Okay, this is a filler chapter. Nothing happens in it... It's just Gray and Lucy bonding... Sorry! I've been on block for MONTHS. (I still am... T^T) And, I've been working on my other (newish) story, Bittersweet. So, you could say this is on hiatus until I fully figure out the plot... (I've been freehanding it so far. I know, stupid.)

So, here's a small chapter to (kinda) satisfy you... ;)


Lucy and Gray started walking towards Fairy Tail, chatting off. "Lucy, how many times have you gone off like that? 11? 16? Gosh, one day you're going to get into trouble, and no one's going to save you."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? You think I can't save myself? Wow, glad you don't believe in me." Lucy said jokingly. "And actually, it's been 17 times, and counting." Lucy skipped off ahead, humming a tune. "You forgot that time where I went into that fire to save the cat."

Gray sighed and jogged to catch up to his strange honey-blond friend. They walked into Fairy Tail, welcomed by the familiar home's smell and warmth. The pub was filled with laughter and loudness as always.

They both went to sit down at the bar table, meeting Lisanna, who was drinking a cup of some murky substance. Lucy saw Mirajane behind the counter, working the drinks. Since they still needed to get money somehow like every single person in the world, Mira worked at Fairy Tail as a bartender.

Out of the corner of Lucy's eye was some pink hair. She turned around and was about to say hi, thinking it was Natsu but remembering that Natsu was still at home in bed, while the pink-haired boy she was looking at was actually his twin brother, Samazu. Right before turning her head, she caught Samazu's eyes.

Everything was silent, everything was blurred out. All Lucy could see was Samazu and his bright and ensnaring blue eyes. They stared like that for what seemed like hours, analyzing each other.

Lucy snapped out of her trance when Gray put ice in Lucy's shirt.

She shrieked, standing up and trying to shake out the coldness that was going through her body. Once all the ice was out of her shirt and scattered around the floor, Lucy glared at Gray with a stare so scary that it had an intent to kill. She slowly walked to him until his nose was touching hers. "What," Lucy said slowly, sure to pronounce it clearly. "Did you just do?"

She pushed him off his chair and onto the floor. He fell flat-faced and lay on his stomach. She sat down on him like she was riding a horse. She bent her face down and whispered into Gray's ears.

"You. Better. Say. Sorry."

Lisanna giggled at her two ridiculous buddies on the floor.

"No," Gray managed to squeak out, not being able to breathe from pressure on his stomach.

Lucy shrugged. "Fine then, suit yourself." She looked up at Lisanna and pointed at the counter. Lisanna understood immediately and gave Lucy her murky drink. Lucy took the mug and pulled at Gray's shirt, slowly pouring the contents on him. Gray flinched while Lucy smirked.

At another table were Erza, Levy and Juvia, other regulars at Fairy Tail. Erza ate while Levy read a book the size of an encyclopedia. Juvia stared at Lucy and Gray.

"Erza-san," Juvia said, her head resting in her hands. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure," Erza said, eating a piece of her cheesecake. Her scarlet hair hung over her face, a few pieces getting into her dessert. Levy flipped a page in her novel.

"What do you think of Gray-sama and Lucy-san's relationship?"

Erza bit the tip of her fork. "Hm, they are best friends. But it always seems like a little more. Looks like Gray's a little interested in Lucy."

"What? That means Lucy is Juvia's love rival! Juvia will not stand to lose!"

Juvia walked away from Levy and Erza, heading towards a certain blond who was still on Gray, holding an empty mug, laughing, while Gray was pouting while his face turned blue. Levy looked up from her book and lifted an eyebrow at Erza. Erza shrugged and went back to her cake.

"Juvia is now Lucy's love rival! Be prepared to lose!" Juvia pointed at Lucy, who was still sitting on Gray. Juvia walked away, her strange blue hair bobbing up and down.

Lucy looked at Lisanna with confusion. "What was that about?" Lucy asked. Lisanna shrugged. Gray seized the chance of Lucy not paying attention to roll Lucy off. She fell next to Gray, her back on the floor. Gray jumped up and got on Lucy, a smile plastered on his face.

"Ha-ha! Look who's in a bad situation now!" Gray laughed, pointing at Lucy. Lucy felt Gray's warmth and her face started to feel warm and red. Gray leaned closer to Lucy's face, making her blush even more. "Hey, are you blushing?" Gray started to also get a little red.

She laughed in a non-joking way. She turned her head to the side and back at Gray after hearing a pause of silence. "Uh… Gray? Everyone's staring at us now." Lucy whispered to him.

Gray looked up and saw people staring at them.

Apparently, Lucy always drew an audience to herself, unintentionally.

Gray got up, slowly dusting off his shirt. His whole neck and chest was soaking wet, which showed the outline of his perfect abs, along with his hair. He grabbed Lucy by her hand, pulling her up from the floor. They managed to keep in a laugh, apparently finding their situation hilarious. Gray's eyes started to bulge, looking down at Lucy's chest. "…what?" Lucy questioned.

"Uh…" Lisanna pointed at her chest. "You're shirt is see-through right now…" Lisanna whispered. Lucy looked down to see her pink laced bra through her not-white-anymore-but-clear shirt. Lucy blushed, trying to cover it up with her hands. Gray bursted out laughing, pointing at Lucy's red cheeks.

"Gray, this is not funny!" Lucy said, taking one of her hands and whacking him on the head.

"Uh, yeah it is!" Gray snickered.

"Gray, if you do not stop laughing, I'm going to hurt you." Lucy said with a deadly tone.

"With what? Your liddo pinky laces? Are you going to whip me with them? Awwh, I'm so scared!" Gray put a scared look on his face.

Lucy took her foot and kicked him right where it would hurt. She smiled as Gray went down, kneeling while putting his hand over "there."

"Oww…" He shrieked.

"You got that right!" Lucy laughed, walking out of the pub.

"Gee," Lisanna said as she slapped her knee while laughing. "And that's why you shouldn't mess with Lucy…or girls in general,"

Gray glared at his white-haired friend. "So not funny,"


So, that's it! I know... -_- But I ran out of things to say. Ciao!
