Sunlight [Sting Eucliffe]

Chapter 8 ☆彡

3rd Person POV

"Pathetic!" Cana yelled, with a beer bottle in her hand. Nikko laughed, chugging the beer in her mug. "Fairy Tail used to be on top! What the hell happened?! Every last one of them.."

Everyone sighed.

"Big words from somebody who was too busy pub hopping to cheer her teammates on." Elfman said.

"I was watching you!" Cana defended herself. "Even all pubs have Lacrima Vision."

"Well, lets raise a mug to our crushing defeat!" Master Makarov cheered. "What a disaster of a day.." Erza sighed, a smile still on her face though. "I know.." Mirajane agreed.

"We'd all better get out act together from tomorrow on." Natsu yelled, his fists raised. "I'm up tomorrow! And I'll turn things around for us, you'll see!"

"Do it, Natsu!" Happy cheered, waving his hands around. "Good luck!" Nikko giggled, drunk out of her mind.

"Huuuh? If the Salamander's gonna be in the game, maybe I'll join in too.." Gajeel said, with Lily standing on the table. "I'd say it's high time you showed 'em the results of your training." Lily said.

"Huh? Lu-chan and Gray aren't here?" Levy muttered, looking around after realizing it. "Now that you mentioned it, I haven't seem 'em.." Jet said.

"They're probably doing something hot in the hotel room!" The brown haired girl cheered. She was missing her blonde haired, blue eyed, annoying mate. But not that she would tell anyone.

Cana giggled, high fiving her. Cana was slightly buzzed. Her cheeks were red, and her hair was lazily tied up in a ponytail.

"I'm not surprised, the way they lost.." Macao said with his arms crossed. "They probably don't wanna be seen right now." Wakaba reasoned.

Romeo stood up from his chair, "I don't know about that. Both of them were cool in my eyes."

Juvia looked down sadly. "Cheer up Juvia!" Nikko yelled, and motioned her over. "C'mon.. Let's drink the night away!"

• meanwhile ;)

In Honeybone, Gray was standing in front of the window, looking around. Lucy sat there in a chair, looking down, ashamed. The room was dark.

"Are you still depressed?" Gray asked the blonde. "I could say the same thing to you." Lucy muttered. He turned around, and looked at her. She kept her gaze on her lap, her eyes watery. "I hear everyone's gathered at a nearby pub." Gray told her, walking pass her. "It's a pain in the ass, but I'm gonna at least pop in.." He stopped suddenly.

Lucy was behind him, her hand grabbing his sleeve. Her head was still down. She sniffed, blushing. His eyes widened, and he turned his head back, looking at her. "Don't leave me alone.." She said. "Lucy..." He muttered, blushing. "You.."

"Gray.. The truth is I.." She started. She suddenly jumped on him, but he moved back, and hand in front of his face. "Don't! I've got Juvia.." He yelled. "I love you, Gray!" She said.

• back to reality HAHA

"What'll I do if that happens?!" Juvia cried. Nikko laughed, patting her back.

"It's not happening." Gray sighed. Lucy next to him, her eyes closed. "As always, you've got a huge imagination." Lucy said, sweatdropping. "And this time, it was long!"

"Gray! Lucy!" Nikko grinned, wobbling over to them. She wrapped her arms around their necks. "Let's drink!"

Gray blushed, and Lucy smiled.
