I recognized the voice immediately. Looking up at Laxus in shock, I unwound my legs from around his torso. "We'll talk later... Blondie..." Laxus let out a low growl punctuated by string of curses and stormed off through the now open balcony doors, pausing for just a moment to acknowledge our intruder. "Drunk..." "Sparky!"
"Cana, I can expla." "No need to Lucy doll! Decided to finally take the lightning train to D town?" Cana sauntered over to where I was standing. If she noticed my mortification of being caught, she didn't say anything. "I just came out here looking for you. I saw you slip out earlier and figured we could finish this bottle!" She slams a surprisingly full bottle of champagne on the balcony railing. "Okay, hand it over Canna babe!" Knowing I am in for the third degree I figure a little bit of liquid courage was in order. I grab the bottle and bring it up to my lips. The second I take a swig the foam from all the jostling explodes in my face and up my nose. We make eye contact and burst out laughing. "Okay Doll, when did this shocking development surface?" "Cana, shocking, really? Is now really the time for puns?" "Okay, okay. But really Luce. When did you start riding the lightning bolt." "Remember the ball after the GMGs? Well..."
