Hehehehehe.. soooo many idea's they are a flowing! But, if you don't review, my confidence goes down, and no confidence means no inspiration, no inspiration means no new chapter, no new chapter means very sad readers... you don't want to be sad, do you? Didn't think so.
The silence was cut short by Gray. "What do you mean, Gajeel?" He said. "Do you know Phantom?"
Gajeel was silent for a moment, mentally cursing his tongue for speaking. "Sort of," He said finally. "I used to work there part time. My job was sketchy, to say the least. Their whole business is shady. I'll just about bet that recruiter did more to convince her not to sign."
Gray nodded. "Yea," He agreed. "Insults everywhere. Although I did discover how Lucy lost her hearing." The pair infront of him perked. The blonde was always evasive as to her accident, this always struck everyone as odd, seeing as they usually held group sessions with Mira and discussed these things. Lucy had always evaded this part of sharing and Mira seemed to overlook this descrepincy, much to Erza's displeasure.
Gajeel took a nail from his pocket and began to nibble on the end, Levy quickly removing it and throwing it behind her. "Anyway," He said, returning to the previous topic, "You may want to get back to the Bunny Hunt. But if you can't find her, I can drive you to Phantom Headquarters."
Gray thought for a moment before running out the door, only to run back in again a little while later.
He threw something at Gajeel and headed back out the door, pausing to shout back, "Well come on, Mira's gunna notice I jacked her car keys any minute now."
Levy and Gajeel took no time to run out behind him and then out the front door.
Only to stop for a moment in awe.
"You expect me to drive up to Phantom Records in this?" The car was a pepto pink VW bug with silver curly-cues laced across the surface. Flowers lined the windsheilds and pink fur lined the rear-view. "Dude," Gajeel cried in disbelief. "The interior's bedazzled! Like legit bedazzled! With pink rhinestones, bedazzled."
Gray shivered. "The seats are animal print, animal print."
Levy sighed as they continued to rant on the pinkness and... girliness of it all, Levy snatched the keys and cranked the engine. Honking the horn she dragged them out of their... pink panic. "Are you going to rant on how girly the car is or are we going to get Lu-chan?" She signed.
Gray and Gajeel looked at each other for a moment before sliding into the backseat. "Why did you have to get Mira's keys again, Stripper Queen?" Gajeel moaned.
Gray groaned. "Don't remind me." He muttered darkly.
Gajeel laughed and soon he was giving Levy directions to Phantom Headquarters.
Just wait Lu-chan, Levy thought. We're on our way.
"Wrong again," Lucy chimed. "Do you expect me to shop retail? How am I supposed to have a tolerable wardrobe with such a small budget?"
Jose's smile tightened as once again a wadded paper ball bounced off his nose. This girl had been sitting there for almost three hours and never once had she not found something wrong with the new draft. "Yes," he said, his voice as tight as his face and clipped. "I see your point I'll let my lawyers know of your displeasure. The new one should be out soon. Any other issues, Lucy-chan?"
Lucy smirked internally, bad question. "Well," She all but sang. "Where's my unicorn clause. I thought I asked for a unicorn clause. And the limo I'm being offered has to feature a hot tub, wet bar, and flat screen. And why is there only one limo? You expect me to ride in the same limo every day? And the driver's name must be Maximillian Alexander Charles."
Jose's eyes were about to bug from his head. Unicorn clause? Who did this woman think she is? "I'm afraid the unicorn clause is nonnegotiable. There are no such things as u-"
"NO SUCH THING AS UNICORNS!?" Lucy jumped from her seat, slamming her hands down on the desk. "Oh, and I suppose Fairies and Mermaids don't exist either." Jose opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off once again.
"No! We're done. I refuse to work with anyone who says - no, even thinks - such blasphemy. I'm out," She twirled around and stomped towards the door. "Peace!"
She continued to storm out, not stopping for any of Jose's reconciliations. Only when the door was slammed in her face did she even acknowledge him. "I'm afraid," He said, "That you're silly antics have reached their end, Miss Lucy." He stepped from behind his desk, stalking his way to her.
"You will sign this contract, Unicorn Clause or no."
He grasped her upper arm in his hand roughly, dragging her back to the desk and forcing the blonde down to her seat. He held out a pen.
"Sign." His voice held a dark tone that said he meant business, but two could play at that game. Rising from her seat Lucy grabbed the pen and threw it as far over her shoulder as she could, never losing eye contact.
"I think not." She growled. "I don't sign anything. I have no interest what so ever in anything you have to offer me. In case you weren't aware I'm deaf, I can't even play properly anymore. Let alone write new pieces. I think it would be best for all of us if you just let me go now."
Jose chuckled. "Your condition has already been brought to my attention," He said smugly. "I'm surprised you aren't aware that Beethoven was deaf for the later part of his career. As for your playing I know you manage just fine. I've had my eyes on you for I time now, Miss Lucy, and I always get what I want."
Lucy's confident scowl deeped with rage. "I'm afraid that frame of mind won't last for long. You're not getting me, I'd rather die."
Jose glanced at the window, he really hoped it wouldn't come to that.
Levy slammed on the brakes, jostling Gray and Gajeel around to the point of cursing violently. "What the hell, Levy?" They shouted.
Levy sent them a look, automatically shutting them up, before pointing at the thing she had almost hit. There, running at what looked like top speed, was Natsu. He had tripped over something it seemed, and was seated at the edge of the road. Gray hopped out first.
"Hey, Natsu," he shouted, gaining the pinkette's attention. "What're you doing out here?"
Natsu looked up and smiled. "Oh good," He said. "I need a good pair of eyes. Mine suck if you didn't already know. Help me up Gray." Confused, Gray did as told and brought Natsu to his feet.
"Uh, Natsu. You didn't exactly answer my question. What the hell are you doing out here?"
Natsu looked slightly taken aback. "What do you think?" He said as though it was obvious. "I'm going to go get Lucy back. Same as you I suppose."
Gray chuckled. "Flame brain," He said. "You never cease to amaze me." Opening the door he threw Natsu in the back, forcing Gajeel to take residence in the passenger's seat..
"Be glad you can't see the car, Natsu." He said as Levy switched gear and tore away. "Why, Ice Princess?" Nastu asked, genuinely intrigued.
Levy sighed silently as Gray answered. "It's pink."
Natsu shivered.
"Like your hair."
"HEY!"
HAHA. Like your hair. Hehe. Anyways, yay! New chapter! Review! Review! REVIEW!
I'm watching She's Just Not That Into You. My inner nerd cringes whenever I see movie characters making complete fools of themselves. Like a nerd-pathy link. Hehe.
If you rip off my fanfiction, Jose will throw you out the window while you sleep. You've been warned...
