Hey!
Congrats for reading this far! Please think of things you would like to mention while reading, please. (So you can review)
LISANNA, GAJEEL, AND... WE SHALL SEE WHO...
The chainsaw came down faster and faster.
Lisanna wondered what it felt like to die, as she was sure she was about to. She was pretty sure that in order to stop Gajeel, he would have to hurt her. The only way Lisanna could avoid death was to trick Gajeel into hurting her without killing her, or otherwise seriously hurting her. The only problem was that Gajeel only knew how to hurt people bad enough to kill them, or seriously hurt them.
Lisanna was ready, though, because she knew that her life was practically nothing compared to her friends lives. Honestly, sometimes she felt a little useless, but others, she felt like a burden. She reflected her bad memories, and reminisced upon the good ones, trying to make sure she remembered all of her memories, as they were so important.
And then she realized that it had been way too long before she was going to be beheaded. Lisanna heard a low growl from Gajeel. She felt the presence of someone else standing over her, perhaps blocking the chain saw. She granted herself a peek, and gasped.
"Laxus?"
ERZA, JELLAL, MIRAJANE, GRAY, AND JUVIA
Jellal was in a very not fun situation.
He had Mirajane taking pictures of him every two seconds. He had Gray laughing his ass off. He had Juvia in the background, undoubtedly another witness.
And then there was Erza, who was clutching his shirt and snuggling him while he lay on the ground, in terror of Mirajane and her mighty pink camera.
Everyone had frozen up when it seemed like Erza was going to wake up. Apparently she didn't have a reputation of being sweet all the time. He bet they were all imagining her glaring at them and attacking them, which Jellal knew was actually a possibility.
But no, she wasn't warding them off so they could nap because they were damn tired. She was trying to go back to sleep. She shifted herself so that she was stretched across him, grabbing his shirt and mumbling things. Jellal was desperately trying to get her off him, and Mirajane had not ceased her picture taking. He held his hand up to her.
"Now, Mirajane, you've had your fun, now you can stop taking pictures!"
Mirajane looked shocked. "Why would I do that?" she asked innocently. "I want to catch you when she wakes up and sees you. It'll be great. Though I wish I had been there when Gray saw you. That would have been great."
Jellal gaped at her. His entire head turned as red as a tomato. Redder, in fact.
"W-what are you talking about?" he asked, stuttering.
She smiled sweetly. "Oh, I know all about that. Gray told me all about it."
Jellal looked up at her in horror. "He told you." he said weakly.
Erza hugged him tighter and put her face to his neck. He started to smile at her, but caught himself and glared at Mirajane's camera lens.
"You know I could blow that thing to pieces."
Gray stopped laughing for a moment, caught his breath, and looked at Jellal, horrified.
"NO! Don't invoke her! She'll beat the crap out of you!"
"No," said Mirajane. "I think Jellal, being a heavenly body mage, might be a good match against me."
"Woah. He's a heavenly body mage? I had no idea.. You think you know a guy..." Gray said, sighing.
"I don't really care right now! And otherwise, Gray, you've never known me!" yelled Jellal, infuriated.
Erza stirred. Everyone froze again. She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and spotted Jellal.
"Mmmm... Why is my face in your neck?" she slurred, turning her head towards Mirajane and Gray.
"Uh," muttered Jellal. "Because you put it there." (Well no shit, Sherlock)
"Oh, I forgot about that." she blinked, and everyone flinched. Erza saw Mirajane, who was waving her camera between snaps.
Her eyes widened and she surveyed the situation. She blinked a couple more times in surprise.
"Gray?" she said quietly.
"Y-yes?" he whimpered.
"Mirajane?" she said quietly again.
"Uh huh?" she said, smiling.
"Why are you here?"
"Because," Mirajane giggled. "This is so much more fun than watching Natsu and Lucy back at the guild!"
Erza pushed herself off of Jellal's chest and stood, drinking in the fact that Lucy had been saved, and the monster must have been killed. Jellal looked a little bit disappointed when she got off him, but then he shook his head really hard, trying to rid himself of the thought.
Erza looked at Mirajane and her camera.
"Give me the camera."
Mirajane widened her eyes in mock surprise, but she had the look of someone saying: I knew it.
"What will you give me for it?"
"I'll let you beat up Natsu the next time I catch him peeping on Lucy."
Mirajane choked. "Natsu's been peeping! On LUCY? You might actually have to get me before you spook him, that would be amazing!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" yelled Gray in surprise.
Erza's face showed no emotion. Inside, however, she was chuckling. If Natsu had peeped on Lucy, he wouldn't be alive right then.
"Yes."
Mirajane gave in, and handed the camera to Erza, who began deleting pictures, her cheeks turning red as she looked at them. She would stop, every once in a while, and save one of them. Jellal couldn't stand the tension anymore.
"Hey, can I see any of them?" he said, getting up.
Erza snatched the camera towards herself, even though he hadn't even asked for it or held his hand out.
"NO."
Jellal backed off. "Okay, whatever you want."
Gray watched, but when he got bored, he started walking backwards slowly. Jellal noticed him, however, and ran up to him with inhuman speed and tackled him. They fell to the ground with a big
"OOF!"
"Where do you think you're going?" whispered Jellal.
Gray grunted, trying vainly to free himself from Jellal's grapple hold. "Get off me." he said, his voice low and menacing.
"Break it up!" yelled Erza, requiping into her normal armor.
Jellal got up off of Gray, and gave him a hand. Gray took it cautiously, and stood up.
"Now," said Erza. "I believe we have a much bigger problem than this."
NATSU, LUCY, AND HAPPY
Thankfully, a boatman was crazy enough to let Natsu take a ride to 'that island over there I have no idea where it is'.
He looked like a boat captain from one of those old fashioned pirate movies. Kind of like Blackbeard, when you think about it. And weirder, he kept grinning his toothless mouth at them, like, like, like he had teeth... Eeeew... (LOL)
His sailboat was small and weathered, and he said he would get them wherever they wanted, but for a couple thousand jewel. Lucy had gulped, thinking of her rent, but agreed to pay.
She sat on the starboard side on the floor planks, feeling the wind brush through her hair, the salty sea making the air smell briny. Happy sat on her lap, looking over at the empty horizon. It was nearly midday now, and they were both starting to get thirsty. The sun shone down on them all, and Lucy could only wonder what kind of sunburn she was getting.
Natsu, however, was not thinking about water or sun. In fact, no one was really sure what he was thinking.
"BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRGGGG!" he moaned, his head and arms limply hanging over the side of the boat on the other side. "I'm never going to ride a stupid train again!" he yelled, before shivering and shutting his mouth.
"Natsu," Lucy said, trying not to laugh, "This isn't a train."
Happy showed no response to her teasing of Natsu, however. His eyes were glued to the sea, probably in search of that island. This surprised Lucy. Usually Happy would be rubbing Natsu's stupidity in his face, maybe throwing in another joke. Now he was just frowning unhappily.
"IIII DDOOOON'TTT CARRREE IFFF IT'SSS NOTTT AAA TRAAAIIINNN!" Natsu bellowed.
Lucy, feeling sympathetic, walked carefully over to Natsu's side of the boat. She sat next to him and tried to keep his mind off of his stomach.
"So," she said, ignoring his constant moans of pain. "What are we going to do after we get to the island?"
Natsu replied by heaving into the briny blue.
Lucy vowed never to swim in the sea ever again. Natsu surprised her, however, and attempted conversation with her.
"L-lucy," he stuttered. "I-" he stopped himself and blushed.
She probably didn't want to hear it anyway.
Thank you for reading! The second 'r' in 'r n r' is REVIEW!
And remember, if I see a suggestion before I've finished the chapter, I'll definately put it in! (Unless I HATE it)
