Natsu sat a desk, tapping his foot impatiently on the beige floor, his arms folded and his jacket hood pulled down and the strings tightened. His eyes flittered around the room, staring at the poster on the walls and the glow in the dark stick-on stars on the ceiling.

He sighed, slouching more in the seat, looking up when the door open and a beautiful blonde walked in.

"Hi!" she greeted cheerfully, a slight confusion crossing her face for a moment at his attire, "You must be Wendy's brother. I'm Lucy Heartfilia, Wendy's science teacher. I must say, Wendy is such a good girl! You must be happy to be her big brother."

Chatterbox, was the first thought that crossed his mind as she chirped a few more things while rustling through some of the drawers in her desk.

"Anyway, I just need you to sign this!" she approached him, and he stiffened out of habit.

She placed a paper with a couple of paragraphs that he was too lazy to read and a line at the bottom. He snatched the pen from her hands and scrawled N.D. above the line.

The Chatterbox was leaning over him and her eyebrows furrowed, "N.D.?" she mumbled and then cleared her throat, "What is your name?"

Why does it matter? Geez. He thought for a second before choking out, "Narusu Dragon."

He wanted to smack himself.

Her face tightened in thought before she smiled and said, "Well, um, Narusu, it's nice to meet you! I'll see you Monday," she extended her small hand and tried to find his eyes under the shadow of his hood, but he got up, ignoring her hand and started to walk out.

"Um," she stumbled after his quick pace, thinking he couldn't hear her, "See you this Monday!"

He sighed, stopping for a moment. His mind dismissed all the worrisome premonitions he had about going on this trip. He nodded. He felt something tug at his hair before a weight lifted off his hair.

All the blood drained from his face. His hood fell!

Lucy's eyebrows furrowed before she blinked- and just as fast as her eyelashes fluttered back up, the hood was on and the man was walking out the door.

"Hey-" she started, trying to recall a time where had seen that familiar... Red hair? Maybe even pink?

He cut her off, opening the door and walking out. Lucy just barely heard, "See ya," before the door shut and the room was silent.

She pursed her lips, walking back to her desk and collecting her things. She chewed the inside of her cheek, erasing everything off the board.

Where have I seen that hair before?

Natsu sighed, breaking into a jog to get to his car. He peeled off the jacket- it was too damn hot for it. Wendy was waiting for him patiently, her hip placed against the passenger door, her hands clasped together and a goofy smile on her face as she stared at a...

His eyes followed her gaze to see a-

Oh no. No! It was definitely NOT his sweet, innocent, kind, young (17 year old) sister that was staring at... At...

A BOY?!

Natsu rubbed his eyes a couple of times, even going as far as smacking his cheek.

Yep. She was staring at a black haired boy who had headphones placed over his ears.

Natsu broke out into a full blown sprint, charging toward the boy. Right as he zipped past Wendy, who was previously oblivious to his presence, he screeched, "Oh HELL no! Your ass is mine, prick!"

Wendy, patently startled out of her trance, immediately took action and ran as fast as her short legs could take her.

The boy hopped on his bike, completely unaware to the fiasco going on behind him, and leisurely rolled away.

"GET BACK HERE YOU PUNK ASS LITTLE SHIT! I'LL RIP YOUR MOTHER FUCKING THROAT OUT!" he hops over the trunk over a car, only to be hit with a backpack square in the back of his head.

Of course it didn't hurt him, but he hadn't landed yet and the backpack made him topple over.

Wendy, whose red face deeply contrasted with her blue hair. After latching her fingers onto her shirt sleeve (he had already bolted up) to ensure he wouldn't leave and picking up her backpack, she took a couple of deep breathes before-

"ARE YOU AN IDOT?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" she shook him back and forth- naturally, she didn't faze him. She barely qualified as 4'11 and he was 6'1.

Then again, the air swirling around her told him not to provoke her further.

"I can't believe you did that!" she had calmed down some and was dragging him back to his car. He remained silent, his eyes narrowed as the bit turned and disappeared from his line of sight.

Wendy kept ranting about how ridiculous the stunt he just tried to pull was, but it fell on deaf ears as he mumbled about Wendy's purity being ruined by filthy, disgusting boys.

Begrudgingly, he got in the car and leaned across Wendy in the passenger seat to open his glove box. He grabbed a small container of prescription pills and tossed one in his mouth before throwing the bottle back into the glove box and starting his car.

Wendy was still carrying on, starting to get more worked up as she added wild hand gestures to lecture.

Natsu was only thinking about how lucky that boy was that Wendy was in the car- if not, he would have promptly followed him and run him over.

The weekend had been long and hot for Lucy- she spent most of her time grading papers and packing a small bag for the field trip.

Her 'small bag' started to steadily turn into something like an overpacked carry-on; but you could never be too prepared! What if some crazy guy living in the jungle for 80 years said that he would kill all of them unless somebody gave him a purple Hello Kitty pen? She couldn't be too prepared. And, of course, she packed practically all the first aid items in her house. And snacks.

Lucy hated to admit it, but her thick, creamy thighs, butt, and chest didn't come completely from natural God-given curves. Some of it was from eating one too many ramen noodles on those days where she had to pull an all-nighter for grading papers.

Anyway-

By the time Lucy was counting kids and chaperones for the bus that would take them to her personal hell, she had set her 'bag' down because she almost dislocated her shoulder. Maybe she needed to stop hanging around Erza.

"Is everybody here?" Levy had her fingers wrapped around an orange water bottle that matched quite nicely with her yellow halter-top, orange shorts, and yellow sneakers. To top it all off, an orange headband pulled back her bangs, and a yellow scrunchie kept her blue hair in a sloppy bun. She looked like she was plucked from some kind of citrus tree.

"Not yet- Wendy has yet to arrive with her chaperone. And Elsie's parents said she couldn't come because she has a fever," Lucy frowned and glanced down at her outfit- a light blue tank-top with white draw-string shorts meant to look like jean shorts. She wiggled her toes in her pink sneakers and felt her hair held in high pony-tail by her own scruchie- though a pretty pink.

"Hmm," Erza popped up out of nowhere, her eyes hard as she shoved all her suitcases into the bottom compartment of the bus. She barely managed to get the door looking thing to close with all the suitcases in its usually empty storage space, "They better get here soon- I won't hesitate to tell the bus driver to leave without them."

Lucy bit her lip and leaned against her bag, her eyes traveling down Erza's outfit. A nicely fitting purple short-sleeved top rested on her frame, and slightly shortened grey basketball shorts adorned her hips. A bottle of bug spray was sitting in her pocket, but Lucy was sure that if a bug dared to rest on Erza, its life would end within .007 seconds without it.

Lucy was startled out of her thoughts when a stampede of students that were previously buzzing about the trip on the bus came running out of the vehicle as if their lives depended on who could get away the fastest.

Screams were heard and Lucy was knocked to the ground, her suitcase tipped over with her on top of it.

"What the-?!" she barely heard Levy shout as the crowd gathered around something.

Erza, who had also been tipped over, was up in a second and her aura practically screamed that someone was going to die.

Lucy tried to hear what everyone was saying over the screams, but it was too hard. She got up and rubbed her abdomen, which had taken most of the pain from the fall.

"What the heck?!" she walked towards the group and tried to get past it- after that failed, she jumped up as high as she could. Which also failed.

Stupid short genes.

Growing increasingly flustered, she crossed her arms and screeched at the top of her lungs, "IF YOU DON'T MOVE, I'LL HAVE THE PRINCIPAL EXPELL YOU!"

Of course she couldn't have the principal expell them, but most of the kids parted like the Red Sea and made a pathway to the middle of the circle.

"Now," Erza had already bolted up the path, and her eyes were throwing daggers at the students who seemed to get anxious, "what do we have here?"

"Um!" Wendy, dressed in a pair of soft shorts and t-shirt, hopped in front of her, "This is all my fault! It's my brother; he-"

"Sorry," a boy with pink hair stepped in front of her, and Lucy did not remember him being so dashingly handsome when she met him, "I didn't mean to distract them."

Erza, who had previously been revealing a sword from God knows where, had a big smile on her face as clasped his hand and shook it like crazy, "It's an honor to meet you!"

Lucy's jaw dropped, and her eyes would have popped out of their sockets if possible; Erza was NOT murdering him?

"Thank you!" he smiled a grand smile that Lucy found dangerously attractive- what would Wendy think if she found out Lucy thought her brother was as hot as a summer day in Florida?

Then, Levy shocked Lucy by shaking his hand shyly- what was Lucy missing here?

Before Lucy could open her mouth and speak, Romeo shouted, "Can I call you Dragon?! Or Mr. Dragneel?!"

Oh. Lucy thought.

Oh! An exclamation point appeared in her mind.

Oh.
