Summary: Lucy calls Zeref and tells him that his favorite ice cream shop is closing and that today was the very last day it was open! Can Zeref get there in time before his favorite ice cream shop closes forever? And are Natsu and his friends planning something? What will happen to them?
"Zeref, we have terrible news." Lucy said over the phone."
"What?" Zeref asked suspiciously.
"That ice cream shop you love so much. You know, Magnolia's ice cream. It's closing!"
"No!" Zeref cried.
"This is the last day it's open! Come on, come on, come on! You have to get over here so we can have some ice cream! Natsu and Mavis are already here! Hurry! It will close in an hour!"
"I'm coming." Zeref said quickly, hung up, grabbed his coat, and ran out the door. He had stupidly let Gray borrow his car today so he could go on a stupid date. Now his favorite ice cream place could close and he wouldn't even get one last ice cream if he didn't run there in time!
Zeref had never run so fast in his entire life, accidentally knocking into several people and handed out lots of apologies which slowed him down! Zeref cut through some alleys, running into two gangs who threatened to kill them. "Out of my way! This is for ice cream!" Zeref shouted and smacked one of the guys knives out of his hand before pushing him aside and continued running. Zeref panted as he ran, running into a nice-looking woman, with her hair all done up. Zeref apologized, "I'm so sorry!" and kept running. Zeref looked around and spotted his brother, his girlfriend, and Lucy just around the corner.
That was when he sprinted with energy he didn't even know he had. "Natsu! Lucy! Mavis!" he shouted, panting he literally threw himself on top of his brother.
"Please tell me I'm not too late!" Zeref REALLY loved ice cream.
Natsu chuckled. "Nah bro, you're not too late. We just needed to find a way to get you out of the house." Zeref blinked in confusion his eyebrows furrowed. "Also, we needed to find a way to make you exercise of your own free will."
"The power of ice cream compels me." Was all Zeref said.
"I know, that's why we told you the ice cream place was closing down, even though it's not."
"It's… not?"
Then, all of Natsu's friends, including Gray who had partly caused him to actually run, popped out from around the sides of the building. "April Fools!" they all shouted.
"Huh?... You guys, lied?" he asked.
"Yeah, kind of." Natsu rubbed his head sheepishly.
"I didn't. I really am going on a date with Juvia. Everyone else just happens to be here too." Gray said.
"So… this is a joke?"
"Uh… yeah?" Natsu said.
Zeref blinked, stared for a few minutes, and then sighed in relief. Thank the Gods." He said. "Well, now that I know my favorite ice cream shop isn't closing down I've got news for you… I'm going to kill you all!"
They all screamed and ran away from him as quickly as they could possibly manage whist Zeref glared at their backs. Zeref sighed and then happily went inside the store to get a scoop of his very favorite ice cream from his very favorite ice cream shop. The ice cream shop that most certainly wasn't closing down any time soon, considering Zeref's very favorite ice cream, happened to be all the flavors of his very favorite ice cream place, so they had good business that day. Oh, and Zeref didn't share a single bite with anyone else, and they were forced to get their own. "April Fools." Zeref said happily.
"April Fools what?" Natsu asked.
"I would've let you have some of mine. Too bad you guys already all bought your own. So, April Fools!"
"… Zeref!" but Zeref wasn't even listening.
