Lucy Heartfilia was warm in her bed, when she heard some giggling coming from the other side of the room. Lucy opened her eyes.

"Huh?" she yawned, while looking around the room.

"What do you two think you're doing?" she yelled at the pinkette and blue fur ball that were currently going through her desk drawers.

"Aw, we're not doing anything bad!" Natsu replied with a big grin. "We were just trying to find your novel. Figured it would be a good time to read what you've written so far, since it's snowing outside and you were still asleep."

"We were originally going to get you so we can all go to the guild together, but you were sleeping. I wanted to wake you up since you were snoring so loudly, but Natsu told me to let you go." Chimed Happy.

"Shut it cat, or you'll get my famous Lucy kick. And stay out of my desk, don't you two know that it's rude to break in and go through people's stuff?" Snapped a blushing Lucy as she got out of bed and tried shoving the boys out the door.

"Alright, alright. We'll head to the guild now. You want to come along?" asked Natsu

"I just woke up! I still have to get showered and dressed, and it's cold, and snowy….I hate the snow! Today would be a perfect day to stay in and work on my novel." Lucy whined.

"I guess hanging out with fictional characters is now better than hanging out with real friends huh?" Natsu sighed

"I guess we are no longer important to her, Natsu. Some friend she is, and all we wanted to do is spend time with her and enjoy the weather." Happy replied dejectedly.

Lucy sighed, she knew that they were just trying to guilt her into going out in the cold, but even with this knowledge, it was working.

"Fine. I'll go to the guild, but I still have to get ready. You guys go on ahead, and I'll meet you at the guild." Lucy huffed.

"Great! We'll see you there, then. If you aren't there in an hour, then we will come back to get you and it'll be punishment time. See ya soon!" Natsu yelled with a mischievous grin. "Lets go Happy!"

"AYE SIR"

And with that the two teammates jumped out of the window. Lucy looked after them and to her sadness saw that the snow was starting to pick up.

"Great, there goes my plans for today." Lucy sighed and then smiled. She looked at the clock and started walking to the bathroom. I better start getting ready now, or the boys will show up thinking I skipped out on them.

59 minutes later, Lucy walked into the guild and was surprised to see the guild in full swing even with the snow. Doesn't anyone here think that it's a good idea to stay inside where it's warm like a normal person? Then again this is Fairy Tail, we aren't exactly normal.

"Hey Luce!" called Natsu, waving for Lucy to come and join him, Erza, and Gray at their table. "You made it just in time, I was just about to leave for your place to see if you were skipping out on us." He grinned dangerously as Lucy nervously sat down at their table.

"Oi Flame-brain, knock it off. Don't you know how to treat a lady?" Gray commented, causing Juvia to swoon in the background.

"Who you calling Flame-brain, Ice Princess?" yelled Natsu. "That's it, I'm going to kick your…."

"Enough" growled Erza. "If you want to fight, then take it outside. The Master is out on business and I will not have him coming home to the guild in shambles again."

"Hmm, that's not a bad idea Erza. Hey Gray, how about we settle this like men. I challenge you to a snow ball fight!" Natsu yelled with a huge smile.

"Uh, remember the last time that happened? The half the guild was covered in ice, while the other half was burnt to the ground." Mira interjected while bringing Lucy a hot chocolate and Erza a slice of her favorite cake.

"Yeah, but we'll be careful this time! We won't destroy anything." Natsu pleaded.

"Well….How about this? Erza and I will observe the battle and can end it at the first sign that it is getting out of hand. Is that a deal?" Mira asked.

"Deal! Let's get this done, ya Stripping Snowman." Yelled Natsu, as he runs to the back of the guild.

"Hold it, I want in on this battle too." Growled Gajeel.

"Snow ball fights are man!" said Elfman

"Come-on Lu-chan! Let's get in on this too! This could be a lot of fun!" Levy laughed to her best friend.

"Fine." conceded Lucy. This could be interesting, and help me get ideas for my novel.

Everyone met behind the guild where the pool was frozen over. The teams were divided up as evenly as possible. In the end the teams were Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Elfman and Lisanna vs Gray, Juvia, Panterlilly, Gajeel, and Levy.

"Why does Levy have to be on the opposite team? I thought we were supposed to be a team" Lucy whined.

"It's ok Lucy, this just makes it more interesting!" Levy said with a big, and slightly evil smile.

"Everyone pay attention. Here are the rules: No one is allowed to use their magic. Flying is allowed for the Exceeds. Erza and I are not to be hit with any stray snowballs. Loser plays the punishment game. If the guild is damaged in anyway, everyone has to play the punishment game." Mira grinned evilly, causing everyone to gulp. "Are the rules clear? Good. Good luck to everyone and let the best team win. Get into your positions and on my count, the battle will start."

3….2...

Mira didn't even get to one, before Natsu was hit in the face with a massive snowball, compliments of Gray and Gajeel.

"Cheating is not, man" yelled Elfman as he threw a boulder sized snowball at the opposing team.

"That's it, you're a dead man you Pervy Popsicle." Natsu screamed while throwing as many snowballs as he could at Gray.

While to boys were battling it out, the girls built up tiny defenses to hide behind, dodging flying snowballs as they did so. The defenses were half-decent, considering they were made in a hurry, but the Exceeds, especially the little blue one, were taking great pleasure in dropping snow from above.

The "No magic rule" was quickly broken, when Natsu tried using his fire breath to melt down Gray's defense snow piles. Soon it was a complete free for all with Gray creating a great ice castle to hide in. Lisanna had transformed into a snow rabbit and began to bury the ice castle. Elfman and Natsu greatly enjoyed storming Gray's castle while trying to get past Gajeel and Pantherlilly, who was going all out in his battle form.

Meanwhile, Juvia and Gray created a blizzard near the center of the castle where they were hiding. Happy was pelting anyone he could with snowballs, but he was careful to avoid hitting Mira and Erza, fearing punishment (smart cat). Levy and Lucy were having it out near the pool. I can't believe I'm actually having fun in the snow. Just as this thought crossed Lucy's mind, a great crash was heard. The girls stopped what they were doing and stared as the ice castle began melting and falling apart thanks to a flame-brained idiot using his fire magic. The girls were running away from the wave of water when it was frozen before it could do any damage.

"Nice going ya damn pyro. You destroyed my fort and nearly flooded the place." Screamed Gray.

"Well, if you wouldn't have cheated and used magic, then this wouldn't have happened." Natsu retorted angrily.

"Really, Flame-for-Brains?! You started using your magic first."

"Yeah, but only after you hit me before we were supposed to."

"Oh, you poor baby. Can't ya take a hit?"

"I'll show you how well I can take a hit, bring it Ice Queen."

"You're on, pyro"

"That's enough!" Yelled Lucy, while stepping between them. "This battle is over, it's a draw. You both cheated, and by doing so, you forfeit your win. End this now, before we all get punished. Walk away, now."

"Fine." Natsu huffs. "I'll be the real man and walk away."

Just as Natsu turned and started walking away with Lucy, a stray snowball, that was "accidently" thrown by Gajeel, hits him in the back of the head. Natsu burst into flames and melted the ice that they didn't realize they were standing on. Unfortunately, they were standing on the ice that was covering the pool. With a loud splash, both Natsu and Lucy fell into the freezing water of the pool.

"I'm sorry Luce, I didn't know we were standing on the pool. I didn't mean to get you sick. Will you forgive me?" Natsu pleaded, while wrapping another blanket around Lucy, back at her apartment.

"I don't know. I feel like crap and it's all your fault." Lucy growled with a sniffle.

Thanks to the dunking she took, Lucy managed to catch a cold. Even though she was pulled from the water quickly, the damage was already done. Levy felt terrible about what happened, and forced Gajeel to fess up to throwing the snowball. He was currently receiving punishment from both Mira and Erza. Of course Natsu didn't get sick thanks to his constant boiling temperature.

"I know and I'm really sorry. Can I get you anything? More blankets? A drink? Food?" Natsu asked worriedly.

"I'm good with blankets, but can you get me some tea, please?" Lucy said with a small smile. Natsu just nodded and took off to the kitchen. Who knew that he was so good at taking care of someone when they are sick? Lucy though as she listened to her partner move things in the kitchen to make her tea. Natsu quickly returned and gave her the steaming mug.

"Thank you, Natsu." Lucy said with a shiver.

"Ya sure you don't want any more blankets?" Natsu asked with a frown.

"I don't think I have any more in the apartment and I already have three of them here."

"I think I have a solution. Make room." And with that statement Natsu sat down next to Lucy on her couch and put the blankets around both of them.

"Let me know if it gets too warm, ok? Natsu said with a shy smile as Lucy put her head on his shoulder.

Maybe snow days aren't so bad after all. And with that thought Lucy fell asleep.
