Hello everyone!

Even though there are few reviews, I'm glad that you liked it. I'm so sorry that it took me so long to publish the third chapter. I have been very busy with my school work. Thank you for being patient in waiting for the third chapter. *sweat drop* I love you all! \(w)/

this chapter has a little bit of GajeelxLevy in it.

again, I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL NOR THE CHARACTERS (except for Maria though). THEY ALL BELONG TO HIRO MASHIMA~

commence story~

The sun's rays are shining through Lucy's gigantic window. The sound of the alarm clock awakened our pretty blonde. She reached for the alarm and pressed the button.

"Gosh! The sun is seriously blinding me. What time is it?" she glanced at her clock and it was already 7:30AM. "What? You've gotta be kidding me! Only thirty minutes left? What am I lazing around for?" She stood up and went to her bathroom (A/N: yes, she has a bathroom in her room) for a quick shower.

She changed into her uniform and fixed her hair to her signature hairstyle. 20 minutes? I still haven't eaten my breakfast!

She opened her doors and took a look. "The stairs are too far. Why did my dad placed my room here in the first place?" then she eyed on the railings. "No choice but to do this technique again." She grabbed her bag and positioned her near the wall of her room. Her palms are sweating and took a deep breath. "Let's go!"

She ran off as fast as she could and grabbed the railings. Her legs were raised in midair and jumped off. She hugged her legs and her stomach is roaring, calling for food. She landed beautifully on the red violet carpet.

"Somersaults. My cheerleading and gymnastics skills aren't that bad. I never regretted that I joined them." She glanced at the grandfather clock and 18 minutes were left.

"Oh no!" she grabbed her lunch and a sandwich in the kitchen.

"How about your breakfast, Miss Lucy? " Maria exclaimed.

"No need. I'm going to be late. I'll eat this sandwich instead. Thanks for the hard work." She mounted on her bike and rushed off.

Upon nearing the gate, she yelled "Open the freakin' gate!" The guard heard her and did as what he was told. She stopped at the sight of Natsu.

"Good morning, Lucy." He waved.

"Morning, look, we've got no time to waste!" she snatched Natsu by the wrist and let him ride on her bike. Lucy kicked off.

"Lucy…I think I should be the one biking. Not you." Natsu gulped.

"No can do, Natsu. We need to get to school fast." Her blonde crown was flowing along with the wind.

Natsu found it awkward that his girlfriend was doing the biking while he sits clumsily on her bike. All he can do is pray that he won't stumble off.

Two minutes was left when they arrived at school. They were running towards the main door and switched their shoes into an indoor type (A/N: I don't know what those shoes are called though) then they sprinted off. Tick tock…tick tock…time was running fast and a few seconds were left.

5…4…3…2…1…swoosh! Lucy and Natsu were panting heavily at their classroom door. Their faces were full of sweat drops and their eyebrows furrowed.

"Did we make it?" Lucy asked.

Silence filled the room, all eyes on the blonde and salmon.

"I'll take that as a yes." She entered and the salmon followed. Lucy placed her bag on her desk and rested her head on it. Natsu sat down on his seat, just across Lucy's. He looked at the restless blonde.

"Geez. Don't ever do that again, Luce. I was breathless during the whole trip. Not to mention my motion sickness." Lucy shot a glance at him. "But it was fun! I can't believe that I have a girl that rides a bike so fast. But do promise me next time that we're going to walk to school." He added and flashed his wide smile. Lucy smiled back.

There was a smack on her desk. She looked up and saw a scarlet haired girl, wearing glasses over her dark brown eyes. Erza wearing glasses? It's pretty unusual.

"Hey Erza!" she said.

"How about going to the karaoke after school? You know, with Gray, Mirajane, Levy, Gajeel, Juvia. Of course, Natsu's coming too. Aren't you Natsu?" Erza patted Natsu's shoulder.

Natsu nodded. "Come on, Lucy. It will be fun."

Erza closed in to Lucy. "Don't worry. We're here for you in case of your first aid. We'll call your doctor immediately if it'll happen." She whispered in Lucy's ear.

"I smell a secret going on there." Natsu fussed. Both girls giggled. "Whatever you two are talking about, I hope it will burst out soon."

Lucy winded at Erza. "Sure. I'll go."

The afternoon came and students are flowing out of their respective classrooms. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Mirajane, Levy, Gajeel and Juvia are waiting outside the school gates. Lucy appeared and met up with them.

"Sorry for the wait." She bowed.

"No biggie. I know that you should really make that call." Erza said.

"Let's go!" Natsu yelled and went up ahead of everyone else.

They arrived at the Blue Light KTV Bar and took a room. The room was huge enough for eight people to fit in. Natsu lay down on the couch; Erza and Gajeel are skimming through the song list; Juvia, Mirajane and Levy are busy in picking some food; Gray sat and snatched up his phone and Lucy slumped down beside Natsu. Erza went to the bathroom carrying a huge bag.

"What's Erza going to do with that bag?" Lucy doubted.

"I dunno." Natsu replied.

"Were you forced to come here, Natsu?"

"W-what?"

"Were you forced or not?"

"Uh…well…" Natsu placed his arm at the back of his head.

Flashback

Early that morning at the gates of the Heartphilia manor

Krrrriiiiiiing! Krrrriiiiiing!

Natsu picked his phone and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Natsu." A serious voice replied.

"Erza?" he started sweating.

"You better come to the KTV bar later with Lucy."

"But I still have work."

"NO BUTS! YOU BETTER COME OR ELSE!" Erza's voice raised up that Natsu got a feeling that she might explode any second now.

"Y-yes ma'am! I'll come."

"Good. I'll tell Lucy about it later and when I pat your shoulder, you better say yes."

"Yes."

"Good dog. Now, see you later." She hanged up.

Ordering like I'm her servant. I can't believe Lucy befriended our evil class president. Natsu thought. Then the gates flung open and Lucy came out, riding on a bicycle.

"Good morning, Lucy." But in a matter of few minutes, she snatched him up.

"Uhh…no." Natsu replied.

Lucy studied Natsu's face like she's reading a menu where it has lots of choices about his expression and reply.

"W-what?"

"Well…your face…" Lucy's sentence was cut loose when there was a loud bang at the door. Erza was standing right there, wearing a short sleeved polo with its end tied up revealing her light complex belly, a short black skirt, black tights with high black boots. She tied her hair in a ponytail and she was still wearing her black framed glasses. Everyone was stunned by the "new" look of Erza.

Erza pointed her finger to Gajeel. "Let the showdown begin!"

"W-wait! We didn't even agree in using costumes. That's not fair." Gajeel exclaimed.

The scarlet folded her arms. "Oh really? We agreed on using our own strategy for this. You even swore! I even have evidence." She took out a tape recorder and played it.

"How about a karaoke showdown tomorrow? We'll use our own strategy and tactics. Clear?" (Gajeel)

"Yeah. And we'll sing the same song. Yes?" (Erza).

"Sure." (Gajeel)

Then Erza stopped it. Crimson eyes are dazing helplessly at the "evil" brown eyes then the recorder.

"A deal's a deal!" she grabbed her microphone. "I'm going up first."

"Tck. Fine." Gajeel sat down on the couch.

"The karaoke showdown between Gajeel and Erza has begun!" Mirajane yelled. Levy switched off the room's lights and turned the disco lights and lasers on.

Erza went up first with a fast paced song. She was singing at the top of her lungs and did some actions. Everyone was clapping and cheering. Erza wrapped it up with a rock star like pose. Her score is (drum roll)…94! Gajeel's jaw dropped.

"What's wrong Gajeel? Cat got your tongue? We also agreed on the same song."

Gajeel's senses came back. "O-of course not." He stood up and snatched the microphone.

"Go Gajeel!" Levy's echoed throughout the room.

Gajeel sang even though he was a bit pitched off and by the time he was finished, Levy jumped in and flung her hands at Gajeel's neck. They broke off just in time to reveal his score (drum roll)…93! Gajeel stomped his foot.

"What? Only one point? Come on! Damn it!" he started fussing around the room. Levy tried to calm him down. Erza was laughing at her seat.

"It looks like I'm still the winner for the 70th consecutive time!" Erza was smirking at his sight.

"You're going down, Erza!" Gajeel yelled. There was a knock at the door and the waiter came in, bringing their food.

"Two clubhouse burgers, three large fries, one chef salad, one strawberry shortcake, one mashed potato salad with cheese and eight sodas?"

"Yep, you've got everything right. Thank you so much." Mirajane smiled sweetly. The waiter blushed lightly and placed their orders on the table and left.

"How about a second round, Erza?" Gajeel yelled again.

"Sure. I'm up for it. Prepare to lose again, Gajeel Redfox!" she stood and grabbed the microphone from Gajeel's hand.

The remaining six started digging in to their food and enjoyed their time laughing, talking, eating and listening to the singing of their two weird friends.

It's a bit crappy. sorry about that. (w")

I dunno how to describe a somersault though. So, I just imagined one. X)
