I'd like to start out with an apology for not updating in like five million years. . . life is crazy, and high school is very demanding. . . and so is dance practice for K-Pop. . . just informing y'all on everything I waste my time on so you don't think that  I'm not writing just not to write. ^.^"

I know it's already almost a month into 2018. . . but why not write a chapter today. . . on January 21st? Today is the perfect time to show how much of a procrastinator I am!

After note: Sorry it's published late. . . busy life.

Mira: Happy New Year's everyone!

Levy: Happy New Year!

Natsu: It's a new year?! Why didn't someone tell me we time traveled?

Erza: I thought you got your phone taken away for taking pictures in the sauna, Natsu.

Natsu: I have a permit to have it.

Gray: You gave Makarov a note saying 'I can do whatever I want to', then you stole your phone back.

Natsu: Nobody has to know that it was fake, Gray.

Mira: I think that's illegal.

Natsu: When there's no cops around, anything's legal!

Lucy: So, I thought New Year was a happy time...?

Mira: Not when the boys are being stupid.

Levy: Anyways, what were your New Year's Resolutions?

------- User Gajeel is Online -------

Gajeel: Why are we all texting at 1am?!

Gray: It's the new year, stupid.

Levy: Okay, Gray, we can handle this nicely.

Mira: What's up with the Dragon Slayers and New Year?

Gajeel: New Year. . .?

Levy: forget it. Let's just get to everyone's resolutions!

Natsu: Resolutions. . .?

{I paused writing right here for a while because I was shook that Miraculous Season 2 was already out in the UK and decided to watch the episodes on YouTube. . .}

Levy: They're things you want to do better in 2018.

Natsu: I still don't get it.

Mira: For example, I want to maybe make time for more stuff. I shouldn't spend as much time on useless things that won't get me anywhere in life.

Natsu: Oh, I think I get it now. So resolutions are things that you feel that are flawed in your characteristic makeup, and you take time to recognize and fix those things in the fresh start of the New Year?

Lucy: That's deep.

Natsu: So, I think I want to devote more time to eating more.

Erza: And. . . he's back.

Levy: Well, my serious resolution is to maybe work on some more long term projects instead of a bunch of smaller ones.

Mira: That's actually a pretty good one. How about you, Erza?

Erza: My resolution is to maybe lay off on the rude Natsu and Gray comments.

Natsu: You know, I think that's a great idea. Maybe I'll be able to eat more food without you nagging me about it!

Erza: Don't you have somewhere else to be stupid?

Natsu: Not until 3am.

{Continued on January 30th because I procrastinate too much. . .}

Mira: So. . . anyone else have a resolution?

Lucy: I, for one, would like to actually get something productive done instead of following all of you around all the time.

Natsu: What else would you be doing besides hanging with is? You have no life otherwise.

Happy: OHHHHHHHHHH!

Gajeel: Wow. What a childish insult.

Lucy: I would rather be doing lots of things, such as, I don't know, getting a real job that doesn't involve the risk of my death. . .?

Erza: Oh.

Mira: Gray, what's your new year's resolution? 

--------- User Jellal is online ---------

Jellal: It's 1:30 in the morning, people are trying to sleep, you know!

Natsu: Clearly not you.

Jellal: Shut up, you guys were the ones that woke me up with your constant spamming.

Erza: It's New Year's, we can do whatever the hell we want. 

Jellal: Erza! Didn't know you were up this late too. . .

Erza: Yeah, it would be nice if you didn't call our nice conversation spam.

Levy: I wouldn't call it. . . nice. . . conversation. . .

Mira: We were talking about New Year's resolutions, then everyone started to be mean to one another, as always. 

Lucy: Maybe we should care about each other's feelings more in the new year.

Gray: The thing is, I don't care.

Lucy: How can you not care?!

Gray: Like this.

Gray: I don't care.

---------- User Juvia is online ---------

Juvia: Gray cares about Juvia, right?

Gray: When did she get here?!

Juvia: Juvia saw you talking about caring about people in the notifications as Juvia waited for you to text her lying awake in bed and decided to join the chat.

Gajeel: That's a little more than slightly creepy.

Mira: Well, Juvia, what's your resolution?

Juvia: Juvia has thought long and hard about her resolution, and has decided to be more daring. Juvia would like to do something daring, like eat more than the allowed serving size of cereal, or better yet, run with scissors! Wait, that is too dangerous. . . maybe run without scissors.

Gray: Wow. . . so daring.

Juvia: Juvia thanks you, Gray~Sama!

Gray: This girl is insane.

Mira: Gray, we still don't know your resolution.

Gray: That's because it's a secret. 

Happy: Ooh~ I bet it's. . . scandalous~ 

Gray: The hell? No!

Juvia: Juvia is curious.

Gray: Juvia needs to calm the heck down. 

Mira: Gray, I think you're hiding something.

Jellal: Quid pro quo.

Erza: What does that mean?

Jellal: It means I'm pretentious.

Erza: . . .

Levy: Way to make a pointless distraction. (A/N: Is the only one that knows the definition of pretentious.)

Jellal: And now I am in control of the subject. :)

Jellal: So, anyone know where Loke is?

Gajeel: He hasn't been here since before I joined the guild.

Lucy: Yeah, he's been gone a long time.

Jellal: Is he dead?!

Natsu: Hopefully. . .

Levy: No, he's not dead.

Erza: How do you even know about him?

Jellal: Is he in a coma?!

Natsu: What's that? Sounds fun.

Levy: No, Natsu.

Jellal: I know him because of some plotpoints that the author is too lazy to make up.

Lucy: Interesting.

Mira: Okay, but resolutions. . .? Gajeel? Jellal? . . . Gray?

Gajeel: I am neutral in this situation. If I make a resolution now, it will start an argument I do not want to be a part of.

Levy: You've never been neutral on anything. You always love getting in arguments. Heck, you started an argument on why the sky should be black and not blue.

Gajeel: It would only make sense because of how Earth is in the middle of black space!

Levy: See?

-------- User Elfman is online ----------

Elfman: Hello everyone, Happy New Year, I have seen that you all are up around 2am and I did something regrettably stupid and unmanly.

Mira: And you came to us about it?

Natsu: We're literally the most untrustworthy group of people on the face of this earth.

Gray: Couldn't have said it any more offensively myself.

Lucy: What do you need?

Happy: Advice? A scolding? The talk? A new pair of underpants?

Elfman: No, no, definitely no, and probably.

Levy: Don't worry, we got your back.

Natsu: I don't. I'll be silently judging you.

Gray: I honestly don't really care.

Gajeel: I have no opinion.

Levy: Shut up, you always have an opinion.

Elfman: Guys, I think I'm expecting.

Erza: You're expecting a child?!

Jellal: With who?!

Natsu: The judging has begun.

Elfman: No, no. . . I'm expecting a package.

Mira: Did you order a alligator?! I told you it was a bad idea to start up a gator wrestling match?

Elfman: I think I ordered something while I was drunk and now I'm expecting the package any day now. . .

Happy: Someone send me some virtual popcorn!

Natsu: Popcorn.gif

Happy: Thank you.

Lucy: As a concerned friend, and a gossip enthusiast, I'm curious.

Elfman: Guys. . . I just ordered all of the merch from the Doki Doki Literature Club website.

Levy: You're pathetic.

Mira: HA!

Gray: When was the last time you even did something manly? 

Erza: I don't think there was a last time.

Elfman: Wow, thanks for the help.

Lucy: What is Ever going to say?

Happy: "Get out of my house you loli."

Elfman: Oddly specific. 

Jellal: But accurate.

Natsu: You have no say in this situation.

Jellal: Neither do you, stupid.

Gray: Both of you are stupid and maybe need a brain check.

Juvia: Juvia thinks that counts as a rude comment.

Gray: Am I a good person?

Natsu: No.

Gray: Exactly. But do I try to be better every single day?

Mira: Hopefully. . .?

Gray: Also no.

Erza: Wow.

Levy: I don't think we're going to achieve anything this year at this point.

Lucy: I don't think so either.

Mira: How about we play a game!

Natsu: Yay! Game!

Mira: Alright, let's answer a question!

Natsu: Boo.

Gray: Stupid, it's just a question.

Mira: When you were younger, what was a dream you had? Maybe that will make a mold for better resolutions!

Natsu: To have parents.

Mira: . . . Alright, moving on!

Juvia: Juvia has a question.

Mira: Yes?

Juvia: Why is there a light in Juvia's fridge if midnight snacking is frowned upon?

Erza: . . . no clue. I just assumed I was allowed and encouraged to eat cake at 2am.

Jellal: Do they have the word 'dictionary' in the dictionary?

Levy: No, that would be pointless.

Lucy: Why are they called goose bumps? Do geese get people bumps?

Gray: Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink what ever comes out"?

Juvia: Juvia is disgusted yet intrigued.

Natsu: Do vampires get AIDS?

Mira: Woah there, I think it's time to stop.

Happy: You know, we're all going to hate ourselves in the morning if we stay up any later.

Jellal: Joke's on you, I hate myself in the morning no matter what.

Erza: Why. . ?

Jellal: Childhood trauma.

Erza: Oh. Yeah.

Mira: Really though, I think  we should all get some sleep.

Natsu: I think that I should be in charge of all of this, I assure you that I am the real asset.

Gray: You're only off by two letters.

Levy: All this arguing is making me sick! I hate conflict with every inch of my being!

Gajeel: That's not a lot of inches.

{That's a reference to an anime if you can guess it. :)}

Happy: Aye, I'm tired, bye everyone.

Natsu: I can literally see you from where I am, you're just watching cat videos.

Happy: Duh, cats failing is hilarious.

Lucy: So you're saying that you're hilarious.

Happy: Hush.

Erza: Natsu. Happy, you two are the only ones texting in the same room. Why the hell don't you two just use the same phone?

Happy: Privacy. 

Erza: Okay. . .

Happy: Goodbye everyone, peace out.

--------- User Happy has gone offline ----------

Levy: He's gonna sleep until two in the afternoon.

Lucy: Yup.

Mira: Now that Mr. Can't Keep a Secret is gone, anyone have anything they'd like to confess for the new year?

Juvia: Juvia wants to know if Gray truly likes her.

Gray: Okay. 

Elfman: You do send mixed messages.

Gray: I don't think 'I don't like you' and 'go away' are mixed messages.

Jellal: Bye y'all, I'm not ready to get my deepest secrets squeezed out of me.

-------- User Jellal has gone offline ---------

Mira: Well, that just leaves nine of us.

Natsu: Only the best of us.

Gray: Nah, I'd say the best of us plus some extra.

Lucy: Actually, I'm going to go now, because I've just suddenly realized how much I dislike you all. Bye!

-------- User Lucy has gone offline ----------

Mira: Oh. 

Levy: She's just tired. Hopefully.

Gray: isn't a common resolution to be more honest?

Elfman: Never thought of it that way.

{Suddenly realized I neglected Gajeel. . .}

Gajeel: You never think.

Elfman: Shut up, man.

Juvia: Juvia would like to sleep.

Mira: Goodnight, Juvia!

Juvia: Goodnight. 

-------- User Juvia has gone offline ---------

Gray: She's gone. Finally.

Levy: Be nice.

Elfman: I don't think you'll get anywhere with your peace campaign.

Levy: I know.

Gajeel: Don't give up, shrimp.

Levy: Hey! Oh, that was a compliment?

Gajeel: .  . . yeah.

Natsu: Personally, I've been toying with the idea of becoming a bad boy.

Gray: Alright, it's 4am. We're all tired, Natsu is delusional. Let's leave.

---------- User Gray has gone offline ----------

Elfman: Someone's salty.

Mira: I do think it's a good idea we go to bed. Or, at least try to sleep until noon.

{Realized I neglected Erza. . .}

Erza: Sorry, almost fell asleep there. 

Levy: Get some sleep girl, never know if we need you for something important tomorrow.

Erza: Night. 

-------- User Erza has gone offline ---------

Natsu: I won't sleep, sleep is for the weak!

Mira: Natsu, go to sleep, you're toying with the idea of becoming a bad boy.

Natsu: Okay, goodnight. Wait! I'm gonna be a bad boy, bad boys don't sleep!

Gajeel: Natsu. Sleep.

Natsu: No.

Mira: Momma Mira says go to sleep before she bashes in your head so bad you can't physically sleep anymore.

Natsu: Oyasumi!

-------- User Natsu has gone offline ---------

Mira: Alright, now all the rebellious ones have left, let's maturely end this conversation, since it's a new year.

Gajeel: Well maybe I should leave then.

Levy: Yeah, bye Gajeel.

Gajeel: Don't act like you hate me, goodnight.

Levy: Goodnight Gajeel.

--------- User Gajeel has gone offline ---------

Mira: Okay, on the count of three!

Mira: 3. . . 2. . . 1. . .

Mira: Happy!

Elfman: New!

Levy: Year! ^.^

-------- Chat has been muted until January 2nd --------

And that concludes the first chapter of 2018! That was a long chapter. . . and it took a while to edit it and make it funnier, etc. . .

I promise that this year, I will try to make more smaller chapters like I used to so I can update more often, because I know how much you all loved getting updates more often. 

So, how is all of your New Years so far? Mine is fine, I am in a healthy relationship now, so that's good. :)

I think that's all I have to say here, besides that requests are open, and always have been, but I need ideas more than ever, I'm losing ideas!

See you all in the comments! ♡

P.S. Let me know if you find spelling errors, I don't spell-check long chapters as much!
