At the guild in the early afternoon...
It was an ordinary day at the guild. Natsu and Gray were acting unusually friendly with Gajeel.
"Guess the heat got to them, don't you think, Mira?" Erza asks the bar maid who stood behind the counter looking around the room.
" Maybe, or maybe they are tired of fighting for now and called a truce?" her optimistic tone gave Erza an idea.
"Thanks for the meal, Mira. I have to get going. There is a new set of armor at the store that have been dying to try on." She gave the silver-haired young maiden her gratitude.
The red-haired woman left the bar and walked out of the guild hall.
"So, Gajeel, Gray. What do you say, we all get together and go to the beach for the day you can both stay at my place and we can use the waterfall and the lake that is a few feet from my house to swim in if you're not up to the beach?" Natsu says with a smile.
"I don't see how that would be so wrong." The slim guy in his swim trunks says thinking the offer thoroughly.
"Okay, sounds like this will be interesting. Count me in." The punk looking young man answers to the smiling pink haired guy.
"Alright then. I'm all fired up." he shouts fist pumping.
"So when is this taking place?" Gajeel asks putting his punk like black hair into a pony tail.
"How about tomorrow? none of us are going out on any missions or "missions" am I right?" Gray pins his hair back away from his face.
"Yeah, completely free. Lucy says she's going to do some shopping and getting some things for her apartment." Natsu says.
"Levy wants to go to buy some books in town, so I'm free." Gajeel mutters under his breath.
"Juvia said the same thing. She said she was going to go out with the girls though. They are all going to the Magnolia Summer market afterwards." Gray fills in the guys.
"So it's settle. We are headed to the beach and later my house. I'm going out to do some shopping of my own and no need to worry about clothing guys. I have plenty of board shorts and t-shirts. We are all about the exact same size t-shirts right?" Natsu doubts a bit.
"I'm a medium." Gray says aloud.
"Large" Gajeel chimes in.
"So yeah we are good. I have both sizes and no worries I got extra sandals." Natsu finishes. "Well, I'm off. See you Gajeel. SEE YOU ICE PRICK!" Natsu shouts the last few words loudly as he dashes out of the guild hall, bursting through the front doors with Happy.
While Natsu is out around the town looking for a good Market the girls have decided to go to the pool at Fairy Hills a little while and treat themselves to a nice mini-vacation. Lucy and Levy sit on the chairs under the water which is also bar side. The bar that is stationed in the middle of the pool for everyone's enjoyment.
"So girls, how do we plan out our days for the week?" Levy asked as she wrote down the schedule for the net few days.
"Well, I need to get some things for the apartment." Lucy says.
"I need to search for a new bathing suit and do some food shopping." Juvia adds on to the list of things.
"And I need some new books plus I also volunteered to read to the orphans at the church around the town square." Levy finishes off. She keeps scribbling notes on her sheet of paper that she ripped out of her note-book.
"So this is what we can do: tomorrow we can go to the market and accompany Juvia grocery shopping and then we can all look for new bathing suits and maybe even some lingerie to keep things interesting. The day after that we could go to this store I know that sells amazing furniture and it's very durable. While the Last day we could look for the books I need and then afterwards come back to the pool for a late night swim. Then the day after that is when I go to the church and read to the kids." Levy planned out the whole stay.
"Well, you have a point in putting together the schedule the way you did specially since food is really important and so is lingerie along with bathing suits since it is just the beginning of the summer and we have to keep things interesting with the guys and for ourselves too." Lucy thinks over the layout.
"Juvia- I mean I think it's a marvelous idea and we could have Lucy stay here at Fairy Hills with us for those days. There are" Juvia counts her fingers the days that they will be spending together. "That is 4 days total."
"Lets make sure Erza is okay with this and maybe if she wants to join in on the nightly activities like any slumber party, maybe she has some ideas of games." Lucy's optimistic tone set the mood for the rest of the afternoon.
Mean while Natsu was at the market. He had a few bags in his hands full of groceries. The poor dragon slayer had just spent half of the money he had in his wallet for the sleepover. Not to mention he had no help from Happy to lug these home. As the evening rose Natsu was opening the door to his house.
"SHOOT ME NOW!" he said as he finished putting away the food into the fridge and the pantry. He suddenly remembered that he was suppose to go to Lucy's house, she wanted to see a movie.
This is where our story will stop for now...
How will Lucy react if Natsu doesn't make it on time?
What will Natsu do against Lucy?
Will they fight? Who would win?
When will I stop asking questions?
