A/N. ASDFGHJKL; It's already the 11th chapter! I'm so proud of myself! *cries proud tears* Poll is still up! Important! – It's only a couple days until I leave for vacation! I will not be updating next week! This chapter is going to be mainly about Lucy and the others (the girls of them, that is)

Lucy's POV
I heard a loud beeping sound. On instinct, I smashed whatever thing was making that sound. I groggily opened my eyes and saw what I smashed. It was a little devil alarm that I borrowed from Lucifer. Tch. He can go to hell right now for giving me this, I blamed him in my thoughts, even though I asked him for an alarm. I decided to just leave the broken alarm there, and got dressed in the school uniform. I really hated the uniform, but at least I could wear the chains and sneakers. I then decided to grab the alarm and hid it behind my back. I opened the door and saw Lucifer and Takumi eating cupcakes. I rubbed my eyes.
"Lucy, want a cupcake? We know you like the chocolate ones," Lucifer smirked and waved a chocolate cupcake in his hand. I scowled.
"You, CAN GO TO HELL FOR GIVING ME THAT ALARM!" I yelled, throwing the broken alarm pieces at him. His face took the whole damage as he fell backwards, the chocolate cupcake falling in air. In a flash, I grabbed the cupcake and started to eat it. Takumi raised an eyebrow.
"Is it that time of the month?" He asked. I glared at him.
"Urusai, idiot Takumi. I couldn't sleep due to the loud screams. Next time, shove a handkerchief in their mouths or something! Plus, I gotta go and beat up this kid!" I yelled. He put his hands up in defense.
"Somebody is in cold anger," Takumi muttered. I whipped my head around and glared at him viciously. He rolled his eyes.
"Tch," I looked away, and ate the rest of my cupcake. After that, I grabbed my bag and walked out, heading for school.
-At Class-
~Lucy's Dream~
I saw myself as a little girl in a red and black dress with blonde hair put into pigtails – me. I waved my hand in my face and saw an invisible hand. I must be seeing a memory, so I probably look like this, I thought. The four-year old of myself was standing in the middle of a burnt down house with blood and bodies everywhere. She (A/N. I don't wanna use 'myself' so I'll use she) was staring down at the dead body of my mom.
"Ne Mama, do you know why there is blood everywhere?" She asked in a cheerful-ish kid-like voice, blood splattered on her cheek. I walked over to where she stood, looking down at my mom. I could now see how she died – a bullet to the chest. I looked up and saw her walk over to my dad's dead body. "Ne Papa, you know why blood is everywhere? Because you caused this, right? You didn't trust Mama's friends, so you rounded them up and killed them, right? But you killed Mama, too, in the killing," She said, smiling a little. I remembered now; I was a pretty intelligent child back then, and around when that event happened, that probably caused me this personality now. After I would talk to Papa, I had grabbed some of his money and burnt it into the fire, and then walked away to a nearby town. However, that didn't happen.
Instead, she turned to look at me, and tilted her head. "You. I created you, ne? I am you, after all, so I created the future me. Technically, I'm your past self. Now, take a look at the other future me I created, which you also created. Technically, we both created each other. Ja ne, B-" She was cut off as I was transferred to another scene. It was me, bloodied and clothes ripped and torn. She was being held up by the hands of an unknown black haired man. The "future me" – I guess – was smiling evilly, puzzling the man. She then laughed sadistically – sort of, since she was choking - , before smiling evilly again.
"Go on, why don't you finish me off? But you'll never hurt him! Never! Whatever it takes, you will not hurt-!" Her yells were cut off by another, but a faint one.
"HEARTFILIA!" It sounded like Erza's voice. Wait! What about- I looked over to the scene and saw that scene was dissolving. Then, was this a dream...? I thought.
~End of Lucy's Dream~
"HEARTFILIA!" I snapped my eyes open. I lifted my head off the desk and looked up at Erza.
"Hai hai, I heard you," I yawned, rubbing my eye. I then took out a Pocky and started eating it, amused by the substitute teacher, Mr. Gildarts, who was once again sleeping on the teacher's desk.
"WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING IN CLASS?!" She yelled, pointing a finger at me.
"Why should I answer if the answer is right there?" I yawned again, pointing a finger at Mr. Gildarts.
"He is a teacher! I-"
"All the more reasons that I may very well sleep in here. Where's the idiot?" I asked, looking around trying to find the obvious pink hair. To my disappointment, I didn't find him. Damn it to hell! I stayed around for the plan only to find out he's gone. I thought bitterly.
"Hmph. Very well then, I am sorry for my yelling. And Natsu caught a cold from being out in the rain," Erza crossed her arms and closed her eyes. I shrugged.
"Hey Lucy, Erza. Aren't you excited for the Ball that's coming up in about four days?" Gray appeared. bringing up a totally random subject.
"I don't see a reason why to answer," I said to him bluntly. He looked over to Erza, who was stuttering and blushing.
"I-I'm g-going to the B-B-Ball with J-J-J-J-Jellal," She stammered. I raised an eyebrow.
"Jellal Fernandez? Bluehead? Red tattoo?" I asked. She nodded slowly.
"H-How do you know him?! D-Do you like him?!" She exclaimed at me. I rested my cheek on the palm of my hand.
"Met him once. Told me 'bout you. End of answer," I rolled my eyes, and smirked slightly. I saw her blush even harder, but I couldn't emphasize with her. How could one blush so hardly over a single boy? Sure, I knew the meaning of love, like, crush, etc. by reading from various books when I was little, but I couldn't feel it. There was once a love for my parents, yes, but that had long since disappeared, and now that feeling is forgotten.
"Well, w-who is your date then?" Erza asked me.
"Isn't it obvious?" I gave her a look that said, 'Are you kidding me'. Her eyes narrowed.
"So the rumors are true. You have fallen for Gajeel Redfox!" She nodded in approval. My face hit the desk. How could the President be such an idiot?! I thought.
"Who gave you that idea?" I glared at her.
"Well, there was a rumor that Gajeel knew you, and that you secretly liked him. Is it true?" She explained.
"I. will. never. like. a. freaking. tin. can." I said through gritted teeth.
-Another class-
Gajeel sneezed. Juvia gave him a tissue.
"Gajeel-kun, are you okay? Did you catch a cold?" She asked him. He shook his head.
"Somebody must be talking about me...," He said, wondering who could it be.
-Back to Lucy and Erza-
"Then, who is your date?" Erza asked.
"Ask Gray," I looked over to Gray, who was thinking. Then, an imaginary light bulb lit up on top of his head.
"HER DATE IS NATSU!" He yelled out loud, hitting his fist into the palm of his hand. Students stared at us like we were crazy. The girls began gossiping immediately, while the boys cried fake tears about how "their future wife was stolen". I mentally threw up as I heard one actually said that. Erza looked over to me in bewilderment.
"Is Natsu, the dense, idiotic, dumb guy, seriously your date to the Winter Ball?" Erza raised her eyebrow.
"Would you want me to go with Gajeel when he likes Levy?" I smirked at her.
"He likes Levy?" I face palmed. "I take that a yes. But anyway, why Natsu?"
"Why can't it be Natsu?" I countered.
"Because he's dense and an idiot," She immediately replied. I sighed.
"It's not like I like him. The world will end the day I love him," I rolled my eyes. She nodded in agreement.
"Hey! What about me? Nobody going to ask me?" Gray said loudly. I raise an eye.
"Hm. A boy wanting to take part in 'girl talk'. How manly," I mocked. He blushed a little in embarrassment.
"Very well then. Gray, who is your date?" Erza asked, looking at him. He turned his head and looked away, and started to scratch his cheek.
"W-well, it's actually-" He was cut off by fangirl screams.
"KYAAAAAAA! IT'S GOTTA BE NATSU! YOU LOVE NATSU! GRAY X NATSU FOREVERRR! KYAAAAAAA!" They yelled. I sweat dropped. Didn't they hear the part about my date? I thought. It took about five whole minutes for the fangirls to stop screaming.
"Well, um. Okay then, I'll continue. My date is actually J-" He was once again cut off.
"KYAAAAAAA! WE KNEW IT! YOU'RE GONNA SAY NATSU! KYAAA!" They screamed, hearts floating around them. How could a J sound turn to an N sound? I thought, face palming. It took another three minutes for them to stop.
"My date is-"
"KYAAAA-"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" He yelled, enraged. They gave him glares.
"You just haven't realized your love for Natsu! You'll realize it soon!" One of them yelled out, fist in air.
"FINE THEN! MY DATE IS JUVIA!" He yelled out loud. Everybody who weren't listening –somehow- looked at him strangely. He turned to stone. "D-Did I just...yell that?" He said, laughing nervously. The Natsu & Gray Yaoi Fan Club was enraged.
"DON'T WORRY! YOU'LL REALIZE YOUR LOVE SOON! UNTIL- MMPHHH!" One of the girls yelled until a tall girl slapped a hand over her mouth.
"I apologize. As president, I take full responsibility for letting them inside the classroom," She bowed, and led the club away.
"Where did they come from anyway?" Erza asked. Everybody shrugged, and went back to doing whatever it is they do. After about six minutes, the bell rang for lunch. I grabbed my bag and headed to the cafeteria.
-Lunch-
"Hm...no...that isn't correct," I muttered to myself as I took another sip of coffee. I was drawing once again, because I was bored. This time, it was a drawing of a devil twin – boy and girl – holding hands together, as the other hands held swords pointed straight ahead. I thought it was pretty neat.
"Sugoi! (A/N. Roughly means "Wow!" or "Whoa!" in Japanese) What an amazing drawing!" I heard a voice behind me. I turned my head around, and looked at the person with lazy eyes. It was the blue haired shorty. Leah? Lily? Ivy? What was it?
"Hmm...are you...Lily?" I pondered, thinking hard. She turned into stone.
"N-No...I'm Levy! Levy McGarden! What's your name?" She introduced herself, holding out a hand. I stared at it, then turned my head back so I could finish the drawing. "That was rude!"
"Depends on what you think rudeness is," I replied, sketching their shoes. "It could be rude to suddenly ask for somebody's name," I stated.
"Well-" She was cut off by a gruff voice.
"Hey Shrimp. What are you doing here with Bunny Girl here?" He asked. I mentally laughed. Bunny Girl? C'mon Gajeel, you know better! I thought.
"Anyway, I wanted to invite Lucy to our sleepover tonight! I thought she'd like it!" Levy cheerfully exclaimed. A tick mark appeared on my head. They're talking like I'm not here. Wait, better solution – ignore the idiots. I thought, nodding to myself. As I was about to finish the drawing, Gajeel put his hands on my shoulders and turned me around.
"Oi, Bunny Girl, Levy wants to invite you to the sleepover. They want to have a get together before the Ball or some crap. If you don't go, she'll cry," Levy smacked his arm.
"Sleepovers aren't my thing," I rolled my eyes. But then an idea popped in my head. But then I could also be together with them so that it could flow smoothly. Looks like I gotta grow this friendship bond with them. But I can't easily change a personality that easily. But that blue head has to do some persuading, I thought. I looked over to Gajeel as he caught my eye. He nodded slightly and whispered something in the blue head's ear. Her eyes lit up brightly.
"We'll bring you chocolate sweets if you come!" She said cheerfully. I mentally face palmed. This was the best he could come up with?
"Fine. Bring a lot, though," I glared at her slightly. She ignored it though, and walked back to the other table. I sighed. Tonight was going to be long.
-Time Skip to Sleep Over-
My guard should not be down. I can't wear my usual clothing underneath because the pajamas that'd be suspicious if they found out. I'll be in a vulnerable state. Damn it! I feel so weak, I cursed in my mind as I walked up the front steps to Erza's mansion. I knocked on the door. Juvia appeared in her pajamas, which was a long blue gown, opening the door.
"Erza-san! Love rival is here!" Juvia called out. Why would I be a love rival? I thought, confused. Erza appeared in her pajamas, running.
"Welcome, Heartfilia. Come inside," She motioned her hand for me to come in. I grabbed my black bag and stepped inside. Everything was fancy, with a large chandelier and portraits of probably Erza's grandmothers and grandfathers, and the ones before them. But it was nothing compared to my old mansion. I followed her up to her room on the second floor. Her room was huge, but I'm sure mine was a little bigger, even for my little four-year old eyes when I was younger.
Levy, a wavy light brown haired girl, another brown haired girl, Lisanna, and Mirajane were sitting on Erza's large bed, or on the fancy velvet sofa. They looked at us when we came in.
"Lucy! You came! We brought a chocolate cake for you!" Levy cheered as she handed me a tasty looking cake. However, I knew better when tasting foods. I looked at it carefully, then sniffed it a little. I mentally checked off all the ingredients I smelled and saw, and concluded it safe. I put it on the table near the sofa.
"Lucy, this is Evergreen and Cana. Evergreen is a senior and is actually a friend of Mr. Dreyar. Cana is Mr. Gildart's daughter, and is also a second year." Erza introduced them. I put my hands in the pocket of my jacket and smirked.
"Yo. Name's Lucy Heartfilia." I introduced myself. Cana – I think, the darker shade of brown hair – had a beer bottle.
"Hello *hic* Lu-*hic*-cy. Want some beer?" She held up the bottle.
"Sorry ta disappoint you, but I don't drink beer," I shrugged. Evergreen – I think she's the one with glasses and wavy brown hair – was filing her nails.
"Okay, minna! First of all, list your dates." Mirajane smiled and clapped her hands.
"Natsu."
"J-J-J-Jellal!"
"Freed."
"G-Gajeel!"
"Gray-sama, of course."
"B-Bixlow..."
"Hah! I don't have a date!"
The last one was proudly proclaimed by Evergreen. "But I thought you looked great with Laxus-sensei!" Mirajane said 'innocently'. Evergreen blushed a little.
"He's a teacher! There's no way he could be Evergreen's date!" Lisanna countered.
"Lisanna, you must learn that love has no bounds. If you wish to be like your older sister, you must become a matchmaker and see all possibilities of love!" Mirajane lectured Lisanna, who was nodding and memorizing it.
"So, Lucy, was it? You actually have guts to like Natsu?" Evergreen asked me. I shrugged.
"He's just a convenient guy, you could say." I replied. They nodded.
"Yeah, I ordered him to buy me the makeup over at that fancy store..." Evergreen nodded in agreement.
"Really? I asked him to hold all five bags full of my clothes when I went shopping!" Lisanna said.
"I order him all the time to go do things for me. As President, I am too busy, so he should do it for me since he's the vice-president!" Erza crossed her arms.
"Juvia doesn't interact much with Natsu-san, but Juvia has asked Natsu-san to go deliver a love letter to Gray-sama once!"
"*hic* I got him to get me some more beer! *hic*"
"And what about you, Lucy?" They all leaned in on me. I closed my eyes, and opened them, smirking.
"Me? He actually looks out for me. I don't do much of an ordering because I'd rather do them on my own," I replied. They "ooh"ed and pondered about it. Then Mirajane clapped her hands.
"Well then! How about makeup, hairdos, and makeovers!" She cheerfully exclaimed. I groaned a little. I hated these things. "First, makeup!" Mirajane ordered. Erza nodded, and went over to another door. She opened it, to be revealed with tables for makeup and facial stuff. All the girls –except me of course- 'ooh'ed again in amazement.
"Well girls, inside!" Mirajane pointed her finger towards the room. I began to dread coming here.
-10 minutes later-
"Kyaa! Lucy, you look so much prettier!" Mirajane leaned in on me.
Erza nodded. "I agree. You look pretty with makeup."
"Makeup doesn't suit me," I scowled. They rolled their eyes.
"Natsu will love you! I know it because he's my childhood friend!" Lisanna shoved a mirror in my face. The last time I did makeup, I only did eyeliner so that I could look more dangerous and seductive for an act. The eyeliner was about the same thing I did – nice, and sharp. There was dark red lipstick on my lips, mascara, and faintly added blush. I sighed.
"Can I get rid of this now? I've seen my 'prettyness'," I rolled my eyes. They pouted.
"Party pooper! Oh well. Time to do the others!" Mirajane pouted, but somehow instantly recovered. I began to carefully wipe off the makeup as the others complimented on how great their makeup was.
-30 minutes later-
"How do Juvia look in this?" Juvia stepped out of Erza's walk in closet, wearing a pretty off-the shoulder dark blue dress that looked a bit formal. It had a black belt around the abdomen, and had little sparkles around the bottom. She also wore dark blue heels, but her hair was still the same.
I sighed. How much longer? I thought.
"Hey Lucy! It's your turn!" Levy called me and pushed me inside the closet. Mirajane was in there, smiling "innocently". I looked around. Too many colorful dresses, I frowned a little.
"Don't worry, we'll find a black or gray dress!" Mirajane had glinting eyes. I sweat dropped as she dived towards me.
-About 5 minutes after-
I was pushed out of the closet. I 'tch'ed, trying to get a little used to walking in the heels. I walked out before suddenly something – or rather, somebody- pink was shoved in my direction, and fell down on me. I tried to groan a little, but realized that their lips were on mine. I opened my eyes, and saw pink hair covering my view. My eyes widened.
And end! ^-^ Probably the longest I wrote in a while! Whew! Pfft, you already know who the person is at the end. Quite obvious. If somehow you don't get it –again- , think of pink, and hair. Probably a no-brainer there :p. Poll is still up, btw! And ... yeah that's all I have to say :x.
