Lucy's P.O.V
I stretched my hands up in the air, "Ah~ That feels good!" Looking back down, I see Levy still reading that book of hers. "Levy-chan.." I pouted, making a face. "Why are you still reading? It's the middle of the day!" Her eyes look up to meet mine, "I don't know. I guess I'm kinda bored." She closed the book taking a deep sigh.
"Hey Lu-chan...How did you get Natsu to notice your feelings?" I slowly feel the heat rush into my cheeks, "Eh..? My f-feelings? He doesn't even know that I like him way more than a friend!" Wait..Does Levy have problems with Gajeel?

"Levy-chan, is this about Gajeel?" She nods in defeat, "I tried following Erza's advice...You know, trying to send him signals and stuff. But that doesn't seem to help." I chuckle, "Let me tell you this..you know, from my experience from liking a dense guy. They will never get signals, they're like--a wall blocking all that." She remains quiet for awhile.

"You know, hearing this from you..it kinda makes sense." She finally breaks a smile and turns to look at the waters, where Gajeel and Lily are at and sighs. "I'll figure it out. Wish me luck!" She stands up and walks to the water. Wow..It feels great to give advice and feel proud about it after. Good for you Lucy..Good for you--

"Hey Luce, who are you talking to?" I turn around and see a familiar salmon-haired mage and blue cat approach me. I couldn't help but smile as I stood up. "Mm, no one..Why?" I answered. "She's crazy Natsu!" Happy whispered close to his ear. "I don't even know why you like--" In a split second Natsu rushed to cover his mouth. Like...Like, me? The sun's rays seems to hate me as I began to feel hot. "I...Uh--Happy! You should know why I like food!" He starts chuckling nervously.

I completely ignore what just happen a moment ago as I take Natsu by the arm, "Hey! Let's go get some drinks! I hear their smoothies are the best!" He gives me his signature grin that made my heart melt. "Yeah! But it's your treat!"

"What? Why me?"
"Because you offered it..." I sighed, "Fine. My treat...just for today because I'm feeling nice."
"Lushee..Nice..? What now? Raining dogs?" I hear that cat mutter once again as grab him and started hugging him real tight. "Said anything Happy?" I gritted out while giving him a death hug. "Ah! Uh..No! W-Why would you say that?" He laughs nervously just like Natsu had just did awhile ago.

I released him even though I wanted to just squeeze him to death. I looked back at Natsu who was laughing in amusement, I give him a smile as I lock my arm around his. "Let's go?"

Juvia's P.O.V
I look back at Gray-sama who was a little far behind me. I extended my hand in the air, "Is Gray-sama coming?" I shout. I see him nod as he jogs up to me. "Oh, sorry about that...Just distracted for awhile.." I look up into his eyes, "Does Gray-sama want to talk about it?" He shakes his head hesitantly as he gives me a reassuring smile.

"You could help me take my mind off of it." My eyes lit up with hearts, "Juvia can do that!" I look around, thinking of something to do. Ah! I grab his hand and lead him into an empty spot of flat sand. "Do you want to built a sand castle?" He looks at me before chuckling, "Uh sure." I look around once again for a bucket and a shovel. Oh! I approach a group of small kids as they were building a sand castle. "Excuse me?"

Their heads turn to my voice, "Can Juvia borrow the bucket and shovel? It will only take moment!" One of them nods their head as they reach to grab them. I was handed a bucket and a shovel before I felt a little girl tapping my leg. I looked down, giving the girl a polite smile. The girl was beautiful, she had shoulder-length purple hair and dark blue eyes just like my Gray-sama.

"Does the little girl need something from Juvia?" I asked her kindly. She pointed something behind me as I turned around. She was pointing at Gray-sama who was sitting on the sand looking at a distance. "Gray-sama? Do you know him?" I faced her as her expression still doesn't change. "He's the type to hide his problems away from others...Promise me you'll take care of his happiness." She says in a quiet voice.

"Huh?" I looked back at Gray-sama, "How do you know--" I turn to look at the girl again as she disappeared. "What?" I spin around almost in a complete circle. Was I dreaming? "Oi! Juvia!" I hear Gray-sama call me. I look at him in a sudden daze as I began to walk back to him.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I nod my head slightly, "Juvia is fine..but--" I turn to look around again for the girl. "Did Gray-sama saw that? A girl--A little girl was talking to Juvia.." He looks at me in confusion, "No.." Then, I must have been imagining stuff. I shake my head mentally, "Okay! Let's start building a sand castle!" I see him finally break a smile as he looked at me.

"Thanks for taking care of my happiness." I smile at him..wait. Happiness? Isn't that what the girl just told me. "What?" I thought out-loud.
"Oh, sorry. It's just what Ur always tell me, 'Think about my own happiness' Kinda funny, don't ya think?.." That girl..was she who I thought she was?
"Hey Juvia..Are you sure you're really okay?" I snap back into reality as I nod my head in reassurance, "Yeah! Juvia was being distracted lately." I chuckled.

Wendy's P.O.V
Romeo and I continued to walk around the beach, our sandals making cracking sounds as we step on a few grains of sand. "Do you want to get ice cream?" He asked me after awhile. I looked at him before giving him a smile in agreement. We walked to a near-by ice cream cart as I continue to hold his hand. "Hello." The old man greeted us. "Lovely weather isn't it?" I nodded my head as I looked at Romeo.
"Beautiful." He replies at me as I slowly blush. The old man chuckles as he looked at us. "Okay, what can I get you kids?"

"Strawberry for me please."
"Vanilla please." He nodded at us as he began to scoop the ice cream into the cones. Romeo began to dig through his wallet before he spoke again, "Oh no! On the house!" He says. I gave him a worried look, "Are you sure? I mean--"
"It's okay." He says kindly. "You kids go have fun on your date."
"Oh we're not..." I muttered. After we were handed our ice creams, we walked some more.
"He was kind, wasn't he?" Romeo asked me as I tasted my ice cream once more. I nodded my head, "Very! It's sweet that he gave us this for free." It was quiet for awhile as we continued to eat our ice cream.

"Say Wendy--" He began. "Mm?" I looked at him, turning my head slightly. "We never had our first date yet huh?" My stomach was filled with butterflies as I perked my head up. "No.." I said trailing off.
"Well...I was thinking, why don't I take you out tomorrow?" The corners of my lips turn up as I looked at him with sparkles in my eyes.
"Really?" He smiles back at me as he wraps his arm onto my shoulder, "Of course! It would be fun! But I promise it wouldn't be anywhere expensive." I smile at him as he continued to tell me possible places for our first date.

Levy's P.O.V
I continued to splash some more water on Gajeel and Lily. "Shrimp!" He shouted at me as I continued to fight off a fit of giggles. We were a little far from the shore and the water almost up to my waist.
He charged at me grabbing me by the legs and the next thing I knew I was up in the air on his shoulders. "G-Gajeel!" I shouted in embarrassment. "Can't spray water on me anymore huh?" I could just see the smirk on his face. I began to hit his back, "Put me down!"
"If you say so--" He let loose of my legs and my face landed on the surface of the water, soaking my entire hair. I swim back up giving him a playful glare.

"Hey Shrimp, can we go now?" He asked me. "I'm kinda hungry..." I sighed, slumping my shoulders down, "Okay. Let's eat." He gives me a toothy grin as he began to walks back shore. I began to follow him as I realize something was missing. I stopped at my tracks as I touched my head, where is my yellow bandana? Oh no...Did I lose it? I scattered farther into the ocean. I started crouching down, looking desperately for it...until I hear a distant voice shouting at me.

"Shrimp!" I hear what I think was Gajeel's voice yelling at me. I stood up raising my hand, "Hold on! I'm looking for something!" He started yelling at me again as he waved his hands at me alarmed. His mouth kept opening and closing as if he was talking, but since he was too far away, I couldn't hear a word. "Behind you...Wave!" I finally hear what he says as I turned around only to be met by a wall of water.

The wall literally crashed into me causing me to be swept with it, losing my balance. I closed my eyes shut as it dragged me against the rocky sand. Every time I opened my mouth I kept on swallowing the bitter salt water. The sand gashed against my exposed back and shoulders. Then everything was dead silence, and I slowly hear an eerie sound.
"Shrimp!--" I hear the voice rather clearly but everything was still black. I slowly gained my consciousness as my eyes remain closed. I tried lifting any of my limbs but it all felt like dead weight, I was tired, I realized.

With just enough strength I was able to open one of my eyes as I was met with a familiar red-eyed mage. Gajeel...His expression caused my heart to drop. I could feel him shaking me violently but I could barely feel it. I wanted to tell him I was okay but I closed my eyes and felt myself go back to sleep.
