I do not own any of Fairy Tail or its characters.
This is just a little piece between Cana and Lucy I'm hoping you enjoy it. I haven't got a computer with any decent software so if it's a bit poor on the spelling and grammar side I'm sorry. I'm getting my laptop back soon and I'll go through and edit all of these the re-upload.

Lucy sat in her apartment awkwardly. Eyes darting between the huge array of alcohol on her bench, to Cana the Card Mage and back again. The pair had planned a day out together. It had been some time since they hung out just the two of them. They spent the day walking around Magnolia talking mainly. Popping into various magic and clothing stalls and stores along the way. However mostly they just enjoyed being in one another's company. Lucy adored Cana like an older sister, and she'd basically taken the role. Ever since their bonding before and during the S class trials and Acnologia they'd been just as close as her and the rest of Team Natsu. This made Lucy really happy.

"Ahhh, Cana. I don't think I can drink this much without dying." Lucy had a weight over her head as she spoke timidly. Cana let out a roar of laughter. Of course she'd started drinking hours ago.
"Oh you'll be fine Lucy. Beside, this was the deal wasn't it!" She continued laughing.

Hours before:

"Cana I think we should have a sleepover. Just us girls you know, it'll be fun!" Lucy spoke to her friend as they traveled back to the guild. Both of them had to swing by to get a few things they'd left there earlier that morning.

Cana stopped walking and looked at Lucy "Aren't we a little old for sleepovers?"
Lucy blushed "Oh shut up you know what I mean!" she said pointing accusingly at her friend.
"Okay, I'll have a sleep over with you Lucy!" she smiled, but it turned grim quickly. "But you gotta get drunk with me. I mean proper drunk girl!"

Lucy couldn't say she was taken back. Cana had gotten her drunk plenty but when Lucy had enough she always went home with her pride still in tact. She swallowed anxiously, knowing full well that tonight would be different.
"Okay you're on!" she said in the end, deciding there was nothing to lose.

I'm starting to think there's a lot to lose... Lucy thought anxiously before picking up a poured glass and taking a swig. She curled her face as she forced herself to swallow. Lucy didn't even like the taste of alcohol.

"There ya go Lucy!" Cana exclaimed whilst pouring her own drink.
"You're such a pusher Cana!" Lucy teased lightly.
"Alcohol was meant to create good times Lucy, and that's what we're gonna do tonight! Truth or dare?" She closed her eyes and smiled widely at her friend.
"Dare" Lucy played along, already feeling tipsy from the half a glass she drank.

Hours had passed and the two only just stopped playing truth or dare. It'd been a fun experience. Both of them shared silly secrets of their childhood. Lucy made Cana eat some old food out of the fridge. Mainly out of payback for making her flash out the window of her apartment. The laughter reminded Lucy of how different her life was now. This wildness that came along with Fairy Tail is what caused her to love it so much. She was so used to everything being in place, being planned and god forbid being anything other than perfect. So when she joined the world of red faces, heated arguments, alcohol fueled evenings and near death experiences. Well, Lucy just fell in love.

"Thanks Cana." Lucy said into the quiet. The two had been laying on her bed back down staring at the ceiling for some time now. The world was partially spinning for Lucy. Their snacks during the night kept her from being too drunk to function.
"What for?" Cana asked inquisitively
"Just for tonight, for being my friend. My life wasn't like this before you know? It was so mundane. I never got to do anything fun, and if my dad had it his way I would be married with children by now. When things finally had an opportunity to change he died. So I guess having nights like these keep me going, remind me that life is meant to be wild. And that I'm not some princess. I belong here too!" Lucy's cheeks reddened after she finished talking. She realized how far her ramble went.

Cana sat up, and was now looking at her in shock.
"Ah, so we're at this stage of the drunk Lucy." she giggled lightly, but then her face turned deadly serious.
"You know Lucy..there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now. I guess that's why I wanted to get us drunk tonight..." she admitted.
This got Lucy worried, the last time she'd seen Cana act this way she told her she was going to quit the guild. The trials coming up yet, so she knew that's not what was happening here. But still, she worried.

"What is it Cana?"
"I'm really sorry I dragged you along with my sorry ass. If I didn't piss and moan to you about leaving the guild you wouldn't have lost your father in such a shitty way. I could have picked someone else, I mean I wouldn't have been able to do it without you but still Lucy. I'm really sorry.."
Lucy watched in awe as tears started to form in the corner of her friends eyes.

"What are you talking about stupid?" Lucy said quite angrily.
Her tone shocked Cana, caused her to look upward at Lucy eyes widened.
"I'll be damned if I live in a world where I regret helping my friends! I wanted to go with you because I didn't want to see you leave the guild but mostly because I knew you could become an S class wizard. What happened with Acnologia wasn't your fault. You know that better than anyone else so why are you being so stupid?" Tears started to form in Lucy's eyes as well.
"I'd do it all over again the exact same way and you should feel the same as well! If I didn't go on that island I would have spent seven years never forgiving myself for not being there with you and how the hell would that have been better? Enough people already suffered don't you think?"
Lucy's words tamed down and became quite tender. She reached up and rested her hand on the cheek of her best friend and smiled warmly.
"Besides Cana. We can't change the past even if we wanted to. Things happened the way they did and I'm glad about that. To want things any other way goes against everything Fairy Tail has taught me."

Cana straight out burst into tears. The guilt had obviously been eating at her a long while. Lucy felt bad for raising her voice, however she couldn't deny the sense of happiness she felt to see her friend finally let go of her anguish. Lucy sat up and grabbed Cana into a warm embrace.
"Thanks Lucy..you're the best egg out of the lot of us." Cana mumbled into her chest.

The rest of the night consisted of more laughter, tears and embarrassing dares.
