Issues [Fairy Tail fanfic]

Chapter 54

"Date, date, date, date, date, date" Natsu chanted.

"Lucy shut the man up, you don't hear me bragging about going to next base with Erza this weekend" Jellal said.

At the same time, almost in complete sync, Lucy and Erza smacked their boyfriend's head.

"Zip it!" they yelled.

"It's exactly like we predicted, second Erza" Gajeel muttered shaking his head.

Natsu quickly bounced back from the hit unlike Jellal who just rubbed his head.

"So Lucy's when's our big date" he asked with eager eyes.

She didn't know why, but Lucy imagined Natsu as a puppy at that moment. Small ears standing up, his tail waving back and forth really fast, but most of all was his little puppy eyes. Lucy covered her mouth to prevent giggles. Natsu didn't notice and kept rambling on.

"I was thinking tomorrow, maybe we could go see a movie! Scratch that we might run into Erza and Jellal and I don't want that image in my head. We can go out to eat! Eating's always a great date!

"Sunday" Lucy said.

Natsu paused.

"Sunday?" he repeated.

Lucy nodded.

"But, but... that's in two days" he said.

Again Lucy nodded.

"But I want to see you in the dress tomorrow... or today" Natsu said.

"Sunday. Think of something Saturday and text me the time and place" she said.

Natsu frowned. His frown then turned to a pout as he shoved his hands into his pant's pockets and pretended to kick a rock to portray his sudden mood change. Lucy's eyes twitched for a second before she turned around. Damn him and that pout, damn it to hell.

"Sunday Natsu, I need to go" she said grabbing Wendy's hand.

"Wait! Weren't we going to celebrate?" Natsu cried out breaking out of his depressing trance.

"Yeah, weren't we?" Cana asked.

Lucy grimaced before slowly turned around. There her friends were, all grinning at her like mad men, Cana especially.

"How bout we celebrate by going to the strip club and watching this little baby" Cana said waving her video camera in the air.

Lucy shook her head, "how bout a no" she said.

"I'm in" Gajeel said. If they were going to the shitty coffee place, he wanted in.

And if Gajeel was going, Levy was sure to follow. With Erza as the leader she didn't want Levy to go alone so she agreed along with Gajeel. Very soon it was Lucy against the world.

"That is so unfair, you know I've quit drinking" she argued.

"Who says you have to drink?" Cana asked.

Lucy still refused to go, how could she? Sitting around watching all her friends get drunk while she just sat there, being unable to have fun. It would be like watching paint dry or playing with a stick in mud.

"Let's put it this way, you come and I won't post this video all over the internet" Cana said.

Lucy showed Cana her middle finger before she turned to walk away. Cana sighed, couldn't she take a joke? She thought lowering her guard. Suddenly out of nowhere Lucy turned around and snatched the camera out of her hands before running away with it.
