Author's Corner :
SSD: MWUAHAHAHAHA...I have discovered a lovely app on my phone that allows me to type a word document, coming to you from my work!
Lucy: *dark evil glare* SSD...
SSD: yes?
Lucy: Lucy Kick! *SSD goes flying* I can't believe you on this chapter! It was supposed to be for someone special!
SSD: So what if it wasn't ideal, not like you had sex or anything.
Lucy: it was still a special moment and you ruined it!
Cana: Oh come on, Luce, it wasn't that bad.
SSD: See? Cana agrees with me. Speaking of, mind doing the disclaimer so we don't keep the readers in suspense too long?
Cana: Sure thing. Silverserpentdragon doesn't own Fairy Tail or its alcohol stores, and named characters not owned by Hieo Masuhita-
Lucy: Hiro Mashima
Cana: What she said, are thereby owned by her. Any theft is liable to have me go after them.
SSD: Thanks, Cana. Onward!

Chapter 8: A Morning to Remember
Lucy groaned, grasping her head as a blinding,
pounding throb grreted her. "I should know better than
to...owww...drink with Cana...why didn't Azule-nee stop us?"
The thirteen year old froze as she felt an arm encircle her waist and her eyes fearfully twitched that way. Thankfully she felt clothes on her, so nothing happened. [I'm still a teen...that would've been way too-] "KYAAAA!" Lucy scrabbled to the wall and punted her bed partner out of said cushiony area.
A feminine groan echoed up from the floor. "Luuuuce...did you have to kick me? I was sleeping good..."
Lucy twitched fiercely. "Cana...what are you doing in my bed?"
The brunette sat up, missing her skirt but thankfully still with underwear on, and propped her chin on the mattress, eyeing Lucy lazily. "Oh, come on, you don't remember? We came back to your place after Azule-nee saw me skimming beers. Then we went to the stores, took some wine bottles and came back here before the Ice Queen caught us." She grinned slyly at her. "I still haven't found your Laxus shrine yet, we were too busy drinking and making out."
Lucy nodded absently. "Oh, that make...WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAKING OUT?!" Her bulged and her face turned sheet white.
Cana smirked. "I really didn't know you had it in you. I think it went along the lines of offering you practice so you don't mess up with Laxus and you jumped-"
"I didn't! I wouldn't! You have any idea how much trouble I'd be in if I dated before I was 16?"
Cana laughed. "Lighten up, it was just a few kisses, maybe a grope or two, but nothing criminal. You and me both are still growing so it's not like it's a real thrill."
Lucy glared at her and then rolled over to sulk in her sheets. "...it was supposed to be special..."
Cana sighed and stood up, sitting on the bed. "Lucy-"
"You can see yourself out...I just want to be alone for a bit..."
Cana winced and looked at her worriedly. "Alright, Luce...I'll head over to the guild so...you know where I'll be if you need me..." She gathered her skirt and put it on with her shoes before exiting to go to her own room.
Lucy huddled under her sheets and shuddered, racking her brain for any images from last night. Then she groaned in shame as she remembered in hazy flashes.
Flashback
Lucy, Natsu, Happy and Cana entered the guild, the Card Mage kicking the door open. "Hey, Azule-nee! We've got a Firstie here!"
Azule glanced over, frowning as she took in Lucy's dejected state. "First Kill, huh? Drink's on me, Lucy." She poured a shot of whiskey and slid it over to the depressed mage.
Lucy stared down at the amber liquid. "...isn't the drinking age 15?"
Azule smiled. "For guild-aligned mages. Even then, First Kills get a free pass to get pissed." Her gaze turned stern. "I am not approving of this, but it's a tradition."
Lucy nodded and knocked the shot back. She then hunched over, coughing and sputtering as the alcohol burned down her throat. "Oh god..."
Cana grinned. "Good feeling, right?"
"It's horrible! I'll pass on the rest, Azule-nee." Lucy shuddered and passed the glass back to Azule.
Cana reached over and grabbed the whiskey bottle. "Come on, Luce, teammates join in too." She took a pull straight from the bottle.
Azule gave the Card Mage a glare. "Not you, alchie-in-the-making." She plucked the bottle back.
Cana pouted. "Oh come on! Way to bring the mood down."
"The mood is already down, we don't need you making things crazy."
Cana leaned back exaggeratedly as she whined. "Laaaame!"
Azule nodded in thought and then mixed up a different drink for Lucy, passing it to her. "Try this, it's a strawberry daiquiri.
Lucy took a sip and grimaced. "Strawberries shouldn't taste like-" Cana swiped the drink from her and drank it down. "...are you going to keep stealing my drinks?"
Cana grinned. "The ones you don't like, yeah."
Azule twitched and an ice mallet formed in her hand, dropping down on Cana's head. "You still have another few months before you're 15, missy"
Cana grumbled as she picked her head back up. "It's just going to waste otherwise..."
Lucy shook her head. "It's fine, Azule, she can have the rest."
Azule grumbled. "Fine. I'm not giving any to Natsu, though, I rather like the guild hall still standing and I'm sure Master would as well."
Lucy snorted, remembering one time Natsu did get drunk in the future. "Yeah...that's a good idea...Hey, where's Kalia at?"
Azule slid over a different drink, another that didn't pass Lucy's taste. "She took a solo delivery mission. It's a ways out from the main rail lines so she won't be back until tomorrow."
Cana sighed. "Oh well, more booze for us."
Azule gave her a glare. "Only until Lucy cuts it off, you hear?"
Cana let out a whoop. "Bring on the booze!"
The rest passed in a blur, different drink after different drink getting stolen by Cana when Lucy rejected it after a taste. Later, Lucy sipped at a deep red wine, batting away Cana's reaching hand. "Nooo...mine..." The blonde pouted and curled her arm protectively around the glass.
Azule raised an eyebrow. "It took long enough to find something you'll drink. Let me know when you want a refill."
Cana pouted, still not feeling a buzz. A devious grin then crossed her face. She slunk down off the stool and slipped away as Lucy busied herself with her drink. The blonde slumped on the counter lazily, feeling slightly dizzy. She blinked as Cana tugged her away sometime later.
Cana smirked. "You...can't hold your liquor much, can you?"
Lucy smiled, cheeks flushed a rosy color. "Nope! You know that, Cana." She giggled and hugged the Card Mage as she was led outside.
Cana blinked and stared. "Yeah...you are so gone, Luce." She smirked and way, I snuck a crate of that wine you were drinking, let's head back to Fairy Hills and get a real party started."
Lucy giggled. "'Kay, oooh, I can bring Quari-nee, that'll be fun"
Cana looked at her oddly. "Okay, you need to walk on your own while I take the crate." She patted Lucy's back, sending the blonde into another giggle fit as she picked up the case.
Azule stuck her head out, a wary look on her face as she glared and spotted Cana. "Cana! You get bavk here with that wine, young lady!"
Cana panicked and started running back to Fairy Hills. "Move it, Lucy! The Ice Queen is after us!"
Lucy swayed a bit as she ran after the brunette, giggling.
Cana panted as she braced herself on the wall. "We are...so...in for it...tomorrow..."
Lucy giggled and took out her keys to unlock her door. "Tada! Home!" She wobbled to the sink and turned it on. "Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!"
The mermaid spirit crossed her arms as she looked over Lucy disapprovingly."Lucy...what are you doing?" She leaned in and took a sniff. "Are you drunk?"
Cana grinned. "Nah, she's on her way there, though. Care to join us for a girls' night? I brought wine."
Aquarius stared at the girl hard before smirking. "Alright, I thought it'd be a while still before this, but whatever." The spirit pulled out a cork popper and gestured for a bottle.
Lucy plopped down with three regular glasses, not having any wine glasses. "Heee, this' ll be like old times with Erza and Mira and the others." Lucy giggled.
Cana blinked. "Luce...this is the first time I've been in your apartment."
Aquarius frowned, watching Lucy carefully as she opened a bottle and poured glasses for each of them. "Lucy, what happened these other times?"
Cana glanced at Aquarius in confusion as Lucy shook her head. "Nah. Never mind, you'll think I'm crazy. There's no such thing as time travel!"
Aquarius looked alarmed as Cana laughed it off. "Get real, Luce, of course there isn't!"
Lucy sulked. "But you should tell Gildarts, I got a second chance with my dad, he should know since he doesn't right now."
Cana looked creeped out. "Uhh...right, I'll do that. Say, I did say I was gonna find your Laxus Shrine." She grinned and got up, not noticing Aquarius staring thoughtfully into her wine. "Let's see...where would I hide candid shots of a guy..." She crawled under the bed and looked around.
Lucy flailed and fell on top of Cana. "No! No shrine!"
Aquarius smirked. "Oh, already lining up potential boyfriends?"
Lucy shook her head rapidly and then swayed. "Urgh...no...Laxus was sad, I don't want him to be sad again. I want Cana-chan to be happy with her father. I don't..." She sniffled and started bawling. "I don't want to never see Quari-nee again..."
Aquarius blinked, looking thoughtful before floating over and hugging the crying teen. "I won't, I promise. If it makes you feel better, I'll see about trying to find a way to open my own gate, alright? I won't leave you, urchin." She ruffled the blonde's hair.
Cana shifted awkwardly and wiggled out ftom under Lucy. "Maybe we should get her to bed, she's had enough. Maybe you can tell me what you know about Luce though?"
Aquarius picked up her owner and tucked her in, removing her shoes. "Or, I'll just take that wine and leave." The mermaid turned and grabbed four bottles before vanishing to spirit world.
Cana blinked. "...that was just mean, I can't get buzzed on two bottles!" The brunette grumbled and looked at the tossing Lucy. "Still awake, Luce?"
"Mrn..."
Cana crawled into the bed beside her and lay down. "So...what do you think of Laxus?"
Lucy wiggled a bit. "Jerk. But he's nice, inside. He just doesn't know it yet. He needs someone to draw it out once he vents."
Cana unabashedly pressed for more. "What's he mad about?"
Lucy yawned. "Everything...he thinks we're weak because we weren't pushed like he was...Ivan didn't deserve Fairy Tail, Laxus does...Laxus will be a good Guild Master one day."
Cana grinned. "Oh he will, will he? Where do you think you'll be then?"
Lucy didn't answer right away. "Doing what I always do, cheer from the sidelines. Cana, I'm sleepy."
Cana rolled her eyes. "One last question, Luce. If you could kiss someone, who would it be?" She smirked, thinking she got her on this.
"Zzzz..."
Cana facefaulted right onto Lucy. "Really, Luce?" She blinked as Lucy hugged her and then nuzzled into her hair. The Card Mage flushed as her face was then pressed right into Lucy's covered chest as the other girl hugged her tightly. "Gah! Lu-cy!" She finally broke free and breathed deeply, looking down at the sleeping girl. She flushed again for different reasons. "Lucy...you really are..." She blushed as she glanced down at the blonde's lips. "A small taste...yeah..." She leaned down slowly...and lightly pressed their lips together before backing away, clutching her chest.
Lucy grimaced her sleep, hand coming up to wipe her mouth and Cana sighed in dejection.
"Never mind, Luce...don't know what I was thinking..." She kicked off her shoes and skirt to get more comfortable before laying beside Lucy again. "Night, Luce."
End flashback
Lucy winced. "...stupid, of course Cana was just teasing you. I'll have to apologize to her later." She grimaced as she spotted a wine stain on the carpet and groaned. "That's not coming out..." She quickly got dressed and ran outside to catch up to Cana. The blonde breathed heavily as she made it to the guild and looked around, spotting a dejected brunette. She smiled a bit and walked up, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, Cana? I'm sorry about this morning, I tried remembering last night and...I should've realized you were only kidding."
Cana grinned nervously. "Yeah, just kidding..." [So...she really was out of it and doesn't remember me kissing her. Whew.]
"Although I had a weird dream that you kissed me. No offense, I like you and all, but I'm 100% for guys."
Cana faceplanted her table and quickly righted herself with a teasing grin. "Yeah, 100% for Laxus."
"Ri-I told you it isn't like that!" Lucy swatted her laughing teammate before grinning as well. "You know...since you seem so keen on getting me with Laxus, does that mean you actually like him?"
Cana sputtered, flushing as she remembered how her heart raced watching Lucy sleep. "No way, it would never in a million years work out. Besides...I kinda have my eye on someone, but they'd never like me back like that..."
Lucy blinked. "Oh. Well-"
"There you are!" Azule stalked up, emanating a dangerous aura as she grabbed Cana by the esr and dragged her off. The brunette yelped and tried scrabbling away to no avail. "You are in big trouble, Cana, especially now that I know who's been stealing from my bar!"
"Azule-nee! It wasn't me...well, some of the time."
"We're discussing your punishment with the Master."
"Lucy! Save meeeee!
Lucy shook her head and pretended to ignore her. She smiled. [It really is fun being here...not worrying about the troubles we had in the future.]

Author's Postscript :
SSD: A somewhat late update, but it's harder typing on my phone...and I had to deal with a bitch cat. *glowers at freshly cleaned and slightly dsmp sheets*
Lucy: You had to make me think things were worse and...is Cana crushing on me?!
SSD: The dice took an odd turn when I rolled pairings...it was bound to happen. Don't worry, you're safely together with Laxus.
Lucy: That's go-I don't like him like that!
Laxus: What's the matter, Blondie? Am I too much for you? *smirk*
Lucy: *glare* So not dealing with him right now. Roger, br a sweetie and take care of the mean lightning man, okay?
Roger: *squeak*
Laxus: *laughs* Blondie, that's a rabbit, what's the worst that c-...what the fuck?! *zaps away hurriedly*
Lucy: *smirk and feeds Roger a carrot* Good boy, Roger.
Roger: *squeak*
SSD: *shudder* What was I thinking when I decided that...anyway, see you all next time. There will be a bit of a time skip so Lucy heads back to the manor for a visit. Bye!
