A/N: Thank you for your follows, and reviews so far. Hope you enjoy this next chapter!

Canna just smirked and replied, "Body shots my dear, Lucy, body shots!"

Lucy blanched and thought, 'Dear Mavis What have I gotten myself into.'

Now Lucy knew better than to outright refuse Cana in a direct challenge, because it would only lead to a worse more humiliating and compromising challenge that you could not worm your way out of. Cana had a gift of knowing exactly how to best make u squirm and had no shame in exploiting that. Lucy was as her friend had put almost a week ago a "smart girl", so it's not like she couldn't figure out what body shots entailed, but she wanted all the info before she blindly offered herself to the wolves per say. So hesitantly she asked, "So body shots eh? What exactly do I have to do?"

Bixlow's grin grew wider he wanted nothing more than to launch into a demonstration and forgo the explanation but as he reached for the lime Cana quickly swatted his had away. "Don't be so eager, this is on my dime so it's my rules." The brunette quipped before turning to her blonde friend, "See Lu essentially it's Just a tequila shot you remember those right?"

Cana took it upon herself to be the guilds alcohol sensei of sorts, it was her life's work to build up the tolerance of her guild mates, Fairy Tail had a reputation to uphold after all. She could hardly wait until Wendy and Romeo were just a little older so she could usher them in to the fold. So needless to say when the celestial mage had come to the guild not having so much as a wine cooler before, Cana quickly took the girl under her wing. Lucy did remember her first time with tequila shots, well taking them not so much what happened after, but seeing as she woke up in the parks fountain in her bra and panties the next morning she was kind of glad for her lack of memory, ignorance is bliss after all. After some time though her tolerance had grown and she knew where to draw the line before she made a fool out of herself. So with a raised eyebrow she started, "Yea Cana, I know you lick the salt take he shot and suck the lime, but what makes this different, that glint in your eye and the smirks on these two's faces tells me there is more to it than that."

"Perceptive as always Lu, ok so the difference is you lick the salt off of someone else instead of your hand and take the lime from their mouth, now there are six shots here because you and I are going to take one off each other, then the guys on us and then us on the guys. We will go first to get you use to it. Now there is a catch as there always is, and that is you can't repeat a body part, so if I take the salt of your neck, Bix is gonna have to find another place. You got it?" Cana explained waiting for her friend to process what she said she mentally counted to five until she saw the blush spread across the blondes face.

Lucy's face heated up, basically not only was she going to have to lick not one but two of her guild mates and have them lick her, well at least she wasn't going to have to lick the Quatro Puppy mage. Not to mention the almost kiss taking the lime, but she figured that was no less embarrassing then any of the pocky game catastrophe's Mira always ropes everyone into. "Really it's not just the fairy tail men that are huge pervs" she thought to herself. "Ok when you say Bix is going to find a place do you mean it's my choice or his?" Lucy asked with an eyebrow quirked at her friend.

"His choice, as it will be your choice on him, not that he is gonna have a problem with anywhere you decide to put your pretty little mouth, now that's all the Q&A for this Lu, are you gonna do it or not, now you know what happens if you refuse a drinking challenge on a night out with me?" Cana knew she already had her but her friend, but she was stalling, if this was the guild one of the Lucy's friends would already have intercepted the girl in honor of her innocence and some other nonsense. If you asked her she just thinks the boys on her team just want keep Lucy to themselves and don't want to see her do anything provocative unless it's behind closed doors with one of them, too bad neither of them had the balls to step up to the plate. The fact that Bickslow was here was super entertaining to the Card Mage, as she knew he would not let this opportunity slide, and was probably the perfect choice to get Lucy to loosen up, without pushing her too far out of her comfort zone. He was a perv sure, but he was not a creep.

Lucy was not going to take the punishment for not accepting the challenge, Fairy Tail punishment games whether or not they were from the Master or anyone else always spelled disaster. "No, No Cana I'm up for it but can you go first so I get the picture?"

Bacchus was glad he came out tonight, he always enjoyed the company of Cana, she was wild, and could almost keep up with him, and Lucy was hot as hell. He knew for sure Cana was going to show him a good time, and maybe if he played it right he could get both girls at the same time. But if not no big at least he could see some girl on girl play here.

Cana didn't delay any further, she took a lime and rubbed it on the column of Lucy's neck and then placed it between her teeth, took the salt and poured it on the slick spot from the lime. She knew this one was more for show than pleasure so she was going to give the boys a show alright. She grabbed her shot glass and moved to straddle Lucy on the stool. She put her hands in Lucy's hair and pulled back exposing her neck a little more, sticking out her tongue she slowly licked up the salt from her neck. She threw back her shot and landed her mouth right on Lucy's using her tongue to take the lime out of her mouth and into her own.

Lucy is use to Cana being brash and bold, but she was not expecting Cana's tongue in her mouth and her eyes went wide. "Did that count as my first kiss? Surely not right? Ahh is Bix going to do that too?"

While Lucy was mentally freaking out the boys were suffering from slight nose bleeds, but they were not the only men that were now taking notice. The Eve from the Trimen caught the show from the corner of his eye and was alerting his wing men of the Fairy beauties presence, Dan had also caught the little act and stood their gobsmaked. The scent of lime had a certain bulky blonde dragon slayer also paying attention to what his guild mates were up to and couldn't help but be entertained by the celestial mages expression.

"God Cana did you have to take the lime like that." The blonde spoke once her senses where back. Cana just shrugged, smirked and replied, "Well the audience was expecting a show." That is when both Bickslow and Lucy became aware of all the familiar and unfamiliar eyes on the group. Lucy's face paled she was going to have to do this again and do it to two people and now with so many eyes on her. Bickslow on the other hand was smug over the thought that these guys including his leader were going to be seething with jealousy once his turn came around. It is no secret that Lucy was one of the most sought out girls in Fiore, and the fact that she is usually so unapproachable just added to the allure. He was going to get to touch the girl in a way that others had only dreamed of, and perhaps no man ever had. Bragging rights alone were enough to give up a potential bed mate for the night. He chuckled and thought "Kind of sad Loke isn't gonna see this, that would be hilarious."

Lucy on the other hand wanted to crawl in a hole and die, but still the punishment would surely be worse so without another word she pulled up her big girl panties so to speak, took a lime and repeated the process Cana had just done on her neck as well. She did not linger with her tongue on Cana's throat nor did she take the lime in the same sexual way, but to the men it was still a feast for the eyes to see two lovely ladies in that position no matter how quick it may have been. She didn't have the time to register her surroundings to notice the incoming playboys to her left or the stalker to her right before Bickslow had. He had seen the pretty boys making their way over thankfully their troll of a leader not with them, because for as much weird that Bickslow could handle, Ichyia was certainly over that line. He knew they were persistent and dismissive of other males, unless a distinct claim was made, he was also aware of the seething stalker that just got out of his stupor. He had to act fast and make a grand statement to get them to back off. So before Lucy could even turn around on her own he scooped her up and laid her on the bar. He took her confused state as his chance to take the lime and run it on her exposed stomach and shake the salt and place the lime between her lips. He knew that Cana was thinking he was going for the cleavage, but he didn't want to fluster the girl too much but he did want her flustered. As he traced his tongue up from her belly button he locked eyes with her. Her brown eyes went wide for a moment and then rolled back in her head "holy fuck, cosplayer, that was hot!" he couldn't help but want to make her do that again in the future. He took his shot and took the lime, not like Cana did though, for some reason he thought if he was gonna get a kiss from the girl he wanted her to know it was coming.

The act had its desired effect, Dan sulked away, the Trimen decided upon looking for easier not attached prey and Laxus' and Freed both stood mouth agape. Cana broke Lucy out of her trance with a wolf whistle as Bacchus took his shot predictively from in between her cleavage.

What Bickslow had just done to her was the most erotic thing she had ever experienced and she had to suppress a moan as he licked the salt from her stomach. Hearing Cana whistle snapped her out of it as she took his hand and hopped off the bar. He face was flushed and she found it hard to make eye contact for a moment as she collected herself.

"Sorry to spring it on ya like that Cosplayer, but you had some incoming pretty boys and a stalker on your mark, had to think fast." The seith mage whispered into her ear.

Gaining her composer back Lucy just replied, "Oh I see um thanks, so I guess it's your turn, um where do you want it."

"Mavis, doesn't this girl know not to give a guy, especially one like me an option like that. It's like she wants me to say the most perverted thing I can think of." Thinking better of it he just replies with a smirk "That's your call sweetheart, Cana's rules remember."

"Right." She says with the lime in hand. She thought on it for a moment and decided that this was her vacation and she was going to be bold. Bickslow wasn't going to hold it against her, and Cana wasn't going to tell, they had a 'what happens out stays out' policy, and as for his team they weren't gossips anyway. She pushed him to sit on the bar stool, and put the lime in her mouth as she unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt. She bent down to put the lime on his sternum with it still in her mouth and then transferred it into his while she poured the salt. This time she took a page out of Cana's book and decided to straddle the boy while she slowly licked up his chest. She could see his Adam's apple bob as he gulped and she smirked into his chest at that reaction. She threw back the shot and took the lime while climbing off his lap.

This time he was the flustered one, he was sure she was just going to go for his throat or maybe even safer his hand, she had her pick. 'She really does have a wild side.' He mused to himself and was pleased that his earlier assumption was proving to be true. She wasn't just this doll that liked to dress up, she wasn't the little naïve girl that flame brain brought to the guild. She was a woman, a sexy one at that; and as inexperienced as she was, he could tell by the look on her face that she knew exactly what she had just done to him. 'If this is a game, I'm ready to play.'

Cana was speechless for the first time in probably forever, Lucy, Lucy Heartfillia had just completely come out of left field and left her dumbstruck. So dumbstruck that she forgot she had a shot to do and didn't even notice until a lime was shoved in her mouth that Bacchus had taken it upon himself to get a second taste of her. "Hey buddy that was my shot, you owe me a bottle now."

Bacchus just laughed and grinned, "You left it too long that's alcohol abuse, but sure thing babe name your poison." They each got a bottle from bartender along with another round of dinks for their companions.

"You're just full of surprises tonight aren't you Cosplayer," Bickslow said quite amused. Lucy shrugged with a small smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth and replied "I told you that we'd have fun tonight right, just living up to my end of the deal, seeing as you did scare Dan away with that stunt of yours."

"Right well now that we are sufficiently warmed up how about we head on out to the dance floor I want to see what other surprises you might have for me." Bickslow said with a bit of mirth in his tone.

"Ya I think I have enough liquid courage to go out there now," she then turned to Cana and continued, "You guys coming out to the floor?"

"Nah we are going to have a rematch for the games and I'm not gonna be bested twice!" Cana all but yelled the last part to her male companion who just laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever you say babe but the stakes gotta be higher this time, how bout if I win you and your little busty blonde spend the night with…." But before he could finish that statement said busty blonde cut him off by getting right up in his face with a finger jabbing his chest, dark aura oozing out, "Oh no you don't mister, I am not an object to be won, sold or bought, too many men have tried so in the past and it didn't turn out well for any of them, and as much faith as I have in Cana, she doesn't have the claim over me to bet that so whatever wager you make count me out."

Bickslow was about to punch the Drunken Falcon out for the insinuation, not only did it irritate him that he wanted not one but two of his guild mates yet again in a wager, but Lucy was his, at least for the night anyway. She was clearly his date despite the circumstances that got them to that point. But he forgot that this is Lucy and even though she needs the occasional save every now and then (who doesn't really), she was not the damsel in distress type. She was a Fairy Tail mage, a Fairy Tail woman at that and she could be just as fierce as Mira or Erza, given the right motivation. He should know he has been on the receiving end of her whip, and not in the way he would have liked. Speaking of said whip he saw the blonde's fingers twitch towards it, and if she went full on Scary Lucy right now they would surely be kicked out so instead he grabbed her wrist and twirled her to him and said, "Come on gorgeous he knows better, you're with me tonight, so keep that whip where it is, unless you want to use it latter on me." With that he winked at her and grinned when he saw a blush creep across her face.

"Well ok fine let's go, but no bets where I'm concerned you got it you drunks." She glared back at the drunken pair to have Cana reply this time, "No worries Lu, I might bet with my virtue but never yours, not that I have much left in the way of virtue anyway." She said with her eyes brows waggling at the end. With that the seith and celestial mage made their way to the dance floor, while Cana and Bacchus started their competition.

Bickslow caught site of Laxus and Freed on their way to the floor, no women around the two and the dragon slayer shot him a look that clearly read that he was unamused at the turn of events, in fact not a full second after he locked eyes with his friend did a thought projection make its way into his head. "This is not fair you get to lick salt off of Blondie while I have Mr. Stick up his ass scaring away all the potential skirts. Where is the justice in that Bix." Bickslow just shrugged and smiled at him while he led Lucy onto the floor.

Lucy noticed Laxus' eyes on them and his non to amused expression and had to stifle a giggle. 'Yup just as I thought Freed is a stick in the mud' she couldn't help but be glad she had chosen Bix for her savior tonight, she was having a lot of fun, clearly more fun than Laxus was having.

"What's got you giggling over there Cheerleader?" The blunette spoke above the music. The blonde replied, " Oh just thinking that I'm glad I came up to you to help me, I'm having a lot of fun, and by the look on Laxus' face I clearly chose the right man for the job."

Bickslow smiled at that, he was having fun too, and was glad she chose him, even if he didn't fully understand why. "Yeah Freed is a good guy, but when it comes to loosening up it's not his strong suit it seems that even Ever got bored, she must have went back to the hotel."

"Oh I'm sure she went back to the hotel but I doubt she is bored, I could have sworn I saw a rather bulky white haired manly man around here earlier" she said highly amused that those two where still going on as if no one was the wiser.

"Oh really now, she isn't going to live that one down" he replied as they got to a clearing and stopped, he pulled Lucy quickly toward him so she crashed into his chest and let out a cackle at the little "eep" she let out.

"Hey it's not that funny you caught me off guard is all, but I guess it's payback for all but jumping you when you walked through the door" Lucy said somewhat sheepishly as they began to move together in time with the music, as his hands slid down to her hips.

"Feel free to 'jump' me any time Cosplayer." He said suggestively into her ear sending a shiver through her that at their close proximity he definitely felt. 'So Cosplayer, I do have an affect on you huh, well isn't that interesting.'

'Damn Lucy, get it together, at first you almost moan on a bar and now with just words he is making your stomach flip, uggh he is just messing with you don't freeze up. In fact this is his game, and a game has two players, he isn't unaffected by you either.'

With that thought she decided she was going to go for another bold move, she turned around in his hold, and with the beat of the music, with no space between them she started to roll her hips, pressing her ass against him as she arched her back slightly.

Bickslow had to bite back a groan as she grinded her as into him, he didn't expect lil' Miss former heiress to dance so provocatively, he had only pulled her so close to get a reaction, but again she was proving to be full of surprises. He was trying to be good he really was, by keeping his hands still and in neutral territory on her hips. But with every grind of her hips he felt his grip tighten a little and then moving down slightly to her thighs and back again. He was really starting to think that his decision to help the girl out was one of the better ones in his life, because really when would he get this chance again. Then it occurred to him the first toast of the night. 'To our first date, and our future second date huh. Well since there is going to be a second date, no need to rush things tonight. No agenda just fun. I don't think I've had a night like this in a while, one with no end game, it's kind of nice. But if she keeps grinding up on me like that I'm going to pitch a tent, don't want to scare the girl off."

Begrudgingly with that thought he spun the girl back around and put a little bit, not much because he still really liked the way she felt against him, distance between them. Before the two of them had noticed they had danced the rest of the night away, laughing and enjoying each other's company. They went back to the bar at last call to find Cana but she surprisingly was already gone.

"I can't believe she just left without telling me." Lucy said a little put out. Bickslow could only guess that Cana lost the bet and was paying up so to speak. "Come on Cosplayer, I'll walk you back to your room." With that Lucy settled their tab and they left.

On the walk back they realized that they were staying in the same Inn. It was only a short ten minute walk from the club but it was breezy and Lucy was not wearing much, she hugged her arms to herself and visible shivered. Bickslow noticed and pulled the girl in under his arm. "You're being offtley gentlemanly tonight Bickslow." She teased, "What with walking me back and keeping me warm and all."

"Well what kind of date would I be if I let my girl walk alone and freeze huh?" he said in an amused tone.

'His girl huh, I like the sound of that, WAIT WHAT! Get a hold of yourself Lucy."

Shaking that thought out of her head they arrived to the inn. They take the elevator to the third floor and Bickslow walks Lucy to her room and prepares to say good night and ask about their next date, but before he can get it out they notice a note on the door.

Lucy,

Me and Bacchus are pretty busy so don't come in, unless you want to join that is, if not meet you for breakfest at 8:00am tomorrow before shopping.

Thanks,

Cana

"Eh join them? Join them doing what" Lucy wonders out loud tilting her head to the side right before she hears a loud moan followed by a grunt, and her face pales instantly. "Oh my… AHHH I would never join them what is wrong with them. Uggg now where am I going to sleep, why didn't they go back to his room?" she lets out an exasperated sigh.

"Well you wouldn't have the option to join in his room and I bet that is what that ass was counting on." Bickslow said a little irritated, normally he would find the situation funny if it was any other girl but this was Lucy. "But come on you can stay with me."

"What about your team won't they be pissed if I stay too." The thought of sharing a room with a man didn't bother her, in fact most nights her bed was occupied by either Natsu or Gray (don't tell Juvia, never tell Juvia), and she trusted Bickslow enough to not try anything, besides she had her keys and her whip, and she had already beat him twice if it came to that.

"We don't share rooms, remember our Jewels don't go to damages so we don't need to conserve as much, not to mention we usually go on S class missions with Laxus so the reward is high anyway." He replied.

Lucy rolled her eyes at the dis to her team, she knew it was true but he didn't have to point it out. "Well ok then lead the way."

"Just like that then, no complaints?" He raised an eyebrow, again he thought she was going to put up a struggle.

"I am use to sharing a room with my team so it's no big deal, and I trust you, If I didn't I wouldn't have asked you to help me out in the first place." She shrugged it off and they headed to his room. Bickslow felt oddly proud when she said that she trusted him, not many people did. In fact even though he knew the guild forgave them a while ago, he didn't think that the members really trusted them all that much. Forgiveness is one thing but trust takes a while to build, and what had he done to earn either from the girl that everyone in the guild considered its light. Whatever it was he sure as hell wasn't going to do anything to lose it now though.

"I'll take the couch, you can take the bed, did you want something to sleep in?" He asked as he opened the door to his suite.

"Um yeah that would be great, that way I won't have to summon Virgo, and that way you know who won't bust through and be his nosey pesky self. But really I can take the couch you have done a lot for me tonight, no need to give up your bed as well."

He laughed because he knew she was referring to Loke as he shuffled through his bag and got a tshirt and pair of gym shorts, while responding, "Here you go, they will be kind of big but you can roll the shorts and pull the draw string tight. And don't worry I'd rather you take the bed. You can change in the bathroom." She took the clothes muttered a small thanks and retreated to the restroom to change, while she was in there he stripped out of his own clothes and put on another pair of shorts that hung low on his hips. 'Figure she wouldn't appreciate me sleeping in the nude like I usually do.'

Lucy came out of the bathroom a couple of minutes later and almost froze in her tracks. She had seen Bickslow in swim trunks before but she never really paid much attention, usually being distracted by her team's antics. However, in the low light of the room she could really take in his form, and the delicious way those shorts hung so low on his hips. Her eyes traveled up his abs to his sculpted chest and broad shoulders. All the guys in Fairy Tail had amazing bodies, well except the older ones because, ew just ew, but where Natsu and Gray were lean and had a boyish charm, Bickslow was definitely a man. Her eyes continued to travel up, and they locked eyes, and it is at this moment she knows that he knows she was checking him out, if that smirk on his face is any indicator.

"See something you like eh, Cosplayer?" his tone light and amused, but she is still caught by his eyes, no glasses no visor to block them out, and like she thought before they are so captivating, which she guesses is fitting seeing as they can actually capture one's very soul. So the only answer she can give is a breathy, "Yeah, your eyes."

Once again she throws him for a loop, no one has ever said that to him about his eyes, they are all unnerved by them, The only reason he didn't wear his visor tonight, even if he has complete control of his magic, was because the club had anti magic runes so no one needed to be wary, even still he wore the shaded glasses to avoid the usual response. But here he was totally unshielded, and she didn't shy away, or spare a side glance, she looked him dead in the eyes and said she liked them. 'Still full of surprises'

Realizing that he had been dumbstrucked by her admittance and silent for the last minute he clears his throat with a cough and asks her what he set out to ask at her door step, "Um so, Cosplayer, I was wondering, we did toast to our future second date, so when would you like, I mean would you still want to do that?" 'Real smooth Bix a regular Casonova, you know over a hundred different ways to ask someone into your bed, and you can't think of a single one to ask someone on a date that doesn't leave you stammering like a school boy.' Lost in his mental argument he almost didn't catch her response, almost.

She beamed a large warm smile at him, like the ones she gives to Natsu or Gray on occasion, with her eyes bright and full of life and replies, "Sure I'd love to, as for when I'm here till Monday morning then heading home, are you heading home tomorrow? If not we could go out here tomorrow, you know away from the spies of our guild muttering nonsense about babies and what not. You know speaking of babies where are yours." 'Lucy stop rambling and breathe, first you ogle him, then you freak him out with that eye comment and now your rambling like a school girl, you are a grown woman.'

"The teams going back tomorrow, but I wouldn't mind staying another day, I don't need Mira breathing down my neck either. And as for my babies, their dolls are on the night stand, I have my magic cut off since I couldn't use it at the club anyway. But if you don't want me to bring them tomorrow I won't" he added the last part a little quietly, he knew his magic freaked people out, but it hurt that some people didn't accept the souls he views as family.

"No, I didn't mean it like that, I'm just not use to seeing you without them that's all, so I was wondering. I wouldn't ask you to leave them behind, just as I wouldn't leave my keys behind, they are family and you want them close." She reassured him.

'Did she really just say that, does she really understand and accept my magic, not creeped out by it at all?" Once again this girl surprised him. "Ok then tomorrow it is, I suppose you and Cana have day plans seeing as you are meeting for breakfast, so how about we meet up around five o'clock for our date, that way we can still meet her at the club if she wants to go again, which knowing her she will."

"That sounds great! It's a date! We should probably get some sleep though." She said as she walked over to the couch. He handed her a pillow and the comforter of the bed claiming he didn't need it. They said their good nights and turned off the lights, and he crawled into bed. Staring at the ceiling he couldn't believe he had a date with Lucy Heartfillia of all people. He was grinning like an idiot until the thought struck him.

'What the hell do you do on a date? Ughhh I'm going to have to talk to Ever about this.'
