DAY THREE
--------------------
*Natsu Dragneel's POV*

I'm all nice and cozy in my tent, snugged up my blankets. Happy's next to me, and there's this thing up against my back. I have no idea what it is. It starts moving and struggling. I open my eyes slighly to see a tall figure standing over me in the light of the early morning.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL GET OUT OF MY TENT!!"
What?! Lucy?! I'm not in her tent! I sit up and rub my eyes. Sure enough, I had a bright pink comforter wrapped around my bare chest.
"Morning Lucy." I yawn. She does not look happy. Her hair was all messed up and she had a pair of earphones around her neck.
"GET OUT!" She stammers. Happy perks up from the other side of the blanket.
"Geez Lucy quiet down! We're trying to sleep. You're going to wake up the whole guild!!"
Lucy kicks him out the door of the tent.
"Natsu leave." She demands. "AND PUT ON A SHIRT FOR MAVIS'S SAKE!"
"I'm going, I'm going. Why do you have to be so mean?" I grumble.
"You wouldn't like it if I stomped into your tent and crashed there would you?! Lucy yells.
"I wouldn't care!" I yell back.
"Hey Flame Brain quit yelling!! Some people are trying to sleep!!" Gay yells from a couple tents away.
"Shut it Snowflake!!" I yell back.
I get a final push out of the tent from Lucy. Did she have to be so mean about it?! I trudge the 10 feet away over to my tent. Happy had already managed to crawl back under the blankets. I sit in the middle of the tent. There was no point going back to sleep anyway, Erza would be up any moment to scream at us. I wonder what 'fun activity' Mira has planned today. I swear if that woman puts me in any type of moving vehicle, it'll be the end of her.
"TIME TO GET UP!!" Erza screams from outside.
"UGHHH!" I hear Lucy snarl next door. She must be really mad. I shrug and shuffle through my duffle bag and grab a dark red t-shirt. As I put it on, I notice that my scarf isn't around my neck.
"Must've left it in Lucy's tent." I say to myself. I unzip the door and step back outside. It was a nice morning, the sun was out, it was warm, there was a breeze, it'll be a good day. I stretch out my back and yawn. I could hear some agitated rustling coming from Lucy's tent.
"Hey are you okay in there?" I ask.
The rustling stops.
"Don't come in!!! I'm getting dressed!!" She yells.
I take a couple steps backward, away from the tent.
"Uh, I think I left my scarf in there. You think you could give it to me?" I ask.
"Yeah give me a sec." She says.
The zipper for the door rattles and opens a bit, and my scarf was shoved out the door.
"Here." She says. I step forward and grab the end of it.
"Thanks." I say. I pull it from the opening and Lucy must've tripped over something, because the door to her tent ripped open the rest of the way and Lucy crashed right into me, sending us both to the ground.
"Ow! Lucy what the heck!!" I groan. I tilt my head up to see Lucy on top of me, her hair thrown into a bun, wearing a bright pink long sleeved shirt pushed up at the elbows, brown shorts, and black boots- well make that boot. The other was a couple feet next to me. She must've lost her balance wile trying to get the other one on. She had her knees on the ground by my waist and her hands a couple inches away from the sides of my head. She was staring down at me.

Her face was completely red.

"I-erm.. um.. I-I'm.." She stutters. I see that she's got some of that weird eye makeup smeared on her face. Without saying anything, I lift my left hand up and cup her cheek, using my thumb to wipe away the makeup.
"Your makeup smeared." I say. Pressing my thumb down, the rest of it rubs off. "There." I say.

Mirajane sprints over and helps to untangle me from Lucy. Mira's smiling like she just murderd someone. Lucy on the other hand was speechless, her face 15 shades of red and her hand over her mouth.
"I-... Um... Er..." She stutters.
Mira grabs her wrist and pulls her over to Levy, chanting something about 10 points Nalu.
Whatever that means.
Happy pokes his head from behind her tent and giggles.
"She's in looooove." He chimes. I roll my eyes and trot over to the food cartons.
"Hey Pyro!! Leave some food for the rest of us would ya?!" Gray shouts.
"You wanna go Frostbite?!" I scream back. He throws his cup of coffee at me and rips off his shirt. I erupt some flames around my fists and charge at him,
"Hey!! Stop fighting you idiots!!" Erza yells from atop a table, slamming her armored fists on both our heads.
"What the hell Erza!!" I yell at her.
"Mirajane is going to give us the details on today's activity, so listen up!!" She orders.
"Ughh." Gray scoffs. Mira scoots in front of everyone and holds her paper up to her face.
"Okay everyone today is going to be very fun! You will be with your partners again and, we're going canoeing!!"
Gajeel, Laxus and I all shudder in a breath.
"Are you insane?!?" I shout. "I can't be in a boat!!"
"How am I going to win the damn thing if I can't even do it!" Metal Mouth barks.
"You? Winning?! Ha!! Not happening!!" I shout.
"It's not a race!!" Mirajane yells, "We're just canoeing down the river! Multiple groups will be sent, and I'm making sure you three-" She gives Snowflake, Bolt Brains and I a look. "-will not be in the same groups!!" She says.
I hear a sigh of relief from Lucy, she was standing to the left of me, a couple picnic tables over.
"Finish your breakfast and follow me." Mira says. "Oh! And remember!! Stay with your partners..."
