Author's Note: Who wants to play capture the flag? Apparently, Natsu wants to play it.
Disclaimer: Nope. I don't own anything.
When I awake, I'm in the sick bay. Alphonse, Levy, and Gajeel are at my side.
"What happened after I passed out?" I ask.
"Natsu kicked Loke's ass," Levy answers.
"I see..." I say.
"Anyway, we came to tell you that tomorrow we're going on a field trip. We leave at one tomorrow!" Alphonse announces.
"Hooray! A field trip! I hope we go somewhere fun!" I cheer.
Turns out, our field trip is to Navy Pier. At one in the morning.
"Guys... I don't think we should be doing this," I say as we approach the pier, which would be a lot busier in the daytime.
"Hey, capture the flag is a fun, wholesome pastime that all of the factions enjoy," Natsu explains. "Especially if it involves Super Soakers."
Natsu and Gajeel - the team captains - then distribute Super Soakers to us.
"Aren't we near Kuroshitsuji faction's headquarters?" Levy asks us.
"We must be, since I can smell the colonge," A boy with a red tattoo on his face comments sarcastically.
"Oh, you're one to talk, Jellal! Who wasted two of our precious minutes to liberally spray Axe body spray all over himself?" A woman asks Jellal before she downs a barrel of beer.
"Shut up, Cana," Jellal retorts. Natsu clears his throat.
"Anyway, let the games begin!" Natsu announces. With that, we split up. I decide to go straight to the ferris wheel. That way, I can pick off the opposing team one by one like in Assassins' Creed.
"Can I join you?"
Natsu runs up to me.
"Sure. It wasn't like I was going to shoot you like that Dear Sister skit from Saturday Night Live or anything," I say.
"Alright!" Natsu says as we climb to the top of the ferris wheel. Why do we climb all the way to the top of a 40-foot ferris wheel? Because I'm an S.O.S. Brigadier who kicks logic out and does the impossible like Kamina.
When we get to the top, we are greeted with an amazing sight - A bitchin' view of downtown Chicago.
"Natsu... It's beautiful..." I comment. Then, the ferris wheel moves. "Shit! Shit, shit, shit!"
"Lucy, remember what they taught you in school - Keep calm and carry on!" Natsu yells I close my eyes.
"I don't wanna die... The odds are not in my favor... Winter is coming... The cake is a lie... I believe in you, BBC Sherlock Holmes... I like trains... Shorts are comfortable and easy to wear... Betty Crocker is the Batter Witch... Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived... Derpy is best pony... Bow ties are cool..." I mutter to myself to calm myself down.
"Lucy, jump!" Natsu yells. I open my eyes, and Natsu and I jump down to the ground and ninja-roll away from the ferris wheel. I then pimp-slap Natsu like a boss.
"You idiot! You didn't tell me that the ferris wheel was going to move!" I yell.
"Well, I'm sorry I care about pirate justice!" Natsu argues.
"Hey, guys!"
We turn our attention to Levy, Cana, and Jellal, who are guarding our flag.
"Come on, let's go own Gajeel's team!" Levy says. A few minutes later, all of us board our ship, soaking wet and tired.
"Man, that was pretty awesome," Levy commented.
"I know, right?" I add. I will always remember this night, since it was a simple, innocent time for pirates. But, I will never understand what capture the flag has to do with pirates.
Ending Note: Review if you want to see Lucy's mom!
