Lesson

"Lucy remember to grab the sunscreen. You know you burn easily."

"I don't need it Erza. Just relax."

"Don't you remember last time?"

"I'll be fine."

"I warned you." Erza said as she threw her bag over her shoulder. Lucy and Erza were heading out to go to the beach with the rest of their friends. Lucy walked out the door behind Erza and shut the door. They started walking towards the beach hand in hand.

…...

"Natsu! Come over here and use your fire to start the grill!" Lisanna yelled. Natsu came running towards her with a smile on his face.

"Sure thing Li."

"Have Erza and Lucy gotten here yet?"

"Not that I know of."

"It's a pervert!"

"Get him!"

"Gray your clothes!"

Natsu turned towards the yelling and laughed. Gray was running around naked again, but this time people were chasing after him. The crowd finally caught up to him and tackled him to the ground. Mothers were beating him with sticks while the children laughed.

Natsu couldn't resist making fun of Gray. "Hey I guess you learned your lesson pervert!"

"What's going on?"

Natsu turned around. "Oh hey Luce, Erza. Gray was running around naked when some concerned parents attacked him."

"That idiot." Erza said as she started walking towards the group of yelling people. On the way she picked up Gray's shorts. Erza could see Gray in the pile of people. She reached in and pulled Gray out. He hid behind her and pulled his shorts on. The mob of people started to go back to what they were doing earlier. "I hope you learned your lesson Gray."

"Aye..." Gray went and sat down at the edge of the water while watching all the people around him. Erza walked back to Natsu and Lucy who were laughing.

"Let's get back to this little break."

"Sure thing Erza. How about we go find Mira?"

"All right."

…...

The rest of the day passed by fairly quick. The group of friends played games and went swimming. The sun was shining down brightly and Erza kept thinking about Lucy. She was going to get burned pretty bad in this weather. The blonde had not even sat down in the shade that day. Erza knew that when they got home Lucy would be in pain.

"Hey Erza! Everyone is starting to go home."

"Okay Lucy. Let's get back home as well."

…...

Erza and Lucy walked into their home and Erza set her bag down by the door. Lucy stretched her arms above her head and hissed in pain.

"What did I tell you Lucy?"

"I'm sure it's not that bad..."

"Come with me."

Lucy followed Erza upstairs to their bedroom. Erza told Lucy to sit down on the bed while she went into the bathroom. When she came back out she was holding a bottle of something.

"Take your shirt off Lucy."

"Someone's bossy..."

"I'm trying to help you."

Lucy slowly pulled her shirt off and tried to untie her bikini top. Erza sighed and sat down beside her and untied it for her. She dropped it on the ground.

"Told you so Lucy. Now you're as red as..."

"If you say I'm as red as your hair I'm going to scream."

Erza chuckled and tied Lucy's hair up. "No I was going to say red as a lobster, but I like yours better."

Lucy sighed. "Thanks..."

"Hold still while I put this on you."

"Put what o..." Lucy jumped. "That's cold!"

"I said hold still."

"You could have warned me."

"You could have listened to me this morning too."

"..."

"Exactly." Erza finished rubbing the gel on Lucy's shoulders and stood up. "Now stay right here."

"Fine."

Erza walked into the bathroom again and came out with a bottle of pills. "This should help with the pain a little bit. I'm going to go get you some water." Erza walked out of the room again and Lucy sighed.

'This really hurts...'

Lucy looked up when Erza entered the room again, but with a glass of water this time. She handed it to Lucy and handed her some of the pills. Lucy swallowed them and drank some water to wash them down.

"So what did you learn today Lucy?"

"...To listen to you..."

"Next time you're going to bring the sunscreen right?"

"Yeah."
