Okay Guys. I love you all, and I just want you to know that without all of you, I would never have made the story this big. All of your reviews really made my day! Getting emails that I got new reviews, and not a 'Hot Topic' coupon really makes me smile. Anyways, Follow SpadesToStars for more stories by me! I hope to hear from you all again! ~Hana
Cana woke up in bed, and tried to sit up. A wave of pain struck her body, and she fell back a little. Looking down, Cana noticed all her bandages. Seriously? Damn. I totally thought I had it that time. Cana thought. She winced as she forced herself to her feet. She walked over to the bathroom, and washed her face. She came back into the room, to find Laxus waiting for her on the bed.
"Do you want to go to the guild?" He asked.
"I'm going now." She said as she put her bag over her shoulder.
"You need help." Laxus said.
"I'm fine Laxus. Don't be such a worrywart." Cana said, and started for the door. Although in extreme pain, she was powering through it. She felt a hand ship around her hip, and straighten her body upwards, almost immediately relieving her of her pain.
"Better?" Laxus asked. Cana just puffed her cheeks, and opened the door, going to Fairy Tail.
Mira was busy polishing glasses, and wiping down the bar, and listening to Erza's story. After all, listening to gossip was her favorite pass time. And telling it was even better.
"I see. So that's what happened." Mira said, nodding her head after listening to Erza's story about her fight with Jellal.
"But, I forgave him. After all, it was partially my fault for reacting that way." Erza said.
"That's wonderful news Erza!" Mira smiled as she set a plate with strawberry cake in front of Erza.
She was listening to Erza when Natsu and Lucy came in. Natsu's arm was wrapped comfortably around Lucy's shoulder, and they were laughing. Mira watched them as they sat down.
"What are you doing Mira?" Erza wondered why her friend was staring at the couple.
"I'm seeing if it's really true." Mira said examining the way Lucy sat so comfortably in Natsu's arm.
"If what's true?" Erza asked.
"I'm positive that Natsu and Lucy got together. But I want to see it with my own eyes- just to make sure." Mira said, her eyes narrowing at the two.
"Alright." Said Erza, not questioning how Mira knew that. Mira knew everything about everyone after all. "Oh look, here come Gajeel, and Levy." Erza pointed towards the door, where Gajeel and Levy emerged from. Levy was laughing, and Gajeel looked rather annoyed. "It looks as if Levy got her way with the Iron Dragon slayer" Erza said, taking a bite of cake.
"I knew Levy would be with Gajeel, and Lucy would be with Natsu. It was only a matter of time, and I couldn't wait! They needed my little push." Mira said. Erza nodded, she knew that all too well. The only reason her and Jellal ever got together was thanks to Mira being nosy, and pushing them together. "Now, I don't think anybody saw this one actually happening." Mira smiled and pointed towards the door.
"What?" Erza asked.
"Give it a second." Mira winked. "3… 2…" Mira pointed towards the door, as it swung open. Cana and Laxus came in, and sat at a table. Cana put her hand in the air and waved, signaling Mira, to bring her alcohol.
"You know you shouldn't drink so much when you're injured." Laxus said.
"It's the best medicine" Cana laughed as she knocked back a cup.
Mira hurried back behind the bar, to finish gossiping with Erza. She leaned in to hear what Erza was whispering.
"Cana and Laxus?" Erza asked.
Mira nodded. "Yep" she said, and giggled.
"I wonder what Gildarts will say." Erza said.
Mira just laughed. "Even I don't know what he will do. You know how protective of her he is."
"What about Gajeel and Levy? You must know what happened with that." Erza was rather intrigued to hear about the guild relationships. Although she was never really one to gossip, she liked to gossip with Mira.
Clearing Erza's plate, Mira smiled. "Of course I know what happened. Lily told me" It was true. Levy always told Lily everything that happened. And whatever she didn't tell him, he would always have very accurate guesses to fill the blanks. Then he would tell Mira, in hope of Mira giving Levy a push in the right direction. "Levy's afraid of the dark after all." Mira winked at Erza again. Erza remembered they had a black out, and she was in a room alone with Gajeel. She guessed what had happened.
"That's good for Levy. It seems all your plans worked Mira. Lucy seems very happy with Natsu. And Levy seems thrilled that she is with Gajeel." Mira looked over to Elfman, and Evergreen laughing at the corner table. She looked at Mira, and Mira just nodded. "Was that you too?" Erza asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about. But a big sister has to help out her kid brother every so often." Mira said, polishing more glasses.
"Well, Mira. You have truly outdone yourself this time." Erza said.
"I try" Mira said.
"What do you think would happen if they found out the only thing wrong with the rooms was water damage from Aquarius?" Erza asked.
"Let's hope that doesn't happen." Mira said, and Erza laughed.
Well- that's 'Housing' I hope you enjoyed! Bring in the dancing Lobsters! ~Hana
