This was a bit of a side story that I'd written just for fun. I made a few modifications and I just wanna let everyone know, that his story has no correlation to my main story what so ever. Think of it as an OVA if you will. Anyhoo, enjoy the story and I hope you like it!

Our story begins in a hot spring by the beach. The Fairy Tail guild was staying there for a little R and R. In the springs on the men's side, Willy was sitting in the springs by himself, relaxing in the water.

"Man... This is the life," sighed Willy as he sank into the water. "There's nothing like a nice soak in the hot springs."

He then stretched his bones letting out a few pops and letting out a satisfying sigh. Then he looked up at the sky. The full moon was shining above the sky with the star twinkling.

"Man. I really needed this," he said to himself. "The water's nice and warm, the moon is shining, and the sky's a beautiful shade of black with the stars. Yes sir. There's absolutely nothing that can ruin this peaceful moment."

Right then and there, Willy was suddenly interrupted. A certain pink-headed fire dragon slayer and his little blue cat companion came out running.

"OK! Let's go Happy!" cried Natsu. "It's time to have some fun!"

"Aye sir!" said Happy.

Then Natsu jumped into the air and curled himself into a ball as did Happy.

"FIRE DRAGON CANNONBALL!" cried Natsu as he splashed right into the spring sending a giant wave right at Willy. The wave caught Willy by surprise and he ended up getting a face full of water.

"So much for my peace and quiet," he thought grumpily as he wiped the water from his eyes.

"Hey! Natsu! Happy! This isn't a public pool you know! You can't just go cannon-balling into a hot spring like that! It's rude!" he yelled.

"Aw come on Willy! We're just having a little fun!" said Natsu as he shook that water out of his hair.

"Yeah! Don't be a party pooper!" added Happy.

Just then the other men entered the bath as well. Gray, Elfman, Wakaba, Macao, Warren, Max, Jet, and Droy.

"Geez. Can he be any more childish?" said Gray shaking his head in annoyance. "Can't he learn to settle down?"

"Come on. Let them have some fun," said Macao. "Besides it's important to have fun every now and again.

"Yeah, but there is such a thing as restraint," said Wakaba.

"Hot springs are manly!" cried Elfman.

The hot springs were now filled with men in which Willy couldn't help but let out a few comedic tears.

"Where did all my peace and quiet go?!" he cried to himself.

Meanwhile on the girl's side of the spring, the girls were now just entering. They comprised of Lucy, Wendy, Erza, Levy, Juvia, Mirajane, Lisnanna, and Carla. They too were having a good time relaxing in the springs too.

"This is so relaxing," sighed Wendy.

"I have agree," said Erza. "It's days like this that make all the hard times we went through seem worth it."

"I'm with you on that one Erza," said Rin. "We should be relaxing like this all the time. It'll make everything easier that way."

Cana chugged a bottle of beer and let out a contented sigh and a satisfying hiccup.

"Oh yeah! There's nothing that makes a soak in the springs better than a big bottle of beer," she slurred,

"Be careful not to drink so much Cana. You'll end up getting drunk again," said Mira.

"Yeah. That's not gonna happen," said Levy. "Besides I think she's already drunk."

Rin then turned her head and noticed a certain water wizard standing outside of the spring looking embarrassed and hiding herself with a towel.

"Hey! Juvia!" she called. "What are you doing out there? Aren't you gonna get in?"

"I can't. I'm... too embarrassed," said Juvia shyly.

"You needn't be so embarrassed Juvia," said Erza. "It's just us girls here."

"Yeah! Come on in here girlfriend! The water's great!" Cana called totally smashed.

Juvia was still a little shy, but eventually she got into the water as well. Lucy stretched and looked up at the beautiful night sky.

"This feels like heaven," she said.

"Yeah. It really revitalizes you somehow," said Wendy.

"Well I am told that this spring has special properties that make your skin smooth and many other things," said Carla. "Then again that pretty much applies to every spring we go to."

Then as the girls continued to bathe, Lisanna happened to notice something. Juvia was over at the wall that divided the boy's side from the girl's side. It seemed that she was trying to look over the other side. It was obvious what she was up to.

"Hey Juvia, what are you doing over there?" she asked.

Juvia jumped a little in surprise. "Um... Nothing! Nothing at all Lisanna!" she said hurriedly. "I wasn't trying to peep at my beloved Gray if that's what you're thinking!"

The girls then heard what Juvia said and there was an awkward silence. Then Lucy broke the silence speaking with a tone of anger in her voice.

"Juvia! You were gonna peep at Gray!?" she cried. "What's wrong with you perv!? What kind of girl peeps at a guy?!"

"Silence love rival! You were thinking of doing the same thing and you know it!" Juvia snapped.

Lucy immediately blushed a little. "What!? I was not! Why would I do something like that?!"

"Don't lie to me! Admit it! You wanted to peep at Gray as well! I wouldn't be surprised if you were planning to!" said Juvia pointing an accusing finger at Lucy. "You've always had the hots for Gray! I bet you wanted to see his rock hard abs! That icy look in his eyes! And mostly importantly his-"

"OK! I'm gonna stop you right there!" said Lucy. "Seriously. You're starting to sound like a perv. And not just more than usual."

The rest of the girls who were listening in on the conversation looked at the two in surprise.

"Wait. Those two actually were planning to peep at the boys?" wondered Levy. "Come on Lu. I understand if it was Natsu, but Gray?"

"No! I mean... I wasn't! Well maybe I was... wait!" stammered Lucy.

"Lucy. It's alright to think about boys every now and again, but it's important to show some restraint Rin," said Erza sternly. "You as well Juvia."

"How shameless! What kind of example are you setting for Wendy you two?" scolded Carla. "I expected as much from a man as well as Juvia but Lucy, I expected better from you. I never knew you were one of those type of girls."

"What?! Come on! You've got it wrong!" protested Lucy. "Wendy surely you don't think I'm a pervert do you?"

"No. Of course not Lucy," said Wendy. "But I do want to say one thing."

"What's that?"

"I think dirty thoughts are very bad."

Lucy became pale with shock and then the scene switches to Lucy being alone in a corner with comical tears streaming down her face.

"No fair. Even Wendy thinks I'm a pervert," she wept.

Back at the boy's side, everyone was chatting and having a great time relaxing in the spring. Well almost everyone. As usual Natsu and Gray were now fighting like they always do. Apparently Natsu started a splash fight with Gray and then they got to into it and now the two of them were slugging it out.

"Now you're gonna get it you pervy popsicle!" yelled Natsu.

"That's my line you fire breathing idiot!" Gray yelled back. "Don't you ever hear of the word restraint?!"

"I always give everything one hundred percent!"

"Oh like you mean you one hundred percent lost?!"

As they continued to fight each other, Willy sat in the corner of the spring staying as far away as possible.

"Oh brother," he sighed as he watched them. "Don't those two ever stop fighting? Even in a place like this, they still find a reason to fight each other."

"Just let them be Willy," said Max. "They'll get tired and stop fighting soon."

"So Willy, how are things going for you in the guild?" asked Macao. "You getting used to everything now and days?

"Yeah. More or less."

"You know Willy, now that I think about it I've never would have believed that you were once a member of that guild," said Warren. "It's still kinda hard to believe."

"Really?"

"Yeah. When we heard about you," said Jet. "We thought that you were just someone like Gajeel when he attacked us. But now after getting to know you, you're actually pretty cool."

"Oh come on. You're just saying that," said Willy.

"No we mean it. You're awesome," said Droy. "And we're glad to have you in Fairy Tail."

"Yeah! You're a real man!" said Elfman. "And I should know. We've known each other since we were kids."

Willy blushed a little. "Thanks you guys. But... I can't take all the credit. To be honest, I owe it all to you guys. I mean you gave me a second chance to live my life and even gave me a home and a family. If you ask me, you guys are the ones that are awesome. And... apparently real men too."

Everyone chuckled. Then Macao held up a bottle. "Hey guys! Since it's just us men here, how's about we all have a drink?"

Then everyone helped themselves with a cup of sake. Willy sipped his lightly while everyone else gulped down theirs heartily. Then Macao and Wakaba sat next to him. Both of them were now slightly drunk.

"Hey Willy. Want some more sake?" asked Macao. "There's plenty to go around."

"No thanks Macao," said Willy. "I'm fine."

"Hey Willy. There's something that I gotta ask you," said Wakaba. "You gotta be really honest with me on this one OK?"

"Um... sure."

Wakaba slung an arm around him and said; "Be honest with me. Have you gotten yourself a girlfriend yet?"

Back on the girl's side, everyone was still soaking and things were peaceful. Then a startled scream broke the silence.

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

The scream caused every one of the girls to jump in surprise.

"What was that?!" asked Lucy.

"What it was, it sounded like it came from the boy's side," said Mira.

"And it sounded like Willy," said Levy. "I wonder if there's anything wrong?"

"Just leave them be," said Erza. "They're probably just being boys as usual."

Then girls heard Willy and the others talking.

"Calm down dude. It was just a question," said Max.

"Yeah! But still! Why in the world would you ask me something like that?!" cried Willy. "What is this some kind of reverse version of girl talk or something?!"

"I wonder what they're talking about over there?" wondered Wendy.

"I'll shall go and take a listen," said Juvia. "They're probably talking about my beloved Gray."

"Aside from that comment, we shouldn't eavesdropping on them Juvia.," said Lisanna. "It's kinda rude."

But Juvia didn't listen. She went over to the wall anyway and put her ear close to the wall and listened in on the conversation with the guys.

"Come on man. No need to be so embarrassed," she heard Droy say. "It was just a harmless question."

"Not to mention you're kinda overreacting," said Jet. "It kinda sounds like you have something to hide."

"Yeah! If you're a real man, then tell us what you're hiding!" cheered Elfman.

"I'm not hiding anything!" Willy said. "And I'm certainly not saying anything about who I like in front of you guys!"

"Come on! Now you got my curiousity sparkling," said Wakaba. "Come on. Who the lucky girl? Erza? Lucy? Juvia?

"What?!" Juvia cried. "Girls! They're talking about how much Willy loves someone! And I think he likes me!"

"What? This I gotta hear," said Cana as she went over to the wall as well.

"Cana! Come on not you too," said Lucy.

"Come on you two. Eavesdropping is rude," said Erza as she went over to the wall, but then she heard one of the guys talking.

"Tell us man! Who is it? Levy? Erza?"

As soon as she heard her name, Erza grew interest in the conversation and listened in as well. Then all the other girls were now interested into what was going on as well. So they went over to the wall too.

"Oh dear," said Carla. "Look what the girls have been reduced to. They all look like a bunch of weirdos. Take note of this child. Never do what those girls are doing right-"

She turned to her side expecting Wendy to be there, but she was surprised to see that Wendy wasn't there. It was then that she realized that Wendy had joined the other girls and was listening on the boys as well making her eyes wide with shock.

"Wendy! Not you too!"

"Hey! What's with that reaction!?" snapped Gray. "Don't tell me you actually see Juvia that way do you?"

"Whoa Gray! Calm down! I don't like Juvia that way I swear to it!" said Willy. "I just admire her and see her as a friend! That's all!"

"Why the jealously Gray?" asked Wakaba slyly. "There's no need to worry. No one's gonna steal Juvia away from you."

"Why the hell would I be worried about that?!" cried Gray.

"Your reaction practically spells it out," said Jet. "You can deny it all you want, but it's obvious that you like her."

"Yup. He likes her like a real man," said Elfman.

Now it was Gray's turn to blush. "What?! No I don't! I mean... we're just friends that's it!"

"Oh yeah? If that's true, then why are you blushing huh?" asked Macao coolly.

"He loooooves her," teased Happy.

"Shut your face cat!" snapped Gray.

"This is getting out of hand quickly," thought Willy. "Everyone's practically slightly or very drunk. I better get the heck out of here before they force me to spill the beans."

Willy quietly tiptoed away trying to get away, but then Macao grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Oh no you don't! You're not getting away that easily," he said. "Anyway getting back to you Willy, you gotta tell us man. Who do you like in the guild? Who strikes you fancy?"

"Oh come on Macao you idiot. Isn't it obvious?" said Wakaba. "Willy obviously likes-"

"NO!"

Before Wakaba could finish, Willy splashed him in the face cutting him off.

"No! Don't say it! Don't you dare say it Wakaba!" he snapped.

"Hey! What's your problem dude?" said Wakaba. "It's not like anybody hasn't figured it out already. It's so obvious who you like."

"Yeah! But I don't want you telling everybody!" said Willy. "Especially since the girls are on the other side of here!"

"Geez Willy. Calm down. You don't have to blow a gasket about it," said Max.

"Yeah. If you keep getting like that, it'll only make us even more curious," said Jet.

"So you might as well tell us who you'll like already. Inquiring minds want to know," said Droy.

"Come on you guys," said Warren. "Can't we just give the guy a break?"

"You sure about that Warren," said Macao. "There might be a possibility that Willy might have a crush on Wendy."

"WHAT?! Is it true Willy?! Do you have a crush on Wendy?! Tell me!"

"First of all, no I don't! Secondly I won't tell!"

"Come on! If you were a real man, you'd tell us already," said Elfman. "You got me wanting to know too!"

"Elfman you're not helping things here!"

"If you ain't gonna talk, then you leave us with no choice," said Macao. "Hey Natsu! Mind giving us a hand?"

"Sure thing!"

Sure enough, the fire dragon slayer who was also slightly drunk jumped into the fray.

"Oh come on Natsu! Not you too!"

"Sorry man, but if ya don't start talking..."

Then Natsu smile grew into a devilish grin and he ignited his fist on fire.

"If you don't, then I'll burn your butt off!"

Willy's face paled in horror. "Are you trying to kill me?!" he cried.

"Sounds like a plan to me!" said Gray going into his ice make stance. "If his burns don't get you to tell us then I'll freeze you instead!"

"Wait! Can't we talk about this?!"

"Alright! Let's get him guys! You too Happy!" yelled Natsu

"Aye sir!"

Back on the girl's side of the springs a loud commotion could be heard along with Willy's screams of terror.

"Just what the heck are those guys they doing to him over there?!" gasped Lucy. "It sounds like they're torturing him!"

"Oh my goodness. It sounds like Willy's got himself into quite a pickle," said Mira nonchalantly.

"Um... Sis shouldn't you be a little more concerned?" said Lisanna worriedly.

"Just I'd expect from boys. They're so unruly," humphed Carla.

"Now, now Carla. It's not their fault," said Wendy.

"That may be so and I understand why some of the boys want to know," said Levy. "But why would Natsu and Gray be interested in who Willy likes? I mean it's not like they have any interest in women."

:Who knows? Maybe Natsu and Gray want to check out the competition for their crushes or something?" wondered Cana who was now slightly sober.

Willy was now cornered on the wall with Natsu and Gray dangerously closing in on him.

"We got you now Willy!" smirked Natsu.

"Now start talking!" said Gray. "Otherwise we'll let you have it!"

"OK! OK! Alright fine! I'll talk! Just please don't kill me or blow up the place!" cried Willy conceding.

Natsu and Gray then stopped their assault and waited for Willy's answer. The girls on the other side also waited for Willy's none of them daring to speak.

"Oh man... Looks like I don't have a choice," thought Willy. "These guys are not gonna stop unless I tell them... looks like I'm gonna have to tell them."

"OK... I'll say it," he said aloud. "The person who I like...is..."

TO BE CONTINUED...
