The boys sat together in one room, all of them were eating dinner, they were to lazy to go to a decent restaurant with the girls, so they just ordered pizza. The room was messy, cloths were everywhere, trash on the floor.

" Thanks, for what you did the other day." Jellal said.

" Hey no problem." Gray said.

" Besides it was the girls idea, we just sent you over there." Natsu said, " And it was a good thing too, since you all did manage to bring back food."

" Yeah, and it took you forever," Gray said.

" And now, I have an announcement, Erza and I are going on a date, well not really, we're just going to be together, by the beach, alone..." Jellal sighed.

" Nice! Have fun man!" Loke said, patting Jellal on the shoulder.

" I was wondering, I've been with Erza this morning Lucy was with us along with Levy of course, and well, I couldn't help but notice, Lucy seemed off."

" Your point?"

" I think Natsu should come with me and Erza, Lucy should come too. It could be a double date."

Natsu choked on his drink, spat it out, spraying it on Gray.

" What the Hell? Natsu!"

" W-Wait, Me and Lucy with You and Erza? I-"

" Oh Come on Natsu, we all know how you feel about her. And we were there when you two kissed."

" You've been spacing out all morning." Gray said.

" I think he's thinking about how Jellal could get Erza, but he can't get Lucy." Loke said.

" What? I was not!"

" I heard from Levy that Lucy's been saying stuff about you." Gajeel Said, " How your so cute when you sleep and stuff."

" Shut it Metal face!"

" She watched Natsu Sleep?" Loke asked surprised.

" You haven't told Levy how you felt yet huh?" Jellal asked.

" ..."

" And Natsu-"

Natsu got up, " I know I know!"

" Come on Gajeel go on, confess to Levy, "

" No way, she's not my type."

" Right, well don't come whining to us if Levy moves on and goes for some stupid looking dude, that she thinks is so much cooler than you. She'll go on and on about how adorable he is, how much stronger he is than you, how he isn't afraid to tell her things, anything and- "

" Alright! Alright! Now Shut up!" Gajeel yelled and walked after Natsu.

They laughed.

Natsu walked over to Lucy's room, before he knocked he turned to Gajeel.

" You're actually going to do it?" Natsu asked.

Gajeel snorted, " Of course not."

Natsu rolled his eyes," Then go away."

" What you don't want me to watch you two go through cheesy lines, about romance and how you two are just dying to see each other how you want to be with her forever? Because that's pretty much how Jellal did it."

" Wrong. He just said he wanted to be with her forever. How he'll love her until he dies and beyond that, and blah blah blah. I'm not doing that. I'll just... cut to the chase, ya know?"

" What ever, " Gajeel said and walked away. Natsu sighed in relief. Finally, he's alone, and didn't have to listen to the others tell him how to do things. Natsu knocked the door once, and it opened.

" Hey Natsu." Lucy said.

" Hey..."

They stood there in silence until Lucy spoke.

" Why are you here? If Erza comes back and see's you left the room when its going to be night soon, she'll beat you up. "

Natsu winced, just thinking about the demonic Erza made him shiver, he didn't want to go through one of her speeches or her beatings.

" I-I was thinking, you know how Jellal's going out with Erza tonight? " Lucy nodded, " Well I was wondering, If you want to come... with me, you know, a double date. We're going to the beach and..." Natsu shrugged.

Lucy smiled, " Your asking me out?"

Natsu scratched the back of his head, " I- yeah." Natsu hugged her.

" Natsu..."

Natsu turned red and pulled back, " I shouldn't be feeling embarrassed by hugging, since we already kissed and all but..."

Lucy laughed, " I know, Its strange isn't it. Love."

Natsu blinked, " Well then, I'll go see when we're leaving. See you later?"

Lucy nodded.

" So?" Gray stared at Natsu.

" So?" Natsu asked.

" So?"

" So what?"

" So how'd it go?"

" How'd what go?"

" You know."

" No, actually, I don't."

" How'd your little confession to Lucy thing go, Did you go ,' LUCY I LOVE YOU!'?"

Natsu turned red, " No! I just asked her to come with me, on a date, with Jellal."

" You're going on a date with Jellal? Wow man, didn't think you were gay."

" I'm NOT! And you know what I meant you idiot!"

Gray laughed, " Oi, Oi, don't get upset man, I know what you meant, I just couldn't help saying that, the way you said it, It was just-" Gray burst out laughing again.

Natsu sighed, " What ever. Are and Juvia going on another date sooner or later?"

Gray nodded, " When we get back. Juvia likes the cooler weather, she likes the rain. And its going to rain more when we get back."

" Cool." Natsu looked around, " It seems everyone's gone, even Loke."

" Loke went to bed, said he's too tired to play video games with me, wonder why he has to be tired now."

" Maybe because you suck at playing video games. You die way to easily."

" Are you kidding I'm better than you."

" You are not!"

" I'm so much better."

The door slammed open.

" Hey Natsu whats keeping you?" Jellal asked.

" We're leaving now?"

" Let me think, we're going to the beach TONIGHT, and lets see it is... oh look its midnight."

Natsu frowned, " Huh. Okay."

It was cold, but not freezing. It was nice, the wind was blowing in their faces. Lucy was happy. She already knew Natsu liked her, and he knew she liked him. But she never thought he'd ask her to come to the beach. The moon's reflection glittered in the water. Lucy watched Natsu run back in forth in the waves. She turned to see Jellal and Erza looking at each other, she thought it was best to leave those two alone, and join Natsu in the water. She jumped in the waves knocked her over. She swam up to Natsu.

" T-the water is colder than I thought." Lucy shivered, " How can you swim when its so cold?"

Natsu shrugged, " I'm just use to it, Gray keeps the room very cold at night, he says he likes it that way, I like it hot, like burning hot."

" Is that why your so unusually warm? "

" I guess, never noticed though."

Lucy moved closer to Natsu.

" Is it okay? If I stay like this? Your warm, and the water's cold..."

" Sure." Natsu said wrapping his arms around her. Sure enough Lucy felt a bit warmer.

" Alright you two get out of the water before you get sick!" Erza yelled.

" Awww. Does she always have to ruin the moment?"

Lucy laughed, and started getting out of the water.

" We can sleep in the hotel, if Gray turns on the air conditioning, maybe you should change rooms so you can put on the heater." Lucy suggested.

" Good Idea, but you know, in school, he's my room mate, I can't change that."

" Then you should compromise. Put it on at a level which is good for both you and Gray."

" Sorry not gonna happen, we can't compromise on anything. Its either cold or hot, and I want it hot."

Lucy shrugged, " Alright then." They walked past Jellal and Erza, " We're heading back to the hotel, you two can stay."

" Alright then, make sure Natsu doesn't do anything stupid! And if he fights Gray, be sure, to show them who's boss!" Erza said.

" What!" Natsu yelled shocked, " You're not actually going to do that are you?"

Lucy winked, " We'll see. Now lets head back to the hotel."

They walked, it was a good thing the hotel was close to the beach, the would soon get some heat.

" Are you excited for school?" Lucy asked.

" Why should I be? That just means, less fun time, more boring homework."

" But, last year wasn't exactly boring now was it?"

" No, it wasn't. But this years different. "

Lucy sighed, " I guess, but you never know."

The walked through the hotel doors and into an elevator.

" Well then, I hope this year will be fun." Natsu said.

The elevator reached their floor level. Natsu and Lucy stepped out and walked down the hall.

" I do too, you know, Fairy Tail Academy seems like the most exciting, non-boring school in Magnolia."

" I know. But we still get homework."

They stopped in front of a door.

" I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Natsu said.

Lucy nodded. She stepped into her room and turned on the lights. It was nice, spending some time with Natsu, even if it wasn't that long. Talking about school, she noticed it was getting very close to the beginning of the year again. Here comes more homework...
