The Playboy of Fairy Tail High

Natsu vs fire

Cana and I grab our stuff and leave the dorms for Love and Lucky. A week has passed since I slept over at Natsu's, and I've finally gotten Cana and Mira to shut up about their 'nalu' conspiracies to me. Whatever 'nalu' is.

"Yeah I know but... You can't keep... I know you're trying. Baby, listen to me... No of course not!" Erza rushes out of the doors just as Cana and I enter, in a deep conversation. Cana and I share looks.

"Maybe she's stressed for the dance." Cana offers as we take seats.

"Dance? Another one?"

"Yeah, a costume party for halloween. It's still early in the year." Levy adds.

"I know, it just doesn't seem that short. It feels like it's been months." I reply.

"Well, the committee really loves throwing parties!" Levy smiles.

"So what are you going as?" I ask.

"Gajeel really wants to go as Iron Man, the Marvel superhero. He says I should be Pepper Pots, the bookworm." She smiles down at her drink. Levy and Gajeel have been official since the dance, and everyone supports it. They're so cute together!

"Why not? You could wear a wig..." I smile.

"Yeah I guess so." Levy begins to laugh.

"I'm going as a pirate!" Cana exclaims. We all laugh as she takes begins to mimic a pirate, hook, booze, and all.

"Mira, Laxus. What are you dressing up as?" I ask, nudging Laxus to my left. "Also, it's done, Laxus. You're set to go." He smiles, and lets Mira respond.

"We're going as Belle and the Beast."

"After he becomes human, of course," Laxus corrects.

"Of course," Mira agrees with one of her devilish smiles. The confusing one where you never know what she really means.

"What about you, Lu-chan?" Levy asks, looking up from her smoothie.

"I really don't know," I shrug. "What about you, Juvia?" Last week Cana drunkenly gave Juvia the great advice to stop chasing Gray as much. It took her some time to get used too, but now she's able to hang out with us more. And I can tell it's driving Gray crazy.

"Juvia is going as Cinderella. Juvia has always loved Cinderella since Juvia was a little girl. Always loved her story, the hard working, to grand ball, to perfect night at midnight." Juvia looks down with a dreamy sigh, and somehow manages to avoid looking at Gray.

"That sounds beautiful, Juvia." Mira smiles. "Gray?" She gives him a pointed look. Everyone, especially Mira, jumped on the Gray/Juvia (or as Mira and Cana call it: Gruvia) train last week. But from the sounds of it, Mira has been conspiring long before.

"I don't know," Gray shrugs, very indifferent. "I guess I'll figure it out before the dance though."

Juvia sighs, and I hear Cana mutter under her breath, "c'mon man, she gave you the perfect opening. Prince Charming, Gray! Baka..." I laugh internally.

"Hey, where has Lisanna been recently?" I lean over and ask Cana, whispering.

"I don't know. I saw her the other day with those girls who were mean to you before. Maybe she's spending more time with them?" Cana whispers back. Huh.

"What about you, Erza?" Mira smiles and asks the redhead walking back to the table.

"Huh?" She replies, distant.

"What are you going to be for halloween? The dance is in two weeks. Plus, I'm pretty sure you can bring Jellal to this one, since it's held in a public area this time."
