Hey, everyone. School is almost over and summer is coming up fast. Personally I am super excited! My family always goes camping and spends time with our church friends. But also this year I am going to a Marching Band camp, because next school year I am joining the marching band. Except this year it happens to be the week after I get back from two weeks of camping already, so I get four weeks straight of camping! Crazy!

I dedicate this chapter to ivadragic !

Love you all!
******************************

It was the second day of their "vacation" and they were all headed to the guild. Lucy knew Natsu had something in his head, but he wouldn't tell her a thing until they reached their destination. As they were approaching the large wooden doors, Natsu runs up and slams them with his feet, causing a giant ruckus of his sudden force.

"What the heck are you doing?! You almost broke the doors!" Lucy explained.

Ignoring her, Natsu jumped onto a table and claimed the attention he had just won.
"Fairy Tail, listen to me."

Words of hate were thrown back at him, such as.

"Get down from there!"

"Who are you to tell us to listen?!"

"Shut up!"

But Natsu didn't back down, he still stood strong atop the small wooden table and spoke with a loud and powerful voice.

"Shut up and listen! Dont you think this is unfair? Unfair to be treated the way we are, like rats. No worse, like dirt! They treat us like they can use us to their ever whim and then throw us away when they feel like it!"

Lucy starred up at Natsu from the ground as the crowd went silent.

"They think we dont have feelings like normal people? What is normal? We are normal, but they have turned us into something thats not. Only we can change that, we can show them that we cant be controlled like animals. Thats we have feelings and a will of our own."

Now the crowd yelled things quite the opposite from before, more chants of encouragement and shouts of joy. Lucy was on the bridge of tears, as she had never seen anyone brave enough to stand up to the council before.

"We must work together as one body, one mind. 'Many hands make work light', its a saying my father used to tell me all the time. It means that with help from friends and others you can accomplish anything! If we all do this we can win!"

The guild roared in a cry of excitement and cheering rage. Then Lucy thought of something and tapped Natsu foot on the table, he looked down at her with a smile.

"Uh, Natsu, what are we doing?" She pointed out.

"Oh yeah!" He snapped his head up, back to the guild. "Here's the plan. We dont fight."

The guild went into an uproar of confusion.

"How are we supposed to do that?!"

"They'll kill us!"

"He's crazy."

Natsu waved his hand in front of him, in worry.
"No, they wont kill you! If the entire guild wont fight, they cant kill all of us. Wheathwr they say it or not, they need us. We are the ones saving this country, not them. If we dont do this then more innocent mages will die for no reason, we have the power to stop it. But fighting isnt the answer, I found this out the hard way and I was wrong. I was reckless and stupid, but if we put our heads together and keep strong, we will succeed!"

Again the crowd went wild and cheered for the speaker no really recognized. But they didn't care, they were overjoyed that someone has finally took the stand and decided to do something about their horrible existence. Someone was on their side.

Lucy pulled Natsu down from the table and did something she never thought she would do, she wasn't thinking was completely caught up in the moment. She yanked his arm and kissed him, right on the lips. Natsu was paralyzed and confused by her sudden motion.

Lucy pulled away in shock, realizing what she had just done.
"Im sorry. I didn't..."

Her hand waving in the air trying to lessen the awkwardness, but Natsu just starred at her. His face soft, his smile curved into a tiny giggle at her silly actions.

"There is no reason to be sorry." He took her into his large arms again and kissed her.

This is how life should be, full of love. Not hate or vile acts against the innocent. She loved Natsu, even though he had nothing, no money, nothing to call his own. But she loved him for his dirt covered face that always smiles, and his goofy attitude that brightened her day.

Neither mage had anything, but the one thing they had was each other.
