/ CHAPTER 2 – Welcome /
"Relax, Natsu. Take a deep breath. Inhale... Exhale..." Mirajane assured him. "You can do it. You can do it."
"Ah... ah... I..." Natsu was panicking and couldn't focus. "W-what if they don't like me? What if I dropped the glass? What if I messed up?!"
"Hey! Get your ass out there and start working, brat!" Cana yelled from the kitchen. "I'm busy cooking here! And the guests are waiting for their maid to serve them!"
"B-but I-
THWACK!
"Focus, Natsu. Or do I need to smack some sense into your head one more time? It's not going to be as gentle as the last one." Mirajane smiled evilly and prepared to hit Natsu's head for the second time.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail Café, Master!" Lucy and Lisanna greeted the guests as they usually did.
"I'm Lucy and I will be your maid for today! Lucy is at your service, Master!" The blonde girl said in sweet tone.
Lisanna too, did the same thing as Lucy. They both took the guests in, led them to their table, and took their order. Not forgetting, the sweet attitude. Well, of course Natsu had already learned that attitude too.
In the morning before the café opened, Natsu was introduce to Lucy and Lisanna, another maids he would work with. The two taught Natsu the basic things to become a proper maid, especially the sweet attitude. Lisanna was Mirajane's little sister. But neither she nor Lucy knew the fact about Natsu who was a boy. Mirajane and Cana promised to keep the secret just between the two of them.
All the maids, except for Natsu, didn't work full time there. They were university students and each had different class schedules. When they're not having a class, they came to work at the café.
"Okay, enough observing. Now start experiencing." Mirajane said from behind Natsu who was peeking hesitantly at the crowded dining hall from the locker room. "Look, there are a group of teenage girls waiting for their maid to greet them. Go, go."
'Gulp... Here I go...'
"W-welcome to Fairy Tail Café, M-master."
'Shit... It's very embarrassing to address someone as Master.'
"I'm N-Natsu. I will be your m-maid for today. Natsu is at your service, M-master."
The pink haired maid escorted the three teenage girls to an empty table for three. Then he waited patiently until the girls decided what they wanted to order.
"Okay. L-let me repeat. It's one chicken soup, two breakfast set, and three ice lemon tea. Please wait just a moment. I'll be delivering your orders soon. E-excuse me, Master."
When Natsu was about to leave, a girl called him. "Natsu, is it?"
"Y-yes, Master?" Natsu nervously turned around. 'D-did I do anything wrong?'
"You're a new maid here, aren't you? I've never seen you before."
"Yes, I am. I've just started working here t-today." Natsu answered hesitantly. "Is something w-wrong, Master? I truly apologies for my mistakes if I made any."
"No, no! There's nothing wrong, really." One of the girls said. "We just wanted to wish you good luck! You seem to have a good potential to be one of the maids."
"All the maids here are beautiful. So are you. You are all our role model to grow up to be beautiful girls!" Another girl giggled. "And of all the maids, you have that gorgeous pink hair. It's real, isn't it? I wish I have natural pink hair color too."
'... Well... I think... It's not that bad... working here... Hehe...'
"Okay, that's all. We just want to wish you luck, Natsu!" The third girl smiled.
"T-thank you, Master! I'll do my best!"
It was such a very effective mood booster for Natsu. He became more and more confident, eager to greet and serve more customers. Slowly but sure, he started to feel relax and could smile freely.
"Well, I think Natsu is doing a very good job until now." Lucy said to Mirajane and Lisanna. "She's pretty, and her cheerful attitude suits her well."
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Café, Master!" Natsu bowed once again to greet the guests. "I'm Natsu and I'll be your maid for today. Natsu is at your service!"
"Ooh~... Such a pretty waitress here." An old man in his mid forty came into the café. "Show me the table then, pretty maid." The man put his hand on Natsu's back while they're walking.
"I sense trouble from that man. Lucy, Lisanna, I think one of you have to switch with Natsu." Mirajane said in worry. "With no experience, Natsu might be in trouble facing an old man like that."
Before Lucy and Lisanna went, Cana stopped them. "Wait. Lets see what that brat will do in a situation like this. I want to know how h- she acts. I'm curious."
"What do you want to order, Master?" Natsu still asked politely.
"Can I have you for today's lunch, dear pretty maid?" The old man took Natsu's hand and kissed it.
'Yuck!' Immediately, Natsu snatched his hand away. "I'm sorry, Master, but my name is not included in the menu. Please order what's written on the menu only."
"Such a shame. I should talk to the owner to include your name in the menu then." The man then ordered something from the menu. And before Natsu left, he sent a wink that made Natsu shivered.

"Natsu, are you okay? Do you want to switch place with me?" Lisanna approached the pinkette. "I'm sorry. We forgot to tell you that sometimes there are customers like that."
"Oh, no need. It's fine, really." Natsu said. "So you guys have to deal with... perverts like that? All the time?"
"Well, what do you expect, kiddo? Why do you think the payment is high, eh?" Cana said while preparing Natsu's orders. "Here. That pervert's order."
'Hmm... No wonder the payment is high. While dealing with those type of guests, we have to be able to defend ourselves too.' Natsu thought and took the food. "Thanks, Cana. And thank you for your concern, Lisanna. But don't worry about me. I can handle it just fine." He grinned.
Natsu walked back to the man's table and placed the food. "Thank you for your patient, Master. Here's your order. Enjoy."
Suddenly the man yanked Natsu's hand. "Won't you accompany me, Natsu?"
"I'm sorry, Master, but I also have another Master to serv-
'... Hmm? Something is... creeping from my thigh up to my... Damn it. This bastard...'
"Aah... What a soft skin, smooth thigh..." The man's hand was creeping up until, "And such a... delicate bum."
"N-Natsu..." Lucy said behind the counter. "W-we need to do something! It's a sexual harassment!"
"Shit. Mira, take over the kitchen. I'll help that brat." Cana quickly got out from her station to help Natsu. "Hey-
SNAP. SMACK. TWIST. SLAM!
"O-ouch! Ouch!" The old man screamed in pain.
"Excuse me, Master." Natsu slammed and held the old man's head on the food plate covered with sauce, while his other hand locked the naughty hand behind his back. He leaned closer and whispered on the man's ear. "I think this hand of yours needs some... education, doesn't it? Master?"
The pink haired maid gave more pressure to the locked hand. "Ouch! Ah! Stop it! My arm! You'll break my arm!"
After a few moments, Natsu decided to release the man. The terrified man quickly pulled away from Natsu, ignoring his dirty face and shirt which were covered by food and sauce. He immediately pulled some money from his wallet, threw it on the table, and got out of the café as fast as he could.
"Thank you for coming, Master! I hope you enjoy your visit!" Natsu bowed down at the fleeing man and started cleaning the messy table.
He did the cleaning while humming his favorite song as if nothing happened. "Oh! Mira! Look! That man is paying much more than he ordered! Such a generous man. Can I keep the change, please?"
Mirajane was staring.
Cana was staring.
Lucy and Lisanna were staring.
The guests were staring.
Everybody in the café was staring at Natsu.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Natsu asked obliviously.
"... Nothing. Looks like you can take care of yourself, eh brat?" Cana sighed and laughed.
"Well, kind of. I learned some martial arts when I was a kid. So I can defend myself and protect others too, I hope. Hehe." Natsu scratched the back of his head and laughed sheepishly.
Hearing that, everyone in the café praised him. Even the guests were amazed by his heroic action. And the pinkette only grinned happily in return. 'This is surely a great job for me!'

"Mira! We're coming!"
"Juvia, Levy, welcome back." Mirajane greeted them before she called Natsu. "Girls, this is Natsu. She's been working here since this morning. Natsu, these are Juvia and Levy, they're maids in this café too."
After a little chit-chat, Natsu quickly escaped from the locker room when Juvia and Levy suddenly took their clothes off to change into the maid uniform. 'I forgot. They think I'm a girl!' He blushed madly and covered his face with his hand.
"Okay! Juvia's ready!" Juvia got out from the locker room.
"Whoah! How come you changed your clothes so fast?!" Natsu was shocked.
"Because Master Gray is coming soon! So Juvia must be very ready for him whenever he comes!" The blue haired girl giggled and skipped happily towards the guests.
"Master Gray? Who's that?" Natsu was confused.
"Natsu! Move your ass and get back to work, brat! There are orders waiting to be delivered!" Cana shouted.
"Y-yes, Ma'am!"
CLINK. CLINK.
"Kyaa! It's them!"
"We sure come at the right time!"
"Aaahh~... My princes..."
Some of the girls giggled while glancing at the four male guests.
"Oh, it's them. Finally." Cana said to herself. "And now, the real test begins, Natsu. Good luck, boy."

Author's Note: I feel the need of making Natsu mastering martial arts. Because he needs to be able to defend himself and to make him less OOC (but I think I failed *sob*). Also, it's gonna support the story as well; that ability of his.
Question time: "Can you guess who are the four male guests?" (Stupid question, I know; with an obvious answer... maybe...)
