This next story happened within the past 2 months and was endlessly entertaining to me at the time and now my best friend is considered Target's hero by the cashiers. Hope everyone enjoys. ~Savy

Lucy walked into work feeling pretty damn good that day. She had been accepted to USF that day, her makeup was perfect, and she had a short mid-shift. The only thing that was slightly concerning was the emergency text Cana had sent her about an hour ago:

Cana: I might get fired today

That was slightly disconcerting considering they had been working at Target for nearly 3 years, were cross-trained in many departments and got along well with almost everyone. Almost everyone. There was one manager that had managed to rub them since she transferred to the store. Overly happy, in a fake sort of way, obvious pompous attitude, and self-important personality basically made this woman the bane of going to work.

Lucy eventually made it over to Cana to talk before her shift began. "So, what's with the ominous text you sent me this morning?"

Cana looked upset but not in the angry fiery way she normally did, no, this was a concerned and worried upset Lucy had only seen a few times. "We were all just fucking around in the breakroom like always, Natsu and I were talking shit about Angel when she walked in." She sighs, "She was eavesdropping and heard everything we said, I don't regret it, but I have bills and shit to take care of, I don't wanna get fired. Laxus is supposed to mediate the meeting so we can 'talk it out'."

"Wow. What did she say when she caught you guys?" Lucy asks.

Cana giggles at that and puts on her best preppy voice, "Um, that conversation isn't work appropriate." She giggles again. "It was mortifying and perfect at the same time."

"Listen I will talk to you after your mediation-whatever, I have to clock in and Laxus is giving me the 'stop talking to Cana like always' glare." Lucy waves as she walks into the offices to put her purse away.

2 Hours Later

Cana, Angel and Laxus went into the conference room 45 minutes ago and Lucy was watching the door like her life depended on it, hardly doing her job at that point. When the doors opened she didn't expect what she saw. Laxus looked completely shell-shocked, Angel's makeup looked disgusting from crying and Cana looked red in the face and itching for a fight. To say Lucy was thoroughly confused was an understatement. Yeah, Cana had one hell of a back bone and wasn't afraid to speak her mind, but she had never made anyone cry before. And Laxus was their unshakeable lead of department! Yet she was watching the man rubbing his temples and mumbling to himself.

Cana walked beside Lucy's register and said nothing more than, "We need drinks tonight, I have to tell you about the shitstorm."

After another two hours they were both off work and sitting at one of their favorite bars, glass in hand and spicy fresh wings and fries in front of them.

"So, are we going to talk about it now since we have drinks and food?"

"Yeah, so, I'm not fired."

"Okay? And?"

"And it was a meeting to clear the air between us, but instead turned into and screaming match between Angel and I while Laxus watched in horror. Everything is off the record so nothing bad will happen to anyone involved." Cana sighs and takes a long drink of her margarita.

"I can't believe you made her cry, she looks like a wet rat without makeup on." Lucy giggled and bit into a fry.

"There were lots of screaming and crying on both out parts, but I don't wear makeup since I'm hot 24/7. Anyway, I've just been tired of her bullshit, so I called her out on it. I also called her a cunt repeatedly." She pauses and smiles devilishly. "I also told her to stop thinking she's all that because reality check, she's just a manager at Target and isn't going anywhere in life."

Lucy nearly spits out her drink and stares at her best friend. A long pause happens with just the girls staring at one another when they both bust out laughing loudly. "Oh my god! I love you so much! Fuck dude that's fucking crazy!"

A Few Weeks Later…

"I can't believe it's Angel's last day. I can't believe she put in her two weeks' notice after that confrontation." Lucy says in awe of Cana.

"I'm pretty fucking awesome. I can't tell you how many people have thanked me since then."

"I know, I've seen it with my own eyes."

"It's good to know I'm appreciated by my peers."

"Bullshit, you just want to watch the world burn by your hands."

"Hell, yes I do."
