Wow, double update! Since comedy is my favorite genre, I guess this isn't so surprising for this story... Oh, and J=Jewels!

Well, enjoy the fourth chapter!

Natsu and Gray just found out they're not in Magnolia and they probably exchanged plane tickets with somebody, so they ended up in a foreign (to them) city called Hargeon. And they also have to wait five hours for another plane to fly to Magnolia.

''So... what are we doing now?'', Natsu asked after they bought new plane tickets to Magnolia (this time Gray was holding the tickets).

''I dunno... Let's check out this city'', Gray suggested.

''Okay... Oh! FOOD!'', Natsu said, drooling at a fast-food stand.

''ICE CREAM!'', Gray cheered, staring at an ice-cream stand.

Natsu's stomach growled. Gray pulled out 1000 J out of his pocket. They both glared hungrily at them.

''...We should take 500 J each, don't ya' think?'', Natsu said.

''Deal!''

Natsu grabbed his money and ran to the fast-food stand. Gray stormed to the ice-cream place.

~ one hour later - Natsu ~

Natsu walked around the city, patting his tummy contently.

'That was a feast', he thought. 'I remained with 20 J, though... Gray will kill me for sure.'

''Give me my purse back! Thief!'', he heard a girly voice yell.

He turned around and saw a blonde girl chasing a man - probably the thief - who was holding a fancy pink purse, probably belonging to the girl. Natsu decided to help the girl.

''Oi, give her the purse!'', Natsu raised his voice calmly at the man.

''Says who?'', the man snickered, not realizing he was talking to Natsu.

''Says me!'', Natsu yelled and punched the man.

The thief fell on the ground with a big thump. Natsu smirked victoriously and crossed his arms.

''Thank you'', the girl smiled as she carefully took her purse back.

The man tried to take the purse back, but... it seems the girl was mad. Really mad. So she started hitting the man with her purse, which was actually very heavy.

''Save me!'', the thief screamed, putting his hands over his head defensively.

''Why you heartless *punch*, cruel thief!'', she yelled. ''Stealing from a defenseless young girl!'' *super punch* *critical kick* *epic hit*

Natsu sweat-dropped. 'She's defenseless...? Since when?'

''Have mercy!'', the man begged.

''Umm... I think he had enough...'', Natsu said.

The girl ignored him and kept swearing while giving critical hits and kicks. Natsu decided the poor human-being had enough and caught the blonde's hands, holding her from hitting the man.

''Let me at him!'', she yelled, struggling into his arms. ''Let me go so I can beat the heartless bastard!''

''I think he had more than enough for a life time'', Natsu rolled his eyes.

The thief saw his chance of surviving and ran away from the two. Natsu soon let her go, receiving a few epic kicks himself.

''You should've let me at him! I would've showed him to not pick on defenseless girls!'', the girl yelled, hitting him with the purse.

''I think you showed him enough already, miss whatever-your-name-is-'cause-you-never-told-me'', Natsu said while trying to defend himself from the epic hits she tried to give him.

The girl blinked a few times before radically changing her mood.

''Oh, right. I'm Lucy, nice to meet you!'', she smiled and extended her hand, brimming with innocence.

Natsu stared at her sudden mood change before shaking hands with her.

''I'm Natsu!''

''Well, Natsu, you seem like a nice guy to me'', she said. ''From where are you exactly?''

''Acalypha village. I was heading to Magnolia but... well, somehow me and my buddy changed the tickets with another dude's tickets and got stuck here for five hours...'', he said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

''Wow, I'm heading to Magnolia too! I'll go there tomorrow with somebody!'', she brightened. ''So, what are you doing until your plane departs?

''Well, I was with my buddy, Gray... We shared the money we had... The ice-obsessed idiot stormed to an ice-cream stand while I ran to a fast-food stand... And, somehow, I spend all my money on food and remained with only 20 J...''

Lucy nodded and shrugged.

''Well... seems legit. Anyways, I was going to a library, do you want to come too?''

''Sure, I don't think ice-brain will need me any time sooner...'', Natsu shrugged.

~ meanwhile - Gray ~

'Geez, that was the best ice-cream I had in some time', Gray smirked to himself contently. 'And I have 200 J left too, since I only bought a snack while that flame-thrower probably bought a full meal that's too spicy for anyone excepting him to eat!''

A blue-haired girl then suddenly crashed into Gray, making them both fall on the ground.

''Ouch...'', Gray groaned under her.

''S-Sorry!'', she squeaked and jumped from him. ''Juvia is so sorry!''

Gray got up and rubbed the back of his neck.

''Yeah, yeah...'', he responded to her apologies, then turned away to look for the spice-lover who would probably get into trouble at any given moment.

''Wait! Juvia needs to apologize properly!'', the girl said confidently and grabbed his hand.

''Who's Juvia?'', he raised an eyebrow.

''Juvia crashed into the handsome man, she needs to apologize and repay him!'', she said again, walking with him to who-knows-where.

''H-Handsome?''

''Juvia will apologize by offering the now half-naked man a meal at the best restaurant in Hargeon!'', Juvia said. ''Juvia also wants to know what the man's name is'', she continued, giving him back his own T-shirt.

''Umm... I'm... Gray'', he said while putting his shirt on.

Juvia smiled and put a hand on her hip, slightly blushing.

''Gray-sama will eat at this restaurant as a way of accepting Juvia's apologies!''

''Sorry, Juvia, but I don't think I could...''

Suddenly, Juvia's eyes seemed watery.

''Is Juvia such a bad person?'', she whimpered. ''Why won't Gray-sama accept her apologies to him?!''

''O-Okay, I'll eat here, just don't cry, PLEASE!'', Gray said panicked. He didn't know how to handle crying people, and this was no exception.

''Yayy!'', Juvia cheered and lead Gray to a table in the restaurant.

~ three hours later ~

''That library was awesome, Luce'', Natsu smiled cheeky at Lucy.

''I'm glad you liked it!'', she cheered. ''I want to become a writer one day, and I want to improve my novels to do so!''

''You wrote novels?''

''Yep!''

''Can I read them?''

''Definitely not.''

Natsu pouted and mumbled something about her being heartless and cruel and a big meanie to an innocent child like him.

Suddenly, a wild Gray appeared out of nowhere.

''Natsu! Thank heavens I found ya'! We need to leave, the plane is departing in an hour!'', Gray said.

''Oh, okay. Bye Luce!'', Natsu grinned.

''Bye Natsu!'', she waved at him. ''I'll hope I'll see you again!''

Natsu's grin widened as he waved at her until she disappeared in the nearest book store.

Gray looked at Natsu with a teasing wish.

''Ooooh, is that your girlfrieeeend, flame-thrower?''

''W-What? No!'', Natsu stuttered and looked away with a red-face.

''Suuure, and I hate ice-cream'', Gray smirked and rolled his eyes.

''...You do?''

Gray sighed.

''Let's catch that plane already!''

Natsu nodded and they both started running to the nearest bus station to catch a bus to get at the airport.

''By the way, how much money do you have left?'', Gray asked Natsu.

''20 J.''

''WHAT?!''
