Gray's Pov:

I woke up the next morning for two reasons. One I smelled food. Two, Natsu started jumping on the bed like a little kid. "Morning Sleepyhead!" "Morning Natsu. What did you make for breakfast?" Yes, Natsu knows how to cook. It's amazing, you would think someone who can be so clueless at times wouldn't know how to cook. "I made food. So come on! Get your butt outta bed and come eat!" I sweat dropped as he ran out our room into the kitchen.

I joined him in the kitchen and saw pancakes with fruit on them. There was also bacon and orange juice on the table. I gave him a kiss on the forehead before thanking him for the meal. We ate breakfast rather quick. We went upstairs to get changed into our normal clothes before walking to the guild.

When we got there, Natsu did the only logical thing and kicked open the door. When we walked through the doors, we realized it was completely dark after the door shut. We walked into the middle of the guild hall, before the lights turned on. The entire guild was standing around and yelling,  "CONGRATS YOU TWO!" We smiled and thanked them as we made our way to the bar.

 As we walked, we noticed balloons and streamers around the place. There was also a rater large banner that said 'Congratulations!' Happy flew onto Natsu's head and he said, "Congrats Natsu! You too Gray." Natsu asked Happy, "How ya been? I'm sorry I didn't come home last night." "I was fine! I even had a huuuuuge fish for dinner!" "That's good little buddy! I think I'm gonna stay at Gray's tonight, do you want to go with Lisanna tonight?" "Aye! I get a lot of fish at her house!"

We saw Gramps and Cana sitting at the bar and arguing about something. We realized it was about who could drink the most. Natsu grinned and said, "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! WHO WANTS TO SEE GRAMPS AND CANA HAVE A DRINKING CONTEST!?" There was a chorus of cheers from everyone. Gildarts stepped up and said, "I will not watch my daughter have a drinking contest. I want in too!" We laughed a little before I asked, "Anyone else want to join in?" Macao, Bixslow, and Elfman stepped up and took a seat at the bar.

Mira passed out multiple barrels of beer and said, "On the count of three, start. One. Two. Three. GO!" The five were chugging beer like their life depended on it. Elfman was out after his first 2 1/2 barrels. Bixslow and Macao joined him after barrel number 3 1/2. Gildarts, Cana, and the old man were still going. Gramps went joined the other three after his 6th barrel. Cana and Gildarts were on their 9th barrel when Gildarts fell of his bar stool. Mira the said, "Cana is the winner! And... is still... going... Ok! Everyone get a drink and lets party!"

We were partying until 12:00 pm. Mind you we started early yesterday morning. Everyone had eventually gotten home, even though most of us were drunk. Natsu and I changed out of our clothes and went to bed. Natsu came back over to my house. 

Natsu's Pov:

I woke up the next morning to a beautiful sight. Gray was changing into his clothes, and he currently only had his boxers on! I was in heaven. Every time he moved, his muscled flexed and I just kept staring. I stopped staring and started blushing when Gray said, "Like what you see?" He grinned and started posing. I threw a pillow at him and said, "Damn you Ice Princess! You know I do..." He chuckled before walking over towards the bed and giving me a kiss. 

I got out of bed after the kiss and started changing. I looked over at Gray and he was staring at me like I was at him only moments ago. I smiled at him and said, "See something you like?" His reaction was pretty much the same as mine.

We decided to eat at the guild since we wanted Mira's cooking. It's the best! Especially her fire chicken and other fire related things. Fire... so tasty.

Gray and I headed off towards the guild a few minutes after getting dressed. On our way there, a small girl bumped into me. She fell down and I saw she was crying. Then I heard someone calling, "Wendy!" I looked up and saw a white cat flying towards us. Wait... flying? She's like Happy! 

The little girl looked up and said, "I'm so sorry sir. I didn't mean to bump into you!" I held out my hand and gave her a big smile. "No worries.My name's Natsu, and this is Gray. Are you ok?" She took my hand and wiped her tears before saying, "Yes, I'm fine. My name's Wendy. And this is Carla." Gray then asked her, "Why are you running through Magnolia crying?" Wendy looked down and said, "My I lost my guild. Apparently the whole time they were ghosts, and they disappeared today. I kinda got lost here and then bumped into you guys." Gray then asked, "What kind of magic do you use? And do you want to come with us and join our guild? I know you just lost your guild and all, but we would be glad to have you join." She smiled and said, "I'm a Sky Dragon Slayer. And I'd like to join your guild! Thank you two so much!" 

Her cat then said, "Wendy! You shouldn't just join people and join their guild after you just met them! They could be bad people for all we know!" Gray and I laughed before I said, "We aren't bad people. We're Fairy Tail wizards. Last time I checked we were all a bunch of nice people who treat each other like family." The young girl then said, "See Carla. Nothing bad is going to happen to us if we join them." "Alright. But what magic do you two use?" I said, "I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer. And Stripper is an Ice Make Mage." "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A STRIPPER!?" "Look down princess. He saw he wan't wearing his clothes and ran around trying to find them. 

I looked back to Wendy and Carla and said, "Come on so you can join Fairy Tail! And him stripping is normal... you'll get used to it..."

The four of us got to the Guild Hall and Gray opened the door this time. Something about me not breaking it down today. We walked to the bar with Wendy and Carla in tow. We saw Mira and she said, "Hello boys! What can I get you? And who are the two girls behind you?" Gray said, "The girl is Wendy and her cat is Carla." I said, "They want to join the guild. And I'll have your fire chicken and waffles... fire... so yummy." Gray bopped me on the head before asking where Gramps was. "He is in his office right now. And I'll have your food out in a few minutes Natsu."

The four of us went up to Gramps' office and this time, I kicked the door open. The tiny old wizard yelled, "What do you brats want?! And don't scare me again!" I laughed and said, "Wendy and Carla here want to join the guild. Wendy is a Sky Dragon Slayer and Carla is her cat." Gramps smiled and said, "Well why didn't you brats say so?!" He got the stamp. Wendy's was blue and on her arm. Carla's was pink and on her back.

Our tiny master then said, "Welcome to the guild brats!" The five of us then went down stairs? Master got on stage and yelled, "LISTEN UP BRATS! The Grand Magic Games are in three months. and I have the teams who will be competing." Simultaneously, Gray and I yelled, "What the hell is that!?" Erza said, "It is a competition for wizard guilds. This will be our fourth time competing, and we plan to take our title as number on guild in Fiore back." Gray the said, "We lost the title!? Who the hell beat us?!" It was Laxus who spoke this time. "A guild called Sabertooth. They came around about a month after you guys left. Their five main members are pretty strong and always compete. And since you two were gone, we were down in strength." I said, "I see. So we just have to beat their asses and get the title back right! Then lets do it!" 

Gramps cleared his throat and said, "As I was saying, the Fairy Tail Team A will be Elfman Strauss, Lucy Heartfilia, Erza Scarlet, Gray Fullbuster, and Natsu Dragneel! Fairy Tail Tam B will be Juvia Lockser, Gajeel Redfox, Mirajane Strauss, Laxus Dreyar, and Gildarts Clive! Good luck to both teams!"

Lucy then said, "Wait, why are there two teams?" Gramps said, "The rules state we can have two teams. And I thought that some friendly guild mate competition would make it more fun." Then a sulking Juvia said, "Why wasn't I put on Gray-sama's team!" 

Gramps sighed and said, "I had to balance out the teams. So I did three S-Class mages per team. Then I put Erza, Gray, and Natsu on the same team cause they work well together." Juvia said, "That still doesn't explain why Love Rival is on Gray-sama's team." Then Gajeel said, "I think it make sense, but couldn't you have put Gray or Natsu on our team and the other person on the other team? I mean seriously, you saw what they did. They're probably the only ones who can take each other down!" Gray smirked and said, "Scared you're gonna lose Tin Can?" Gajeel glared at him before grabbing a barrel of alcohol from no where and drinking it. 

Gramps sighed once again and continued, "We are going to the beach for most of the three months to train! So everyone pack up and meet at the train station at noon! Oh, and by the way, we have two new guild members. Wendy Marvel, a Sky Dragon Slayer, and her cat, Carla." Cana said, "Wait, another dragon slayer? That's four in this guild. That's also two more than Sabertooth! Ha! Beat that assholes!" 

I asked, "They have dragon slayers? Who?" Cana answered, "Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney. The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth. They're pretty strong, definitely not slouches, but you guys could beat them without magic most likely." Gray said, "Ok. So kinda a threat. We'll still beat 'em. We're going to be number one again! Who's with me?" A chorus a 'Yeah' could be heard throughout the guild hall. 

We headed to our respective homes so we could pack for the training trip. Gray and I didn't really know what we were going to do while we were there, but we'd figure it out there I guess. We met back up with the rest of the people coming, and boarded the train that would take us the the beach.
