Another morning, and we are all at the greenhouse. Everyone was enjoying the peaceful morning as Mirajane explained what she had made for us to eat.
"Today's afternoon tea will be Assam milk tea with freshly baked bagel and-"
"It's about time, I have been waiting for this!" Gray shouted jumping towards the tea cart.
"Wash your hands!" Erza shouted as she smacked him with a baseball bat and sent him flying like he was the baseball and she had just made a home-run.
No one knows where she got the bat from though. After Erza finished punishing Gray she turned around and noticed that Lucy and Natsu were not present.
"Huh, where is Lucy?" She asked.
"Lucy and Natsu have gone to represent Fairy Tail for that appointment." Levy stated.
The appointment was for the Fairy Tail and student council academy founding anniversary reception party. They meet up together and plan out the party.
"She went there?" Mirajane questioned.
"Yeah, of course she is the second highest student in the school. Only the top two go so of course she would be there and besides she seemed really excited since it's like a festival." Gray explained with crumbs all over his face.
"But it's a little worrisome, wouldn't you say?" Levy exclaimed.
Of course it is, we just had a showdown with the student council and now they are at a party together." Erza said.
"It can't be helped though. It's a tradition that Fairy Tail work with the student council for the founding party" Gray confirmed.
"I wish we could do something about this though. I don't like the idea of Lucy hanging around them. They always seem like they are up to something." Erza stated.
"I bet Natsu is in a bad mood right about now," Gajeel chimed in.
"Why is that?" Gray asked.
"Because it's obvious he doesn't like the student council president." Levy giggled.
"Really?" Gray questioned.
"What you never noticed?" Mirajane wondered.
"Even so, Lucy seems to like the student council president for some reason and it's been really irritating Natsu." Levy added.
~At the meeting~
Natsu was typing away angrily on his laptop as the president sat looking bored and the girls were starting to sweat. His deadly aura was making them nervous.
"Hey since it's a festival, how does some food stands sound?" I asked ignoring Natsu's bad attitude.
"That's fine." Jellal stated while nodding at me.
I rose my hand and shook Jellal's in agreement. Natsu's aura multiplied in size, making Meredy and Ultear back away from him. I just kept ignoring him.
"So what kind of stands should we have?" Jellal asked me.
As of right now we were carrying on an entire conversation without including Natsu, Meredy or Ultear.
"How about cotton candy?" Jellal suggested.
"Great idea, I love cotton candy!" I said in return.
"I object to cotton candy." Natsu cut in.
Everyone turned to his direction a little surprised that he spoke.
"Huh?" I coughed out.
"There a great deal of things better than cotton candy." Natsu commented.
"Well that may be true but-"
"The concept of a cotton candy stand isn't well thought out, it's borderline irresponsible.
"Oh really, well then how about a contest to decide whether a party would be better with or without cotton candy." Jellal said.
"Hey wait-" I tried to stop them but it didn't work.
"Lucy, shall we teach the finer points of cotton candy to this man who doesn't understand its merit?" Jellal asked walking over to me and placing his hands upon my shoulders.
He had a smirk on his face as he watched Natsu's reaction. The next thing I knew was that Jellal was hit upside the head with something blue. I couldn't see what it was since it moved so fast. He now had a red mark on his forehead. I looked over to see that it was Natsu who has thrown it.
"Jellal-sama!" Meredy and Ultear shouted together.
"Very well, lets have the contest then." Natsu said while grabbing his laptop then walking out.
"Natsu," I called as he opened the door.
I could hear in the background as the girls were gushing over the sore spot on Jellal's head but he ignored it.
"Don't tell me," I said just realizing something.
I ran out after him and called his name when I found him down the hall some.
"Wait Natsu!" I shouted but he just kept walking. "Natsu, I understand."
He stopped in his tracks but did not turn to face me.
"You've been moody all this time, am I right?"
"Not really," He answered.
"No it's true. Your moody whenever I talk to the president, right? I'm sorry for not noticing, I should have noticed your feelings earlier."
He was now facing me and he looked upset yet surprised. I looked into his eyes and gave him a smile. He smiled in return and I was happy that I could talk to him like this.
"Lucy,"
"You dislike me teaming up with the president right?" I couldn't believe I never noticed it before but it was so obvious.
"Huh?" Natsu said while the smile disappeared from his face.
"It's really unfair for me to team up with him to challenge you, right? Don't worry though, I wouldn't do such a thing." I assured him.
His head lowered and suddenly a maniacal laugh came from him. I cocked my head to the side wondering what was up with him.
"What is it? What's the matter?" I asked getting weirded out.
"Very well then, if miss rank two can defeat me by teaming up with that loser dog then go ahead."
Lightening striked as anger began to boil inside me.
"What did you say?!" I shouted clenching my fist in front of me.
"While your at it, get as many helpers as you need. It's futile anyway.'
"If your willing to go that far then I challenge you!'
~At the greenhouse~
"Lucy teamed up with the president?" Erza asked a little surprised.
"And to challenge Fairy Tail at that, what is she thinking?" Gray said.
"She didn't like the idea of a two on one so now it's a team competition." Natsu stated.
"That's not what I was asking," Gray commented.
"So what are you going to do Natsu?" Levy questioned.
"I shall make preparations for the party."
"No, you should go and bring her back," Erza commanded.
"No thanks,"
"Ha, he seems pissed." Gajeel chuckled.
"I bet he's upset because he wanted to be the one doing the preparations with Lucy," Levy said wiggling her eyebrow.
"Well it is Lucy after all, she will always be happy when it comes to a party." Mirajane explained.
"She will definitely do a great job on all the decorations," Levy added.
"Fine, I will go and join Lucy," Erza exclaimed standing up.
"Please go ahead," Natsu said smirking.
Erza then marched out of the greenhouse with a determined look upon her face.
~Back with Lucy and the student council~
"Damn that Natsu! I'll show him what I am made of!"
"And what might that be?" Jellal said with an amused smirk.
"Decorations for the festival of course!" I announced.
"Well, you see, last year for the party we invited V.I.P's and specially booked a reception hall." Jellal explained.
"Oh really,"
"Lucy!" Erza shouted as she walked into the room.
Everyone turned in her direction and I noticed a slight blush appear on Jellal's face.
"I shall be joining you for the competition this time." She announced.
"Really? That's great!" I said.
"Let's make Natsu languish alone in defeat!"
"Awesome!" I was happy that Erza was here, with her I know we can win.
"Alright Erza, let's bring Natsu down together!" I pumped my fist into the air and was bubbling with excitement.
