Author's~P.O.V

As summer was nearing it's end and the crew had decided to go on a camping trip. One, because Erza forced them and two, because this would be last time they spend together before heading off to college. A 4 day trip, 6 people and lots of fun. Lucy was sad to leave Natsu but he had lots of work to do so he didn't mind, too much.

Time~Skip- Day One

Lucy's~P.O.V

"Juvia thinks Lucy should hurry up and finish packing, we have to be at Erza's by 7." Juvia shouted from in the living room, while I was last minute packing. I was too busy with Natsu I came home late and fell asleep and you try waking up at 4:30am because of someone banging on your door and then you remembering you needed to pack. Let's just say this was a tough morning and now if we're late then Erza will have our heads, '*Internally sweatdrops*'.

"Ok Juvia just let me grab some bathroom stuff and I'll be down in a minute!" I shouted back and rushed into my bathroom and tossed some toiletries and necessities into a small bag and ran back to my room and threw it all in my suitcase. I had trouble shutting and sitting down on top of it did the trick. Juvia and I ran out to her car and I put my suitcase in the back seat of her 2015 White Lexus IS. It was a 10 minute drive from my house to Erza's, where we were all supposed to meet because we're borrowing Jellal's Silver Dodge Ram 1500. Erza forced Jellal to give her his car for the trip since it's big enough to hold all of the supplies and 4 people. Also, Sting and Rogue were taking Sting's truck and meeting us near the camping grounds.

We pulled up outside of Erza's house around 6:50 and rushed to help her put everything in the truck. Erza was coming and going in the house hulling tents, food and other stuff and when we tried to help she yelled at us to rest and stay out of her way. By 7:12 we were packed and ready to leave, I was in the backseat with Levy and Juvia and Erza were up front, Erza driving. I had texted Natsu telling him I was leaving and that I'd see him in a couple days. Levy was napping and Juvia was ranting about how Gray doesn't pay her enough attention and never texts her when she text him. Natsu was at work but he was still messaging me every time I replied, he said work isn't as important as you are right now. 'Wait, so does that mean other times his work is more important?' 'Well he does run an empire technically'.

"Ok guys we're going to stop to get some breakfast, Sting and Rogue are meeting us there. Also when we stop I recommend you use the bathroom before we leave cause it's a 3 hour drive and I'm not stopping." Erza said and we all nodded, except Levy who was drooling, almost as much as Plue. About 20 minutes later we pulled into a small roadside diner and got out. I woke Levy and helped her fix her face, which I mean there was drool everywhere. We went inside and took a booth in the corner, a couple minutes later we saw a red truck pulling into the parking lot and we saw Sting and Rogue exit. The door chimed and they came in, Sting was bubbly and happy and Rogue looked bored and tired.

"Hey girls the party has arrived!" Sting shouted obnoxiously and everyone in the diner turned and looked this way. I sighed and looked down, embarrassed because of his rude behavior, Erza on the other hand looked like she was about to strangle Sting. Rogue greeted us politely and took a seat on one end of the booth, next to Juvia and Sting sat next to me. "Hey pretty lady how have you been, I only saw you like twice this summer. Were you purposely ignoring me, is it because of Natsu-san? He kept you all to himself, how rude." Sting clung to me and rubbed his cheek on my arm while pouting like a baby.

"Get off me Sting." I pushed his face away and removed his arms from around me, "For one you never messaged me to hang out and two, last time I checked you were to busy roaming Crocus partying." I looked at him and he smiled sheepishly and rubbed his neck.
