And now for today's chappy...
Gajeel growled as he and Erza attempted to bring all the plates over to the table that Lucy sat at. It was now almost six o'clock and he cringed at the thought of changing once again. At the five o'clock hour he ended up in a pink frog costume that reminded him of Froge, the exceed that belonged to Rouge. His embarrassment only rose when he was stuck making up a dance to 'Pop goes the weasel'. "Here," he said dropping several plates on the table before turning around to retrieve the rest.
"Now, now Gajeel! Remember service with a smile." Lucy called out chuckling.
The man in question glared while putting on a menacing grin.
"Lucy-san it's not necessary for Erza-san and Gajeel-san to have to get our plates as well." Wendy commented shyly.
"I personally don't mind. A bet is a bet. After all I like Lucy's choice in attire. It's quite flattering." Erza said while striking a pose and setting plates down. Leave it to Erza to think that a monkey costume was flattering. Given it was form fitting but still the woman looked ridiculous.
"Oi! Metal head don't forget my shaved ice." Grey yelled snickering. Looking to Lucy he said, "Who knew sitting with the flaming moron would pay off?"
"What was that ice prick?"
"You heard me!"
"Erza if you would?" Lucy sighed.
Bowing slightly Erza replied, "With pleasure." as she reached over and bashed both men on their heads.
"Luce! Don't be mean and sick Erza on me!" Natsu pouted while rubbing his sore spot.
"Then don't be an idiot. Eat your food and shut up." Noticing that the tables whole order was there Lucy smiled at Erza and Gajeel, "Guys sit with us! I ordered stuff for you too!"
Erza smiled taking a seat next to Wendy and Gajeel remained emotionless as he sat with Levi. They had pushed two of the long tables together earlier when the group grew. Now not only was the normal team seated together, but Wendy, Charla, Romeo, Juvia, and Levi had joined as well as Gajeel and Lily.
"Lucy-chan," Juvia called from across the table where she was seated next to Grey.
Lucy raised an eyebrow to the new honorific and use of her name. "Yes?"
"Juvia was wondering if Lucy-chan would like to accompany Juvia on a shopping trip tomorrow?"
Lucy almost choked on her food. Since when did Juvia ever want to do something so friendly with her? "Umm sure I'd love to!"
"Wonderful! Now that Juvia does not need to worry about Lucy-chan trying to steal Grey-sama, Juvia wants Lucy-chan to be Juvia's friend!"
That comment caused Lucy to blush deeply while Natsu smirked and everyone else except Grey laugh. Poor Grey had begun choking on his food. Seeing his face turning blue from lack of air Erza frowned and reached over Wendy slapping him on the back. As the obstruction cleared he wheezed out, "Thanks." To which Erza only nodded.
Happy turned to Lily and said, "Aye slave cut my food!"
Rubbing his temples Lily sighed, "Yes Master Happy."
"Now feed me slave."
"Yes Master Happy…"
The interaction caused more laughter at the table. When the time reached six a few minutes later Lucy looked to Gajeel who groaned as he got up with a bolt hanging out of his mouth. "Sit down and eat Gajeel. Just stay like that and pick back up at seven." She smiled taking a bit of her meal.
Gajeel looked at her like she was nuts but didn't argue as he plopped back down with a huff.
"I told you Lu-chan isn't that bad." Levi smiled.
Glaring he said, "You're not the one wearing this crazy shit and dancing."
"Yeh but she could have done worse. Natsu's been whining all day about things he wants her to make you and Er-chan do."
"Fuck Salamander." He grunted taking a drink. "Why the fuck doesn't the sword woman have to do this shit too?"
Levi chuckled, "Because Lu-chan doesn't want to die."
Picturing a pissed off Erza the man shivered and grunted his agreement.
"Oi, Natsu-nee?" Romeo said while elbowing said man to gain his attention.
"Wha uff?" Natsu said while ruffling the boys head with a mouth full of food.
Looking around to make sure no one was paying attention he asked, "Did you tell Lucy-nii about what we did this morning?"
Freaking out at the thought Lucy could have heard, Natsu rushed forward and clamped a hand over the boys mouth, "SHHHHH!" Looking wildly to make sure no one was listening he whispered, "Not yet. I still got to get something over there."
Romeo looked confused. He had been helping this morning and he saw the finished product. It looked done to him. "Uhh I know you haven't gone to see it yet but it's done."
Natsu shook his head negatively. "Nope not yet. Everything is still missing."
Frowning the boy retorted, "Well duh but we couldn't mo-"
Once again he was silenced by Natsu covering his mouth. "Not so loud!" Wincing as he realized he said that louder than intended he smiled nervously to Lucy. "Ignore us. It's umm… Guy talk!" Seeing her shrug and go back to talking to Juvia he let out a sigh of relief. "Look I know. I don't want everything there yet just a couple things. I'll get everything tomorrow, hopefully."
Pushing the man's hand away once more the boy huffed, "Well what do you want to do?"
Natsu thought it over formulating a plan. Grinning he leaned down and whispered in the boy's ear. This would be perfect he just had to trick Lucy into letting him 'borrow' her debtors once more.
A while later, after the 'servants' of the day cleared the dishes and retrieved re-fills for everyone, Gajeel once more felt like crying. Once again he found himself in heals, fishnets, and a speedo, however this time all he had for a top was tassels. TASSLES! His wig was some strange messy pigtails that were a deep blue and bright pink. He was also given fishnet, fingerless style gloves that reached his elbows. This was getting ridiculous.
Walking out on stage was a nightmare. As the music to 'Do your ears hang low' played and the cat calls bellowed Gajeel had had enough. Growling through the whole performance he wanted nothing more than to kill everyone out there and then hide in his hole of an apartment.
"Oi Gajeel shake it!"
"MY EYES! I'M BLIND!"
"Heh that's a good look lighting rod."
"Cosplay is manly!"
"Nothing about this is manly idiot!"
"I actually agree…"
"THAT IS IT!" Gajeel roared as he tackled Elfman and delivered a punch to a still screaming Grey. It only took a few minutes to have several of the men included in the dust up. A tangle of limbs and half assed insults the only thing that could be seen in front of the stage.
Lucy rolled her eyes at the sight of it all and sat enjoying some cake with everyone at the table minus the three currently fighting. Eventually Max had been tossed onto their table, strangely he had a broom sticking out of his ass, and caused their desert to go flying. This enraged Erza who jumped into the fray flinging men around in a furry.
As Natsu skidded to a stop at Lucy's feet she let out an, "EEPP!" of surprise. Looking down to the groaning man she frowned, "Idiot."
"Luce," he groaned crawling to the bench, "My head hurts." Was all he said as he dropped said head into her lap.
Ignoring the snickers and few cat calls, as best she could, from around the guild she sighed, "Well it wouldn't hurt if you hadn't joined into their stupidity." Seeing his pout she shook her head lifting him up, "Come on let's get you to the infirmary to get patched up." Turning to a now calm Erza she said, "Can you get us all some new cake and some fire pasta for Natsu, please."
Smiling slightly at the thought of cake Erza nodded and headed to the bar.
Lucy sighed once more as she placed a bandage over one of Natsu's cuts. "Gajeel's pretty mad huh?"
Snickering Natsu said, "Yeh he's pissed. But it's still funny!"
Lucy frowned at him feeling slightly guilty. "I think I'll let them off the hook for the rest of the day."
"AWW! But Lucy! There's like a bunch more hours left!"
"I know that but it's no good to have them mad. This was all in fun."
"Let me have them do one more thing first?"
She eyed him skeptically. "No way! You're going to make them do something embarrassing and I'm not dealing with the downfall."
"Come on! Just one last thing! I promise it's nothing bad! It's just… umm… an errand I need done!"
"You promise it's not bad or embarrassing for them?"
"Promise!"
"Fine. But if I find out yo-"
Delivering a quick kiss he cut her off. "Thanks Luce you're the bestest!" he cheered jumping off the bed and running out.
Blushing she watched him run off. She wasn't sure if she would ever get used to this over affectionate version of Natsu. Smiling she realized though she was going to enjoy finding out. Hearing shouts coming from the guild hall she groaned and walked out knowing she had to defuse the situation.
"I made a bet with Bunny Girl not your dumb ass!"
"But she said I could!"
"I don't give a fuck!"
"Gajeel I have no reason to believe Natsu is lying this time."
"Fuck that! I've been putting up with enough shit today! I'm not doing his bidding too!"
"Just shut up and do it! It'll take like ten minutes!"
"So does strangling you!"
"GUYS!" Lucy yelled as she approached the trio. Seeing their attention on her she rubbed her temples. "Look he promised it isn't anything bad. So just do whatever it is he asked of you." Seeing Gajeel ready to bitch once more she was quick to cut him off, "You can go in your normal clothes! So just get it done."
Natsu smirked, "See I told you she said so!" while sticking out his tongue childishly and throwing an arm over Lucy's shoulders.
"Watch it!"
"Agreed."
Both Gajeel and Erza threatened. After they had both changed into their normal clothing they headed out.
Natsu sat next to Lucy and pulled her closer, "You're the bestest!" he cheered again before tearing into his fire pasta that sat waiting for him.
"AYE!" Happy added as Lily set him on her head.
Lucy repressed a chuckle as poor Lily shrunk back to his smaller form and sat on the table. "He's still at it?" she asked the black exceed.
"Sadly my punishment will last as long as Gajeel's."
She smiled, "It won't be too much longer than." She was about to say more when Levi plopped down next to her, "Hi Levi-chan what's up?"
Levi blushed a bit and fidgeted. Seeing Lily she grabbed him and pulled him to her lap hugging the exceed in a way of calming herself. "Well, Lu-chan… I was wondering… That is if it's ok… If maybe I… umm… can have Gajeel do me a favor?"
An evil smile spread across Lucy's face, "What kind of favor?"
Levi flushed further, "N-not l-l-like that!" she denied. Puffing her cheeks she sighed, "I just need some book cases moved."
Lucy gave her friend a knowing smirk but simply replied, "Ok! No problem Levi-chan." Watching the woman sigh in relief and bound off to another part of the guild Lucy continued to smile. She had a new plan in mind for when her debtors got back.
