"Hi Lucy!" Mirajane sang into the phone peeking the interest of two others by the bar where she stood wiping off the counter.
"Hi Mira." The blonde responded."How have you been?"
"Just working to no end." The older woman responded. "And how have you been lately? School going alright? Work okay?"
"I'm doing alright all around though I might be struggling a bit in science." The girl on the other end said amused. " But I do need your help with something."
"What do you need?"
"I-I uh told my b-boyfriend that I would cook for him tonight." Lucy began to whisper stuttering at first. "I cooked for him before it was something my mom showed me. But I really wanna impress him this time."
"Oh I see what you mean." Mira giggled. She saw Gray and her sister Lisanna taking a seat in front of her. Lisanna whispered 'Who's that?' and Gray mouthing 'That her?'. She said nothing in response to them as she continued to talk into the phone. "But why are you whispering?"
"I'm in his bathroom and I don't want him to hear." Lucy whispered again shifting a bit.
"Oh I see. Well in my experience in feeding hungry men, they love meat but hate anything health for the life of them. I know this one recipe that's a killer." The white hair woman beamed in happiness making the two people around her roll their eyes at the comment. "I can message you the recipe if you like?"
"Please do. I really want to do something nice for him."
"Alrightie then I will."
"Thank you so much Mira! I'll tell you how it goes later." Was all Lucy said as she hung up the phone. Mirajane nodded to herself pulling the phone away from her ear then swiping and typed on her phone after messaging the mentioned recipe.
"So you really are chummy with her aren't you?" Gray asked with a small smile.
"Yup. She's such a sweet heart. No wonder little Natsu likes her." She gushed.
"Natsu has a girlfriend?" Lisanna asked meekly hearing this all for the first time but not letting her face expression change a bit.
"Yeah. Oddly enough when I met her for the first time we made some kind of bond, but I'm guessing it was a bit awkward because of me." The long hair woman said looking up at them away from her phone.
"Can't believe flamebrain is okay with that." Gray chuckled.
"Hmp, he's okay with it because I can look after Lucy." Mira said in a 'matter-of-fact' voice. She grinned in triumph but it soon deflated when Gray rolled his eyes. "Don't look at me like that!"
Mirajane tossed her rag in the male's face making him back away.
"Fine. Tell Lucy to keep him away from here. I don't need a headache!" Gray laughed tossing the rag back then walking away telling himself out loud how whipped the pinkette is.
"Alrightie. We better get to work on lunch Lisanna." Mirajane said to her younger sister pumping her hand in the air in a silly fashion. She laughed a bit when her sister nodded her head with a fake smile adoring her face.
