Hey...Um...Don't really know what to say right now...
Oh! What's the holiday season without some snow...
BTW: I am releasing a one-shot on New Years! I am also going to try and end most of my stories, so I can start off on a clean slate! I am open for suggestions... Just not too too many because I don't want my brain to explode with ideas cause it's literally making a new story in my head every week or so. And how do I get writers block? Well that's when I don't think out the plot very well... Oops... Also, for my next story would you like it to be NaLu, or GaLe. Please comment, I cannot decide... I also found out you spell Luxus not Laxus...
Chapter 3
Snowball fight...
"I'm mister white Christmas, I'm mister snow. I'm mister icicle, I'm mister ten below."
10 days till Christmas
As sad as it is, Mira's mistletoe didn't work like she'd hoped it would. Luxus got mad at Evergreen for putting the mistletoe over his and Mira's heads. Gajeel would try to keep his distance from Levy, but Levy would eventually find her way to him. It was a prank after all. It wasn't real. It wasn't what they wanted it... Right? Natsu learned that it was a prank, and he seemed to have shaken it off. But did Lucy? Gray's the same as ever, only he and Juvia had started randomly disappearing every once in a while. It was almost as mysterious as how Gray strips. Like it was a habit... The entire guild thought it was a great prank, and let's just say a lot of people lost a lot of money due to some bets that were made about the 'new couples'.
This was turning out to be one heck of a holiday season. That's for sure...
The guild had yet to find out who the secret Santa was... All speculation was on Jet, because the gifts were delivered at an incredible speed. Jet didn't say anything. He knew it was best to keep his fast mouth shut. After all, you can't tell anybody. Rules are rules. It might not even be him...
Gray trudged through the snow that was now up to his knees, and higher in other places along the street. Of course he didn't have a problem with it because he was used to the cold. Juvia didn't, either. She kept up nicely with Gray. However, Juvia kept her clothes on.
"Gray-sama, your clothes." She said. Gray looked down to see he was in his boxers once again. How the hell does he manage to do that!? He was wearing long pants and a coat. He's in deep snow, and he just magically strips!? The world may never know...
Gray looked back at Juvia, who was now picking up his clothes that lay on the fluffy snow.
"Juvia thinks Gray-sama shouldn't strip in the cold." Juvia remarked. She handed Gray back his clothes. Gray took them, and continued trudging.
With Christmas getting closer, and closer, the guild got more festive, and festive. By the wall of the guild hall, was a cleared space for a fifteen foot Christmas tree. Many of the guild members had brought their own decor. The tree was filled with colorful ornaments from top to bottom. Probably too much, because the branches had fallen down too deep. Holly, and lights were lined on the walls. Mira was around the clock making hot coco. Cana of course, added her own little spark to it.
Gray and Juvia seemed to burst into the guild. The forceful, cold winds from outside had pushed on the doors. It allowed some snow to get in, and blew out the cozy fire that was housed in the guild's fireplace. It was quickly ignited again, thanks to Natsu.
"Jack frost, get out! You made the guild ten degrees colder in here!" Shouted the dragon slayer.
"I don't see why you should be complaining, flame-brain. You're never cold. 'sides, you got that fire goin like it was nothin." Replied Gray. Being a little defensive.
"You wanna go, Frosty?"
"Nah."
Natsu looked at the ice mage confused. Since when would Gray turn down a fight?
"Scared, or somethin?" Natsu teased. He quickly became amused as Gray glared Natsu down.
"I don't want to fight a loser, who probably can't even throw a snowball." Gray said, as he hit Natsu smack-dab in the face with a clump of ice. Natsu fell back slightly.
"that was ice, you idiot!" Natsu yelped, as he went to throw an 'Iron Fist' at Gray.
He was stopped. Erza held her sword between them, preventing Natsu from getting a whack at Gray.
"Now listen, Natsu." Erza began. Natsu winced in fear, as he stopped behind the boundary of him and Gray. "If you want to fight this properly, you need to prove yourself." Erza said.
"You're encouraging this!?" yelped Lucy.
Erza ignored her.
"In order to fight this time, you must..." She held a dramatic pause. " Have a snowball fight." She said in a deep voice. Gray smirked, while Natsu winced again. "You must be in a team of four, and this must be fought outside. That is all." Erza concluded, as she drew back her sword. It magically disappeared.
"Lucy!" Natsu shouted.
"AAAAAHHHH! Natsu, don't scare me like that!"
"We're a team, Luce."
"O-Okay..." Lucy said, staring down at the dragon slayer who was now clinging to her. She blushed.
Gray looked around the hall, and realized Juvia was right behind him.
"Ah, Juvia, will yo-" Gray began.
"Juvia will be on Gray-sama's team." Juvia beamed. Gray was a bit annoyed at how his teammate had finished his sentence.
Gray and Natsu had finally chosen their teams.
Mira took a pen and paper, and wrote down the teams.
Gray's team:
Gray
Juvia
Wendy
Gajeel
Natsu's team:
Natsu
Lucy
Elfman
Bisca
"Now that the teams are settled, you will get five minutes to set up outside." Erza proclaimed.
Everyone rushed outside. Including other guild members, who had started betting on the teams.
As the timer went down, everyone had gathered on either sides of a field filled with heavy snow.
"One more thing." Erza said.
'7...6...5..'
"No magic." Erza said. And almost instantaneously did the timer stop.
Everyone raced to their positions, and the snow went flying.
Each team had built a snow barrier, and was now throwing snowballs like there was no tomorrow.
Elfman had started flinging snowballs wherever he could. It wasn't very acurate, but you could easily walk into a snowball.
Natsu was at a stand-off with Gray. He was trying to prove he wasn't a loser.
Bisca was helping Natsu, and Lucy was making amo and artillery.
Juvia fought Bisca, while Gray fought Natsu.
Wendy had the same job as Lucy.
Gajeel was dodging Elfman's attacks, and trying to get into a good spot so he could throw the monstrous snowball in his hands.
The guild roared as the fight went on. Mainly, because all bets were on Gray's team.
They fought for about fifteen minutes, until all that remained was Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Wendy.
Wendy and Lucy kept making amo for the boys, as they fought endlessly. they fought without rest, and gave almighty roars as they threw snowballs (Pretending they were magical attacks).
It finally ended with Gray throwing the last snowball at Natsu.
The guild roared with pleasure!
"Hot coco, guys." Said Mira. Everyone immediately stopped, and went to have Mira's famous hot coco. Little did the mages know... That the snowball fight wasn't over... Someone wanted revenge... And revenge they will get.
"NATSU~~~" A blonde mage shivered, as ice traveled down her back.
Natsu and Happy snickered at the freezing mage.
'Smack'
A snowball was thrown directly at the cat. Natsu looked to see his blue companion spiraling towards the ground like a fallen leaf, and then shivered towards the guild. Without a second to react, another came, and hit him smack-dab in the face.
"Now you're asking for it." Natsu gave Lucy an evil smirk. He swiped the snow from his face.
"Eh?" The blonde then realized Natsu was making the biggest snowball ever. Lucy ran for cover, but could not hide from the dragon slayer's nose. She sat behind a snow wall, hoping for a little coverage. She looked back for Natsu, but he was not there. Then a figure shadowed over her.
"AHHHHH!" She screamed.
The snowball fell right on top of her, making her look like a small snowman.
Natsu burst out laughing as he saw a very embarrassed Lucy try to get out of the ginormous snowball. The snowball was very compact, and stiff. Making it nearly impossible to escape.
"What was that for, Natsu!?" The blonde demanded. Now feeling the cold seep through her winter clothes.
Natsu's laughing died down, and he slowly closed in on the trapped mage.
"I already lost to someone today. I can't lose again!" Natsu exclaimed.
"But I'm c-c-c-c-cold." Lucy shivered.
Natsu looked down, and could see she was shivering so hard, that the snowball had snow shaking off of it. He quickly knelt down next to her, and shook off the rest of the snow with ease.
"S-s-so c-c-cold." Lucy said. She hugged herself, hoping to bring back some body temperature. Her lips were blue, and she was white as snow.
"Shit. I'm sorry Lucy." Natsu said. He picked Lucy up, and held her in his arms. Lucy hummed against his chest, and he strolled back into the guild. Savoring every moment he had with the frozen girl.
There! I ended it with fluff!
Did Natsu really shake it off?
What about Gajeel? Or Levy?
I'm sure ya'll know about Gray and Juvia.
I'm not even gonna mess with Luxus, and Elfman's couples...
