Lucys POV
"or he's cheating on me" as Soon as those words left my lips i felt a wave of hurt rush through me. All of the girls grouped around me sharing words of comfort.
"he would never do that or I would kill him." Erza insisted, a dark aura surrounding her making all the girls shake in fear.
"yeah Lu-chan, I know Loke used to be like that but it's different with you! I mean he knows your bad experiences and how much he means to you, I bet he really is just tired or something." Levy said as she gave me a supportive hug.
"hai, I think Levy is right but, to be honest, I agree more with Erza; not only would he get beaten up by Erza he would feel my wrath and be turned to stone." Evergreen shouted with a sinister smirk on her face. Note to self, never piss off Evergreen!
"yeah Loke really loves you. In all the time I have known him, he has never looked at another girl like he has looked at you, trust me!" Mira said, patting me on the back.
Juvia then burst out saying."Besides you must stay with Loke otherwise you will become Juvias love rival again and Juvia does not want that! Juvia wants Gray!"
I started to smile as I brought everyone into a huge hug."Awwwww you guys, thank you sooo much!"
"Alright, to cheer Lucy up let the games begin!" Laki shouted whilst punching the air.
"ok let's go" Lisanna said as she spread out the vast amount of games in the round space in the middle of the mattresses.
"what shall we start off with?" asked Kitana,
"we will let Lucy decide, who agrees?" Asked Bisca. Everyone cheered in agreement and I sat there feeling slightly more reassured then when I came into this sleepover. I didn't want to tell them about mine and Loke's argument so I smiled politely and waited to choose a game as Erza instructed me on what they were.
"we have, truth or dare, a drinking contest (requested by Cana), cards with a twist, the twist being that if you lost the round you have to do a small forfeit. Who can eat the most strawberry cake , which My marvellous mind came up with. Blind makeovers and karaoke." Erza shouted them out as she pointed to each activity on the floor.
I thought about it for a while and decided that we should do the drinking game last, so that one was off the list and then I finally decided (after much deliberation), "I think it would be fun to play truth or dare."
"ok everyone get into a circle." Levy said as she maneuvered all the other games out of the way. Mira took an empty beer bottle off of Cana and placed it in the middle. With a flick of her wrist the bottle twirled around in a perfect circle. Everyone stared at it as the bottle kept spinning round and round. It slowly began to stop. Everyone looked over to who it was pointing at. Erza sighed as it stopped on her.
"ok, truth or dare?" Mira asked.
"hmmmmmm, trufe pweese." Erza said with a mouthful of strawberry cheesecake.
"Hey! That cheesecake was for later!" Bisca yelled, taking the plate away from Erza.
All of us huddled together and decided on a question whilst Erza was moaning in the background about how unfair life was. We all knew what it was going to be from the moment the bottle landed on her. Everyone returned to their place in the circle as Erza sat patiently waiting for her question.
I had been chosen to ask it, "so, Erza do you still like Jellal?"
she turned ten shades of red and said."I d-don't know w-what you're talking about."
"come on Erza!" evergreen said whilst nudging her shoulder.
"fine, yes I do s-still like him..." everyone cheered and the bottle was spun once again, hypnotizing anyone who looked at it. This time it slowly landed on Mira.
"truth or dare?" Kinana asked,
"dare please!" ,Mira said enthusiastically, I had the perfect dare for her and once i had told all the girls what it was they all agreed on using it.
Before we broke our huddle I said to them,"For once Mira wont be the matchmaker, mwahahaha!" wow that sounded better in my head, I am never laughing like that again...
We returned back and Juvia asked this time."the girls and Juvia dare you to ask Fried out."
Mira sat there in shock, she then turned to me as if to say 'why Lucy, why?' I gave her a smile that said 'payback time!'. All of us followed her, we were giggling all the way out to the guild where she hurried over to Fried and dragged him into a corner, we all saw her go bright red and soon after so did Fried. Her mouth moved very quickly so i was unable to see what she was saying but after a short while we saw his head slowly nod and he pulled her in for an awkward hug. Mira then scurried back over and Fried returned to Laxus who thumped him hard on the back.
"h-he said yes." she said with a smile. Again a cheer erupted and everyone in the guild stared at us before we quickly made our way back to the room so that we could continue the game.
Lucky span the bottle this time and just as we thought it would land on Cana, it moved just a tiny bit more and stopped on me.
Before anyone could ask I blurted out,"I want a dare." I grew anxious as they huddled together for a short moment before they broke apart with satisfied smiles on their faces. How did they decide that quickly? I swear it's like the drinking contest all over again... Oh god what did they choose?
"we dare you to make Natsu blush." Lisanna said with an innocent smile.
"ahhhh you had to give me the hard one!" I moaned, they were all laughing as they pushed me out the room and towards Natsu. I slowly made my way over to him, trying to take as much time as possible. "h-hey Natsu can I talk to you quickly?" I asked.
"sure thing Luce!" he jumped off the table on which he was dancing on and we made our way over to an empty corner. I had a strategy, first invade his personal space and then go straight in for the attack and finish it in one blow. After that I can see what effect I've had on him. This better work!
I stood on my tippy toes and wrapped my arms around his warm neck. Step one, invade his personal space, check. I then whispered quietly into his ear."Did you know your kinda cute." step two, attack and finish, check. I then quickly ran over to the girls, briefly glancing back to see a crimson Natsu standing there in a state of shock. Step three admire my accomplished plan, check.
"goooooo Lucy!" everyone shouted.
"how did you do it?" Cana asked, she was looking at me as though I was some sort of god, is it really that hard to make Natsu blush?
"you don't want to know." I said laughing.
"well lets hope what ever you did wont upset Loke!" Evergreen said as she pushed up her glasses.
"he'll Understand." I said as I shrugged, walking back to our room. Truth or dares went on for a while until every one was completely embarrassed and Erza demanded we moved onto the eating contest as the bottle landed on her for the tenth time.
Of course she won and was still going long after the contest had ended, everyone had lost count on what number plate she was on and soon we all decided to move on to the next game.
We all picked blind make overs together, everyone was having a great time until some of the boys walked in to see us looking like some circus freaks. Let's just say, we were left in fits of laughter and a few of the guys including Natsu, Gray and Gajeel were left emotionally scarred from the sight that they will never be able to remove from their mind.
Normal POV
The games continued long into the night. Lucy blissfully forgot about all of her worries and enjoyed having quality time with her friends. The girls, on the other hand, felt worried for Lucy, because although they spoke words of encouragement to her they all knew what Loke was like. Only a few such as Juvia, Lisanna and Kitana were ignorant to Lokes past behaviour because they had been absent in the time Loke had been a member. None told Lucy of their worries though, in fear of breaking their friends fragile heart.
After playing a game of cards with a twist, which ended in many being traumatized and a very happy Cana who conveniently won all the rounds and didn't do any forfeits, they all moved on to the drinking games. Lucy decided she would stay out of it to help referee and get refills with Mira; she knew she was no good at drinking and had very bad experiences in the morning. Cana had already started before anyone was ready, leaving everyone else to frantically catch up. She mainly wanted to win so that she could erase her embarrassment of being beaten by Bacchus.
Lucy thought it was such a shame they ran out of time to play with the karaoke machine but it didn't bother her that much.
After half an hour everyone except Lucy and Mira had passed out on the floor.
"ne Lucy, is it ok if I go tidy and lock up the guild quickly?" Mira asked.
"oh come on Mira, it's only ten o'clock! You know you just want to go and see Fried." Lucy said teasing her.
She sighed and placed her hand on Lucy's shoulder. "oh Lucy, your so good at this. Are you sure you won't take over my job in match making?"
"I'm sorry Mira but I'm not as good as you yet. But go ahead and see Fried, I need to talk to Natsu anyway!" Lucy said as she gave her a hug.
"ok I will see you in a bit." they both quietly, snuck around our unconscious friends and went separate ways to find the guys they needed to talk to.
Lucy's POV
I quickly scanned the room and saw Natsu fast asleep on a table clutching a bowl of chicken wings and snoring loudly. A smile crept on to my face as I thought of scaring him awake. I slowly snuck up to him. When I was close enough I jumped onto his back and yelled loudly into his sensitive ears. To say the least It didn't turn out like I expected, instead of him jumping in fear, he rolled over on to me practically crushing my whole body. The chicken wings were scattered everywhere and I had to kick Natsu off of me to escape his death hug. Great barbecue sauce in my hair! That will be a nightmare to get out.
"oh hey Luce, what you up to?" Natsu said with a yawn.
I pushed myself up from the floor and dusted myself off before saying, "I came over to ask if you wanna meet up tomorrow, but then you ninja attacked me in your sleep."
His face went deadly serious before he jumped up and wrapped his scarf around his face. After a few seconds of confusion Natsu clasped his hands together and shouted, "nin-nin!"
"oh ha ha very funny, so what do you say about meeting up?" I asked.
"hmmmmm 'Kay. How about two o'clock, I will come to yours." Natsu began posing in different ninja positions as he spoke to me. Oh dear lord, what have I created!
"okay I will see you then." I left Natsu to practise his poses, I looked back over my shoulder before I returned to the room at the back of the guild to see Natsu in the same position I found him in. Asleep on the table and clutching a now empty bowl.
Another brilliant idea struck me and I silently creeped over to Natsu and dragged his hand over to Grays (who was asleep on a seat near Natsu). I then made them clasp hands, I pushed their faces close together to make it look as though they were kissing and wrapped Natsu's scarf around the both of them.
I snuck over to the bar, trying to contain my laughter as I searched for the camera Mira kept behind there for these occasions. I saw it from the corner of my eye and quickly grabbed it before returning and taking millions of pictures. Mira will love me for this, it's priceless!
I returned to the room where all the girls were again and crawled into my makeshift bed. I decided it was about time I wrote to my mother and father before I went to sleep.
Dear mother and father,
How are things up there in the stars? I hope you're well and happy. I wish I could say I'm happy at the minute but to be honest I'm very confused and so many emotions are rushing through my head, I just don't know what to think anymore.
At the minute I'm having a sleepover with all my friends and it's been so much fun. They're all so lovely, you wouldn't believe it. First there's Mira who is so kind and she is like a mother to all us girls but has an addiction to match making. She wants me to be her apprentice of some sort, can you believe it!
Then there's Erza, who is strict but so fun to be around and she loves eating strawberry cheesecake. She beat all of us at a contest in eating that today but it didn't really shock any of us.
Next is little Levy who is just like me, we both love literature and I never have a dull moment with her. I just had a wonderful talk to her about the book, little women.
Bisca is another dear friend of mine who is a sort of a cowgirl and has the most adorable little daughter called Asuka.
Kitana is a very kind girl but has had a weird past, I don't know her too well but I can't wait to get to know her.
Another one I don't know too well is Lisanna. She recently came back from the dead (which Is a long story I will tell you about later) and has helped me with a lot of things recently.
There's also Laki who I don't really get to see because she is normally off on long missions with Gildarts.
Juvia is a water Mage who never fails to make me laugh, she sees me as her 'love rival' and always speaks in third person but I don't really know why.
Wendy is the youngest out of us girls and has a flying cat called Carla who can talk! Everyone loves her and she's become like my little sister.
Last but not least is Cana. She is an alcoholic but is so sweet. Me and her were partners on tenroujima island and had loads of fun! (except for going missing for several years. Sorry Father!)
Anyway I had a lot of fun with them and it helped me take my mind off my boyfriend Loke. He has been acting weird lately so I'm scared but I'm going to have a drink with Natsu tomorrow to get his opinion on the situation. I'm really tired so I'm going to have to finish this letter here.
Lots of love from me and the stars above
Lucy
XX. XX
I packed up all my stationary (which I carry everywhere with me) and laid down ready for sleep. I drifted of thinking of where I would go with Natsu tomorrow and how I would talk to him about mine and Lokes fight...
Loke: why the hell does Natsu get to hug Lucy?!
Celeste: because your being a dick!
Loke: but your making me be one!
Celeste: oh yeah! I forgot tee hee :)
Natsu: and I don't wanna be cute I wanna be... MANLY,
Celeste: oh dear, I think you have been spending too much time with Elfman.
Natsu. MANLY, MANLY, MANLY, MANLY,!
Celeste: oh god he's stuck on repeat, please review so that he will turn back to normal! I don't know how much more I can take!
