Happy Fathers Day! My Dad is currently running around my house with the hulk mask and Star Trek Phaser gun I bought him for the occasion.
I am so proud. Wait, nevermind. He just 'Hulk Smashed' my little brother into the wall...

~Levy's POV~
I opened my eyes to the smell of pancakes. Fresh, delicious pancakes. I flailed around in my bed until I ended up on my bedroom floor.
"Pancakes!" I squeal with delight as I trip over my still-half-asleep legs. When I finally get off of the floor, the smell in the air changes.
To burning.
I quickly open the door right when the fire alarm starts ringing in my ears. I used my hands to attempt to block out the sound.
I heard the sound of muffled shouts. Most likely of panic. I pushed my way past my door and out into the living room.
"WHAT THE HELL, SALAMANDER?!"
"NOT MY FAULT!"
"YOU SET THE FOOD ON FIRE!"
"YOU ASKED ME TO BAKE IT!"
"IN THE STOVE!"
"WELL, YOU SHOULD BE MORE SPECIFIC!"
I huffed in exhaustion. I heard the sound of water-a lot of water- and the alarm slowly faded away.
I opened my eyes and saw the familiar chaos of my friends. All of the guys were in our kitchen, completely drenched in water.
Juvia stood awkwardly a few yards from where I stood. She sheepishly added, "S-sorry, minna."
I ignored her, "What the hell happened?"
"WHAT THE HECK?!" I hear the sound of angry shouting from behind me. Erza's awake.
Lucy followed out of her own room, rubbing her eyes. "Why all the noise? Me want sleeeeeeep-"
"Mira needs her beauty sleep!" Mira came screaming out of her room, waving around a pink bat violently.
"Mira, where did you get a bat?" Lucy asked, slightly horrified.
"None of your business!" Mira snapped, "Now, who woke me up. And you better have a damn good reason." She pointed her bat at the crowd of terrified boys.
Natsu turned and pushed Jellal forward. He growled, "Why do I have to do it?"
"Just do it. And try to control your girlfriend!" Gray cried, hiding behind Gajeel. Erza had pulled out one of her swords and rage burned in her eyes.
Jellal nervously began, "Well, we-ur-wanted to, I mean, Gajeel wanted to bake some breakfast for Le-OW!" Gajeel punched Jellal in the arm, making him cry out.
He just keeps changing personalities. One point he's cool and flirtatious, the next he's a sheepish, adorable weakling.
Gajeel snarled, "I wanted to make breakfast for everyone. Right?" They all began to nod intensely.
Lisanna yelled, "Then why the alarm!?"
Gray perked up, "I can answer that! Flame Freak here burned all the pancakes."
"I did those pancakes a favor. Gajeel doesn't have a clue how to cook..." Natsu grumbled under his breath. He pursed his lips together and quickly dodged a punch from Gajeel.
"I didn't exactly have a dragon that could teach me to cook, now did I? You should know just as well as me!" Gajeel screamed back at him.
"Wait," I blurted out, "You don't know how to cook?" I began to chuckle at the thought of Gajeel in a Kiss-the-Cook apron.
"Shut up!" He cried, cheeks burning pink.
Mira's lips curled into a smile, "Y'know, Levy here is a pro cook. Maybe she could teach you?"
"Wait, what?" He asked, staring at me.
I shrugged, "I'm not the best, but I guess I could teach you how to make pancakes."
His eyes lit up, "Really?"

I tied the ribbon of the apron behind me. I snickered as Gajeel wore exactly what I wanted him to. He wore Erza's pink apron with little hearts all around it.
"Do I have to wear this?" He asked me angrily.
"Yes, it's a must for cooking. Without it then the food will taste like crap!" I said with a delightful smile.
He squinted slightly at me, "How does that even make sense?"
I covered my hand with water from the sink and flicked Gajeel with water, "Shut up. You look like a beautiful lady-man."
He wiped away the water, "Lady Man?"
"Yes, now grab the bowl from cupboard. The one on the left." I ordered him, pointing towards the cupboard that held the bowls and cups.
He left, grumbling inaudible threats and returned with a large glass bowl. He set it down gently onto the kitchen counter. "Now what?"
I thought that starting off with something simple for beginners would be easier. He still insisted on making pancakes for everyone, so I went out and bought boxed Betty Crocker Pancake mix.
I handed him the box, "Pour the stuff in here into the bowl." Man, did I have a skill in clear instructions. So informative.
Gajeel stare down at the box, a mix of horror and rage. He murmured something under his breath, and I could have sworn he said something like, "The batter witch."
He hesitantly poured the mix into the bowl. I grabbed two eggs from within the fridge. "Now, we will crack some eggs."
A handed him an egg and tapped my egg against the rim of the bowl. I cracked the egg in half and let the yolk fall into the bowl.
"Now, you do it." I side stepped so that Gajeel could get through. He looked worried. He slammed the egg into the bowl, forcing it to explode and yolk to splatter the walls. And me.
I wiped away a large glob of yolk from underneath my eye. I snarled before jumping on him, "GAJEEL!"

After we cleaned up the mess the punk made, we finished baking the pancakes.
"Gajeel, go get everyone for breakfast. They should be in your hotel room." I asked Gajeel. He nodded and scurried out the door.
I picked up the tray of freshly baked pancakes-non-burnt- and placed them onto the dining table.
I wouldn't be likely to admit it to him, but I had fun baking these things. And he wasn't that terrible of a cook.
Atleast not as bad as Natsu, I've heard.
Gajeel quickly came back with a crowd of hungry mages that I claim as friends. Natsu ended up pushing people out of the way so he could get to the food.
I smiled as they all began to scarf down all the food. I stood in the corner of the room, like a mom proudly watching her disturbing children eat.
I glanced to my side and saw Gajeel standing beside me, staring intensely at me.
He leaned closer, so our faces were only inches apart. Just like during truth or dare. My heart began to pound in my ears.
Gajeel then brought his thumb to his lips and licked it. He rubbed it across my forehead like we were in the Lion King.
He smirked at my blushing face, "You had batter on your forehead, Shrimp."
I stuck my tongue out at him, and he mimicked myself.
Our childish fighting was interrupted by a fake cough. Mira spoke, "Ahem. That was awkwardly beautiful for all of us, and I truly hate to interrupt, but we ran out of pancakes!"
