When Natsu returned to his family, he saw Igneel laying on his stomach with Grandeeney putting sunscreen on her hands and massaging his back. Wendy was eating a sandwich and drinking an orange juice.

Grandeeney looked up and smiled " Natsu, hey. Where have you been? You missed the fun! "

" I decided to look around the place. Sorry I didn't tell you guys. " Natsu said.

" You could've taken Wendy with you. She wanted to explore the place and buy a souvenir. " Igneel said.

" Yeah, but you guys were having fun so I didn't want to interrupt you. " Natsu scratched the back of his head. " Anyway, I'm going back to the hotel, I'm tired. And it's 03:30p.m. "

Igneel sat up. " Already? But you didn't join us in the water, son. "

Natsu rolled his eyes. " Maybe tomorrow. You forced me when I told you I was tired, old man. "

" I'm tired too, dad. So I'm going with Natsu. " Wendy said, Carla in her arms.

Igneel signed. " Alright. Me and your mother will stay here a little longer, it's still sunny. "

" Alright. Come on Wendy. " Natsu said and he along with Wendy, Happy and Carla, walked back to the hotel.

When they entered their room, Natsu layed down on the bed, Wendy sat next to him. " Hey Natsu? "

" Yeah? " He rested his hand on his forehead.

" Who was the blond girl you were talking to? " At this, Natsu looked at his step-sister.

" What do you mean? "

Wendy smiled. " The blond girl. When I walked to the hotel, I turned around and saw you talking to her and... you were blushing. " Natsu blushed furiously.

" Alright. But you won't tell dad, promise? "

Wendy smiled again. " I promise. "

Natsu began. " Yes, I talked to her. A ball hit me and she came and asked me if I was alright. Her name is Lucy. She is from Magnolia but goes to Mavis High school. "

" Were you with her this whole time when we were at the beach? " she asked.

Natsu nodded blushing. " She was with her friends. She offered to go and buy ice cream. Then I met her friends. They're staying here but on the first floor but we're meeting in like- " he looked at his watch. " - an hour and 15 minutes. "

Wendy beamed. " Can I come with you? "

Natsu sat up. " Yeah. I'm sure they'll love to meet you. " he smiled.

Happy meowed. Natsu laughed and patted his head. " We should take Happy and Carla. " Wendy said.

" As long as there aren't any fights. " he said.

" Don't worry. Carla will behave, right Carla? " The said cat meowed in response.

" Wait. What do we tell dad? " Wendy thought.

" We'll tell him that we're going around the city and buy souvenirs. I really want to explore this place. "

" Okay then. "

" But, why don't you want dad to know about Lucy? "

" Because he'll start teasing me non-stop. It's horrible. " he shuddered.

" Why don't we tell mom then? "

" Because she'll tell old man. They don't keep secrets from each other. " Wendy looked down.

" Come on. Let's get some rest before we meet them. " he layed down on the bed and closed his eyes.

" Okay then. I'll take a shower. " Natsu responded with a quiet hmm before falling into a deep sleep.

With the girls:

Cana was laying on her bed, watching TV with Juvia. Levy was reading a book. Lucy and Erza were in the bathroom, putting on make-up.

" Lucy, can I ask you something? But answer me truthfully. " Erza asked as she put on foundation.

" Yeah, sure. What is it? " she asked putting on lip gloss.

" Do you like Natsu? " Lucy stopped and thought deeply. Even though she met him a few hours ago, she somehow felt a connection to him, like she had known him from childhood. His spiky pink hair looked so soft, his kind deep eyes looked at her, as if they're looking into her soul, his smile was breath taking, so warm and welcoming.

" Uh, Lucy? " Erza snapped her fingers in front of Lucy's face, snapping her back to earth.

" Are you alright? "

Lucy nodded. " Yeah. "

Erza crossed her arms and grinned. " Were you thinking about Natsu? "

Lucy blushed a hundred times red. " No, I wasn't! " Erza gave her a look. " Maybe I was. "

" So, you didn't answer my question. " Erza said.

Lucy signed. " To tell you the truth, when I first met Natsu, I felt some kind of connection to him. And when we talked, I didn't feel nervous or scared. I felt... safe and comfortable. I feel like I can trust him when I tell him a secret. He was so sweet, kind, and when we were holding hands. " she blushed at that. " I felt warm and electricity. Something I've never felt with him. Even though I've known him for a few hours, Natsu is different and I can tell that he's a really good person. " After Lucy finished, she looked at Erza and was shocked to see tears in her eyes.

Erza brushed them away. " That was so beautiful. The same way I felt with Jellal, except that I've known him my entire life. " she signed.

Lucy looked at her. " Where is he if I may ask? "

" He's in Hargeon, studying and working. It's been a year since I last saw him. "

" You miss him, don't you? " Erza nodded.

" A lot. "

The two girls hugged each other. " Forget about what happened in the past Lucy and move on. You deserve to be happy and someone who will accept you for who you are. "

When they pulled back, Lucy smiled. " Thanks Erza, you too deserve to be happy. "

Erza smiled. " Thanks Lucy. "

When they finished putting on make-up, they walked out of the bathroom, when they heard a knock on the door.

" I'll get it! " Lucy said and opened the door. She smiled at the person that stood in front of her.

" Gray! " she hugged the spiky black haired boy. Gray laughed.

" Hey Lucy. How are you? "

" I'm great! " They pulled back. " What are you doing here? And how did you know I was here? "

" Aren't you happy to see me? " Gray faked hurt.

Lucy playfully punched him. " Of course I'm happy, idiot. When did you arrive? "

" Wow! So many questions. Well, 1st, I'm here on a vacation with friends, 2nd, I followed you. " When Lucy opened her mouth, he interrupted her. " And I'm not a stalker! It's just we're a few rooms away from you guys and I saw you. And 3rd, we arrived 2 hours ago and we're setting in. "

Lucy's eyes widened. " That's great! We were getting ready beacuse we're going out with another friend. Do you guys want to come, if you're not busy? We'll meet in 15 minutes. " she asked. Gray nodded.

" Sure, why not? I'll see ya later then. Bye! "

" Bye Gray! " When he walked out, Lucy closed the door.

" Lucy, who was that? " Erza asked.

" Was it your boyfriend? " she said holding a bottle of beer.

" Cana, he's not my boyfriend. And you're drunk. You won't go anywhere in that state! "

Cana pouted. " I'm not drunk! I only took a small sip. " Then she drank from her beer.

" Anyway, that was Gray, a friend of mine from town. He and his friends arrived today and I invited him to come with us. "

" The more people, the better! " Cana hiccuped.

" I think we should go. It's 04:55p.m. We have to meet Natsu at the lobby. " Levy said.

" Alright then. Let's go! " They put their shoes on and left the room, Erza locking it.

" When they arrived at the lobby, Levy and Juvia sat on the sofa, the others were standing. 2 minutes later, Natsu walked down with a small blue haired girl, Happy walking next to Natsu, and a white cat in the girl's arms.

" Hey, girls. " Natsu smiled.

" Hey Natsu. " They said.

" This here is Wendy, my little sister. " he introduced. Wendy smiled shyly and waved at them.

" Hello. "

Cana was the first one to react. She ran to Wendy and hugged her tightly. Good thing Carla jumped from her arms so she wouldn't be crushed but she was concerned of the girl. " Oh, you are the cutest girl I have ever seen in my life! " Wendy blushed madly and hugged back.

" She is simply adorable. " Juvia smiled.

" It's nice to meet you Wendy. My name is Lucy. The read-head is Erza, the one that's hugging you is Cana, the one with the bandana is Levy, and this is Juvia. " she smiled. When Cana pulled away, Wendy looked at her. Natsu was right, she was beautiful. And she has a beautiful smile. Wendy is starting to like Lucy.

" It's nice to meet all of you too. " They smiled.

" So, are we going? " Natsu asked.

" Not yet. We have to wait for a few more friends. " She looked up. " There they are! "

When they looked up, they saw Gray walking down with a spiky balck haired guy with a lot of piercings, a guy with spiky orange hair, two girls with white hair, the one short, the other long and a big and muscular guy with spiky white hair.

Juvia's eyes widened and a deep blush appeared on her cheeks when her eyes landed on Gray.

" Hey, guys. Sorry we're lat- " his eyes widened when he looked at the person that was a few feet away from him. he had the same reaction.

At first, Juvia thought he was looking at her, did she had something on her hair or face? Did she looked alright? But then she noticed he was looking at the pink haired teen stsnding in front of her.

Slowly, their eyebrows narrowed and they rudely pointed at each other. " YOU?! "
