Lies

"Let's go Lucy!" Cana threw her arm around the young girls neck and started to drag her out of the guild. Mira watched them with a smile on her face.

"Be careful you two."

"Don't worry Mira! I can keep the lil girl out of trouble!"

"Cana...you know what will happen when Erza finds out about you taking Lucy out to drink."

"She won't find out"

"Then you better find a way to hide Lucy."

"When is Erza supposed to be back?"

"Tomorrow."

"I'll keep Lucy with me. Just tell her we went on a job!"

Lucy looked up at Mira with pleading eyes. "Don't let her kidnap me..." Cana covered her mouth and started laughing as she dragged Lucy out of the guild.

…...

Erza walked down the empty streets. It was late at night and she just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. She saw a few drunks stumbling along the sidewalk and some passed out. She shook her head.

'Why do people even do things like this?' Erza finally reached her and Lucy's place and unlocked the door. She walked in and headed to their bedroom. She noticed that Lucy wasn't there. She didn't see a note or anything. 'Maybe she went on a job or slept somewhere else.' Erza thought. She changed into her pajamas and laid down in bed. She would ask about Lucy tomorrow.

…...

"All right Lucy!" Cana jumped into the pool and swam towards Lucy who was laying face down in the water. They had somehow ended up in someone's pool. Cana flipped Lucy over and and Lucy opened her eyes.

"I'm a fish."

"Nah! You're a mermaid!"

"But that's Aquarius..." Lucy laughed and splashed Cana. Lucy was more drunk than Cana. The older girl had many years of experience after all. Cana pulled Lucy up out of the pool. She saw some guys walking their way.

"Hey."

"Why hello ladies. Care to join us?"

"I don't mind." Cana said as she put her arms around one of the guys. She heard a thump as Lucy fell on the ground. Another guy picked Lucy up and walked into the house. Cana laughed and walked inside. She continued to talk to the guy she was with and found out his name was Lance.

"So what brings you ladies here? I mean you randomly showed up in our pool."

"I don't know. I was just teaching my friend how to relax."

"You're not Erza!"

"Crap..." Cana ran upstairs and looked for Lucy. She started to enter a room when Lucy barged out and ran past her. Cana stumbled and rolled down the stairs. Lance helped her up. Cana rubbed her back and ran out after Lucy.

…...

Erza walked into the guild the next morning and found Mira.

"Can you tell me where Lucy is?"

"Out on a job with Cana I believe."

"Oh. How long have they been gone?"

"Since yesterday."

…...

Lucy woke up and rolled over expecting to feel Erza beside her.

"Gah!" She yelled as she rolled into a hot spring. She looked around frantically and saw Cana laying on a log naked. "What the hell happened last night?" Lucy asked herself. She rubbed her head and got out of the water. She noticed that she too was naked. "What!?" Lucy looked around for her clothes and found nothing. Cana woke up and glared at the noisy girl.

"I'm trying to sleep."

"Well I'm trying to find my clothes and figure out why the hell I'm in a forest!"

"Huh?" Cana looked around. "Oh...yeah I don't remember what happened..."

"I feel sick..." Lucy fell to her knees and started throwing up behind a tree. She groaned and leaned her head against the tree. Cana got up and started walking. Lucy shot her a glare and stood as well. Her head was pounding and she just wanted to curl up and sleep.

'How the hell does Cana manage this all the time?' She thought. Lucy followed Cana.

"Where are our clothes?"

"No idea."

"Are we walking home naked?"

"Yep. I know a way to Fairy Hills where we won't see people."

"I have a feeling this has happened to you before."

"Maybe."

"We didn't...well you know..."

"I don't think we had sex Lucy."

"Good."

"Let's just get home before Erza does."

"Yeah."

…...

"Erza! You're back!"

Erza turned to see Natsu and Gray running up to her. "Hey guys."

"So did you hear about the drunks?" Natsu asked.

"No what happened?"

"Well I heard a couple drunk girls jumped in someone else's pool, ran around town, stripped and ran off into the woods."

"Who would do something so stupid?"

"No idea."

"Mira?"

"Yes Erza?"

"Do you think Cana and Lucy got back yet?"

"I don't know. Maybe they went to Cana's to sleep."

"I'll go check."

…...

Lucy waited for Cana to unlock her door. She felt another wave of nausea coming.

"Hurry Cana..."

"I don't have my key..."

"Dammit Cana!" Lucy heard someone walking their way and ran off to hide behind a plant. Cana kicked in her door and walked to her bed to sleep.

"Lucy." Erza sighed as she walked past Cana's room and headed straight for the plant where Lucy was hiding. "I know you are there."

"Damn..."

"Why are you naked and what are you doing?"

"Uhh...I was bathing."

"Yeah you and I both know I don't believe that. What really happened?"

"Cana."

"Figures. Come on. I'm taking you home."

"I need to throw up..."

"Go ahead."

Lucy ran to the bathroom and Erza walked into Cana's room.

"You're going to pay for this Cana." She heard a grunt as she exited the room and found Lucy laying on the bathroom floor. "What am I going to do with you?" Erza wrapped Lucy in a blanket that she took from Cana's room and picked Lucy up. She started walking home when Lucy woke up.

"I'm sorry Erza."

"It's fine. Just don't lie to me again."

"I won't."

"Good." Erza walked down the streets with Lucy in her arms. When she passed the guild, she could hear their friends laughing and talking about how much trouble Lucy and Cana were in.

"I'm in trouble aren't I?"

"You are, but not for what state I found you in. I'm going to punish you for lying." Erza smiled and Lucy paled.

'Note to self...never lie to Erza unless I'm ready for a punishment that she smiles for.'
