Juvia POV
When Lucy told Juvia we were going to a party I immediately said no. I only agreed because this is Juvia's chance to get her beloved Gray-sama to notice her. Juvia has liked Gray-sama since freshmen year. When Juvia arrived to Lucy's house, Lucy and Levy were already getting ready.
Lucy POV
I paced back and forth in front of my closet. What the hell do you wear to a party?
"Lu, Juvia is here" said Levy walking back into my room.
"Hey Juvia. Do you have any idea what to wear to a party?" I said plopping down on my bed.
"Juvia has no idea." She said flatly.
Levy walked over to my large walk in closet. "Lucy you have tons of clothes in here. I'm sure we can find something"
I let out a deep sigh. "Do you know how long it's been since I've even tried to wear something moderately attractive?! I don't remember how to put anything together anymore."
When I moved to Magnolia sophomore year I completely changed my look. You could say I did a complete 180. At my old school I was one of the most popular girls... Believe it or not. But all that got me were a bunch of fake shallow friends who were really only my friend because I was pretty and rich, and a horny jackass of a boyfriend who only wanted me for my body. Plus he cheated on me when I wouldn't give it up to him.
I had very poor grades. Don't get me wrong, I've always been smart, it's just that at the time I was focused on the wrong things. I was afraid if anyone knew of my true genius, I'd be labeled as a nerd and would lose all my friends and my status. But trust me I could care less about that now.
I decided things would be different in Magnolia; and I couldn't be happier. My new look got me real friends like Juvia and Levy. I have straight A's and am class valedictorian with my 4.5 GPA. I'm still boyfriendless but I'd much rather be single than be with someone who only wants me for my looks.
Then it hit me. My maid Virgo used to put outfits together for my all the time when I didn't feel like it. I haven't asked her to do that for me in ages. I go over to the intercom and press the button that said Virgo. About 30 seconds later she was in my room.
"You rang princess?" She said politely.
"Hey Virgo. Would you mind going in my closet and putting some outfitted together for me and the girls?"
Virgo's face lit up immediately. I had forgotten how much she loved this. She had a true eye for fashion.
"Of course Princess!" With that Virgo ran straight into my closet and got to work.
"Okay. Now what?" Asked Levy.
I thought for a second then walked over to my intercom again. I pressed the button that read Cancer, my personal hairstylist who I have not used in a long time. Cancer appeared almost immediately.
"You call... Baby?" He said snipping his scissors.
I smile. I forgot how much I loved getting all dolled up. "My girls and I need to look good for a party. Think you can help?"
Cancer smirked "of course I can... Baby" with that cancer ushered the girls and I over to the large vanity that I have not used in a VERY long time.
Normal POV
When Cancer and Virgo finished their jobs the girls looked completely different.
Lucy wore a pink fitted tube dress that showed off her curves and stopped at her mid calf with a pair of nude heels. Her hair went down to her mid back with big voluptuous curls. Levy had on a black Jersey dress with white lines and a white number 8 on it. She wore black heels and her hair was spiral curled to her shoulders. Juvia wore a pair of light blue high waisted pants and a blue and white floral crop top. Her hair was bone straight and went to her mid black. She also wore a pair of cute heels. They all wore light makeup that complimented their skin.
"wow... We look hot." Levy said while staring at her reflection in awe.
Lucy smiled while running her hands over her curves. It's been a long time since she's showed off her body. She had to give Virgo her props, she and her girls looked amazing.
Lucy POV
"Alright guys" I turned to my friends with my hands on my hips. "Who's ready for ready for a party!"
They responded excitedly with cheers. It may not be MY first high school party, but it certainly was theirs.
We all headed next door to Natsu's house where the music was already jumping. As we walked through people kept looking at us strangely, like they've never seen us before. But ego could blame them?
Finally, we found Natsu an his group of friends lounging in the kitchen. When they saw us, everyone did a double take.
Lisanna POV
Okay... Plot twist. Lucy is actually hot. I did not see this coming. How does a bet go too far before it even starts really? Now I have to keep an eye on her because she now looks like someone Natsu could actually be into. Ugh. I swear, a fun game can never just be fun.
Natsu stood and started introducing Lucy and her friends to everyone. And of course nobel Erza was extremely nice, polite, and welcoming. It's s good thing she doesn't know about the bet. She'd spoil all the fun.
It's been about an hour so far and all everyone's done is talk and get to know the loser gang. Honestly, I don't care how hot they look. A loser is a loser and some clothes and makeup doesn't change that. I have nothing to worry about. I bet the guys all agree with me.
Erza POV
The more I get to know Lucy and her friends, the more I like them. They're all so down to earth and cool. Who would've known? I don't know why Natsu decided to invite them but I'm glad he did. This is the start to a beautiful friendship.
I've wanted more girl friends for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I love my best friend Lisanna. It's just that I have 1 female friend, my boyfriend Jellal, and then all my other friends are guys. I decided to make an executive decision and welcome the girls into our group.
"Hey guys, how about we all hang out more often? You know, like in school and outside of school?" I smile.
Lucy POV
Erza was so nice, how could we possibly refuse her offer? The guys were surprisingly really nice too. Not to mention funny. The only person who hasn't said much was Lisanna. I decided to pay it no mind though. I do have a feeling she doesn't like me or any of my friends.
I smile at Erza. "Sure! That sounds great. You know, I live right next door to this place. So whenever you want to hang out just let me know."
Erza smiled and nodded. This got me really excited. I just made a new friend! Who knew such down to earth, funny people were hiding in the popular crowd? I guess you truly can't judge a book by its cover.
Natsu POV
Lucy and her friends are oddly fitting right in. Who knew? Whatever though. I'm not sure if Erza is in on the bet but she just gave us all the perfect opportunity to woo these girls by inviting them into the group. Thank you Erza.
"Hey Luce, do you want to dance?" I say as a slow song comes on.
The other guys copy me and do the same. Can't they come up with their own ideas?
When we get to the dance floor I wrap my hands around her waist and pull her in semi close to me. Lucy is actually extremely curvy. Just my type actually. I suddenly notice that she had been talking to me.
"Sorry, whatcha say?" I ask.
She responds with a giggle. "I said I can't believe I've lived next door all this time and you never noticed."
I smile "what can I say, I'm a dense guy."
She responded with another laugh.
"So Luce, what are your interests, what makes you tick, why is your head always in the books?"
Lucy smiled some more. I guess appreciating the fact that I asked about her. It's a common trick I use to get girls. Make them think that you're interested in them and they'll be VERY interested in you if you catch my drift. I prepared myself to drown her outline I usually do but for some odd reason I couldn't. Honestly, when I actually listened to her, I liked what I heard. Lucy is actually pretty interesting and cool.
Hearing about her old school, friends, why she came here, things she liked. Things she didn't like. We had a lot in common. When the song changed I took Lucy to another sitting area to talk some more.
Gray POV
I saw Natsu take Lucy off somewhere quiet to talk more apparently. I decided to do the same with Juvia. There's no way I'm letting let jerk get the upper hand on me. I grabbed Juvia's hand and led her to the backyard fountain. We both said on the ledge of the fountain. Juvia was talking about her favorite colors and what not when I decided to stop her.
"Can I ask you a question Juvia?"
"Of course you can Gray-sama"
"Why do you always talk in 3rd person like that? Not that there's anything wrong with you" I said the last past quickly when I saw her face fall. "I'm just curious."
Juvia seemed to be deep in thought when finally she decided to tell me. "Juvia got bullied when she was younger. A lot more than she is now. None of the other children wanted to play with juvi.. Me" she quickly caught herself. "So I got in the habit of just playing with myself. At first I talked in third person as a game to make Juvia feel like she had a friend. I guess it just developed as a habit." She looked down in shame.
I smiled at her. I knew all about forming bad habits from child hood. Next thing I know my shirt was off. We had a good laugh about it as I told her the story of my striping habit. This girl is kind of cool.
Gajeel POV
I have this in the bag. No girl can resist s bad boy charm. I smirked to myself. I had been half listening to Levy for about 20 minutes now. Something about books or whatever. I do admire how smart she is though. I'm kind of glad I got stuck with her. Lucy is too preppy and Juvia is too weird for me.
The shrimp has a nice balance. But that's beside the point. I'm not gonna get attached to her. It's just a bet that I plan to win. Then she said something that caught my attention.
"That's why I love horror movies" she smiled.
I smiled back at her. "There's nothing more I love than s horror movie. How about we go see one. Friday night."
"L-like a date" she blushes. That's kinda cute.
"Yeah. A date."
"Sure. I'd like that" levy smiled brightly.
Yep. I've got this one in the bag.
Lucy POV
When we headed back over to Natsu's group of friends mine were there waiting for me. The party was clearly starting to wind down and more and more guest were leaving.
"Hi guys. What's up?" I ask the group of already chatting people.
"Hey Lu! We were all taking and Erza had a great idea" Levy smiled at me. "Since it's getting late and all the guys are staying here at Natsu's place maybe Erza and Lisanna could join our sleepover! Whataya say?"
"If it's not too much trouble" Erza added. "I know we just met but I think it'd be a great chance for us all to get more aquatinted.
I smile at Erza's optimism. This friendship is moving extremely fast, but i don't mind. Erza seems extremely genuine. I guess that's what makes me trust her group of friends a little more. Perhaps I prejudged the popular group at fairy tail. Although I'm still getting to know Lisanna, I feel like she has a sweet side deep down. Even though she doesn't show it... At all. I mean, how bad could a person possibly be being friends with someone as nice as Erza Scarlet?
"I think that's a great idea Erza. I'd love to get to know you guys some more."
Don't get me wrong, I am a little bit worried, but they all seem so nice. Plus I have a good feeling about Erza. What's the worst that could happen?
