The second day after the so-called 'Natsu Cataclysm', the villagers in Acalypha were all staying in front of a destroyed building. Natsu was standing next to a tiny old man, probably in his eighties.
''Natsu, this is the second major trouble you caused us this week!'', the man grumpy said, cross-armed. ''First, you burn my house AND the ones in my neighborhood, and now you take down the whole village?!''
''And only for a freaking CHICKEN! You're such an idiot!'', a black-haired boy near Natsu's age yelled from his spot in the crowd.
Natsu shot him a glare.
''It was accidental, ice-freak'', Natsu said, holding a growl.
''Gray, you have no place to speak, you destroyed half the village last month!'', the man sighed.
Gray pouted and crossed his arms. Natsu smirked.
''Now, back to your case, Natsu...'', the man turned to Natsu.
''Sorry gramps, it was accidental! But Laxus asked me to get that chicken!'', Natsu said, upset.
In the crowd they're could be heard chuckles at the nickname. The man appeared seemingly annoyed.
''How many times am I supposed to tell you, Natsu! I'm Makarov Dreyar and most certainly not 'gramps' to you!'', he snapped.
''Whatever, gramps...'', Natsu shrugged.
A white-haired, huge man suddenly came running to Natsu.
''Natsu, Gajeel's in trouble! And that's not MAN!'', he said, shaking Natsu.
''C-C-Calm d-down, E-Elfman!'', Natsu tried to say while being brutally shaken.
Elfman stopped shaking him.
''Now tell me what's wrong!'', Natsu said, raising an eyebrow.
''Gajeel's not okay! He got very injured while being a TRUE MAN!''
''Gajeel's hurt? Where is he? Tell me!'', Natsu snapped.
''Back at his mansion in Magnolia.''
''Then let's go, what are we waiting for?'', Natsu said and already started dragging Elfman after him.
Elfman looked wide-eyed at him.
''Wait, you should take somebody with you!'', he said.
Natsu stopped and turned to Elfman, raising an eyebrow at him.
''Why?''
''I'm not coming along, Gajeel told me to return here to see Mira-nii-san's wedding!'', Elfman smiled. ''He's a REAL MAN!''
Natsu put a hand on his chin, thinking.
'Should I choose... no, he's too boring... Maybe... naahh, he's an idiot...'
''Guess I'll just let gramps decide!'', Natsu shrugged.
Makarov looked at him with a twitching eyebrow.
''Guess I have no choice... Go with Gray!''

''WHAT?! I'M NOT GOING WITH THAT JERK!'', the two yelled simultaneously, pointing at each other.
''Who ya' calling a jerk, stripper?!'', Natsu yelled in Gray's face.
''You, who else, idiot?!''
''Wanna fight, ice-freak?!''
''You bet, flame-thrower!''
''SILENCE BRATS! LISTEN CLOSELY, YOU TWO'LL GO TOGETHER IN MAGNOLIA WITHOUT COMPLAINING AND YOU WON'T DESTROY EACH OTHER, UNDERSTOOD?!'', Makarov yelled.
Finally, some silence.
''Okay...'', Natsu and Gray said, pouting.
''Very well, now go get ready for the trip to Magnolia! Make our village proud!'', Makarov said calmly, smiling.
Natsu and Gray retreated to their non-existent places (they were freshly destroyed by Natsu! Oh, goodie! *sarcasm activated*).
After some time, they left Acalypha.
''Bye!'', they waved smiling and left.

''THE VILLAGE-DESTROYERS ARE GONE!'', the villagers jumped in happiness.
''We need to celebrate this properly... AFTER repairing the mess they've left behind...'', Makarov said.
