Ice Cold (Graly Fanfiction)

The Big Night (extended chapter)

Grays POV
Ever since Juvia first came to the guild, Keely's been acting strange. Like she felt unwanted or something. Something tells me that the two are in some kind of rivalry, or just plainly hate each other's guts. I'm not sure if telekinesis or water mix well, now to think of it, no.
When we went aboard the train, I sat next to Keely to my right, and across was Natsu, Lucy, and Erza. Eden was getting something to give to Natsu since his stupid motion sickness was gonna get in the way. Ugh, dealing with him must be in so hard for Eden. I wonder how she doesn't go crazy or something after being with him. There wasn't any room left for us to sit, and Eden came back with some water and water crackers for Natsu, and sat on his lap like a toddler. I had to say it looked kind of adorable seeing her like that. Kind of reminds me of Happy. I looked at Keely in suspicion. She didn't look like her normal self. He hair covered almost her whole face. I nudged her a bit. "Hello? Earth to train wreck", I joked. She slowly lifted her head, and made a face of a serial killer's. Her eyes big, hair covering her face, and face pale. "Nyaaaah..! Wh-what's with that face?!", I trembled. "What face? This is my normal face. Something wrong with it?", Keely said like a menacing demon. "N-no...? Maybe...? YES?!", I exclaimed. She brushed her hair away. "Geez if you keep that up you'll end up looking like you had nightmares 5 nights in a row", she said. I sighed. Something's wrong. I know it.
We arrived at this place called Stellema Plaza. It looked kinda fancy. I wasn't really a fan of fancy things, but its ok I guess.
"I guess we should find a hotel?", I suggested. Eden ran off. What is it now? Did she find a cracker shop or something? That girl's obsessed. Is she secretly a parrot?
A few moments later she came back with a brochure. It had an expensive looking hotel on it, and other things. "Wow! That's fast", Lucy exclaimed. Natsu patted her head. "That's my Eden. Always having the right mind of things. You get a present later", Natsu praised. Eden's Neko ears popped out and she purred. "Okay, I'm officially regretting what I thought a long time ago.
"Maybe Eden should stay at the guild with the Master and Mira. She might be more help there."
While I was in train of thought, I felt a sharp burn on my arm. "OWWW! What was that for Flame Br- E-EDEN?! I-I...sorry sorry sorry!! I didn't know that was you", I yelled but as soon as I saw Eden, I immediately felt ashamed. "Bye bye fly", she cooed at my arm. I looked at my red arm. Oh, a fly. For a second there I almost punched Eden in the face when I felt that burn. Well, one thing I know is that she slaps hard. "Gray change color", Eden said touching my arm. I blinked. "Yeah, from slapping me", I said softly. Then she patted it. "Gomen Nasai", she said. Who raised Eden anyway? Did they take her to 'How to get cute' school?! Because I can't take it and its controlling my coolness. Agh, I'm so gonna forget all of this.
Keely's POV
I didn't know Eden could take us to a high class hotel like this. It's so fancy and shiny. Oh wait. Now I know why she sent us here. Her love for shiny things. I should've known that a loooooooong time ago.
Eden clapped so loud that my ears probably bled, because a carriage immediately showed up right when that happened. "Oh hello Miss Eden. It's nice to see you again. What may I do for you and your friends?", the driver asked. Okay. WHAT THE HELL?! Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Gray and me jaw dropped. This dude knew her? "Cousin Sebastian", she said. I face palmed. Nevermind.
"So, what time do we go? I wanna eat!!", Natsu complained. Lucy sighed. "Soon, Natsu. And like Gray said we aren't supposed to be enjoying ourselves. We're here on a job, not to fool around", she said.
The driver escorted us in the carriage, and drove off. Eden told him to drive carefully and slowly because of a passenger who had serous motion sickness. We all know who that was..."Hey Mr. barf bag, maybe try getting over that sickness for once? It's driving me crazy! When are you gonna learn to grow up?", Gray complained. "I kinda agree", I said, nodding. "Geez guys can't ya *retch* give it a rest?! I can't *retch* help it!", Natsu groaned. Eden patted his back. "Driver drive slow", she told him. What's with the one word sentences?! "You know, it's kind of annoying hearing the two of you idiots complain so much, how bout you get a room?", Erza said. "I'd rather be caught dead than be with this loser! Why don't you?!", Gray protested. "What was that?!", Erza growled and death glared Gray. "N-Nothing!!", Gray stammered. "Maybe you both should get a room", I said. "Ooooooooooooooh......", Eden said out of nowhere. "Anyone want fish? I brought some with me!", Happy offered. Everyone made a 'no, not this again' face. Including me. Sorry Happy, but my stomach sure won't be if I do that again. Happy pouted. "Okaaaaaay.....", he said. Eden tapped his shoulder. "Fishy", she said. Happy' sees lit up. "Really?! You really want one?!", Happy said excitedly. She nodded. "Here you go", he handed it to her. Then she nudged Natsu's arm and told him to cook it. She handed it to me. "Thanks....", I said. I bit into it. My eyes snapped wide. This. Was. Good. As. Hell! "Yummeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......", I dazed. Gray chopped my head with his hand. "Wh-wha...? What happened?", I don't know anymore. "You were talking like a crazy Happy", Gray sighed. Great. Somethings really wrong with me.
"We have arrived at our destination. I hope you had a pleasant time. Please call for me anytime for a ride, just clap as loud as you can", Sebastian bowed and drove off. "BYYYYYYYEEEEE!!", Lucy and Happy shouted. "So long Mr. Sebastian", Erza said.
We all turned around and almost fainted. It.Was.So.Huge. I couldn't believe it. "So, should we be going?", Erza said suddenly. Everyone started running besides me and Gray. We weren't really chipper. We're too awesome to be chipper about looking at some big hotel. Somethings been biting at me lately. Every time I'm alone with someone...I keep having these weird emotions in my head. It feels weird....like, I'm attracted to that someone. What's going on?
"Wow, I've never knew this place would be so high class and roomy", Erza said. "Yeah, no kidding", Lucy agreed. Happy looked around. "Hey, where's Natsu?", Happy asked. Everyone looked around and froze. "WE FORGOT HIM AT THE CARRIAGE!!", We all shouted well, almost all of us. Eden was signing us in. We dropped our stuff, and dashed outside. Luckily, we saw Sebastian waiting, carrying him under his arm. "Were you looking for him?", he grinned. All of us sighed for relief. "Oh gosh! You don't know how much we thank you for bringing him back. He's always so quiet while sick, and we get sidetracked and leave him sometimes. We're so sorry for making you go for all this trouble, Sebastian", Lucy bowed countless times. Talk about overkill. They leave him so much it's hardly possible we even try getting him back. "My my, there's no need to apologize my dear, it's merely a minor mistake. Some people even forget where their destination is, and they carry on riding. I'm glad I am for assistance for you and my cousin. Please, treat her well. And, give her this", he said and handed Lucy a large bag. "Thanks again Sebastian! So you said clap as loud as we can to call you right?", Lucy asked. "Well, if you can clap as loud as Eden I'm assure of it", Sebastian replied. And with that, Sebastian trailed off in the distance, the bright sun covering him with its rays.
"S-So...sick.....can't.....take it....anymore...*retch*", Natsu groaned wearily. I forgot he was still sick. But why?! He's not even on a vehicle!!
We went in the hotel and Eden already had our rooms ready for us. She told us it costed her about 80,000J (jewel), and we all felt bad. That's a lot of money for a whole group. I didn't know she had deep pockets.
Eden told us that the owner had only 4 rooms available, and that we should pair up. She wrote it down on a piece of paper:
