Hola! ¿Cómo estás hoy? Haha. For those who don't speak Spanish, that means 'hello! How are you today?'
Thank all of you who reviewed last chapter! They made me really happy! I also want to thank Lilitraum for the message! It really gave me a boost of courage and motivation to become a better writer. And if your reading this, I will pm you back I just have to finish writing my portion of the story!
Hey. Have any of you noticed that only a specific part about writing is awesome? For me, its describing clothes. Even though I am not a girly girl at alllll. There's just this thing about describing clothes that makes me... is happy the word? But anywhooo... you will see a lot of it in this chapter.
And I really am sorry if I haven't updated. I found out that my Mamaw was checked into the hospital and she's gotten worse. So I've been making up for years of not crying. Thank you for being patient with me and please don't stop reading this story just because I don't update regularly. If your going to stop reading it, stop reading it because it sucks.
Well, onward!
A sound soul
Dwells within a sound mind
And a sound body
Waking up with light in your eyes is a really shitty way to wake up. At least for Lucy. Looking at the clock, she almost cursed. It was nearly time to head to the academy for the dance. Lucy sighed and tried sitting up slowly. Only, she couldn't. She looked down and saw both Erza and Cana laying on top of her with more than one of their body parts draped and intertwined with each other- and Lucy- if that was even possible. Lucy then looked towards the door and saw Gajeel in the corner opposite the door.
"Damn..." Lucy muttered. She layed back down and stretched her free arm to grab a hold of whatever she could grab. Without looking to see what it was, she threw it at Gajeels head.
"OW!" he hissed. Lucy shushed him.
"Go wake the boys up" she demanded. Gajeel huffed and slowly-but-surely made his way to Natsu's room. Now for the hard part.
Waking these two monsters up. Well, just monster. With Cana, she can just smack her in the head and give her a beer to wake her up. But Erza... Lucy's woken her up before and it wasn't a pretty sight. Not to mention she'll have a hangover.
Well...here goes nothing, Lucy thought. As mentally prepared, she smacked Cana and gently shook Erza awake. When Erza began st stir, Lucy curled on of her hands into a fist in case of her lashing out, which is what she did last time but Lucy was lucky 'cause she got Natsu and not her.
"Fuck! Why'd you hit me!?" Cana shouted.
"SHHH! Erza's cranky when she get's woken up" Lucy warned her friend. Cana instantly shut up. The last time she didn't listen to the Blonde, she almost got sent to the hospital. Let's just say she did NOT want that happening again. Cana gently got up and went to the bathroom to get some medicine.
Lucy again shook Erza gently and this time she opened her eyes. Still having her hand balled up, Lucy cautiously looked in the red heads eyes. They were surprisingly not life threatening.
"What time is it?" Erza asked softly, to afraid to make her headache worse.
"Three. We have two hours to get ready and be there" Lucy replied in an equally soft tone. Erza sighed and relaxed back onto Lucy's stomach. A few minutes later, Cana came back with Advil and water.
"Thanks" both Lucy and Erza said. Cana shook her head in acknowledgment and plopped back down on the bed.
"We should get up and start getting dressed" Erza announced suddenly. Lucy sighed but nodded anyway and rolled out of bed. Luckily, since she's used to being hungover, she's used to them. But that doesn't mean she likes them.
"I'll take a shower first" Lucy said. Without waiting for a response, she exited the room, but not without taking a quick peak in Natsu's room to see if they were up.
They weren't.
Lucy thought about waking them up, but quickly decided against it. Consider it payback for not getting up when Gajeel went in there to wake them up. Besides, seeing them rush around trying to get ready in five minutes sounded funny to her.
When she got to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, she paled and nearly gagged. She looked like shit. One could clearly tell she was hungover. The bags under her eyes, the sickly tint of her skin that said she could throw up at any second. And her breath. Oh GOD her breath! It was from another world!
Lucy quickly brushed her teeth while turning on the shower and then stripped. After she got the water to the temperature she liked, she hopped in sighing in delight as the warm water hit her body.
Knock. Knock.
Lucy poked her head from behind the curtain as Erza walked in.
"Want me to wake the boys up?" she asked. Lucy snorted.
"No" she said and they both started laughing.
"No" Lucy said sternly.
"But-"
"No" she said again. Erza sighed. She didn't understand why she couldn't wear her clothes. As if reading her mind, Lucy answered.
"You are not wearing those sad clothes to this dance. You need to dress like a hooker for one night and show that body of yours off" Lucy said- bluntly, if Erza might add.
Erza sighed again as she looked at her clothes that she rushed to get as Lucy was in the shower. She picked a long dark blue spaghetti strap dress with a small slit going up to her right upper thigh. Then she looked at the dress Lucy had out for her...
The sleek black dress looked as if it came to her Lower thighs. It was also spaghetti strap, except for the small fact that it could also be strapless. It had small silver rhinestones outlining the top of the dress and the bottom. To finish it off, there were small, fairly unnoticeable dark gray crosses decorating the dress in random spots.
Erza looked at Lucy but the look she was given back basically meant to "Shut up and get her ass in the dress." Sighing for the millionth time that day, she conceded. After forcing the dress on, it wasn't a bad as the thought.
The dress wasn't skin tight but one could still see her curves. And thanks to Lucy buying bras recently and them being the same size, she could wear the dress strapless, much to her chagrin.
"See? Your hot! You should show off your body more" Lucy said, seemingly pleased with herself. While getting her dress on, Lucy had apparently also changed. It was the same length as Erza's and almost the exact same dress, except Lucy's was blood red with black rhinestones outlining the top and bottom. And, as with Erza's dress, has small unnoticeable dark red hearts in random spots.
"We look like sexy, dark twins!" Lucy said, admiring herself and Erza in front of a mirror. Erza almost feel to the floor as she realized Lucy's scheme. Lucy looked at her and smiled, as if to say she was right.
"We'll be the only two people there that look like sluts! And how can we fight in this!?" Erza shouted.
"Calm down," Lucy started, "I can almost guarantee you that we wont. And as for your other concern..." Lucy took the bottom of Erza's dress and found a small, blended in zipper and zipped it up to Erza's hip, showing the side of the dark red thong Lucy forced her into. "Mine has one to, see?" she asked as she found the zipper on her dress, showing black instead of red.
"Why do opposite colors? Couldn't you have been satisfied with wearing one of these and shoving me into a pink one or something?" Erza asked, slightly annoyed.
Lucy, not feeling the vibe, shrugged and said, "I thought it would be fun. I've never had a friend to do this with so I wanted to try it. Now for the make up!" Lucy said, suddenly looking evil. Erza sighed and decided to go along with it.
The make up, of course, was also opposite. Just like the under garments, Lucy had black based colors on her face and Erza had dark red based colors. The only thing black on Erza's face being the mascara and eye liner.
Shoes? What do you think? Truthful to her scheme, Lucy placed dark red heels in front of Erza and then put on her black heels.
They truly did look like twins... except that Lucy had blond hair and Erza had red. Erza suddenly didn't care if they looked the exact same. She was having as much fun as Lucy right now, even though she didn't want to admit it.
"Ok. We have thirty minutes to be at the school. Should we wake the boys up now?" Lucy asked. Erza froze. She completely forgot about the boys. It took her and Lucy almost two hours to get ready. How long would it take them?
"Yes! We'll be killed if we're late!" Erza said, suddenly freaking out. Lucy laughed to herself before following suite. Seems the door found its way closed and locked in the span of them getting ready.
"Move aside" Lucy said, grinning like a mad man. Lucy stood in front of the door and lifted her foot up. Before Erza could stop her, Lucy kicked the door in, successfully scaring the boys awake. Then, with an evil glint in her eyes, she lied, "You now have ten minutes to get ready AND make it to the school or it's our asses on a platter. Go."
Now awake, they all scrambled up and rushed to get ready, even Jellal who did not run. Lucy and Erza laughed as they watched the show. All they needed now was popcorn.
Lucy laughed at the boys, minus Gajeel. He went home to get ready since he didn't have a curfew. So they weren't late, Gray and Jellal ended up wearing something of Natsu's.
"It's a good thing Wendy sometimes bought me the wrong sizes whenever she tried getting me into something fancy" Natsu said. The other two agreeing. They were all wearing black dress pants and black shoes and socks. The only difference their shirts, which were all silk. Natsu had on a red shirt, Gray a Dark blue one and his usual cross necklace, and Jellal a dark Gray shirt.
"You boys look good, considering you got ready in five minutes" Erza said, struggling to not laugh.
"Where's Cana?" Gray asked.
"She went home to get ready" Lucy answered.
"She goes to our school?" he asked surprised.
"Yep!" Lucy answered. "It's a good thing I lied to you. Now we have twenty-five minutes to get to the school!" she cheerfully announced. Her and Erza laughed as they walked out the door. Natsu was about to yell when he realized what Lucy was wearing. Both her and Erza looked hot. But Lucy... damn. It was probably the man in him talking, but just looking at her made him feel hot.
"You look good" Jellal said to Erza. She blushed and looked away, which Jellal just smiled at. Now if only Natsu could nut up and tell Lucy she should good. No... good was to bland. Beautiful was more like it.
The walk to the school was a long one but luckily not boring. Natsu and Gray kept on picking fights with each other and Erza, of course, kept on breaking them up. Even Lucy, who get her foot stepped on a few times, helped break up the fights. It was all a seemingly normal night.
Oh how that will change...
They arrived at the school with exactly forty-three seconds to spare. And the second they stepped through those doors, Makarov barked out orders. They were taking turns. Since Juvia was already there, her and Gray got to dance while Erza and Jellal was on snack duty and Lucy and Natsu were on guard duty.
Now standing in front of the floor to ceiling windows, Natsu and Lucy were on high alert. Even though he was supposed to be watching the dance, hes eyes kept on wondering to Lucy. Was now the right time to say it?
It was now or never...
"Lucy" he said.
She looked over to him, "What?"
"You look really b-"
"NATSU!"
Said boy looked over and saw Lisanna running- or whatever it is girls do in heels- towards him. She was wearing a lime green strapless dip hem dress. It had small silver rhinestones decorating the top to just under her breasts and the dip had ruffles, making it look more flared out. To finish it off, she had silver heels and silver and lime green make-up.
"Wow. You look good" Natsu complimented her. He inwardly cursed himself that he didn't finish Lucy's first.
Lisanna's eyes lit up. "Oh thank you, your so sweet" she said, emphasizing 'sweet'. Lucy just rolled her eyes and a small smile showed it's way onto her face. She knew what Natsu was about to say to her.
"Natsu" Lucy said. He looked at her. "You don't look so bad yourself" she said, smiling softly, a smile which Natsu gladly returned. Lisanna looked back and forth between the two and pouted her lip.
"Come dance with me" Lisanna said.
Natsu shook his head, the smile still displayed on his face, "Can't. Me and Luce have to keep watch." Lisanna frowned.
"You used to be so much more fun. What happened to the bad ass Natsu who didn't like following the rules and didn't like people telling him what to do and did whatever he wanted?" Lisanna ranted.
"I'm still the same old Natsu. Now, since you practically demanded I dance with you, fuck off. I still do what I want, when I want. I just do them with with people now" Natsu said, his smile gone and an almost angry look replacing it.
Lisanna just looked at him, hurt clearly displayed on her face. She looked down, trying to hide the tears in her eyes, and walked away. Natsu instantly felt bad. He didn't mean to go off on her, it just happened. She should know better than anybody not to tell him off like she just did. He's have to apologize to her later.
Then he looked over to Lucy, who just smirked and looked proud of him. The regret he felt for Lisanna instantly dissipated. Why was it he wanted Lucy's approval over anyone else's? Was it because, in some twisted way, she was just like him? Parents gone, lonely, misunderstood...
"Damn. Light weight's got balls," He heard someone say. Him and Lucy looked over and noticed Cana with a man.
"Hey Cana, hey Bacchus," Lucy said. As soon as Natsu heard that name, he felt jealousy.
That's the guy Lucy said she was dared to make out with... Natsu thought with disdain. He didn't look bad. Just drunk off his ass... actually, both him and Cana looked wasted.
"OMG! Your wearing one of the dresses I gave you!" Cana shouted gleefully.
Lucy laughed, "Yep! Erza has the other one on," she said. Cana swiveled around until she spotted said girl.
"Damn I have good taste. She looks hot in that. Both of you do" Cana said, to which Lucy shook her head in thanks.
"You look hot yourself" Lucy said, eying her clothes. Cana had on a sleek, shiny dark purple spaghetti strap dress with a slit going up to her upper thigh. The dress had a bit of a trail and she was wearing shiny purple pumps. The dress reminded Lucy of Erza's dress... Wow she felt like a bitch. If Erza's dress was anything like Cana's when she wore it, Lucy might have let her wear it.
Who was she kidding? No she wouldn't have.
She then looked over to Bacchus. He was wearing the black dress pants, shoes, and socks like every man in the room was. But his shirt... it was almost the exact shade Cana's was except a tish darker. And he also had a black vest over it but... they were both unbuttoned. Everyone could see his tan, muscular chest.
"You let him leave the house like that?" Lucy asked. Cana looked over to Bacchus and then smacked him upside the head.
"Your not developing a stripping habit are you?" Cana demanded.
"No!" Bacchus yelled.
Before anyone could stop him, Natsu started laughing, "Please! Stripping is Gray's thing." He pointed to the dance floor and, sure enough, Gray was without his shirt. This time Bacchus fell out laughing.
"I like you kid. We should hang out, the four of us and get WILD!"
"Haha... one day we will. Promise," Lucy said. And with that, Cana said her goodbyes and dragged Bacchus to the refreshment table.
"You said she went to our school?" Natsu asked.
"Yep. Cana is Gildart's daughter. So that makes Bacchus her weapon" Lucy explained.
"Ah. And what kind of weapon if he?" Natsu asked.
"A Jimpul" she answered. With the confused look Natsu was giving her, Lucy explained, "It's a curved single-edged, flat grind blade with deer antlers as the hilt."
"Oh. Never heard of it." he admitted.
"A lot of people haven't," she replied, "You ever notice the exotic weapons we have here?" she asked suddenly, still looking out for any trouble that might go on in the room. Just as Natsu was about to respond, Erza and Jellal came up to them.
"It's your turn to dance. We have your post for the next hour" Erza said. Lucy and Natsu nodded their heads and headed onto the dance floor.
"I have noticed" Natsu said, responding to the earlier question.
"Ever wondered why? Or do you know?" Lucy asked.
"No idea."
"It's our lineage. Bacchus's weapon form is never heard of because his lineage goes back to ancient tribal periods. And those of us thick bladed weapons like me and Jellal most likely relate to the medieval era. Lisanna is obvious, her's is medieval Japan. And Gajeel is more than likely related to someone who was a gladiator. And Wendy also probably has tribal lineage since she's a spear. Juvia is probably the only one who is related to someone post nineteen hundreds" Lucy explained.
Natsu felt like his head was going to explode due to all of the new information. There was more to the weapons thing than Natsu ever imagined.
"And as for meisters. The only reason you guys are partnered with weapons like us is because of two things," they stopped dancing and Lucy help up a finger, "One: our personalities. And," she held up another finger, "Two: something we have in common. I'll let you think about that one. If you haven't thought up an explanation by the end of the dance, I'll tell you." Lucy said as she grabbed Natsu's shoulders and started dancing again.
Then all of a sudden, the light's went out. Panicking screams filled the room and in the midst of it all, Lucy heard an evil, sadistic laugh. She let go of Natsu and turned around, trying desperately to find its source. Then the lights flickered back on and standing in the middle of the room was nurse Angel.
"Angel! What's going on here?" Makarov asked. Instead of answering, she showed a smile that a snake would give. She threw off her white coat, showing her in a white knee length feather dress and the white snake tattoos adorning both her arms.
"Hehehe... Makarov you fool. You've had a witch under your nose this whole time," Angel smiled sadistically again, "I'm taking over the school and there's nothing you can do to stop me" Angel said. Then three more figures appeared beside her.
"Introduce yourselves" Angel said.
A face Lucy and Natsu knew very well stepped forward, "My name is Imitatia."
"My name is Velveno" a new face said. He has a black afro and crazy, black eyes.
"And my name is Mary Hughes" a woman with purple hair with a white strip in it and yellow eyes said.
Angel grinned as she, Michelle, Velveno, and Mary slowly disappeared into the floor. Before Angel's head fell through, she said, "I cast a spell. No one will be able to get in or out of this room."
When they were all gone, Makarov banged his head on the snack table, breaking it. Then, four coffins appeared in the floor. Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Jellal, Gray, Juvia, Mira, and Gildarts fell into them. As soon as Lucy and Natsu fell through, the opening closed up.
"Master! Where are they going!?" Levy asked, worried for her friends.
"I sent them to where Angel and her lackeys are most likely. Down below..." Makarov trailed off. Laxus gasped.
"Grandpa... you don't mean..." Laxus said.
"I'm afraid I do. It's all up to them now" he said, sadness and hope displayed in his eyes.
Well how was it? Long huh? ;)
you like that stuff about the meisters and weapons? I just totally pulled that out of my ass. I tried makin this one looonger. And I successfully did it! so yeah... clothes. I absolutely love describing them! It's the only thing girlie about me. I hate shopping for them and wearing them, but I love talking about them. Actually... the only girlie thing I like is nail polish... which I have a shit ton of... Sinful Colors is my brand. Love it.
Anyways, R&R.
Until Next Time!
