So she still got it — still the one who controls and dictates. Amazing commanding power with amazing beauty. Little laugh escaped her lips. Immediately, the entire hall prayed in chorus and followed but a shaking affirmative answer. That’s Erza for you. She just can’t leave without a few words for the members to take note of. Of course, all of this is done under care and love for the guild that sheltered them, everyone, for a long time. The guild that is their second home. In the end of the message, the celestial mage’s name was called and that took her away from the thoughts that run inside her head. “Un!”Jolly she skipped behind the armored one. A good shopping day is about to start.
“So where do you want to go first, Erza?”As soon as emerging at the wide door of the guild, she blurted out in excitement — totally in the feminine mode. Have they done this kind of activity before? A couple of times but each mages of the said guild has their own time to be cautious about thus mostly everyone does their shopping on their own. As for Lucy, Plue is always her company whenever she goes or sometimes an unexpected presence of a certain lion or a dragon slayer which is very handy especially when carrying the loads from grocery shopping.
And since the scarlet is the one who invited her, it has to be because she already planned this out. It would be rude for the blonde mage to jump around in enthusiasm and let the water carry her as is. Nope. Not gonna have a bump on head this time. “It’s been quite some time that we went out shopping, deshou? Do you have something in mind?”To her, Erza is like an older sister she never had. In her side she felt secure and cared for at the same time. Which is why whenever they do some girls’ stuff, it always excites her so. Though some things turned out to be a bit off the track. And this one might be one of though. Lucy doesn’t know yet. ▬§

『She stood still, plaiting her arms as it was placed under her chest, waiting patiently for the celestial mage. It didn’t take long for the female to finally make her appearance, Lucy arrived at the specific venue, she heaved out a sigh and finally curled up a smile upon her lips to indirectly express her gratitude in accepting her invitation; excited and definitely looking forward to this day she’ll spent with her friend. It was a rare opportunity for them to hang-out together, the only time they mostly have are for mission ❝Ah, finally, you’re here, it’s been a while since we’ve hang out.❞ 』
『 She had this day planned all along, finally, after a thousand years; her plots can finally be put to action. Erza took three prolong S-class jobs that was successfully finished in seven days, it was tiring, this shopping spree served as a self-reward for the hard-work she had done. Shopping alone was fun, but having a friend along was much more fun. She was known for her vigorous ability, one that could par any gender (may it be male or female), yet little did they know that she had a feminine personality; she loves sweet, she’s fond of shopping, she likes spending hours on buying dresses. Scarlet has a typical female heart, it was unbelievable but it’s a standalone fact. ❝It feels like forever ever since we’ve shopped together.❞ she replied whilst expanding her arms, kinda like a warm-up, ❝Let’s go!❞ she hollered; eagerness was apparent on her tone. 』
『 The scarlet dame commenced on leading the way for the celestial wizard, armored boots clanked on the cement surrounding the purlieu. She was certain the celestial mage would comply to whatever plan she had up her sleeves. The first part of her agenda was eating. After minutes, they finally arrived at the bakery ❝Before doing anything else, let’’s eat first!❞ she informed as she opened the store’s entrance. Of course, Scarlet was well-known for her boisterous appetite and passion for sweets, this should be expected as a part of her plan. 』
Since I've been experimenting and trying out new things on photoshop, I ended up making these Lucy icons. I've decided to share a few. Feel free to use them at your own preference. If ever you want more just tell me personally, I'd gladly make some.

§▬ “Everyone…”Sighing is the always the end result. And right now, caught in the middle of turmoil, once again, the celestial mage gave up for the hundredth time. Fist against fist. Almost three and quarters of the hall is occupied by rampaging guild mates. One fourth of which are the audience, cheering for the show to continue. Well, some of which are sighing just like the blonde — or trying to act normal amid of it all. “Haa-ah.”Second time the great amount of air leave her lungs. Nope. Going back to her seat, the ice cold drink was given attention. Too much for sorting out the insane mages.
Busy or not; with occasions nor none, Fairy Tail is known with its boisterous members and never ending parties. Been living there for a long time, Lucy got used to it already though still playing the peacemaker from time to time. Especially to those two. Taking another whip of glance towards the half naked man and the gurgling laughter of the idiotic, brows knitted together in both worry and entertainment. And that’s when one of her closest friend made her presence known.
Erza, the Titania. Looks like she delved herself in the fantastic world of cakes to let the party goes as it is. Or is there something else that occupied her attention. One which is very important. One which is… “Shopping?”She repeated, curling a bit of falling hair to the of the ear. So that’s what the scarlet has been thinking of. “I don’t mind going with you. I’m really glad you came to me. I think a good change of scenery will do.”Hmmm~ Scenery. “Sure! I would love to accompany you. R-right now? We’re going right now?”Excited she is to spend another day of femininity with the requip mage. This is definitely going to be included in her letter to her mom. ▬§
{ The pandemonium of bickering continues, the tension between the ice wizard and salamander have risen. It was as if they didn’t see her. The scarlet knight was simply calm and composed despite witnessing the paradoxical situation presented in front of her. Just this once, she’ll let this day pass by and let them have their way. She was boiling with anger but serenity would overtake her mind. She have disregarded the presence of these idiotic individuals and simply acknowledge the existence of the celestial mage. ’They better sort things out once I get back or I’m going to have to do it the hard way.’ she thought, her brows twitched in grimace; indicating her disappointment. }
{ Meanwhile, her fellow guild members were somehow caught surprised by her laid-back attitude ’Erza…calm? Is this some sort of Miracle?’ she could hear the Fairies mumbling regarding the miraculous demeanor she displayed. Once she comes back, everything shall be in order “Listen!” hollered the Knight with authority, her intonation was loud enough to get everyone’s attention; except for the two sworn rivals, their fist battle is still ongoing “Once I get back, everything should be in order again if not — all of you are aware of the consequences. Have we accord?” her vocals was threatening, for a moment, they froze; making effort to absorb her words “Hai!” everyone in the room responded in unison. And with that, she took a step forward, away from the chaos “Lucy, let’s go!” she muttered, gesturing the celestial mage to follow her. }
{ After settling things down with the members involved, she walked out and made her way out of the guild. Erza heaved out a sigh of relief, finally free from the consternation she have felt. Her mind is finally at ease, the event that happened a moment ago was temporarily obliterated, her thoughts have been diverted on her current plan — shopping. The thought of spending her day without dealing with fiasco gave her astonishment. She stood at the pavement of the guild, waiting for the celestial mage to come out. Miens manifested excitement, certainly looking forward for this feminine session. “Ah, finally, a day off.” she uttered to herself. }
{ The guild was at it’s usual state, rowdy and rallying. The knight’s schedule was vacant for today, unbeknownst to others: she disliked slacking off. She was bored at the moment, the insipidity she felt somehow caused her to exasperate. The weather is sunny and it seems like there’s a load of stuffs that one can do in this state. What to do? A heavy amount of thoughts passed through her mind; mission, mission, mission — impossible to do one now since it’s much of a hassle. }
{ Folding her arms as she placed it under her chest, her expression brightens up as she finally figured out the best thing she can do at this moment: Lingerieshopping. The image of a blonde celestial mage suddenly popped through her mind, Lucy, the person who’s the best candidate to join her. She was well-aware of the ethereal wizard’s great sense of fashion therefore bringing her along would be convenient. }
{ Engaging her gaze in scrutiny, she looked her way through the crowded guild, searching for the blonde. Their base was unorganized and noisy like the usual. After minutes of searching, she finally spotted the blonde female who looked troubled in watching the riotous situation between the salamander and ice wizard. Though, as for the Titania, she managed to ignore the bickering and controlled her temper. Her tiers traces an enthusiastic smile as she approached the female “Lucy! I’m gonna go and do some shopping, would you like to come along?” proposed the scarlet woman, as she brightened up her features, with excitement registered on her intonation. }
