A Lost Boy

Chapter 6

Juvia went over to the two beds that still had children sleeping in them.

"Natsu! Romeo! Wake up!" She called as she tried to shake her brothers awake.

"Huh? Is it morning already?" Romeo yawned.

"I didn't do it!" Natsu said waking up. "Whatever it is! I didn't do it I swear!"

"No one's in trouble Natsu. We have a guest." Juvia explained.

Natsu and Romeo sat up looked at Gray who was standing across from them.

"Who's the kid?" Natsu asked. "And why isn't he wearing a shirt?"

"His name is Gray and he's going to teach us how to fly." His sister answered.

"How to what?" Natsu said, not sure if he heard her correctly.

"Fly."

Both boys looked at Gray skeptically.

"Okay buddy what kind of scam are you trying to pull here?" Natsu asked.

"Excuse me?" Gray said.

"Whatever it is you're up to, we're not falling for it so beat it."

"Natsu!" Juvia scolded at how rude her brother was being.

"Hold on pink hair, are you saying that I can't fly?" Gray asked.

"First of all my hair is not pink. It's salmon and yes that's exactly what I'm saying. You can't fly."

"For your information I can fly."

"Yeah right."

"Are you calling me a liar?"

"If the shoe fits wear it."

"You take that back!"

"Why don't you make me?!"

"Uh-oh." Juvia said upon realizing where this was going.

Gray tackled Natsu and the two boys started wrestling on the floor. Despite being two years apart in age, they were equals in size and strength so it looked like there wouldn't be a winner in this fight.

"Take it back you big mouthed runt!" Gray demanded.

"Never you lying pervert!" Natsu retorted.

"Natsu you don't even know what a pervert is." Juvia said.

"I know that he is one!"

"Shut up creep!" Gray said twisting Natsu's arm.

"Ow! Get off me jerk!" Natsu said before biting his hand.

"Boys please." Juvia said trying to keep the please.

"Hey Juvia who do you think will win?" Romeo asked. "My money is on the guy with the funny leaf pants."

"Romeo you don't have any money."

"Well if I did it would be on him."

"Romeo!" Natsu cried.

"Sorry Natsu but he looks way more experienced than you do."

"Alright that's enough." Juvia said getting between the two boys. "Honestly Natsu why must you always try to pick a fight?"

"I just don't like liars."

"But he's not lying. He really can fly." She said. "Show them Gray."

To prove his point, Gray started to fly off the floor and toward the ceiling. Natsu and Romeo's jaws dropped in astonishment which earned a smirk of victory from Gray.
