Summary: Lucy proves that a phrase is all to true…though Evergreen thinks it's more than that.

Pairings: Girls friendship, implied Gray/Juvia, Natsu/Happy friendship, implied Natsu/Lucy, and implied Elfman/Evergreen.

Author's Note: Thank you all very much for your reviews recently. I'm sorry I haven't replied to them but once again Fanfiction is telling me that they don't exist…..*sigh*

It was late at the guild, and Cana was feeling incredibly smug as she managed to get every girl drunk. Erza was, of course, beating the crap out of some boys, Juvia was sobbing on Gray who was trying to make a sneaky escape (and failing), Wendy had fallen asleep, and everyone else was very much enjoying themselves.

Lucy and Mira were engaged in a shoving match which ended so abruptly that Wendy shot up and Levy stopped laughing manically as Mira accidentally shoved Lucy so hard that she flipped over the stool she was sitting on, sent it flying into a wall, and did a spectacular backward roly poly as she showed the world her frilly, very boring, so boring that it was obvious laundry day was approaching as Lucy's underwear collection was legendary, white knickers.

"Lu-Chan!" Levy gasped. "Are you okay?!"

"No!" Lucy's voice replied, muffled against the dirty floor. "Can someone help me up, please? The world won't stop spinning."

Cana grinned as Mira and Lisanna rushed to Lucy's side and helped her stagger back onto her feet. "Oh God!" Lucy moaned in embarrassment. "Tell me no one saw that."

The girls glanced over to where all the boys were, Elfman was tragically Erza's latest victim while a pile of unconscious men were steadily growing behind her, Gray was trapped beneath Juvia, Happy had fallen asleep, Laxus and Bickslow were playing a card game, and Natsu was too busy stuffing his face,

"Don't worry about it," Cana said, "none of them are in any fit state to pay attention to us let alone watch you show your kickers to the world. Well," she smirked, unable to resist teasing Lucy, "apart from Natsu."

"Oh God!" Lucy moaned again as her face turned bright pink and she wiggled with shame and discomfort. "Is Natsu looking this way?"

The girls all turned to look at Natsu, who was opening his mouth so wide that an entire roast chicken could probably fit into it….which coincidentally was what he was trying to stuff into his mouth.

"No," Lisanna reassured Lucy, "he's too busy trying to scram a whole chicken in his mouth….bones and all, urgh!" she shivered.

"Oh Natsu," Lucy murmured fondly as she gazed over at the crumb covered, pink haired, Dragon Slayer with adoration in her eyes. "He's so cute, and funny, and clever!" she said dreamily.

"…"

"…"

"…"

The girls all turned to look at Natsu was now choking on a chicken bone and had to be walloped, repeatedly, on the back by Happy with a fish (don't ask, it's Happy) and all raised an eyebrow or frowned quizzically.

How was that cute, funny, and clever?

"Jeeze," Evergreen muttered, "not even Juvia is that delusional and she thinks the sun shines out of Gray's arse. Literally."

"So it's true what they say," Cana drawled with a smirk, "Love is blind."

The girls all turned their attention back to Natsu who was now having a vicious tug of war with Happy over the fish and then glanced back at Lucy, who sighed blissfully and continued to gaze adoringly at Natsu.

Love is blind seemed to be an understatement.

"Definitely blind," Evergreen agreed, "actually more than that, I would go as far as to say brain-damaged."

"So how brain-damaged are you," Levy elbowed Evergreen lightly, "to be in love with such a big lug like Elfman?"

"…..I can still turn you to stone, you know?"

"I'll shut up now."
