Second Year

They were heading to the airport. Their vacation was over. They were kind of sad to leave, time flies by so fast, it seemed like only yesterday they came. and only two days ago Natsu and Lucy went on a double date with Jellal and Erza. Lucy stared out the window for the entire flight trying to figure out if she should or shouldn't tell him. By him she's thinking about Natsu. They both already know their feelings, they just can't seem to spit it out. As the plane landed everyone got out and their group watched as Erza grabbed all of her luggage, and there were lots of bags, and suitcases. They all walked to Magnolia, to Lucy's apartment.

" I guess this is the end of Summer..." Lucy sighed.

" Yeah, but I can't wait until next summer vacation!" Wendy cheered.

" We'll all meet here tomorrow morning, and walk to school together," Erza said.

" Sounds fine." Gray said, " Then after school, Juvia and I will go on our little date." Gray said, pulling Juvia closer to him.

" Juvia likes that idea." Juvia said.

Erza turned to Jellal, " You don't have a place do you?"

" Well, I do, its just not in this town. I can rent an apartment-"

" Which wouldn't do you any good because you wouldn't need it for the whole year. We have dorms at Fairy Tail Academy." Erza said.

Jellal sighed. " You can stay at my place for the night." Erza said, " But you get the couch."

Jellal looked up, " The couch?"

" I only have one bed. And just because your my boyfriend doesn't mean you get to sleep next to me." Erza said and turned around, so no one could see her blush. The thought of Jellal in the same bed as her made the blood rush to her face.

" Come on Wendy lets go home. See you Luce!" Natsu waved good bye.

" Bye."

Jellal followed Erza to her house. Gray left with Juvia. Gajeel and Levy went off together,Loke and Lisanna went their separate ways, which left Lucy by herself. Lucy walked into her apartment and turned on the lights. It was about time she took and nice hot shower. Afterwards she jumped on her bed and put the covers over her and stared at the roof, before closing her eyes.

" Luce. Oi! Lucy! Wake up!"

Lucy woke up and rubbed her eyes, blinked a few times, and stared at the pink haired boy.

" Natsu... what is it?" Lucy glanced at her clock, 6:00 AM. " It's so early." Lucy yawned.

" School remember?" Natsu asked.

" Mhmm, Oh yeah. Since when do you get up this early?"

Natsu shrugged, " I just wanted to get here before anyone else." Lucy looked up surprised as Natsu walked over to the kitchen, " Have any food?"

Lucy sighed and got up, " Wait a while, I'm going to get ready." Lucy said and grabbed some clean clothes and walked into the bathroom. Natsu searched the refrigerator looking for anything edible that didn't need to be cooked. All he found was milk, apples, and juice. Everything else needed to be cooked. Natsu opened up a cabinet hoping there would be a box of cereal. He found none. He sat down at the table and waited for Lucy to return. Someone knocked on the door, but Natsu ignored it at first, not wanting to get up, but when they knocked again much harder Natsu got up and walked over to the door fearing the fact that Erza might have been the one to knock. Luckily for him it was only Gray.

" Yo, where's Lucy?" Gray asked.

Natsu pointed behind him, " In there." Natsu answered, just as Lucy walked out.

" Hey Gray... wait! Why are you in my house?"

" Apartment- Natsu let me in."

" Natsu how'd you even get in here?" Lucy turned to Natsu.

" Window..."

Lucy sighed, " I'll make breakfast."

Lucy opened the refrigerator and grabbed some eggs, opened the cabinet for pancake mix and got ready.

" Its almost 7:00. " Gray noted.

" Luuuucy hurry I'm a hungry!" Natsu complained.

" Well then you should've ate before you came. "

Natsu grunted, " I can't find my money..."

Lucy rolled her eyes.

" You really are an idiot." Gray said as Lucy handed them plates full of pancakes and scrambled eggs. Natsu ate them fast and ran for the door. When he opened it Erza was standing there, fist raised as she was about to knock. She walked in and crossed her arms.

" I see you three are having a good time but, it's almost time to head to school. "

Gray and Natsu sighed, " Alright, whoever gets onto school campus last has to buy lunch for everyone for a week!" Natsu yelled running for the door. Gray ran after him yelling, Erza ran off too not wanting to be the one to pay. Which left Lucy trying to catch up.

" Natsu! That's not fair! You got a head start!"

Natsu tackled Gray just as they came to the front of the school Natsu ran through the gates making it first, Erza punched Gray just as he got up and joined Natsu on the other side smiling to herself.

" O-oi, not fair..." Gray said regaining his balance, until Lucy kicked him in the head and ran past him.

" S-sorry Gray!"

Natsu laughed, " I guess Gray's paying,"

Gray glared and attacked Natsu. While they fought each other Erza and Lucy stared at the school frowning.

" Hey... what happened here?" Lucy asked, Natsu and Gray stopped fighting and looked at the school too.

" Its all, trashy." Erza said. There school looked gloomy, not the usual cheerfulness it once had, the grass was yellow and half dead, the school walls painted with graffiti, and trash littered everywhere.

They walked into the building.

" Hey, glad you guys are here." Everyone turned around to find the Strauss family.

" Mira! Lisanna, Elfman, what happened here?" Erza asked.

" I don't know, we're heading to the Principal's office now." Mira answered.

" Alright then we'll come with you."

When the reached the office, they stepped in without knocking.

" Mr. Makarov." Erza said.

Makarov turned around to face them, " What is it children?"

" Ji-chan... what happened here?" Natsu asked.

Makarov sighed, " I'm afraid they've escaped."

" Who?" Lucy asked.

Makarov looked into her eyes, " The boy Daren and some of his friends."

Everyone gasped, " How?" Lisanna asked.

" The police aren't a sure if either there was help from the outside or the inside, but they blew up the wall. They came here a week ago. At first their parents tried bailing them out, but they couldn't, no matter how rich they are these kids were in big trouble, so they decided to escape. When they got here, well as you see they trashed up the school a bit." Makarov explained.

" They haven't done anything extreme yet?" Mira asked.

" Thankfully they haven't. The police are searching for their location right now. If we see them, the police will be notified. So if you children see them, be sure to tell us."

" Sure thing Ji-chan...after I beat the crap outta them first." Natsu said cracking his fist.

" Natsu, don't go causing trouble..."

" Don't worry... I'll only beat the crap outta them if they hurt my friends." Natsu said.

Makarov sighed, " Alright then, on to class then, you don't want to be late on the fist day."
