Here's another request I'm getting to.
"So, this is a girl's night out, right?"
"Right!"
"But I'm not a girl."
"Mirajane specially requested your presence."
Cobra groaned. The She-Devil had not let up on her constant attempts to make Cobra help her with her matchmaking. So far, she had only made progress when Kinana was around. But she hadn't figured that one out yet, and Cobra did not intend to let her. He had a reputation to maintain.
Unfortunately, Kinana would be here. Probably with that creepy best friend of hers. Joy.
"Fairy Hills is a stupid name for a dormitory," was his next sentence.
"Well, we didn't invent it."
Angel and Meredy had also been invited to this little gathering, and had been given the task of retrieving Cobra. Why did Meredy have to have the ability to link senses again?
"Kinana's going to be there."
"Shut up. Or I'll poison you."
Meredy grinned and let go of his hand. Dramatically jumping onto a nearby bench, she shrieked, "And then, Ultear's ghost will haunt you! FOREVER!", before jumping off and attempting to tackle Cobra. He moved, and she landed on Angel, who punched her.
"If Ultear's ghost is haunting people who hurt you, I think Angel is next."
Angel threw Meredy at him.

The girls were holding their Satanic rituals, oh sorry, meeting, on the beach outside of that dormitory.
Cobra asked why there was only a girl's dormitory. Naturally, no one bothered to answer him.
"Oh, good, good! Angel and Meredy have arrived, and they've brought our special guest!"
Cobra could hear her thoughts. 'Finally! Finally, I will get answers! Cobra won't evade me this time. Or only consent to tell me who Juvia likes. At the very least I'll get Erza. And then Lucy! And then maybe my lovely purple-haired friend….'
She was NOT getting Erza. Not as long as Jellal and Cobra were in the same guild. There was no way he was listening to Lucy's mind again. And Cobra, despite still having problems listening to her thoughts, had a sneaking suspicion who Kinana liked, and had no intention of saying anything.
Wait. Why was Happy here? And was that Yukino? Yep, away goes Angel and out comes Sorano. Cobra hoped that Mirajane didn't plan on questioning Yukino about her particular crush, as that was a prime way for Angel to come back. And then Cobra would have to physically restrain her, and that woman's nails were long. Maybe he should corrode them while she was sleeping.
At Mirajane's signal (signals, now? This was a ritual.), all the girls came to sit in a circle around a Lacrima screen. Of course Kinana had to sit next to him. And she brought…..Lisa? Lily? Laki. That girl's mind was terrifying. It was almost as bad as Oracion Seis-Angel. And Oracion-Seis Angel sat in her room, writing down new ways to kill people with household objects, and then tested them. On bunnies. Apparently bunnies, being white, would go be angels, and so she was doing them a favor.
Actually, it wasn't nearly as horrifying.
"Alright ladies, Meredy and Happy will be assisting me tonight. Meredy, who's up first?"
"Juv- never mind, we already know that one. Why is Bisca in this pile? She's married. Wendy's twelve, Mira. Oh, here's a good one. LUCY!"
Lucy jumped seven feet in the air. Meredy was excellent at yelling.
"Natsu, duh."
"Everyone sees it."
"Yeah, is this seriously contested? Obviously it's Natsu."
"See, Juvia? I told you she's not a love rival."
"Juvia supposes Meredy-san might be right."
Mirajane looked expectantly at Cobra.
"I already told you, I am NEVER looking in that girl's mind again."
"I have a name, you know!"
The Take-Over mage shook her head. "You'll answer eventually."
Meredy took out another card. Gajeel's face appeared on the screen.
"Levy, you're up!"
"Who could it be but Levy-chan!"
"G-g-guys! Stop it!"
Mirajane gave him pleading eyes. "Fine. Levy's a good liar."
Half the girls in the circle fainted. Women were certainly strange, strange creatures. Cobra would give Mirajane that one. But when Erza came…
"No one."
Cobra was surprised she could say that with a straight face. Well, most of her face. Her eyes were giving death glares to Angel and Meredy, who had both started smiling wickedly.
"Are you ssuuurreee about that?"
Of course it was Happy.
"I'm very sure. And if anyone says otherwise, I will rain swords upon them."
Wendy had the audacity to snicker. Erza didn't dare rain swords on the child. No one else moved a muscle. Cobra, Meredy, or Angel were quite capable of taking on Erza in a fight, but then they'd have to face Jellal. Who would probably Sema them, Ultear's ghost or no Ultear's ghost.
Having a meteor dropped on your head was no fun.
So Meredy read the next card.
"Mere- hey, wait a minute, why am I in here?"
"There's cards for everyone here! Even Yukino's got one!"
Oh no. Angel's head swiveled nearly 180 degrees to look at Meredy. "You put a card for Yukino?"
"Well, yeah! I mean, she hangs around with the Twin Dragons all the time, she's got to have a thing for one of them!"
"I bet it's Sting. He's a Natsu clone, Yukino's a Lucy clone. A nicer Lu-"
Whoever said that didn't finish her sentence, as Angel had leapt into the air to be her usual protective self, with a warcry. Luckily, Cobra and Meredy had a protocol for that. Cobra snatched Angel out of the air and knocked her out quite thoroughly, while Meredy took off like a rocketship to warn Sting to watch corners and rooftops for a few weeks, and possibly carry a can of Mace.
Somehow, he knew it would end like this. Why did he hang around Fairy Tail again?
Oh right. Kinana. (But Mirajane especially didn't need to know that.)
Sting's going to have a problem. A serious one. Review, request, and all that. Sayonara!
