A/N: This story is based off the song by Rodney Atkins "Farmers Daughter"

Summary: On a farm in mid June, the summer heat just kicking in. Natsu goes to a farm for a summer job. After this summer, he will be going to the college "Fairy Tail". On this farm, after about a week, a beautiful girl shows up, stirring feelings inside them. But with only the summer, can Natsu say goodbye?


A strong, pink haired male sat on his couch. Wearing a pair of jeans and a white tank top. The sun had been belting on his hometown, and showed no signs of letting up.

Along with his strange natural colored hair, he had a strange natural colored cat. The blue kitten crawled into his lap, meowing. The meow serving as a reminder of the fact it was time to eat.

"Alright, I'll get you your precious tuna." He stood up, the cat jumping off his lap and running into the kitchen. He couldn't understand how this cat could stand the heat.
While getting his weird cat his food, the devilishly handsome man clicked his answering machine.

"Hey Natsu~! Just wanted to wish you happy birthday! Hope you're doing well, considering the fact, well, it's not important. Maybe if you're interested, we can hang out sometime today. I'd love to see you. Okay, goodbye."

Natsu exhaled. His childhood friend Lisanna always called him on his birthday. And today was the only day he didn't answer.
He didn't mean to, Natsu just didn't feel like talking.

"MEOOOOW!" The distressed call of his cat shook him from his thoughts.
"Gosh darn it Happy!" He shook his head and set the cats food on the floor.

Natsu walked out the door and picked up the newspaper. Bringing it inside and looking at it.

Help wanted on the Heartfilia farm for the summer. They will be paid handsomely. Must not be afraid to get their hands dirty and work till sundown. Strong. Come to this address. 13348 143rd Magnolia Way.
-Jude Heartfilia

His hazel eyes scanned the article and shrugged. He could definitely use a summer job.

"I'll be back in a while Happy." He went and poured cat food in his dish, making sure he had water. Natsu grabbed his car keys and exited his home.

The heat of the outside world hit him like a tone of bricks. Wondering how hot his car was due to the fact it was sitting in the sun all yesterday and all this morning.
He growled a almost inhuman growl and went to his old red pick up truck. Opening the door, he felt the warm air inside.

Taking a second to rethink this whole thing, he shook his head and got inside. Starting it up, and leaving his house.


Magnolia Way wasn't to far from his home, but it was more secluded from the area. A creek on the west side, a barn to the east Not to mention many things in between.
A very nice farm.

"I can understand why this man would need some help." Natsu mumbled softly to himself, finding himself drive down the gravel road and parking his truck.

He removed himself from the seat and walked up to the front door. He cleared his throat and knocked three times. It is answered by a man who looks as if he was in his mid forties. Jude Heartfilia.

"Hello sir, I saw your help wanted post in the paper and I would like offer my service. I can definitely take this job." Natsu grinned his cocky grin. But spoke in a polite tone.
"I see that you would do a good job. When would you like to start?"He looked at him curiously.
"I'm willing to start right away."
"Okay, welcome to the Heartfilia farm..." He stuck his hand out.
"Natsu Dragneel." He smiled and shook his hand. "What would you like me to do?"
"The fence needs fixing, the peaches need picking,the cows need bringing round. And anything else you see could be done around here."

Natsu nodded. Getting straight to work.


Natsu had only spent a week there. But he had already started to hate it. The blazing heat, all this work. The only thing he looked forward to was his break when he would relax underneath the peach tree and cool off in the creek.

"Maybe I should just quit... Take a different job in some place that has air conditioning." Natsu mumbled to himself as he began to walk up the small hill from the creek, pulling on his tank over his toned body. Silently cursing to himself. But his thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a girl.

She had big chocolate brown eyes. Blonde hair that was a little below her shoulders. Toned, long legs. A slim, but not totally thin waistline. And not to mention, a fairly big bust size.

Maybe, quitting would be out of the question.
