First of all sorry that this update took so long to get it. Finishing this chapter took longer than I thought it would.

I'd like to thank LilTimy, Hime Otaku, and Guest for giving me names that natsu and gray call each other which I used for this chapter.

Chapter 2

Natsu and Gray sat at a table together, both nursing a huge bump on their heads they had received from Erza after she had decided it was time to break up their fight.

"Owww." Natsu complained. "Did Erza really have to hit us that suddenly? I mean we didn't even get a warning."

"Geh. You two brought it down on yourselves." Gajeel said sliding into the bench across from them.

"Hey, Flame Brain." Gray took his hand away from the bump on his head where he had been using his ice magic to cool it. "Do you like Lucy?" he asked bluntly.

Natsu turned his head to stare at Gray. "I'll think about answering you after you put some clothes on, Pervert."

"What the-" Gray looked down to see he was now only dressed in his boxers. "When did that happen?" Gray said as he searched the guild for his clothes.

"Really, Salamander, do you like Bunny Girl?" Gajeel asked again once Gray had managed to find his clothes again.

Natsu looked at Gajeel like he was crazy. "Of course I like Lucy." Natsu replied

Gray and Gajeel perked up at the possibility that the dense Fire Dragon Slayer had finally realized his feelings for his blonde partner.

"Lucy's my nakama after all." Natsu finished with a big grin. Both Gray and Gajeel banged their heads down on the table at the dense boy's words.

Gajeel was the first to lift his head up from the table. "That's not the way we meant 'like', Dragneel."

Huh, it's not? Then what do you mean?" Natsu asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Forget it, Gajeel." Gray said also lifting his head. "The Walking Flamethrower is too dense to understand this concept.

"What'd you say, Popsicle!" Natsu yelled, standing up in his seat, fists flaming.

"You heard me, Fire Breath!" Gray yelled back, also standing up as well his Ice Make magic surrounding his fists.

"Natsu!" "Gray!" Erza's stern voice called out from the bar, causing the two boys to immediately freeze. "Are you two fighting again?"

"No. Not at all, Erza." Both boys responded.

"We're just having a friendly chat. Right, Natsu?" Gray said hoping to avoid Erza's wrath.

"Aye sir!" Natsu quickly responded.

Erza nodded and turned her attention back to her strawberry cake and both boys sat back down in their seats.

"Really, you would think you two idiots would learn not to fight when Erza's around."

Natsu and Gray turned to see who had spoken and saw that it was Carla, who had flown over to their table with Happy and Pantherlily.

Natsu, I had a vision of you and Lucy." Carla said.

"What? Lucy! Was she in trouble?" Natsu asked, starting to panic slightly.

"No. It was nothing like that. It was just you and Lucy in her apartment. Alone." Carla said trying to get her point across.

"I wonder what that means." Natsu said. "Well let me know if anything else shows up, Carla."

Carla could feel a headache approaching from dealing with the dense Dragon Slayer. "Idiot." She muttered under her breath. "Well I'm going to go talk to the girls now before you boys start rubbing off on me." Carla said as she flew off towards the bar. Maybe she would have better luck telling Lucy the vision.

"Carla, wait for me!" Happy called as he flew off after the white Exceed.

"So what are we talking about?" Lily asked as he sat down by Gajeel.

"We were talking about Dragneel and Bunny Girl." Gajeel answered.

"Confessing your feelings is Man!" Elfman exclaimed suddenly joining their conversation.

"Oh, does that mean you're gonna confess to Evergreen, Elfman?" Natsu asked.

"W-what?" Elfman exclaimed, his face turning slightly red. "Asking that question is not Manly!"

"Oh well I just overheard Bixlow and Fried say something about that yesterday so I thought that's what you were talking about."

"They did?" Elfman suddenly turned around and stalked up to where the two male members of the Raijinshu sat with Laxus and Evergreen.

"Fried!" "Bixlow!" He yelled. "Come and fight me like a Man!"

"Elfman! What are you talking about?" Evergreen exclaimed. "Stop this nonsense!"

"Geez, the Flaming Idiot can see that relationship, but he can't see the one right in front of him." Gray muttered.

"What'd you call me, Ice Princess?" Natsu exclaimed.

"I called you an idiot, Flame Breath!" Gray retorted. Natsu and Gray butted heads together as they argued.

"You do remember that Erza is sitting not ten feet away from here, right?" Lily interjected.

Both boys shivered at the mention of Erza and immediately calmed down before she noticed them fighting again.

"Well, I've gotta get going." Gajeel said standing up. "I've got a mission to do with the shrimp and her two dogs. Let's go Lily."

Lily flew after Gajeel as he approached the bar and spoke to Levy. Levy nodded at what Gajeel said, blushing slightly as the other girls laughed quietly. Gajeel and Levy with Lily behind then walked over to the request board where Jet and Droy were. They started protesting when they saw Gajeel with Levy but were instantly silenced by a glare from the Iron Dragon Slayer. Levy quickly picked a request from the board and showed it to Mira before she left the guild with Gajeel. Jet and Droy followed behind depressed that Gajeel was coming with them.

"Natsu! Gray!" Asuka yelled, running into the guild. She ran up to their table and hugged first Natsu then Gray.

"Hey there, Asuka." Natsu replied as he patted the young girl's head.

"Asuka, don't rush ahead like that!" Alzack said as he entered the guild and came up behind his daughter.

"Sorry, Daddy." Asuka replied. "I just wanted to see everybody."

"It's okay. Just try not to do that again." Alzack said. He sat down at the table across from Natsu and Gray and Asuka jumped up to sit beside her father. "You know, Natsu," Alzack said in a more serious tone. "It took Tenrou Island disappearing along with everyone on it for me and Bisca to realize that the time you have with your loved ones is short and you shouldn't waste that time. That's when we got together. You shouldn't wait to reveal your feelings for someone because they could be gone before you know it." Alzack finished with a meaningful glace toward the bar where Lucy sat with the other girls.

Alzack then left, following after Asuka as she rushed off to another part of the guild to meet someone else. Unknowingly to him the words he had said to Natsu had had an impact on Gray.

"You know, Flame Brain, I think Alzack has a point." Gray said as he got up from the table and walked over to the bar where Juvia was sitting next to Erza.

"Hey Juvia," Gray said. "I was thinking about going out to get something to eat. You wanna come with me?"

Juvia felt her face heat up and knew her face was probably completely red as she answered Gray. "J-Juvia would love to, Gray-sama!" She replied somehow managing to not faint.

"Good." Gray said with a small smile. "Then that's go." He grabbed Juvia's wrist and pulled her out the guild's doors with him.

The entire guild stared at the doors they had left through in silence, shocked by the scene they had just witnessed. Mira felt like squealing in joy as one of her couple pairings finally hooked up. It looks like she could cross Gray and Juvia off her list.

"Good for him." Erza said, finally breaking the awkward silence.

After that the guild returned to its usual lively behavior, with some discussion about the new romance between the Ice mage and the Water mage.

"About time, Popsicle." Natsu muttered to himself.

Well there's the completed second chapter. I am working on a third chapter and I will post it as soon as I complete it.
