Yeah! My first one. Suggested by my friend Kayla that I do one where Levy and Gajeel have a cooking bet, so here it is.
-Ginger
Gajeel walked into the Fairy Tail guild hall one day, Lily floating behind him. Levy was in the corner, reading her usual big heavy books, and pushing her glasses repeatedly up her nose as they slipped down. Gajeel thought this was rather cute. He walked over to Levy, and she nodded her head, showing that she knew he was there.
"Hey,what's up, Shrimp?"
"Not much. Natsu and Gray were at it again, but Erza told them to knock it off or she and Lucy get all the money from the mission they were about to leave for. They shut up really fast." Levy said.
"Gihihi, sounds like Salamander. Ah, well, what are you reading about?" Gajeel snickered.
"Cooking." Levy said promptly.
"Cooking? But... Er, you happen to be sitting at a table with no food whatsoever on it."
"Nah, I'm not actually cooking, just reading about it."
"Well, I'm hungry, why don't you make Lily and me a cake?" suggested Gajeel. "Since you've only read about it, I bet you can't make one half-decent."
Levy marked her page with care and stood up, a glint of accepted challenge in her eye.
"Alright! But if I make a good cake, you have to do anything I say." Levy betted.
"Likewise." Gajeel agreed.
Levy rushed up to Mira, who was serving some drinks.
"Hey, Mira, can I use the kitchen?"
"Sure, Levy, but clean up any mess you make, okay?" Mira said cheerfully.
"Okay! I'm all fired up!" Levy cheered.
Levy walked into the kitchen, looking around this strange new environment. It wasn't a book, but she had seen things like it. Levy fumbled with a cookbook, opening it to a recipe of a moist vanilla cake.
"Perfect." Levy muttered. "Butter, cake flour, eggs, sugar..."
Once she had collected all her ingredients, she read the first instruction.
"'Whip egg whites to a stiff foam.'" Levy recited. "This won't be so bad."
Ten minutes later, there were perfectly stiff egg whites, and one very tired Levy. But she couldn't give up!
"'Sift and mix Cake flour, Sugar, and Salt to taste in bowl. Chop butter and whip it. Add dry ingredients to the wet ones.'"
Levy spent about two hours in the kitchen, but after a long time, the cake was finally done. She took it out to Gajeel, who looked both very bored and slightly impressed.
"Let's see if it makes the cut." He said.
Levy took a kitchen knife and took out a small piece for her and Gajeel.
"Let me try it first." Levy said, putting a bite in her mouth.
It tasted terrible.
"Uggghhh!" Levy cried. She had lost the bet.
"Gi hi hi! Well, we made a bet, and you lost! So wear a grin and bear it." Gajeel laughed.
"Ugh... Man, Gajeel..."
From then on, Levy preferred to keep her baking ordeals in her imagination.
The end.
