Lucy's POV
What is trash like you doing here?
I stiffened and turned around. There in front of the Sabertooth guild stood Minerva. She didn't look pleased at all.
"We were just passing by" I heard Rogue answer calmly. I guess he isn't as scared of her as me and Yukino are.
"What are you doing with weak fairy trash?" she demanded while glaring at me. I was now officially scared.
"We joined Fairy tail, not that it's any of your concern. We'll be going now" and with that he turned around and I followed suit. I wasn't too comfortable with turning my back on Minerva though.
"Hold it right there" I felt a death like grip on my shoulder. It was really painful because she was squeezing right on my pressure point.
"Let her go" Rogue looked absolutely terrifying but Minerva just smirked.
"Oh, what's this? The emotionless Rogue likes someone" she sneered.
"Let her go you bitch" I heard a voice. I saw Erza. What in the world was she doing here?
"Hmph" Minerva let me go, I'm sure I have a bruise now, "Always have someone to come to your rescue" she then turned and left. Yukino was currently trying to restrain Erza who looked absolutely livid.
"Are you ok?" Rogue looked worried. I smiled at him.
"I'm fine, my shoulder is just really sore, I might get a bruise" I told him.
"Yukino let me go, she must be punished for bruising Lucy" Erza was still trying to get free of Yukino who had called Libra to help restrain the angry red head.
"Erza, it's okay, I'm fine but what are you doing here?" I asked. She immediately calmed down. Yukino looked exhausted.
"A new cake shop opened here and as soon as I heard I rushed over to assess their cake" she told me. I sweat dropped. She rushed two to three towns over in the middle of the night for cake? Wait why am I surprised?
"Why are you here though? Sting was having a drinking competition with Natsu when I left, unfortunately the cake shop is closed so I'm going to stay at an inn, you will join me, it's far too late to travel back" she ordered. We all nodded, no one disobeyed Erza.
"So Yukino, what are you doing here?" she asked her. Yukino started to explain the whole situation to her and by the end of it we were at an inn and quite exhausted.
"Alright" Erza got our attention "Yukino will sleep in a room with Lucy and I will sleep in a room with Rogue. Since you two are dating I will not allow for you to sleep in the same room. No complaints!" she ordered. And as I've said, no one argues with Erza.
We got two rooms with two beds each. We said good night to each other and immediately fell asleep.
When I woke up it was ten o'clock. Well I guess we all went to bed past midnight so it's understandable. I looked over at the next bed and saw that Yukino was still fast asleep. When I tried to get up I noticed that Frosch was on me. When did he get here? I'm sure he wasn't there when I fell asleep. I gently moved him and put him on my pillow and headed towards the shower.
I scrubbed my hair and got out of the shower. I exited the bathroom with my towel and headed over to my bag and got dressed. I then walked over to Yukino and shook her awake.
"No, I don't care" she mumbled.
"Yukino wake up or Erza will probably wake you up" upon saying this she woke up and ran to the bathroom shouting good morning.
I went over to Erza and Rogue's room with Frosch and knocked on the door. When no one answered I opened the door with the spare key that I was given. Erza was still sleeping and was chewing her hair and Rogue was sleeping on his side.
"Erza, wake up, it's past ten, don't you want to go get cake?" she shot up at the mention of cake.
"Good morning Lucy, I shall go get ready and then we shall go have cake for breakfast" she then went to shower.
"Cake for breakfast doesn't sound very healthy. I wonder what Capricorn would say?" I mumbled.
I walked up to Rogue and tried to shake him awake but Rogue was not a morning person.
"Rogue wake up" I kept saying. This was getting annoying. I bent down to his ear.
"ROGUE WAKE UP!" I shouted. He shot up and so did Frosch. I felt bad about waking Frosch up but at least Rogue was awake now and I was stifling my giggles.
"Why'd you have to scream in my ear? There are nicer ways to wake people up" he accused me.
"I tried but they didn't work and I was getting annoyed" I explained.
"Good morning Rogue" Frosch said walking up to him.
"Frosch, how did you get in my bed last night?" I asked the cute exceed.
"I let him in Lucy-sama" Yukino came in from behind me "he came after you fell asleep"
"Oh well then never mind" I turned to Rogue who was falling asleep "Don't you dare fall asleep. Go get ready"
At the cake store
When we arrived at the cake store I sat next to Yukino and we were talking about the new keys I got while playing with Plue who was eating some candy that Erza gave him.
"I don't know how healthy cake is for breakfast" Yukino told me and I nodded in agreement but Erza didn't seem to mind, she probably had cake for breakfast daily and possibly for dinner too.
Erza ordered strawberry and Yukino ordered chocolate. I ordered fudge and so did Rogue. Virgo then popped up.
"Hime, Capricorn is concerned that you are not eating healthy. He suggests that you have a light lunch and dinner and summon him for training sometime today or tomorrow" and with that she disappeared. I groaned.
"What was that about?" Yukino asked.
"Capricorn keeps telling me that I need to go on a diet and Happy keeps telling me that I'm heavy, but it's actually my chest. Gray knows that and Erza understands" I told her with a sigh. I'm tired of everyone telling me that I'm heavy. After Happy told me that I'm heavy the first time I trained day after day to try and lose weight but then nothing changed.
"Why does Gray know?" Rogue enquired. Erza laughed as did I.
"Is Rogue jealous?" Yukino teased "And what's so funny?"
"Don't worry Rogue, the reason that he knows is because there was an incident where Natsu read some incantation out loud and we all switched bodies. Gray and I switched, Natsu and Loke, and Erza and Happy. Gray kept complaining about how his chest was too heavy and that his back was too. He then kept trying to strip, but I got him to stop" I explained remembering the panic.
"Oh, how did you get it undone?" Yukino asked.
"We made Natsu read the incantation over and over until we were back to normal, it took a while" Erza explained. She was laughing at the memory until her cake came and she immediately sat upright and grabbed a fork.
I watched in amusement as her eyes sparkled and she slowly took the tip of the cake on her fork and raised it she then proceeded to eat the bite and sat there in complete bliss with a happy and peaceful look on her face. The fork was still in her mouth, I supressed a giggle at my friends antics.
"Lucy if you don't eat your cake Frosch will steal it and he's not allowed fudge" I heard Rogue inform me. I looked at Frosch who was staring at my cake while drooling.
"Why isn't he allowed fudge?" I asked. Frosch had gone to ask Yukino for a bite of her cake.
"I don't know why it only happens with fudge but he gets really hyper and then gets sick" he explained.
Frosch had successfully convinced Yukino to give him some cake and was now happily munching on the piece that he was given.
We all ate our cakes with me telling Yukino and Rogue about all the instances when Natsu and Gray smashed Erza's cake. When we finished we headed to the train station which Rogue was not too happy about but he didn't complain.
When we arrived in Magnolia I we all went to put our bags down and headed to the guild.
"You didn't tell me that Rogue and Sting were staying with you" Yukino accused me.
"It didn't come up" I defended myself. Sting and Rogue had been looking for a place to stay but there were none close enough. The only places available were in the next town over and that meant that they would have to take the train everyday which Sting simply refused to do.
We opened the doors to find everyone fighting, mainly Sting and Natsu. Gray was trying to get Juvia off of him and was failing miserably as usual. He looked a bit soaked.
"There you are Lucy! Master and Natsu were worried about you. Gray was too busy avoiding a certain water mage. And what's that bruise?" I heard Mira inform me.
"Oh I didn't mean to worry them! I'll go and explain to master right away!" I scurried away before she could question me further.
Sorry for the wait! I'm trying to make my chapters longer. I wanted to make this chapter 2000 words but felt you guys had waited long enough! I will try update trickery next week. I'm only on 600-700 word which is unacceptable!
Thank you for reading!
