Hey readers!

I edited bits and parts of the story, 'cause a really helpful guest review pointed out my flaws. Although I don't agree with some of it, most of it was really helpful. I wish I could send you a reply. The grammatical flaws, well, they are flaws. But for the characters: I have made some changes in Natsu's and Jellal's personalities. Thank you so much, whatever-your-name-is!

All reviews are helpful to me. And as this is my first fan fiction, I really want it to be good! Leave a review! It really helps!

VACATION DISASTER

Chapter 1

That Pink-Haired Devil

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, but I do own this fan fiction.

"Lucy! Come fast!" Layla called out from her minivan.

Lucy called back from her bedroom, "Coming Mom!" Lucy Heartfilia, age 17, a proud student of Fairy Tail High, was on vacation. Her worst enemy. She preferred her Christmas vacation being spent at home, watching T.V and eating cake. Then, her mother came up with something which she thought was a brilliant idea. She and her school friends planned a trip with their kids to the beach resort at Akane. It was like the five of them, and just their kids and spouses. They were going to spend the entire vacation there, which was like a month, and pure torture for Lucy. She really loved snuggling in a corner and reading to her heart's content.

Lucy came down the stairs with her small suitcase and her phone in her shorts pocket. She took one look at herself in the mirror. She thought she looked okay. She was wearing pink shorts and a white t-shirt. At the place they were gonna go, was super hot. She tied her blond hair in a pony tail, put a cap, and walked towards the door.

Layla looked at her with an annoyed expression. "You took long."

Lucy looked around and asked, "Isn't Dad coming?"

Layla shook her head and said, "No. Busy with work."

Lucy gave a little sigh. "He's always busy."

Layla smiled and said, "Now cheer up. This trip's gonna be fun, I promise. Not a bit like those boring business trips your dad made us go. And guess what? Erza's coming!" Lucy brightened up when she heard that.

Erza Belserion, who preferred to be called Erza Scarlet ever since she turned 18, was Lucy's maternal cousin. They knew each other since they were infants, and were best friends. Erza was the total opposite of Lucy, yet they got along perfectly well. She too loved books, but her choice of books was a little perverted.

"So, is Aunt Eileen coming?" Lucy asked.

"No. She's busy too. But I think she deserves a vacation, seeing all that she's going through." Layla replied.

Eileen was Erza's mother and Layla's sister, and had brought up Erza all on her own. She even taught Erza self-defense.

"Get in the van, Lucy. We'll go pick up Erza then go straight to Akane." Lucy got in the van.

They reached Erza's house which was 30 minutes away from their house. Erza tackled Lucy into a bone-crushing hug, so did Eileen do to Layla.

"Lucy! Come have some strawberry cake!" Erza cried.

"Actually dear, we don't have time for strawberry cake. Sorry Eileen, but we are running a little late for our meeting time. I wish you could come, though." Layla said sadly.

Eileen laughed and said, "It's okay! I'll try to make it in a few weeks, if I can! See you Lucy and Erza. Take care, and give me a call when you reach. Bye!"

Erza kept her luggage in the trunk in the back of the vehicle (which were four huge white suitcases printed with strawberry cakes!) and got in the backseat with Lucy.

They all were on their way again. Erza immediately started a conversation. Layla was driving, but she could hear it, and was grinning at some parts.

"Hey Lucy, how is school?"

"It's fun! Levy, Cana and I have so much fun together! Although Cana teases me a lot, and is a big pervert, she's a lot of fun. Levy is like my twin in all but looks and height."

"And chest size." Erza added, grinning.

Lucy blushed and said, "Erza! Stop it!"

"So Lucy, caught any boyfriend yet?"

Lucy gave a groan and said, "Nope. Looks like my Mr. Perfect does not exist."

Erza rolled her eyes and said, "So, how does your Mr. Perfect look like?"

Lucy's eyes went all dreamy and said, "He should have lovely eyes, like the color of a gemstone, really cool hair, body of a God, and a heart of gold."

Erza snorted and said, "Lucy, your Mr. Perfect is really way of your reach."

Layla smirked and said, "So Erza, who is that blue-haired guy you keep staring at in Fairy Tail College? Didn't think I'd notice whenever I pick you up?"

Erza turned into a shade very similar to her hair color and stuttered, "J-jellal?"

Lucy whipped her head around and said, "The hottest guy in Fairy Tail College? Him? The heartthrob?"

Erza slowly nodded her head. "I may or may not have a little crush on him." She said in a small voice.

Lucy gave a nudge and said, "Awww!" Layla laughed.

Layla shook the two cousins who were sleeping in the backseat. "Wake up! We're here!" Erza and Lucy jerked awake.

They quickly pulled their luggage out of the vehicle. When they looked up, a gasp escaped from their mouths. "Wow…"

The Sun Resort was huge, very huge, and very posh-looking. When they stepped inside, a resort worker took their luggage to their rooms, yes, rooms. Layla said that there would be an arrangement of who'd be sharing a room with who once they meet up with everyone.

Lucy asked curiously, "Who all are gonna be there?"

Layla replied, "Well, let's see," she started counting using her fingers "Jennifer Lockser with her daughter. Mika Fullbuster and her son, who also has a friend coming along. Anna Strauss and her kids. And, of course, Grandeeney and Igneel Dragneel. They're coming with their kids and one friend of one of their kids."

Erza said thoughtfully, "Hmm…That's a lot of people."

Layla smiled and said, "It was always Jennifer, Mika, Anna, Grandeeney and me. Igneel would also be there. Even Silver, Mika's husband. But he passed away a few years back. He was a real gentleman." Layla added, sadly. She looked at her watch and then said, "Oh my! It's already time for us to meet! Follow me, girls!"

Erza and Lucy followed Layla through another exit of the resort. It led to the lovely beach. Erza said with approval, "It's very pleasant."

Lucy looked at her with disbelief. "It's awesome, Erza! By the way, Mom, where are the others?"

As if to answer her question, they heard a voice calling out, "Layla! Over here!"

They turned and saw a blue-haired woman calling out to them. She looked about as old as Layla. She was standing outside a big beach house.

Layla ran and cried out, "Grandeeney! Both women hugged each other tightly. Grandeeney exclaimed, "Oh Layla! You're looking beautiful, as usual!"

Layla giggled and said, "Not so bad yourself, Grandeeney!"

They pulled away, and then Grandeeney saw Lucy and Erza. "Are these your daughters? They are so lovely! This one looks just like you!" Grandeeney gave both of them a warm hug.

"No, no! This is Lucy, my daughter. And this is Erza, my niece. She is one year older than Lucy, and studies in Fairy Tail College." Layla said.

Grandeeney smiled at them and said, "Come on in, girls. Almost everyone's here. Except for Mika, of course. Always late."

They went inside the beach house. Lucy was feeling pretty happy up till now. IT didn't seem anything like the boring trips her father took them to. She was beginning to think that she might make some new friends.

When they reached the drawing room, Grandeeney said, "This is our summer house. We could all live here. The Resort doesn't mind us staying here instead of the rooms in there. As long as we are paying for the other activities, and beach, they don't care."

Layla exclaimed, "That's a brilliant idea! But what about our luggage? It's not with us; it's in our rooms at the resort."

Grandeeney smiled and said, "Correction: it's in your rooms in this beach house. Come let me show you around."

They followed Grandeeney to a big room. "Layla, this where we are gonna be sleeping! You, Mika, Jennifer, Anna and me!"

Layla gave a gasp."It's decorated the way just like you used to in your room whenever we came over your house for a nightover!" Grandeeney nodded her head with a smile.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Dragneel, where are we going to sleep?" Lucy asked politely. Grandeeney said, "Pfft…call me Aunt Grandeeney. Come dears, I'll show you your room."

They followed her to another room. There were two girls already there. Grandeeney introduced them to Lucy and Erza.

"This is my daughter Wendy," she said, pointing to a 13 year-old girl with long blue hair "And this is Juvia Lockser." Juvia had light blue hair as well, but looked as old as Lucy.

Lucy said, "Hey! You're from my class!"

Juvia smiled and said, "Yes. But we haven't actually spoken to each other. Hope we can be friends."

Wendy also gave an adorable smile and said, "Hi! Can I call you Lucy-nee and Erza-nee? I don't have any older sisters to have girl talks with, so…"

Erza gave a big smile and pulled Wendy into a bone-crushing hug and exclaimed, "So cuuute! Of course, we are all your older sisters over here."

Grandeeney smiled to herself and slowly walked away from the room towards her own. Layla was with Jennifer and they were talking to each other.

"And your daughter looks just like you!" Jennifer exclaimed.

"So does yours!" Grandeeney added.

"Oh Grandi! Come sit with us. Where is Anna?" Layla asked.

A beautiful woman walked in. She looked very young, as old as Erza. She had long white hair, which seemed to flow.

"Hi, I'm Mirajane. I'm Anna's older daughter, and this is my sister Lisanna. Mom had a very urgent business trip, so just Lisanna, my brother Elfman and I have come. Elfman has gone with the other male members to get the food."

All the ladies smiled and said, "Well, why don't you go find the room where the other girls are? It's on the first floor. Make yourselves comfortable."

"Sure." Said Lisanna and they walked up the stairs to the first floor.

They found all the girls sitting and talking with each other.

When Lucy turned to look at tem, she gave a gasp. "Oh my God! You are Mirajane Strauss, right? I've seen you on the cover page of the magazine Sorcerer Weekly. And even your sister, Lisanna Strauss!"

Both sisters smiled. Lisanna gave a sweet smile and said, "Hi all, I'm Lisanna. I may be a cover model for Sorcerer Weekly, but trust me; I'm just a normal school-going girl. I study in Fairy Tail High School."

Erza smiled and said, "That's nice to know. I am Erza, this is Lucy my cousin, and she and Juvia here too study in Fairy Tail High School. They are in their final year."

Lisanna smiled at them. "So am I. Mira-nee goes to Fairy Tail College. So does Elf-nee."

Wendy, who was quiet all this while said, "I study in Fairy Tail Middle School."

Erza checked her watch and said, "C'mon guys, it's already time for lunch. Let's go downstairs. I'm sure the rest of our group must be back." "Yeah!" Everyone else agreed.

They went downstairs, chatting merrily.

Grandeeney saw them and said, "Just in time. We are having lunch in the hall balcony. It's pretty big. You girls can help with getting the cutlery."

Juvia and Lucy went to the kitchen to get glasses and juice. Erza and Mirajane had volunteered to keep the plates, and they were pretty fast with their work. Wendy and Lisanna were outside, helping them. Juvia grabbed the glasses and walked quickly. But then she bumped into someone.

"Whoa! Be careful where you are going, girl!"

She looked up, and saw a raven-haired boy looking at her.

Lucy appeared just then and said, "Juvia what are you doing? Hurry up with the glasses."

And then she saw the boy and Juvia blushing profusely. Lucy smirked and then whispered into Juvia's ear, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you guys."

Juvia turned into a deeper shade of red and whispered angrily, "It's not like that, Lucy! Don't turn into Juvia's love rival!"

Lucy titled her head. Love rival? But I didn't do anything.

The boy straightened up and said, "I'm Gray Fullbuster. And I'm guessing that you are Juvia and Lucy." The girls nodded.

Lucy asked, "How did you know?"

Gray gave a grimace and said, "Because a scarlet-haired demon outside is yelling out your names at the top of her voice."

"Oh shit! We totally forgot about Erza's strawberry cake! Run!" Juvia and Lucy chorused together.

Lucy quickly grabbed Erza's Sweet Surprise strawberry cake and ran outside.

"We're sorry, ma'am." Lucy and Juvia said, their heads bowed before the scarlet-haired girl.

She seemed happier now, now that she had strawberry cake in her hands. "It's alright. Don't be late next time."

Gray mumbled, "Scary."

They were the only ones outside on the balcony.

"Where are the others?" Lucy asked Gray.

Gray replied, "Getting the food. Lisanna and Wendy are with Mirajane and Elfman. Natsu and Gajeel are fighting each other, while Jellal, my friend, is enjoying the scene."

Erza suddenly choked on a bit of strawberry cake. "D-do you mean to s-say Jellal F-Fernandez?"

Gray nodded his head. "Why?"

Lucy blurted out, "That's because she has a cru-" Erza gave Lucy a punch.

Gray smirked and understood the situation. Things were about to get really awkward so Lucy decided to call the others to the balcony. She was walking slowly towards the door, when she collided with someone running.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…" Lucy started saying until she realized who she had collided with. This guy had…pink hair? He looked up. He looked really annoyed. Lucy just realized how beautiful his onyx eyes were, until he started speaking.

"Sorry my foot! Where the hell are your eyes? Can't they see a hot guy in front of them?"

Lucy almost slapped herself for thinking that he had beautiful eyes. "Ugh…He's so full of himself!"

He then snapped his fingers in front of her eyes and said, "Wake up, princess! I know you are staring at this," he pointed at himself "And it's creeping me out. So please stop it." He smirked and waved his hand and went to the bathroom.

Lucy just stood there. She then raised her hands, and slapped herself. "Get in control, Lucy!"

All of them were sitting outside at the balcony. They were having an introduction session. Lucy found most of the people very friendly unlike some she had just met. Igneel Dragneel was a very friendly man. He had red hair, and teeth which looked a lot like fangs. The pink-haired narcissist was his son, Natsu Dragneel. Lucy wondered where he got the pink from. Wendy seemed looked a lot like her mother.

Jennifer Lockser and Juvia Lockser looked like sisters, except that Jennifer had a few wrinkles near her eyes. Elfman was very nice, except for the fact that he kept shouting 'man' for any reason. Mirajane and Lisanna too were very friendly, except that they kept matchmaking.

Once they saw Erza blushing every time Jellal looked at her, they immediately came up with plans to get them together. Jellal was like any other heartthrob, extremely handsome and kept throwing the girls flirty looks, but Lucy knew his heart was at the right place. Erza had mentioned an incident in which he saved a little blue-haired girl from trouble. That blue-haired girl turned out to be Wendy.

Mika Fullbuster had lovely brown hair, and dark blue eyes which looked black at first. She was nothing like her son, who kept stripping for no reason. "This is a habit he's got from his nanny, Ur." She whispered to Lucy, Juvia, Wendy and Erza.

Gray had another weird obsession of eating ice cones every other minute. He had eyes just like his mother.

Wendy was, of course, the total opposite of her brother, is what Lucy thought. She was sweet, adorable, and very kind. She had cute brown eyes, which Lucy found adorable. Though she had a problem of tripping over things a lot, she was mostly good at art, baking, and singing. She had a white cat in her hands, which she called Carla.

Her cousin had come along with them. His name was Gajeel Redfox. Lucy remembered Levy talking about some Gajeel Redfox every time. She couldn't believe her best friend had a crush on this creature.

By this creature, she meant that Gajeel looked nothing like Levy's type. He had piercings everywhere: nose, ears, above the eyes, chin, hands, etc, etc. Lucy could swear that she saw a piece of iron in his mouth, which he seemed to chewing like some gum. He had long, spiky black hair and red eyes. On the top of that, he seemed to laugh like, "Geeheehee!" And to top it all off, he had a really bad habit of fighting every opportunity he got.

But, Natsu was worse. He fought every time for every reason. He had this strange liking to spicy food and Tabasco sauce. And he kept wearing a scarf which he insisted on wearing even though Grandeeney disagreed. Overall, he was nothing like Lucy's dream boy, except he had beautiful eyes. And for some reason, he would keep fighting with Gray. Lucy then remembered that he was the most popular guy in her school. But to her, he seemed like any other delinquent.

After lunch, the girls decided to go explore the beach. Lucy was happy that she didn't have to change into shorts like the others. She went out of the house and sat drinking a glass of juice, waiting for the others.

Then, she had the misfortune of meeting the pink-haired narcissist. "Look whose here. Miss Clumsy Heartfilia." And he walked closer.

Lucy immediately reacted by saying, "It's Lucy!"

He nodded aimlessly, "Yeah whatever, Luigi." "It's L-U-C-Y!"

"Look Blondie, I want you to stay out of my way. Here's a warning: don't mess with me. I consider myself as Fairy Tail's baddest boy. And you, unlike the other girls I know, are not very respectful. Better mind your manners."

Lucy opened her mouth to protest, but she found it covered by his large hand. He was dangerously close.

"No more words from your mouth. Or I'll do something that you will never forget."

Lucy wrenched his hand from her mouth. "Listen you fucking bastard, I don't give a fuck about what you do to me. You may be the baddest boy in my school, but that doesn't mean I'll not straighten you out. This is the word of the Student Council President Lucy Heartifilia."

Natsu smirked and said, "Well, you might be the President there, but not here."

Lucy smirked as well and said, "I can say the same to you. You might be the biggest hot-shot at Fairy Tail, but I swear I'll still straighten you out."

"Challenge accepted, Prez. By the way, I'm really digging that pink thong."

Lucy looked down and saw that her shorts were missing. When she looked up, she saw Natsu smirking and walking with a pair of pink shorts. Her shorts!

"Thanks for the souvenir, Prez!" And he walked away laughing.

Lucy walked back into the house, her face the color of Erza's hair. "I swear I'll get back at you, Natsu Dragneel!"

Erza saw her first when she entered their room. "What happened Lucy?"

Lucy was silent, but inwards she was screaming, "That pink-haired devil!"
