Hey guys, sorry I went all hiatus on you. I got Tumblr, which slowed a lot of stuff down, believe me. That thing is addicting...

Also, I swear, pretty much all the plans I had for 'How to Love' flew out the window. Really, I tried! I tried writing some of it, but then I realized that GaLe really wasn't my thing…and I sort of screwed up on it. Oh, but don't worry! I'll still be attempting to write that chapter, just…not today. Sorry.

Instead, I've got something else for all of you beautiful people! Although it's a little on the short side…

Enjoy!

Chapter 22: Perfume Shop

The doors to the largest perfume shop in Magnolia swung open with a bang. Natsu and Gajeel staggered out, occasionally coughing out little puffs of pink smoke. The two Dragon Slayers swayed from side to side- even colliding with each other at one point-before they both collapsed on a nearby bench.

Natsu panted heavily, "That was TERRIBLE!"

Gajeel nodded, "For once, I agree with ya…"

"All those people kept trying to spray us with those bottles!"

"Bastards," The Iron Dragon Slayer sneered, "I bet that was some kind of magic. Giving us headaches…"

"And the smells are too damn strong!" the pink-haired whined, "My nose can't handle it!"

"Same," says Gajeel, "Damn it, why did I let the Shrimp drag me here? !"

"Lucy too! She said that I would have fun there!"

"Fun, my ass!"

Natsu crossed his arms over his chest with an annoyed look, "Even Wendy went in there! Girls are such weirdos."

"How the hell can anyone stand being in there for more than five minutes?" the other Slayer wondered, also crossing his arms over his chest. The sight of two annoyed Dragon Slayers sitting on a bench together was an interesting sight to see.

"It's probably a girl thing," Natsu answered smartly, "And our strong noses, I guess."

"But wait…the Little Girl's a girl and has a strong nose," Gajeel pointed out, "How can she stand it?"

As the Fire Dragon Slayer began to brainstorm, the doors opened once again, revealing the mentioned blue haired Dragon Slayer.

"Natsu-san, Gajeel-san, are you alright?" Wendy asked, concerned.

"No! That place is like sh-"

Natsu elbowed Gajeel in the ribs.

"Ow! Goddammit, what was that for? !" he growled.

The Salamander ignored him, instead focusing on Wendy, "Don't worry, Wendy. We're just gonna stay out here, okay?"

"We don't wanna get in the way of your 'girl time'…" Gajeel grumbled.

The concern on the young girl's face melted into a smile, "Okay! Call me if you need me!"

She skipped happily back inside.

All was silent before both male Dragon Slayers spoke up.

"It's definitely a girl thing."

A/N: I hate perfume shops…seriously, my nose dies a little when I enter one.
