It had started with a small chat between the three, nothing serious. They had begun with the drinks, and then the food. That was until Natsu suddenly groaned as he remembered something.

"What's up your ass today, salamander?" Gajeel snorted out. His beady red eyes mocking.

"I forgot to pick up Lucy's dress from the dry cleaners," he moaned, his face against the table.

"I never knew you were your girlfriends errand boy," Gajeel quipped.

"Ever since you started dating, it's like you're Lucy's personal pick up and delivery guy of sorts," Gray pointed out as he took a swig. His friends had gotten together over a year ago, but they aged like a married couple.

"It's not all the time," Natsu sighed heavily. "Lucy entered the Miss Fiore competition and she's just trying to get everything ready. They're supposed to provide a talent and she's been keeping me up all night. She thinks she can sing."

Gray winced audibly. He'd spent enough time with the blonde to know signing wasn't her strong suit. "Oh, damn. That must be though."

"That's why the shrimp has been sneaking off to play her instrument," Gajeel noted. "She told me she was going to be joining the pageant as well. I guess playing an instrument will be her talent."

"What about you, Gray?" Natsu questioned. "Did Juvia sign up as well?"

Gray shook his head. "As far as I know, she hasn't. I also don't think they're really Juvia's style. She's a very conserved person."

"She's taken over that weird stripping habit of yours," Gajeel complained. "She's going around giving some of our clients heart attacks."

"Sure, sure." Gray waved them off.

"Well, it's not like she could've beaten my Lucy." Natsu added nonchalantly.

Gray stopped drinking his beer. "What are you trying to say?"

"Well, Juvia is nice and all, but compared to Lucy she wouldn't ever be able to win." Natsu informed. "Same with Levy, Lucy simply has all the assets that Levy lacks."

"Are you fucking kidding me right now, Salamander?" Gajeel's face had turned almost as red as his eyes. "Levy could easily win against Lucy and the Rain Woman. By a landslide!"

"Everyone loves Lucy! There ain't a single soul that wouldn't vote for her!" Natsu tefuted back vehemently. "Levy spends all her time locked away in the library and Juvia spends all her time in Gray's shadows!"

Gray narrowed his eyes. It was true that ever since he and Juvia started dating a year ago, they'd been spending more time together, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be able to win.

He spoke up. "Juvia would win. There's no question about it."

Natsu paused and turned to him. "Let's make a bet, whoever's girlfriend wins the pageant is allowed to steal anyone's mission for a month."

"And gets their beer paid," Gray added in.

"Deal," Gajeel slapped his hand in the middle of the table. "My Levy is going to beat your women's asses."

"I'm going to take all your missions!" Natsu promised.

"Juvia and I will be drinking free beer for a month," Gray challenged. He was more than aware that his girlfriend had more than the assets needed to win.
