Thanks.
Issues.
Chapter 44.
"Everything in place?" Lucy asked.
She spun the crowbar in her hand as she walked down the neighborhood with Cana.
"Yup, Gildarts flipped. He should be here in about... hmm... I say 10 or so minutes, maybe even less" Cana said.
"I wish Manelf could have at least dropped us off closer" Lucy said.
"That would be too suspicious then... Hey I saw something strange a few days back" Cana said.
"Don't you always?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah but it involved a certain anger management friend of yours" Cana said.
Lucy turned her head and stared at Cana.
"I'm pretty sure I saw that depressing blue haired girl out on the streets near Dona's the other day and I'm pretty sure she wasn't there just to say hello" Cana said.
"Dona still dealing?" she asked.
"Yup" Cana answered.
The two walked in silence after that. Lucy spinning her crowbar while Cana dragged hers on the ground. If Juvia was at Dona's then that only meant one thing, Juvia became a druggie again. If Juvia became a druggie again there can only be one reason, Gray. Lucy had a lot to do tomorrow.
"The house is right there" Cana said lifting her crowbar up.
Lucy whistled long and loud, his house was bigger than hers.
"Which car is it? I'm sure he's going to have more than one" Lucy said eyeing the place.
"He does, that's why we're going to crash all of them" Cana smirked.
Lucy shrugged and went along with the plan. Cana showed her a secret way inside the estate, climbing a wall that didn't have any security camera's on it. They moved like ninja's through the yard, Cana leading away to their destination. The garage.
"Alright Lulu take your pick" Cana said once they entered.
There had to be at least 15 cars, each one a different color and a different style. There was never twice of the same car.
"Hmmm, I'll start with this one" Lucy said running her hands across a custom painted red Ferrari with a dragon on it.
Lucy grinned as she dragged her crowbar across the doors, scratching up the paint job.
"This is going to be fun" she said.
"Let's get started shall we?" Cana asked.
The two girls totaled the cars. They wrote there initials on half of them, while the other half had some profane language on it. Lucy even got the idea to play tic-tac-toe on one car. Lucy won of course, which resulted it Cana slamming her crowbar on the hood so no one could tell. On each car they broke every window, even the little mirror glass. Lucy pulled out her knife and slashed the tires while Cana started pouring alcohol on them.
"Dude your wasting it" Lucy complained.
Cana opened her mouth but the voice that came out wasn't hers.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Asuko yelled entering his garage.
"See! You were too loud with the window smashing" Lucy said.
"Shut up, why hello Asuko" Cana said.
"Cana? What the fuck you dumb bitch?! Do you have any idea what you've just done?" Asuko asked.
"I have an idea" Cana toyed.
Lucy was a little worried, it's been nearly half and hour since they started smashing the cars and Gildarts still hasn't appeared. Cana should not be provoking the man right now since they had no back-up.
"You think what I did this morning was bad, just wait till I'm done with you now... oh and who is this? A new fuck buddy for me?" Asuko asked.
Lucy bared her teeth and spat at him.
"In your sick fucked up dreams" Lucy said.
"Well girls what a big mistake you two made. You just walked into the lion's den and guess what's on the menu?" Asuko asked pulling out his cell phone.
He started dialing his house phone, calling for the reinforcements that was waiting upstairs.
"Now why should I be the only one who has fun?" Asuko told the girls.
Lucy was scared. She really was at the moment. No way was she going to get raped by all these random fucking men, she's rather kill herself.
"Shit Cana go call Gildarts!" Lucy yelled.
"What the fuck?" she asked.
"We are really about to get fucked up at the moment Cana, literally! Go call Gildarts!" Lucy yelled.
"GILDARTS!" Cana yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Now what the fuck was that? Gildarts? Is he your back-up?" Asuko asked laughing.
"I meant call him on the phone dumbass" Lucy said.
"I didn't bring it! As your can see I'm only wearing a bikini, some shorts, and sunglasses!" Cana said.
Lucy didn't see a way out of this, she'd be forced to fight a whole army with only a crow bar... AGAIN! Cana had one last idea though.
"Asuko, Asuko, do I feel bad for the whoop ass you're about to receive" Cana said.
Asuko raised an eyebrow. Was Cana bluffing? Lucy thought. She might as well go along with it.
"Yeah, right outside these walls our army is just waiting, itching for a fight" Lucy said.
Asuko smirked. "Oh really, because that was the exact same thing I was thinking, why not open the gate and see whose men is waiting on the other side?" he asked.
"Father if you fucking love me you better be outside!" Cana yelled.
Lucy hoped for a miracle. Asuko walked over and pushed the button that would open his garage door.
"You see ladies, it seems I wi- what the fuck!" he yelled.
Gildarts was standing outside on top of what looked like a pile of bodies.
"Glad you finally made it" Lucy said sighing out.
"CANA! MY BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!" Gildarts yelled out.
Gildarts Clive.
He was a tall and muscular man with shoulder-length reddish orange hair.
And he just loved his daughter.
"Wow one man, guess what though bitches? I still got a whole load of them in the house! You still lost" Asuko laughed.
Cana took off her sunglasses and stared at her Father. His gaze became stone as he looked at Asuko.
"Was it him?" he asked.
"Yup, beat him dead" Cana said.
"You heard that boys! Leave no one alive, were taking over the North side!" Gildarts yelled.
People rushed in, practically coming out of nowhere to Gildarts side. They raided the house, Gildarts on the other hand made his way to Asuko.
"You ready to go now Cana?" Lucy asked.
"And miss the war?" she asked.
"I got a child to pick up, stay if you like though" Lucy said walking around the people.
"Nah, it's not like I don't know what the results going to be" Cana said walking with Lucy.
The two of them walked hand and hand back to Elfman's house, leaving Gildarts to have his 'fun' at the mansion.
Erza woke up to tapping. She rolled over in her bed trying to ignore it but the tapping kept happening. She took off her sleep mask and looked around her room. She was surprised to see a shadow figure on her window. She looked around the room for a weapon but there was a sudden light flashing. Lucy had taken out her phone and shone it on her figure.
"Lucy" Erza sighed.
She got up and unlocked the window for her friend.
"Why didn't you knock on the door?" Erza asked.
"Why is this locked in the first place and what are you wearing? If this window wasn't locked I think you'd be expecting Jellal to visit" Lucy said eyeing the revealing sleeping gown Erza was wearing.
"Whatever, this happens to be comfortable" she said.
"Whatever too, where's the kid?" Lucy asked walking around her room.
"In the bed, why'd you come through the window?"
"I was pumped up from my heist so I wasn't thinking logically" Lucy said picking up Wendy.
"At least use the door to leave" Erza said.
Lucy stopped walking to the window and towards the door.
"Good idea" she said.
Erza opened the door and lead Lucy outside.
"We'll nice seeing your house" Lucy said walking towards a waiting Cana.
"Bye! See you at school!" Erza called out.
Cana waved and then the two of them walked down the streets.
"LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! WAKE UP!" Cana yelled shaking her passed out friend.
Lucy didn't stir, she didn't move. Cana would have thought she was dead is she didn't hear her breathing.
"Doesn't she have school?" Elfman asked.
Wendy nodded.
"Well she's in her uniform already, just put on her jacket and let's drop her off" Elman said.
Cana nodded. She leaned Lucy against the wall and tried to put her jacket on. Wendy came from behind Cana and handed her Lucy's tie.
"Oh yeah, she wear this as a belt right?" Cana asked.
Wendy nodded.
"Just great" Cana said.
She started looping the tie through her belt holes.
"Is that everything?" Cana asked looking at her.
"Hair" Wendy said holding up her hair.
Cana had an evil glint in her eyes. She reached for a brush and some rubber bands with evil laughter. Elfman walked back into the room staring at an evil Cana hovering over Lucy.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yes and my masterpiece is complete" Cana said standing up.
"Was it suppose to be bad? It actually looks cute" Elfman said.
"Exactly. It's cute, she'll hate it, let's go" Cana said.
Wendy grabbed her bag, while Elfman grabbed Lucy's sleeping figure.
"Why's she so unconscious?" he asked as Cana held the door open for her.
"I don't know, we only drank. This happened only once before where when Bora came over with a whole bag just filled of random pills, I thought she OD but that wasn't the case. She was just asleep for a very long time, Bora said there was mostly sleeping pills in the bag and since Lucy only took the same color, she was just asleep" Cana said.
"Oh I see what happened. I left out a bottle of pills on the table last night and forgot to put it away. She must have took some, I thought it looked less full" Elfman said strapping her in the car.
"Damn, how long does it last for?" Cana asked.
"About 6 hours, maybe less. She should be awake by lunch" Elfman said starting up the car.
"What's she suppose to do till then?" Cana asked.
"Sleep. I'm sure her friends will carry her around till then" Elfman said.
Cana just shrugged and opened up her bottle.
"Where's Lucy?" Gray asked.
Natsu shrugged. He walked by her house this morning but her maid said she didn't come home. He tried calling her but no, she wasn't answering. It was half way through class now and she still wasn't here, he guessed that meant she was ditching. Why was Gray asking so late in the day anyway? There was a sudden knock at the door. Atsuki stopped his lesson and went to open it and jumped back in fear once he saw Elfman.
"Excuse me teach, just came back to drop a student off. Where's her seat Wendy?" Elfman asked.
Wendy walked in the class and patted at the desk before sitting in her own. Mr. Atsuki took a step back letting Elfman walk in. Cana stood in the doorway waving at Natsu and Gray before winking at Atsuki.
"There we go" Elfman said laying Lucy down in her seat.
He tried to move her hands to make it look like she was looking up but ended up just laying her head on her arms.
"Watch her kid, she's going to be out for a few more hours so you'll need to carry her to class" Elfman told Natsu.
"What? Why didn't you keep her then? Or bring her back home?" Natsu asked.
"Um... too late? Bye Wens" Elfman said patting her head when he passed by.
He grabbed Cana's collar and pulled her out the classroom.
"Class, let's never talk about this again" Atsuki said fixing his tie and wiping the lip gloss off his cheek.
The class snickered.
"So... how are you going to do this?" Gray asked.
The bell rang and the students were leaving; now that the classroom was half empty Natsu thought lifting Lucy would be more easier.
"I don't know" Natsu said.
"Need help?" Gray offered.
Natsu's possessiveness kicked in. Now that he thought about it, Elfman was carrying her earlier.
"No I got this" Natsu told him.
Very carefully he reached down to grab Lucy's legs then lifted up, his arms around her back holding her up. The problem was her head was just laying back and her arms were just dangling.
"I got it" Gray said helping.
He placed Lucy's arms near her chest and made it so Lucy's head was leaning on Natsu's. Natsu was very happy at the moment... very happy.
"Lead the way Gray" Natsu said following him out of class.
As they walked Natsu started down at his sleeping girlfriend. She really looks like an angel at the moment he thought. Especially with her hair up in two high pigtails like they were. He was tempted to tug on them but resisted the urge too.
"I'll come after class to pick her up again, don't touch" Natsu warned Gray glaring at him.
"Yeah, yeah" he said.
Gray had no interest in Lucy, he only saw a friend. Juvia on the other hand... now that was another thing.
Lucy heard things... loud things... she tried to ignore them but it was just too loud. She felt a sudden tug on her hair a few seconds later. Damn it Wendy Lucy thought. There was no way in hell she wanted to go to school. Lucy's hand lifted up as she tried to reach for her alarm clock. She had trouble finding it though, it was so fucking loud! She needed it to turn off right this second!
"FUCK! TURN OFF!" Lucy yelled slamming her hands on the table.
That pretty much shocked everyone on the table. No one had noticed Lucy's hand moving around until she slammed it. There we all just talking amongst themselves, leaving Lucy in the background.
"Wendy! Turn that shit off!" Lucy moaned lifting her hands over her head.
"Lucy nee-san... we're at school" Wendy said.
Lucy cracked open her eyes and stared. Everything looked sideways, her friends were staring at her. Lucy reached for the water bottle that was in her reached and dumped the whole thing over her head. She wiped her face with her hand and reopened her eyes, everyone was still there.
"That was $1.75" Jellal said.
Lucy leaned up and threw a five dollar bill at Jellal that she got from her pocket. She looked around the table again, yawning as she did so.
"What's up?" she asked.
"What's up? You just woke up from a mini coma, not even wondering why you're at school and you're asking us what's up?" Natsu asked.
Lucy nodded. "I already have an idea about what happened" she said.
"Enlighten us, show us your deductive skills" Jellal said as he reached for the $5.
"Well, I was at Elfman's last time I checked and now I'm at school. I can only believe he was the one who brought me here. The last thing I remember was finishing my last bottle of happy juice and finding some happy pills just sitting on the table. Seeing how it's lunch I assume they were sleeping pills and since I'm in fact at the lunch table and not in Mr. Atsuki's class that can only prove that one of you must have been carrying me to my or his classes. By his I mean Natsu's because he wouldn't let any other person carry me unless it was Erza but seeing as I'm sitting next to Natsu, I'm pretty sure it's him" Lucy said.
Her friends stared at her.
"Just because I'm a druggie doesn't make me any less of a genius" Lucy said reached for the next water bottle she saw.
This time she drank half before pouring the rest over her head again.
"$1.75" Gray echoed.
"Jellal got it" Lucy said.
"Do you need another one?" Levy asked holding hers towards Lucy.
Lucy shook her head before leaning her head back on the table. She didn't have an extra 25 cents anyway.
"What you do two days ago Juvia?" Lucy asked.
Juvia blinked before answering.
"I was at home" she said.
"Doing what?" Lucy asked.
"Watching TV, doing homework, studying"
"What time did you do each activity and for how long?" Lucy asked.
"What's with the fifty questions?" Juvia said raising her voice.
Lucy lifted her head up. "Why are you getting so defensive?" she asked.
"I'm not getting defensive" she backfired.
"We need to talk" Lucy said standing up.
It took her a while to get her balance but when she did Lucy walked up behind Juvia and waited for her to get up. Their friends watched as Lucy pulled Juvia away from them.
"Talk" Lucy said.
"There's nothing to talk about" Juvia said.
She knew Lucy knew what she was doing. Of course she knew, Lucy probably knew the guy who sold her the drugs. Either way Juvia did not want Lucy in her business, she didn't want her to know how far she's fallen. Lucy had her own problem at the moment, she didn't need hers as well.
"What about the mission with Gray?" she asked
"Forget about it, I don't care anymore" Juvia answered.
"Whatever" Lucy said walking back to the table. Juvia followed quietly after her.
"What was that about?" Natsu asked.
"Don't worry about it. Cana and I've discussed it and the party's set for Saturday, it would have been Sunday but that's God's day" Lucy said.
Erza paled. "Lucy..." she said.
Erza was having second doubts about it now, she wasn't so sure.
"One cup and one hit, that's all. After you all can sit in a corner and tap your feet to the music while everyone else parties" Lucy said.
Erza sighed and nodded, it wasn't as bad as it sounded. Lucy had everything planned perfectly down to the cups that were going to be served... everything but dress codes.
"You all have party clothes right?" Lucy asked.
Her friends paused.
"Define party clothes" they said.
Lucy sighed shaking her head.
"Ya'll free after school?" she asked.
Her friends nodded their heads.
"Good, were going shopping... Levy I think I need that bottle after all" Lucy said.
Levy passed her the bottle and Lucy poured it over herself.
"Damn... I'm still tired" Lucy mumbled putting her head back down.
She was sure Natsu wouldn't mind carrying her to her last 2 classes, I mean he did it for the rest of them.
