This was suggested by TheLibraryWitch. And they even gave me a prompt. Lovely person. This was supposed to be posted as today's chapter an hour ago, but episode 220, aka THE ULTIMATE GRUVIA EPISODE, happened. And as a hardcore Gruvia shipper, I was required to wave my arms around and squeal for no less than thirty-seven minutes.
Takes place about a month after the GMG(Tartaros hadn't happened yet, right?)
"Yukino! Yukino!"
The white-haired teenager opened the door to her apartment to see none other than her fellow Celestial Spirit Mage.
"You know how they FINALLY decided to put a shopping center in Magnolia! Well, it's open! And I was going to go, and I thought you might like to come!"
Yukino was happily surprised. She didn't go shopping often (a result of not caring about clothes much), and Sabertooth didn't have that many female mages for her to go with. So this was a welcome adventure.
"I'd love to! Just let me grab my purse….."
LATER….
"Wow! There's so many stores!"
"Hey, look! Sorcerer Weekly opened an office! Maybe I can apply to be a model! Rent money….."
"Lucy, calm down!
"Ooooh, my favorite lingerie store has a place….."
"L-l-l-lingerie!?"
Lucy dragged the blushing mage into the store, and was promptly greeted by her red-haired teammate, who twisted around incredibly fast and grabbed her shoulders.
"Lucy! Oh, good! I can't decide what to get! Oh, Yukino's here too! She can help!"
"B-b-but Erz-AH!"
The shriek was caused by Erza beginning to wave lacy undergarments in Lucy's face.
"I can't decide! Red or pink! No, that's too revealing! That's too small! That's too big! I can't decide on ANYTHING! I need cake. Cake. Cake. CAKE. AHHHHHH!"
And with that, Erza ran out of the store, arms flailing and emitting a high-pitched alarm-like sound. Lucy and Yukino simply sat there, stunned. For several minutes.
"Let's…...leave."
"Yeah."
AT ANOTHER STORE
"Hey, these jackets are cute!"
"I like the one with the angel on it."
"You should get it. We're here to shop, after all! Huh?"
Lucy turned, just in time to pull both herself and Yukino out of the way of a terrified-looking Grey.
"Lucy! Yukino! You gotta help me! There's this cafe that's doing a Valentine's Day couples special for tomorrow, and Juvi-AHHHHH!"
He was cut off by a blur of blue tackling him.
"Love-Rival is attempting to make Grey-sama go with her to the Valentine's Day couples special, using her seduction tactics! Don't worry, Grey-sama! JUVIA WILL PROTECT YOU! WATER NEBULA!"
She managed to not only hit Lucy, but Yukino, six customers, several store racks and
"Oh no…."
The store manager.
They all ended up banned from the store. Forever.
"JUVIA!"
"I wanted that jacket!"
"You scared away Grey-sama! Waaahhh!"
"STOP! You're going to flood the place!"
SEVERAL YARDS AWAY FROM THAT PARTICULAR STORE
"Hey, a karaoke bar! Want to go in, Lucy?"
"Why not?"
Suddenly both of their faces went white.
"I know why not-"
"Me too-"
They looked at each other, with horrified faces and said, in unison,
"Gajeel and Orga."
And then they ran. Far, far away.
SEVERAL MILES AWAY FROM THAT PARTICULAR STRETCH OF STORES
Lucy and Yukino were innocently looking at shoes when suddenly….
"Lucy?" Yukino whispered.
"Yes?"
"Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"
Lucy looked over. Yep. There it was. Spiky pink hair, nearly identical blonde hair, blue ears, red ears. What did she honestly expect?
"What do you want to bet they're planning on ruining our shopping trip?" Yukino murmured.
"It's already ruined. Let's bust them up!" Lucy replied, grinning wickedly.
Natsu and Sting had met up (both suspiciously near the two Celestial Wizards) and were "casually" hiding in bushes while watching them and getting teased mercilessly by Happy and Lector, who seemed to have picked up a few things.
"You loooovvvveee hee- EEEEEKKKK!"
The blue Exceed was cut off by a whip snatching him around the wrist and throwing him into the side of a building with a resounding crash. Natsu and Sting both gulped, as they looked up and saw the two very angry looking females.
"You two wouldn't have been planning to interrupt our shopping trip, would you now?" asked Lucy in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"I certainly hope not," came Yukino's voice, made even more terrifying by the fact that Yukino was rarely angry.
"U-um of c-c-course not! We weren't planning anything really we weren't we promise you don't kill us!"
The two girls looked at each other.
"WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"
And that was how Fairy Tail's strongest Dragonslayer and the Guild Master of Sabertooth ended up getting flung through several walls before Pisces stabbed them for "interrupting Mama's free time" and Loke punched them for "being rude to two lovely ladies".
From inside the nearby store's shadow, Rogue smirked. Becoming an evil world dominator may have been a downside, but being the Shadow Dragonslayer had its merits. Frosch simply played with the butterflies.
Rogue was also smart enough not to hang around Sting and Natsu while they were spying on people. Blonde and pink hair is NOT that hard to spot. And quite honestly, no one was going to bother Frosch.
Review, recommend, etc, etc. Sayonara!
