Gray had reached a decision after a week of thinking. He was going to figure out if Lucy was dating Rogue. He wasn't sure at first, but he figured out a solution. That's what got himself in his current situation. He thought that it would be fun to have all of his friends go somewhere for the weekend. That's what he said, but he, of course, had a different motive. He informed Lisanna, Mira, and Levy of his plan, knowing they would help. Lisanna and Levy were great with relationships. Mira was too, but he really needed her event planning.

"That one looks fun!" Lisanna said, pointing to a water slide.

For the weekend, Mira told everyone that they would all be going to Magnolia Land. There was a water park, an amusement park, a huge arcade, and many other fun attractions. They all had to ride a bus for three hours to get there, but it was worth it. They all booked hotel rooms, gender split, near the park so they could enjoy themselves the whole weekend.

Currently, Lisanna, Mira, Lucy, and Gray were in their own group at the water park. Mira thought the guys would have fun by themselves. Erza went with them to keep them in line and spend time with Jellal. Mira sent Levy with them to get her closer to Gajeel, possibly killing two birds with one stone. Cana just went with the guys since, well, she was one of the guys. Mira insisted that Gray come with them because they need 'a big, strong guy to protect them, since they are so irresistible with their womanly charms, strangers wouldn't be able to let them walk past without going after them.' That was the grand excuse, at least.

"Yeah, that looks fun," Gray said. It was a giant slide where two people sit on an inner tube together.

"I'll go with Lucy," Lisanna said, grabbing the blonde's arm.

Just when the four were about to get in line, Mira stopped walking. "Lisanna," she said worriedly, hoping she was acting well enough. She really only needed to fool Lucy. "We need to go." She grabbed Lisanna's arm.

Lisanna saw the weird look Lucy was giving Mira. "Why, what's wrong?" she asked, hoping that Mira could give Lucy an explanation.

Mira cursed under her breath. She really thought she wouldn't have to make an excuse. She hugged Lisanna's arm and looked at Gray, a smug look on her face. She said that first thing that came to mind. "Girl problems."

Gray sweat dropped. He wasn't sure if that could have gone worse if they tried. Lucy seemed convinced, though. He looked at her and saw that she looked pretty nervous. He loved that she was wearing a shirt over her bikini. It didn't make sense, though, since the shirt was white.

"Are you kids riding?" the operator asked.

"Yes, sorry," Gray apologized. He grabbed an inner tube from the stack in the corner and set it down.

"Smallest person in the front," the operator said with a bored expression.

Lucy sat in the front. Gray say behind her and grabbed the handles. The operator pushed them down the slide. Lucy ended up screaming and grabbing Gray's arms, trying to hide behind them. He just laughed and hugged her waist. She moved her hands over her eyes, not wanting to watch in front of her. The ride seemed oddly long.

When the ride ended, Lucy got out of the pool as fast as she could. She went over to one of the many seats that were lined up and sat down, hugging herself. She was so scared she was shaking. She wasn't sure why that scared her, but it did.

"Hey, are you okay?" Gray asked, sitting beside her. She shook her head, trying not to cry. Gray looked back to the ride and realized why Lisanna picked that one. It was designed to have you move really fast. It was also made out of black plastic, so it was very dark. With all those twists and turns it was no surprised that she was crying.

"Do you want to go walk around?" Gray asked. She nodded and stood up. She silently followed him back to the locker area. The whole group just rented one to keep their clothes in. They both took their clothes before going their separate ways to change.

When they were both done, they went to the little park area. Gray smiled that Lucy nervously grabbed his one hand with both of hers. A lot of shops were around the park, and Gray found an ice cream one. He left Lucy at a tree where no one else was really around. He came back with a strawberry cone and a mint chocolate chip cone. Lucy took the strawberry.

"Brings back memories, huh?" Gray asked, leaning against the tree. He remembered that Lucy had a picture of them sitting against a tree wen they were younger, eating ice cream.

"Why don't you take a picture?" Lucy asked quietly. "It'll be like a before and after."

"Okay, if you want," Gray said, taking his phone out of his pocket. He turned the camera to front and held it out. Lucy smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder. That made him smile. Even after he took the picture, she kept her head there.

"What about Mira and Lisanna?" Lucy asked, suddenly remembering that they were with them earlier.

"Oh, uh, Mira texted me," Gray lied. "They met up with everyone else. I guess they were all going to do this water war thing and the teams weren't even." Right after he spoke, he wanted to slap himself. If Lisanna and Mira joined them, it would add two people. So the teams would be just as even with or without them. Lucy didn't seem to notice, though. She just took her head off his shoulder to lick her ice cream.

Gray licked his as well. He looked over at Lucy. She was looking up at the clouds. He noticed that she had ice cream on her nose. He reached out and wiped it off with his thumb. And blushed and looked over at him. She blushed more when she noticed how close they were.

"Has he made any move to kiss you?"

Yukino's words rang through Lucy's head. It was like a broken record. Her head was spinning. Gray's hand was still cupping her face and his thumb was running over her cheek, occasionally brushing over the corner of her mouth. She noticed that Gray was looking right into her eyes. Yukino's voice got louder the closer Gray as their lips were about to touch, Lucy dropped her cone of the ground and pushed him away. He was so shocked he dropped his cone. She stared at him with wide eyes.

Lucy almost couldn't bare the shocked look on Gray's face. It almost looked like he would cry. He stood up and turned away from her. She stood up, too. He looked over his shoulder at her. He looked down at his feet and ran off.

He knew it was Rogue.


Gah! I haven't updated for, like, two weeks! I was visiting family for about a week and a half so I guess I wasn't writing every day like I usually do. But have no fear! I'm now using the calendar on my phone to make events of when I update stories. That way I can see how long its been. I was just checking the dates under my stories, but apparently that meant nothing. I was thinking, "Oh, June 22. That hasn't been that long." Then I look at the calendar and realize that it was almost two weeks!

So I have an Instagram and Tumblr now. I realized the Facebook thing was pretty much useless. I actually deleted the page. But I know tons of people of Instagram. I just use that to post my art. I've joined a couple contests, too. As for Tumblr, Nora57 PM me and told me that there is this cool GraLu week thing on there. So, of course, not being able to resist GraLu, I make a Tumblr. But I will use it once I figure it out!
