Edited- 2/3/14 *Spelling errors. stupid mistakes, and added scenes...again. I would just re-read the whole story to be honest.*

A manila folder hit Lucy's desk with a soft smack pulling her from the History notes she had been previously taking. She used her pencil's eraser to drag the folder closer to herself. As she reached to open the folder, a flash of blue from the corner of her eye caught her eye. Flipping the folder over, she noticed the "flash of blue" she saw earlier was a blue Post-It note with a note scrawled on it in Erza's handwriting. Lucy glanced up at Ms. Olietta to see if she was paying her any mind. She was too busy lecturing about "Medieval Tortures: Good or Bad?" to see Lucy passing notes in class. Deciding the note was probably meant to be read first, she tugged it off folder before reading it silently in her head.

Dear Lucy,

WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T OPEN THIS FOLDER IN CLASS!

In this folder is the newest letters for "Mavis". I expect them to be read and answered by the meeting today at 4 p.m. Don't be tardy.

-Erza

P.S Be sure you are ALONE when you open the letters. We don't want your secret getting out.

Lucy snorted, like she needed to be reminded of the only condition she agreed to before becoming "Mavis". She ripped up the Post-It note into tiny pieces, before she shoving the remains in her pocket to be thrown - or burned - later. Quietly grabbing the folder, Lucy moved to place it in her bag. Just when she managed to open the zipper enough to squeeze the folder through, a loud cough sounded from behind Lucy.

Out of all the times for this to happen. Why now?

"And what, Miss Heartfilia, is so important that you interrupt my class with your noise?" said Ms. Olietta from behind Lucy.

Lucy's hand twitched slightly as it hovered, still frozen, over her bag. The folder's contents crinkled when she clenched her her hand into a fist as she cursed inwardly for making so much noise. The one time she tried to be sneaky, she gets caught!

"Well? We are all waiting for your answer, Ms. Heartfilia." pressed Ms. Olietta.

Lucy looked up in order to gauge her classmates reactions. Like the first time, her classmates had swiveled around in their seats to look at her, the pitiful person who interrupted Ms. Olietta's lecture . Although, unlike last time, Natsu was not by her side to take part of the blame. At this thought, her eyes connected with Natsu's, whos eyes were filled with amusement at her failure to be sly.

'Like you could have done better.' Lucy said, trying to convey her message to Natsu without words.

'Oh, I know I could have' he answered back, his signature grin appearing on his face.

Lucy was about to roll her eyes, but didn't when she heard Ms. Olietta's foot being to tap on tile floor to show of her thinning patience.

Lucy, instead, cleared her throat slowly trying to stall for time. She straighten in her seat and turned to meet Ms. Olietta's gaze.

"I-I-I was j-u-ust try-ying to..." Lucy paused.

Okay. Not being able to formulate actual words was not part of the plan.

Lucy cleared her throat again before continuing, "I was trying to...?"

Her last words echoed in the class as everyone unconsciously leaned forward in order to catch the last of her sentence. Lucy racked her brain for any believable excuse for what could be in the folder other than the truth.

"Ummm?" Lucy trailed off as her brain failed her.

She looked down as the stares of her classmates bore into her. As a result, a tell tale blush began to color her cheeks in a dark red.

'I swear if I blush anymore today, I am going to die from blood loss.' thought Lucy, before clenching the folder to her busty chest in a failed attempt to hid the evidence of her crime.

"You were, what?" asked Ms. Olietta, her patience running thin.

"Just... putting something in my bag!" said Lucy perking up in slight happiness that she had something to say other than 'um?'.

"Well, what is it?"

Crap. Again?

"Um?" stalled Lucy again looking down at the manila folder buried in her chest. "This folder?"

"Are those History notes for this class?"

"Not exactly..."

"Well then, I am going to have to confiscate it." said Ms. Olietta, reaching her hand for the folder.

"NO!" yelled Lucy, jumping out of her seat and pulling the folder away from Ms. Olietta's reach, "You can't do that!"

Ms. Olietta's eyes widened slightly, then quickly narrowed, "And what, might I ask you, is so confidential that I may not read?"

Lucy opened her mouth to answer before closing it with a snap. Now what? Lucy peered around her teacher to look at Erza, with pleading eyes, trying to use the same telepathy she had used with Natsu earlier. Erza nodded her head once, getting her silent plea for help, her face determined.

"Excuse me, Ms. Olietta?" Erza said, standing up and placing her hands on the desk.

Lucy just about sighed in relief when everyone's attention swiveled to focus on the redhead.

'Leave it to Erza.' Lucy thought as said girl surveyed the class to see if she had everyone's full attention.

Erza nodded when she saw everyone's attention was indeed on her and continued, "I can tell you what is in the folder."

"Oh really, Miss Scarlet?" asked Ms. Olietta, "And what would that be?"

Erza smiled a bit too sweetly, "...love notes"

Upon hearing her response, the room immediately erupted with laughter. Lucy stiffened, feeling herself get even redder.

'I am dead...so dead right now' thought Lucy, as she watched her teacher turn to face her once again.

"Love notes?" she questioned, suspicion clear on her face.

"Uh...yeah, that's right" answered Lucy, trying her best to make her answer believable.

Ms. Olietta leaned across Lucy's chair, "Are you being serious?" she said, quietly. So quiet, in fact, that Lucy had to strain to her over the sound of her classmates' never-ending laughter.

Lucy nodded quickly, praying that Erza's stupid plan would work.

"Alright, alright! Settle down!" said Ms. Olietta, her voice raised in order to be heard, "Miss Heartfilia, you may take your seat. I am resuming class." With that, she turned and walked down the aisle to begin her lecture once more, Lucy's "love notes" long forgotten.

Lucy scrambled into her seat before the teacher could change her mind. Once seated she stuffed the now very wrinkled manila folder into her bag. She shot Erza a grateful smile, which she returned with a slight wave of her hand as if to shush away her thanks like it was nothing. Although she no doubt had a lot of explaining to do later, she was beyond happy her secret wasn't revealed.

At 4 o'clock sharp, Lucy walked into classroom 5A - or where Fairy Weekly meet after school everyday. Once she entered the already filled room, she spotted her short blue-haired best friend talking excitedly to white haired girl with a camera around her neck near her desk.

"Hey, Levy-Chan and Mira!" called Lucy, as she walked over to the pair. They both turned in unison at the sound of their names.

"Lu-Chan! I was just telling Mirajane the great news!" said Levy, once Lucy reached them, bouncing in place.

"What happened?" asked Lucy, now curious, as she set down her bag next to the desk before giving the pair her full attention.

"Last week's paper was SOLD OUT!" shrieked Levy in delight.

"Really? That's amazing news!" said Lucy, excitedly. The paper had never been this popular before!

"It's really all thanks to you, Lucy." said Mirajane, smiling at the blonde, "Ever since you joined as Mavis, the paper has been a hit. People can't help but love you."

The blonde stared at her in shock, before quickly recovering to remark "No, no, no. It is not all me, where would the paper be without you doing photos, Levy on editing, Jet's sport updates, Lisanna on fashion, Wendy and Jellal on recent news, and Erza as our chief."

"Oh, Lu-Chan, everyone knows your section is the most popular!"

Lucy frowned, "But-"

"Lucy! There you are! Did you finish with the work I gave you earlier?" said Erza, coming up to the group from behind.

"Sure did!" said the blonde. She reached into her bag to pull out the still wrinkled folder and placed it in Erza's outstretched palm.

Levy looked at the manila folder with confusion, "Why is it all wrinkly?"

Lucy sighed in defeat,"Don't get me started."

"This is really good advice, Lucy." stated Erza, scanning the papers that had been previously inside the folder.

"Thanks, Erza."

"I think we should use this one," she said, pulling the paper from the stack and handing it to Levy, "Good timing too, with this we can make it in time to print and sell the paper tomorrow. Can you edit this into the paper by today, Levy?"

"Can do!" Levy answered, skipping to her desk in between Jet and Jellal, who were both typing away at their laptops.

"Good work, Lucy." said Erza, before leaving to go to her huge desk in the back of the room.

Lucy smiled and moved to sit down at her desk. Once her butt hit her chair, she let her head hit the table in exhaustion.

"Something wrong?" Mirajane questioned, worried.

"Nah, I am just really tired. I oversleep this morning and was late for school."

"Oh, that's right I heard about that." said Mirajane. She paused for a moment, as if recalling a memory, before giggling.

"Why are giggling?" asked Lucy, raising her head to look at Mirajane.

"Oh, nothing in particular. I just heard about you in Natsu's arms this morning." she replied, her eyes taking on a glazed look as she stared at something on the ceiling.

"Oh, no you don't!" Lucy raised an accusing finger at Mirajane. "I know what you're thinking and that is not it! Sure, I tutor him and we are friends, but that is all."

Mirajane pouted, " Lucy, Natsu likes you."

Lucy rolled her eyes, "Then why hasn't he asked me out yet?"

"Natsu can be a bit slow sometimes."

Lucy laughed, that was an understatement.

"Don't worry, Lucy, he will come around and if he doesn't.." She trailed off slightly for effect before continuing. "I can always help." finished Mirajane, smiling.

Lucy eyes widened, "No, don't do that! It is really fine!"

Mirajane giggled again and waved her hand in a 'you are so silly' kind of fashion.

"I am being serious, Mira."

"Okay fine. I won't do anything, but don't be surprised when I say 'I told you so'." remarked Mirajane before turning and leaving Lucy alone to her thoughts.

Lucy groaned and placed her head back on her desk. It had been a long morning.
