~Chapter Two~

Anti-Social Butterfly

"Fuyu! Wake up!"

Fuyu's eyes opened to see a bunch of Bixlow's dolls swirling around her head. At first that didnt register into her mind and so she did the only thing a girl would do.

She screamed.

Bixlow walked in and he laughed. Downstairs Fuyu could hear Fried and Evergreen laughing as well. "NOT FUNNY!" She hollered for the whole house to hear which just caused the ones living there laugh even more. The girl sat up, quite agitatedly, and grumbled something about crazy bakas. Then she realized that Bixlow was waking her up. Usually she would be out of the house before he would even attempt to open his eyes.

Fuyu glanced down at her alarm clock. It read eleven thirty in the afternoon.

"Why didnt my alarm go off?" She questioned and Bixlow glanced down at the clock. He smiled and his dolls swirled around him. "Evergreen disabled it because she said you two were going shopping and she wanted to make sure you didnt dissappear today."

"Shopping! Wont dissappear!" His dolls echoed and Fuyu looked mortified. "Shopping?!" Thats when Fried walked into the room. Writing a rune quickly he got Fuyu dressed before she could blink. Fried smiled and nodded. "Yes you two are going out into public whether you like it or not."

Fuyu crossed her arms in defiance. "I dont mind the going out but I HATE shopping."

-Fourty Eight Minutes Later-

"Aww you would look adorable in this! Go try it on!" Evergreen shooed Fuyu into a dressing room to try on an outfit. It consisted of a black tanktop with a white cashmiere see through top, green shorts and some pink and brown wedges. Fuyu hasnt been so embarrased in her life as she tried to walk in the shoes. They werent that high but she wasnt use to walking in those kind of shoes at all.

Other than the clothes that Fuyu had to try on, she had to admit she was having a nice time talking and spending the day with Evergreen. Ever was tottally boy-crazy and she started spotting out her prey in the mall while Fuyu tried to hide her laughter, failing horribly.

Just then Ever's attention was caught by a smoking guy who winked and beckoned her over. Fuyu laughed when Ever told her to hang on for a few, so she sat on a bench looking through her bags of clothes, underwear, jewlery and cosmetics.

"I never took you as a girl who shopped."

Red eyes clashed with dark blue and the boy sat next to her. He wore no shirt but he did wear dark green pants with a few chains in the belt loops. "Im not." Fuyu muttered and turned to look at him. "Evergreen dragged me."

Gray laughed and held out his own bags. They were all from shoe stores.

"You know Im not surprised thats the only thing you bought since thats the ONLY thing you wear and keep on." Gray said nothing but he did playfully punch her shoulder and the girl giggled. Gray laughed too, crossing his arms over his chest making his plectoral muscles flex showing off the Fairy Tail mark. Fuyu sighed and looked at all of the people walking about.

"Did you come here with anyone?" She questioned, scouting out stores she wanted to check out when Evergreen came back. Fuyu might as well enjoy her trip to the mall. Gray grunted and nodded over to a girlish store called 'Peitries' where Lissana, Natsu, and Erza came out. Fuyu tried to stifle her laugh at how Natsu looked mortified from un doubtly the most girly place in the world. Even Fuyu couldnt stand to walk into the bright room with even brighter high lighter colors.

Gray saw her trying not to laugh and he put a hand on her shoulder. With all seriousness that only the raven haired fourteen year old could pull he said "Its ok. Just let it go." And then he smiled and they both began laughingly loudly.

"Hi Fuyu!" Lissana yelled when she spotted Gray and Fuyu laughing. The three others came and surrounded the two on her bench.

"So you've caught up with Fuyu huh? Did you say yes?" Erza questioned the girl who clearly looked confused. "Wadda ya mean?"

"You mean Gray hasnt asked you out yet?! Man, Ice Freak, what's takin ya so long?" Natsu demanded looking at the two sitting on the bench. The duo turned redder than Erza's hair and Gray began to cough.

"Excuse this idiot Fuyu for being well...idiotic." Fuyu giggled and saw that Evergreen was still chating with the hot guy.

"Oh! What kind of clothes did you get from Charlotte Russe?" Erza questioned when she saw the bag. Fuyu let her and Lissana look through her bags and Natsu's eyebrow raised in questioning. 'Victoria Secret?' he thought, trying to figure out what kind of store it was. "Hey Fuyu? Who is Victoria? Why does she have a secret?" Fuyu looked genuinely confused at his question. "What the hell are you blabbering abou—NO!" Too late.

Natsu pulled out a black and pink polka dotted bra with a pink bow in the center. Fuyu flushed fifty shades of red.

Gray and Natsu never looked so embarrased in their lives. Erza and Lissana fell out from laghter. Tears were actually streaming down Erza's face. Fuyu snatched the bag and bra away from the dim witted pink haired mage and he didnt argue. Fuyu collected her bags and ran towards Hot Topic. Gray walked after her and Lissana and Erza sat there still laughing. Natsu wanted to go apoligize but he didnt want to face the girl's wrath.

"That was so not ok!"

Gray had tried to reassure Fuyu that everything was fine, that nothing was to get upset over.

"It is!" He insisted looking through some cool looking jeans with skulls on the pockets. "It was fine! Erza and Lissana are girls so they have to wear those. I trained with a woman for half of my life so a girl's chest is not an unfamiliar thing to me. And Natsu will forget in like eight minutes being the loser he is! See everything is alright. Now lets get somethin from here coz Im really digging this store." Fuyu sighed and nodded, texting Evergreen that she would be home in a while because she was hanging out with Gray. Evergreen simply texted back 'Kay!' with a winky face.

Fuyu was suspicious of that wink.

At the end of their exploring both mages ended up buying a graphic tee with their element on it. Gray's was a solid black tee with a large skull covering the front and when ever it hit a certain light ice would freeze over it. Fuyu bought a shirt that was pale green with a black heart and whenever she moved a splash of water would hit the heart and make it look as though its beating.

All in all the two had fun shopping.

Gray and Fuyu were outside the Rajinshu house.

"You promise you wont say anything at the guild? You know there gossipers."

"Geez Fuyu, Natsu saw a bra. Not even the one you were wearing! Its not like he walked in on you changin!" Fuyu did feel a little silly but she punched him in the shoulder none of the less. "Just keep Natsu's mouth shut, alright?" Gray nodded and when they were about to seperate the raven haired ice mage grabbed the girl's wrist. The water mage's heart skipped at the boy's cool fingers slowly wrap around her wrist pulling her foward.

"You shouldnt be so embarrased about it." He leaned foward so that his lips were practiclly touching her ear. "Besides...I bet you would look hot in it." Gray pulled away abruptly and licked his lips. Nodding and throwing up a peace sign, the boy walked away back towards Fairy Hills.

Inside the house a certain dragon slayer heard the whole coversation while playing video games with Bixlow.
