So I in no way shape or form own any of the characters of Fairy Tail. I would be so cool if I did but i don't. They all belong to Hiro Mashima. However this story idea is 100% mine. Thank you all to everyone who has favorited, Followed and reviewed my story so far. I really appreciate it
The rest of their night didn't go as they originally planned. After Gray ordered room service they ate dinner and spend a relaxing night watching movies until they fell asleep. As for Natsu and Lisanna, Natsu ate as much food as he could until his stomach was the size of a giant beach ball and he passed out and Lisanna went to bed disappointed because she had hoped to progress her relationship with Natsu past friendship.
The Next morning at the hotel buffet
Once arriving at the breakfast hall Natsu and Gray raced to the buffet and Lucy and Lisanna slowly followed behind.
"So did you and Natsu go to the casino last night?" Lucy asked. She was feeling guilty for skipping out on her friends last night. But she and Gray had so much fun watching movies in their room that she really didn't want to leave.
"Uhhhhh... well not exactly" Lisanna answered nervously while she tried to come up with a good excuse. " You see...Natsu and I stayed in the room and had a romantic dinner...yeah that's it.. a romantic dinner. I planned it all last minute while Natsu was in the shower. I am just so excited about this trip. To bad tonight is out last night and we have to leave tomorrow. So..." Lisanna looked over with a suspicious look on her face "Did you and Gray go to the casino last night?"
"No we stayed in and watched some movies" Lucy answered as she put a spoonful of fruit on her plate. Suddenly a huge smile stretched across Lisanna's face. "Do I sense love in the air between you and Gray?" Lisanna asked somewhat playful and hopeful.
"WHAT?!" Lucy asked surprised and almost dropped her plate of food. "Gray and I? Are you crazy? We are just friends."
Not satisfied with that answer Lisanna decided to push it further. "I don't know Lucy, I sense something more between the two of you." Just before Lucy could argue Lisanna cut her off "Now don't go biting my head off I said I sense it and that's all." Just as they reached the end of the buffet line and were walking to the table where the guys were stuffing their faces. "But who know's, maybe something will happen today at the carnival." Lisanna said with a sinister smirk on her face leaving Lucy standing in another state of shock and confusion Carnival.
After regaining her composure Lucy joined the table curious to know more about the carnival. "So what's all this about a carnival?" Lucy asked just before sticking a strawberry in her mouth. "Didn't you know Lucy?" Lisanna asked "For this weekend only the Akane Resort is holding a special couples carnival." Just as the words came from her mouth Gray, who was sitting on the other side of the table suddenly started choking on the food her current food he had in his mouth. After his choking stopped Lisanna started explaining "You see I heard from other people visiting the resort that tonight they are hosting a one night couples carnival. Everyone is welcome but it is mainly for couples. Near the end of the night there are supposed to be fireworks and plus i heard they are gonna have rainbow colored cherry blossoms planted especially for tonight." At that Lucys eye's lit up. She had only been able to see the cherry blossoms once, thanks to Natsu, and she had been dying to see them again. "Really?" She asked with excitement "I have been dying to see the cherry blossoms again. Guys we have to go."
"Of course we are going" Lisanna answered "I haven't seen a rainbow cherry blossom tree since I have been back. Plus, I love carnivals. So I was thinking that since we didn't get to go to the casino last night we could go after we finish eating and then tonight head to the carnival. What do you think?"
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu said as he slammed his fork on the table. "What are we waiting for? Lets go now!" Before Lucy could react Natsu had already grabbed her arm and was dragging her behind him. "Natsu wait! I wasn't done with my breakfast!" Lucy argued Near the doorway.
As soon as the duo couldn't be seen anymore Lisanna gently placed her arms on the table and rested her head on her hand. "So..." She paused for a minute getting Grays attention. "Did anything progress with you and Lucy last night?"
This question caused Gray to stop mid-bite and place the fork back down on the plate. "We stayed in and watched movies."
"Gray" Lisanna's tone suddenly turned serious as she placed her hands flat on the table and looked Gray straight in the eye "This trip is nearly over and if you don't do something now then more then likely nothing will ever happen between you and Lucy. Are you ok with that? If you don't take action soon you will watch Lucy move on with her life and possibly someone else." For a split second there was an emotion in Lisanna's eyes that Gray couldn't describe so he let it slide as she continued talking "We only have one more day here..."
"I get it, ok!" Gray said in a some what aggravated tone as he interrupted Lisanna mid-sentence. For some reason Lisanna was a little bit more invested with his progress with Lucy then she needed to be. He just couldn't put his finger on why. Of course she was Mira's sister and Mira was never one to shy away from trying to be the relationship wizard when it came to people, but Lisanna had been different. Now it seemed like she was ready to go through hoops to get he and Lucy together. "You don't need to worry about me Lisanna. I have a plan to try and win Lucys heart and whether it works or not is completely up to her. Now if you will excuse me." Gray said as he stood up from his seat "I am gonna go get changed and head to the casino."
After Gray walked away all that was left was a smirk on Lisannas face as she slowly got up from the table and headed towards her hotel room to change.
At the Casino
The casino was just as beautifully decorated as the last time they had been there. As large as it was, It was lit with beautiful lights that made the room sparkle. On the main floor held many different activities. On the left was the bar and surrounding the bar was an assortment of slots and other kinds of games. Above head screams could be heard from the people riding the rollercoaster that just happened to run though the casino.
Currently Natsu and Lisanna were back at the machine he had been hooked on the last time he had visited the resort. Still determined that seventeen was his winning number he hammered down the the button in hopes of the machine picking his number. Gray was currently sitting at the bar. Every few minutes or so he would let out as snicker when Natsu's voice could be heard from across the room yelling at the machine. Lucy was still no where to be seen any where around the casino. After Natsu dragged her to the casino she walked back to the hotel room where she had just ran into Gray on his way out. After exchanging a few words Gray headed towards the casino and Lucy went into their room to change.
Suddenly there was a tap on Grays shoulder and as he turned around he couldn't believe what was seeing. Lucy was standing behind her looking just as beautiful as ever. She wore a stunning Black and White dress with a heart shaped out of diamond studs in the middle that wrapped around her neck, black heels and she had her hair done with partial curls.
"What do you think? To much?" Lucy asked timidly as Gray just sat there staring at her. After his mind caught up with him cleared his throat and responded "Not at all. You look great."
"T-Thanks" she thanked with a light blush on her face. "I was so excited about this trip that I bought this dress just for it." Before she could continue Natsu's crying could be heard once again and so she excused herself away from Gray and went over towards Natsu. After finishing his drink Gray got up and joined the group and they dragged Natsu away from the machine.
It took a crude comment from Gray to get Natsu to stop his whining and start yelling. After exchanging a few words, head butts and a punch or two the group went on to enjoy an afternoon at the casino. Lucy went on with an amazing winning streak until Natsu talked her into betting it all on his lucky number at the roulette table and cost her the rent money she had won for the next three months when the ball landed on Red twenty five. You could only imagine how far Lucys jaw dropped when she watched as the ball land on the number in front of Black seventeen. After that as a sort of payback Lucy made Natsu ride one of the bull riding like machines. Gray and Lucy spent some at the tables playing poker and Lisanna just kind of explored the casino floor and trying everything that it had to offer. After a couple of hours of fun and gambling they decided it was time to grab a bite to eat and then get changed for the carnival.
