The next morning, Lucy was surprised to find herself in her room. She had no recollection of how she ended up in the bed. Then she remembered the night chat with Natsu. She blushed at that thought.

She brushed aside her thoughts and got up to get ready.

-x-

Natsu was still in bed, snoring loudly. His roommates were all up and had completed their morning chores.

"Oye! Somebody wake this salamander" said Gajeel, out of annoyance.

"This flame brain" muttered Gray as he moved towards Natsu's bed to wake him up.

"Wake up you freaking idiot" yelled Gray, pulling Natsu's bedsheets, which made the salmon haired teen to fall face flat on the ground.

Gajeel, Sting and Rogue were very well aware of what was going to happen.

Natsu hissed in pain, as he got up to throw a punch on Gray.

As if on cue, the door threw open and fierce red head was standing behind the door. Her hands on her hips.

"If you guys are up already, then why not come downstairs? It's breakfast time, so hurry up" with that said, Erza shut the door and disappeared.

Gray was so lost in thoughts that he didn't see the pillow that Natsu threw on him. He threw the pillow so hard, that Gray lost his balance and fell down, but luckily the bed was right behind him so he was not hurt much.

Gajeel and the rest took a step back cause they knew that a war is gonna began, a war with pillows. Though it wasn't a dangerous one, but if Natsu and Gray are involved in it then it's better if you back off, if you don't wish to be hospitalized.

Gray grabbed the pillow closest to him and threw it at Natsu. Natsu caught the pillow and smirked at his rival slash friend. He threw back the pillow at Gray, but Gray instead of catching it he dorged it.

Unknown to the two, the red head once again came to their room to announce something that she forgot to mention. The pillow (that Natsu threw) hit square on her face making everyone in the room to go white.

The pillow slipped off her face, to reveal a tick on her forehead. Erza looked like a time bomb, that was ready to explode.

"QUITE YOUR CHILDISH GAMES AND COME DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW!" yelled Erza, frightening the boys. They all yelled in a chorus 'Yes maam'.

What a day! They had to get up early, so that they won't be late for their trip but now they had to wait for a while till the bus people don't fix the punctured wheel.

Lucy and gang decided to spend some time on the beach, which was at a walkable distance from the Inn they are staying at.

When they reached the beach, they were surprised to see Natsu and the rest on the beach, playing what seemed like stone, paper, scissor.

"Hi guys, what's up?" chirped Levy as she approached closer to them.

"Yo!" greeted Natsu back, "We are deciding teams for a volleyball match. Care to join?"

"Sounds great! What do you think guys?" asked Levy.

"I don't mind" replied Erza, brimming with her fighting spirit.

"Juvia would love to!" replied Juvia, trying to avoid making eye contact with Gray.

Lucy and Yukino agreed too.

"Alright! How about having a match as girls v/s boys?" asked Levy, as she supported her weight on one leg.

"You sure about that shrimp?" asked Gajeel, with his arms folded.

"We've got Erza" grinned Levy back and all the boys shut their mouth, as if Levy's that one reason cannot be opposed.

Well if one had Erza in their team for any work, then losing is totally impossible. That's the great Erza Scarlet for you guys!

They divided themselves in two teams. Girls vs Boys. Lucy, Levy, Erza, Juvia and Yukino in one team. Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, Sting and Rogue in the other team. The game started.

Erza and Natsu were the only ones playing fiercefully, while the others just sweat dropped at the two. They were so lost in their game, that they lost the track of time.

It was half past 1 when they reached the inn. They were surprised to find that the buses that should have been waiting near the gates were not there.

They hurried to their respective rooms, changed from their swimsuits/trunks and made their way to the reception desk.

When they inquired about their bus, the reception lady replied, "The bus long left for the trip"

They all comically froze in their place. There goes their precious trip. The bus left and it won't return till 8 or 9.

After thinking for a long time they decided to walk around Crocus by themselves. As they explored the city, they saw people wearing yukata and others setting up stalls. When they enquired they came to know that they are having a festival today. They decided to have a look at it.

It was so crowded they all got separated. Somehow, as if fate played its role, they all ended up in pairs, excluding Sting.

Natsu with Lucy, Gray with Juvia, Gajeel with Levy, Rogue with Yukino and Sting with Erza.

How would their festival/trip turn out?

How was it? Let me know your thought with your sweet review. Bye!
