Chapter 22: The Date and Spies
Hello minna~
I was freaking bawling thanks to Mashima. For those who read or know what happens in the newest Fairy Tail comic, I am here for you.
I send you a virtual hug and food.
All rights to the person who, instead of giving us NaLu, ripped out my heart and stomped on it. Thanks Mashima!

~Natsu's POV~
I sat next to Gray on the couch. We stared at the clock without saying anything to one another.
"It's been ten minutes since they left, can we go get ready?" I interupted the silence. Gray turned to me, his normal self slowly returning.
"Hell yeah, Flamebrain"
-------------------------------------------
We snuck behind the many buildings of the resort, heading in the direction of the restaurant our friends should be dining at.
Gray and I looked like the criminals we usually fight on missions. We both wore tan trench coats that fell all the way down to our shoes. We had the collars of the coats turned up and wore a sand colored fedora, similar to Jellal's.
We hurried down the alleyway and turned the corner. Gray tapped my shoulder, "We're almost there. I can see it up ahead"
I followed the direction he was looking and saw a small fancy-looking restaurant. In big cursive letters, the building read: La Restaurant De Mer.
What that means, I have no idea. But it sounded funny! We pressed our backs to the walls of the building, careful not to be seen, and headed towards the fancy place with the weird name.
Once we reached there, we served the area for an open window where we could spy on our dear friends. There was one in the way back that gave us the perfect view towards them.
Gray and I crouched down behind a few bushed and positioned ourselves so that we were able to hear and see them and not the other way around.
"This will be fun..." I whispered to myself.
-------------------------------------------
~Levy's POV~
We sat down at a large round table in the way back of the restaurant. I sat beside Gajeel ,and Jellal and Erza sat across from us.
On the wall next to our table was a large set of windows that opened to a view of the seashore.
I could have sworn I just saw the bushes in front of the window move. I shrugged the thought away and focused on my.... date.
Gajeel fiddled with his thumbs underneath the table. He focused intensely on them, not looking up for a second.
Jellal and Erza nervously glanced at him, then back to me. "So Levy, what type of magic do you do?" Jellal asked me.
I lite up at the thought of making this night any less awkward. I smiled and replied, "I am a Script Mage. I have the ability to write and rewrite spells and objects. I can do this type of stuff a lot quicker thanks to your team! Thanks again for giving us our second origin!"
Jellal laughed and raised his hands into the air, "It's no big deal, really! With what happened with your training, it's the least we could do to help. Fairy Tail helped Ultear, Meredy, and I tun back to the goodside. Your guild really is amazing!" He placed his elbows on table and gave me a pleasant smile.
Jellal was someone entirely different from what I heard about from the Tower of Heaven incident. This Jellal was kind and caring. Even humorous and modest. I'm glad our terrifying friend finally found someone good.
I glanced over at Gajeel, who finally stopped with his thumbs. He was switching stares of confusion to Erza, then Jellal, then me. "Second origin?"
I mentally face palmed myself, as did Erza, "How did we forget to tell you about training!"
We began to tell Gajeel about what happened during our 'training month' before the Grand Magic Games.
"So it all started when Team Natsu, Jet, Droy, Juvia, and I went to the beach for training." I began.
I was then cut off by a smirking Erza, "Gajeel, I have to say, you really pissed off Levy here," She gestured towards me, "when you didn't take her training with you and Lily."
My cheeks began to burn as Jellal and Erza began to laugh. I saw a slight smile appear on Gajeel's lips, "I did, huh?" He turned to me and grinned, "You missed me?"
"N-no! I didn't miss you! And I was super happy when I got to go with my friends and not you!" I huffed at the dragon slayer. My cheeks were puffed out and I must have looked like an angry gerbil.
Gajeel threw his head back and began to laugh, "Little miss sunshine missed big bad me?!" He clapped his hands together as he began to wobble in his chair.
"I did not! And you should stop doing that, you look like an idiotic walrus" I gestured to Gajeel's awkward 'walrus' clapping. To my surprise, he stopped and returned to his normal self.
"So what else happened?" Gajeel asked. We told him about the guys freezing and destroying the beach and Gray and Natsu's many competitions. We told them about our party in the spirit world, and how we missed an entire three months of training. And finally, about Jellal and the second origin.
I noticed that while talking about when we met up with Jellal's team, Erza and Jellal got rather quiet. "That reminds me, where did you two disappear to?" I remembered them sneaking off while we were being forced to get our Second Origins.
"I-.....We.....uh" Jellal and Erza stuttered together. Both of their faces became unbelievably red at the topic.
Jellal began, "It was nothing! We just went and talked about...er....the games!" Erza frantically nodded in agreement.
"Really? That's not what Happy or Mira told us." I smirked. They froze.
"M-Mira wasn't with us..."
I nodded and began to explain, "Yes, but Happy was. He said he saw you two kissing on the beach and then Jellal made up some lame excuse about, I think it was a girlfriend?"
Jellal interrupted, "I said it was a fiancé"
"Gotcha!" The night continued like that. Each pair finding out embarrassing stories about one another and sharing them with the others.
Things I Learned:
1. Gajeel wanted to be a country singer when he grew up and practiced with Metallicana.
2. Jellal was pretty much like Natsu when he was a kid, before the whole incident.
3. Erza was a sissy when she was little. Not a joke, she was a sissy and a cry baby. Unbelievable, right?
I kept hearing weird noises from outside, and some familiar sounded voices. Not just one, like five.
Before I could investigate, we got to the dreaded topic. "So girls, from what I heard from the Fire Freak and Ice Baby, on this trip you girls got drunk."
"Really, I want to hear that story!" Jellal laughed.

~Natsu's POV~
"This is so boring!" I complained to Gray, who sat quietly beside me and listened to the couples' conversation.
"Just shut the hell up and listen!" Gray hissed at me. I rolled my eyes and looked around me, regretting coming here in the first place.
That's when I noticed three other figures about five yards from where we were. They were wearing the same thing as us and were in a similar listening position.
That's when I noticed their hair. One figure had short and choppy blue hair, another had long, straight, white hair. And the final figure had blonde hair that I could smell from where I was sitting.
I tapped Gray's shoulder, "Look over there." I pointed at the three cloaked figures.
"You're kidding me. Are they serious?" Gray whispered in an annoyed toned.
I crouched closer to them and whisper-yelled, "What the hell are you girls doing here?"
They all looked back at me and gasped. The blonde one, who was unmistakeably Lucy, whispered, "Shit, Natsu! I-I mean," She straightened herself and her voice became an octave lower, "Hello young sir. We were just strolling by here and..."
I decided to tease the girls, "Then how did you know my name?"
Lucy, in her man voice, stuttered, "Oh, well, you're a famous Fairy Tail wizard and such. Of course we know who you are!"
I rolled my eyes and leaned against the bush, "Y'know, Luce, you always were a terrible actress."
"EXCUSE ME! I AM NO-" Mira covered Lucy's mouth with her hand.
"Baka! Do you want us to get spotted?" Mira hissed at Lucy. Juvia was behind her, shaking her head.
Lucy was removed from her grasp and apologized for her sudden outburst. Juvia turned towards us.
"Juvia wants to know why you two are here." She stated.
Gray interrupted, "We asked you first!"
Mira shut the two up by giving them both a chop to the forehead, "QUIET! We were probably here for the same reason as you. To spy on JeRza and GaLe."
"You need to stop with the weird names, Mira." Lucy sighed.
"never!"
"You guys just couldn't leave us alone!" We all turned and saw four furious friends leaning out the window.
"Crap."
"FLEE!" Juvia and Gray screeched. We followed their orders and sprinted away from the cursing Erza.
