Lucy Heartfilia: Avenging Angel

What Will Mira Do

I was sitting there, talking to Levy when I felt a demonic presence behind me. Turning around, I looked to see Mira with her matchmaking smile. Oh no…

“Heyyy Lucy.”

“H-hi Mira! How are you?” I say with fake cheer to try to hide my unease.

“Lucy, I am wonderful! Just found my ultimate ship!”

I look at Levy with horror, only she isn’t there anymore. 

That no-good traitor! She left me to deal with Matchmaker Mira alone?! How could she?!

“A-and who would that be?” I say, nervous that she came to me to talk about this ‘ship’.

She takes my hand. Pulling me out of my seat, she led me to a storage room. 

“M-mira? Where are you taking me?”

“To tell you about my ultimate ship! I can’t just tell you with a bunch of people around, now can I?”

She didn’t need to know that me and Master had conspired so that Mystogan just-so-happened to be in the same room that I was taking her to, getting apples.

I pulled her along and opened the door.

“Mira, are you sure you know where you’re going? This doesn’t seem like a place where you would tell me about your ship…”

“Oh, it is! Go in, I’ll be right in! Promise!” Promise that I’ll succeed with this ship is more like it…

As soon as she walked in, I slammed the door and locked it. I heard a shriek.

“MIRA! LET ME OUT! THIS ISN’T FUNNY!”

“But this way you’ll learn who my and Master’s newest ship is!”

“What?!”

~~~~

Oh, I was soo gonna kill Mira next time I saw her! I guess I’m part of this ship… wait, did she say Master was in on this?! I groaned. When those two worked together, nothing was impossible.

I slowly turned around to get a look at my surroundings. With a start I realized someone was in the room with me. And that someone turned out to be…

I dropped my apple when I heard the door slam. I bent down to pick it up, not caring to see if anyone was in the room. Then I heard Lucy screaming at Mira about something not being funny. I only heard mumbles from the other side, but caught two words. ULTIMATE SHIP. I gulped and realized what was going on. Master had told Mira about Lucy straddling me.

I groaned.

Lucy turned around to look at me. She jumped, as if just noticing I was there. I guess she didn’t bother to look at her surroundings.

“Hey Mystogan. What are you doing here?”

I held up my apple in response, reverting back to my silent ways.

“Can I have one? I haven’t had anything since breakfast.”

I sadly shook my head, showing her that there was only one.

“Oh… maybe we can share?”

I guess that was okay. But it would be kinda awkward. I took a small bite and then gave to Lucy. She looked at me and took a bite right where I had bitten.

If we were going to around each other for a couple years, why not start sharing our food a bit early? I bit into the apple right where he had bitten. I had always thought the man behind the mask was interesting, but not knowing what he looks like kinda was driving me mad. He looked like he was attractive. I gave him back the apple and giggled when he made a point to bite somewhere other than where I bit.
