Gajeel P.O.V

I groaned as I stomped through town, Salamander and Stripper arguing behind me. I tried to tune them our as I tried to decide where to go for lunch. My patience was wearing thin, I was just about to turn and yell at them when I caught a glimpse of her. Her cerulean hair unmistakable as she moved to the back of a cafe. I hadn't seen her face,  but I was certain it was her.

"Oi, let's eat here." I said, walking up to the small cafe. "Cafe Blanc? What the hell is a cosplay cafe?" Natsu asked as he stared at the sign. "I think it's where the employees work in costumes." Grey said as he headed inside. We followed him in and were seated by a brunette in a maid dress with, ears and a tail? It was odd but I shrugged it off, glancing down at the little menu she gave us. I looked up as the scent of ink and lavender hit my nose, only to stare wide eyed at the Shrimp. She was wearing similar attire to the hostess, a maid dress with blue ears and a tail.

"Welcome home master! How may I serve you?" She asked sweetly without looking up from her notepad. I think I'm gonna pass out. I felt the blood rushing to my face and, elsewhere but I tried to shake it off. "Shrimp?" I saw her tense and her eyes widened, her face turned deep red. " Levy, what are you doing here?" Natsu asked, thankfully too dense to notice our reactions, though Grey was trying not to laugh. "Natsu... Grey... G-Gajeel...." her voice seemed to raise an octave each time she spoke as she looked at us until it was just a squeek at my name.

"I.... I... We were responding to a job request... They uh... They needed some waitresses for a week..." She managed to stutter out as she tugged on the end of her dress. The ears on her head had flattened in embarrassment and her tail was twitching nervously. "We?" Grey asked. I seem to have lost my ability to speak, or form coherent thoughts. She nodded, her eyes never leaving me. "Yeah... Erza, Lu and Juvia are here too."

"I heard my name!" The blonde sang as she turned around, she had been walking past but none of us were paying attention. The blonde paused as she saw us, her face turning the same red as Levys and her own gold tail fluffed up. "Luce!" Natsu gasped, and I finally tore my eyes from the small bluenette. His face was tinted pink and he had a had over his mouth, probably to keep from making a weird noise as he crossed his legs. "W-what are you guys doing here?" She stuttered, mimicking Levy as she tried to pull the edge of her skirt down.

"Lunch." Grey said, he was thoroughly enjoy our discomfort. Levy waved off the blonde, though Salamander followed her with his eyes. " S-so what do you guys want?" She asked, trying to get back to her work. I glanced at the menu, just ordering something small with a grumble. The other two ordered, and once she left Grey burst into laughter. "These women are gonna kill us." I groaned. We had talked to each other about the certain women in our lives, and we tried to help each other when it came to them. I glared at him, "Just wait, I'm sure Juvia," I hadn't even finished talking when the rain woman walked by, almost not noticing us.

"Gajeel-kun! What are you- Grey-sama?!" She gasped, her face lighting up like a beacon. Grey nearly choked on his drink when he saw her, blue ears and fluffy tail. I glanced at Grey, snorting as he grabbed a napkin for his now bloody nose. "Are you alright Grey-sama?" She asked worriedly as she tried to help, but only unknowingly made it worse. "Woman leave him alone." I said with a chuckle.

Once she stopped fussing over him she stepped back. "What are you all doing here?" She asked. "Food woman, what else?" I snorted. She giggled before turning as an older woman that hurried up to her. "Juvia, do you know how to cook?" She asked, sounding almost panicked. Juvia frowned and shook her head. "What's wrong?" She asked. " Our cook just quit! And our bus boys still haven't shown up!" She said, pulling at her hair slightly.

" I can cook." I heard myself saying, and all eyes were on me. "Pardon me but, who are you?" She asked politely.  "These are Juvias friends from Fairy Tail." She said and the woman brightened. "Can I hire you guys? It would just be for a week." She asked excitedly. I looked at the other two before shrugging. "I could use the cash." I grunted. Grey nodded and Natsu grinned. "I'm fired up!" The woman laughed and clapped her hands. We got up and she lead us to the back, finding us uniforms but I frowned when she held out a set of black cat ears and a belt with a tail on it. "No way in hell."

{Omg, neko! Gajeel... So much yes about this.}
