GAJEEL

Dang the events from last night had just came flooding into Gajeel's mind as soon as he woke up, and it hurt his brain to think about it

"What is it?" his exceed Pantherlily asked noticing the strange look on Gajeels face. "you seem disturbed."

"Naah I'm fine." he said trying to sound as convincing as he could.

"You know when I was a army commander in Edolas the humans trained me so I could sniff out bombs, fight and most importantly spot when someone is lying to me." Lily said totally deadpan.

"All right you got me but if I tell you though you have to promise not to say anything anyone, got it?" Gajeel said putting on a serious face.

"I am a sealed vault your secret is safe with me." Lily pretended to lock his lips.

"All right here goes, Natsu and Lucy are dating!" Gajeel yelled as quick as physically possible. Lily looked totally unsurprised, which in turn made Gajeel feel completely surprised!

"Oh I already knew that Lily said." Infuriatingly calmly, "I thought that your secret would be more personal."

"Personal what is that supposed to mean?" Gajeel questioned.

"Oh you know like maybe about a certain person, or something else entirely different Lily said quickly."

"Hold on a second, why did they tell you of all people."

"Well its probably because I'm a very reliable exceed, and sometimes its good to get something off your shoulders every once in a while." he paused. "do you have anything you need to get off of your chest?"

"What of course not why would you even think that you know that I would tell you any secret that I had. and anyway why do you keep bringing this back to me, I'm asking you the questions."

"Why do you have all of these questions?" are you trying to avoid telling me something. Lily said sarcastically.

"Dumb cat." Gajeel muttered under his breath.

LEVY

Oh come on Lucy I've done lots of things for you in the past. Levy whined

That may be true but I have better things to do than help you pick out an outfit for your date. Lucy told her.

Lucy! it is not a date it is a Friendly hang out for old friends. Levy was going to have a get together with her childhood friend Erin who she had known since she had been very young and she had run into him at the library and recognized each other.

(flashback)

Oof! oh I'm sorry i wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into you. Levy had dropped al of her books and was desperately trying to pick them up.

No I'm the one who should be sorry for not noticing such a pretty young lady walking by, he laughed helping her pick up the books.

Wow what a nice compliment Levy thought blushing. when she had finally picked up all of her books she looked at the man standing in front of her.

He was very muscular as though he worked out a lot, His eyes were the color of the sky, but he had jet black hair as black as the night sky.

Have we met? the man asked.

I probably would've remembered meeting someone as handsome as you she muttered under her breath.

Uuh what was that? he asked raising an eyebrow.

Nothing she said quickly, I mean I don't think I've had the pleasure. she said hoping he hadn't heard her little comment.

Well my name is Erin O'Daniel. he bowed playfully.

That name she knew that name but from where, it tugged at the back of her mind. Levy Mcgarden, nice to meet you. then it hit her.

Wait a second they both said in unison, I do know you.

Levy is that really you I haven't seen you in a such a long time. I missed you.

Aww I missed you too its so good to see you again. one day you just disappeared I didn't know where you went but I was so sad I had lost such a good friend.

Well thank you for the concern, you see my mother died when you had gone on a vacation with your family and my father wanted to leave our house he said their were too many foul memories in it. oh I so much wanted to stay a couple more days until you returned so I could say my goodbyes but unfortunately my father wanted to leave as soon as possible so we had to leave before you came home.

Oh I didn't know about your mother I'm sorry for you.

Thanks Lev. Erin said, Hey how about I take you out for Lunch sometime so that we can catch up.

That sounds like a great idea Erin I would love to go to lunch with you some time.

(End of Flashback)

So thats why I need your help Lucy I can't just go in this. she said looking down at her orange dress.

Well then find something else to wear but find it without my help I have more important plans for tonight. Lucy huffed.

Oh you mean your date with Natsu? Levy asked.

Lucy froze and slowly turned around. how do you know about that she whispered through clenched teeth. Because if Gajeel told you I will wring his neck.

Well actually I just had a lucky guess and it appears I was right. she defiantly looked at Lucy daring her to say no now. So Lucy could you pretty please help me pick out an outfit for my get together this evening she evilly smirked at her friend.

Fine Lucy said gritting her teeth together. but only because you said please. she said a false smile covering her face, eyes glaring daggers at her.

Yeeesh if looks could kill Levy thought.
