"Gray, what the hell are you doing?" Lucy asked as she watched the boy skip around while they waited for their boss.
"I'm skipping, Lucy," Gray answered all diva-like. "What, you don't know how to skip?"
"Shut u-"
"Lucy Heartfilia? Gray Fullbuster?" Lucy was cut off by a man in tight white shorts, a neon pink shirt and a yellow scarf wrapped around his neck. "I'm your new manager, Keith."
Keith glanced at the two and grinned. "Ah, it's always nice to have such young recruits! Come now, children~!"
"I like how he dresses," Gray commented, happily following behind Keith.
"Idiot, your clothes are gone." Lucy said bluntly.
"Wait, what?"
~X~
Natsu's head shot up as he woke up to a loud ringing. He turned his head left and right, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Finally awake, I see," Erza walked over to the dragon slayer who was currently tied to a tree.
"What the hell, Erza?" Natsu asked, struggling with the rope. "Why am I up here?"
"Because you called me an evil witch."
"Actually, it was demon-which is completely different." This earned Natsu a slap.
"Ow that hurt, you bitch! Come here and let's fight right here, right now!" Natsu put the rope on fire and fell down with a thud.
"Shut up, pinky." A stern voice that didn't belong to Erza said. Natsu looked up to find a sneering buff man.
"Who the hell are you?" Natsu asked nonchalantly. He got up but was pushed down by Erza's boot, face contacting with the grass once again.
"Natsu, show some respect," Erza said-well, commanded. "This person right here is the head of the fire department."
"And I give a damn because…?"
"Because if you don't, you get no job." The man hauled Natsu up with a swift movement. He started walking away, Erza following closely behind.
"Wait for me!"
~X~
"Woah…," Gray and Lucy stared in amazement at the huge room filled with all types of clothing. Hangers hung from the ceiling and bundles of clothes were everywhere. The walls didn't seem like walls at all, but curtains hanging loosely to cover something.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Keith hopped on top of a wooden chair to reach for a small yellow lever. "This is even better,"
The curtains started rolling upwards as Keith pulled the lever, revealing more clothing neatly piled into cabinets and drawers.
"Question," Lucy said, scanning the whole room. "If you have all these clothes, why the heck are you wearing tha-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Gray slapped a hand over her mouth. "Wha- Lucy! He looks absolutely fabulous!"
"Oh, it's alright, Gray," Keith chuckled. "Some people just don't appreciate my wonderful taste in fashion."
"Tch." Lucy rolled her eyes and shoved Gray away.
Before long, the trio started working. Lucy groaned every time Gray would start singing in what he calls "the perfect pitch and tone that should've been used for this song instead (which was just a series of shouts and what seemed to be whale-talk)."
Keith had left them alone to grab more clothing (where he gets them from, they'll never know) and Lucy was having a hard time restraining her growing desire to strangle Gray.
"For Mavis's sake, shut up already!" Lucy screamed from across the room. Gray stopped singing, turned and posed.
"That's really mean, Lucy!" He replied. He flipping his hair and returned to what he was doing: Checking himself out in the mirror while singing an off-key version of "I Have Nothing."
"Lucy, look, look!" Gray called. Lucy turned to find the boy right behind her, actually wearing clothes. Except, he was wearing a golden crown, a white tank top and a frilly pink tutu with nothing below that.
"Holy mother of Mavis, Gray what the hell?!" Lucy shrieked covering her eyes. "What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking of putting this on my latest clothes line." Gray answered nonchalantly. "What, you don't like it?"
"Yes, I don't freaking like it!" Lucy grabbed the nearest thing she could (which was, unfortunately for Gray, a wooden chair) and threw it at him.
"Calm down!" This time, it was Gray's turn to shriek. He barely dodged the piece of furniture before Lucy threw many others (including a table, another chair, and pink underwear that smacked Gray right in the face).
"You disgust me…," Lucy shook her head at the unconscious Gray and walked out the gigantic room all the while cursing the heavens for having to deal with the Ice-Make mage.

"I didn't know you guys did pole-dancing here." Natsu said as he stared at the pole leading up to the second floor of the fire department.
"Only on Fridays, son," answered another man who had joined them just a while ago. The head of the department (who was apparently named Jung) stood at the background, a sneer still evident on his face. "We usually use it when there's an emergency."
"Any other questions?"
"Who names their son 'Jung?'" Natsu blurted out, raising an eyebrow at Jung who glared at him.
"Oh, that was a mistake. He was supposed to be named 'Jun' but while his mother was writing it down, Jung here screeched and startled his mother and accidentally wrote what seemed to be a G." The man explained. Jung huffed at the memory while Natsu struggled to contain his laughter.
"So, shall we start working?" Erza suggested. The man and Jung nodded and was about to head into a room when the alarm started blaring.
"You kids wanna come?" The man asked as he gathered his supplies in a hurry. Jung was about to protest but was cut off when the alarm blared even louder.
"Why not?" Erza and Natsu hopped in the fire truck, along with Jung and the man.
They arrived at a burning house moments later. Smoke was everywhere and it was hard to breath. People gathered around the burning house, some throwing a pail of water.
"Help us with the…," Before Jung could say his command, Erza and Natsu were already headed towards the house. Natsu's eyes were gleaming at the thought of getting to eat.
"Don't go there…," Again, Jung wasn't able to finish his sentence, startled by the sight of Natsu inhaling all the flames and burped once he was done. He rubbed his belly and hummed in satisfaction as he walked back to the fire truck.
"What the hell was that?" Jung and the other man looked at each other. The people who were gathered around the house were all looking at Natsu in astonishment. They've never seen something like this before.
Before Jung and the man could fire (ha ha, get it?) any questions at Natsu and Erza, Erza just smiled and bluntly said, "He eats fire."
Later that day, two unconscious men were brought to the hospital after fainting from something a pink haired idiot and a red headed demon called "nothing out of the ordinary."
