"C'mon, Lucy, hurry and get off the bus!" Natsu whined as he impatiently rocked back and forth on his heels, glancing between the bus and the museum as everybody stepped out onto the sidewalk.
Every year the fifth graders went on a field trip a month before school ended, both classrooms voting for a wide range of different places, adding up all forty-three votes and going to the most popular.
This year's trip; the Magnolia Museum.
Every child radiated excitement, jumping up the steps to the large building as the teachers led the way.
The students looked around in awe as they entered, pointing around at the nearby exhibits and reveling at the fossils hanging down from the extremely tall ceiling.
"That's a dragon!" Natsu announced to his friends, pointing at a large winged skeleton that stood tall on the floor.
Erza examined the creature while Lucy laughed, speaking when she remembered the real name. "Actually, that's a dinosaur, a pterodactyl, to be exact."
Natsu lowered his arm, frowning as he looked for more dragon like dinosaurs. "Well, what about that one?" He asked after a moment, walking over to a nearby exhibit that was surrounded by their classmates.
"Tyrannosaurus rex."
"This one!"
"Velociraptor."
"Then I guess this one is a dragon?"
"That's a Triceratops!" Erza said irritably as she followed Natsu, relaying the dinosaur names every time he claimed that something was a dragon.
"Wow, you sure know a lot about dinosaurs, Erza!" Levy said as she caught up, Lucy, Gray, and the rest of team Shadowgear following behind.
Erza looked confused for a moment, staring at all of her nodding friends. "What do you mean? Every dinosaur has a sign next to it with the name." She spoke quickly, helping the others to realize that knowing the names really wasn't very hard.
"Holy- is that a dinosaur creator?!" Natsu yelled, taking off towards a large table covered in small touch screens, dinosaur toys surrounding each one, all facing towards a very large screen that covered the entire wall, different dinosaur mutations appearing with the name that would be given for the combination of different parts.
Natsu tapped the screen in front of him quickly, swiping through each limb carelessly to find one that looked cool.
"Done!" He announced after about a minute, practically slamming his fist down onto the "reveal on big screen" button.
Everyone stared up at the creation, squinting slightly to try and read the long and complicated name.
"What the hell is that?!" Gray asked angrily after finally giving up, a few kids gasping at his choice of language.
"Well, freezer brain, if you read the screen, you'd see that it's a Tyrannodactyl Raptor!" Natsu shot back, amazing his classmates with how easily he recited the name.
"Alright, kids, let's head over to the exhibit for the Ice Age!" The teacher said nervously, knowing that if he didn't act fast enough a fight would begin.
The students walked in a some what straight line to the next exhibit, whispering fearfully to each other as a dangerous aura radiated off of Erza, who was walking angrily between Natsu and Gray.
Once the students were allowed to roam around the room freely, almost all of them flocked to a large statue of some odd water creature, Gray buzzing with excitement at the very front.
"This is so cool, what is it!?" He asked, frantically searching for the sign that explained what the monster was.
"It says here it's a Pli-"
"It's a WATER DRAGON!" Natsu yelled, pushing through the crowd of students to get up front, earning him a smack on the back of his head from Erza.
"How'd you manage to get into so much trouble on a field trip?!" Zeref asked, taking the paper asking for a parent teacher conference from Natsu's hands.
Natsu began to reach for the note, pouting when Zeref held it above his head, just barely too high for Natsu to reach. "I dunno," Natsu spoke, pulling gently at his scarf as he stared at the ground. "I was just calling stuff dragons, not like I did anything wrong…"
Zeref sighed, giving the paper back by carelessly placing it on top of Natsu's head. "Igneel should be home in about ten minutes, find a better way to explain your story and he'll argue with the teacher enough that you won't get in more trouble." He said with false boredom, quickly walking up the stairs to try and hide his smile.
