"CANNONBALL!"

"NATSU NO!"

Natsu sprinted and leapt off of the long wooden dock and hit the water with a mammoth splash. He sent a giant wave through nearby area in the lake at the back of the guild, it had been dubbed 'Heart Lake' by the youngest member of the guild. Kylie had named the lake, which had simply been referred to as 'The Lake' until she came along. She'd refused to rename it anything else, and just like the slogan 'Draconem's got the heart', the name stuck.

"KYA!" Misty wailed as her pool floaty was capsized and she was flipped into the water.

Sting was momentarily drowning before he regained his balance and started doggie paddling over with full intent on kicking Natsu into the middle of next Tuesday.

"What the heck!" Misty shrieked as she burst to the surface, her blue streaked light blue shoulder length hair sopping wet and dripping.

The members of the lost guild Draconem Heart were having a day off from training, and some chose to spend it out picnicking and swimming by the lake. Natsu laughed.

"Sorry Mist!" He called as he started swimming backwards.

"Get back here Dragneel you almost sent me to a watery grave!" Sting shouted. He'd only recently learned how to swim, and was still struggling with it. This meant that his top speed was a little over two miles an hour, and Natsu was doing the backstroke in front of him, easily avoiding the angry slayer.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask, you just learned to swim out of the blue, so where did you learn?" Onyx asked as he bobbed over. His brown-black hair plastered against his face so that it was nearly covering his eyes.

Sting turned red in an instant, his face feeling hot. For the one who'd taught him to swim had been Yukino when he'd run into her, more like landed on her, at the grand magic games water park.

"Umm...bye!" Sting turned and hightailed it from the water, as fast as he could go, when he was outstripped by a frizzy red head in a swim-skirt using water wings.

"Hiya, Sting!" Little Kylie sang as she swam by on her way to the dock, where he parents were calling for her to come get some sunscreen.

"Bye-ya Sting!" She laughed as she treaded the water easily with her tiny legs, sending a wave into Sting's face.

"HAHAHAHA! Your getting beaten by a little girl, Sting! Your pathetic!" Natsu laughed hysterically, kicking with his legs and pointing.

"Why you...WHITE DRAGON ROAR!"

"No!" Misty cried out as the laser of white magic shot across the water, sending out waves to either side in it's wake, and slammed into Natsu. The blast sent him flying through the water and sending out tidal waves to the right and left, which quickly grew into dangerous threats.

"H-HEY!" Orchid shrieked as she flailed around the water, her green hair whipping in the wind kicked up by the fight. She was being lifted up by the wave until Cobra braved the whirlpool caused by the two now having a roaring contest and seized her in his arms.

"Idiot! Be careful!" He scolded her as he surfed the wave on Misty's pool float, the back of which Misty was clinging too, and Onyx was clinging to her ankle.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry!" She wailed.

"Mind the super hearing!" Cobra moaned, his ears weren't gonna be lasting much longer if Orchid kept up the habit of hiding behind him.

"Oh, you wanna go for real!?" Natsu asked Sting after they had shot roars back and forth at each other.

"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" The pink haired mage than yelled.

He flew through the water towards the poorly swimming mage.

He socked Sting across the face so hard he caused the water all around them to blast up into the air.

Up in the Draconem Heart clock tower, Master Dracoya was looked out the window and sighed, already having guessed what had happened.

"Oh, this ought to be an interesting start to the summer." She murmured as she picked up her red towel, already donning her own bikini in red and gold with her pale green hair up in a high messy bun. She walked out of the clock tower that served as both her office and home, with an apartment above, in the works of the clock.

Kylie screamed with glee as she rose up into the air on a wave of water.

"THIS IS AWESOME!" She cried out as she dropped back into the water with a small splash.

Only to have the space around her suddenly turn to planets and stars and float her up out of the water to her parents.

"Thanks Zahn!" KeKe, her mother, exclaimed to the space godslayer as he used his magic to pull Kylie from the water and into her red headed mothers arms.

"No problem, now, hope I don't die for me, will you?" The teen with black hair dusted gold asked, sounding less than enthusiastic as he dove into the water, clad in purple swim trunks.

Kayden, Kylie's father, sighed, "I swear, those boys are gonna kill someone."

"Nah, it's funny, Papa!" Kylie exclaimed happily.

Kayden chuckled, his black hair was in a pixie cut, covering half of his face and one eye, he used a form of lost take-over magic that allowed him to take the shape, form, and to an extent, powers, of mythical creatures.

That had lead to way to many a pony ride when Kylie had discovered he could use the form and limited healing abilities of a unicorn.

"I suppose it is kinda silly." He admitted as he watched Cobra lose control of the raft he, Orchid, Onyx and Misty were surfing through the fray on, and tumble into the water again with several curses and a loud splash.

Misty had snapped when her favorite pair of sunglasses slipped off of her head and sank into the depths.

"My glasses!" She shrieked, diving underwater and moving her arms around in a failed attempt to seize her glasses. But they were already long gone.

"Oh, that's it."

Misty was the water dragonslayer, completely in control over her element.

The guys she was mad at were both bobbing in it.

"WATER DRAGON WING ATTACK!" She shrieked, cracking her arms down.

Two giant whips of water blasted into Sting and Natsu.

"ARRGH!" Natsu backflipped and splashed into the water.

"Now Misty's in on it! IT'S A PARTY!"

Natsu punched the closest male to him, who happened to be Zahn.

"OW!" Zahn shouted as he was sent into a wild backflip.

"What the heck!? I didn't even hit anyone yet!" The space godslayer cried out in fury, flailing one arm in the air and rubbing his tanned cheek, which was aching from the blow, with the other.

"White Dragon Roar!" Sting aimed and fired at Natsu yet again, but the fire mage dodged and his dark haired guild mate took the hit.

When Zahn resurfaced after being blasted underwater by the laser of white magic energy, he wasn't very happy.

"Oh, screw it!" Zahn growled.

"Space god's bellow!" He shouted, a pillar of purple magic with stars and planets in it shot into Natsu, sending him hurtling from the water and landing hard on the sandy beach of the lake.

"Are you gonna do anything?" Sofie asked, she and Rogue stood on the dock watching the madness. Sofie had her slightly curly dark brown hair up in a high ponytail, and wore an electric blue athletic tankini, showing her green guild mark on her thigh. Rogue wore simple black swim trunk, he turned to her and shook his head.

"Than I'll just get dragged into it." He said softly as he watched Natsu dive into the water again to punch his blonde partner in the face with his fire.

Sofie had an evil grin on her face.

"THAT'S THE POINT!" She cried, seizing Rogue's wrist.

"Wait, SOFIE!" Rogue yelled as Sofie shrieked.

"COWABUNGA!"

Leaping into the water and dragging Rogue in behind her, the two of them hit the water with a violent splash.

Ultear suddenly appeared out of nowhere, bobbed straight up from, it seemed, the bottom of Heart Lake, and asked.

"So you two finally admit your a couple? You've been spending a whole lot more time together these past six months since the games. Sofie did save you when you almost overloaded, Rogue..."

The two of them turned as red as could be, and while Rogue just floated there with a blank look on his tomato of a face, Sofie splashed and yelled at Ultear until she disappeared yet again into the water.

"Well that was random." She commented when she caught her breath.

"Yeah..." Rogue agreed.

Sofie imminently attacked her friend Zahn to change the rather awkward mood.

"WHY ME!?" He yelled as he was struck by a lightning bolt in the rear end.

"Ok, fine! SPACE GOD'S FIST!" He dove up out of the water with a thrust from his legs and punched at Sofie, who disappeared into a lightning bolt.

"Boo!" She appeared behind him and cried out.

"LIGHTNING GOD'S BELLOW!"

"ACK!" Zahn was sent spinning into the water, slamming into it in a belly flop that drew a resounding 'oooooo' from everyone around him.

Natsu and Sting were swimming as if from the devil himself as they flew by, splashing a slowly sinking Zahn with their wake.

"Get back here you two! You ruined my day on the lake! Get back here so I can destroy you idiot's!" Misty screamed at them, her water whip arcing through the air above her as she swung it down, it crashed into the water and sent Sting and Natsu flying. The two of them flailed through the air to do a face plant in the sand on the beach.

"Owch." They both rolled over and groaned, now looking as though they had coated in bread crumbs and ready to be dropped into the frier. With the rage obvious on Misty's face, falling into a frier may have been a better option than staying to deal with the water wizard's wrath.

"This is all your fault, Natsu-san, now she'd gonna kill us!" Sting yelled as he jumped to his feet.

"No! It's your fault for being such a terrible swimmer!" Natsu shot back.

"What!? How does that have anything to do with anything!?" Sting asked in fury, a vein popping on his head.

The two were growling at each other and trading petty insults when someone cleared their throat behind them.

"Ahem."

They both turned to see Misty, riding with her waist down consumed in a whirling watery tornado of liquid.

"Would it help if we said we were sorry?"

Sting asked weakly, raising his finger a bit as Natsu smiled what he hoped was a winning grin.

"Not. At. All." The dangerous water mage spat each word.

Master Dracoya had just stepped off of the drawbridge to the beautiful castle, and was turning to go to the lake, humming softly to herself, just in time to hear.

"WATER DRAGON'S TSUNMI SLASH!"

There was a giant explosion of water and a lot of screaming as the water of Heart Lake rained down on the nearby ground. When everything settled, Sting and Natsu were both stuck with their heads in the sand, their exceeds yanking on their ankles to try and get them out. Zahn flew along through the air, easily manipulating gravity around himself, he'd been the only one to avoid the disaster.

Master Dracoya stood there and stared at the destruction of the once beautiful lake.

"Oh well..." She sighed, she could repair it later.

She turned on her heel and made for the courtyard.

"I'll go to the pool instead." She called over her shoulder.

Misty stood in the center of the now empty lake, save for a few small puddles, at least, hands on her hips, still glaring daggers at Sting and Natsu, the two idiots were, unfortunately, still buried in the sand.

Zahn rolled his eyes at the subsiding chaos as he flew back towards the castle in a backstroke fashion. Planning on a shower and a nap for the rest of his lazy day, saying out loud to no one in particular.

"Swimming is overrated anyway."
