A/U: I don't own Fairy Tail, and the inspiration for this idea was Beautifulpurpleflame's Beach House. (Strictly based on it the first few chapters though)
Oh
My
God
SPOILERS!
So… I was planning to see if I could post this when I was by chapter ten, but then I read the last chapter of the manga and… holy shit! Zeref was all like: "I. Am. Your. Brother!" And Natsu… and Zeref… and Natsu! Oh! The feels for anyone who saw chapter 465!
Hope you like!

The sun blazed from above, and Lucy was grateful Erza had bought them some smoothies. Actually, she was sure that if she hadn't asked for one she would be a melting puddle like Juvia or Levy, who were probably dying on the back of the truck. No one told them they had to come with their swimsuits on, apparently.
"Are...we almost… there" Levy panted as she took on of the bottles Juvia handed her, before dumping it on her.
"Do not stain my car!" The redhead beside her growled, and Lucy was kind of emphatic with her. Erza had been driving for two days, after deciding Levy, Juvia and Lucy were 'fair maidens who should enjoy their trips towards relaxation', which was probably a bad idea.
"Juvia hopes we arrive soon" Said Juvia excitedly "Erza-san is tired and Juvia is sure she is need need of a ree… umm, relaxing session of sleep" Juvia corrected her words at Erza's glare, and the redhead sighed.
"Thanks Juvia. I really appreciate the feeling. We should be arriving any time soon"
However, unlike the two bluenettes, Lucy and Erza had been driving all the while with their bikinis on, and while Erza's a a ruby one with a golden ring in the middle of her breasts, Lucy had settled for a (slightly) more revealing, pink one with some ruffles on the upper part. She sincerely thanked Erza for remembering and helping her unpack to find one of her swimsuits three days before.
"Lu-chan, is the house pretty?"
"For the last time, Levy! I haven't seen it, but in the photo it's pretty cool"
"Will there be a sea?"
"Yes"
"And… and sand?!"
"Yes"
"And… uh… clams?"
"Yes!"
"What about…?!"
" Juvia- sorry Erza, I promise to wash your car when we arrive and get you some cake- please dump another to Levy, she is starting to get delirious"
"Yes Lucy-san" Juvia did as requested, and Levy ended KO in a small puddle of water in the back.
"Thanks Juvia- I'm holding you to that, Lucy" Erza glared at Lucy for less than a second, but since the promise of cake was present she quickly smiled at the blonde. "Lucy, can you tell how far we are from town?"
"About… a mile."
The four girls had recently graduated from Fairy Hills University, an all-girls school back on Magnolia, and decided to rent a beach house on Akane, a beautiful place to go on summer. Juvia had majored in economics, and she already had a place on Fiore's national swim team. Levy and Lucy graduated with degrees in English, and while Lucy had choosed her second degree as Astronomy, Levy had gotten her History bachelor's degree. Erza had gone for chemistry and physics, and now she was still on her kickboxing teaching classes.
"...Lu-chan~"
"God, Juvia, DO IT AGAIN!"
XxXxX
About some shorter distance from the beach house was a blue car, a little bigger than the girls', traveling towards the same destiny. However, this one had five occupants and three surf boards tied to the roof. Unlike other people, they were all dressed in trunks, each of them proudly showing off their washboard chests, glistening with sweat because one of the passengers (cough Natsu cough) decided it would be good idea to drink a soda that had been inside the car for God-knows-how-long in front of the air conditioning system, which exploded at the sudden contact with the liquid.
Gray was driving, Loke was in the passenger's seat, Natsu, Gajeel and Jellal cramped on the back. To say the truth, if any girl saw the three right now they would probably get a serious nosebleed. (Well, Gajeel and Natsu were barely managing to keep their faces from greening , since their cousin had given them some kind of test-pill called troia, but the effects weren't infinite, no matter how much they wished).
"How much longer…?" Natsu whined.
"Natsu, I swear to Mavis that if you ask again I'm going to kill you!" Loke threatened from the front while he drank hi (non-shaken) soda.
"But I only asked like, four times!"
"In the last hour! Now shut yer trap!" Gajeel, the black haired man next to him growled, and Natsu did the same.
"Uh, what did ya say, metal head? Wanna fight!?"
"Natsu, you do that and I'll tell Mira" After the few words left Jellal's mouth everyone shut up.
The five of the five of them were on their way towards the summer house they had rented for the next three months. Gajeel had finished his apprenticeship in blacksmithing, and even if he hated transportation he was planning to open his own car shop on winter. Gray had graduated from Crocus U. on arts and language, and he already had a scholarship on one fancy sculpturing school. Loke, also in C.U. had graduated with a major on astronomy and another on physics. Natsu had only managed to graduate from school for all the volunteering activities he signed up for; he already had a permanent job on the animal shelter and one on the fireworks' shows. Jellal, the only sane of the group, had gotten a degree on astronomy, chemistry, history and language. He was currently looking for a job.
…
…
"Are we there yet?"
"THAT'S IT!"
And that's the story of how Gray's car went from being a car to a battle zone.
XxXxX
"Thank Mavis" Erza sighed "I think I see the house"
The redhead was gripping tightly the steering wheel, white knuckled showing and jaw tight. Lucy had resorted to get some sleep against the car's window while Levy and Juvia did the same on the back of the car, heads rested against the other's.
To be honest, Erza was pretty sure she was going to sleep off the next day (and this one), and probably wake up until their vacation was over. So, when she noticed a spot of red not too far away she double checked the address, compared the house with the one on the photos and finally screamed in happiness and exhaustion, waking up the girls.
"WE HAVE ARRIVED!"
Needless to say, Lucy, Levy and Juvia would be deaf for a long while.
However, as Erza slowed down the car and drove it towards the parking lot, another car appeared, doing the same but coming from the opposite side of the driveway. They both parked in front of the house.
Confused, Erza stepped out of the car, slipping on a shirt and a pair of shorts, and walked towards the other car.
"Hey Ice Princess, did ya hire maids or somethin'?"
"No"
"Then why are this chicks on our house?"
"It's the right place right?" Gajeel asked and Loke snatched the map from Gray's lap.
"Yeah, 617 Buttercup road, Akane Beach" Loke smirked "Maybe they came here for us?"
Before any of the boys could answer, one of the girls tapped Gray's window, and he opened the door, the other boys doing the same. Soon, every group had piled out of the cars, and stared at each other, trying to figure out what was going on.
Erza was beautifully terrifying. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she was fuming at the only obstacle between her and the bed (her temporal love). Lucy, still in her swimsuit, looked more like beautifully astounding. Her breast were glistening on the sun, her blonde hair tied in a neat bun on the back of her head. Apparently after noticing that she looked kind-of naked, Lucy ran back to the car a fetched a shirt from it, finding it under Levy's seat.
Levy looked like… a wet cute puppy. Juvia had dumped half of their water bottles on her, and she was looking rather sleepy. Her orange dress was a darker shade and her blue bangs fell on her face, covering her coffee eyes.
Juvia was probably the only normal looking one of the bunch. Her light blue, summer dress covered her till her knees and she had her hair in long, soft waves.
Natsu had his pink hair in soft looking spikes (is that even possible?) with his red trunks on, orange flames proudly sticking on them and a white scarf hanging from his neck. Gajeel was just like Natsu, without the scarf, but with black trunks, dull to the sigh. Then Gray was just wearing some blue shorts like Jellal, and Loke decided it was time to show off his green trunks, recently bought. The only thing that stopped the girls from getting inside their house without saying hello was the small (no matter how Levy said it latter) fact that they were also covered in sweat.
Half naked.
Well…
"Are you lost?" Levy's small voice popped and Gray frowned.
"No, are you?"
"Huh?" The girls all dedicated confused stares at him.
"We rented this place for the summer, right Loke?"
The orange haired man sighed. "Yeah, already checked"
"Juvia thinks there's a mistake. We rented this house for the summer"
Natsu frowned. "Who is Juvia?"
"Juvia is Juvia, of course!"
"Well okay, but who is J…"
"That's wrong. We rented the house!"
Levy sighed "I'll go get the paperwork" Jellal walked back to the car, catching Levy's intentions.
Both bluenettes went back the car to get the papers, and as soon as they got out their friends crowded them to see who was in the wrong.
"I hate to tell you this" Levy sighed and Jellal did the same "But you rented it for next summer"
"What? No, we didn't!" said Loke
"Oh, you did, see?" Lucy said, taking the paperwork from Levy's hands and shoving it into Loke's. "There, next summer"
Loke was about to protest, but looked over the papers and realized that the date was correct, but the year… it was for next summer. "Oh, crap"
"Loke, how did you screw this up?" Gray said as he hid his face behind his hand.
"Probably… when I said next summer they must've thought I meant the summer after this one" The boys all sighed, and Loke folded up the paper, trying to not look too angry before some cute girls.
"Well, Juvia is sorry about the mix up." Juvia said as she walked back to the car and opened the trunk, pulling out her suitcase.
"Sorry? We are homeless for the summer! We are sorry!" Loke said.
"Well, it's yer fault for messin' up!" Gajeel sat back on the car, hiding from the sun.
"And my apartment is going to be ready until august" Jellal mumbled from behind Gray.
"We will sort it out guys" The girls looked at each other until Lucy spoke.
"Well, maybe you can stay here then while you do that? I think the house is big enough for the nine of us…" Her voice drifted off as she looked around suddenly nervous, cheeks flushed (not that it had anything to do with the fact that she had five hot boys in front of her and or that Cana had slipped some of her booze in their water, nope!).
"Sure!" The pink haired boy said as he stepped in front of the rest.
"Name's Natsu"
"Lucy"
"Gray"
"Juvia!"
"Erza"
"Levy"
"...Gajeel"
"Jellal"
"And you can call me Loke, ladies"
Oh, this was going to be an interesting summer.
