Natsu's POV

It's been three days since me and Ice Princess got together to train. I've been drifting off during the training, thinking of why Gray and I became rivals in the first place. I sighed to myself as I lay in my hammock. Today was the last day to train, and I couldn't help but feel nervous. I forgot to mention this, but I've sadly had a crush on that stupid ice princess ever since we were little. I looked over at the couch only to see HIM. Yup, Gray was sleeping at my house. We decided it would be best if he did just so he wouldn't have to walk to my house every day.

I looked out the window that was next to me. I smiled, seeing all the stars in the sky. My eyes landed on a special star, known as the wishing star. It was so bright and pretty, I couldn't help but smile even more. As time passed, I decided that I could wish on it, and only pray for it to come true... "I wish that I knew how Gray and I became rivals..." I whispered before closing my eyes and slowly falling asleep.

~Time Skip To The Next Day~

Third Person POV

It was now the day of the S-Class trials. Like always, it was insanely hot, it being in the middle of the summer. All the teams were ready to go...well, ALMOST all of them. They were all waiting for the most surprising team which was, of course, Natsu and Gray. They all sighed as they waited in the scorching sun. About 15 minutes later, a familiar voice could be heard.

"Hey guys! Sorry we're late!" Natsu said as he stopped in front of the teams, panting. "Yeah, it was all Flame brains fault. He decided to not wake up on time." Gray added, standing next to the pink haired teen. "Well, it's also your fault cause you didn't wake me up!" Natsu yelled at Gray. "I tried to, but it's impossible to wake you up! Heck, I even punched you, but you still didn't wake up!" Gray yelled back. Their foreheads pressed together as they exchanged death glares with each other. "Perverted popsicle!" "Flame-freak!"

The arguing went on for a while, the rest of the teams sighing and facepalming. The two suddenly stopped, and everyone understood why. It was, of course, Erza. "Excuse me, but I thought you guys would already be on the ship." She said sternly, causing everyone to freeze. "A-Aye, don't w-worry Erza, we'll get on it!" Natsu stuttered before running onto the boat. Everyone else did the same, not wanting to upset Erza anymore.

Not too long after, all the teams were settled on the boat. A certain fire mage was slowly making his way towards Wendy, and we all can guess why. "Heyyy Wendy," Natsu said, getting down to her height. "Before we go, you think you can use that spell to cure my motion sickness for the ride?" He asked, smiling at her. "You mean the Troia spell? Sure! You are my friend after all!" Wendy happily replied while grinning. Natsu mentally cheered, but not until Romeo appeared behind Wendy. "Wendy, you can't help him! He's our enemy in the trials! It would help us for him to be sick!" Romeo said, quickly pulling Wendy away. Natsu sighed to himself before sitting against the side of the ship. "It's gonna be a loooong ride..."

Hey guys, sorry for the chapter being a bit short. I'm also sorry if it's not that good. I rushed on it since I wanted to get SOMETHING done.
Well, buh~bye!
