The blonde shrieked as she was being tossed around like a ball as the fight raged on, how did she even manage to get herself tangled right in the middle of it? She knew she should've hidden behind the bar the moment it started. "Kyaaa!"
She had accidentally knocked down Nab and was about apologise when she was somehow dragged back into the mess. "Why??!"
She can't recall how many people she had unintentionally knocked out or bumped into, cheering in joy when she managed to successfully escape the craziness by crawling under a table that seemed to be out of the way of the fight.
She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, releasing a deep breath. She's glad that she could live to see another day.
"Lucy-san?" Her eyes widened, how did she not see that someone else was with her? She must have been too busy trying to get away to notice. The sky dragon slayer beside her is also in the same position as her, her big brown eyes wide with slight fear in them.
"Oh, hi, Wendy. Nothing new, eh?" She gestured towards the fight, sweat dropping when she witnessed Natsu breaking yet another table and Gajeel smashing the floor.
"Y-Yeah..." The blonde leaned forward and landed her face on top of her arms, closing her eyes. She started thinking about her current dilemma despite the noise in the background, why was most of the guys she had talked to today suddenly took an interest in her?
She then backtracked and tried to remember what she may have taken or done differently prior to today, but came up with nothing worth looking over or anything out of the ordinary. She then analysed each of her encounter with the guys, maybe something must have triggered the change in their feelings and behaviour.
She noted that Freed and Natsu were not affected whereas Laxus, Bickslow and Gajeel were. What was different and what was in common for all of the encounters? She bit her lips, getting pretty deep in thought. "Think, Lucy, think..."
The sky dragon slayer looked at the blonde curiously, she seemed to be troubled with something. She was about to ask the celestial mage if she is okay when she realised something. It wasn't as noisy anymore. Did the fighting end already?
She moved closer to the edge of the table, taking a look to see whether her assumption is accurate and noticed that almost half of her guildmates are just standing still right where they are.
The rest of them are also slowly stopping when they, too, noticed the fact. In the end it was only Natsu and a few guys still beefing it out.
"Has anyone seen Lucy?" One of her guildmates spoke up, while the rest also questioned the same thing. Soon, questions and claims filled the air and the sky dragon slayer cowered back in confusion, what is happening?
"I want to tell her how much I love her!" "She's my one and only!" "I want to take her out!" "Where is she?" "She's the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes on!"
It wasn't long before the celestial mage broke out of her thoughts and hear the commotion happening. "What...? Wait.. please don't tell me..." The blonde turned white, realising that somehow, most of her guildmates have also become affected like Laxus, Bickslow and Gajeel. And it also seems like both guys and girls are affected.
Although it may sound like a dream to have many people fall 'in love' with you but there is definitely something fishy going on. Her guildmates are acting weird and are so out of character, there has to be more to it.
The sky dragon slayer yelped when she saw the blonde's soul trying to escape from her body, trying her best to shake the celestial mage back to life. "Lucy-san! Stay with me!"
Her arms then suddenly went rigid and she felt a weird shock flowing through her. Her hands fell to the side and she could somehow feel her heartbeat increasing. "W-What...is this f-feeling?"
In another part of the guild, the fire dragon slayer wondered what was wrong with everyone, why are they suddenly looking for his teammate? Not to mention they are saying some weird and creepy stuff, almost as bad as what he heard Gajeel 'sing' when he walked into the guild not too long ago.
Another thing is, why is everyone suddenly interested in the lively blonde? He knows that she is definitely one of a kind but everyone is just flatly acting weird. There is no way he would let anyone touch his precious friend. He knew she was still in the guild though because her scent is strong and he started looking for her himself.
Back to the blonde, she was slowly coming back to life when she noticed the girl next to her was looking at her with hearts in her eyes. The blonde shivered, it heavily reminds her of a certain water mage. More importantly, why is the sky dragon slayer looking at her with such admiration?
Oh no.
"Lucy-san! Do you want to play with me? I just got these new dolls!" Out of nowhere, the sky dragon slayer suddenly pulled out two dolls and gave Lucy one. The blonde held it awkwardly, now really isn't the time to be doing this.
She held up the doll by its hands and tilted her head, thinking that it's actually really cute after taking a good look at it. This action however made the sky dragon slayer squeal and she tackled the blonde with a tight hug.
"Kawaii!" They both have fallen to the ground, and the blonde cried out in surprise, desperately trying to escape. In any other circumstances, she would gladly accept a hug but this is just too much.
She managed to get out from under the table though the sky dragon slayer have moved on to hugging her legs. She sweat dropped, almost not realising her mistake by coming out of hiding. All eyes turned towards her in mere seconds.
"LUCY! MY DEAR!" Her eyes widened at the sight of Erza jumping down from the sky and landing right in front of her, wearing her full Prince Frederick costume.
"Let's get married and have thirty babies!"
The rest of her guildmates have also decided to crowd her and yell out love confessions, making the blonde sweat in fear.
In a flash, Lucy dashed towards the exit, she needed to get out of there! As she ran, the huge crowd is hot on her trail, not wanting to let the blonde go.
"Shoobi do bop, she's the one!"
"My princess!"
The fire dragon slayer sweat dropped seeing the whole thing unfold from a far corner, his head already spinning with confusion. Poor Lucy.
The blonde wasn't looking where she was running, she just wanted to escape and ended up crashing straight into someone once she was off the guild's property. "Kyaaa!" "Woah!"
She blushed in embarrassment when she realised she had landed on top of someone, who she then identified as Gray. He was also blushing but at the same time groaned in pain, the blonde had knocked him down hard.
"S-Sorry!" She quickly got off of him, helping him up while continuously apologising. "It's okay, I'm fine." The ice mage scratched his head, his eyes widening when he sees a huge crowd running towards them behind the blonde.
The blonde, remembering what she was doing, took off in a flash, waving goodbye at the ice mage. "I'm off!" The ice mage raised his arms up in panic, he didn't want to get trampled. He also realised that they are actually his guildmates, what are they doing??!
He was about to jump out of the way when they all suddenly tripped and fell to the ground right before him, cries of pain filling the air. A huge question mark appeared above the ice mage, he was utterly and completely confused. What just happened?
"Uh, what are you guys doing?" He questioned aloud, hoping that someone could explain the situation. He just noticed that Erza is at the front of the group, slowly trying to get up.
The red haired mage was confused when she looked around her, when did she get out of the guild? She got even more confused after seeing her guildmates on the ground behind her. She turned towards the ice mage when he spoke, immediately asking what came to mind.
"What happened here?" The ice mage sweat dropped, shouldn't he be asking that? And he even did, but got no answer. He then proceeded to explain what he saw briefly and scratched his head in confusion when none of them seemed to remember what they were doing.
The ice mage then caught the sight of a pink scarf on the ground next to him, realising that it must have been Lucy's. It had probably accidentally came off when she bumped into him not too long ago.
He picked it up and looked ahead, trying to remember where she had run off to. Should he go and find her? He could just hold on to it until he sees her again but then he decided that he was just going to find her.
