiful garden, which you can get lost in. Gotta be careful these days!
We made our way to a bench and we sat. "Loke, why are we in the backyard?" Happy inquired "Well Happy, I lied about the whole 'fun' thing" I admitted "But before you hae me, I have to talk to you about something important! I have been meening to talk to you for a while, but never had the time. So now that I do, lets talk." I added "Alright." The cat sighed "What do you want to talk about?"
"You and Carla" and as I said that Happy froze. "Listen Happy, I'm pretty sure everyone and I mean everyone knows you like her. Don't you think you should admit this to her?" I said/asked "Well... I don't know, I want to tell her. Really, I wan to. B-but-" "You're scared of regection?" I added/asked and he nodded. "But think about it like this. What is Carla likes you back? Then what? You can be a 'happy' couple. No pun intended" I explained "Hmm... when you put it that way," he started to think. Hopefully this was going a good way. I wonder what Serena has done till now?
"Even though you say that, I'm not so sure.. Charls is always mean to me, ignores me. Its like she hates me!" He said, he looked so sad. I was feeling bad! "Buddy, sometimes girls act mean to the guys they like, ya know.. like, play hard to get." like Serena. Happy's head shot up, "Really?" He asked hopefuly "Yeah! Come on, me te great Loke, who knows pretty much all there is to know how to impress a girl, is telling you this!" I said. I could see hope in the cat's eyes. "Well, if you say so, I'll give it a shot." I grinned! I was really happy to hear this. Then me and the cat talkd about how he would tell Carla.
I only hope things are going well on Serena's end.
Serena's POV
I made my way to Wendy and Carla, who were eating something. "Hey lil' girlies!" I said. "Hey Serry" Wendy said with a mouth stuffed full of food. Hahaha this girl is so cute! At that moment I noticed Romeo staring at her with glittering eyes... Wonder what thats about. I made a mental note to find out later. For now my focus was Carla.
Carla finally said hi to me. "Hey Carla, um... I wanted to talk to you. In private" I said and looked at Wendy. "Sure." Carla replied and we bid Wendy goodbye.
We went to the backyard of the guild. It was a beautiful garden, in which one could get lost. So that was the only place quite enough for us to talk. We took a seat.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Carla asked "Well, about you and Happy." I said. Her head shot up, "look sweetie, I'm going to be real honest and direct with you." I said taking a pause "I have a feeling you, might just like the cat. Romantically." "No, I don't!" she said. I smiled at her "Carla, you can fool yourself but not me. I have a lot of experience in this sort of thing. I have got a lot of couples together and I know exactly how a girl looks at a boy when she likes him. I see the same thing between you and Happy!" "No, I do not like him. And anyways he goes around flirting with any cat he can!" (Like Loke) Carla said "Are you jealous?" I asked, smiling. "N-no" she said meekly. Now I had her around my finger :P
"Hey Kitty, boys will go around flirting with other girls, or cats in your case, to make the girl they like jealous. He just wants you to give him attention!" I explained. She looked at me with a little glimmer in her eye. "Serena... Do you really think he likes me?" Carla said shyly "Of course! What is there not to like about you!?" I said in total excitement "th-thank you" she said with a little blush. "Your not good with complements, are you?" I asked, she nodded. How cute 3 "But Serena, I can't tell him!" she said, UH! This cat! "YES, you can!" I said "I'll help you, alright?!" I added. "Thank you so much Serena!" She said with a wide smile. "Hey, what are friends for!" I said and we began talking about how she would tell him.
I just hope everything was good on Loke's end.
Loke's POV
Me and Happy were back in the giuld house. It was actually quite easy getting out of that garden. I do not understand what people complain about!
I had finally talked Happy into telling Carla how he felt today! It would be intersting...
I finally spotted Serena and Carla and by the look of it, things looked good! I say Serena wisper something to Carla. I would totally be lying if I said I didn't hear what she said, I mean come on... I and a loin, I have amazing hearing. Serena said "Best of luck" to Carla, then patted her on the back.
"Happy. Now's your chance. Best of luck, buddy!" I said to happy and pushed him in Carla's direction.
Once he reached her he said "Um... Carla, I have to tell you something" "Me too" she said and they both walked away.
I saw Serena walking towards me. I waved at her, but she ignored it. Ouch! I honestly don't understand why she dosen't like me? Other than being a player... I'm awesome, cool, nice, strong and will help her.
Why do you care? I said to my inner voice
you care 'cuz you have never met a girl who has hated you so mcuh!
Whatever. Dosen't mean I'm going to ask her about it. I don't even wanna know!
You can keep lying to yourself!
"Shutup!"
"I didn't even say anything! God, you're such an ass!" Serena said
"Oops, I said that out loud"
"Whatever! Anyways thanks for helping me out. What did Happy say?" She asked
"Well, he thought Carla didn't like him, y'know as she always ignores him and is mean to him" I told "What about Carla?" I asked
"Well, she thought that Happy didn't like her, cuz' he went around flirting with random cats." She told me. "But its good that the silly misunderstanding is clear!" Serena finally added.
"Yep" I said popping the 'p' "Oh and your welcome." I finished.
She gave me a half smile and walked over to Lucy and sat on the table full of girls- Lucy, Erza, Mira, Cana, Jenny, Sherry and Levy.
Where as I joined the boys- Natsu, Gray, Elfman, Jellal, Tri-men (Hibiki, Ren and Eve), Lyon, Gajeel and Pantherlili.
Eventhough we were two tables away I could hear everyword from the girls' table. They were talking about boys. Typical, but we boys were doing the same.
"Serry, whats going on with you and Loke.. Hhhuuu?" Sherry asked, teasingly
"Nothing!" Serena replied "Then why were you with him for so long?" Levy asked
"I was asking him about my mother. See, long back, he used to be my mom's spirit." Serena said
"Oh..." the girls said in union. "Yeahhhh! And plus, I don't even like him." Serena said, oouch.
"More like hate him" Lucy said. "I don't understand why, though?" Jenny asked "I mean, he's an okay guy." she added. Okay? Just an Okay guy?! Please. More like a god.
"Whatever it may be, I just don't like the guy, OK?! Get over it!" Serena said "Alright, fine! But if you had to pick a guy from the guys in this and our guilds, which guy do you like the best?" Mira asked
"Well, me? Nastu and Gray; but they are like my elder brothers. Jellal is really nice, but taken and I don't really like him that way. The Tri-men are just a pain in the ass, but they're really hot! Lyon... Sherry likes him, so no." she took a breath "Basically, none of the guys," she finished.
I was happy when she said she didn't like anyone. Why? I don't like her.
"Serena.." Erza called "Yeah?" "If you don't mind, can you tell us why you hate Loke so much?" Erza asked. "Well...Alright." "FINALLY an explination!" Cana said while taking a sip of her beer. Yeah, finally I get to know the reasons of being hated.
"Um... you see, back home, last year..." Serena was hesitating to speak but continued anyway "I really liked this one guy. He was my first crush ever! I really really liked this boy. After a few days he asked me out, I knew it was a big mistake falling for him as he was a player, but I did anyways and for the first few weeks our relationship was great! It was all going good, until that one day... I saw him making out with the girl who really hated me. I was completely heartborken. It took me around 3 months to get over it. It really hurt. The worst thing was that he only dated me 'cuz it was a bet. I pretty much felt like crap! If it wasen't for my friends... I don't know what I would have done... Anyways so from then I stopped letting anyone in my life. I stopped myself from liking anyone. And I know it's wrong of me to hate Loke just because of this, I know not every guy is the same,but I can't help it. Loke reminds me of my ex a little too much..." Serena finally finished. There was not a single tear in her eyes, but she looked really sad. All the other girls started to comfort her.
I really didn't know this happened. At first I thought I would make her fall for me and just let it be... I don't think I can ever do that to her now! Its true... I'm an asshole. No... a Dick!
Serena's POV
"Thanks girls! I'm fine, really!" I tried to convince the girls, they wouldn't listen! I am so happy I have such good friends.
Suddenly I felt a tug on my led and I let out a yelp "Serena, what happened?" Lucy asked, I looked down to find Carla. "Oh nothing, its just Carla." I said, then I bent down and asked her what happened with happy. She thanked me and said what I told her worked! I am SO HAPPY those two cats. I think me and Carla just got a whole lot closer!
