It was just a regular day in Magnolia for Team Natsu. Going on quest. Defeating the enemy. Natsu destroying everything. Them having to give up most of the reward money. Gray fighting Natsu over whose fault it was. Erza instantly making them act "buddy, buddy". Lucy trying to console Natsu as they ride the train back home. Happy and Natsu breaking into Lucy's house while she tried to sleep. Her throwing them out her window. It was looking to be like every other week. She writes so in her diary feet swinging on her bed. She loves her diary, something of a friend she can tell any and everything. With her pink fluffy pen, she writes about everything from cute mages, and nightmares, to like now, just how her day went. Because of repeated break-ins from Natsu and Happy, she hides it and does not leave it lying around just anywhere, opting to keep it hidden in the depths of her closet. Without fail, she gets up after she's done writing, hides the diary, succumbs to her fatigue, and nods off to sleep.
"No, no, Noooo," Lucy screamed as she hurriedly got dressed.
"Shut Up!" called her not-so-neighboring neighbor.
"Sorry," she mumbled.
Before leaving, she took one last look at her room.
Jeez. It's a mess. Which was an understatement. Drawers were open, piles of clothes were all on the ground, and the closet, along with her bedding. She then turned to a mirror to look at herself. Her pink tube top and white skirt combo were topped off with white sneakers to make it look more casual. She was almost done, except for one thing. Her hair. It looked as if she had gotten electrocuted. It would take a miracle to fix it, but she knew someone that was made up of them for hair.
"Cancer. I need you for a sec."
Right then, a fairly tanned man who looked to be in his late 20s appeared in front of her.
"Yes, baby?" He responded.
"Uhhhh, just go to town!"
"Of course, baby"
In a matter of seconds, she was finished, for real this time.
She ran as fast as she could to her guild, afraid that her friends had already left on another quest without her since she took so long.
"Finally, you're here Luce," a pink-haired boy exclaimed.
"Yea, what took you so long?" The blue cat questioned.
"Sorry guys, I kinda slept in." She responded.
"We were going to go on a quest, but Natsu here started throwing a fit about,"how it wouldn't be the same," said the ice mage.
"YOU SAID THE SAME THING PERV!" Natsu barked back, blushing.
"NO, I DIDN'T!" Yelled Gray with a red tint on his cheeks.
"Be quiet" Scolded Erza.
"Yes, ma'am" they whispered.
After spending most of the day beating dumb thieves, Lucy treated herself to a spa.
"Ahhh, there's nothing better than a soothing hot tube after a hard day of work," she exclaimed happily. The warm water massaging the sores the day brought to her.
"I bet," called out another voice.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE, YA PERV?" she screeched, arms protectively covering her chest.
"Oh, yeah, sorry, didn't mean to scare you or anything."
"Just tell me why you're here," she huffed.
"Well, I just came to give you something, as like a thanks," He responded
He had then reached down into his army green jeans and pulled out two slips of laminated paper. And after closer inspection, they turned out to be tickets to a resort. But it wasn't just anywhere. The most luxurious tourist spot in all of Fiore, High Tide.
"How did you get these?" She asked excitedly. Even though it had just opened, it was already super popular. You could stay in a beautiful room that overlooked the just as a beautiful beach. There were great food spots and shops. Everyone wanted to go, but the tickets were almost impossible to get. They also cost a whopping 35,000 jewel!
"I went on a mission and after the guy gave me these as a thanks along with 80,000 jewels. And since I can always get in free with you, I figured I would give you both," the lion said with a big grin on his face.
"How chivalrous of you," she replied as the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Of course, my love."
happily, she reaches grabs the tickets out of his hands, and turns to say thank you but his mouth is open and eyes looking somewhere low...
"GET LOST, PERV!" she screams, sending a hard blow to his chin.
his face is flushed and bleeding but still squeaks out a happy:
"worth...it"
With that, he had left back to the spirit world.
Lucy woke up early to pack her bags. She had already asked Erza to go, and she was excited since she heard there was an amazing cake shop. After smoothing out her white mini skirt and readjusting her pink tube top, she headed straight for the guild, brown cowgirl boots clacking on the floor where Erza and she met up. As she was traveling down the street, she heard someone call out to her.
"Hey! Blondie," said a deep voice.
Startled, Lucy whipped her head around to see a man about 6 feet tall with spiky blonde hair and a scar that resembled a lightning bolt that ran down his right eye. It was no other than god himself, Laxus Dreyar.
"You know that you're blond yourself, right?" She said with a grimace.
"So I've heard," He said, fluffing up his jacket.
"What's with all the luggage, missy?"
"Oh, Loke got me tickets to High Tide so I'm going to go with Erza."
"Good for you-"
"OH NO! I'm running late. Erza is gonna kill me. Sorry Laxus, I hope we can talk more later!"
In a matter of seconds, Lucy had already run out of his sight, afraid of what the scarlet-haired mage would do if she kept waiting for any longer.
"What a weird girl."
Out of breath, she shoved the guild doors open, scanning for her friend.
"Lucy," came a scary voice.
"Y-yes Erza. " Lucy craned around to see a mad Erza standing beside her with her arms crossed.
"What took you so long?"
The whole guild was looking intently, awaiting what would happen if she answered incorrectly and ticked off the red bombshell.
"I'm s-so sorry I lost track of time," she said truthfully.
"I suppose it's fine as long as you're here now," Erza said with a sigh, deciding not to dwell on any unpleasant emotions and move forward on the trip for the sake of cake.
"Yeah, let's go," Lucy said, relieved that she didn't get buried alive.
And with that, they were off. 5-star luxury was awaiting them. What was awaiting Lucy when she got back was everything but.
"Luce" called out the fire mage.
"Lucyyyy" yelled the half-naked wizard.
They had gone to the guild and found out she had left, but they didn't know where, so their first instinct was to check her house. It was a disaster. Everything was everywhere. How could someone live like this? Usually, when they came the house was clean until they messed it up, but they hadn't been there all day.
"LUCYYY!" they called out. Gray looked in her living space while Natsu searched in her drawers.
"Hey Genius, I highly doubt she would be in her dresser."
"Shut it, snowflake!" Said Natsu, grumbling over to look under her bed and then in her closet. Scooping piles of clothes, he continues to call for her, wondering if she got buried underneath all the mess. His hands hit something hard, but he doesn't pay it any mind and just continues with his search through the blonde girl's closet. Defeated, he huffs and begins to step away from your closet when his foot hits something hard, making him welp and jump around, holding his foot in pain.
"Ehh. What happened?" Gray asked as he peered around the corner to check on his dumb friend.
"I don't know..." he said, turning to check out what had hurt him, only to see a hot pink book with a magenta heart in the center.
"It feels like a book. I think it's her novel!" the fire dragon exclaimed.
"What? Let me see," Gray said, now walking to him.
He pulls out a journal that read "DO NOT READ PROPERTY OF LUCY HEARTFILIA."
"Well... open it, dummy," Said Gray.
"Can you read it says to not open it, snowman"
Gray then grabbed it out of his hands and opened it. Natsu took it upon himself to look as well since he couldn't deny his curiosity.
"Uhhhhhhh..."
Silence took the air as the two boys read what was inside the book.
This obviously isn't her novel... hopefully. They both thought.
"What should we do with you know..." asked Gray finally breaking the silence. "Should we show the others?"
"I mean she's not coming home anytime soon... soo" Natsu said sneakily, earning him an evil smile from Gray.
Erza and Lucy had finally reached their destination. The two girls looked around, amazed at how charming the lights were.
"I'm quite happy we got here so late. It's gorgeous," Exclaimed Erza.
"I know, right!" Lucy responded with pure bliss.
They immediately started unpacking. The room was huge with warm brown wood flooring, off-white walls, succulents all around the room, tall dressers the same color as the floors, bright candles on top of them that made the whole room smell sweet, and golden fairy lights laced around the room. Two king-sized beds felt like clouds, and Lucy instantly knew she was going to have a great time. They decided to go to sleep and then head out to the beach once they woke up. After they would go to a restaurant, but agreed sometime later in the week Erza would get to go to the bakery. Sleep was easy that night with the door to the balcony open so that they could see the waves crashing onto the shore.
When morning time rolled about, the two got dressed and went out to swim. Erza had on a matching emerald green velvet bikini with bedazzled drawstrings that shined as bright as her eyes. Lucy had on a matching white bikini with pink hibiscus flowers all over. Both women had their hair tied up into a messy ponytail with strands that laid loosely over their faces.
"Ready?" Erza asked with a big goofy smile on her face.
"Yep!" Lucy replied, just as excited. And with that, they set their sights on the beach. So many people were already there, smiling and having fun. They couldn't help feeling happy themselves. The girls were laughing and splashing each other with the salty water. Erza had brought a beach ball for them to play with. They were hitting them back and forth when the scarlet-haired beauty hit it a little too far. Backing up, Lucy went to hit it back when she bumped into someone.
"Oww" The man winced.
"Oh my! I'm so sorr-" Lucy she trailed off as she realized she bumped into a black-haired dragon slayer. He was of average height, His wet, messy hair lay comfortably on his face.
"Rouge?" Lucy exclaimed.
"Uh... hi Lucy, long time no see."
"Wassup Lucy," Said Sting.
"Hey, you guys..." Lucy trailed off once again when her gaze went down as she noticed Rouge's attire. Her gaze left his black swim shorts and rested on his bare chest.
"Earth to Lucy! " called out a familiar voice. She finally snapped out of it and noticed her friend's brown eyes gazing into her own.
"Ah! Sorry Erza, what were you saying?" Said Lucy blushing profusely.
"It's almost time to go eat."
"Gotcha. Well, it was nice bumping into you," the celestial wizard said, offering an awkward smile.
"Yeah, likewise," said the shadow force mage.
...
"I can't believe I said that," said the blonde, later blushing into her hands.
"me neither. Nothing a little of food wouldn't be able to get your mind off of," Came the redhead, rubbing her friend's back supportively.
"GUYS WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU ALL," Natsu and Gray practically screamed out.
And with that, the whole guild was crowded around the two boys.
"What is it?" called out Mira and Cana.
"You better not waste my time," Growled Laxus.
"You heard him. There will be consequences if it's not worthy of our boss's time," said the Thunder Legion. Before the fire and ice duo could announce the contents of said book, Cana had snatched it out of their hands to see what the fuss was about.
"No way!" Cana said excitedly.
"Let me see. Oh, this is good!" said the takeover mage.
"This here is a book of all the people Miss Lucy Heartfilia likes...rom-an-ti-cally." And with that statement, the whole guild was intrigued.
"Well, ladies, could you do the honors of reading all the names?" Gray said in a proper tone.
"We accept," Cana said playfully. At this point, everyone was on the edge of their metaphorical seats.
"It reads, in no particular order she is welcomed to the idea of dating..."
- Natsu Dragneel
- Laxus Dreyer
- Gray Fullbuster
- Rouge Cheney
- Loke
A roar of surprise erupted among the guild. Laxus let out a dismissive huff of air when he heard his name called, but the light blush on his cheeks was undeniable. Gray and Natsu had a proud looks on their faces as they conversed with the guild members.
"Well..." Started Thunder Legion, looking to their captain with a rather expecting look.
"I guess it was worth a bit of my time." Is all he says, leaving to find quiet in the now rowdy room.
