HELLO EVERYBODY! :D I wanted to update this daily, but I didn't update yesterday so I felt guilty. I skipped out on studying just to do this today... hope I don't fail tomorrow's tests though :C BUT ANYWAYS, I AM GLAD I WROTE THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE I FINALLY... okay, I can't say. Read to find out hehe ^^

"Gate of the Wishmaker, I summon thee! Twinkle!"
"Lucy!" Twinkle appeared and giggled. "What can I do for you?"
"I have a request." Lucy glanced around nervously; she knew Natsu could be on his way over at that moment.
"A request?" Twinkle looked at Lucy, confused.
"Yes," Lucy said hurriedly. "Bring us somewhere secluded, private; somewhere that Natsu will never look."
"I suppose that wouldn't have to be counted as a wish." Twinkle murmured in thought.
Lucy's eyes widened at the sound of footsteps outside her house. "Hurry, Twinkle!"
Twinkle looked at Lucy with her glittering amber eyes and said, "Request granted!"
Blinding light emitted from Twinkle's star costume and took over the room. Lucy shielded her eyes from the light and she heard a metallic chime as she and Twinkle teleported away.
"Teleportation complete!" Twinkle clapped her hands together.
Lucy heaved a huge sigh of relief. That was close, she thought. She took a look at her surroundings. Hold on...
"THIS IS NATSU'S HOUSE!" She shrieked. Lucy grabbed Twinkle by the arms and started shaking her. "TWINKLE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
Tears flowed out of Twinkle's eyes like waterfalls. "Sorry, Lucy! Sorry, sorry, sorry! He'll never check his house for you though!"
Lucy stopped to consider what Twinkle said for a moment. Twinkle had spirals for eyes, clearly dizzy and disheveled from being shook. "You may have a point." Lucy said finally. "Well," She put her hand at the back of her head and gave Twinkle an apologetic smile, "Thank you!"
Twinkle had the you-realize-this-now look on her face and shook her head.
Lucy laughed awkwardly and asked, "How can I make a wish?"
"It's simple! You just say: 'I wish for… whatever it is you want to wish for' and then I grant your wish!" Twinkle chirped and then she had a serious look on her face before asking, "Why were you running from Natsu?"
"H-He was just being weird." Lucy replied hesitantly.
"Oh," Twinkle was deep in thought. "So did you want to make a wish?"
"I don't know… Should I?" Lucy looked at Twinkle sheepishly.
"You totally should!" Twinkle smiled. "You'll still have twenty-nine wishes afterwards."
Lucy thought of Natsu for a second. She reddened as she started to think about what had just happened ten minutes before. Natsu and her? On a date? She smiled at the ridiculousness of the thought. They were just friends, best friends, nothing more and nothing less. The things Mira and Levy say, Lucy thought to herself. Can just be absolutely absurd sometimes. They should just go play matchmaker with somebody else. Lucy's eyes widened. That's it!
"I know what I want to wish for!" Lucy smiled at the celestial spirit, placing her hands on her hips.
"Allow me to explain something to you first," Twinkle put her hands together. "Wishes can be really fun and all, but there are lots of risks that come with it. For starters, you have to word your wishes very carefully or else they can get twisted around and the results will be disastrous!"
"Is that it?" Lucy said a bit impatiently.
"No, there's more," Twinkle continued. "The second thing is that wishes are irreversible. Whatever you wish for is permanent unless there happens to be a loophole."
"Loophole?"
"Yeah, a loophole would be a way of getting rid of what you wished for without wishing for it to be destroyed. Get it?"
Lucy nodded.
"Third of all, you can wish for anything except for what is written in this book." Twinkle made a book appear out of thin air and threw it to Lucy. "Basically, you can't wish for things like… a million jewel or world domination."
Lucy scoffed. Like she would wish for things like that, but the million jewels would be helpful to have so she could pay her rent and go shopping. She gave the book back to Twinkle and promised to read it later. "I would like to make my wish now!"
"Go ahead!" Twinkle smiled, ready to do some wish granting. Then she added, "It may take a while for the wish to come into effect by the way."
Lucy nodded. She took a deep breath for dramatic effect and said, "I wish that Mirajane Strauss and Levy McGarden would go match make somebody else so that they would leave me alone about my love life for a while."
"Wish granted!" Twinkle formed a "V" with her left hand and placed it over her left eye. Her costume started to glow a blinding light again, making the entire room look pure white.
As the light faded, Lucy heard two voices.
"I wonder what happened to her?"
"She probably went to go buy food for us!"
"Hahaha, she probably did!"
Lucy slapped her forehead at the stupidity of the voices. Voices? Voices! Lucy jumped under Natsu's couch and did a forced closure on Twinkle. Natsu and Happy are home, Lucy thought. This is bad. Really, really, really bad. I have to get out of here somehow.
The doorknob turned and the door slid open. Lucy saw Natsu's feet entering the door and pausing.
"Eh?" Lucy heard Natsu sniffing. "Happy, is it just me or is Lucy's scent really strong in here?"
"I think so, Natshu." Happy said while flying around the room.
Lucy knew she had to stay quiet but the dust under the couch didn't do her any good, because she sneezed.
"Did you hear that, Happy?" Natsu started walking around. Lucy sniffled. God, how she hated dust right now. Natsu walked over to the couch and Lucy swore she felt her heart stop. "I think it came from under the couch!"
Lucy tensed. She was so scared that she forgot to breathe, until she felt something squeeze her behind. "AHHH!" She shrieked and reflexively, she let her leg go free and kick the assaulter. She pulled herself out from under the couch and raised her hands in a defensive pose. "What was that for?!"
Natsu grimaced at his new bruise and turned his attention to Lucy. "Oi Lucy! You were in my house this WHOLE time?! Me and Happy were looking everywhere for you!"
Lucy let go of her defensive stance and rolled her eyes, forgetting what had previously happened at the guild. "Yeah, I was."
"Happy and I were in front of your house and we saw this white light shining out of your windows for a second so we went to investigate! We went through your window and searched the house, but no one was there. We thought something terrible happened to you." Natsu was making hand gestures while he talked.
"Oh," Lucy blushed. She made him worry? But her blush quickly faded away when she realized what Natsu had just said. "My window was locked."
"Was it?" Natsu scratched his head in thought and shrugged. "I didn't notice."
"Y-YOU BROKE MY WINDOW!?" Lucy stammered in disbelief.
"Um, maybe?" Natsu replied, a little scared of the dark aura Lucy was emitting.
"YOU IDIOT!" Lucy jumped at Natsu to give him some payback. She pulled his hair, poked his sides, whacked at the back of his head over and over, and pinned him down so she could slap his face repetitively. "Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Ba-"
Natsu caught her hand. "Ka?" Lucy finished, startled by Natsu's sudden action.
He slowly sat up, still gripping Lucy's wrist. He moved his face near Lucy's, stared into her eyes and said, "You girls didn't say 'gnat glue'."
Lucy jerked back at the unexpected sentence. He knows what they really said, Lucy gulped. She tried to think of a comeback but no words could form. "Uh - um…"
Suddenly, a loud banging noise was heard. Lucy and Natsu's attention went right to the door. Another bang and it flew open.
Lucy's jaw dropped as two figures stood at the doorway. No way, she thought. It can't be.
Lucy's wish had brought two people to Earthland; two people who will have to endure Mira and Levy's match making fantasies:
The Lucy and Natsu from Edolas.
