"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATSU!!" Yelled the whole guild in unison as Natsu walked into the guild hall. "We all got you a present, Natsu! There's also cake, snacks and more food!" Lisanna informed Natsu.

"But why are you all being so nice?" questioned Natsu. "Cause' it's your birthday, Flame Brains, why wouldn't we?" said Gray stepping out of the crowd. "Gray?! Even your being nice?" cried Natsu. "Happy birthday, Salamander!" shouted Gajeel as he threw a present at Natsu, sending him flying into a wall. "And Gajeel?!" said Natsu now incredibly surprised.

"I wouldn't exactly call that being nice but I guess it's an improvement." said Lucy.

"Now that you're here you have to open presents!" smiled Wendy, now excited. "Ok then!" said Natsu as he approached the present table.

Natsu picked up the first present labeled, "To Natsu, Happy Birthday! From Lucy" "Looks like the firsts one's from Lucy." announced Natsu. He ripped the wrapping off and threw it across the room into the fireplace. Natsu found himself looking at a tweed wrist band that would go well with his outfit.

"Wow! Thanks Lucy!" Natsu said trying it on. Indeed it did look well with his outfit and also went well with his hair when he tried wearing it as a crown. Gifts that followed were things like... A iron sculpture of a dragon from Gajeel, a flame dispenser from Lisanna, a fish with a red, silk ribbon around it (raw) from Happy and many more from people like Juvia, Erza, Mira, Laxus and the rest of the Thunder Legion, team Shadow Gear, Gildarts, Kana, Gramps, Wendy and Carla, Pantherlily and pretty much everyone else in the guild.

There was also the few odd gifts sent in from others outside the guild including members of Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Jellal and the rest of his guild.

After that was cake. And a feast. And more cake after that. And another feast. And eventually more cake. Most members have passed out from having eating contests with Natsu and Happy. By sundown, the last members standing were Natsu, Gray, Happy, Erza and Freed. Freed had kept to eating nibbles of things at a time so he hadn't passed out. Natsu on the other hand, had eaten truck loads of food at a time. Gray had sat in the corner watching, Happy eating truck loads with Natsu and Erza in the process of challenging Natsu and Happy

"Wonder how long it'll take for Natsu, Happy or Erza to eat each other to death." thought Gray as he watched silently. Freed approached Gray friendly. They chatted as the other three ate and ate until night fall.

Happy finally fell over after all the eating witch left only Natsu and Erza. "I shall not lose to you!" pronounced Erza with her moth full of steak. "And I will not lose to you either!" shouted Natsu with his moth full of chicken.

It was about midnight when Erza fell over. Freed and Gray shuddered as the all powerful and mighty Erza had been beaten by Natsu. "Ha! I can beat Erza at something after all!" said Natsu very full of himself. "Wow never thought Erza would actually lose." said Gray still staring. "Guess it was coming sooner or later." "I suppose it was." said Freed standing up. "I shall tidy up the guild if you, Gray, want to accompany Natsu for a while?" Gray nodded and walked towards Natsu.

"Well done, I guess." said Gray. "I bet you couldn't beat Erza, Gray!" boasted Natsu. "Maybe not at a eating contest anyway." said Gray looking down at Erza. "Anyway, Natsu, I'm gonna sit down and sleep cause I can't be bothered walking back home, so unless you want to help Freed clean floors and dishes you better get home or do what I'm doing." Gray walked over to the end of a booth and sat underneath the table and closed his eyes.

Natsu looked over at Freed trying to move Gajeel across the room and immediately turned over to Gray who was now gently snoring. Natsu crept towards him, trying not to wake him. He curled up next to him and placed his head on Gray's lap gently. Natsu soon drifted of to sleep along with Gray.

Freed looked over at Gray and Natsu and a smile crossed his pale face.

Another long-ish one so I hope you don't mind! Again don't be afraid to leave a bad review as it builds my writing up even more.

Remember to have fun when writing and use imagination throughout your entire life!
