A/N: I don't own Cherry Pop, EunieBerry does. I know everyone knows that I don't own the story but I had to put that there just to be safe.
Chapter 10: The Bet
"But"
"I don't care Lucy" Erza shouted "We're going to read the rest of the story and that's finely" Lucy feeling defeated nodded her head having to agree with the rest of the group.
"What's wrong with the story Luce?" Natsu asked noticed that Lucy was not happy one bit.
"First of all, my name's LUCY not LUCE and the story has me in it, I wouldn't of minded it if the dragon slayers wasn't trying to kill me…..but they are so that why I hate it" replied Lucy
"It will be alright Luce; I bet you that you'll not get killed in this story" Natsu said "and if you do get killed then…it's your fault for not putting up a fight"
"That doesn't help you know, saying that if I get killed then it's my fault" Lucy sighed.
"But it is your fault Lucy" Gray said popping his head out of the comic book he was reading "I mean if you get killed then it's your fault you can't really blame anyone but yourself for not putting up a fight"
"I could blame the writer" everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Lucy "What are you all staring at?"
"Lucy, you can't blame the writer" Erza said bursting out with anger "the writer is the one that made the story so therefore you must respected their way of writing and move on with your life"
'Why is everyone staring at Lucy did I miss something' thought Jellal looking at the dry wall that a spider was crawling on.
"Hey Spider-man is on the wall" shouted Gray making Lucy and Juvia jump in fright, while Erza stood there not even caring about the insect.
"I'm all fired up now" said Natsu coving his fist in flame then punching the wall crushing the spider in the progress "Ha, you're not so super now….are you!" Natsu pulled his hand of the hole that he did with his fist "Hey who made a hole in my wall?"
"If you talking about the hole right in front of your eyes then I'm not even going to answer that question because you should know who did it conceding that it only happened like a second ago" said Lucy dumbfounded.
"Never mind I'll soon find out who did it sooner or later" Natsu finished speaking and stared at Gray with the intent to kill.
"Yeah…. You'll most likely forget about the hole in the wall in a couple of minute from now' thought Jellal shaking his head in disappointment.
"Can you save your stupid killing until after we have read chapter 2 of Cherry Pop" Erza said making everyone rush over to the laptop.
Chapter 2:
Right now the ONLY girls around the guild are, Lucy Heartfilia and Levy Mcgarden. The latter is currently fainted, as she feels her soul getting out of her body out of desperation and the former? Well lets just say she's petrified like a stone as she hears a very familiar footstep of a certain pink haired lad and as those footsteps gets nearer the paler she turns.
"Yep I'm placing my bet now, Lucy is going to die" Said Gajeel thinking about all the way that Lucy could die in the story.
"Hey Gajeel put me in the bet for Lucy dying" said Gray.
"You guys have no faith in Lucy" Natsu Said "Put me in for 50/50 of the bet"
"….." sighed Lucy
"Heeeeeeeeeey!? Anyoooooooone here!?"That, pink haired lad yelled as he looked around their guild
"This is weird." A long black haired man said as he notice the iron bars around the guild.
"Weird? What is?" Natsu asked.
"Are your eyes blind?" Gajeel said "Look around, there are a lot of weird iron bars here. As if someone attacked the guild"
"Haah? Bars?" Natsu said, then he look around once more andfinallynotice those weird bars "Hmm..you're right! Could it be someone attacked the guild!?"
"Tch. Took you long to finally notice" He said as he continue to look the now-empty guild "There is something going on here"
"Wait..you! Could you be the one who attack the guild!?"Natsu said to Gajeel as he put his fist in the air making the black haired lad fall on his knees on how "stupid" Natsu is.
"Fight me Natsu!" shouted Gajeel
"Why would he want to fight you?" asked Jellal
"Because he does, that why" replied Gajeel
"That makes no sense" sighed Jellal
"Are you an idiot!?" Gajeel yelled "I was with you the whole time how could I even do it!?"
"But your the only one who can use this black bars, right?" Natsu said
"No, idiot" He said "Besides can't you feel it? There's some weird spell infused in this bars"
"Spell?Infused? Dunno!" Natsu said, not really caring what the iron dragon slayer had said "Besides I'm a fire mage. How would I know a thing or two about those metal stuff"
"Sigh...that's why idiots are..." Gajeel said.
"Oy! Happy! Mira! Ice Freak! Erza! Gramps!" Natsu said as he yelled out their names as his voice echoes around the big guild "Luuuuucy!"
"luuuce" shouted Natsu
"FIGHT ME" shouted Gajeel
"I'm right here and can you stop shouting, it's really annoying" said Lucy
and still nothing.
"Sigh, I wonder if they went somewhere" Natsu said as he slumped down in one of the benches.
"ALL OF THEM?" Gajeel said "Who would leave the guild empty with this weird iron bars?"
"AH!" Natsu said "Maybe they went on the beach to have a party and left us here! This won't do! I gotta pack my things and also head to the beach!"
"HAAA!? Salamander! did you hit your head somewhere as if all of them would go to a beach!" Gajeel said as he felt his head getting heavy from all the crazy ideas Natsu's been saying. "Even Lily is gone..."
"Then where did they go?" Natsu asked
"I dunno" He replied "But I just know! There is definitely something going on here"
"OOOH! The board request is empty!" Natsu said as he dashes towards the request board.
"HEY! LISTEN TO ME! DAMN IT!" Gajeel exclaimed out of frustration
"Geez. Calm your irons dude" Natsu said while scratching the back of his head "It seems like they just went to some job. Oh well I guess I gotta go home and leave" And before Natsu can leave the place, Gajeel grab him by his scarf and said "Don't you think it weird?"
"HAAAAH? Sheesh. What's your problem?" Natsu said as he brush off Gajeel's arm from his precious scarf "You keep on saying weird and weird butin the end itjustso happens thatallof themwent on a job...eh!?"
"How could you all go on a job without me" said Natsu not happy that the guild left him alone with Gajeel
"We didn't leave you" Lucy replied "were all sitting right next to you"
"See? Its just weird" Gajeel said "Even those people who doesn't usually go on jobs and just stare at the board is gone"
"Yeah, Even that lazy old geezers! Macao and Wakaba!" Natsu said (Meanwhile Macao and Makaba: sneeze the moment Natsu mentioned their names)
"Now you see the picture." Gajeel said "Something is definitely happening and it feels like they abandoned this guild with this freaky iron bars." Then suddenly Gajeel touched one of those "freaky" iron bars and suddenly he felt a shock in his body as he slumped down on the floor panting for air, worried Natsu stood up and went to his side and said "Oi! Gajeel are you alright what happened...AAAH!"
Suddenly its Natsu's turn to slumped down on the floor as he suddenly felt every part of his body is on fire as some weird and 'hot' sensation spread all over his body. "Oy! Salamander...is it just me or..."
"Yeah. It feels strange. My whole body is pumping, I can hear a lot more clearly, see more clearly and...*sniff* *sniff*..."
"Whats wrong this time Salamander?" Gajeel asked.
"Smell a lot more clearer" He said as he smirk and went towards the bar area.
"Huh?" Gajeel said this time he tried sniffing around and then he smirk and said "I see your right"
He followed Natsu towards the bar area while smirking and as they lean each other.
"Gihi" He said as he look down and smirk at the sight of two, very familiar faces "I see one bunny girl and a little puppy"
"Eeep" Levy said as she shriek in surprise upon seeing the "scary" expression Gajeel Redfox is doing.
"Oh! Found You! Lucy!" Natsu said as he jump over the counter and surprise the blonde
"Eeek, Na...Natsu" Lucy exclaimed
"So what are you guys doing here?" Natsu asked as he leaned forward Lucy, making the blond blush. "Are you guys playing hide n' seek?Let me join too!"
"..." Lucy didn't say anything but she was clutching her keys as if she's holding for her dear life.
"It seem like these two knows what's going on here" Gajeel said "Right? Levy." This time Levy is trembling as she heard Gajeel say her name which rarely really happens because he usually calls her 'Midget' and stuff like that.
"Eh? So you two aren't playing hide n' seek!?" Natsu asked, as he move another step making Lucy blush more.
"..."
"..."
"Hmm...So you won't tell us anything!?" Gajeel said.
"..."
"..."
"Still nothing, eh? Sigh..." He said then for a moment he stop to think of what to do then as if a cartoon like light bulb appeared, he smirk and said. "Oi...Salamander it seems like this time around Midget and your Bunny girl wants to play tag"
"Really? Is that it?" Natsu said making Lucy shake her head in the thought "Well then why don't we four play Tag!? Since it feels like those guys won't be back yet!So why don't we play tag!? We'll be the It so...Ready...start"
The moment Natsu said start, Lucy and Levy began to ran for dear life or rather for their dear 'chastity' making Natsu and Gajeel shocked and at the same time thrilled as their competetiveness of the two awakens together with their adrenaline.
"Hmm...So you won't tell us anything until we catch you eh? Oh well if that's how you want to play it then..." Gajeel said as he smirk at the running figure of the two "Oy! Salamander you get the bunny girl, Mine is...the midget"
"Hnn. That's what I've been planning from the start" he said as he smirk back at him "Lucy is mine so don't you dare catch her"
"Hmmpph we'll see..." Gajeel said then within a blink of an eye those two dashed off to catch them while Lucy and Levy were doing their best in running away with hope that they'll be able to protectthe thingthat they've beenprotectingfor seventeen years.
"Haha...Go on! Keep Running" Natsu said to Lucy "Cause as an IT, I'll definitely catch you. Lucy!"
"….." Lucy didn't want to say anything because she knew how the story was going to unfold
"Man, I do love being the bad guy; it reminds me of when I used to be in a different guild before I joined the Fairy Tail Guild" said Gajeel feeling proud of himself for being the bad guy.
Making our dear blonde blush at the seductive way and over flowing pheromones Natsu has been unconsciously releasing as he said her name and at that very moment she understand that blushing isno good,an attraction to a sexually frustrated dragon slayer(or is about to be one...)is definitely not good because that just means that she...and her... Chastity is in danger and what she had feared might happen... and that is...
She might actually get EATEN!
"Wow that was entertaining" Erza said "I can't wait for chapter 3 that where the really fun begin, I bet"
"Oh the joy" said Lucy slamming her head onto the computer desk
"Yeah I can't wait ever" Natsu said raising his fist up into the air "Wait…who the hell made a massive hole in my wall" everyone signed at Natsu who couldn't remember the littlest of things
'I told myself he would forget about the hole in the wall and it turns out that I was right" thought Jellal
Um...I don't know what to say here apart from I hope that you enjoyed reading the chapter.
