(Wow I can't believe you actually like this enough to ask me to keep going. This is why I LOVE the Fairy Tail community, you guys are the most supportive fandom that I'm a part of. Nothing like the people reading my My Hero Academia stuff, they don't really give encouragement. But hey you guys are so kind and that's enough for me. Even if I did put way more effort into the other story.)
The barbecue had come and gone and life had gone forward for the Slayer family. Laxus had spent the last weekend of summer avoiding Mirajane. It turned out he was spending his days with his teaching counterpart, Freed.
"Ah Laxus, come in, you've arrived just in time for tea." Freed said turning his gaze from the pot and towards the cupboard with the cups.
"Oh that's good, thanks Freed." Laxus said walking in and sitting down in the front room. He had been at Freed's house many times in the past so he felt fine making himself at home.
"Here Laxus, your tea. I made it the way you like it." Freed said in his calm voice, the slightest shade of pink dusting his cheeks.
"Thanks,". Laxus said taking the cup from Freed. "You ready for your classes tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'm quite ready. I have the high school tomorrow, and you have the middle school, correct?"
"Yeah, sounds right to me." the blond sighed before continuing. "Hey, Freed?"
"Hmm?"
"I need some advice?"
"Advice? I'll do my best Laxus. Mind telling me what about?" Feed said in a worried voice.
"Mira and I have been going through a rough patch. I just don't know what to do." the taller man admitted.
"Laxus, you know I would do anything in my power to help you, but advise on girls? That's not really something I'm too knowledgeable about."
"I know, but Freed just because you're gay doesn't mean you can't help me. You may not know girls, but you're really good friends with Mira. You have to know something!" Laxus pleaded.
"Right, I suppose I could be of some assistance. Just take a sip of tea and relax, let me think."

At the same time Cobra was spending time alone.
"Thank the gods no one is home today. I can take a good nap." Cobra said to himself as he laid down of the couch to rest.
Suddenly he heard a blood curdling scream.
"Cubellios!" he yelled as his eyes shot open. He sprung off the couch, and ran full speed towards the door, grabbing his white coat from the had rack on his way out.
He sprinted down the streets, chasing the screams and whimpers of his old friend. Soon found himself in a dark ally, there he saw a girl scared to death on a corner with two thugs practically breathing down her neck.
"Hey Dipsh*ts, step away from the lady." Cobra said the light at the end of the ally shining from behind him.
The girls previously dull teary eyes shone with new life when she heard his voice. The two men turned to face Cobra.
"Hey, why don't you mind your own damn business, pretty boy." (For the record I think Cobra is gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as Midnight.)
Cobra made quick work of the thugs, by the end they were both running for their mommies. He faced the still frightened girl and slowly started to approach her. She was looking into his eye with her own teary orbs. Suddenly her legs gave out from underneath her and she started to fall to the ground. He started sprinting towards her catching her in his arms.
She looked at him as her eyes slowly closed "Erik"she whispered as she drifted into unconsciousness.
"No, no, no, Cubellios, Cu-Kinana, Kinana it's okay, I- I got you." Cobra said through clenched teeth, genitally petting her hair.

Now we travel to Saber Tooth Academy, to check in on what it's Headmaster had planned on this day.
"Yukino, Babe, over here." Sting called out with a brilliant smile on his face.
"STING" Yukino yelled as she ran and jumped into his arms. She hugged him around the neck and hooked his arms around her thighs to hold her up.
"Sting, I didn't think you would keep me up here so long, put me down this is embarrassing." Yukino wined.
"Ok, ok, don't look at me like that!" Sting said putting her down. "I'm glad you could meet me today. I feel like I haven't seen you in forever, I've been spending time at the house with my family, and then when I got back in town I had to go straight to work." Sting said in an apologetic voice.
"Don't worry about it Sting, we saw each other at the staff meeting a few days ago." She said with a positive and genital smile.
"You know that doesn't count! I'm your boss when we're at work. We have to be professional." the blond boy said with a frown.
"I suppose it is nice to spend time with my boyfriend, when we aren't in a place you can fire me." Yukino said with a giggle.
"Like I would fire the best Head Secretary in the world." said Sting putting his hands on her hips.
"Don't let Mira hear you say that" she said in a joking manor.
Sting turned pale, and a shiver ran down his spine at the thought that the She Devil might have some way to hear him.
"Oh Sting, you're acting silly, you know Mira's a sweetheart."
"YEAH TO YOU! SHE LOVES YOU!" Sting cried and shivered a little. "One time Erza wasn't at school, and I thought that it would be a good time to pick a fight with Natsu. I was beating his tiny smug a** by the swings when Mira showed up out of no where... I honestly thought she was going to kill me."
Yukino just smiled at her boyfriend, not completely sure what to do. "So, lunch?" she asked grabbing his hand.
"Oh yeah. Lets go."

Rouge decided not to spend his last day having fun, but instead was helping the other VHs Finnish setting up the school.
Rouge sat in his office looking at the papers on his desk and the meeting schedules on his computer lacrima. He was so concentrated on his work that he didn't even notice that someone had opened the door until they were standing right in front of his desk.
"Vice Headmaster Rouge," said a woman's voice. "sorry to bother you, but I need to ask you something."
"Ah, Vice Headmistress Minerva, what can I do for you?" Rouge said never looking up from papers.
"I was wondering if the Headmaster will be joining us today?" Minerva asked calmly.
"Please, you know my brother. He's a god Headmaster but sill childish. He's out with his girlfriend." he sad in a monotone voice.
Minerva sighed "That sounds about right." she popped out her hip and rested her hand on it. "He was supposed to have a meeting with Vice Headmistress Kagura, of Mermaid Heel's School for Gifted Mages. Would you like to handle her yourself, or should I?"
Rouge thought it over for a moment before looking up into his colleges eyes and answering. "I just finished this paperwork, but if your not busy, I think having both of us here would be the best move."
Once Kaugra arrived the 3 held their meeting. Rouge noticed that the two women didn't seem to get along. He knew they has a shaky past, but for some reason it seemed like their conflict somehow involved him. Rouge tried to shake the feeling, but as the afternoon went on the feeling only grew. Unfortunately he had no idea why their passive bickering revolved around him. He was just happy that, despite the ladies negative emotions towards one another, the meeting has gone smoothly and they had gotten Mermaid Heel on bored with participating in the Inter School Sports Festival later that school year.

Meanwhile Gajeel was going to meat up with Levy.
Gajeel walked down the streets of Magnolia until he reached the park. He spotted Levy siting on a picnic blanket under one of the cherry blossom trees, which currently wasn't in bloom. Even without the rainbow petals the scene was perfect, Levy was perfect. Gajeel cleared his thought as he sauntered up to her.
"Gajeel!" Levy said in greeting, smiling brightly when she saw him.
Gajeel's averted his red eyes, trying not to show his emotions.
Then he gave in and sat down next to her and gave a cocky smile. "You look nice, Small-fry."
"You don't look terrible yourself." Levy said a little shyly. Then she grabbed the picnic basket she had brought and started to unpack it. "What's Lilly up too? I hope you didn't have do ditch him for me."
"Nah, he's out with Salamander, and the Kid's cats. I think the're meeting the Twin's cats at the Exceed city in the woods."
"Aww Exceed day out! I hope that they are all having fun." She said smiling. "But they wont have more fun than us on our date."
Gajeel's head perked up, he looked her dead in the eyes. "What"
Then Levy too realized what she had just said, her face turned bright red and she started rambling and flailing her arms around. "UUUUHHHHHH! I'M SORRY. I JUST ASSUMED! I MEAN! This is so embarrassing"
Gajeel didn't think, he just acted, his body moved on its own. He crashed his lips into hers, she jumped a little before completely melting into the kiss. He slowly backed away and looked into her shining brown eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think. I should have asked." He said a breathless and a little ashamed at himself.
"Oh shut up and kiss me you bid idiot." Levy said and she rapped her arms around hid neck and kissed him passionately.

And now lets go see what Natsu was doing on his last day of summer.
Natsu had already been hanging out with Lucy for a while they had spent all the day before with Gray and Erza, who had both gone home some hours ago after all spending the night at Lucy's. Natsu and Lucy were now walking down the streets of Magnolia. They got food at a stall and talked for hours. Lucy had to get Natsu and herself drinks because the fire dragon was broke. They drank their drinks sitting on the fountain.
"I've had a lot of fun Natsu." Lucy said with a shy smile
"Me too Luppie." The pink haired weirdo said
"That's not my name, idiot!" Lucy yelled pissed
Natsu gave his classic Slayer smile and how cute Lucy was mad, not that he would ever tell her that.
"Lucy, has anyone told you that you look like a flying fish when you're angry?" Natsu said mimicking the face that Happy always makes when teasing Lucy.
"I DO NOT" Lucy said angrily, she tried to push him into the fountain, but he grabbed on bringing her in with him.
The water was shallow and most of his body was out of the water. Lucy was on top of him, her arms in the water on either side of his head. Their faces were rather close and Natsu couldn't help but think how beautiful Lucy looked with her hair covered water droplets,, her brown eyes seemed extra shiny and Natsu found himself getting lost in them. He had to tell her just how beautiful she was.
"Lucy you're..." then he realized what he was doing, he couldn't ruin their perfect friendship. He turned his face to the side and acting like he was dying "really heavy."
Lucy looked like her brain broke, then she started yelling and splashing water on him.

Meanwhile, Wendy was enjoying a peaceful day out by the river.
"AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh" a voice yelled from behind Wendy, she turned around to see Romeo rolling down the the hill. She squealed and jumped out of the way. The boy tumbled into the river. He sprung up gasping for air.
"Oh hi Wendy," he said smiling and scratching the back of his head.
"Romeo! Are you okay!" Wendy yelled.
"Yeah just a few scratches." He responded.
"Come out of the water so I can heal you!"
"Comming" he said as he limped out of the water.
Wendy ran up to him and helped him to sit down under a tree. "Looks like your ankle is sprained." Wendy said while starting to heal him.
"Thanks, you don't have to do this"
"Its no problem, really. Why you were rolling down the hill?"
"Oh I pulled a prank on my dad's best friend. He was so angry and I started running laughing. Then I tripped and started rolling down the..." Suddenly Wendy passed out.
"WENDY!" he noticed that she had healed every cut on him and his ankle was fully healed, he picked her up off the ground and put her up against he tree, basically switching places with her. "You used too much magic energy" he said while brushing her hair out of her face and blushing a little.
