What happened earlier:
"Oh, well how about-" Mira got cut off from Lucy putting her on one of the rafters.
"This is a good hiding spot," Lucy said.
"Oh, thanks, Lucy!" Mira said happily, then gave the signal to Gajeel and Wendy.
"Ash brain's coming!" Gajeel yelled.
"He's right at the door!" Wendy yelled.
Juvia turned off the lights and went back to her hiding spot, and the guild just waited for their old friend to return to the guild once more.
Natsu gulped as he opened the doors to see the room was dark, but smelled everyone in it. "Hello? Anybody here?" He asked playfully.
Someone turned the lights on and everyone tackled Natsu saying, "Welcome back!" smiling.
Natsu died a little on the inside due to the impact, but laughed it off since everyone was smiling at him as they got off of him. "Hey, everyone," He said excitedly, dusting himself off.
"You don't look bad in that tux, Natsu," Lucy said, making Gray look towards Natsu, smirking.
"Well thanks. Erza p-" Natsu got cut off by Gray.
"I'm surprised you didn't burn your tux yet, fireplace," Gray said, smirking.
"I'm surprised you haven't stripped naked yet, pervert!" Natsu shot a smirk at Gray.
Gray just stuck his tongue out and crossed his arms like a child, making Lucy, Erza and Jellal laugh.
"You're such a kid, Gray," Lucy smiled evilly, walking slowly up to Gray.
Then all the attention turned to Lucy and Gray.
"Oi, Lucy, what are you doing?" Gray put his hands up, walking back cowardly.
"Embarrassment time!" Lucy laughed viciously, taking pictures out of her clutch and making everyone gasp.
"Lucy, don't do it! What did I ever do to make you do this?" Gray said, trying to take the pictures away from her, but failed for she was too fast.
"Hmm, remember the shower incident? Erza, quick, blow all of these pictures around the guild so everyone can see what Gray does in the morning!" Lucy said, grinning like a psycho.
"My pleasure," Erza said, smiling and taking out a fan sword. "Minor Wind Storm!" She yelled as the pictures went everywhere around the guild, making Gray drop to the ground.
Soon, a couple of seconds later, the whole guild laughed for about 5 minutes, making Gray sulk in a corner for a while.
Lucy stood proud as she watched the guild laugh and to see Gray actually sulk in a corner. "Life is good, isn't it?" She asked out loud, smiling.
"Everyone, sorry, but our stereo is going to be coming in late, so please wait 5 minutes!" Mira said, running to the back room and getting nods from everyone.
"Gray, get over here!" Natsu said.
"Why should I?" Gray yelled in his corner.
"Bunny Girl will kiss you!" Gajeel said, walking by with Levy and smirking at Natsu.
Those words stabbed Natsu in the stomach, making him wonder why he was like this. "Of course she wouldn't kiss you! You're an ice cold pervert!" He said, chuckling.
Lucy blushed madly. "Me kissing Gray? I would never! Or maybe? I HAVE NO CLUE!" She argued in her mind, then realized that Gajeel was the one who said the comment. "GAJEEL!" Lucy yelled angrily, making everyone look, thinking that they might just witness a death of a dragon slayer.
"What is it, Bunny Girl? Get your panties in a bunch?" Gajeel chuckled.
Lucy pretended to be sad. "I can't believe *sniffle* you tried to hurt my feelings *sniffle*," She said, pretending to fake cry.
"Oh shit, Lucy! Don't cry! I'm sorry!" Gajeel said, because Levy forced him to.
Levy then pushed Gajeel over to the fake crying Lucy, smirking. "It's your fault, now say sorry until she forgives you!" She whispered into his ear, giving him chills.
"Sorry, Lucy, I didn't me-" Gajeel earned a kick in the face. He looked up to see Gray had actually kicked him, and was smirking. Then, he looked over to Lucy, who was smirking as well.
"Damn you, Lucy! I'll eat you!" Gajeel threatened, earning a laugh from Lucy.
"Keep dreaming, Metal boy!" Lucy smiled.
Gajeel growled. Then, music came on, breaking the worst argument ever. Some people started to move to the so called dance floor and dance.
Lucy's face lit up. "Come on guys, let's dance, all of us!" She said excitedly, almost jumping up and down.
"Yea, lets go!" Natsu said, running to the dance floor with Erza, Jellal, Gray, Gajeel and Levy.
Lucy looked over to see that Natsu was at the bar for some reason. "Wasn't he just with us?" She asked herself, then got a tap on the shoulder from Gray.
"It's time to get ready for the dance that we got forced to do by Mira," Gray said.
"Oh, I forgot about that!" Lucy said.
"Come on, Mira is going to clear the floor soon," Gray said, taking Lucy's hand over to where Natsu was.
"Natsu, why are you here? I thought you were dancing with the rest of us? Or do you not know how to dance?" Lucy giggled at her friend.
"I was dancing with the rest of you, but when I got swayed by someone, I felt sick, so I decided to go to the bar. And I do know how to dance, just not that much," Natsu pouted.
Lucy and Gray giggled.
"Well, we'll talk to you after the dance Gray and I were forced to do for you," Lucy said as she waved to Natsu.
Natsu sighed and waved, then thought "Wait wait, for me? Mira forced some people to dance for me? That's ridiculous! And why is Lucy paired with that jerk? I don't understand what's going on! I should ask Lucy to dance with me," He smiled at the thought.
"Everyone, we will be having a waltz right now, but first we will have the specific dancers. Then, after about 5 minutes, you will be able to join!" Mira announced.
Everyone nodded and smirked at what the pairings were going to be as they sat down and chatted.
Natsu waited as he tapped his finger on the bar counter.
-Alright, the pairs in the dancing are: Lucy and Gray, Erza and Jellal, Gajeel and Levy and Alzack and Bisca.-
First, Lucy and Gray swayed to the dance floor and took the middle spot, making everyone whisper stuff.
Second, Erza and Jellal sway in onto the dance floor and took the left side of Lucy and Gray. Everyone stared in excitement.
Third, Gajeel and Levy are swaying to the right side of Lucy and Gray. Everyone smiled for the great pairing.
And last but not least, Alzack and Bisca sway somewhere that's an open spot. Everyone chuckled and gave Alzack thumbs up, making him blush.
Natsu wished he was in Gray's place, swaying with Lucy and smiling with her. He missed the days where she would blush if he even stared at her for long periods of time. He let out a big sigh as he watched the specific dancers dance to a very fast waltzing song.
Over on the dance floor, it was far more interesting.
"When is this going to be finished?" Lucy asked.
"How should I know? And I wouldn't tell you anyways, since you spied on me in the morning, taking pictures of me like that," Gray said chuckling.
"It was for your own good!" Lucy giggled.
"Sureeeee!" Gray said sarcastically, spinning Lucy around.
"Everyone, the dance floor is now open again!" Mira announced, hearing a huge sigh from the specific dancers as they made their way to the bar.
"Tell me not to do that again!" Levy complained.
"I know, it was so girly!" Gajeel said.
"My feet hurt!" Bisca complained.
"It'll be okay, Bisca. Just take it easy!" Alzack said, comforting Bisca.
"You're all wimps," Gray said, earning a slight punch to the shoulder.
"It was very tiring. After all, we had to wear tight shoes!" Lucy said, sitting on the same bar stool Natsu was earlier. "Hey, anyone know where Natsu is?" She asked, looking around for the fire mage.
"Bathroom?" Levy asked.
"Outside for fresh air?" Bisca suggested.
"I don't know. Everyone wait here, I'll go look for Natsu," Lucy said as she left, earning a nod from everyone. "I know exactly where you are, you flame head! Don't leave without telling me like that! And plus, he never complimented me! What the hell!" She raged inside her mind.
-To Natsu-
Natsu was looking at the sunset view from the upstairs balcony of the Fairy Tail guild. He let out a big sigh. "Today was amazing…." Natsu said sarcastically out loud. Then, he heard the balcony doors open behind him.
"May I join you?" Lucy asked nicely and walked to the free spot on the balcony.
"Yeah, sure, go ahead. But I was just leaving since I got my fresh air, so I'll be downstairs if you need me," Natsu said, leaving. He then got a hard pull from his left hand and fell down on his behind. "Ow, what was that for?" He asked, earning a chuckle from Lucy.
"Are you avoiding me or what?" Lucy asked seriously.
"No, it's just I was planning on going back downstairs to do a little fighting with your boyfriend!" Natsu yelled and covered his mouth in shock.
"Did you just say Gray is my boyfriend?" Lucy asked angrily.
"Well, it looks like you guys are! I didn't mean to, I was just assu-" Natsu got cut off by Lucy punching him in the face.
"And to think that I thought you changed over the 2 years you left us," Lucy said, running downstairs to where the party took place.
Natsu sighed. "Lucy…." He said sadly.
-Downstairs-
Gray and the others were still sitting at the bar, chatting. No one knew he was just waiting for Lucy to get back. Then, he spotted her speeding down the stairs like a cheetah.
"Lucy, what's wrong with you? It looks like you have the runs or something," Levy commented.
"Oh nothing, I'm just a bit hyper," Lucy lied.
Levy just nodded and went back to talking to Gajeel.
Lucy was about to say something until Mira announced the dancing partners raffle.
"Everyone, attention! We will be having the dance partners raffle, and as you all know, I pick the girls name out of the pink box and the boys out of the blue. Now, here we go!" Mira said excitedly.
Lucy and Jet
Droy and Bisca
Levy and Gajeel (Mira wanted it to be like that)
Gray and Juvia
Alzack and Cana
Jellal and Erza
Everyone was shocked except for Lucy, since she did want to dance. Plus, Jet was an amazing dancer, since he was fast at his steps, so she wouldn't mind.
"And if you both refuse to dance with each other, you will receive punishment. That's what the master says," Mira said, smirking and earning a huge sigh from the guild members.
"Well, Lucy, you ready?" Jet tapped her shoulder.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Lucy said excitedly as they went to the dance floor.
-Natsu comes downstairs-
Natsu looks around to see everyone was on the dance floor but in different pairs. "Well, at least she's not with him," He sighed in relief, but tightened up again since he didn't say sorry to Lucy, and the fact that she seemed to be really excited for this upcoming dance. "This sucks!" Natsu rubbed his temples the stupid way.
"Alright, you know the plan right? To save everyone from this dancing nightmare?" Lucy giggled, then caught a glimpse of salmon hair. "Natsu, I didn't mean to say that….I'll apologize later," She thought.
"Yeah, since we are equal in fast paced dances, we can do this," Jet said, nodding.
"Alright, you're taking the lead, and don't mess up while spinning me!" Lucy said, smiling.
"Got it," Jet said nervously, picking up the pace in their dancing.
Natsu looked around the room, seeing everyone in their normal paced dancing positions, but then he saw everybody grinning as their attention turned to Lucy, Jet, Erza and Jellal. They danced very fast, making everyone move off the dance floor.
"Jet, are you getting tired? You seem out of breath," Lucy said giggling.
"Yes *pant* I am," Jet lied as he signaled Natsu over to take his place.
"Then who is going to-" Lucy got cut off by Jet's spin so he could swap with Natsu. When Lucy was done with her amazing/long spin, she was faced with Natsu "N-Natsu!" She stuttered/blushed.
"Let's dance," Natsu said as he took Lucy's hands and swayed.
"Natsu…umm…I-" Lucy got cut off by Natsu.
"It's alright, I'm sorry too, but for now let's just forget what happened and just focus on dancing," Natsu said, smiling.
"O-okay!" Lucy said nervously.
Erza and Jellal saw the swapped partner.
"I never thought Jet was nice enough to let Natsu dance with Lucy," Jellal smiled.
"Well, I don't know why he did it, but it was probably for a good reason, right?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, maybe," Jellal replied. "We should go to a table and rest our feet. Mine probably hurt as bad as yours," he suggested, chuckling.
"Yeah, great idea. We should ask Lucy and Natsu too," Erza said.
"Great idea, darling," Jellal teased, making Erza blush. They walked over to Lucy and Natsu.
"Hey, you guys wanna rest with us for a while?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, I need to take a break. Jet was dancing so fast. It was really hard to keep up and it hurt my feet too!" Lucy exclaimed, making the 3 chuckle.
"Oh, come on, Luce, lighten up! We managed to dance the night away!" Natsu said proudly.
The 3 looked at each other with confused looks on their faces, trying to figure out what he meant by that.
"Yeah, I guess," Lucy broke the silence, making Natsu smile.
Then the 4 started to chat away, making Gray a little jealous of Natsu, since everyone missed him. And yeah, he missed him too, but people don't have to overdo it on missing him. It seemed like they were almost obsessed with him, except for Lucy, Erza, Happy and Jellal. They were perfectly fine.
Gray started to overthink things. "Is it just me, or every time I see Lucy not hanging out with me, I feel as I can't help but go over there and talk to her, just her!" He yelled in his mind, having his 3rd drink along with Juvia.
-Alright, this is getting a bit too off guard here. Let's see what Lucy and the others are doing!-
Natsu ran up to the performing stage and took the microphone. "Everyone, drinking contest! If you want to join, come over at my table in 5 minutes!" Natsu yelled excitedly and ran back to the table, smiling like a psycho.
"I'm in!" Lucy said as she raised her hand up high.
"Well, I guess I could give it another try," Erza said, smiling.
"If Erza joins, I'll join too!" Jellal said, making Erza's face go scarlet.
"5.…4.….3.….2.…..1...They're coming," Natsu said as mostly half of the guild ran towards Natsu's table. "Well, here this is what 1st , 2nd and 3rd place winners get," He explained.
1st place gets: Anything they want!
2nd place gets: Free drinks and free food for 2 months.
3rd place gets: Free drinks for 2 months.
Everyone nodded and they started to drink/chug down their beer/alcohol.
-5 drinks later-
"Jet, Droy, Bisca and Alzack are out of the *hic* contest!" Lucy said as she drank her 6th drink, just getting nods from the rest.
"You fools, I'm going to win, it's so obvious," Cana said, drinking her barrel.
"You're a *hic* cheater!" Natsu yelled.
"No, I'm ju-" Cana got cut off by Mira knocking her out with her magic.
"It's true that she would win, so let's just say she got knocked out," Mira said as everyone nodded and continued drinking.
-10 drinks later-
"I'll beat *hic* Natsu and the others *hic*," Lucy said drunkenly.
"Sure ya *hic* will! I'm a *hic* pro….." Natsu passed out.
Gray laughs. "Now that's *hic* what I call funny *hic*," He said drunkenly, making the rest laugh.
People who are still in:
Lucy
Erza
Gray
Jellal
Juvia
Alright, I'll end this chapter for now! Sorry for the late chapter, I was in Toronto for a couple days! I promise I'll make it up to everyone, and please review! Oh and there is a question that you're going to tell me the answer to while you're reviewing.
Question:
Who will win the drinking contest?
Sincerely, Wolfsmiley ^_^
