This story has no plot, and was born of my boredom and maybe something else. Who knows. This is a one-shot... maybe. I may change my mind later. Anyways, read on and enjoy.

Summary: Nice summer days are few and far in Magnolia. This is for a very, very, good reason.
It was a nice summer day in Magnolia. The sun was shining, children of multiple ages littered the streets, bugging older siblings to play with them. The air was sweet and filled with laughter that brought everyone into cheer. So, it was only natural that a certain guild in Magnolia would be having fun as well.
There was rarely anyone in Fairy Tail Guild Hall that day, as most were outside enjoying the pool and sun. Mirajane was standing lifeguard in a two-piece red bathing suit, talking animatedly with Lisanna and Wendy. Makarov was somewhere, probably perving on women. Charla, Happy, and Pantherlily sat atop the roof of the building; Charla keeping an eye on Wendy while refusing Happy's numerous fish offerings, Happy offering said fish, and Pantherlily watching, wondering when the two would - how would Gajeel put it? - get a room.
Cana was in the pool, her barrel of alcohol floating besides her and her two drinking buddies, Macao Conbolt and Wakaba Mine. Many people were avoiding that area, for fear of accidentally touching the cursed barrel, and incurring the wrath of its overly possessive owner.
Levy sat, sunbathing and reading a book - Gajeel was sat too, about seven chairs away, hiding behind an umbrella, holding something that looked suspiciously like binoculars - while watching Jet and Droy continue to look anywhere but each other. She was pretty sure she had missed something big, and they both refused to tell her (though Gajeel saw it all with his Totally-Not-Binoculars).
Laxus and the Raijinshuu were sitting near the Lifeguard Station, Bixlow playing with his dolls, Evergreen refusing to go into the water until she had found 'That Fake Fairy Queen'. Freed was sitting next to Laxus, staring at him, while Laxus was totally not checking Mira out. At all. Anyone who insisted otherwise was mysteriously zapped by a stray piece of electricity- Laxus had nothing to do with that either.
Most enjoyed their fun, while others - take Max for example - sold their merchandise, trying to not notice the Green and Black haired duo duking it out… in… ways that children shouldn't have to know about. (Bisca and Alzack were less than pleased when they felt Max glancing at them more often than not, and promptly asked him in a very nice way to stop. Or else.)
Heck, even Loke was out and about, flirting in his usual way, complimenting almost everything with certain… assets… and trying to convince Reedus to paint him with his latest-just-this-minute-girlfriend. Usually, Loke wouldn't have gotten away with half of what he was doing. Had Aries or Lucy been there, he would've been forced back to the Celestial Spirit World ages ago, and his girlfriend for that hour would have been wondering where her 'Absolutely Most Positively Gorgeous Hunk of Man and Predator' was. In those words. This is Loke we're talking about.
However, neither Lucy nor Aries was there to stop him, so he felt no need to. (He would apologize to Aries later. Maybe bring back a souvenir.) Aries was in the Spirit World, obviously, but that brought the question, where was Lucy?
Well, Lucy Heartfillia was inside Fairy Tail Guild Hall. As stated before, there was next to no one inside; save for a certain very-important Ice-Make Mage, Spirit Mage, and Dragon Slayer. All of which were sitting at a table, looking as if someone had just run their dog over with a bike, and then proceeded to poke at it with a stick, asking them if they thought it was still alive. By translation, that meant - as Laxus would put it - they were depressed as hell. No one knew why the three were sitting at a table, fully clothed and staring at empty mugs filled with nothing. No one knew why, and since Levy's multiple attempts to know why and get them away from the table and outside failed, no one else bothered to figure it out.
Natsu, Lucy, and Gray all sighed in sync, and Natsu would have usually made some remark about how creepy it was that this was the fifth time it happened! but today was not a usual day, and so he did nothing other than look back at his mug and say nothing.
"Gray?" Natsu turned his head slightly to look at his golden haired teammate.
"Yes Lucy?" Gray replied in the same dead, monotone voice she had.
"Why are we here again?" She turned her head to look at the two of them, she was to the far right.
"We got in trouble."
"And whose fault was it again?"
"Natsu's." Gray sighed out.
Lucy turned her head more and locked eyes with the pyromaniac.
"Natsu?"
"Yeah Lucy?"
"Why are we in trouble again?"
Natsu stared in disbelief, then sagged his shoulders and proceeded to answer, "Well-" until the Guild Doors were broken down.
All three looked on in shock at the door killer, their eyes trying to get a good look - the sun was glaring from behind the person, and burning their eyes. The door killer was a female, that they were certain about. The female wore a red bikini, not unlike Mirajane's, which was almost the exact shade of her hair. She wore a fierce expression that would make any grown man whimper and cower. Actually, that was what all three teens did upon realizing just who they were staring at, ducking down and hiding under the table. One of the three sounded like they were almost to tears, and it was safe to say that said person did not have golden hair.
There was one thought crossing the mind of the part-of-Team-Natsu Group. That thought seemed to ring louder the closer the female got, her brown eyes gleaming. Finally, the person stopped, and promptly grabbed the table and threw it, so she could get to the people under it.
WAAAAH! IT'S HER! was the one thought that swam through the youths' heads, before they all jumped about two feet in the air and grabbed onto each other, cuddling in fear.
Erza Scarlet looked at the three, and wondered what she had done wrong.
It was around Six when Levy, followed closely by Juvia, went into the Guild Hall to check up on their seemingly depressed friends. Slowly, they opened the door, stared for all about ten seconds, and ran like the Hounds of Hell were on their heels.
It was probably close enough anyways, and as the two girls neared to pool, they jumped in, swam up to Cana, stole so-and-so much of whatever type of alcohol she drank, and gulped it all down while hugging each other and crying. They needed to forget what had happened, what had scarred them so. Erza was teaching Lucy how to use a sword, and she was great at it.
So they sobbed, and the majority of Fairy Tail looked on and wondered just what had done this to them. Poor fools would never know what hit them.
