First short story! Yay! I'll update at my own pace. (Aka which means VERY SLOW updates.)

(Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. They belong to Hiro Mashima, obviously.)

I simply wrote this book cause I had no idea of what I'm doing-

You can make requests if you like. (As long as they're appropriate, I'll let them slide. No rushing, please.)
—————————-

Today was another sunny day in Magnolia. Well, an extremely sunny day. The temperatures were extremely hot, which meant summer has officially begun.

For Lucy, this meant going out and travel around the city.

Instead of going out, she was sitting at a library, reading fantasy stories. After two hours of reading, Lucy picked up a magazine. It was mostly about modeling, yet one of the articles mentioned a vacationing resort.

"I'll go on a vacation, I'm so bored," She groaned. Not even books about vacationing sites helped her. She imagined herself sitting at a reclining beach chair, sunbathing, all while drinking a frappe.

"Ah..." Lucy sighed dreamily.

Perhaps that idea would become a reality!

The only problem, how would she get tickets?

"Lucy-san, there's something there," Wendy walked over to the blonde and took a bunch of sheets of paper behind the book cover. She held four tickets to a vacation resort!

"Wendy! You're a life savior! How did that ended up here?" The blonde glanced at the book.

"Lucky guess. And since I found them, I get to keep them," she said.

"Not fair!" Lucy whined.

She really wanted to talk to Levy about this. It could be an amazing opportunity for girl time! With no one to interrupt them, they could hang out all day long.

"We have to invite four people. We're both included on the list," Wendy gave Lucy a ticket. The blonde convinced her best friend to join her, she somehow accepted the request.

After deciding who's going to the resort, the girls decided to go to their respective homes to pack what they considered necessary for a beach resort.

Lucy's apartment...

The blonde couldn't decide what kind of clothes she wanted to wear on the trip. She checked her closet to find the new pink and blue luggage bag she bought one month ago.

"What kinda of clothes should I pack?" She held her chin in thought. Most of her outfits were suited for cold months, because she hadn't updated her closet. So she searched for minutes until she found the perfect summer outfits, jewelry, dresses, shoes,swimsuits, towels, and beauty essentials.

Then, she placed all of her clothing at the luggage bag.

"Hmm..." she glanced at the white shorts. They could get dirty easily, even by a little bit of dust.

Lucy took them out and replace them with a pair of black shorts.

"Guess I'm ready for tomorrow!"

At Fairy Hills...

Levy stared at the ceiling. She didn't know what to bring, or if there was anything to do to cure her boredom. Her luggage became heavy, due to the amount of books she carried in that thing, not because of the clothing or the essentials.

'Perhaps reading could kill some time,' she thought, glancing at the books at her mini library. So she picked a book titled 'The One and Only Ivan'. Then, Levy suddenly remembered Lucy recommended her to read 'The Little Mermaid'.

Levy picked out said recommendation and placed it on the counter. She observed both titles, and chose the first book.

"I'll read you later," she told the other book.

Levy stayed up all night, reading both stories. She only got halfway through, and drifted to take a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Wendy and Carla waited for the rest of the girls at the train station. At some point, someone would bring up her age, so she had a solution to that.

"Are you sure they'll arrive?" The exceed asked Wendy.

"I hope so..." Wendy sighed.

A few minutes later, the two friends and a pinkette arrived at the train station. Lucy seemed to wearing a blue crop top, black shorts, and sandals. Her blonde hair was tied in a long ponytail. Because she would most likely be swimming, she decided to wear no makeup.

On the other hand, Levy had a short sundress, her headband the same color as her dress, and a pair of comfy slippers. She was glad they were here, but what made Wendy happy was the sight of Sherria.

"Wendy!" The pinkette smiled. "I'm so glad to see you!"

"Me too!" The girl exclaimed.

The girls entered the train station, and the first thing they did was rushing to get the corner seats. The other passengers gave them rude stares. While Levy and Wendy got the corner seats,

Sherria and Lucy silently cried of disappointment and sat at the row next to them.

Levy pulled out a book from her bag, and started reading. The story got interesting, one of the characters found themselves at a battlefield, who had no other choice but to kill their best friend.

"No! You can't do that!" She cried. "Why?!?"

Wendy raised an eyebrow at the sight of Levy crying over fictional characters. Lucy was used to that behavior, so she didn't do anything about it.

Levy, Wendy, and Sherria fell asleep. Waking up early wasn't part of their daily routines. But it was better to take as much as possible. It was a three hour journey by train, so that seems like enough time for a long nap.

On the train ride, Lucy tried everything to fall asleep. Snacks from a railroad passenger, reading her own draft, nothing worked.

'What's wrong with me?' She thought. 'Maybe I ate too much sugar for breakfast? Is that it?'

Three hours later, the train stopped moving. Passengers stood up from their seats, heading to the train stop.

"Wake up sleepy heads! We're here!" Lucy searched for her luggage.

The three girls yawned at Lucy, as if replying to an odd conversation.

"We're coming, we're coming," They found their own bags and hopped off the train. Now, all they had to do is find their way to that beach resort.

Luckily, Levy found a map. More like the larger scale of it. She pointed to their location, the red dot, and traced how many steps it would take them to reach the reception area. According to her calculations, it would only take five minutes so do so.

Well, that did not age well.

The girls kept walking around circles, yet someone was nice enough to tour them around. He told the group all about the pools, water slides, food, hotel rooms, and all the services they would receive.

Then, they got back at the reception room. The walls were painted on different shades of grey, each one darker than the last. A portrait of fireworks and other decorations made the walls more lively. There was also a small couch enough for four people to sit. Don't forget a wooden stair case. Indeed, fancy.

They noticed the guy who toured them had wavy white hair with brown highlights, a red polo shirt, and had a name tag that read: 'Anthony.'

"That concludes today's tour," Anthony smiled. For some strange reason, Levy had a feeling something was off. She didn't knew what exactly, yet the stares she received from this 'Anthony' guy. Creep.

She couldn't dismiss something like that.

After a bunch of nonsense, the girls got their bracelets and room keys. Since they were new here, they didn't knew where to go, or what to do.

Levy inspected the number engraved on her silver room key. "Five eleven," she read.

"Five ten," Lucy checked her key.

"Five fifteen," Wendy and Sherria said at the same time. 

Now that everyone knew their room numbers, the girls went upstairs to find their respective rooms. Wendy and Sherria's room had a bunk bed with teal blanket sets. White walls, a floor lamp, and a small desk. It also had a balcony that exhibited the full view of a water park.

"That looks so much fun! Let's go there!" Wendy dropped her luggage on the ground, and observed the rides at the water park.

"Sure, let's just tell the others, so they know where we are," The pinkette replied. "And change into our swimsuits."

This will be the best day ever!

After they changed, the pair ran off to the water park. They waited in line to get to one of the slides, but it was worth it.

"Woah! This is fast!" Wendy and Sherria slid down the slide, falling at the pool. They kept splashing water at each other for quite some time, and went to an aquatic roller coaster.

As for the other duo, Lucy and Levy wandered off to the beach. They enjoyed the feeling of sand on their feet, and the sun hitting their faces. Not knowing someone was following them.

Sure, Lucy may have attracted the attention of a few fanboys  because of her floral swimsuit. But not stalking!

"I'll get a drink. I'll be back," Lucy went to a frappe stand, hoping that the guy would simply back off. Turned out, he was following Levy, unfortunately.

Near the stand, most of customers slurped their drinks happily. She noticed a strangely familiar white haired woman serving the drinks.

'Mirajane.' Lucy thought. 'What's she doing here?'

"May I order a piña colada?" The blonde ordered. The woman smiled kindly and prepared the drink. She knew it had to be Mira. One of her main questions was why she was here instead of the guild hall.

So she asked for her name. Like she expected, the woman revealed herself to be Mirajane, and they began a short conversation. After a while, Lucy's order was ready.

"Here you go!" She gave Lucy the glass of piña colada.

After finishing her drink, she managed to find her way to the beach to find a reclining chair for her sunbath.

She observed Levy throwing rocks at the ocean, careful enough so that she doesn't end up hurting small children. As for the creep, he's a goner, for now.

Good news: luck was at her side today.

"Finally... my dreams are a reality," Lucy laid down on the reclining chair. She felt like meat, the longer she was exposed to heat, the more her marshmallow skin toasted.

'This wasn't a bad idea. I wonder what's in store for later?'

I did it! I finally finished. I know it's long, yet a bit confusing (maybe I'll rewrite later, but for now I'm too lazy.)

Hope you enjoy. Bye bye!
