"I heard that you walked into your language arts class with your cheeks the same color as your hair," Lucy caught up to Erza after school. "What happened? Was it Jellalllllll?"

"Jellal's that kid with the blue hair and the birthmark on his right eye, right?" Levy asked Lucy, having been dragged along.

"When did blue hair become an inheritable trait?" Natsu asked, sneaking up on the three girls.

"Yeah, that's Jellal," Lucy ignored Natsu's stupid question and answered Levy's question.

"You have a crush on Jellal, Erza?" Levy then asked Erza.

"No!" Erza denied, beginning to blush.

"See?" Lucy turned back to Levy. "She does have a crush."

"I do not!' Erza argued.

"So what happened?" Levy asked.

"I was just talked to Jellal, that's it," Erza answered.

"And did he make you swoon?" Lucy then asked.

"No," Erza admitted. "I snuck up on him and he dropped his history textbook on his foot."

"Ouch," Lucy and Levy cringed at the though of dropping their heaviest textbook onto their foot.

"Blue hair isn't a natural color," Natsu thought out loud.

"Yeah, well neither is pink hair," Levy countered Natsu's thought.

"True," Natsu continued to think, not paying attention to the conversation.

"So then what happened?" Lucy pestered.

"We just caught up," Erza continued. "He apparently got kicked out of Tower of Heaven as well, and he apologized for getting me kicked out. We then agreed that we both should hang out like we used too."

"So, a date?" Levy asked.

"No! Nothing like that," Erza argued.

"But you have a crush on him," Lucy pointed out. "And he has a crush on you."

"And you'll be hanging out together," Levy added.

"Let's leave the subject alone," Erza stated trying not to blush.

"Okay," Lucy agreed. "But hey, are you going to Laxus's party this weekend?"

"You got invited?" Erza asked Lucy.

"Natsu bugged Laxus until he invited us," Lucy explained.

"Yeah! He said that I could bring whoever I want!" Natsu entered the conversation, now that it was something that it was interesting to him.

"He also said not to invite the whole school," Lucy added.

"Yeah, but, I didn't invite Gray so that means that he won't be there!" Natsu exclaimed, happy with his little victory.

"I think Juvia invited Gray," Levy mentioned to Natsu.

"Wha?" Natsu asked, as if someone else inviting Gray never occurred to him. "Then I'll just take back that invite!"

"It's not your invite," Lucy added. "Or your party."

"Whatever! I'll just kick his ass instead!" Natsu proclaimed.

"And I'll be there to stop you," Erza reminded Natsu as the four came across the intersection where they would part.

"Bye Erza! See you tomorrow!" Lucy bid goodbye to Erza as she turned right down the street with Levy and Natsu, the other two just waving goodbye.
