FairyTail: Beauty And The Beast (GaLe)

Chapter 11

"What about the beach?" Natsu suggested.
"We went there last week Flame Brain!" Grey yelled.
"Oh yeah, well I don't see you coming up with anything Ice Princess!" Natsu yelled back, picking on Grey's strange habit of eating ice cubes, well its not a strange habit if you think about his tendency of stripping.
Levy sighed and put her book down, glaring at the two boys who were still arguing about the undecided plans for the night. Levy was allowed to sit this one out, seeing as she hardly knew any places here.

"Maybe we could just stay home and have a small get together." Mira offered. Everyone responded with groans, nobody wanted to celebrate their birthday at home, especially not Lucy.

"The idea is to go somewhere and party for my birthday." Lucy said, giving Mira an apologetic smile.

"We could- ouch! Hey!" Natsu yelled, whirling around and glaring at Levy, who had just thrown her book at him. "What was that for?!" He yelled. Levy shrugged, "I didn't want any of my brain cells dying by listening to your idea." She said, knowing it was gonna be something that would goad either Grey, Laxus or Gajeel into a fight.

Gajeel snickered, but it was cut short when he saw Levy's death glare, "There's more books where that came from, Gajeel." Levy threatened.

Levy turned back to the group, smiling, "Now, does anyone have any actual ideas?" She asked. Lucy mouthed a thanks at her, which she returned with a grin.

"We could always go to Edolas." Jellal stated, shrugging.

"That's a pretty cool idea." Laxus said, clearly liking it.
"Its been ages since I've been there!" Erza said, just realising that fact.
"Edolas is always fun." Gajeel added.
"Then Edolas it is!" Lucy said, failing to hide the excitement in her voice.

"Uhhmm, what's Edolas?" Levy asked, having no idea what they were talking about.

"Its a night club just outside of Magnolia. Every time Juvia goes there, its like Juvia is in another world!" Juvia said, trying to explain.

Levy sunk into the couch, night clubs and all that stuff really wasn't her scene. She would much rather stay at home and read a book.

"Oii Shrimp, you okay?" Gajeel asked, noticing her sudden change in demeanour.
She smiled, "Uh, yeah, of course I am." She said, deciding to go and try to have fun with her friends.

The group sat around and spoke for another hour, everyone bursting with excitement about the new plan.

Eventually Lucy and Levy went to Levy's apartment to plan their outfits and the other girly stuff they only did when they had too.

"So how are things going with Natsu?" Levy asked her best friend, whilst rummaging through her closet looking for her nail polish set.

"Pretty good. Well, great actually." Lucy said, and Levy could hear her smile. "He's actually not as thick skulled as we thought he was, he has this sensitive side that I never knew he was capable of having, or even understanding."

Levy found her kit and walked back to Lucy, "I figured, so I take it he treats you right?"
"He does, he's great." Lucy said, smiling to herself. Levy smiled too, those two were beyond perfect for each other.

The girls chatted as they did each others nails and watched TV. Lucy told Levy about the lame birthday wishes she got from her family back home and the weird gifts she had received.

"So what are you gonna wear?" Lucy asked, admiring her sparkly pink nails.

Levy shrugged, "Probably jeans and that blue of top of mine." She said nonchalantly.
