Hello everyone! I'm ScarletFoxx and this is my first Fairy Tail fanfic! This takes place right after the Grand Magic Games (I'm not caught up on the manga, only the anime so I don't know all the details past the where the anime is). I hope you all enjoy!

Chapter 1~ Something's Up

Regular POV

"Take it back you stupid stripper!" A pink haired boy shouts, jumping over a wooden table to catch the raven haired mage that sat across him by the collar.

"Make me Flame Brain!" The ice mage replies, punching Natsu in the face and sending him flying back.

"I'll get you for that droopy eyes!" Natsu shouts, peeling himself from the table that his body had smashed when it was thrown, platters of food sent flying into the air.

"Bring it squinty eyes!" Gray replies, throwing his clothes to the side out of habit. The two clash and soon enough the entire guild is involved, tearing up the guild hall.

"Just like old times." Mira says from behind the counter, a small smile on her face as she neatly ducks out of the way of an incoming Elfman who slams into the wall behind her, muttering something about real men before passing out.

"They act as if The Grand Magic Games and the Tenrou incident never happened. They'll never change." Erza replies, calmly eating her strawberry cake without looking at the combatants that tussled in the guild hall. That is until Gray is sent flying into her, knocking her head down face first into the cake before her. He quickly picks himself up and dashes back into the fray, mindless of the demon he just activated. Erza sits up slowly and runs a finger down her face in shock, licking the frosting at the tip. "You dare make me ruin my cake?!" She shouts, jumping into the battle herself, cake bits still coating her face. Mira laughs to herself.

"Looks like you haven't changed either Erza." She muses aloud with a laugh to herself. Suddenly the guild doors slam open a Gajeel stands there, a nervous looking Wendy behind him, both of their Exceeds standing behind them.

"Salamander!" He shouts, agitation clear in his voice. Natsu's sensitive eats pick up his calls right away and he quickly throws Max into a wall before turning to face the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"What you want some to Iron Breath?!" Natsu shouts, jumping up onto a table to be heard before a flying Jet slams into him, knocking them both back into the mayhem of the fight.

"I don't have time for this idiot right now." Gajeel mutters under his breath, storming into the mini battle and grabbing Natsu's arm, whispering something in his ear forcefully. Natsu's face immediately pales and he nods, the two dragon slayers forcing themselves free from the fight, Happy soaring down from above to join them as he sees his partner heading out.

"Hey where are you going Pyro? Did that battle get too rough for ya?!" Gray shouts as a challenge, drawing attention to the escaping fire mage.

"Shut it Ice Princess something came up! I'll be sure to beat you up later alright?" Natsu shouts over his shoulder. Gray looks at him with a wisp of concern, Natsu never having left a brawl like this before, but is soon swept back into the fight as Elfman recovers and attacks him. Gajeel and Natsu join Wendy at the entrance and with quick nods exchanged between the three. Long after the three dragon slayers and Exceeds had left the fight had finally come to an end, Erza standing triumphantly above a cowering Gray, the other members left moaning around her.

"That'll teach you to mess with my cake!" She declares angrily, easily lifting him up with one arm, remnants of cake still smeared across her face, and throwing him towards the door, naturally right as it opens. Gray hits an unprepared Lucy head on, knocking her backwards with him on top of her.

"Agghhhh Gray!" She shouts, pushing him off of her and dusting herself off, blind to Juvia's jealous stare from behind one of the shattered tabletops. "Uh Erza why is their frosting all over your face?" The red head mage's hand slowly goes to her face, eyes widening in horror as she realized she never cleaned it, and she rushes off to do so as Lucy looks around. "Another fight?" She questions looking at the wrecked guild hall and shaking her head. "Odd…. Natsu isn't even here?" She wonders aloud, expecting to see her fiery partner in the middle of it as always. Gray pushes himself up from the ground.

"Nope Flame Head left in the middle of the fight." The ice mage says, standing up and dusting himself off.

"That doesn't sound like him…" Lucy murmurs, concern entering her voice. "And I was just about to ask if he wanted to go on a quick job so I could pay my rent…" Lucy pouts, crossing her arms. Gray shrugs, reclaiming his clothes from a timid Juvia who appeared as if she was trying to inhale them, entirely unnoticed by the owner of course.

"I'm sure he'll be back here in the morning Lucy, it can wait one more day right?" Erza asks, her face freshly cleaned as the rest of the guild began to clean up the mess before Makarov yelled at them all for the huge mess they created. Lucy nods, still looking disappointed. "Wonderful! In the morning Natsu, Happy, and Gray can accompany us on a big mission with a large reward!" Erza declares.

"Hey why do I have to go on a mission with the Pyro?" Gray asks, silencing when Erza glares at him. "Er I mean I can't wait!" He stammers, stepping back from the rage filled S class mage. Lucy shakes her head with a small smile.

"So much for a quick job that would get me just enough for my rent." She mutters quietly to herself. "Well anyway I better head home to get packed for tomorrow." The Celestial mage says, quickly making her exit as the Guild Master discovers the mess and begins to scold the guild for already destroying the guildhall they just got back. She quickly heads home and begins to pack, curious on what could have possibly dragged her dragon slayer friend from a brawl, the question staying on her mind until she fell asleep.

And there is the first chapter! I hope you all enjoyed and please give me a wonderful review if you did! Any and all feedback is appreciated and will encourage me to get the next chapter out sooner and better than the one before! Thanks for reading!
