Pairings: General friendship feels.
YouTube Prompt: A tribute to all the girls in Fairy Tail to 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by Def Leppard.
For Natsu's thirteenth birthday, or more accurately what they all decided was Natsu's birthday, Lisanna had brought him a prank book.
This would later be her greatest regret in life as Natsu used it fully against not just everyone else in the guild but her, the amount of times someone had been tarred and feathered or had a bucket of water tipped over them, or found a whoopee cushion would become countless, but at the time it had been something Lisanna thought would cheer Natsu up.
After all it was roughly round the same time Igneel disappeared to.
So it really didn't surprise Lisanna that one day she walked in on Natsu and Happy setting up one of their infamous and incredibly annoying pranks. It was bright and early so they were the only ones there apart from Mira-nee who was grumpily keeping an eye on the bar.
"Morning!" Lisanna chirped. "What are you doing?"
"Pranking Gray."
"We're gonna get him," Happy said in an adorable attempt to sound like an evil mad genius. He even rubbed his two little paws together. "We're gonna get him good."
"I'm sure you will," Lisanna said as she petted Happy's ears, "What exactly are you going to do to him?"
"We're putting glue on his stool," Natsu snickered evilly as he slowly squeezed out a layer of magical glue, the kind that didn't dry until it was stuck to something, round the seat of Gray's favourite bar stool. "He's going to look like such a moron with a big hunk of wood stuck to his naked, perverted, arse."
"Erm…." Lisanna sweat-dropped, "what if someone else sits on it instead of Gray?"
Both Natsu and Happy blinked dumbly at her.
"Why would anyone do that?" Happy asked. "It's Gray's stool."
"Yeah," Natsu agreed, "no one is going to sit on Gray's seat other than Gray."
"I know Gray prefers to sit here," Lisanna said slowly, "but it doesn't mean the stool belongs to him only. Someone else might decide to sit down here."
"Nah," Natsu said dismissively, "no one would want to touch something that disgusting naked backside has touched."
"All right," Lisanna said reluctantly, "but don't say I didn't warn you."
The next couple hours were spent quietly. Natsu and Happy were too busy rubbing their hands together and laughing evilly to be much company, so Lisanna helped Mira-nee out with some chores before the guild slowly began to fill up with other people.
Gray had not shown up as, Lisanna learnt quickly, he left town yesterday for a job, but Erza did….
"I need a cake and an ice tea," Erza groaned as she staggered in, "this last week has been an utter nightmare. Have you ever tried to hunt down bandits who use plant magic in a forest? It's bloody difficult."
SPLODGE!
….and she then sunk down into Gray's favourite bar stool that's covered in magical glue and slumped against the bar. "I'm exhausted," she bemoaned, "I need sugar pronto."
Natsu and Happy turned into stone out of sheer horror, their jaws had dropped wide open, and their souls vanished out of terror.
"I did tell you!" Lisanna whispered as she too trembled in fear. Erza was not someone to be crossed especially when she's an Erza that's tired, grumpy, and in need of her sugar fix. "Natsu, Happy," she said hurriedly, "run! Now! I'll try and distract her"
"But then you'll be in terrible danger of that monster," Natsu hissed fearfully, "especially since she'll know it came from that book you got me."
"As if she'll do anything to me," Lisanna snorted, "Mira-nee would tear her a new one if she tried. Now go! Get a good ten minute head start before she notices."
Natsu and Happy didn't need telling twice, they moved so quickly that they left a dusty outline of themselves….
Makarov was enjoying a rare, peaceful, morning walk enjoying the fact that there hadn't been any property destruction for two whole weeks when Natsu and Happy suddenly came barrelling down the lane, pushing people and things out of their way, as they screamed on the top of their voices.
"NATSU!" Erza screeched demonically. "I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!"
Makarov's eyes popped out as Erza hobbled down the street, her back crouched over, as she had a great, big, wooden, stool glued to her backside….
He wasn't sure whether to laugh at the sight or cry for all the property damage that was going to ensue in two seconds.
