Sorry this is late, but I had to attend my brother's grad party and had to clean up all week before and after.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
With Gray
Gray quickly dropped Jude off in Jude's own dungeon and returned upstairs to the first floor to where they had moved camp for the night. Juvia was waiting for him at the top of the stairs. They smiled at each other and entered the living room together.
Natsu was chatting with Lucy on the couch while they held hands. Gray smirked at Lucy when she glanced his way and she rolled her eyes in return. Gray was happy to know they had the old Lucy back so soon after...him.
Gray grabbed Juvia by the arm, causing her to yelp. "C'mon, I'll introduce you to Master Makarov, I'm sure he'll accept you into the guild."
Juvia nodded happily and followed after him. He came to the table Makarov was standing on and talking to Mira. Gray cleared his throat politely, successfully gaining Makarov and Mirajane's attention
"This is Juvia, she would like to join Fairy Tail." Gray told Master Makarov.
Mira looked at Juvia. "Aren't you a Phantom member?"
Gray stepped in for her. "Was. She helped in capturing Jude and requested to join. I agreed to help her."
Makarov nodded. "We'll take care of the paperwork back home, but having Gray recommend you helps your cause."
Juvia smiled respectively. "Thank you Master Makarov. You don't know how much it means to me that you're going to let me become a member!"
Mira smiled at her. "Thank you for assisting in Jude's downfall. It'll certainly will own you points with a lot of people."
Juvia looked up at Gray. I hope so. She thought.
With Lucy and Natsu
Natsu escorted her to the couch and they sat next to each other, neither Natsu nor Lucy making a move to let go of the other's hand.
"So, I'm assuming telling you to take a nap won't work?" Lucy asked Natsu, who was bouncing up and down on one of the couch cushions.
"Nope." Natsu said happily, popping the 'p'. "And may I remind you, you gave me a bunch of extra energy."
Lucy sighed. "And I'm beginning to think I should've just defeated Gajeel myself and let you sleep off your injuries."
Natsu buzzed with unused energy. "But, you didn't and have I mentioned that I'm taking you out on a date next Tuesday?" He suddenly asked.
Lucy shook her head. "Oh, and by the way, I'm free next Tuesday and can make it to the date you never told me about." She smirked.
"Oh, good to know. Now, I'm gonna go get you some food." He said quickly before speeding off to the kitchen.
Lucy shook her head and chuckled. She doubted Natsu would burn off ANY energy before Makarov had to force him to bed to keep him from awaking the rest of the guild. Maybe she should have him run laps around the mansion, maybe 10? 15? Surely that would make him collapse, judging by the huge size of the mansion.
Or she could have Mrs. Spetto slip some sleeping pills in his food. The ones made for elephants obviously.
She was snapped out of her thinking by Natsu returning and plopping a sandwich on her lap. She raised an eyebrow.
"Plate?" She asked.
Natsu looked up from his own sandwich. "Hmm? Oh, well I kinda forgot where the plates were. I mean, your kitchen is HUGE!"
Lucy rolled her eyes and mumbled. "Shoulda known."
Natsu just shrugged and took her hand again, and they ate their sandwiches in a comfortable silence.
Lucy swallowed the last bite and looked at Natsu. "So you remembered my favorite sandwich, but have no idea where the plates were."
"Remembering everything about you was more important that remembering where everything went." Natsu said, gazing into her eyes.
Lucy smiled and glanced behind Natsu to see Gray and... was that a girl from Phantom? Meh, Gray must have a reason for bringing her in here. Gray noticed her looking and gave her a crazy smirk and she rolled her eyes in return before returning to talking with Natsu.
With Cana
Cana sat on a chair in the dining room, drinking straight from a barrel. Sitting around the table with her were Erza, Levy, Wakaba, and Macao. They were just talking, except everyone but Cana was drunk as hell, so it was quite humorous.
"Ya know," Macao started, looking at Wakaba. "You're my best friend. You're the only one who drank with me all these years. Before you, I would just sit there at the bar, all alone, waiting for one of the many people to start a fight I could join in. But know, me and you can start fights WHENEVER WE WANT!" He shouted, lunging for Wakaba who whipped him on the head with his mug of beer, spilling it everywhere.
"Man, you made me spill my drink. KILL!" Wakaba sounded suspiciously like Miss Hannigan from 'Annie' as he lunged for Macao, tackling him off the table.
Erza stumbled over to them pulling Wakaba off Macao. "No fighting. Without me!" She finished, attacking the two.
Cana just leaned back in the table and watched Levy. Drunk Levy was usually bloodthirsty, it was hilarious considering how kind she usually is.
Levy leaped up on the table. "LISTEN UP YOU BRATS! WHEN YOU START A FIGHT, YOU INVITE LEVY MCGARDEN! WHEN YOU DON'T, LEVY MCGARDEN GETS ANGRY!" She roared, picking up a nearby mug and proceeding to bash their heads with it.
Cana sighed and got up, prying them off each other. "I can't believe I'm the mature one right now." She grumbled, returning all of them to their seats.
Levy immediately leaped on the table again and pointed at Cana with her mug. "GET HER!"
As 4 drunk people lunged for her at the same time, she mumbled. "Shit." She ran out of the dining room into the living room and just ran around there, ignoring all the laughs and focusing on sprinting outside away from bloodthirsty Levy.
I added the last part for funsies. Will update again soon to make up for this being two days late.
Happy summer everybody!
