April fools again!
Come on, I'm not that heartless, just annoying.......
(Please don't leave the chapter cause I did this, I'll stop now.)
anyway, just wanted to say I'm sorry for not updating, I know it's been some time, but I've been having writers block, and writing the billiards game was tedious at its best. It might be slow at the start of the chapter, but it'll get better in the end.
Also, I kinda rushed this, so there might be some mistakes cause I didn't take as long as I usually would with editing, I did it in like one go. So if you see any mistakes, please tell me and I will fix them.
This chapter will mainly be a rufvra, lories, and miraxus chapter. It will have small parts of cheve, rowen, and cobrana! Enjoy!
Anyway I just wanted to mainly give these characters some time! Anyway, let's get on with the chapter!
.........
Romeo's pov.
Me and the gang where just walking to the game room, chatting with a friend.
Sadly, I only had Eve to talk to, not a cute girl.
" So, Romeo, how jealous do you think my brother Hibiki is?" Eve asked as I chuckled.
" hm...... Probably a lot. " I said thinking. Hibiki always love the ladies, even though he has a girlfriend, poor Jenny.
" I know right." He said laughing.
"Sooooo, Eve. How freaked out do you think my dad is?" I asked him.
He chuckled at the thought.
"I bet he's gonna be wasted as he freaks out how your a contestant on a tv show for the next 2 years, and also will be sobbing about how his little 'Rom-ro' is becoming a man and is gonna be married." Eve laughed as he emphasizes my stupid nickname.
I blush and glare at him.
"Shut up!" I shout glaring at him.
I thought the others where ignoring us, but then I heard a few giggles from behind me.
I turned around to see Wendy and Cheila Marvel giggling at us.
Greeeeeeeat, now the only two girls my age here know my super embarrassing nickname. Thanks a lot Eve!
I blush as I glare at Eve.
"S-sorry, we shouldn't be laughing. " Wendy whispered as she stopped giggling.
"Yeah, sorry little Rom-ro." Chelia said giggling.
My blush darkens as Wendy gives me a apologetic look.
"Chelia, it's not funny. If anything, I think it's sweet that his dad has a nickname for him." Wendy said defending me with a sweet smile.
I felt my heart pound a little at that.
She seems really cu- I'm mean nice! She seems really nice!
I realized I was staring and turned away.
"Come on Wendy, lighten up, I was just joking with Rom-ro." Chelia said giggling.
Eve was smiling as I looked down blushing in embarrassment.
I'm so killing Eve for this.
"Okay, Che-Che." Wendy said grinning.
I looked up immediately after she said that.
" did she just-?" I thought out loud.
I look and see Chelia blushing and glaring at Wendy.
"What the h*ll Wendy?!" Chelia shouted embarrassed.
I think she did.
"What's wrong Che-Che- mmph!" Wendy started but Chelia covered her mouth blushing.
Yup, definitely did.
"Alright, alright, I get it! I get it! No more messing around with Romeo. Jeez. You never let me have any fun." Chelia said blushing as Wendy just giggled.
" that's because you always tease people." Wendy said.
Chelia huffed and walked away as Wendy gave me a wink and followed her.
I felt my stomach turn when she did that. She's really nice, and really cute- I did not just think that! Ignore that readers!
" well their cute." Eve said grinning.
I gave him a glare and walked ahead of him.
I'm still p¡ssed at him for telling them my secret.
I then stopped walking.
Wait! Now Wendy knows my embarrassing nickname! Can this get any worse?!
Well she did say it was kinda sweet.
Wait, why do I care what she thinks?! So what if this is the first time in a while when I actually got to hang out with cute gir-
I mean I dated girls before, even more then hibiki has........
Did anyone buy that?
Wait, who am I trying to lie too, myself?
" what, your not still mad about the nickname thing are you?" He asked, interrupting my thoughts.
I looked at him and gave him a glare, but then I sighed. He just laughed sheepishly.
I seriously need new friends.
I then looked over at Wendy and smiled.
Hopefully we can be friends. Otherwise I'm stuck with Eve.
.............
Kinana's pov.
We finally made it to the game room! I'm soooooooo excited!
"So, why don't we partner up, there are two pool tables, and there is six of us. So two pairs can verse each other, and one pair of partners can face each other. How does that sound?" I asked the others.
They nodded and then paired up.
Wendy immediately asked Romeo, who said yes. This angered Eve and Chelia, who then partnered up.
Which means that leaves me and....... Eric!
I walk up o him and give him a smile.
" you ready to play, partner?" I asked him happy.
He just grunts and walks towards the table.
Well he seems nice!
" Excuse me miss! Can we verse Wendy and Romeo?" Chelia asked as Eve glared at them.
Maybe it's friendly rivalry.
Ooh! This can give me a chance to talk to mister hanging out by myself in a quiet room is cool! Note to self, I need to think of a better name for Eric.
"Sure." I said, not really seeing a problem with it, or thinking it through.
"Alright! Prepare to get your butts kicked!" Eve shouted as they ran towards the table, I then went to my own table and gave Eric a grin.
"Do you play?" I asked.
"Only when I'm bored." He replied as he chalked his pool stick with his back turned to me.
I'll say it again,
Well he seems nice.
I grabbed one myself and then line up the balls.
It's kinda awkward, mainly because he doesn't talk much.
I probably should have thought this through.
"You ready?" I asked.
"Sure." He mumbled.
Yup, should have thought this through.
"Okay, then let the games begin!" I said as I tapped the white ball, it then rolls across the table, only to clash with the other balls I aligned, I see a stripe ball go in.
"Looks like your stripes." Eric said unenthusiastic.
I looked at him and puffed my cheeks out in anger.
You know, I'm starting to think he's not actually having fun!
I glare at him as I go to hit the next stripe, but I miss. On purpose. It's now near the solid cover ball near the hole.
There, that should make this easy and fun for him.
" aw man, I can't believe I missed that! Well, oh well. Here you go." I told him.
I watched him closely with a smile.
Have fun, have fun, have fun!
He then stared at me weirdly, but nonetheless he walked up to the table.
I just stood there smiling, yaaaaay! He's gonna do it!
There was only one problem.
he shot it the wrong way!
Aghhhh! I can't even lose on purpose to help him out!
I hit my head against the wall.
Well, that failed.
" well, that failed." He said blankly as he stared at me.
He's a mind reader!
He gave me a weird look.
Wait, that's just stupid, he can't read minds..... Right?
Anyway,
I just sighed and took the stick, then got another ball in.
I can't make it look like I'm purposely trying to let him win. I thought as I bit my lip, then missed again.
We repeated this scenario a couple of times, we finally stopped when I won, he got none of the pool balls in. Not. Even. One.
" I can't believe this!" I shouted in shock.
" congrats, you won." He said blankly leaning against the wall.
I then glare at him in anger and puff my cheeks out.
He looks at me for a second, then looks away.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Why didn't you get any in?!" I asked.
"Didn't feel like it." He said, still not looking at me.
I stare at him in shock.
"Your joking, right?" I asked.
He stayed silent and I sighed.
" please tell me you didn't just throw the game for stupid reason like that." I said looking at him.
"Nope." He said then looked away.
"Then why did you even come here?!" I groaned as I grabbed the back of my head as my elbows where facing forwards.
I can't think of a reason why he would come if he didn't feel like playing the game!
"Well, because you seem interesting." He said blankly.
"Huh?" I said in reply, tilting my head in shock.
Then the words sink in and a blush rises to my face.
"W-wait, what?!" I shouted.
"Never mind, I'm gonna go back to my room. Later." He said walking off.
I stand there staring at the spot he was just in. All I could think after that was this.
What the actual h*ll just happened?
...........
Aries pov.
I was in the art room of the house, yes, we actually have one of those..... Sorry. Anyway, I was in the art room with Minerva and Mira, we were just talking while making some outfits.
" soooooo Mira, do you find any of the guys on the show attractive?" Minerva asked before she took a sip of her lemonade.
I gulped, Minerva must be picking a fight again. Poor Mira, she doesn't know what's heading her way.
Mira just looked at her and gave her a smile.
" no, so you don't have to worry about me stealing Rufus from you." Mira said with a smile.
I gasp in shock as I see Minerva coughing like crazy on her lemonade as her face is dusted pink.
I look at Mira scared.
She made Minerva blush.
This won't end well.
" who says I like him?!" Minerva shouted glaring at Mira.
She just giggles.
She just made Minerva blush even more as she shakes her head and tsk.
" silly Minerva, don't you see. It's so obvious. Ever since we got here you only talked to 3 guys, Sting, Rogue, and Rufus. I figured you must have your eye on one of them, and you seemed just fine with Sting and Yukino kissing, or Rogue giving Kagura a hickey. That just leaves Rufus, and being honest here Hun, you stare at him oh so very often, especially today at breakfast. So it was elementary figuring out that you liked him. Plus you two are cute together, so I'll ship it!" Mira said smiling.
She got all that from subtext hints like slight interactions? Th-that's kinda scary!
I turn to see Minerva frozen with her mouth a gape.
I can't believe this, she put Minerva in disbelief! Who is she?!
I started to feel my legs shake as my eyes widen.
" W-what are you?!" I asked. Then I realized what I said and blushed. "S-sorry."
" no it's fine, you see Aries, I, what you call a matchmaker, or a shipper, or even...... A fangirl, DUN DUN DUN!!!!" She shouted smiling as she used her hands to exaggerate the sound effects.
"Eep!" I accidentally let out, stupid reflexes. I then run behind Minerva and hold her. "S-sorry." I mumbled.
" oh, you seem scared. What should I do to make you more comfortable. Hmmmm......" Mira thought as she placed her fist to her chin. After a few minutes her eyes widen as she smiles and then she snaps her fingers. " I got it! Aries are you interested in anyone in the house, I can help set you up with them!" Mira suggested excitedly as she ran towards me and grabbed my hands.
"Ehhhh?!" I shouted in shock and kinda nervous as I felt a blush creep onto my face.
"Mira!" Minerva shouted as she finally snapped out of her trance. "3 things, number one, you better not tell anyone the thing about Rufus, understood?!" Minerva growled as she glared at Mira.
Oh thank goodness she got involved, I didn't think I could've handled that.
Mira just gave her a smile, not fazed at all.
" good, number 2, leave Aries alone, I don't think you noticed this yet, but she's pretty quite and shy. I.E. She doesn't want help going out with a boy. And number 3, you really want to connect with us?" Minerva asked.
Mira nodded really fast.
Minerva grinned.
Oh no, remember how I said this won't end well, looks like it's about to happen.
" good, then why don't we play a little game, we will each make our own outfits and then model them to each other, just to get comfortable with each other." Minerva suggested.
" that sounds like fun." Mira said happy.
No, no it doesn't, it sounds like there's a catch.
" I know right, buuuuuut-" Minerva started.
' I knew it. ' I thought to myself as fake anime tears formed in my eyes, I'm getting dragged into this.
" but there's a catch, loser has to flirt with, and not playful flirt, flirt so obviously that anyone will realize it's flirting, with a person of the winners choice." Minerva said smiling.
I gulped.
Oh no.
Mira looked at her with a similar smile.
Oh no.
" ok, that sounds like fun!" Mira said happily.
Oh no.
"Great, the topics swim wear, let's do this!" Minerva said with a competitive look in her eyes.
Her and Mira started to run around getting fabric as I just stood there in shock, processing what's going one.
Well, I'm screwed.
....
A few minutes later.
....
Why can't I just spend my days reading a book or drawing designs? Why do I need to socially interact with people if it puts me in situations like these?
Shows Minerva and Mirajane having a pose off as they model bikinis as Aries is timidly covering herself.
I felt the heat rise to my face.
This is soooo embarrassing! How are they not embarrassed by this?
"Wait loke? That's not the way to the sauna!" Someone shouted.
Huh?
The three of us turned towards the door, right before it slammed open. Only to reveal Laxus Rufus and loke.
"Oh, your right. This isn't the saunas..... Well hello there ladies." He said with a wink.
It took me a minute to realize what was going on, I then look down and yelped as I hid behind a canvas.
Aghhhhh! This is so embarrassing! I thought as I felt a blush on my face.
Could this day get worse?
"Oh, it's you guys... Hey, do you guys mind judging our modeling contest?" Mira asked with a smile.
Well, I've been corrected.
I turn to see Minerva, hoping she would help. But she was barely even blushing, she just agreed with whatever Mira was saying! Aghhhhh!
The struggles of the anti social! They're real!
" we would love to help out such fine woman, right guys?!" Loke said with a grin.
" whatever." Laxus replied as he stared at Mira. Mira glared at him.
Huh, interesting.
" sure." Rufus replied, looking away with a small blush.
I gulped. I feel like I might die of embarrassment.
"Ok, first up Mira!" Loke said.
Mira ignored him and continued to glare at Laxus.
"What's wrong Mira? It's just a game." Minerva said mockingly.
" huh, oh right!" Mira said, as she walked up and posed for the guys.
" hmmm.... I'll give her a 9 on the sexy meter." Loke said with a wink." After all, I'm the one she needs."
Did he just- know what, never mind. I don't want to know.
"I'll give her a...... 7" Laxus said plainly, only to see Mira glare at him even more. He just chuckled.
" ok, and I guess I'll give her a 8?" Rufus said.
" great!" Loke shouted. "Now Minerva!"
Minerva grunted as she walked up and posed.
" I'll give her a 8, mainly because she's a Starbucks fan. And I have to say, she's my cup of coffee." He said winking at her.
..... No comment....
" pervert." Minerva mumbled.
" I'll give her an 8." Laxus replied.
" same." Rufus said.
Minerva scowled at the fact that she tied with Mira, none of the less, she walked back to our small group.
"And finally, the beautiful Aries! Come on up here sexy woman!" Loke said excited.
The next thing that I see is a can of paint, it flies across the room and lands flat on Loke's face.
My sweat drop as I look to see Minerva with a satisfied smirk.
"Whoops, my hand slipped." She said.
I sighed.
Yup, this is my life.
I quickly walk up, but unlike the others I don't pose. I look down blushing.
"I'll give her a 8" Laxus said plainly.
"Same." Rufus replied.
That left it down to...... Oh gosh no, please no.
"Hmmmmmm..... Are you from Tennessee?" He started
Oh my.... He's...... Oh my...
" cause your the only ten I see." Loke said with a grin.
I just blushed madly as I ran and hid behind Minerva.
"Wait, that means Aries won?!" Mira said, in both a shock and a happy tone.
" yup, Minerva was to scary and it didn't seem fair to give high points to a model, plus Aries is extremely hot." Loke said proudly.
" agreed." Rufus stated.
Laxus just nod.
Wait, what? But what about Mira?
I turn to her and see her in shock.
"H-how?" She managed to sputter out.
"Please, I know all the models in this country..... And you just so happen to be in a magazine my sister once appeared in."Loke said grinning.
What?
" and I remember everything I ever seen." Rufus mumbled.
What?!
" and I found out you where a model this morning, remember Mirajane?" Laxus said in a matter of fact tone.
Wait WHAT?!?!
"WHAT?!?!" Minerva shouted.
" yup, I'm a model. Heh." Mira said sheepishly.
" how did I not recognize you?!" Minerva asked.
" I've been on a break, so I've rarely model in the past few months." Mira explained.
" why didn't you tell me?!?!" Minerva shouted at Rufus in rage.
" I thought we all knew this." Rufus said plainly.
" well I didn't!" Minerva growled.
" ok, so?" He asked.
"So you should tell me these things!" She said frustrated.
" will you love birds break it up? I need to talk to you!" Mira asked.
" SHUT UP MIRA!" Minerva shouted while slightly blushing, but she calmed down when Rufus held her back.
"Look, I'm trying to keep my work a secret. I came to this show to get away from the paparazzi and make actual friends. So can you please keep this between us all?" Mira asked.
We all took a minute to think about it.
" um Mira, are you sure that's a good idea?" Loke asked.
"Yes. Just please, I promise I'll tell the others later, I just want them to meet me as me... Not as my work." She said and sighed.
" sure Mira, your our friend. I'm sorry you have to hide this from us." I told her with a smile.
" thanks Aries." She said a little relieved.
" well I'm down with keeping it a secret. What about you guys?"Loke asked.
" sure." Rufus replied.
Laxus just nod.
Good, that only left one.
Minerva.
It was silent, the air was so stiff.
If a pin dropped, you could definitely hear it echo across the room.
" well...." Minerva started, finally breaking the tension. " we'll see, after one of us do the punishment. Aries, choose."
I felt a blush rise to my cheeks out of nervousness.
"Ummmm.... I guess Mira, and with Laxus." I mumbled, remembering there stare off.
Minerva nod approving as Mira blushed a bit. The guys looked confused.
" ok, fine. Hey Laxus!" She groaned.
" what?" He replied confused.
" I lost a bet!" Mira complained as she walked towards him.
" so, what does that have to do wit- mmph!" He started but was cut off. You could hear his sentence muffled.
He was cut off by Mira, who grabbed him by the collar, and as she went on her tip toes, she pulled Laxus down and kissed him.
I felt the blush rise to my face as I gasped.
S-she's so bold!
" hmm... Not bad." Minerva mumbled.
Mira broke the kiss after a few seconds, she was blushing and turned to us.
Laxus just stood in shock with a blush, trying to process everything.
" was that entertaining enough?" She asked.
" not bad mirajane, not bad at all. You know what, I'll keep your secret. You seem alright, your at least interesting." Minerva said with a smile.
" thank you." Mira sighed in relief. She then turn to look at Laxus." Hey laxus!"
He snapped out of his frozen state.
" wha- huh- I- what the h*ll just happen?!" He shouted.
Mira glared at him with a blush.
" That. Meant. Nothing! Understand?" Mira said with a glare, as a dark aura surrounded her.
I gulped, she looked scarier then Minerva.
"S-sure." Laxus said confused.
Poor guy.
" good!" Mira said, back to her old happy self.
Who knows what would have happened next if we weren't interrupted.
" ahem, calling all contestants to the lounge, we will be discussing tomorrow's challenge!"
That was our first announcement, we all looked at each other, and I bet we all had the same question.
Challenge? What challenge?
.......
Hey guys, happy Easter, belated pass over, April fools, and whatever you might celebrate! I wanted to update this chapter for a while, but I'll be honnest I just did the whole part with Aries pov today. And finished the Kinana's pov part this week. I've been having trouble coming up with ideas for certain characters. It's why you saw so much of the Erza and kagura, or meredy, or sting and yukino, compared to the others. It's was just easier to write them cause I had so many ideas for them. I came into this chapter not having any ideas, so it took a bit of time. But I will do my best not to do this again.
Also, another note, my life with a phobia book, will not update for a little bit.
Don't think I'm not writing it, I'm just gonna be making chapters but not updating on them. Mainly because of editing reason. That way I can look it over. Also I can focus on this story. But I will be updating, around May or June, after I have a few chapters pre done I will update them all at once.
Also, the suggestion system will change.
I will take a pair or two from suggestions, and put one of my own in, just so I can update faster, hope that's ok.
Oh my Mavis, I didn't say oh my fairy tail. But next chapter I will go back to saying oh my fairy tail. I didn't do it this chapter mainly because I got some complaints, but I would like to point out that Mavis is a contestant, so I can't do that, but if it truly bothers you, please comment, I might make a part in the story where a situation happens and everyone starts saying oh my Mavis.
Like I said, if their is any mistakes I'm sorry, please tell me so I can fix them, I updated this with little editing mainly because I've been so behind because of writers block.
Anyway, please vote and comment on the story, and please comment on who you would like to see next, or if you have any suggestions.
Here are a few gifts!
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the chapter, keep on watching anime, loving fairy tail and thanks for reading my story, see you next time my fellow fairy fans! Bye!
