Emotionless

Hanging Out

Chapter 3

After Lucy was introduced to the whole gang, they immediately liked her. They invited her to hang out with them, she refused at first but eventually gave in. Lucy told the gang to go without her and that she'll catch up with them later. "Do you even know where I live, Luce?" Lucy faced Natsu, "Yes. You're hungry right? You better go now and stop calling me 'Luce' my name is Lucy." Natsu just grinned at her and said, "It's my new nickname for you. Are you really sure you know where I live if you do how did you know? Were you spying on me or something?" "Natsu, stop bothering Lucy. She said she'll catch up with us." Natsu whined and crossed his arms. "But Erza-" Erza dragged him and the gang went ahead yelling to Lucy 'You better come Lucy' or 'Hurry up Lu-chan'.

Lucy teleported herself home and grabbed a box filled with food before going to a dormitory. She ringed the doorbell and opened the gate. Plenty of kids came in rushing towards her. They greeted her and smiles were on their faces. Lucy wanted to smile but she couldn't, knowing the danger if she smiled, laugh, or cry. A nun came and smiled at her. "Ah, Good evening Lucy. Thank you for visiting the children again." Lucy turned to the nun. "No problem Sister Rena. I just came here to bring food to the children that's all." Sister Rena smiled to herself, no matter how emotionless Lucy is, she still has a heart of gold. She smiled once again as Lucy continued to talk the children.

After talking to the children at the orphanage, Lucy bade farewell to them and Sister Rena promising she'll come back and visit. Lucy looked at them and closed the gate preparing to go to the Dragneel mansion.

"Hey Luce."

Lucy gave an inaudible squeak and at that a gush of wind passed causing objects to fly around including the person who surprised her. The person was sent flying to a lamp post. 'Idiot. Surprising me like that. Now look what happened.' Lucy sighed and went to the person. Once she saw the who was it, she sighed once again. "What are you doing here?" The person simply looked at her with a confused expression while looking at the scattered objects that was thrown around. "What just happened Luce?" "You didn't answer my question Natsu."

Natsu gave her one of his infamous grins and stood up. "Well, we were getting impatient and was wondering what's taking you so long so I came to look for you. I didn't know you can be kind seeing how you rarely express emoti-Oww! What was that for?!" Lucy looked at him as he rubbed the sore area where she hit him... lightly. "Nothing. Let's go." Natsu looked at her confused. "What do you mean 'Let's go'?" Lucy stared at him with a deadpanned look. "To your house. Where the gang is waiting for us." It took seconds for Natsu to realize what Lucy meant and he smiled sheepishly. "Oh yeah. Well then, let's gooo- Wait... What exactly happened Luce? And why was I thrown like a fireball?!" "I don't know what happened Natsu. Stop asking me. Are we gonna go to your house or not?" With that Natsu grabbed her hand and ran swiftly towards the Dragneel mansion. Natsu pushed aside his thoughts about why was he thrown like a fireball or what caused that wind. He knew that deep deep down inside of him believed that Lucy knew something about it. For know they need to run before Erza gets impatient.

"Where on EARTHLAND are those TWO?" The gang was currently quivering in fear at Erza. Mira sighed at this, "Calm down Erza. I'm sure that Lucy and Natsu are on their way here right now."

"Well they better be! Once I get my hands on those two I'll-"

"The Great Salamander and his faithful sidekick has arrived!" Natsu yelled as he opened the doors with a large grin on his face. Behind him was Lucy with her usual emotionless look. "I'm no sidekick of yours Natsu." Natsu brushed off Lucy's comment and smiled at the gang. His smile faltered when he saw the dark aura surrounding Erza. "Wh-what up Erza?" Erza grabbed him by the collar with a demonic look on her face. "Don't you 'what up' me. Next time you'll be late I'll... Well let's just say you won't be able to use your fire magic for a MONTH." Erza released him and Natsu whined pointing at Lucy. "But what about Lucy, Erza? Are you not gonna scold her for being late or something?" Erza looked at Lucy then to Natsu. "I'll let it slide this time. Alright, what movie are we watching today... The Ring or A Walk to Remember?"

The girls(except Lucy) voted for A Walk to Remember but the guys complained saying that it was a chick flick. "How about we just watch The Ring?" Gajeel asked the gang and the boys murmured in agreement. "An excuse so that you can cuddle with your girls." The boys blushed in embarrassment at Lucy's words and were trying to protest about it. Juvia was imagining about cuddling with her 'Gray-sama' while Cana was complaining that she should be with her boyfriend right now. They eventually decided to watch The Ring(horror movie).

They had so much fun. Right now, Levy was cuddling with her sleeping boyfriend Gajeel, Juvia, Gray, Cana, Erza and Jellal had already went home, Mira and Lisanna watched A Walk to Remember including Levy and Lucy was sitting comfortably reading a book glancing sometimes at the flat screen television with Natsu sleeping on her shoulder. Lucy won't ever admit it but she had fun hanging out with the gang. 'This is only for one time. At least I'll be back to reading books and hanging out with Levy tomorrow.'

Lucy snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Mira, Lisanna, and Levy call her name. "Are you okay Lu-chan?" "Yeah. I'm fine Levy." Mira looked at Lucy worriedly. "We've been calling you for almost a minute now. Is something wrong Lucy?" "I was just thinking Mira." The three of them let out an 'oh' and smiled. Lisanna's smile got wider. "Well then, you know where to meet the gang after class. We're going to the mall." "Huh? What are you talking about Lisanna? Are you inviting me to go with you?"

Lisanna was about to answer when Levy began, "Yes Lu-chan. We can go and buy plenty of books or we could buy plenty of clothes." Mira, Lisanna, and Levy squealed at the thought of shopping. "You're part of the gang now Lucy. You're our friend so adventures, here we come!" Mira said while clapping her hands then continued, "We have only half day classes since there will be a council meeting so we have plenty of time at the mall." The three of them squealed once again. "I'm your friend?" "Yes Lucy, Lisanna and I like you. The gang likes you. It would be really nice if you come with us to the mall. Levy told me you hate shopping but don't worry we are gonna buy plenty of books too. So will you come?" Mira said with a pleading voice. "Fine, whatever." The three of them squealed once again. "Well I'm tired. Why don't we go home now Lu-chan?" Levy asked while she, Mira and Lisanna carried a sleeping Gajeel. Looks like dragon slayers are very hard to awaken. "I'll be alright. I need to clean this mess." "Just let Natsu clean it Lucy. This is his house after all. But I doubt Natsu cleans. "Lisanna told her. Lucy started to pick up the food scattered everywhere and she turned off the TV."I'm fine. You need to go home. Your parents are all waiting for you." The three of them finally agreed. "Don't clean the whole house Lucy." "Bye Lu-chan." "Goodnight Lucy. See you tomorrow." The three bade goodbye and went home. Lucy actually cleaned the whole house while Natsu was sleeping soundly on the couch.

After she was done cleaning, she decided to go home. She picked up her book from the couch Natsu was currently sleeping on. She was about to leave when Natsu shifted and embraced her in a teddy bear hug. Lucy thought of using her teleportation magic but she was too tired and the next thing she knew, sleep overcame her.
