Lucy's Birthday

Traitor

"Happy? What should I get Luce?"

"How should I know?" said Happy. "I'm not the one sleeping with her every night."

I said nothing. To be honest, I liked sleeping next to Luce even when she kicks me out of her bed every morning. Literally.

The shop door opened and closed. A girl with short white hair walked in.

"Oi Lisanna! Are you participating in the contest?" I asked.

"Nah, I'm still getting her a gift though."

I relaxed a bit, "Oh good! You're a girl. You know what girls like. You can help me!"

"Sure!" she said.

I lifted up a pair of jeans, "Do you think she'd like these?"

"Those are for guys."

I picked up my favorite peanut-butter-chocolate candy. "Maybe chocolate?"

"She's allergic to nuts."

"How about this necklace?"

"Natsu, that's a dog collar." 

"Maybe this weird toy o-"

"OKAY NATSU! THAT'S ENOUGH!" she face-palmed.

I groaned, "Then what do I get her?" 

Lisanna looked up at me as if I was hopeless and sighed. "You don't have to get her something like that. You could always buy her flowers or something of sentimental value."

"That's a good idea. Thanks Lisanna!"

She smiled, "Anytime." 

Happy passes buy a few seconds later, a receipt and a bag in his hand.

"You're participating?"

Happy turned around, "Sorry Natsu, but I really want that prize."

"Traitor," I muttered. I marched towards the exit.

"Hey, Natsu!" Lisanna called. I turned around to face her. "You be good to her."

"Of course," I nodded, confused.

What was that supposed to mean, be good to her? I've always been good to Lucy. She is my best friend after all.
