Hey Angels! Sorry this took so long. I really have no life at this point anymore. But anyways I hope that you all like this new chapter ^.^ Alright here you go! Enjoy!

I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters. Those rights belong to Hiro Mashima.

With that Lucy and Natsu went back to the locker rooms first so that they could change. While Natsu just changed into his outfit from earlier, Lucy remembered that she had an outing with Sting later. She brought a sheer navy blue top with multicolored flowers printed on it. To give her some decency, she wore a yellow cami under the shirt to bring out the flowers. The complete the outfit she put on a pair of skinny jeans that flattered her butt and a pair of navy blue flats to match the shirt. She took her hair out of the ponytail she'd had it in all day and sprayed it with some dry shampoo and volumizer. When she was satisfied with her look she met Natsu back out in the hallways.

The pair then went to the student center so that they could give back his yoga mat. Afterwards, Natsu took Lucy over to the student parking lot so that they could get his car. The blonde had to admit that she was impressed by his ride. She was so used to Sting's '97 Honda Civic, that, when she found herself in the passenger seat of Natsu's brand new Chevy Camero, she didn't know what to do. The car matched with him so well that she couldn't help but giggle to herself.

Between giving directions, cracking jokes, and getting to know one another, the ride to Fairy Tail was filled with conversation. They laughed and joked so much that Lucy almost forgot to tell Natsu where the turn to Fairy Tail was. Her saving grace was that the building was so noticeable that you would have to be a complete idiot not to notice it.

The alumni bought out an old car dealership and changed it to the student lounge. The building itself was huge and had lots of land around it from all the cars that were brought in. Most of the old parking lot was converted to outdoor play areas which included a pool, basketball court, a beach volleyball net, and a go-cart ring.

The porch of the dealership was stocked with tables and chairs for anyone who would want to sit outside. The inside showroom had all the desks and office step ups removed and in their place were many lounge type tables and chairs. Parallel to the front door was the bar and the back of that had the kitchen where the meals were cooked. A hallway in the back led to the restrooms and game center. Fully stocked with skeeball, foosball table, some pinball machines, and video game set ups, the game center was popular.

The upstairs had all of its offices renovated and turned into study areas. Many of the current students and the alumni also volunteered and became tutors to help those that may be struggling. Along with the study rooms, the corner office was reserved for whoever the dean of the academy at the time.

All in all the atmosphere of the lounge was pretty much the same as the campus itself. The lighting gave the building a bright and homey feel to it. The constant conversations and, occasional fights, made the place all the more enjoyable.

When Natsu pulled into the parking lot, he was immediately impressed. Never been to a place that made him immediately feel like he was home. His own apartment never even did that for him.

Lucy giggled at Natsu's awestruck face. "Well, what are you waiting for? The door isn't gonna open itself."

Natsu rolled his eyes and followed being the snickering blonde. As soon as they opened the doors Lucy yelled out "I'm home!" to all of the people inside. To the pinkette's surprise, she was met back with a chorus of "Welcome back Lucy!" Many different people waved and headed over to her to give her hugs. Lucy led him over to a table near the window, which was immediately filled with other people.

He met a lot of people who introduced themselves, and many who were quick to make him feel comfortable. Natsu made up his mind, in that moment, that he would make this place his second home. Even if he had to come here every day, he would make sure that these people would soon greet him just as they greeted Lucy.

A few girls came over to the table and started talking to Lucy. He recognized the white haired girl, called Lisanna, from earlier, as she also joined them at the table. He started feeling out of place until one of the guys who introduced themselves earlier, with pale skin and dark black hair, (Gary maybe?) walked up and sat beside him. The new arrival looked Natsu over a couple times before he settled on the top of his head in confusion.

"So… could you explain why you decided to dye your hair pink? I mean, is it a statement type thing or did you lose a dare?"

"No. This is my natural hair color."

"No fucking way."

"Yup."

"Dude, then why the hell don't you dye it? It makes people kind of skeptical."

"Listen, you're cool and all but, if this is your way of coming on to me, I'm sorry but I don't swing that way."

"What the fuck! Who the hell would try to come onto you?

"You! You're the one walking over here with your shirt off!"

"What the- where the hell is my shirt?!"

"The fuck are you asking me for stripper?!"

"You wanna go pinky!?"

"Bring it!"

At this point in time, many of the other patrons had stopped to watch the fray. They were all surprised that this new, brightly colored, guy that Lucy brought with her had managed to make Gray want to fight. Even more surprising is that they didn't notice the demon they had awakened.

The redhead looked up and saw the argument take place. She sighed and decided it was time she address the issue.

"Gray." At the mention of his name, the guy in question had an instant shiver run up his spine. "You aren't fighting are you?"

"A-A-ah-ahh n-no no no no no not at all Erza. I wouldn't dare."

Natsu watched the encounter between the two and got even more agitated that some girl stopped their fight.

"Hey! Red! Why the hell are you budding in?!"

The entire establishment went quiet. No one dared to breathe lest they inflict her wrath on themselves. Lucy looked over at the new guy and had to admit that he had balls for challenging Erza Scarlet, but she knew hers were bigger.

Erza reached over the table, grabbed a fistful each of pink and black, and slammed the two heads together. She then threw them over to a large white-haired guy who kept spouting something about a man. This sparked an all-out brawl in the lounge. Most of the participants just wanted to test out the new guy's strength (who handled himself quite well) but, many just chose to be spectators to the debacle.

Lucy couldn't help but giggle at how quick Natsu got accustomed to the atmosphere. 'I think I found his favorite place.'

I hope I'm not the only one laughing during this chapter. I thought it was funny the entire time. Well please do me the honor of reviewing this chapter. I would love to know what you all thought of what I have written here. Thank you! Till next time Angles^.^
