"NATSU" A shriek echoed the room, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"
Every student that sat in Mr. Clive's chemistry class froze when the door had slammed open, revealing a very angry class president. She stalked over to the pink haired soon-to-be victim, who was currently sitting on the desk he and Lucy shared.
"Erza…" Natsu scooted slowly along the desk, eventually sitting directly in front of Lucy, who was shaken to her core. Lucy watched as Erza's arm shot out towards Natsu, her hand tightly gripping his scarf, before yanking him off the desk and dragging him out the door. Lucy shot up from her spot, smiling apologetically at the teacher, then swiftly grabbed both her and Natsu's bag off the floor while trailing after her 2 friends.
Following the sounds of Natsu begging for his life, Lucy made her way down the tiled hallways towards the office. Once entering, she smiled at the secretary who sighed and pointed towards a door labeled 'student office'. Lucy made her way over to the door, pausing before opening it, listening for any noises.
"Lucy! Get in here!" Erza commanded from inside the room, startling Lucy, who rushed in and slammed the door behind her. Erza narrowed her eyes and pointed at Lucy, then swung her arm towards Natsu, who sat in a chair, fear causing him to shake. The blonde rushed over the Natsu, throwing herself into the chair next to Natsu, the force causing it to roll into Natsu's chair.
"E-erza? May I ask why I'm in trouble" Lucy raised her hand slightly, praying Erza wouldn't get even angrier at the question.
"That's a wonderful question, Lucy. I shall tell you" Erza said calmly, her quick mood change unnerving Lucy even more. Her brown eyes stayed on Erza, who sat in a chair across from her, leaning her arms on the large oak table that sat in between them, making the situation seem like an interrogation.
"I don't suppose you heard about what happened this morning?" Erza stared at the two of them, watching their eyes widen with realization.
"Erza! I swear that was just a prank gone wrong!" Natsu shot forward in his chair, waving furiously waving in front of his face. "It was meant for Gray! I swear!" Lucy could see the sweat pouring down his face.
"That doesn't help explain why half of the front yard is PINK!" Erza exclaimed, losing her cool. Then her eyes found their way to Lucy's, eyes narrowing, "And you!" She stood, "You have been here for a week and you're already causing trouble with this idiot! I thought better of you" She fists slammed against the table.
"I-i'm sorry Erza!" Lucy cried out, " I didn't mean to, it was all him!" Lucy shifted the blame to Natsu, who gasped, surprised.
"What do you mean?" Natsu turned to the blonde next to him, "You helped pick the color and set it all up!" Natsu shot back. Lucy opened her mouth and retort, only to be stopped by Erza who once again, hit the table.
"It was both of you, and now for your punishment!" Erza exclaimed. Natsu and Lucy looked towards each other before bolting to the door, shoving chairs aside. Only for Erza grab their collars and stop them.
Gray and Levy stood by the locker banks, waiting for the rest of their friends, who had yet to show up. They knew Erza would be later because of student counsel, but Natsu and Lucy were usually here by now.
"Should we go look for them?" Levy asked, hiking her bag up her shoulder.
"Yeah, but they're probably just making out somewhere" Gray mumbled, "Let's ask the office what Lucy's last hour is, Natsu is probably there" Levy nodded in agreement and the two took off towards the office.
"Wait, Gray" Levy stopped the taller man, who was about the head into the office.
"What?" He turned around, giving a quizzical look to his smaller friend.
"You hear that?" Levy wandered farther down the hall and turned the corner, gasping at the sight.
Gray followed after, "Levy what are you go-" His sentence died once turning the corner. Duct tape ran across the wall, layering over each other,making a strong enough bond to hold up the two missing teens, whose mouths also had the silver tape over them. The two had their bodies pushed together, making their situation even more uncomfortable and painful.
Gray collapsed to the tiled floor, laughs racking his body, while Levy sighed and made her way of to the pair. Levy reached up and ripped the tape from Lucy's face, causing her to let out a noise of pain.
"Levy! That hurt!" Lucy gasped, shooting a glare at the short girl, who was struggling to reach Natsu, who was placed a bit higher than his blonde accomplice.
"N-no, leave t-that on him" Gray said between pants. Levy shrugged and did as told, backing away to examine the situation.
"How do we get them down? The duct tape is all tangled together" Levy put her index finger to her chin, tapping it slightly.
"We could leave them here" Gray snickered.
"I think not!" Lucy yelled from her placement on the wall. She could feel her sweat loosening the stickiness of the tape, though disgusting, it was good. She watched as Levy started picking at the tape, loosening her restraints even more, and felt Natsu squirm.
A large cracking noise was heard through the empty hallway, causing the blunette to leap from her spot, eyes wide with horror. One second the duo were securely on the wall, the next they were slowly falling forwards, unable to catch themselves as their arms were still bound.
Lucy turned her head to the side, hoping to spare most of her face and in, almost, slow motion, the two hit the ground. Once again Gray was on the floor cackling, while Levy sighed and grabbed Lucys arms and yanked her from the tape.
"Gray! Help me and remove Natsu from this mess" Levy commanded, shaking her head at the scene in front of her. The raven haired man stood and obeyed Levys demand, afraid to come face to face with her grabbed Natsu and started pulling him, and after 10 minutes of struggle, the duo were free.
"Thanks guys"Lucy pulled the last piece off of her leg, wincing slightly.
"No problem, but how did you guys even get into such a…stinky situation?" Levy gave a tiny smile at the pun, letting get bigger at the round of groans that came from her friends.
"Ha Ha" Lucy sighed, before glancing at Natsu, who was rubbing his cheek, when ripping off the tape, it had revealed a large rectangle that ran across the pink haired fiend's face. "Anyways, you know the pink all over the front yard of the school? Well.."Lucy trailed off, rubbing her neck.
"That was you!? I got pink all over my shoes!" Gray shouted and pointed at the two, then pointed at his shoes, that were in fact pink stained.
"YOSH! SUCCESS" Natsu shouted and grabbed Lucys waist, spinning the two around.
"Success?" Levy questioned, looked at the angry teens shoes.
"We were gonna drop the paint on Gray" Lucy explained, pulling away from Natsu's grasp.
"That was a lot of paint for one person, and how did it get all of the front of the school?!" Levy looked at the two in disbelief. The duo looked at each other and shrugged, walking towards the lockers.
"You know, Lucy was all nice and innocent before Natsu got his hands on her" Levy rubbed her face, looked at Gray who was rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, a match made in hell" The boy muttered before trailing after the two. Levy pondered a moment before jogging after her friends.
They all settled into their spots in the small clearing next to the school. Lucy laughed as Natsu told a story about his cat, Happy, who Lucy learned was blue, while Levy helped Gray with English homework.
"Hey Luce! I almost forgot" Natsu turned slightly towards his blonde haired friend, "Every Saturday we all meet at this Bar/Cafe, called Fairy Tail. You should come" Natsu grinned and Lucy paused, mentally checking her calendar.
"Alright, where and when?" Lucy nodded, smiling back at Natsu, who seemed pleased the girl had agreed.
"I'll text you details later" Levy piped up from her spot on the ground, before going back to helping Gray with his assignment. Lucy sat back in her chair she shared with Natsu, and started planning what she was gonna wear, even though it was only Tuesday.
Lucy examined her outfit in the mirror, making sure it was perfect. The rest of the week passed and Saturday had come in no time, making the blonde nervous. It wasn't like school where she could put on her uniform and be done, she wanted to look good for her first time out with new friends.
She wore a blue mini skirt and a orange tank top, along with a red bow to keep her hair in her normal side pony tail. A beep pulled Lucy from her thoughts. She looked at her phone, which was flashing a large 1:30, signaling it was time to leave. Grabbing her phone she exited her room and headed towards the door, sliding on a pair of black boots.
"I'm heading out dad!" She called out. Before she could escape her dad came rushing from whatever part of the house he was inhabiting at the moment.
"Where are you going?" He demanded, "And when are going to be back, who are you with" He gave her a stern look, causing his daughter to sigh.
"I'm going to this Cafe, I'm gonna be with a few friends from school, and I don't know when I'll be back" She questioned, sending a look back towards him. He opened his mouth to protest, but Lucy had already slipped out the door. Sighing, she pulled out her phone, and copied the address Levy texted her and inserted it into google maps, before following the path laid out for her.
It was about a 15 minute walk from her house to her destination, and when she arrived she was greeted by an excited Natsu who was standing outside a fairly large building.
"Lucy" Natsu bounded over and threw a arm around the blonde's shoulders, guiding her towards the doors, "Welcome to Fairy Tail"
