Part 3 Out of 3:

A Sleeping Drought that Messes Everything Up

"Really Mira, really?" Gray asked from behind the scheming white haired girl, eyebrow arched. "You're now messing with you and Erza's bet and making it to where you'll win? That's not exactly fair, now is it?" Mira waved a dismissive hand at him, rolling her eyes.

"It's just a silly little ol' bet Gray, I doubt Erza will mind much at all." she said off handedly. Gray eyed her suspiciously.

"Yeah-huh. A small little bet, huh?" Mira nodded, not even looking at him as she continued doing with what she was doing. "Then why are you slipping a sleeping drought in a cake that's vanilla cream coconut, one of Natsu's favorite cakes?" Mira turned sharply to him, blue eyes narrowed dangerously.

"I'm doing him a favor!" she snapped, Gray holding up his hands in a defensive gesture. "And besides," she said in a more soothing tone, turning back to her task at hand. "I'm helping him out! Natsu is really tired from his last mission and he isn't really found of festivals because of the moving rides and all." She gave a one shoulder shrug.

"Festivals don't really have rides, at all actually, you're thinking of amusement parks. Festivals have bobbing for apples and shooting the balloons, shit like that, not some roller coaster that'll make the idiot puke his brains out." Gray corrected. Mira shot him another glare causing him to roll his eyes.

"Oh, be quiet Gray, I'm still helping the poor baby out, our son cannot date that witch!" she hissed. Gray's eyes widened in confusion and shock.

"Wait, when did Natsu become our son and when did you start calling Erza a witch again?!" Gray exclaimed. Mira waved another dismissive hand over her shoulder.

"Details, details!" she said sweetly, turning around with a perfectly made vanilla cream coconut cake in hand. "Now, all we've gotta do is give this to Natsu and all will be well!" Gray pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a long sigh.

"Why am I in the middle of all this?" he groaned.

"Come Gray darling~! Our son awaits us!" Mira sang.

"He's not our goddamn son!"

"It's six thirty! Where is that idiot?!" Lucy all but screamed, looking at the clock above her kitchen stove. Erza sat in front of her, tapping her foot impatiently as she let out a breath of anger, her bangs scattering across her forehead messily.

"I don't see why we can't just get his sorry ass over here." Erza huffed, arms crossed. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"I've told you Erza! It wouldn't be kosher. No, is that the right word for this?" Lucy paused, then shrugged. "Oh well," she turned her attention back to Erza. "We will still wait for the idiot." Erza sighed in frustration, shoulders slumping.

"Fine."

"It's eight! He's two hours late!" Lucy screamed, throwing her head back and pulling at her messy blonde locks. Erza stood up abruptly, slamming her hands down roughly on the table.

"That is it!" a familiar shout came, cutting off Erza's own anger as Gray came storming from Lucy's front door, startling both of the girls. Gray came stomping in with annoyance on his face as he pointed abruptly at Erza who stood in shock. "Don't go and get mad at Natsu, Mira drugged him into a deep sleep to miss the date do she can win." Gray whirled around just as Mira came barging in with desperation on her face, his pointer finger finding a new victim. "And you've just lost a bet." he said as he stomped off leaving three girls in Lucy's apartment shell shocked.

Erza was the first to come out of her shock and looked towards Mira with a blank face.

"You now owe me twenty bucks. Pay up."

"How much sleeping drought did you put in the fucking cake? It's been two weeks and he's still comatose!"

"Actually, the effects most likely wore off by now and he's just in a real deep sleep and hasn't waken up yet. That or I probably used really strong stuff. Dunno. Bought it from a man wearing a Sailor Moon cosplay at the market."

"This is why we go to Poluchka instead of some guy wearing a Sailor Moon cosplay!"

"Oh well."
