Meanwhile, the family was setting in the beautiful hotel. Their hotel room had three rooms, one with a big sofa, a small table in front and a big TV in front of them, a small fridge next to the TV, a desk with chair and a phone, a wardrobe and a balcony. The other two had a king-seized bed, a table with a small TV in front and a wardrobe. Their bedroom also had a bathroom for each. The hotel was big, it had a big pool outside, a bar, a game room, sauna and many more. It was also close to the beach.

" Alright, everyone. Let's head to the beach! " Igneel said excitedly, wearing his swim trunks, a surfboard in his hands. Grandeeney was wearing a two-piece blue and black bikini, a summer hat, black flip-flops and black sunglasses, holding a bag full of towels, sunscreen, bottles of water etc. Wendy was wearing a two-piece red bikini and white flip-flops.

" Hey, where's Natsu? We can't leave without him! He's going to miss the fun! " Igneel complained.

" I'm sure he's going to be here any minute. " Grandeeney smiled. Just then, the door was opened and Natsu walked inside with a ridiculous smile on his face.

" Hey, Natsu. What's wrong with you? " Igneel asked. Natsu turned to him, confused.

" What do you mean? " Natsu asked.

" You look like you were in a day dream or something. " Natsu only crossed his arms.

" Nothing. I had to use the toilet. " Igneel shrugged.

" Okay then. Get ready, cause we're going to the beach! "

" Can't you go without me? You're ready anyway. " Natsu whined.

Igneel shook his head. " I'm not gonna leave you here, reading manga all day. "

" I wasn't gonna read manga. I was gonna sleep, I'm tired! " he complained.

" Natsu. "

" Fine. " Igneel smiled.

" We'll be at the beach, now. If you're not ready in 10 minutes, I'm gonna come here and force you. "

" Yeah, yeah. Whatever. " When they left, Natsu let his body fall onto the soft bed.

" Man, I really wanna sleep. " he mumbled. He signed and got up, changing into his swim trunks.

Maybe I'll meet that Lucy girl again. Just the thought of her made him blush. He shook his head, grabbing his towel and MP3 player, and left the room.

At the beach

Natsu was sitting on a chair, listening to his MP3 player. The others were in the water, splashing each other. It was ridiculous and funny, since Wendy and Grandeeney were splashing Igneel and Igneel was losing. Happy was eating a fish, while Carla was laying on Wendy's towel. Though it was really peaceful, there weren't many people. He noticed a group of girls playing volleyball, two with blue hair, one with brown, the other with red hair. He thought about Lucy. He wondered where she came from, and if she's from Magnolia, does she go to his school? He really wanted to get to know her, since he couldn't take her out of his mind. He wished he would see her and talk to her again.

As if his wish came true, he heard a soft voice calling him. " Natsu? "

The boy looked up, startled, to see none other than Lucy, the girl on his mind. He stood up, taking his earphones off and smiled.

" Hey. "

" Hi. Why aren't you in the water? It's so clear. " Natsu now noticed that she was wet, making him blush.

" I just don't feel like swimming. My family forced me to come here, when I told them I'm tired. " He cleared his throath. " What about you? "

" I was swimming with my friends and noticed you were alone, so I came here to ask you to join us, but since you don't want to, how about we go and eat ice cream? " she suggested. Natsu smiled.

" Yeah, sure. "

They both walked to a store, where they bought two chocolate ice creams. They sat on a bench where a palm was protecting them from the sun.

" So, Natsu. Where are you from? " Lucy started.

" From Magnolia. " her eyes widened.

" Really, me too! " Natsu smiled widely.

" Which school do you go to? "

" Mavis High School. You? " she noticed his sad look.

" I go to Magnolia High. " she looked disappointed.

" Well, at least we could spend time together. " They both smiled and blushed.

" Yeah. So how are you staying here? " he asked.

" Well, I came here yesterday with my friends, so I'm staying here for ten days. You? "

" Two weeks. " her eyebrows raised in amusement.

" That's long. " He nodded in agreement.

" Yeah. My step-mom and step-sister were really excited for the vacation. " Lucy looked confused.

" Step-mom? " Natsu looked down.

" My dad and her are married for 5 years now. She has a daughter, who is my step-sister and they moved into our house so we could live like a family. "

" What about your mom? " Natsu blinked back the tears in his eyes.

" She died from lung cancer. " Lucy placed a hand over her mouth, her own eyes watering.

" I'm so sorry. " she looked down. "... My mom died in a car accident when I was 7. " Natsu looked up at her, shocked.

" I'm sorry. " Lucy smiled, and even though there were tears rolling down, she still looked beautiful. She brushed them away.

" How about we go to the beach? I want you to meet my friends. " she said. Natsu nodded.

" Sure. " They got up after eating their ice creams and walked towards the beach.

As they walk, neither of them noticed they were walking hand in hand.
