Natsu VS. Sting

Chapter 6

~Gildarts' class~

"Ah Lucy, Natsu. How nice of you two brats to finally show up." Gildarts said to the two who recently entered his classroom. "I've noticed that the two of you are always late or absent not only in my class but also the rest. The two of you...to the principal's office now before I feed you to the Flame Beast Drone!" The two of them went to the principal's office immediately. They saw Makarov waiting for them. The two of them sat down.

"I heard that you two were late again. Lucy, please don't be late to class again and you Natsu, I'm telling your parents about this. I heard that they have arrived from their three day business trip. Alright you brats can go now."

Natsu grumbled as Lucy closed the door of the principal's office. "Well that went well." Lucy said as the two of them walked to class. She looked at Natsu's grumbling face and sighed. "Just tell them the truth, about what happened. They'll understand." Natsu looked at Lucy. "Fine." They stopped walking when they heard the bell ring. They turned and walked the other way heading to their second class in the afternoon. Lucy stopped and looked at Natsu. Natsu saw Lucy staring at him. "What are you staring at me for Luce?" Lucy simply pointed to Lisanna who was getting some books in her locker. Natsu knew what Lucy meant so he went to Lisanna.

"Uhm Lisanna, I'm sorry for ignoring you these past few months. I forgive you. I hope you can forgive me for acting such a jerk to you. I just hope you know, that we can be friends again." Lisanna wiped her joyful tears and smiled at Natsu, holding out her hand to him. "Friends." Natsu smiled and shook her hand. "Friends."

~At Fairy Tail High School Grounds after class~

"Man, it sure feels nice to be friends with Lisanna again and it's all because of your words of wisdom. Thanks Luce. You're wise when you want to be. Maybe you should be a... what was that called again? Ah, philosopher. Yep." Lucy looked up from her book and stared at Natsu. Natsu looked at her with a questioning look that says 'What?' "That was a glare in my case." Lucy told him. "Why am I stuck with you again?" Natsu grinned before he answered Lucy's question. "Well Levy is with metal head, Erza and Jellal are probably at the strawberry cake shop, Mira and Lisanna went home early, Cana is with her boyfriend, she has plenty of boyfriends and stripper is with Juvia." Lucy sighed and closed her book. "That was a rhetorical question Natsu. Anyway, I have to go. I still need to cook food for the children at the orphanage." Lucy said as she stood up. Natsu looked at her. "Oh okay. See ya tomorrow Luce." Natsu said a little bit sad that she was going home. "Remember don't lie to your parents. Tell them the truth." Natsu smiled at Lucy. "Okay." Lucy turned around and walked going home. When she was out of sight Natsu decided to go home as well.

~Dragneel mansion~

"Natsu! I heard from principal Makarov that you were late to class..again. Explain yourself mister." Grandeeney crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at her son. Igneel looked at Natsu expecting for an answer as well. Natsu listened to what Lucy said and told them what happened. Grandeeney and Igneel were surprised that Natsu told the truth. Igneel smirked at his son. "So, who is this Lucy? She must be really special. I know that you don't listen to someone that much since you're stubborn as an ox. Is she your new girlfriend?" Natsu glared at his father. "She is just my friend, old man and I'm not stubborn." Grandeeney smiled at Natsu. "All right Natsu, since you told the truth we're letting you off easy but next time you're late, I will personally deal with you." She said with a very scary look. Natsu gulped and nodded. "Well I'm starving. Race you to the table old man." At that Natsu and Igneel ran to the dining room leaving a trail of dust. Grandeeney giggled and shook her head at Natsu and Igneel's silliness as she followed them.

~Next Day~

"Listen up you brats! Today, we're gonna have a tournament as a test to see if you've learned anything. What are you waiting for? You brats, go to the stadium!" Everyone cheered and ran off to the stadium. It has been a while since Gildarts held a tournament and everyone especially the boys were very pumped up to fight each other.
