Fire's Desire

Chapter 1

The members of Fairy Tail found themselves once again facing a formidable opponent, causing them all to hide inside the guild hall. They all laid spread out across the floor and tables trying to keep away from the chaos the outside threaten to bring inside as they come up with ideas how they can defeat the once ally.

It's noon and the sun was beating down on the town relentlessly, even with the ac cranked up everyone could still feel the heat.

"Ahhh," Gray stood up suddenly one foot on the table "why is it so damn hot!" he yelled pushing out more of his magic to make it cooler inside the guild for him and his friends. For once Gray only wearing is briefs underwear isn't so weird anymore because most of the guild was down to their underwear as well, sipping on iced lemonade Mira handed out.

"You yelling isn't helping!" Gajeel yelled at the ice make wizard.

"I know." Gray said in defeat as he sank back down into his chair next to Juvia.

"Natsu, and Lucy still haven't showed up yet?" Erza asked as she looked around for her teammates.

"Not yet. I'm sure they will show up later." Mira replied giving her another cup of lemonade.

"He's probably raiding her fridge again while she's sleeping." Gray laughed.

"Or Lucy thinking smart and staying inside until the sun goes down." Levy suggested

"Or maybe they finally confessed their feelings for each other and their making out in her apartment as we speak." Cana said laughing as she drank from her barrel of alcohol, causing the most of the guild to laugh as well.

"Yea right, like that would ever happen." Gray said gaining the rest of the guild to laugh harder.

"I don't know about that Gray. The war was hard on everyone especially Natsu. He probably came to the realization that he's not getting any younger and they should settle down." Master Makarov suggested taking a sip from his drink. A moment of silence fell over the room as they all reflect on what happened in the battle against Alvarez, Zeref, and Acnologia two months ago.

"Gee hee" then that moment was gone when Gajeel burst into laughter followed by everyone else "Yea right."

"That sounds exactly how our night went last week. Right Darling!" Juvia said as she threw her arms around Gray's neck practically sitting in his lap while he threw a arm over her shoulder.

Meanwhile

Slightly behind the guild hall was Natsu wearing nothing but black swim shorts, that had flames rising up from the bottom, and his white scaly scarf around his neck. Even though the heat threatened to smack the smile off his face as he stood tall bouncing on the balls of his feet preparing to dash into the pool, with Happy latch onto the top of his head.

"Ready buddy!" the dragon slayer said smiling up at the blue cat not waiting for an answer as he took off in a half jog, half sprint towards the Fairy Tail pool in anticipation.

"Aye sir!" not caring if the dragon slayer didn't wait for his reply.

"Cannon Ball!" Natsu yelled as he jumped into the water causing it to splash off the sides in waves onto Lucy, making her jump to her feet.
