Another one-shot that absolutely had to be written. I'm especially proud of this one, because it holds the record as the fastest story I've ever written, the time between when I first got the idea to the time I finished the final edit was literally an hour. :D So yeah, here you go, a Fairy Tail story. Oh yeah, the summary. "One-shot. Lucy's getting ready for a very important date, with the help of some of her celestial spirits. But nothing can ever go smoothly if you belong in a guild as crazy as Fairy Tail. Who is the lucky date? Well, that's what everyone's trying to find out." Spoiler: Getting Ready Anyone passing by the apartment of one Lucy Heartphillia heard the same amount of noise and chaos that they heard every time they passed by, but tonight, there was a completely different reason for it. “Horologium, what time is it!?” Lucy asked feverishly. “Ten minutes before six,” The clock spirit answered from his spot in the corner, to which he had been banished after making his young mistress “late.” Of course, how could he have been expected to know that for once, she had called him to be a clock instead of a case? It wasn’t his fault he had appeared around her automatically, trapping the girl inside and causing her to lose a few precious seconds. “Ahhh,” the blonde despaired. “It’s already five-fifty!? I’m going to be so late!!!” “Princess,” Virgo said calmly. “Please calm down so we can finish choosing your dress.” “Eep!” Lucy remembered. “I don’t know what to choose! Blue! No, wait, Red! Or...the white one is so pretty, too…” “Princess,” Virgo said. “I recommend the black silk with the diamond necklace. It makes you look like a queen of the midnight sky.” “Really?” Lucy asked, her pleasure at the compliment making her temporarily forget her worries. “Of course, it might be too fancy for a first date,” Virgo noted. “Wah!” Lucy wailed. “I just wish I knew where he was taking me!” “There would be no surprise in that,” Horologium noted. “Why does it have to be a surprise, though!?” Lucy fretted. “If I just knew where we were going, this would be so much easier!” “Princess,” Virgo said. “Perhaps you can wear the purple dress with the gray sash? It is sophisticated, but casual enough to show that you are not intimidated at the prospect of a first date.” “Oh… Okay,” Lucy said. “Purple it is, then. Horologium, what’s the time?” “Nine minutes before six,” Horologium reported dutifully. “AHHH!” Lucy yelled. “CANCER!!! DO MY HAIR!!!” “Don’t worry about a thing, snip-snip,” Cancer said with a grin, twirling his scissors the way a cowboy would in an old Western. “We’ll have you looking your best in no time.” He paused. “You have to sit still, snip-snip.” “Ooh, I’m so nervous,” Lucy moaned. “Why did I ever agree to this date?” There was a knock at the door. “HE’S EARLY!!!” Lucy shrieked. “PLUE! OPEN THE DOOR!!!!” “That’s strange,” Virgo noted calmly. “It’s not like him to knock at the door.” Plue opened the door, practically vibrating with excitement. “Hi, Lucy!” Natsu said with a grin, Happy on his shoulder. The room went silent. Natsu looked around in slight curiosity. “Eh?” He asked. “Why are your spirits all hanging out, Lucy?” “NATSU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!” Lucy screamed, kicking him in the face. “Ow!” The fire mage sulked. “What was that for? And why are you wearing such fancy shoes? The heel almost gouged out my eye!” “I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR YOU TO CRASH MY HOUSE TONIGHT!!!!” Lucy exclaimed. “GET OUT OF HERE!!!” “What’s the big deal?” Natsu asked unconcernedly. “Is Lucy going on a date?” Happy asked, turning to Natsu with an excited grin. “What!?” Natsu shouted. “WHO WOULD DATE LUCY?!” “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!?” Poor Lucy wailed. “What?” Natsu asked. “I just want to know who it is so I can make sure he’s good for you.” Lucy felt her jaw drop. “N-Natsu,” she said. “I can take care of myself! B-but it’s sweet of you to care… WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!” The two had closed the door and gone into the kitchen, and were now feverishly raiding the fridge. “I’m just so nervous for you, Lucy,” Happy moaned. “What if you have a horrible date?” “Yeah,” Natsu said. “What if he hates the way you talk with your mouth full?” “THAT’S NOT ME, THAT’S YOU!!!” Lucy yelled. “AND YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT NOW!!!” “Four minutes past six,” Horologium stated from the corner. “AGH!” Lucy yelled. “CANCER! FINISH MY HAIR!!!” “Hold still please, snip-snip,” Cancer said. There was another knock at the door. “IT’S HIM!” Lucy, Natsu, and Happy all shouted together, their eyes blank with anxiety, sweat dropping from their heads. Plue opened the door, and they saw Gray standing there. “IT’S GRAY!?!?!” Natsu shouted angrily, fire coming from his mouth. “HOW DARE YOU DATE LUCY, YOU JERK!!!” “Huh?” Gray asked with an eyebrow raised. “What are you talking about?” “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!” Lucy yelled at him. Suddenly, the window blew open and an angry-looking Juvia entered. “Juvia knew it,” she declared. “Lucy-san is a love-rival after all!” “I-It’s not like that,” Lucy moaned. “I don’t even know what Gray’s doing here!” “Juvia!” Gray exclaimed angrily. “Stop following me!” “Gray-sama is upset!” Juvia cried, the water falling from her eyes. “You’re staining my carpet!” Lucy despaired. “Juvia doesn’t care,” Juvia cried. “Gray-sama loves Lucy-san! Juvia’s heart is broken! She can’t help but weep!” “If you’re not dating Lucy,” Happy asked, his paw stroking his chin thoughtfully.”Then why are you here, Gray?” “I’m here because I was looking for Erza,” Gray said. “WAH!” Juvia cried. “Gray-sama loves Erza! Juvia can’t even hope to fight for his honor!” “Why would Erza be at my apartment?” Lucy wondered. There was a knock at the door. “HE’S HERE!!!” Natsu and Happy cried anxiously. The door opened without Plue’s assistance, and Erza walked in. “Oh, it’s just Erza,” Natsu said in disappointment, earning a glare from Erza, who didn’t particularly like the words “it’s just Erza.” “Erza!” Lucy whined. “What are you doing here!? I have to be getting ready!” “Ready for what?” Erza asked calmly. “Lucy’s got a date,” Natsu said with a happy grin. “It’s about time, too,” Happy added. “We were getting worried.” “Not helping,” Lucy muttered. “A date!?” Erza gasped, her eyes wide. “Where?! When!?” “It’s a surprise,” Lucy said. “I don’t know where he’s taking me. He’s supposed to pick me up at six-thirty…” “CLOCK MAN!” Erza shouted fiercely, turning and shooting daggers at Horologium with her eyes. “WHAT TIME IS IT!?!?” “Ten minutes past six,” Horologium stated. “WE’RE LATE!!!” Erza exclaimed. “CANCER, WHY AREN’T YOU FIXING HER HAIR!?!” “Erza, you’re making me even more nervous than I already am,” Lucy cried. “She has to sit still,” Cancer complained. “I can’t work with her when she keeps moving like this.” Erza grabbed Lucy’s shoulders and looked her in the eye, a note of determination deep within. “Lucy,” she said seriously. “You have to sit still.” “The entire evening depends on it!” Happy added. “And your chance at happiness in life,” Natsu offered. Lucy began to sob. “L-Lucy-san,” Juvia was sobbing as well. “I’ll still be your friend, even if you take Gray-Sama from me!” “I’m not dating Lucy,” Gray announced. Juvia jumped up. “THEN YOU DO LOVE JUVIA AFTER ALL!” She shrieked happily. “W-what!? No-!” Gray tried. There was a knock at the door. “OH NO, HE’S HERE!!!” Natsu, Happy and Erza all shouted, again, eyes blank with worry, sweat dropping from their heads. Plue opened the door, and Lyon strode purposefully into the room. Everyone’s jaw dropped. “IT’S LYON!?!” Natsu and Gray both shouted. “I’LL PUNCH YOU!!!” Natsu yelled. “I’LL KICK YOU!!!” Gray yelled. “PLEASE STOP FIGHTING IN MY HOUSE!!!!” Lucy yelled. “I’LL STOP THEM!!!!” Erza promised. “NATSU! GRAY! STOP THREATENING TO BEAT UP LUCY’S DATE! IT’S IMPORTANT TO HER AND SHE HASN’T HAD A DATE IN YEARS!!!” “I have too…” Lucy moaned. “AND HE’S NOT MY DATE!!!” “What are you doing here!?” Gray demanded. “I am here to defend Juvia from you, you cold-hearted ice-mage!” Lyon declared. “What!? You’re an ice-mage, too!” Gray exclaimed. “J-Juvia doesn’t know what to do,” Juvia wailed. “That’s alright,” Lyon said, putting an arm around her shoulder. “I’ll take care of you.” “HEY!” Gray yelled. “GET AWAY FROM HER!!!” There was a knock at the door. “HE’S HERE!!!!” Natsu, Happy, and Erza all cried once again. Plue opened the door. Gajeel stepped through. “YOU’RE DATING GAJEEL!?!” Natsu yelled. “BUT HE’S AN IDIOT!!!” “HEY!” Gajeel yelled. “WHO ARE YOU CALLING IDIOT, FLAME-BRAIN!?” “WHO ARE YOU CALLING FLAME-BRAIN, METAL-HEAD!?!” Natsu shouted back. “I’LL SHOW YOU, SALAMANDER!” Gajeel yelled, swinging a fist at Natsu. “IT’S ON, IRON BREATH!!!” Natsu shouted, swinging back. They both hit each other at the same time. Natsu fell back and was caught by Gray, while Gajeel fell back and landed on Wendy, who was behind him, knocking her to the floor. “Eep!” The girl cried. “Get him off me!!!” Natsu was already back on his feet, and began jumping up and down, shaking his fist at Gajeel. “GET OFF WENDY, YOU JERK!!!” He yelled. Gajeel rolled off of Wendy and sat up. “Sorry, girlie,” he said. “It’s okay,” Wendy said. “No it’s not,” Charle said from behind them. “You could have hurt her!” “It’s not exactly his fault,” Panther Lily said. “He was pushed.” “WHY ARE YOU ALL HERE IN MY APARTMENT!?” Lucy screamed. “Hmm?” Gajeel looked up at her. “Oh yeah, Salamander said we should come over and hang out tonight.” “He invited you over to my house!?” Lucy exclaimed angrily. “See, Gajeel?” Natsu said happily, already forgetting their spat. “I told you it’s always fun at Lucy’s place!” “Aye!” Happy agreed. “Don’t you think so, Charle?” Charle looked around. “Lucy, is this a good time?” She asked, ignoring Happy’s question. “NO!” Lucy said. “IT’S A BAD TIME!!!” “Lucy’s going on a date,” Erza stated matter-of-factly. “And you are not to interfere.” “A DATE!?” Gajeel exclaimed in worry. “WHERE!? WHEN!?” “Should you be that excited about this?” Lucy asked in worry. “Clock man,” Erza said, turning to poor Horologium. “What time is it?” “Nineteen minutes past six,” Horologium said. “Can I leave the corner?” “No,” Lucy ordered. Just then, Natsu took a swing at Gray, presumably for something Gray had said. Missing, he hit a vase of flowers which was sent crashing to the floor. “Actually…” Lucy smiled. A few minutes later found Natsu trapped inside Horologium, screaming to be let out, banging on the clock from the inside. “Is he hurting you, Clock Man?” Erza asked. “No,” Horologium reported. “But it tickles. ‘Let me out of here,’ He says.” “Sorry Natsu,” Lucy responded. “You’re causing too much of a distraction.” “Lucy, your hair,” Wendy pointed out. “WHAT IS IT, WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY HAIR!?” Lucy shouted. “It’s not done yet,” Erza said, summoning a mirror in place of her usual sword and handing it to Lucy. Lucy took it and shrieked. Half of her hair was arranged prettily, with little star pins keeping it in place, while the other half hung loosely over her shoulders. “CANCER! HURRY!” “I’m doing my best, snip-snip,” Cancer told her. “Princess,” Virgo said calmly. “Just hold still. You have the strength of the stars with you.” There was a knock at the door. “OH NO HE’S HERE!!!” Erza, Happy, and Gajeel all yelled anxiously. “Seriously, you shouldn’t be this excited,” Wendy bit her lip, looking at Gajeel. “HE’S HERE” he says,” Horologium reported, while inside, Natsu could be seen sweating nervously. Gray opened the door (he was closer than Plue) and Laxus stepped through. “LAXUS!?!” Gray, Erza, Happy, Gajeel, and Juvia all shouted. “LAXUS!?’ He says,” Horologium echoed. Laxus raised an eyebrow but continued, followed by Fried. “FRIED!?!” Gray, Erza, Happy, Gajeel, and Juvia all yelled. “FRIED!?’ he says,” Horologium reported. “Well, that’s a bit more plausible,” Happy noted. Fried blushed at the attention, and quickly moved to stand behind Laxus, while Bixlow entered the room. “BIXLOW!?!?!” Gray, Erza, Happy, Gajeel, Juvia, Lucy, Lyon, Charle, Panther Lily, Virgo, and Cancer all yelled. “That actually makes sense,’ he says,” Horologium stated. Inside, Natsu was cocking his head and looking thoughtfully at Bixlow, whose tongue was hanging down past his chin. “WHAT!?!?!” Lucy screamed. “HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE!?!?!” Bixlow moved into the room, followed by Ever. “Hello, everyone!” The girl said brightly. “We’ve crashed the party!” “WHAT PARTY!?” Lucy yelled. “WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING IN MY APARTMENT!?” “Well,” Laxus said. “Everyone’s always talking about the wild parties you throw here. When we saw everyone walking this way, we decided to join.” “IT’S NOT A PARTY!!!” Lucy shrieked. “Lucy’s got a date,’ he says,” Horologium stated. “Eeeh, how fun!” Evergreen squealed in delight. “You’ll have to tell me all about it!” “At this rate, it’ll be the worst date of the year,” Lucy moaned. “She’s right,” Happy agreed. “Not helping!” Lucy snapped. “Cancer! Please hurry!” “Hold still, snip-snip,” Cancer begged. “I’m almost done!” “Clock Man,” Erza demanded. “Twenty-seven minutes past six,” Horologium reported. “You’re running out of time,’ he says.” “When’s he getting here!?” Evergreen demanded. “Six-thirty,” Erza repeated, biting her nails. “And who is the lucky fellow?” Bixlow asked. “I… Actually, I don’t know,” Erza admitted. “Gray? Do you know?” Gray shrugged. “I’m not even sure what I’m still doing here,” he said. “Natsu?” Erza asked. “If it’s Elfman, I’ll kill him,’ he says,” Horologium reported. “Well, who is it, then!?” Gajeel demanded. Everyone turned to Lucy, who stammered. “W-well, it’s-” “DONE!” Cancer announced, holding his comb up in triumph. “LET ME SEE, LET ME SEE!” Lucy shrieked, grabbing Erza’s mirror. The star pins in her hair glimmered in the light, and the purple dress she was wearing made her cheeks look a rosy shade of pink. This paired with black buckled boots gave her a very contradictory style, but everyone smiled, figuring that she has a pretty contradictory personality anyway, so it worked. “Horologium!” Lucy said, putting the mirror down with a smile. “What time is it?” “Six thirty,” Horologium answered. “Good luck,’ he says.” “Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh,” Lucy rocked back and forth. “He’ll be here any minute!” ________________________________________________________________________________ “Clock Man,” Erza said lowly. “What time is it?” “Forty minutes past six,” Horologium said sadly. “I’ll kill him,’ he says.” Anyone looking at the anger on Natsu’s face believed him. “Calm down, Natsu,” Erza ordered. “Whoever it is must not deserve her.” “But still, to be stood up,” Gajeel growled. “I’M NOT BEING STOOD UP!” Lucy yelled, though they could see the fear in her own eyes as well. “So he’s ten minutes late, big deal!” “He’s probably left town by now,” Happy decided, with a sombre shake of his head. “He didn’t leave town!” Lucy declared. “Oh, sweetie,” Evergreen said. “Every girl’s been in your pretty shoes. If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me!” “I assure you, he has not stood her up,” Virgo defended. “Although even I am surprised at how late he is. It’s not like him.” “Do you think something could have happened?” Lucy asked the maiden worriedly. “Yeah, something happened,” Laxus said. “The jerk just doesn’t know a good thing.” “I’M NOT BEING STOOD UP!!!” Lucy yelled. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Loke stood in the center of the room, standing tall, with the protective air of the lion. “Oh good,” Erza said. “You’re here. Lucy’s been stood up! You must find the scoundrel before it’s too late!” “Loke will get him,’ he says,” Horologium reported. Loke looked around at everyone and the corner of his mouth twitched. “What?” He asked. “Ohh,” Lucy moaned, head in her hands. “How embarrassing.” “Lucy had a date tonight,” Happy explained. “And we’ve been waiting for hours,” Gajeel continued. “Poor Lucy’s heart is broken,” Evergreen stated dramatically. “And we’re not letting Natsu out for fear he’ll destroy Fiore,” Gray summed up. “But you have finesse,” Erza stated. “SO GO KILL THE DUDE-GUY,’ he says,” Horologium finished. “I’m afraid I can’t kill the dude-guy,” Loke said with a smirk. “Lucy would never let me.” “BUT HE DESERVES IT!!!” Gajeel cried. “FOR BREAKING HER HEART!!!” “Gajeel, you need to calm down about this,” Wendy said. “Guys,” Lucy said, looking up at them, her face red. “Loke’s my date tonight.” There was silence. “I did NOT see that coming,’ he says,” Horologium said. “What kept you, brother?” Virgo asked curiously. “Oh, um,” Loke ran a hand through his hair, blushing slightly. “I couldn’t decide on what to wear…” Lucy looked around and smiled at all her stunned guild-mates. “Thanks for helping me get ready,” she said, as she took Loke’s arm and they began walking to the door. Suddenly, she stopped in the doorway. “Wait a minute!” She exclaimed. “NO! I WON’T THANK YOU!!! YOU GUYS INVADED MY HOUSE, FREAKED ME OUT, INSULTED ME, AND ALMOST MADE ME LATE!!! NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I CAN’T LEAVE YOU HERE ALONE!!!” There was a mad scramble for the door (or in the case of Gajeel, Happy, and Erza, the window) and in only two minutes, the room was clear from all but Lucy and the spirits. Well, almost clear. “Can I come out now?’ he says,” Horologium asked, Natsu looking up at Lucy from inside. Lucy sighed. “Yes, you can let him out now,” she said. “Close: Gate of the Clock.” “Thank you,” Horologium said, disappearing. Natsu fell to the floor and stood up quickly. “Lucy!” He said. “Have fun! Good luck! Where are you going? Will there be food?” “NATSU GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!” Lucy screamed. “Alright, fine, whatever,” Natsu said. “Loke! If you treat her bad, I’ll… Well, I don’t know how to beat up a celestial spirit, but I’LL FIND A WAY!” “LEAVE NOW!!!” Lucy yelled, and Natsu jumped through the window. “I’m sorry I couldn’t do better, Princess,” Virgo apologized. “Virgo, you did fine,” Lucy said. “Thank you. Close: Gate of the Maiden.” Virgo disappeared. “I used extra special hairspray,” Cancer reported. “You’re hair will be the envy of all. Snip-snip.” “Thank you, Cancer,” Lucy said. “Close: Gate of the Crab.” Cancer disappeared. “So then,” Lucy asked, turning to Loke. “Where are we going?” “It’s a surprise,” Loke said. “Now close your eyes. We’re travelling through the spirit realm to get there faster.” Lucy smiled and closed her eyes, as the world was whisked away. Feeling solid ground under her feet, Lucy opened her eyes- just in time to duck out of the way of a flying chair. “What-?!” She looked around in surprise as everything in the room got quiet. “LUCY!!!!” Everyone shouted, crowding her. “YOU TOOK ME TO THE GUILD FOR OUR FIRST DATE!?!?!” She shouted, turning to Loke, who grinned. “What can I say?” He asked. “There’s no place like home.” “THAT’S THE STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARD!” Lucy wailed. Loke stood beside her and pushed his glasses higher with his finger. “But Lucy,” he said in that deceptively innocent voice. “This is the most romantic place in the world. It’s where I first saw you.” Everyone let out a collective “awwww!” <3 Lucy faltered. “T-that’s just another line!” She tried. Loke grinned sheepishly. “But it was a true one,” he said. Lucy sighed. “Fine,” she said resignedly. “Mira, dinner for two, please. And I will NOT be buying for anyone else!!!” She glared around at the rest of the guild, who all looked away innocently as if they hadn’t been about to deplete her life-savings. Lucy smiled. What a first date this would be.
Two-Shot Set in Edolas, after the Edolas Arc, features EdoNatsu and EdoLucy, with appearances from EdoEveryoneElse. Based on the Manga version, as I haven't seen this arc on the Anime yet. P-please don't laugh. XD This is my first story in this fandom, and I'm always nervous with the first. It was an idea that wouldn't get out of my head until it was written. To make it worse, this is the first site I'm posting it to, so I don't have any feedback yet. WHAT IF IT SUCKS!? Not to mention, here I have a bit of a reputation, I'm not some random author nobody knows. OH WELL, YOLO! Okay, now the summary. (don't know if I should include it, do peeps want opening summaries here? Oh well.) Lucy learns a long-overdue lesson about her partner and his self-worth, and decides to do something about it. Later, he just might repay the favor. Edo NaLu friendship, can be read as pre-romance if you want to. Spoiler: Good Job, Natsu Lucy walked through the doors of the Fairy Tail guild, marching straight to the bar and sitting with a frustrated growl. “I just don’t know what to do,” she exclaimed. “I really don’t.” Mira smiled patiently. “You don’t know what to do about what?” She asked. “Natsu,” Lucy said, as if it were obvious. “I don’t know what to do about Natsu!” Ever since the incident with the Anima, life had been hard for everyone. The new king had granted all the wizards pardons, but their status as a dark or light guild was literally the least of their problems. Without any magic in Edolas, the entire world was in chaos. Even the simplest of tasks became impossible, no one could turn on a light, there was no way to control the temperature, no one could use a stove. The land had been reduced to a lifestyle of lighting fires to keep warm and doing whatever it took to survive. King Jellal was doing his best to keep the peace, and indeed, the Capital was well controlled, but throughout the rest of the country, towns and villages were rioting, rising into rebellions, and causing major problems. As part of their pardon, Fairy Tail was commissioned to work with the Capital Army to help handle insurgents. While this gave the now-unemployed former-wizards new job experience, it was a very difficult lifestyle to get used to, and definitely easier for some than for others. “It’s not Natsu’s fault,” Cana said gently, having heard Lucy’s outburst. “Without his car…” “Without his car, he’s worthless!” Lucy stated. “I’ve tried, I’ve taken him on every mission I can afford to! He’s just a liability. Look what happened on the last mission!” Holding out her arm, Mira and Cana hissed in sympathy at the bright red burn over her elbow. With a sigh, Mira pulled a first-aid kit from under the bar and began treating the wound while Lucy continued to talk. “I can’t keep working if I have to take care of me AND Natsu,” she said. “It’s hard enough watching my own back without having to keep everyone off HIS six as well. And he’s such a wimp without his car! He can barely pick up a weapon, let alone fight with one! I gave him a chance. I just can’t do it.” “It’s all your fault, you know,” said a voice, and Lucy gritted her teeth in annoyance as Levvy, having overheard the conversation, sat down next to Lucy. “He wasn’t like this before you showed up.” “Now Levvy, that’s not fair and you know it,” Cana said. “It’s not all Lucy’s fault. There were all sorts of extenuating circumstances.” “What are you talking about!?” Lucy demanded. “What do you mean, he wasn’t like this before!?” “Well, he’s always been really shy,” Mira said. “But it was never to the extreme it is now. Not until…” “Not until the magic started running out and the king decided to disband all the guilds,” Levvy said with venom. “We all agreed to keep our magic, and we got labeled a dark guild.” “And then the hunting started,” Cana said quietly. “And we watched as one by one, all the other guilds were destroyed. All our alliances… all our friends… gone.” “And then YOU came,” Levvy said disdainfully. “And picked him out right away as your favorite target. THAT was sure gonna make him feel better.” “I was only trying to help the little punk toughen up,” Lucy defended. “Heaven knows he needed it.” Levvy scoffed. “Because with the stress of the Fairy Hunter always-” “Ahem,” Cana cleared her throat daintily, looking pointedly at Levvy. With their new position working with the army, they had all agreed to try and let bygones be bygones. “With the stress of Captain Knightwalker always one step behind us,” Levvy started over. “All he needed was the fear of being the victim of one of your ridiculous wrestling tactics at any given moment.” “It still wasn’t Lucy’s fault,” Mira said lowly. “It was the death of the Master that really pushed him over.” Everyone fell silent, as the four reflected on their Master and his death. He’d been protecting Fairy Tail, caring for his children till the very last. And he had truly cared for all of them like children, even Lucy, who had only been there for a short while. His death was still the biggest sting of all. “That was a very hard time,” Cana said. “For all of us. And we all handled it differently.” “Yeah,” Levvy said. “Natsu broke down and Lucy knocked him out.” “I was trying to help him get some relief,” Lucy said, glaring at Levvy. “Y’know, sedate him or whatever.” “All he got was a black eye,” Levvy replied. “I don’t remember you trying to help him, pipsqueak,” Lucy spat. “I don’t remember you succeeding, bottle blonde!” Levvy shot back. “Girls, please,” Cana interrupted. “Levvy-chan, Lucy was just trying her best. Lucy-chan, Levvy’s just on edge from her last assignment.” “Well, you got that right,” Levvy agreed. “Being official Fairy Tail liaison with the idiots of the Kingdom’s Research Department has got me wishing for the good ol’ days of the Shadow Team idiots.” As Levvy continued to complain about her new job, Lucy was thinking. Thinking hard and deep. She had only ever been trying to help. Natsu had been such a wimp when she had first shown up that she had been surprised he was even allowed in the guild at all. And with the entire wizarding community being hunted down like wild game, he had desperately needed to learn to take care of himself. He still did. Speaking of Natsu… “Where is he, anyway?” She asked suddenly, glancing around the room. “I don’t see him.” “He hasn’t come in since yesterday,” Mira said. “Great,” Lucy said with a snarl. “What mess has he gotten himself into now!?” “Lucy, you don’t need to worry so much,” Cana said. “What kind of danger could he be in?” “That’s just the thing!” Lucy said. “He attracts danger! I can’t let him out of my sight, because he’ll get into trouble and I won’t be there to get him out of it!” “Did it ever occur to you that maybe that’s part of the problem?” Levvy said coldly. Lucy growled. “What’s that supposed to mean?!?” She demanded. “Think about it for a minute,” Levvy said. “Every time he says something, you beat him up. And every time he’s in a fight, you rescue him before he even has a chance. If my partner humiliated me like that every day, I wouldn’t think I could fight either.” “What, you want me to let him get beat up!?” Lucy demanded. “No,” Mira said firmly. “We never let anyone beat up a member of our guild. Ever.” The uncharacteristic seriousness in her eyes silenced the girls for a moment. Then it was gone and Mira gave them a small smile. “Sometimes, though,” she said. “You should give Natsu a chance to fight before you charge to his rescue. You might be surprised at how capable he really is.” Lucy thought this over. “...Ugh, fine,” she said. “I’ll keep him on my team.” Mira and Cana both beamed, and Levvy huffed, rolling her eyes. “Whatever,” she said, standing up. “Just remember, he’s my friend too. As a mechanic, that car was a piece of both of us, and we built it up together. It kills me to see him brought so low.” “Aw,” Mira grinned. “I sense a love-story in the future!” Levvy sputtered and blushed. “W-wha! It’s not like that! Don’t you DARE try to play matchmaker here, Mira!” Mira smiled innocently, and Levvy stomped off, leaving Lucy with much to think about. Levvy had always hated her, almost right from the beginning. Maybe this was the reason why. But there were other things to deal with right now. She had to find Natsu, if anything just to know he was okay. Walking through town, she didn’t have to search long before she spotted Natsu, walking towards her. “Natsu!” She barked, immediately regretting it as she saw the familiar wince. How dare that jerk Levvy be so right about this? It just wasn’t fair. “H-hi, Lucy,” Natsu said nervously, a large purple bruise just below his eye. Lucy narrowed her eyes. “Where’d you get that black eye!?” She demanded. Natsu blushed. “I-it’s nothing,” he said. “Some guy thought I was a demon or something, and he hit me.” “...He what.” It wasn’t really a question, more a statement of disbelief. How could anybody think Natsu was a demon? How did that even make any sense!? Natsu shrugged. “I think it’s something the other Natsu did before he left,” he said. “What happened to the guy?” Lucy asked, glancing around as if the culprit were still around for her to sock. Natsu turned red again. “I, uh, knocked him out,” he said. “You?!” Lucy asked in surprise, once again narrowing her eyes at the slight look of hurt in Natsu’s eyes upon hearing her disbelief. This had been her doing? How had it escaped her notice? “Y-yeah,” Natsu said. “He ran at me and I-I dodged and tripped him. He hit his head on an iron railing. The police took him away.” He paused in reflection. “Captain Knightwalker suggested I wear a hood to avoid more confusion.” “Makes sense,” Lucy said. “G-” The word caught in her throat. She hated all this mushy feel-good stuff. “Good job,” she managed to say. “Good job, Natsu.” Natsu looked at her in surprise. “Huh?” He asked. “What are you looking at, Fireball?!” She demanded. No, wait, she was supposed to make him feel better, not worse. She took a deep breath. “I said, good job. That was quick thinking on your part. I always knew you could be strong if you wanted to.” She had just gone about the wrong way showing him. Natsu blinked, then smiled a half-smile. “Thanks, Lucy,” he said. Lucy decided he had a nice smile. She wanted to see it more often. “Now,” she said. “There’s a job on the board that I think would be perfect for us. We’re taking it. Meet me in ten minutes at the guild. Ten. Not eleven. Don’t you DARE be late.” She gave him her best stern look, and he smiled again, a bit more genuine this time. “Sure thing, Lucy,” he said, running off. Lucy smiled after him. Who knew he had it in him after all? Spoiler: Good Luck, Lucy Natsu was sitting at a table in the guild, talking with Gray, when Juvia came in. And as always happened when the girl entered the room, Gray lost all sense of everything else. “Juvia-chan,” Gray said, standing up and grinning helplessly. “Are you going on a job?” “Of course,” Juvia said cooly. “How else would I make rent?” “That’s right,” Gray said, saddened by her pointed sarcasm. “I should have guessed…” “Can you please take a few steps back?” Juvia asked, herself taking a step back from Gray, who was staring at her hopefully. “Oh, right,” Gray said. “Anything for you, Juvia-chan!” Juvia rolled her eyes, took a job notice from the board, and left. Gray took his seat next to Natsu again and sighed. “She’s the most beautiful girl in the world,” he said dreamily. Natsu smiled at his friend’s optimism. Who knew? Maybe Gray’s obsession would pay off sometime. “Did you say the most beautiful!?” Jet said, sitting down next to Gray. “No way!” Droy continued, sitting next to Natsu. “LEVVY’S THE BEST!” They both exclaimed, sandwiching Gray and Natsu between their Shadow-Team spirit. “I think Mira’s the prettiest,” Elfman said loyally from across the table. “Whatever, loser,” Jet said. “How can you be a judge of anything? You don’t even know how to do a mission properly.” “Yeah, why can’t you man up and do something right for a change?” Droy finished. As Elfman started to cry, Natsu frowned. He hated it when Jet and Droy teamed up on Elfman. And now that Lisanna was gone, there was no one to stand up to them. At least, that’s what he thought. “THAT’S IT!!!” Lucy’s yell startled everyone at the table, and Natsu wasn’t the only one to find himself cowering with his arms protecting his head. Peering up in fear, the five men spotted Lucy standing near the head of the table, sending her most terrifying death-glare at Jet and Droy, who nearly fainted. “I’m sick and tired of hearing the two of you rag on Elfman,” Lucy exclaimed. “Everyone’s trying their best, and you two make plenty of mistakes yourself. So shut. Up. Got it!?” Leaning over them menacingly, she glared, and the two members of Shadow-Team nodded. “Y-yes, Lucy-chan,” Droy stammered. “W-whatever you say,” Jet agreed. With a final glare, Lucy turned and left the table, moving off. As soon as she was out of earshot, Jet and Droy let out a breath of relief. “That was scary,” Droy stated. “So scary,” Jet said. “Lucy-chan’s the scariest member of Fairy Tail.” “Maybe even in Edolas,” Droy offered. For some reason, this struck Natsu as unfair. Moments ago, the other girls were being called the prettiest, the loveliest. But Lucy was the scary one. Of course, Lucy was really scary, Natsu knew that as well as anyone. But she was still pretty. How come no one ever saw it? Maybe… maybe she didn’t see it in herself? Natsu wasn’t sure where that thought had come from. But it all seemed to make sense, now that he thought of it. Lucy always acted so rough and tough, she always had to be the baddest in the room. Maybe because everyone else had their thing. Mira was the nice pretty one, Levvy was the spunky pretty one, Juvia was the cool pretty one, Cana was the ladylike pretty one, and Lucy… Lucy was scary. Lucy was mean. Lucy threw really hard punches. Natsu looked up as his friends had returned to their earlier argument of who was the prettiest, and he sighed. Somehow, it just wasn’t fair that no one even thought to add Lucy to the list. A few weeks later, the guild was swarming with excitement. The Capital was planning a festival to celebrate the success of a new steam-powered engine Levvy and the others had built, and as part of the festivities, the Fairy Tail guild was holding a beauty pageant, something that hadn’t been done in several years. As preparations were underway, Natsu and Lucy had set out to carry decorations to the town square. As they walked, Lucy was talking about all the different things that were going to happen at the festival. “There’s going to be a carnival,” she said. “Though, we still haven’t fixed up the amusement park rides with the new source. It’s mainly just going to be food stands and kiosks, and games! I’m gonna crush those games, and win lots of prizes!” The pure evil glint in her eye at the mention of “crushing” the games made Natsu nervous, but he was too excited to let it linger. The success of this new source meant they were one step closer to fixing his car, and it was a major step indeed. “That sounds fun,” he said pleasantly, the joyous theme of celebration keeping him from anxiety. “Yeah,” Lucy said, flexing her arms. “They don’t stand a chance against me! There’s also going to be a huge parade, and we’re all gonna be in it!” This… this brought some of the anxiety back. “Oh, r-really?” Natsu asked. “Could I maybe, just w-watch the parade?” “Nonsense,” Lucy said carelessly. “It wouldn’t be the same without you. You’re just as important as everyone else, you know.” Natsu felt his ears turn red. Lucy had been saying stuff like that for the past few weeks now, and he still wasn’t quite used to it, but it made him feel… like he really was. “Thanks,” He said with a smile. “There’s also the beauty pageant. L-” He caught himself before he said Levvy. He didn’t know why, but his two friends hated each other, and he wasn’t allowed to mention either of them in the others presence. “Everyone’s been really excited about it.” “Mmhmm,” Lucy said. “I guess Fairy Tail used to have them all the time, back before everything started going south.” “Are you going to enter?” Natsu asked without thinking. “Me?” Lucy asked with a frown. “Why would I do that?” Natsu, too caught up in the day’s activities to watch what he said, kept talking. “Well, you’re a member of Fairy Tail, after all,” he said. “And you’re just as pretty as they are, so I don’t see-” Lucy screeched to a stop and whirled around, and Natsu ran into her, dropping the supplies and falling backwards to the ground. “WHAT!?” She demanded, leaning over him and frowning ferociously. “Eek!” Natsu found himself facing the utter terror of Lucy Ashley, and he knew firsthand the pain said terror could unleash. “I- I’m sorry, I d-didn’t mean… well, I- I was just saying… Uh, I- I…” “Did you just say I was pretty!?” Lucy demanded angrily. Natsu winced and swallowed hard. “Y-y-yes,” He stammered. “Why would you say that!?” She asked, and Natsu risked a glance at her face. Surprisingly, she looked more confused than offended. This observation gave him courage to keep going. “W-well, you are,” He said, deciding to say it all at once and get it over with. “Y-you’re pretty and you’re s-strong, and y-you should enter the p-pageant!” Closing his eyes, he braced himself for a punch that never came. Once he stopped shaking, he opened one eye and looked up at Lucy, who had a strange look on her face. “Do you think I’d win?” She asked, and for a second, her brown eyes sparkled with the hope of such a triumph. Natsu blinked. Was he allowed to talk now? Which answer was safe? Would she hit him if he said yes? “Why did you hesitate!?” She demanded, a slight flush in her cheeks that he’d never seen on her before. “You just said I’m pretty! Why are you changing your mind now!?” “I- I- I,” Natsu tried. “I KNEW IT,” Lucy yelled, taking him by the collar of his shirt and dragging him to his feet. “YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO MAKING A FOOL OF MYSELF!” “N-no, that’s not it,” Natsu whimpered. “You’re beautiful, I swear!!!” Lucy dropped him. Natsu took several deep breaths to try and calm himself down, while Lucy said nothing at all, just staring at him. “Do you really mean it?” She asked him. Natsu looked up at her, and, giving her a nervous smile, nodded. “...Thank you,” Lucy said softly. Natsu stood shakily to his feet, still feeling too unnerved to relax again. He half expected her to change her mind and pummel him, but with the weird way she’d been acting lately, he wasn’t sure. “Y-you’re welcome,” He said, when it finally registered what she’d last said. Turning, Lucy continued walking in silence, and Natsu walked a few steps behind her, carrying the supplies and still trembling slightly. Right before they got to town square, however, Lucy stopped. Natsu stopped as well, and looked at her quizzically. Turning around, Lucy smiled the brightest smile he’d ever seen, her eyes sparkling with excitement and a worrying amount of competitive determination. “I’m gonna do it!” She announced. “And I’m gonna WIN!” With a squeal, she dropped her load of the decorations into Natsu’s box. “I’ve gotta go get ready!” She declared. “I’m gonna CRUSH Levvy and the others, they won’t stand a chance! You can handle things here. JUST YOU WATCH, I’M GONNA BLOW EVERYBODY’S MINDS!!!” With that, Lucy took off running, and Natsu smiled a small smile as she quickly disappeared from view. “Good luck, Lucy,” he said softly, though he knew. He knew she didn’t need any luck at all. She just had to be herself. So, even though I said don't laugh, still give me any criticism you feel I need to hear. I want to make this better!
Oh my gosh, Christoff is adorable! He's almost as awww as Edo-Natsu. And I was expecting to be really annoyed by Olaf, but I actually really liked him a lot. And Anna wasn't nearly as annoying as I thought she'd be either. And the reindeer didn't bug me as much as I thought he would. Basically, I thought I would hate it, but came at it with an open mind anyway, and ended up really liking it. Afterwards, I told my mom my little joke about how, being born in December and loving the snow, "the cold never bothered me anyway," and she casually mentioned that she had wanted to name me Elsa but my dad wouldn't allow it. O.O I was that close to it. XD
Just got a really obnoxious pop-up ad, yelling some annoying song about a can of Spam. The internet spammed me. It's only natural it would happen while I'm lurking the Spam-Zone.
The cat that was cheating on us all left before we could catch her and make her into dinner. I'm gonna miss that cat.
Now I've experienced the joys of being premium, made a new best friend, and talked excessively about Doctor Who. Thank you, KHV.
Only eleven more posts and I'll be eligible to get my first name-change. In fifteen years, I'll make premium.
Really, really long poem, literally 3 pages long. Hence the name. Wrote this some time ago during the true story it's based on, and kept it hidden away until lots of stuff calmed down. Now, I think it's safe to post (though it's not about ANYBODY here, so I'm not sure what I was so worried about in the first place). So, here you go. 3 Pages In and Still No Reply She got really low really fast one night So she decided to scream out and put up a fight She rounded up the people that she knew would bite And now she has to face up and make things right But it’s too late, they’re not answering her texts She’s chipping away at walls they built up to protect Themselves from her constant blame and quick deflects And I’m surprised they didn’t know what to expect. But instead it shocked them when it all came to light And the sight of her true form left them fleeing in fright And they were right, no one should have to deal with all that drama But she can’t see that it’s her fault, she blames her mama For the trauma and her daddy for the pain She blames her friends for the bandages covered in bloodstains She blames her roommate for the late rent and her speeding ticket on the rain And she throws it all away in the name of personal gain. She cries for them as she throws them out the door But it’s their money that she brings up even more Now that everyone’s packed up and left She curses them for leaving her broke and bereft She’s left all alone and she’s feeling betrayed She’s crying that they’ve wronged her and she wishes they’d stayed Even now when the worst of it is past She looks back on it and the blame is cast On those who left and rightly pulled out fast And she doesn’t understand why her friendships never last I tried to tell her that she played the wrong card, That if you lean too hard on people then the people fall hard But she never listens, she thinks she knows best And the rest of us are left being put to the test. She threatens to kill herself over the silliest things And no one ever knows what tomorrow may bring She bites the very hand to which she desperately clings We try to help her and hold on but boy, does it sting. So she goes on and she doesn’t have a clue Living every day until the day is through Cursing their names until her face has gone blue While she cries at broken pictures, she throws out the glue Because she doesn’t really know what friendship means She has no patience for sticking through the bad scenes She cries for them later but in the moment, she screams writing them off to keep looking for the friend of her dreams. The friend she wants will give her all of his attention ‘Cause if you don’t focus on her solely you must not have real affections. He’ll always be on facebook and he’ll write on her wall He’ll reblog from her tumblr and he’ll never miss a call He’ll text her and sing to her and never let her fall He’s handsome, he’s loving, and very very tall. One day she’ll wake up and realize he doesn’t exist Until then she keeps making new friends just to resist When they tell her things she doesn’t like, so she throws her fits And the next day tells the world that they made her slit her wrists. She bemoans her lost friends while she blasts their reputation And replaces them within days of the initial separation She says she’s going cautious to avoid future desolation But she throws herself at people so she can feel gratification. It’s a never ending cycle of abuse and high stakes She puts them on a pedestal to see how long it takes Before they fall and when they do, she kicks them while they’re down And demands they apologize as she watches them drown She cries and stamps her feet and she complains of her woes She takes mean jibes and she hits low blows She puts on pretty masks when she performs pretty shows And she ties up nasty packages in neat little bows She’s honey if you’re nice to her, and bees if you’re not She likes it when you please her, and one chance is all you’ve got Reward for love is little but her vengeance boils hot And is poured out for a lifetime while she drives you to rot And she’s convinced that she’s the only one to feel the break Because she can’t see past her own pity and heartaches Even those she loves don’t matter much in the end She leans on them so hard they either break or they bend She needs somebody solid on which she can depend And if you’re not “supportive” then you’re not a real friend But while she lambastes her enemies she worships herself She goes on and on about her trophy shelf Her list of good qualities is a mile long Loving, tender, dedicated, selfless, warm and strong Helpful, peaceful, wonderful, beautiful and joyful, A myriad of adjectives, powerful and plentiful But her best quality, says she, is her humility No seriously, she continuously spends her time reminding me How she thinks so low of herself and needs a bit of pity As she lives for herself and makes the most of the big city And she has no idea that I’ve built up a wall She has no idea that I cringe when she calls She has no idea that when she texts me, I stall She has no idea that I don’t like her at all. She thinks I worship the ground beneath her feet She thinks she’s my best friend, when I’m really feeling beat She flatters herself that she knows me inside and out When really she has no clue what she’s talking about And so she keeps on living, telling me how smart she is. And how silly I am. And how wrong I am. And how great she is. And how sorry I’m supposed to feel for her. And exactly why I should feel sorry for her. And how mean everyone else is. And how all her dearest friends hate her now. And how it’s not even her fault, she couldn’t help herself. And how they’re supposed to be understanding and forgiving. And how her teachers hate her and make her fail. And how her classmates are idiots and make her fail. And how everyone betrayed her. Poor her, mommy betrayed her too. And I’m supposed to be supportive and understanding and forgiving, So unless I agree, I’m being hateful. And if I talk to any of her “So called friends” I’d better be careful. Because they’re all crazy and abusive and they won’t take care of silly little me like she does. And don’t I know, she cares for me, because I’m a good obedient little friend. So why haven’t I texted back yet? Didn’t I get her facebook message? Didn’t I see her blog? And her facebook message telling me about the blog? And the text reminding me to check my facebook messages? Why haven’t I responded yet? Don’t I want to be her friend? Or did I just say that when it was good for me? Because everyone betrays her eventually, and she doesn’t know why. I know why. But I can’t tell her that, because she’s “sensitive” and I don’t want to have the world see me tagged in posts about _______ not being understanding and supportive and how the ______ (and you know who you are but she won’t name names, just tag you) can go ____ myself in ____ for all she cares and it’s my loss and it’s my fault and when her roommate finds her dead in the morning, well, I can know it was at my hand. And so my hand is forced, and I plaster a smile on my face as in my head I’m considering the positives of getting rid of my unlimited texting as it’ll give me an excuse to avoid her. She’s driven me from Facebook with her constant butting in. Making underhanded remarks she thinks I can’t understand. Because silly little me, I have no idea what that means. Silly little me, of course I don’t, she’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, she’s said so herself. “so are you busy now?? because i really want to talk to you and i need somone to listen to me because im mad and hurt and crying and if i dont have someone tell me how great i am im gonna kill myself so can you please tell me how much ive helped you and how great i am becuase someone called me a _____ today and that’s what my mom calld me so it took me back there and i told them to ____ off but I’m feeling wordless again how dare they call me that so tell me how great i am thanks” “*worthless* sorry stupid autocorrect” Oh boy, here we go... Let’s see how long I can get away with avoiding this...
She spoils me. I love limes. Like, really, I love 'em. Lemons too, but I prefer limes. I like to cut a lime into fourths and then eat them like an orange slice. My aunt has a story of when I was a baby, she asked my mom if she could give me a lemon slice to see me make a sour face, and I just ate it happily. (This same aunt forever cured me of brain freeze by feeding me ice cream so fast I cried. I don't remember it, but thanks to her, I don't get brain freeze no matter how fast I eat or drink cold stuff.) But aside from the side-note, my teeth have been all but stripped of their enamel due to a lifetime of eating limes and lemons like most kids eat candy. Finally, I gave them up last year to save my teeth further pain, and I was doing good. Yesterday, my mom went and bought lemons to use in a recipe for tonight's dinner, and as there were limes right there, picked up five huge ones and bought them as a present for me. Now my teeth feel incredibly thin. Even the broccoli is making them have a slight ache. MOM Y U DO DIS TO ME?!?
My mom's birthday is tomorrow! No time to order anything online, and I can't go to the city today. That leaves a small town of antique shops, and if I hop a bus, I can get to the Walmart a few towns over. Advice?
So I was eating an apple, and I looked down, and there was a miniature version of the Crack in the Universe on it. Like, literally. It was the perfect shape, just really small. Then I looked away, completely forgot about it, and ate it. Whatcha think will happen to me after eating the Crack in the Universe? Am I in any danger of having the Pandorica open in my stomach? Because I am feeling a bit unwell now. Though of course, that might be because I just got over being sick for a week and have been eating non-stop all day. But yeah. Crack in the Universe in my apple.
Or at least, me and my sisters do. My mom very recently turned old and hit the stage where she's always like "TURN THAT OFF OR DOWN OR SWITCH IT TO SOMETHING ACTUALLY WORTH LISTENING TO!" (it took her awhile to get there because she married young and rocked the 80's need for music as long as one could be expected to). But she has the tendency to only let us listen to three or four certain bands after she gets "noised out." So now, trying to find something new to listen to after one album ended, I jokingly suggest Brony Dubstep, thinking she'll refuse and make us turn on John Rueben or Owl City like usual. AND SHE AGREES! And not only does she agree, she insists- INSISTS! That we start off with Sweetie's Big Race. "That one really grows on you," she states. Bronies, you have successfully won over someone I would never think could be won over. You deserve a prize for that.
I was just sitting there admiring my Finn Hat, minding my own business and eating cereal, blasting 80's hits through the speakers, and Dancing Queen comes on. My little sister comes running out of her room, wearing a red 20's flapper dress for no apparent reason, and starts singing the parody "Disco Girl" lyrics from Gravity Falls. I'm starting to think the people in town are on to something.
My sis and I have certain dynamics where we'll begin acting like different people or characters. Mainly characters. We're Shawn and Gus, Murdock and Face, Gibbs and DiNozzo, Phineas and Ferb... I mean, individually speaking, we're not all these characters, but when we're together, we're so in sync that we've been asked if we're twins (we also pull a Dipper and Mabel every now and again). But just now, we were Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. And then we realized she was wearing a purple shirt, and I commented that she was even wearing his color. We both laughed- then realized that I'm wearing my black t-shirt with a glow-in-the-dark Arc Reactor. I swear, we don't plan these things.
Maybe the "No wimps allowed" hi-rev mocha-french vanilla blended coffee wasn't such a good idea.
Because Muppets are cool. Like all the other threads of this type, how well I know you affects which Muppet I give you. OKAY GO.
Anybody know him on some other site or on facebook or something? I was just wondering because I've been thinking about him a bit lately because I was playing Taboo with my fam and the word was Scar and my sis used "Mufasa's brother" to get us to guess and now I just keep thinking "Be Prepared!" And like, I was just wondering if anybody's heard from him lately.
Watching Hoodwinked for the billionth time. Before you ask, I'm not complaining. It was my suggestion. It's among the few movies I could probably quote word-for-word, along with The Incredibles and the complete Star Wars Original Trilogy. It's my personal opinion that Hoodwinked never got the infinite respect it was due, and the sequel was utter garbage. Flippers: "What's with the handcuffs on a little girl? Her wrists can slip right out. How about a cage?" Bill over the radio: "BRING IN THE CAGE!!!" :D Flippers: "I was being sarcastic." Bill: "Sarcasm, strike the cage..." :( Radio voice: "Awwww...."
She kept trying to steal my pizza, and I kept pushing her away from it, and then she stole half a slice of pepperoni pizza from my plate in the split second I wasn't looking. I took it away from her and threw it away, and then she started trying to go after my chicken bacon ranch pizza slice. I held her at bay for awhile, but then I looked away for a second, and she stole that too. So, altogether, I got one slice. Good thing I wasn't hungry. Now she's going after my coffee. This cat is weird. XD
So my fam always opens presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas morning. One of my gifts was Sims three. That game is super addicting. So then I woke up this morning, and it was already January second, and I hadn't done anything since Christmas Eve. Suddenly, I remembered that I had to walk downtown and pay a bill, so my sis and I did just that. And the sky was pretty, and my sis pointed it out. So I said "ad furtum thesaurus in caelo," which is the motto of my pirate crew here on this site. It means "to steal the sky's treasures," at least, it is if the English to Latin online translator I used told me the truth. Then I suddenly stopped and realized "OMG, I HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE IN LIKE, FOREVER!" And then I was all disappointed because I missed my own crew's Holiday Party, and New Years. And then when I was at the store, somebody commented on the hat I was wearing, which has a Heartless symbol on the side. That's a sidenote, but it made me happy. :) ANYWAY. So I got some coffee, walked home, and here I am. So, hello everybody! What'd I miss? :)
