Oh the wonders of school! It's been a week! So super sorry! This week had a lot of things happening at school, (Play auditions, picture day, geography quiz, etc.) And I was late for school like twice! One more time and I'll be the first person in my school to get a detention that way. So... for chapter 4 I decided to do third person most of the time because POV are a little hard to do. But without further or do, Here it is!
Lucy could feel every ounce of herself burning as she desperately tried to get Natsu hand over her the embarrassing writing. It was a mistake to mix it up with her real novel, and the worst part was that someone was going to read it! And that person was Natsu! He wouldn't understand... or maybe he would, and he might call her a pervert and then never hang out with her again!
She hated to do it but she had no other choice... Lucy raised her hand and swiped it across his face. The next thing she knew, there was a stunned Natsu leaning over her bed. She took the opportunity to pull papers from his hands and run to the bathroom with them. She sighed, closing the door and leaning against it, she looked down. "Last time I ever write lemons and put them in that drawer..." she muttered.
The next day at the guild, Levy looked at Lucy and then her eyes flicked back down to the hieroglyphics in front of her. Lucy held her arms out to her with the green tablet held in her hands, hoping look in her eyes. "C'mon Levy! If anyone can do it, it's you!" Lucy said.
"Of course, Lu... but where did you find this?" the bluenette asked.
"Just something I found on my last mission."
"Hmm... Wow, this is different. Unusually rare language on this one, but I've seen it before-"
"Wait you have seen that before?!"
Levy twitched, "Yeah, don't you remember that one job request we had a long time ago, that switched you and Gray's bodies? It also switched Loke with Natsu and Happy with Erza... Then you guys made me try to figure it out then everyone in the guild ended up being switched... ahh memories," she sighed.
"Oh yeah... how did we all get back to normal anyways?"
"Don't remember," Levy looked back at the tablet. "But I'll be taking this for examination!" She took it from Lucy's hands and beamed at the inscribtions.
Lucy giggled, thanking her friend for the help. She made her way to the bar, sitting next to Natsu and Happy who were chowing down on their normally ridiculous portions.
"Sho," Natsu swallowed. "What do ya wanna do today, Luce?"
"Something entertaining." She replied.
"Why? Isn't it interesting enough here at the guild?"
"Just something new would be nice, is all"
"Lu! I got your thing figured out!" Levy called.
Speechless, she was absolutely speechless as to how quick that was figured out. And Lucy had spent a couple hours trying to decipher the glyphs into words, Levy had done it in a minute.
"How the hell? Levy are you some sort of super genius or something?"
"No... I just remembered everything from that the book I read. The one I used to do the thing we were talking about a few minutes ago." she replied.
Levy held out the green plate with a piece of paper stuck to the top. That was the translation. Lucy plucked it off the top and read:
'One's mood can change fate,
One's most special is all it takes,
You can run and you may hide,
But you can't deny what you feel inside,
Playing games,
If you're bored,
There are many with few scores,
Hide around,
Seek about,
You can't lose now,
Without a doubt'
"Well that's weird," Natsu said.
Lucy shrieked. 'That gives me an idea!' she thought. She grabbed the object out of Levy's grasp and held it up high.
"I know what we're gonna to do today!" Lucy cheered.
"Did 'Phineas and Ferb' get to you already? How much binging are you gonna do, Luce?" Natsu grumbled. He was soon slapped out of his seat by an angry celestial mage.
"NATSUU! THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT PERIOD OF TIME TO TALK ABOUT TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY KIDS SHOWS!" she yelled. Everyone around the bar froze at her glare. "What?!"
"L-Lucy, you're sup-p-p-posed to stay in ch-character for the story..." Happy stammered.
"...What are you talking about, Happy?" she demanded. "I'm fine!"
"I think your just being a little scary, is all..." Mira said from hiding behind the counter. She stood and cautiously watched the celestial mage grow back into original character.
"Not as scary as Erza though..." Happy added. He and everyone else turned to face the scarlet haired woman. She was, as usual, snacking on her favorite strawberry cake that nobody was allowed to touch.
Lucy smacked her hand on her forehead.
Lucy had been sitting at booth within the guild, pondering, when Natsu slid in next to her. "You still wanna do something?" he asked.
Lucy placed her chin on the edge of the table, there were a few things she wanted to do that day; go shopping, play some games, have a party...
"I want a slumber party..." she blurted.
"Isn't that a girl thing?"
Lucy was annoyed by his statement. "Yeah... and...?" she scoffed.
"I don't know if Happy would want to spend the night at your place with a bunch of other girls and guys there... too crowded, I mean not everyone is going to fit in your apartment." he explained. "I mean... I wanna go, but-"
"Hold on you idiot! I'm only inviting a few of my girlfriends! Not you or Happy! Or any boys...!" she huffed.
Natsu looked down at his lap. He always looked forward to spending time with his best friend. 'Is this what the guys mean by being shot down?' he wondered. 'I just wanted to say that it being just the two of us would have been fun...'
"Hey? You're not that upset... are you?" she asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Pshh! I'm not upset over something that stupid!" he lied. He knew he was normally a terrible liar, but he'd tried to be convincing anyways.
Accepting his answer, Lucy started into action! She gathered up a small group of her Fairy Tail girlfriends and announced her plannings for the evening to come. Since it was only around noon, it would that night.
Lucy was satisfied with her plans, Erza, Levy, Wendy and Charle, Juvia, Cana, Mira, and Lisanna were all attending. It was going to be a night full of fun games, snacks, and just talking to each other! She wanted to relax and have fun, take a break from jobs... from her idiotic partners... the awesome people that always-
'Nooooo! Don't let it get to your head that way Lucy!' she mentally stated. She wanted to go back and prepare, clean up a little, make snacks, plan games, and wash up.
Yaaay! Finally finished! So exposition is finally over! Yay! I hate writing the beginnings of stories but when I get to the good parts it's great! Hope you enjoyed! Sorry for late update... I kinda run on reviews, so if you leave one I might work a little faster.
Arigatou!
