Wheels of Fire

Racing to the Rescue

Lucy Heartfilia had a smile on her face again as she and Edo-Natsu walked into Fairy Tail. Gray grinned to see that they had made up after such a terrible fight. Lisanna bounced up to Fireball Natsu and eagerly wanted to know how making up with Lucy went. By his flaming bright blush, anyone who was curious knew right away.

"How about a mission?" Lucy offered. "It can be one far away, since we have the car. A nice long drive would be nice," she said, blushing slightly.

Gajeel scoffed at her enamored face. "Is sex in a car really that good?"

Lucy spun at him. "I'm talking about a mission, not ... not that."

"Gihi! Sure, whatever," he said with a wily smirk. "Banging in the backseat; I've never tried it, but I'm curious now."

Levy went solid red at his words. "Wh-wh-what? Who'd want to do something like that in a car? Besides, you get motion sickness, so you couldn't drive out somewhere to do ... th-th-that."

"What are you all red about, Shrimp? I never said anything about who I'd want in the backseat with me?" Gajeel pointed out, patting Levy's head and making her puff out her cheeks in annoyance. "You're rather perverted to assume I meant you in particular, unless you secretly like the idea of sex in a car, where anyone can see you. I'm pretty jealous, ya know. Not sure I'd want anyone to see your cute tits and ass."

"Stupid Gajeel!" she yelled, giving him a slap on the arm. Levy huffed and turned away from him. "You're the perverted one for saying it in the first place."

Edo-Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Get your own car. Only Lucy and I use my backseat."

Half the guild gasped.

Cana lowered her beer barrel. "Wait, then you two did? And in the backseat of a car? Hot!"

Edo-Natsu paled as his anxiety returned in full force. "I ... I didn't say ... w-well, I did say, but I didn't mean ... although I guess I did mean it that way, but I didn't..."

"Natsu," Lucy growled in the same way she had spoken in frustration to the Dragon Slayer many times. "Shut up. Now."

"Yes, ma'am," he squeaked, leaping back from her glaring eyes.

Just then, Makarov burst out of his office. "We have an emergency," he bellowed out, and all the chatting went silent. "Wendy and Romeo are currently on a mission, but an entire army marched into their area. Wendy managed to get a message to us. Romeo is severely injured."

Macao leaped up with a horrified face at those words.

"They've taken shelter, but they can't get out. We need to evacuate them ASAP."

Lucy shouted out, "Fireball's four-wheeler could get us there the fastest, and Jet's running speed can help us to get to the kids."

"I'll come too," Levy shouted out. "If that four-wheeler runs out of fuel, I can help make more."

"Aye!" Happy shouted, flying forward. "I can airlift, and if Carla is in danger, I can rescue her." A dreamy look came into his face. "Maybe she'll thank me and accept my fish if I save her."

Makarov skeptically looked over to the Edolas boy. "We're supposed to keep Natsu Dragion safe."

"I don't care," Edo-Natsu said immediately. "Those two are still Wendy and Romeo. I can help. Please," he said, and suddenly his timid side returned. "I ... I can do this much. Driving fast is my specialty. It's the one thing in this world that I really can do to help others. Please, s-sir ... p-please let me do this much. Let me prove I can be useful to your guild."
