Lucy sat once again in her room working on her laptop, She was a writer that went by the pen name 'Celestial Keys'. Lucy wrote about whatever came to mind, and eventually settled on writing a story about wizards. Lucy begun typing but stopped when she heard two knocks on her door, When she answered it she was only met with an empty hallway.
The memories of yesterday came flooding in, from the looks of it Juvia hadn't done it. Today, Lucy decided she would ask her other neighbor. Walking over there she knocked on their door, Lucy was very surprised to see that Erza had answered. "Ahh Lucy!, what can I do for you?" Erza said and Lucy explained her situation. She knew Erza wouldn't do something so childish, but maybe she would know someone who would.
"hmmm I see" Erza was lost in thought and in the meantime Lucy admired her collection of armor and swords, no wonder Gray was terrified of her. As soon as she was going to comment on it Erza replied "I don't know of anyone that would do this, Jet can run really fast but this isn't like him I supposed. Sorry" and closed the door.
Lucy didn't want to have to resort to that, but she had no choice. She was desperate to find out who had been doing this, and desperate times call for desperate measures. "Erza," She gulped and gathered all her courage to say "Why don't we talk about this over some strawberry cake?"
Silence, then the ground started slightly shaking until It was a full on earthquake and a massive roar was heard, "DID SOMEBODY SAY STRAWBERRY CAKE!?". Lucy squealed and moved back, the earthquake continuing Lucy wondered If she had made the wrong decision after all, and if the lives of everyone here would be the consequence. Then the door opened and once again there was silence, "Sure Lucy lets go" Erza came out and kindly smiled.
Lucy nodded in fear and followed her downstairs, Erza apparently knows a good store that has strawberry cake so that's where they would go. God have mercy on the poor cooks and waitresses there.
They sat down and ordered, Lucy started wondering why she was even surprised anymore when she heard Erza's order. While waiting for it to come Erza told her with a look of despair on her face "You see, pranks and immature games like that died out a bit ago. Some things happened and nobody had it in them anymore". The tone she used was very different from the Erza Lucy knew, it was almost empty and hollow. As much as she hated to admit it, Lucy much preferred the terrifying one compared to the way she was acting now.
'Nobody had it in them anymore' that's the exact same thing Mira said Lucy thought, She was going to ask more questions but Erza quickly changed the topic by pointing and shouting "look Lucy! Our order is here!".
It still left Lucy wondering, what on earth had happened here.
Sighing and walking back to the her room, that had been pointless. The knocking was going to get very annoying very quick, though from the looks of it, it would be harder than Lucy thought to find the culprit.
When she walked into her apartment she knew something wasn't right, She had left her laptop on the desk, she was sure of it. So why was it open on the couch. She cautiously walked over a little spooked and looked to see of anything had been deleted or changed, the story was there, but at the bottom in red font there was the text "Awesome story! You're a really good writer" well at least that was what she interpreted it to be, everything was spelt horribly like a five year old had done it.
Lucy just stared confused, had someone broken in her apartment?. Everything was still here, so they just broke in, read her book and left?. She figured it must have been someone from Fairy Tail, but who has such terrible spelling? Lucy mused.
Deciding to go downstairs she left, but leaving the doors and windows locked, just in case. She walked around bored but started running when she saw a little bluenette sitting at the counter, "Levy-chan!" "Oh! Lu-chan!" the two hugged and Lucy quickly begun with saying "You won't believe this!" then telling her about the comment.
Levy listened quietly and politely, nodding and thinking as Lucy spoke. After she finished Levy was silent for a couple minutes but then said "There used to be someone who would do silly pranks like that, he was crazy athletic too. He also has terrible spelling". Lucy smiled, she had found her culprit.
"What is his name?" Lucy begun but Levy cut her off by saying "It's not him though, he…. Moved out. And his name, was Natsu" Lucy was kind of disappointed, She had almost found whoever had been doing it. "Well thanks anyway Levy" "No problem Lu-chan".
The two talked for a while until Levy had to go back up, wanting to start making her own dinner, Lucy realized she probably should too so the friends parted ways and Lucy headed to her own apartment.
When Lucy walked in her door she sat down on her couch and said hello to Happy, but then the truth dawned on her. She had locked her door, why was she able to get in. Lucy jumped up and looked around, Lucy remembered moving the hammock to the other side of the room to make space for her bed. The hammock was back in its original spot and the bed was on the other side of the room, Lucy also noticed there was a massive mess everywhere.
Immediately she searched her things to make sure nothing was stolen, nothing was missing. Lucy had to get professional help, whoever this person was that was breaking into her apartment, making a mess and leaving would be caught.
Lucy would make sure of it, and someone somewhere else was very happy about this.
