Lucy noticed a basket in the backseat. She peeked in.

Snacks?...

How thoughtful.

She saw Natsu poke his head out the window.

"Is everyone ready in the back there?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Everyone shouted.

Natsu started the truck. "Yosh."

He turned to Lucy. "Hey, why are you all the way in the back. There's space here in the front." He smiled patting the passenger seat.

Lucy blushed. "W-What? Are you sure?"

He nodded.

Lucy went to open the door but he stopped her.

"You can just climb over the seat. Less work."

Lucy sighed. He could be really mean sometimes...

Lucy put her upperbody over the seat and rolled into the front seat.

Natsu chuckled and started to pull out of their driveway.

Lucy hmphed and looked out the window.

She blushed as Natsu started to hum.

The silence was killing her.

She turned to him. "Uh, Natsu."

"Hm?" He said keeping his eyes on the road.

"Aren't you motionsick?"

"Yes I am. I have a patch on." He said as she looked at his arm.

"Oh..."

Silence...

"Natsu?"

"Mm?"

"Did you pack those snacks in the backseat?"

"Those are the guys' snacks."

"Ohh."

Lucy frowned. This conversation was going nowhere.

Lucy heard something.

She touched Natsu's hand. "Did you hear that?!"

Natsu looked quizzically at her. "Hear what?"

Lucy and Natsu lkstened closely.

Lucy went closer to the radio. She made a noise of happiness and turned the radio up.

"Holy cow, this is my jam." She smiled as danced a bit in her seat.

Natsu laughed. "You weirdo..."

Lucy hmped. "You know I like this song though."

He smiled. "That's why it's funny."

She tsked and playfully hit his chest.

She went back into music land, happy that the silence was now,...comfortable.

She looked out the window.

'You are a now entering Magnolia Beach.'

Lucy gasped as she nudged Natsu.

"We're here!" She smiled.

Natsu smiled as he parked the truck. "We are here."

He opened his door.

The boys jumped out of the truck, running onto the sandy shore.

The girls sighed. "Boys.."

Natsu walked around the other side of the truck and opened the door for Lucy.

She blushed. "You didn't have to.."

Natsu flicked her forehead. "I'm doing it because I wanted to."

He held his hand out as she grabbed it and jumped down from the truck.

They looked at each other.

Lucy snapped out of it as she let his hand go. "Well, I'll see you..around.."

Natsu nodded and laughed as he started to walk towards the guys.

Lucy blushed. I'll see you around?! Why would you say that to him Lucy?! Geez..

She heard someone clear their throat.

The girls smirked at he blushing Lucy.

She made an X with her hands. "Nothing happened you guys! It's not what you think."

"Surre it is." Levy smiled.

"I'm serious!"

"Sure you aren't. "Mirajaine smiled.

"I swear one day I'm gonna kill you guys..."

"Sure you won't. " Wendy said as Lucy groaned.

Erza took off her top and her shorts, revealing her yellow bikini. "Come on you guys, get changed! We have cheesecake to find." She said seriously.

The girls sweat dropped but took off their clothes anyway.

Levy and Wendy moped again. They looked at the other 4 girls, then at their chests.

"Flat..." They sniffled.

"You guys aren't thhhat flat..."Mirajaine said trying to cheer them up.

"So you admit it!" Levy said.

They sighed.

Erza tsked. "We have no time for this!"

She dragged the girls onto the shores of the beach.

"I need cake." Erza pouted.

Jellal walked up to her.

He put his hand behind his head and timdly said. "Your bikini looks nice."

She blushed. "Thank you Jellal-san."

"Sooo..."He said."I heard you wanted some cake."

Erza's eyes brightened at the mention of cake. She nodded.

"I was wondering if maybe..we could get some together.."

"Ah, sure." She said.

Jellal held out his hand as Erza grabbed itand they started to walk down the beach.

Erza looked back at the girls.

They mouthed the words "Ohh Kill em." As she turned red.

The girls laughed.

"Yo Wendy!" Romeo said.

She looked up.

"Do you wanna play volleyball with us?"

She nodded. "Sure."

"I'd like to play too!" Mirajaine smiled.

Gajeel looked at Levy. "You're playing too."

Levy pouted. "I don't wanna."

He grabbed her and put her over his shoulder.

"Gehee. Now you will."

Levy attempted to hit his back as he carried her over to the net.

Lucy sighed. Looks like it was just her and Juvi-

"Juvia?"

Lucy looked around. "Where the heck did she go?.."

"Gray-sama!"

"Ah!"

She watched as Juvia ran after Gray, Gray desperate for her not to catch him.

"Juvia will get you! And steal your flag!"

"Like hell that'll happen!" Gray smiled as Juvia tried to reach for the flag, failing at her attempts.

A smile came to Lucy's lips. So they're playing catch the flag, huh?

She stretched. 'Maybe I'll just lay here a bit on the sand, and catch a few rays...' She thought.

Lucy closed her eyes.

"Lucy!" Natsu said.

She opened her eyes. Natsu sat behind her, hovering over her face.

He grinned as she blushed.

"Why are you over here by yourself?"

She sat up. "Just relaxing for a bit."

Natsu scoffed. "That's no fun. You relax when you're home, not at the beach."

She crossed her arms. "This is a free country."

"If it's a free country then why do we pay for things."

"Because the freedom would be abused?"

"Eaxctly." He smiled.

Lucy snickered. "How the heck did the conversation turn out this way?"

Natsu shrugged. "Anyway, I came here to make you have some fun."

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "What type of fun?"

Natsu smiled evilly. "Gehee."

He picked up Lucy bridal style and headed for the water.

Lucy blushed and hit his chest. "Natsu! W-what are you doing?"

"Having fun."

Lucy gulped. Oh no...

He's doing exactly what she thinks he's doing.

She screamed as Natsu threw her in the water.

He laughed and pointing at the wet blonde.

"You should've seen your freaking face!"

Lucy glared.

Her eye's widened. "OWW!"

Natsu stopped laughing and walked closer to the blonde. "What's wrong?!"

"I-I think something stung me!"

Natsu walked closer. "Really? Let me see."

Lucy smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Just joking."She said pulling him in the water with her as he screamed in surprise.

She laughed as he emerged from the water, hair soaked and covered his face.

"You look like a wet pink dog!" She laughed.

Natsu wiped his hair out of his face. "You think this is funny?"

She nodded as she stifled a laugh.

Natsu smirked. "I'll show you what funny is..." He said getting dangerously close to her.

Lucy stopped laughing and started to back up.

Oh shit..

She laughed as he grabbed her and started to tickle her, making her laugh even more.

"Stop...stop...I can't breathe..." She laughed as he hugged her and tickled her sides.

"Hey lovebirds!" Gray shouted.

Natsu looked up Lucy blushed.

"What is it ice princess?"

Gray tsked. "We're playing Marco Polo. Loser buys pizza for everyone."

Natsu smiled. "Deal."

He turned to the blonde and grabbed her hand. "Let's go Lucy!"

"Uhn!" She said as they exited the water.

She blushed. Gray called them lovebirds...

And Natsu didn't mind!

Hell yes Lucy! You're getting one-step closer to his heart!

"We're back!" Erza declared as him and a blushing Erza walked up to the group.

"And where were you two~~"

"Getting cake..." Erza blushed as she pointed at her cake.

The girls looked at each other knowingly.

"So what are you guys doing?" Jellal asked.

"We're about to play Marco Polo."

"Loser buy pizza for everyone."

"I'm in." Erza smiled.

Jellal raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't we be in the water then?"

Everyone facepalmed.

"Everyone here can swim right?" Gajeel asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Yosh! Let's do this!" Natsu snickered
