Natsu's sent to Mermaid Heel

Mirajane was preparing drinks at the bar, humming to herself. She looked around. The guild somehow was not as noisy as usual. Maybe because a certain pink-haired dragon slayer was not around to pick fights. Or maybe because the girls were all absence. Well, except for her. The girls had all gone on shopping together. Everyone came except for Mira, who had to tend the bar. Kinana had offered to replace her, but she refused and insisted that the purple-haired girl should go and have some fun. She didn't mind really. She enjoyed working at the bar. Yes. Mirajane was the only woman in the guild at the time because all the other females had gone on shopping but her... and Erza.

Because of the increasing numbers of dark guilds, the official guilds intended to make another alliance. They started to get to know each other first and made cooperation. Fairy Tail had been in good term with Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Quatro Cerberus. Now it aimed to cooperate with Mermaid Heel. Erza was sent by Master Makarov as Fairy Tail's representative to Mermaid Heel guild. She had an appointment with Mermaid Heel's guild Master at their headquarter.

"I wonder if Erza's meeting runs smoothly. I hope so" Mira thought. Suddenly, she realized a red box, with gold linings under the bar table. "That is..." Mira kneeled and took the box. She recognized it as the gift from their Master to Mermaid Heel's Master. Makarov had prepared a gift, 'a token of friendship' for Mermaid Heel's Guildmaster. Erza was supposed to bring it. Well, she had been in a hurry. She must have forgotten.

"Oh what should I do?" Mira stood up and looked around the guild. "Everyone! Do any of you want to bring this box to Mermaid Heel guild and give it to Erza?!"

All the guys became silent and looked at Mira, incredulously. They looked terrified.

"Anyone?" Mira asked again, not realizing the tense atmosphere in the room. Suddenly, a gust of wind came into the room. When Mira could see again, the guild was totally empty.

"Oh my. I wonder why they all run away. I had thought that many of them will want to go. After all, Mermaid Heel is a female-only guild and many beautiful female mages work there." Mira sighed. She wanted to go and delivered the box to Erza herself, but then who would tend the bar?

Suddenly, Mira heard footsteps. She looked up to see who it was. Natsu walked in, with Happy flying beside his head. Natsu had gone on a solo mission with Happy not too long ago and had just come back.

"We're back!" Natsu shouted. He suddenly stopped when he realized Mira was the only one in the guild. "Hey, where's everyone?"

"Aye! No one's here except Mira."

Mira smiled at them. "Welcome back Natsu, Happy. How was your mission?"

Natsu grinned. It seemed that the job ran smoothly. "It was great! We got full payment this time and I actually got some exercise."

"Aye! Usually our payment always used to pay the damages. This time we did the mission in the forest so no one complained when Natsu destroyed things." Natsu had gone on a mission to exterminate the vulcans that lurking the forest of the nearby town. Mira chuckled.

"It's good that you finally got full payment." Suddenly, she remembered. "Natsu, could you take this box to Mermaid Heel guild and give it to Erza?"

"Hmm? What's that Mira?"

"It's a gift from our Master for Mermaid Heel's Guildmaster."

"Oh that's right. We are doing some kind of cooperation with Mermaid Heel right?" Happy remembered.

"What? Really?" Natsu asked.

Mira nodded. "Yes. The dark guilds have been increasing in numbers lately. The Guildmasters of the official guild think that it's a good time to make an alliance. But some guilds are kind of reclusive, like Mermaid Heel, or Sabertooth, before Sting became the master. Master wants to make some kind of friendly cooperation with Mermaid heel. Erza is sent there to be our representative today. She supposed to bring this box with her. It seems that she forgot."

"Hmm... I see."

"So could you?"

"Yeah I guess. But where's exactly Mermaid Heel guild is?"

"Oh, it's in the Solaria town. I think you need to take the train twice to get there."

"Ugh... train?" Natsu sulked, already feeling sick.

"Well, if you want to walk, it'll take three days to get there and I believe Erza needs to give this as soon as possible. Come on, Natsu. For the sake of our guild."

"But Mira, what about the others? Where are they? Why is the guild so empty?" Happy asked.

"The girls are all going on shopping and the guys are all working" Mira half-lied. She figured that if she told them the guys had ran away when she asked them to do this, they would ran too.

"Why don't you bring it?" Natsu asked.

"I have to tend the bar. I need to stay here and watch over the guild until someone's come back. Come on Natsu. I promise I'll make you a spicy juice with that fire fruit you like when you're back. And fish for Happy of course."

"Yay, fish!"

Natsu sighed. "Fine. Bring it and give it to Erza. Nothing hard." He took the box from Mira and walked to the door. "Let's go Happy!"

"Aye Sir!"

"Thank you Natsu, Happy!"

"Yeah sure. You better keep your promise too."

With the guys:

The guys were all huddling behind a building near Fairy Tail's headquarter. They watched as Natsu and Happy came into the guild, and went out again, carrying the box.

"Men, Natsu's doomed."

"Rest in peace, Natsu."

"But why does he go? I better face Erza with her armor and Mira in her satan soul rather than go to Mermaid Heel."

"Maybe he doesn't know."

"He's an idiot. I'm sure he doesn't know."

"Oh, poor, unfortunate soul. He doesn't know that..."

Mira's back to her work. She cleaned the bar table while humming to herself. But she felt like she forgot about something. What was it though? She stopped her work for a moment. Then suddenly, she gasped in horror.

"Oh my God! I totally forgot that Mermaid Heel prohibits any male to enter their headquarter!"

This is my new story. It's about Natsu this time. I decided to put it as humor, but I'm not sure if this is funny to you. Oh well, please review. I'm happy that many people review my last story 'Misunderstanding'. I hope you also like this story. Please review :)
