"What the bloody hell is Operation Toothpaste?" Natsu Dragneel spat, obvious disgust evident on his furrowed brows. "It sounds disgusting and I am so disappointed that you, Lucy Heartfilia, my best friend, is the one who formulated this prank."

"Oh, darling, if I didn't know you better," A smirk curled on my lips. "I know you're just upset because I wasted the Oreos by replacing its filling with toothpaste."

"Exactly," He interjected. "And I almost took a bite on one of the biscuits you little—"He released a breath.

"The sticky note on the cover of the container clearly stated that it is not meant for you," I said in my defense.

"Well you can't blame me," He pouted. "Before I actually knew that those biscuits are dangerous, I could only think about why you're going to give Fujiyama Oreos while I, your great and undeniably good looking best friend do not."

"Don't hate me if I accidentally punch you,"

"Threats, threats! A young, innocent, and handsome looking guy that is specifically me is getting threats!" He exaggerated. "How violent can you get, Heartfilia?"

"I wish you have an idea how disgusting you are right now, Natsu," I shook my head but the smile on my face shows the amusement he had brought me.

"Well, kidding aside," He straightened his uniform. "You still plan to continue Operation Toothpaste?"

"No one can stop me, Dragneel," I smirked. "No one."

Fujiyama Koutaro is the basketball club's captain. It doesn't take an Einstein to know why I am very eager for him to eat these toothpaste-filled Oreo biscuits.

"So, after Fujiyama," Natsu started. "Are you also planning to get revenge on the other members?"

"Oh of course," My eyes shone, a clear indication that I am up to no good. "After what they did yesterday, do you really think I'd just let them off the hook?"

"Of course," He laughed. "I trust that Gajeel is not going to receive your wrath though? I mean, he's the one who told us about Fujiyama's plan."

"Certainly," I assured. "After all, he is part of this operation."

His jaw dropped. "What do you mean by that?"

I gestured to the box on my hand. "He's going to deliver this little gift from me."

"Are you serious, Lucy?!" His voice raised a little. "I mean, he might mess up! He's not a prankster. You know that, Lucy. You know."

"But he's the perfect person!" I argued. "They won't suspect anything if Gajeel went ahead to the gym locker so he can put this outside Fujiyama's locker!"

"Brilliant," He said as he released an exasperated sigh. Clearly, he's still anxious. "Brilliantly suicidal, Luce."
