Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
A/N: Here's the second and last chapter of the cake story. I guess this chapter will most likely be shorter. I hope it's still funny though. Enjoy!
All four of us were just lying around lazily. "Should we really go on a quest?", asked Natsu.
"I don't wanna get up now.", said Gray. I nodded.
"Come on! I bet it will be awesome!", grinned Erza enthusiastically, but showed no sign of getting up. "We don't have to go all out." We sighed.
"Okay.", I said lazily. We stood up and walked to the door. I checked for my key and locked the door. When walking to the guild, I didn't walk next to the canal; I would most likely have taken a bath.
"What do you want to do? Slay a monster?", asked Natsu.
"Working as a waitress again would be nice. We can wear those awesome costumes again!", I said.
"Natsu in a suit really is a pleasant look.", smiled Erza.
"Yeah.", I said dreamily.
"I don't find this idea thrilling.", complained Natsu, but after a stern look from Erza he shut up.

After a few minutes we walked past a bakery "I could totally eat a muffin now.", said Erza.
"Yeah, they must have a delicious fire there.", said Natsu dreamily.
"Stupid flame brain. If you eat the fire, they can't bake muffins.", chuckled Gray. We joined.
"Yeah, Natsu, you can't eat the fire! I want muffins!", yelled Erza. We walked into the shop.
"Welcome. What would you like?", greeted us a baker at the counter.
"Muffins.", said Erza with a joyous look on her face.
"Fire.", said Natsu with the same expression.
"Natsu, if you eat the fire, there won't be any muffins! And I'm sure the fire is expensive.", I grinned.
Natsu looked at the baker. "How much is the fire?"
"We don't sell our fire.", sweatdropped the baker. Natsu looked a little sad. "How many muffins do you guys want?"
"Four. Because it's Natsu, Lucy, Gray and me.", smiled Erza.
"Of course.", said the baker.

We left the shop and happily ate our muffins until we arrived at the guild. We opened the doors and headed directly to the quest board, Erza went to Mira instead.
"Hello Mira! Could you please give me some of your Recreation Tea?", smiled Erza. Mira looked confused at her.
"Recreation Tea? Sorry, I have currently none.", said Mira with an apologetic look. Erza nodded and walked towards us.
"Have you picked a mission?", she asked.
"Yeah. They want us to help a few hours in their diner.", said Gray.
"Okay. Mira! We take this one.", said Erza and gave her the flyer.
‑
We went to the diner. This time we weren't at Yajima's place. The diner itself was slightly bigger; a couple of people already sat inside. We entered through the backdoor.
"Hello. We're from Fairy Tail, we've come to do the quest. I mean, the job.", said Erza.
"Yes, yes…you'll be waiters and waitresses. The outfits are in the lockers over there, they should fit you all.", greeted us a man in an apron, probably the chief. He left and we dressed.
"You look good, Gray. As long as you don't go all chipmunks.", nodded Erza.
"You mean Chippendales.", I laughed.
"Really? I could have sworn they were called chipmunks. Or was it cyperpunks?", thought Erza aloud.
"That would be Blade Runner.", butted Natsu in.
"Oh, I have yet to see that.", said Gray.
"My mother told me not to run with blades.", I joked.
"I do.", said Erza somewhat surprised. We all laughed, even though Erza probably didn't know why, she was just laughing with us. "Let's go."

We started to work. Gray amazingly kept his clothes on – for now – and we all chuckled sometimes when dealing with customers. Suddenly someone ordered cake. Erza picked the slice up to carry it to the customers, but halfway through she looked longingly at the cake and took a bite. Within a few seconds she had devoured the cake and went back to kitchen. Everyone, guests and we three, looked confused.
"I bet this cake was delicious.", Natsu blurted out.
"I can't eat anymore cake.", I moaned.
"Me too. But some meat now…", said Gray.
"Yeah.", nodded Natsu.
"I think it's time for our break.", I said and we dropped everything immediately and went to the kitchen, leaving the customers alone.
‑
"What are you doing?!", yelled the chef as we entered.
"We're on break.", I said.
"You can't take a break all together!", he yelled back.
"Then we're on strike.", said Erza.
"You can't go on strike, you're mages!", he spat.
"We can, and we will.", said Erza firmly and opened the fridge.
"What the fuck are you doing?!", he screamed.
"Don't worry. Send the bill to the guild. Now, what to eat…", she said and looked through the fridge.
With a disapproving look the chef barely contained his rage. "I want a steak, make me one.", said Natsu. the chef looked as he'd kill Natsu any second, but then sighed and started grilling a steak.
"I'd like a steak, too.", said Gray.
"And I want lasagna.", I said.
"Excuse me, what?!", said the cook.
"Lasagna, like I said.", I repeated. He sighed again. He seemed to have realized that he had no other choice than to cook it.
‑
After a tremendous amount of eating, we were all full; it was amazing how much ate in a few hours. "A nap would be nice right now.", sighed Erza. She was still high as fuck; we were nearly normal, although pretty exhausted.
"Yes.", I said drowsily.
"Well, then you just have to close you eyes and –", said Erza and fell asleep. I giggled and closed my eyes, falling asleep.
‑
It was a rude awakening a few hours later. Somehow the cook had let us sleep, but at closing hour he cooked us out, with an enraged face. We decided to head back to the guild. When we arrived, the Master was waiting for us, with an angry look on his face. He held us a lecture and told us to pay the bill (it would be a constant gag in the next few weeks).
We all headed to the counter. "Some of Mira's Recreation Tea would be really amazing now.", said Erza. We all agreed.
"Four MJ's Recreation Teas.", I said to Mira. She giggled and went to the kitchen to brow us the tea.
A/N: Well, that certainly was short, but I still like it. I hope it was funny and not too confusing. Maybe there'll be another story like this, but that will probably take some time.
