(Gajeel P.O.V)

We headed downstairs, already changed into our pajamas. We met the girls, Lisanna, Mirajane at the edge of the stairs, as Mirajane said. She smiled at all of us (her eyes were bugged out when she saw Gray's PJs) and motioned for us to follow her to the TV room.

The fluffy couch we had seen from before was still there, but someone had added additional seats for all of us. We all took a seat and waited for Mirajane to explain the thing we were doing.

"Okay guys!" she told us. "Our last activity for today is a movie!" Natsu cheered excitedly.

"We should watch How to Train your Dragon!" he offered.

"No way! Frozen is the best!" Gray countered.

"Iron Man!" I chimed in.

"That movie sucks!" Natsu shook his head.

"What did you say?!" I yelled.

"How about a scary movie?" Lisanna asked.

"N-no!" Shrimp disagreed. "I don't like scary movies at all!"

"You're really missing out, you know." I told her. She shook her head vigourously.

"Okay, who votes for scary movie?" Mirajane asked. Everyone except for Shrimp raised their hands.

"Lu-chan! Erza?" she protested. "Guys?"

"Scary movie it is then!" Mirajane decided. She opened the DVD box for Friday the 13th and placed it inside the disk slot.

"Eek!" Shrimp kept on screaming throughout the movie.
She grabbed the nearest thing and began hugging it for dear life.
That thing happened to be me, though. Whenever she did that, my face turned red. Good thing the lights were turned off or else I'll never hear the end of it from Salamander and Ice Boy.
Finally, near the end of the movie, Shrimp fell asleep on my stomach and began using me as a teddy bear. My face turned a crimson red.

I looked around, nervous, to see if anyone could help me.
Lucy was fast asleep on Natsu's shoulder, but he didn't seem to mind. His eyes were glued onto the screen and he was eating popcorn, not a care in the world.
Evergreen and Efman were too busy watching the movie to see that I was in trouble. Juvia and Gray fell asleep on each other. Erza noticed Shrimp sleeping on me, but she didn't put any effort into helping me. Mira stood in the back with Laxus smiling smugly at me.
I finally realized that I had to do it myself.

1. I tried pushing her off. She may look weak, but she has a super strong grip. I couldn't do it.

2. I tried replacing myself with one of the pillows. She took it, but she seemed to be having a bad dream.

Her face looked worried and a drop of sweat beaded onto her forehead. After a few minutes, I felt bad for her and took away the pillow. She grabbed back onto me and her face became angelic once more.

In the end, I couldn't get her off. After a while, my eyelids started to close and I felt drowsy. I fell fast asleep on top of Shrimp's head.

~Timeskip~

Tap, tap.
I woke up to a finger tapping my shoulder. It was Mirajane. She pointed at Shrimp and mimicked someone carrying something. I realized what she was doing.

"No way! I'm not carrying her upstairs!" I yelled-whispered, not wanting to wake her up.

"Why?! It won't kill you!!" She groaned.

"She's too heavy! It may kill me!" I lied.

She crossed her arms, irritated and I sighed.
Once Mirajane makes up her mind, it takes a lot to talk her out of it. I grabbed Shrimp and carried her on my shoulders. Natsu was carrying Lucy bridal-styal and he gave me a look when he saw Shrimp riding on my shoulders. I glared at him and he looked away after giving me a small grin.

We carried the girls up towards Lisanna's room and set them on the floor.
I covered Shrimp's sleeping body with a blanket I found nearby and left the room.
I walked into Elfman's room and crawled into my sleeping bag. I couldn't fall asleep right away. I kept on thinking about Shrimp, our dinner, and the movie. I finally fell into a deep sleep to the sound of Salamander snoring.
