Lucy had stared at oh so familiar guild hall and sighed, she had never been happier to see it. She had just been out on a job that lasted about two weeks and was glad to be back. She opened the doors to see everyone fighting and by the looks of it, this was the work of none other than Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster.
Natsu banged his forehead onto Grays and growled, while Gray practically did the same and said in sync "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Lucy couldn't help but laugh she missed the pointless fights and the boys silly disputes. Everyone froze and followed the sound of the laughter back to Lucy and cheered as she had returned back to the Guild. Natsu and happy cried tears of happiness and tackled her to the ground with an attempt hug.
"Ouch! Guys, there are nicer ways to greet a girl!" she scowled sitting on her knees so she wasn't in anyone's way. Natsu sat cross-legged in front of her bawling with happy. "Because you were gone, we couldn't go out on jobs to get money for food!" his tears getting worse at the thought of no food at his house. "Well thanks guys, for a moment there I thought you really missed me, but you're just worried about food." Lucy said in a rather sarcastic tone. "Why didn't you just go out on a job? If you're that desperate for money for food you should've just done that." Natsu stopped the crying immediately and smiled that cute, boyish caring smile and said "I don't go out on jobs unless I have my partner, were a team now and I can't go on jobs without ya." Lucy blushed just a little and smiled and told Natsu to pick a job to go on together.
She walked over to her usual bar stool to talk to Mirajane. "Hey" Mira turned around and said Hi then giggled a little devilishly (which makes sense seeing as her power is to possess Satan's soul.) "What was with the laugh?" Lucy asked rather curiously. "Oh nothing, I was just thinking how you and Natsu are meant to be." She smiled so innocently while Lucy looked like she had been struck by lightning. She was about to explain nothing was going on between them when master Makarov yelled at everyone to shut up and to listen to him "As you all know I take everyone out from the guild hall to a two week break to a place of my choice, however this year I think we should have a group decision as to where we go this year. So if you have any suggestions please tell Mira, and by the end of the week we should have our group decision and be ready to go for the summer. Natsu immediately jumped up and suggested they go to an active volcano, as he wanted to eat the 'fire' there. Everyone in the guild glared at him and yelled no. Then the arguing began over where they went for their vacation. When Makarov scolded them all Lucy saw her chance to propose her idea to the guild "Hey, what if we all went to the beach in the next town? There's a brilliant hotel there plus if anyone didn't want to be at the beach they could go find something to do in the town" she finished. The guild was quiet, which was rare, but it didn't look like there were any objections to the idea. Makarov smiled put his fist in the air and shouted "FAIRY TAILS GOING TO THE BEACH!"
