Chaos erupted all around them, mothers trying to find their children, haughty teenagers gossiping, cars honking, people talking, but the four of them didn't care. To them the night was beautiful, the city lights were far beneath them, and the sun was painting the sky brilliant shades of red's and oranges, it almost looked like the sky was on fire, the night was so clear it was like you could see to the ends of the earth, everything seemed so insignificant. On top of the hill sat four children, sitting completely peacefully staring at the beautiful sunset, the children were all treated like siblings, even though they weren't related in any way. One of the children was a blond hair girl, with pale skin and beautiful warm brown eyes that could make anyone smile even if they wanted to cry. There was another child with dark raven colored hair, and dark eyes that would peer into your soul but who was strangely enough didn't have his shirt on. Another child was a male with insanely messy pink hair, he had dark onyx eyes, a warm, almost fiery attitude, and a smile that could make anyone's heart melt. The last child who seemed to be the leader had long flowing red hair, her hair was so bright it was a beautiful shade of scarlet.

One of the children, the small blond haired female, said hopefully "Erza-nee can we do this again someday"

The one who replied, the red head now known as Erza said "of course Lucy, the sunset is something that deserves to be enjoyed after all." with determination in her voice.

"Yeah" exclaimed the pinkette, "the sunset is so cool! It looks like the world is on fire!"

"The world could not possibly be on fire idiot" Said the raven haired boy matter-o-factly

"What was that grey" Growled the pinkette

"Are you deaf too Natsu" Gray said angrily

The two boys started growling at each other putting their faces close together and going into fighting stances.

Suddenly Lucy interrupted and said in a slightly nervous tone "you guys shouldn't be fighting, Erza-nee is right behind you and she looks pretty mad"

The boys froze in fear and slowly turned around, only to see a very demonic looking Erza, her red hair was flying everywhere and she had a demonic look in her eye. The two boys tried to slowly back away but were stopped by Erza. Suddenly she said "Are you boys fighting again."

The boys looked at her in fear and said "n-no of course not" perfectly in sync, and threw their arms around each other and put on cheesy fake smiles, they looked at each other and almost started fighting again, but then remembered the demonic presence before them.

Erza started talking again, she said "Good, because best friends should never fight, got it," she said meanly.

"A-aye" said the boys in sync, obviously scared out of their mind.

Suddenly Lucy interrupted not wanting the boys to be scared anymore and said "Erza-nee, it's getting late we should go home now."

"Oh my," exclaimed Erza just realizing that the sun had set "you're right Lucy it's getting dark, let's go home."

And so the four of them walked home hand in hand, nearly oblivious to the deafening city noise erupting around them, the four of them just walked home as a happy, little family. But one has to know that happiness can't last forever, eventually the cruel world will taint them, and they will no longer be young and innocent.
