Third Person POV
   

    After hours of Natsu complaining and vomiting, the girls complaining about the heat, and Gray using his ice to cool himself off, the teams finally arrived to Tenrou Island. "Listen up!" Makarov yelled, getting all the teenagers attention. "This year will be similar to last year. Nothing will change much, other than the last trial." "But master—" Levy interrupted, "We didn't even get to the final trial last year. We won't be ready for anything..." . "That's why you were supposed to train. I hope you trained hard, cause the last trial is going to be very difficult." Everyone had worried expressions on their face as Makarov talked. "Now, let me explain the first trial. There is smoke coming from the front face of the Island. You will need to go there first. After, there will be multiple cavern openings. There are enough for each team. One room has nothing in it. If you get that route, you'll be lucky and won't have to do anything. Three different rooms have the three different S-class wizards. Erza, Mirajane, and Gildarts." Everyone nervously looked at there teammate. Even if they did this last year, it was still nerve racking. "The last two rooms are called 'combat rooms'. Two teams will have to battle each other, and only one will make it out. Now, GO!!!" Makarov yelled.

  All the teams split up. Some swam, some used magic to help. "Come on! We have to go so we don't get the S-class room!" Gray yelled as he formed ice on the water to quickly get across. He jumped down on the ice and waited for Natsu. Once Natsu jumped down onto the ice, he immediately slipped and fell over with a yelp. Gray sighed out of frustration as he picked Natsu up bridal style. "Stupid flamebrain! Learn to have balance!" The ice mage yelled as he ran to the island with a slightly flustered Natsu in his arms.
 
    After a couple minuets of running, the two finally arrived at the island. Gray dropped Natsu on the ground as he looked at the room openings. "Looks like three of them are already taken. Come on Natsu, let's go!" Gray said as he looked back at the pink haired teen. Natsu got up, brushing off the fact that Gray called him by his name instead of some insult. Natsu ran over to Gray as the two ran into a room. As they looked around, they noticed...nothing. The room seemed normal, as if there was no fight to be expected. "Guess we got lucky..." Gray said to himself as the two continued on.

   Natsu groaned in frustration. "Dang it!!! I wanted to fight someone!" He complained as he crossed his arms. "Really Natsu? You would rather us take a risk to lose?!" The ice mage yelled at him. Natsu shrugged, "Kinda. I mean, I wanted some excitement." "You're such a selfish idiot!" Gray yelled as there foreheads immediately pushed together. "Oi! What did you call me, you perverted ice-bastard?!" Natsu yelled back. "A selfish idiot, you flame-bitch!!!" The two growled and got into a fighting stance. Natsu sent fire dragon attacks at Gray, whilst Gray sent Ice make attacks at Natsu. The two yelled insults at each other. It seemed like hours as the two went on, sending attacks and insults back and forth. Suddenly, the insults became much more stronger and personal.

  "Why do you even try to become S-class?!" Gray yelled as he sent an Ice make: Lance attack at Natsu. "So I can find Igneel! At least I have a parent left!" Natsu yelled as he sent a fire dragon talon attack at the offended Ice mage. "Oh yeah?! Well at least I have family members left!" Gray yelled. "Hey! I have Ignee—" Natsu was soon interrupted by Gray, "That's not true! He could be dead! Besides, he probably doesn't love you! He left you as a kid for mavis' sake!"

   The two froze in place, Gray covering his mouth and Natsu frozen with tears in his eyes. "O-Oh god Natsu, I'm sorry, I didn't—" "You...You bastard..." Natsu quietly said as the tears finally fell. Without another word, the pinkette walked out of the room, wiping the tears away. Gray, who was feeling extremely guilty, soon followed behind. They were the last team out, allowing everyone to stare at them as the other teams wondered what the hell happened....

  If only they all knew who was there to experience and watch the fight happen....

Hey guys, sorry for the slow update! I just got back from Colorado! I hope you enjoyed!

IMPORTANT!!!;
Zeref will be making a big appearance in this book, but he will be OOC (out of character). He won't be like how he is in the series. He will be more nice and brother like just for the sake of the book. Also, I'll be going to Lubbock with my dad and mom next week, so I don't know if I'll update next week. I'll try to update this week again! Hopefully I can...
