Chapter 1
Lucy P.O.V.
The guild was, as usual lively and full of well, fighting. At the bar Cana was holding a barrel full of booze and beside her, master was drinking from a mug. To the left of both of them, Mirajane was smiling and looking around the guildhall. Laxus and the rest of the Raijinshuu were all talking except for Evergreen. Speaking of Evergreen, if you looked to the side opposite to where the Raijinshuu is, she was (attempting) to hide away from everyone with Elfman. They were an interesting couple. Then over near where Mira was, was Erza eating strawberry cake. Gajeel was singing "Shooby doo bop" and Levy was watching him along with the hesitant Jet and Droy. Wendy, Carla, Happy and Pantherlily were all talking at a table. As usual Lily had his arms crossed and Happy was offering Carla a fish in which she would refuse. Finally I looked in front of me.
"What did ya say ice prick?"
"You heard me pyro!"
"Oh really droopy eyes?"
"Uh huh slanty eyes!"
And before you knew it there was ice, fire, dust and limbs being thrown around. That was, until Erza came. "Are you two fighting?" She asked with a demonic aura coming off of her. "Nope not at all! Right Natsu?" Gray stuttered. "Aye!" Said Natsu imitating Happy's catchphrase. Erza smiled "Good. It's great that you two are getting along." How come she didn't suspect them to be lying? Oh well it doesn't matter.
Erza started to walk towards me. "Hi Lucy, um how are your preparations for Christmas?" That's right; Christmas Eve was four days away. On the job board it said not to get any presents for anyone yet, so everyone was hanging around the guildhall instead. "Well there isn't much to do." I replied softly. Then Erza started to blush and then she turned away. "Erza?" She looked to her left then right then straight towards me. "Okay Lucy, the thing is, J-Jellal is coming to the guild tomorrow to c-celebrate Christmas with us and I-I'm super nervous about it." Erza said quickly. I nodded and held her hand. "Good luck!" She nodded and headed for the door. I smiled and turned to see Natsu and Gray fighting yet again.
"Oi! Lucy! How come Gray is more popular with girls?" Natsu asked both confused and angry. "Well" I giggled "He is pretty good looking and his habit of stripping shows his abs and stuff so girls think he is good looking. Plus he is pretty strong too." I said. Gray looked at Natsu with triumph. "Waah! Lucy! Do you mean I'm not good looking?" Natsu whined. "I never said that!" I screamed kicking him onto the floor. Oops. The guild went silent I blushed madly. Why would I say that? "Huh?" Natsu looked startled. "So you're saying that I'm good looking?" Natsu flashed me a toothy grin. I swear to god Lisanna was internally throwing daggers at me through her eyes. I huffed and stormed out of the guildhall, barely noticing that Mira was casting a magic spell on something. What was she holding?
I ate at a restaurant today, treating myself for my hard work. I started back home. Snow was circling through the air lightly. I decided to take a slightly longer way home so I could enjoy the snow. My coat was warm though I was wearing a skirt I had tights so I wasn't bothered by the cold one bit. I walked along the little ledge that separated the water from the sidewalk. I had Plue out with me so he could see the snow. He wobbled in front of me leading the way back home while I was lost in thought. The snow was light and soft, there was no storm and it wasn't that cold.
I heard someone shout, "Be careful Miss Lucy!" As they rowed past me. I walked up the steps to my apartment when I got inside I saw an extra shade of pink and blue in my bed. I was about to kick them out when I remembered the snow outside. It was almost Christmas, surely for the next few days or so he could sleep here without me kicking him out. I went to my bathroom and turned on the bath tap and relaxed.
After about an hour later I got out. "Oi Lucy you're here already? I didn't hear you come in!" Natsu was sitting on my bed with Happy still sleeping. "Natsu you pervert!" I hit him in the head. "Huh?" He looked up. I only had a towel on! "What? It's not like I've never seen them before." He turned his head to the right pouting. "Well at least turn around!" I shouted blushing. He turned around to face the kitchen area. I changed into a nightie then slipped into bed with Natsu. "Okay you can sleep now." I whispered falling asleep. Then it felt warm in the bed. And then there was a steady beat of snoring. And then I fell asleep to Natsu's snoring.
"NANI?!" I heard a blue cat and pink haired wizard shout. "Shut up you two, Lucy's sleeping." Said a scarlet haired wizard. "No she's not." Said a man with his shirt off. Everyone turned to look at me. Erza was sitting at my table with Gray and Natsu was, well he was still in my bed beside me. "Gray, clothes." I mumble "Gah!" And he runs around searching for his shirt.
"Erza what's going on?"
"Mira called everyone in the guild plus J-Jellal, to come to the guild."
"That can't be good." I sigh and got up. "Lucy," Erza came up to me with a stern look on her face. She looked behind her then whispered. "Did you and Natsu do anything?" I shake my head and blush. "Good, now put something on other than a see through dress." I look down, blush and run to the bathroom.
When everyone was in a seat in front of the stage Mira came on in her usual pink dress and she was carrying a small red bag. "Ohio minna-san!" Mira beamed. "Ohio." Everyone said monochromatically. Ignoring everyones annoyance Mira went on happily "You all know that Christmas Eve is now three days away, correct?" Everyone nodded hesitantly. "Well, I've prepared something very special this year, and it all starts with this bag!" Mira held up the red bag in her hand.
"Oh no." Lisanna started
"Mira you don't mean..." Macao added on.
"You can't mean..." Wakaba said.
"Nee-chan! It's not man!"
"Mira, you-you" Happy and Natsu stuttered.
"No way..." Gray looked scared.
"Mirajane! How dare you do this!" Erza unsheathed her sword.
"Huh? Oi Natsu what's going on?" I asked. He responded with assorted sounds, sweat and whining. That was all it took for me to be scared, it IS Mira we're talking about here. "That's right everyone! This year Fairy Tail will be having a secret santa!" I had a sweat drop on my head. That's it? That's what everyone is getting all nervous about?
"The rules are, you must have something that is around $25 no more no less. The exchange will be on Christmas Eve so you have about three days to prepare, then come to the guild at 8:00pm and exchange gifts whenever you want! Is that clear?" Everyone groaned and nodded.
Mira came around with a bag whenever someone pulled a piece of paper out they either groaned, blushed or were too shocked for words. When Mira came to me she held out the bag and smiled the most innocent looking smile ever. Nervously, I reached into the bag and looked at the name I got, Natsu Dragneel. "..." I understood why everyone was so annoyed. I should have seen this coming; it was another of Mira's matchmaking schemes. "I trust everyone will participate? If not please ask me and then I will decide your fate." Mira smiled but it sent shivers down everyones spine except for Erza.
Mira P.O.V.
Heh heh. This was a great idea! I should have done this years ago! Anyway that magic spell I put on the bag was genius! The spell was called 'same'. I casted it on the bag so that anything in it would look the exact same as the item I want it to. That's why everyone got whom I wanted them to get! The regular list was as follows:
Macao and Wakaba
Master and Mavis
Laxus and Pantherlily (ha!)
Kinana and Laki
Jet and Droy
The lovers list was:
Lisanna and Bickslow
Cana and Bacchus (a special guest!)
Evergreen and Elfman
Mirajane and Freed
Romeo and Wendy
Happy and Carla
Levy and Gajeel
Erza and Jellal
Gray and Juvia
Natsu and Lucy
I can't wait for all the drama! This is going to be one heck of a Christmas!
