After the bus finally stopped at the school, Natsu seemed to have been plugged into an electrical socket. He exploded from his seat, hollering about how great it was to be alive, Happy 'Aye!'ing along. Lucy mentally facepalmed, then with a sigh, reached over and grabbed his hand.

"Let's get inside," she suggested, giving the bus driver an apologetic smile. He gave a friendly wave back.

"Wait, is this the school? It's big," Natsu commented, putting his hands behind his head.

"I thought so, too," Lucy agreed. "Um, do you think you could change into something more... school-like?" Lucy gestured to his all-white outfit and bare feet. "That isn't exactly... well, schooly." Natsu glanced at his clothes and frowned.

"Well then, what do I wear?"

"Try to make your clothes kind of look like... his." Lucy pointed to a random boy that was walking past them. He had black hair and dark blue- almost black- eyes, and was wearing a black tee, with the Japanese symbol for 'winter' printed on it, and light brown shorts. Was being the key word here. Just seconds after Lucy pointed to him, he tossed off his shirt and started stripping off his pants. Thankfully, he had boxers on. Lucy shrieked in shock and covered her eyes. Natsu blinked.

"Uh... So I'm not supposed to wear anything?" he asked, rubbing his head.

"Aye!" Happy agreed. Natsu shrugged.

"Okay." Natsu reached for the bottom of his shirt.

"NOO!" Lucy smacked his hand. "That's just Gray! He has a weird stripping habit, and he never knows when he takes his clothes off!" Natsu blinked.

"That's weird. Oi, pervert!" He turned and stomped towards the boy dubbed 'Gray', ignoring Lucy's plea for him to come back. Gray whipped around with a scowl.

"Yeah, what do you want, pinkie?" he growled back.

"First of all, it's salmon! And second of all, put your clothes on!" Natsu snapped, pointing to the discarded clothes on the ground. Gray's eyes widened in surprise.

"Dang it! Not again!" He hurriedly tossed his clothes back on, glaring at Natsu. "This is all your fault!" Natsu blinked innocently.

"What did I do?" he asked, tilting his head. Gray just uttered a 'whatever' and stalked away. Lucy hurried up to Natsu and pulled on his arm.

"Don't mess with him! He's a bully!" she said. Natsu glanced at her.

"Right, okay. So, let's go inside!" He started to walk away, but Lucy reached over and pulled on his shirt sleeve. Natsu reluctantly backpedaled until he was standing in front of her.

"What now?" he sighed.

"You still need to change your clothes," Lucy pointed out. "Try to change them into... a pink shirt with a white Japanese symbol for 'summer' on it, and black shorts with black sandals," she suggested. Natsu complied, and the halo above his head once again enveloped him in a bright light before disappearing. The clothes Lucy had just described were now covering his body. Natsu experimentally tapped the toe of his sandal on the ground.

"Not bad," he commented. "Now let's go!"


Lucy could feel the stares of all the other kids as she walked into the school with Natsu, hand-in-hand. Natsu seemed to revel in the attention, and waved cheekily at everyone that met his eyes. Finally, they entered Lucy's classroom, where they were stopped by the teacher. The teacher had long purple hair tied up in a red bow, warm brown eyes, and a pair of round glasses resting on her nose. She was wearing a white and blue knee-length dress with red tights, and a pair of white and blue boots were on her feet.

"Excuse me, but you don't seem familiar," the teacher said, pointing at Natsu. Natsu looked behind him, then stared back at the teacher and pointed to himself. The teacher nodded.

"Ah, sorry. I'm a new student. You should've recieved a message about me joining the school today." Natsu had an intense look in his eyes as he stared at the teacher, who soon became slightly flustered.

"Er... I-" Suddenly, her computer made a small beep from where it was placed on her desk. The teacher glanced once more at Natsu, then bustled over and checked her messages. After reading over the one she had just recieved, she sighed and adjusted her glasses.

"Well then, welcome to Fairy Tail Elementary, Natsu Dragneel. I am Laki Olietta, but you shall call me Ms. Laki. Please take a seat in one of the empty desks."

"Thanks, Ms. Larry!" Natsu beamed at her, and though he had gotten her name totally wrong, Ms. Laki couldn't help but give a small smile back.

"It's Laki. Now go take your seat." Natsu happily skipped to the back of the classroom, dragging Lucy with him. As Lucy usually sat in the back anyways and there weren't assigned seats, he chose to sit in the corner closest to the bookshelf. Lucy settled into a desk beside him, glancing nervously at the kids that stared at her and him. And that's when Natsu finally noticed Gray sitting on the opposite side of the room, glaring straight at the pink-haired star boy.

And that's when all Hell broke loose.

Me: I'M STILL ALIVE. I WILL STILL UPDATE. I have just been busy reading new mangas, such as Noragami. I've also read a thing called a 'manhwa', which is Korean, by the way. It was called 'Witch Hunter'. That. Was. The. Best. Thing. EVER. I suggest reading it when you get the chance!

Natsu: *Scowls* Better than me, or Fairy Tail?

Me: Ah, no. Sorry. *Senses evil intent behind me* *Slowly turns around*

Erza: *Is standing behind me* DID I HEAR SOMEBODY INSULT FAIRY TAIL?!

Me: AH! NO! I'M SORRY! UWAAAHHHH!
