Chapter Fourteen - On the Twelfth Day: Part 3

The entire guild sat up in anticipation as First Master Mavis Vermilion jumped up with joy. "Okay, Cana it's your turn!"

"Ahehe…yea it is, isn't it?" The Card Mage awkwardly replied with a slow laugh and a pause.

Sadly for Cana…she never even went shopping throughout the entire twelve day process.

In fact, she was so confident that she would find the guild's best gift that she actually convinced herself that she had already bought a gift early in the week…only it now appeared to all be a drunken illusion, and she now sat in the guild hall with no present to give.

"So, who did you have to shop for, Cana?" Master Makarov asked with a curious look on his face.

Nigel on the other hand knew exactly why she couldn't answer that question, and immediately crossed his arms and legs and looked on with sarcasm. "Yea, Cana. Tell 'em who you went shopping for."

Cana laughed. "Ahaha, well I had little Asuka to shop for this Christmas…surprise Asuka!"

"YAY! I get my pwesent now!" Asuka jumped out of her father, Alzack's arms and immediately ran over to greet Cana at the bar.

Everyone in the guild hall laughed, with the exception of Lucy Heartfilia.

"Wait…Asuka's up next?" The blonde thought to herself. "Asuka already gave her gift out earlier. And I never got picked." She then added up the math, and looked down to the gift she was supposed to give Natsu.

"That means…" She stopped her thought as Cana went to speak.

"Ah so are ya ready, little Asuka?" Cana tried stalling as she looked around the room for any possible outing.

Luckily for her, she immediately found her cop-out as soon as her eyes landed to the right, exactly on Nigel's front shirt pocket.

In one quick move, Cana reached into the chest pocket of her friend's shirt (as if she hadn't stolen enough liquor from his house all week) and retrieved two small silver keys.

She then shouted with delight and smiled like a pure genius. "How would you like a brand new yacht for Christmas!?"

"OH WOW WEALLY!?" Asuka jumped up and down as she received the expensive boating keys from Cana's hands.

"Merry Christmas Asuka!" Cana yelled with glee as she picked up Asuka and wrapped the little girl in a great big hug.

As she did, the entire guild hall busted out with laughter, except for Nigel.

In fact, right as Cana turned to wink in his direction, the businessman stopped and raised an eyebrow in defeat as he also raised his glass high.

"Ahh, funny…Merry Christmas, everyone."

Then, the entire guild hall jumped up and cheered all at once in response. "MERRY CHRISTMAS FAIRY TAIL!"

Soon after, Master Makarov took the reins of the party. "Well, Asuka was the first person to hand out a gift, so I guess we're all done! What's say we let the lucky girl show us this new yacht as we carry the party out onto the lake!?"

"YEAH!" The entire guild hall agreed and immediately followed Cana and Asuka out the doors.

That is, everyone except for Lucy.

"HOLD ON! I NEVER GOT TO GIVE MY PRESENT!?"

Then, as Lucy looked to the back of the crowd in an awkward state of mind, Happy turned around and smiled.

"Oh, Lucy! I forgot to tell you…Natsu's at your place!"

"Huh…?" Lucy froze with confusion as Happy giggled.

"Merry Christmas you silly lovebird!" The little cat continued to laugh even harder as he appeared to be the last Fairy out the door to celebrate on the yacht.

"But…? Grrr…" Lucy turned beat red as she sat alone on the guild hall floor. "Now I'm starting to wonder if my land lady really did have to renovate our apartments!"

The angry Celestial Spirit Mage stood up and stormed off in a fit of rage as she left the guild hall and rushed back to her apartment.

As Lucy stormed up the steps of her apartment complex, she unlocked the bolt lock and slammed open the door.

"ALRIGHT, NATSU I WANT AN EXPLANATION FOR…!" Lucy yelled out with pure dramatic rage as she soon collected herself and observed her dimly lit apartment.

Inside she found the entire inch of her room was decorated with colorful Christmas lights and decorations, and she now had a very elaborate and festive tree sitting in the corner of the room.

Even better, the tree had colorful lights, and little ornaments that depicted each of Fiore's major guild emblems hung from every branch to give the tree a very sentimental touch.

"What is all this?" Lucy also wondered over to see four red and green stockings hanging over her little old fashioned stove. They individually ready "HAPPY" "NATSU" "LUCY" and "PLUE" in that order.

Lucy quickly blushed at the odd choice of stockings and finally turned around to see Natsu passed out on the floor asleep while he leaned up against the side of her bed.

"Oh Natsu…" She quietly sighed to herself as she didn't want to wake him.

Sadly, she did.

"Agh!...mornin' Lucy! *YAWN* Eh, what time is it?"

Lucy rolled her eyes and chuckled in her replied. "It's like ten o'clock at night, Natsu. The gift exchange just ended."

"WHAT!? AGH MAN!" Natsu looked angry at himself for missing the exchange, and started rubbing is pink hair with two angry hands.

Lucy bent over and sat down right beside him, as she leaned her back against her own bed frame. "Let me guess…you had me for Secret Santa, didn't you?"

Natsu shook his head and quickly smiled as he forgot about his earlier trouble. "Yea, actually I did! So do you like the place!?"

Lucy laughed again and replied. "Yea, it looks a little over done, but I bet you bought all these decorations yourself?"

"Sure did." Natsu nodded with pride and crossed his arms. "I had more stockings for all your other spirits, but they wouldn't fit on the stove. I guess you can switch out all the ones you wanna keep up."

Lucy looked over to the fire place and smiled. "Yea, I was thinking about taking your's and Happy's down since YOU DON'T LIVE HERE!"

She wanted to smack him up side the head for putting one of himself and Happy up, and this all left Natsu looking very confused. "Awe, why would you do that, Lucy?"

She shook her head and somehow grinned again. "Never mind. Anyway…I'm actually glad you're here. I-I had you picked out for Secret Santa too...surprise."

It now appears that out of the entire guild, only two people received each other's names in the gift exchange.

Lucy smiled as she held out her package. "Here, Natsu."

"Wow Lucy, Thanks!" Natsu looked up with joy as he received his gift. As he unwrapped the gift, he first pulled out a card of some sorts. "Eh, what is this?"

Lucy blushed and turned her head to hide her own embarrassment. "Erm, that's actually a gag gift…it's a year-long express pass for the Magnolia Train Station."

Natsu examined it and looked back. "Lucy, I hate trains…"

"Yea, that's the joke…haha?" Lucy kept her head turned the other way to avoid any awkward eye contact.

"HA! NO KIDDING!? That's hilarious!" Natsu lit up with total comedic joy. "I actually got you a gag gift too!"

Natsu's reply finally broke Lucy's awkward mood as she snapped back around. "Huh? But what's all this…?" She sat in confusion as she pointed around to her newly decorated apartment.

"What? You thought the decorations were…oh man, Lucy! You really aren't as smart as people say you are!"

Even though she wanted to hit him in the mouth for that comment, she held in her backlash in order for Natsu to continue.

"Nah, don't worry. I got you real gifts on top of all this extra crap!"

Lucy went to reply, but was stopped again as he opened his actual present. "Oooo this is shiny, what is it?" He asked with curiosity.

She tried to explain. "Actually, that's a lacrima made from the embers of that dragon you teamed up with in Crocus. You know, Atlas Flame?"

Natsu looked like he was a child. "NO WAY!? THAT'S AWESOME! I can have this for lunch tomorrow!"

"WAIT! I DON'T WANT YOU TO EAT IT!?" Lucy cried out to defend her gift, but Natsu seemed to ignore her, and wanted to move on the next item on the list.

"Okay, here's your actual gifts!" He pulled them out from under the bed, and sat them firmly on her lap.

Lucy was speechless as she received a small gift bag. She tried to conceal her blushing cheeks as she pulled out the first item.

Then her eye began twitching as she revealed a brand new copy of Nigel's 3D Pokémon video game; the same one that she and her friends were trapped inside for a whole week and almost died in on multiple occasions.

Lucy wanted to throw it out the window. "Natsu…you know I really hate this game, right?"

Natsu chuckled. "Well yea, dummy! That's what a gag gift is! Nigel said you'd find it funny!"

Lucy finally did find it funny as she collected herself and smiled. "Man, you are clever, Natsu…"

She then opened up her second gift. As she pulled out the second half to her present, Lucy was completely lost for words when she saw what it was.

It appeared to be the exact same autograph that Bora the Prominence gave Natsu on the day of their first encounter.

Lucy shook with more rage. "Natsu…two gag gifts!?"

Natsu held his hands over his mouth to conceal his childish laughs. "Heehee…I lied, those were your actual gifts! MAN YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW!"

Lucy's blood started boiling as she sat by her fiery friend with pure rage on her mind. Then, Lucy suddenly gasped as Natsu brought her in for a tight warming hug.

"Hehe…Merry Christmas, Lucy." He smiled with a large grin, which made her awkwardly blush even more.

"Agh, thanks Natsu…you too."

As they each held their hug out for a longer period of time, Natsu paused and looked up.

"Oh, I forgot! When I told Happy I was decorating your room, he also gave me that. I'm not sure what it's for, though."

Lucy's heart skipped a beat as soon as she heard the name Happy. Immediately she turned up to see a tiny ball of mistletoe hanging above their heads, and right there she nearly lost her mind.

"I'm going to kill him in his sleep." Lucy tried thinking off all the possible ways she could end the mischievous cat's life then and there, but stopped as Natsu revealed he wasn't done.

Natsu continued. "He said 'hang it right above her head, and wait to see her reaction.' He also said you would tell me what it means."

"Oh man…" Lucy then tried to muster the courage to reply. She then looked over and accidentally got caught in the gaze of his eyes as she thought of an easy answer.

"A-actually…" There was no way out of it for her at this point. "That's…f-for…"

Then, Lucy caved, and leaned over to give Natsu a small peck on the cheek. Natsu reacted to the strange move, and following the small kiss, Lucy laid her head down on his shoulder and smiled awkwardly.

"Eh, Merry Christmas, Natsu…"

"Um, Lucy…" Natsu replied with confusion as he rubbed his cheek. "You never told me what it's…"

"NATSU!" She lashed out without moving her head. "Just…let me rest a bit, then we can leave for the guild."

Natsu stopped, and then smiled as he put his arm around his tired friend's shoulders.

"Ha! Whatever you say, Lucy…Merry Christmas"

The End!

Merry Christmas from Me to You!
