*One Week Earlier*
Knock, Knock.

"Come In" Makarov said.

"Hello Master, how is your new office?" Mirajane said.

"What is it this time Mira?" Makarov knew it was bad news, Mira never was one to be straight forward, and it was better to get the news upfront.

"Master, it seems that Team Erza were caught up in something again." Mira said.

"When will those kids ever learn?" Makarov muttered. "Send them in." Makarov said. Mira nodded, and went to summon the wizards. Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Happy walked into the room.

Master Makarov crossed his arms. "Listen up children. Your teamwork is lacking! You're all sorry excuses for Fairy Tail wizards! Friendship matters above all! One more screw up, and there will be serious consequences!" Makarov said.

"Master! It was nothing really!" Natsu defended himself.

"One more mission like this and you're all getting a consequence!" Makarov went out to the main guild hall, with Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Happy following him. "That goes for everyone! The next time one of you children get in another fight, I'm sending you off! And believe me, you won't like it!" Makarov said.


*Present day*
"I CANT BELIEVE YOU KIDS!" Master Makarov screamed. He walked in on the whole guild caught up in a grand brawl. Gray and Natsu had each other by the hair, with ice lances, and burn marks scattered around them. Happy was glaring at Lily, and Carla was blushing. Cana's cards were everywhere, and Jet was running around wildly, attempting to protect Levy along with Droy. Juvia was scowling at Natsu from afar, and Lucy was in the corner hiding. Loke was fighting with Elfman, and everyone was bruised and beaten up. Everyone immediately stopped fighting, and the guild was silent. They slowly all stood up straight, dropping their fists, and weapons.

"What are you children doing?" Makarov said.

"It was all Flame Brain's fault." Gray muttered.

"What was that Gray! Do you wanna go?" Natsu said.

"Yeah! I do. Let's go flame head!" Gray screamed, and tackled Natsu.

"Shut up! It was both of you idiots!" Gajeel said.

"Gajeel! What was that back there? I thought we were training well!" Pantherlily exclaimed.

"I left for the magic council, and come back to this!" Makarov exclaimed.

"Hey! Levy and I are perfectly innocent!" Lucy said, trying to defend her friend.

"Yeah! That's right! Juvia is too!" Levy squeaked.

"Gray-sama did nothing wrong! Juvia saw it with her own eyes!" Juvia added, attempting to save her lover.

"Be quiet!" Erza boomed. "The master is speaking!" Everyone stopped fighting.

Master Makarov crossed his arms. "Listen up children. I told you I would send you off, and believe me- I intend to keep that promise!" Makarov said. "Okay everyone, were all going on a trip tomorrow! Pack your bags, and be at the guild at 5 am tomorrow!" Makarov said.

"Gramps?" Laxus questioned.

"Master, you don't mean-" Mira said.

"Yes Mira. It's come to this. These children need a wakeup call." Makarov said. "And I assure you- they will get it." Makarov said, and stormed into his office on the second floor.


Natsu and Happy were dragging their feet to the Fairy Tail guild hall. When they arrived, almost the whole guild was there. They all had some luggage, and most of them were sitting. The only ones who looked awake were Erza, Laxus, and Mirajane. Natsu and Happy sat down next to Lucy.

"Good morning Natsu" Lucy said, and covered her mouth as she yawned.

"Hi Luce" Natsu muttered.

"What's up with you guys? You're never this tired?" Lucy asked.

"Aye sir." Happy said as a big white bus drove up to the guild. The doors opened, and revealed Master Makarov sitting in the driver's seat.

"Get on children! We're going to Fairy Tail Boot Camp!" He said, and motioned them to get on the bus. After a large collection of moans, and the stamping of feet, the wizards were all on the bus. Mira and Erza sat in the front two seats. Makarov closed the doors, and they drove away from the guild. After a very long bus ride that took 7 hours, the white bus arrived at a camp around 1 pm. It looked like a summer camp, mixed with a military camp. There was a rope course, sports field, front office, cabins, a rock wall, and a lake. Everyone stepped out of the bus, and marveled at the sight. The sun was shining, and there was a clear sky. The smell of pine overtook the smell of fire, iron, or ice on any person.

"Listen up everybody!" Erza said. "Mira and I are going to explain some of the rules." Erza said, and motioned for Mira to talk.

"Alright everybody, in case you haven't figured it out already, we're going to 'Fairy Tail Boot Camp'" Mira said, pointed around her at the site. "Which is exactly what it sounds like, we're going to a camp site to better our teamwork, relations, and collaborative work. We will be doing teamwork exercises. For example" Mira pointed towards Erza.

"We will be doing some team activities like canoeing or kayaking, team belaying, team sports, and we will be sleeping in cabins. The boys and girls will sleep in different cabins, and we will all wear uniforms every day. We are allowed to shower every day, but we have to monitor the water we use, because we have a specific amount a day. And if you're the last one showering- you're not going to be too happy with cold water, unless, you're an ice wizard." Everyone turned, and looked at Gray. "Boys follow Master Makarov, and Laxus." Erza pointed towards Laxus, who started walking to the right side of camp. "Girls follow Mira and I to the cabins. We'll be coming back for our bags later." The wizards went to their cabins, and found clothes with their names on them.

"Listen up girls, these are out uniforms for the time we stay here. Everyone is provided a different color one piece bathing suit" Erza held up her red one piece suit "sneakers, and socks," Again, Erza held up her white socks, and red converse. "Shorts and a t-shirt with the Fairy Tail sign on it are provided as well" Erza held up her white shorts, and Red shirt with a white Fairy Tail sign on it. "All the uniforms were designed by Mira" Erza pointed to Mira. "And to avoid confusion, everyone has different color clothes. This will avoid fighting, and it's easier this way. Everyone has 10 minutes to get changed. Then were meeting the boys on the sports field for our first challenge!"
