Hey everyone! Glad that a lot of people read my update and I'm looking forward to how this is received. Also, a shout-out the the one anon who reviewed, it's nice to hear feedback of any sort, so thanks buddy! Alright, Natsu's back. And he has no clue what's about to hit him. Muahahahaha. Slight change in plans tho. The story will maintain the high octane fun factor but may get darker later. Nothing too serious, but actually more realistic. Here we go, I've looked forward to this.

Previously on Three's a Crowd

Before she could punish the out of line cat, Natsu Dragneel stepped into the guild, fist ablaze, yelling…..

"I'M BAAACCCCCKKKKKKK"

A few groans went up from the general crowd, as people began to prepare themselves for the inevitable destruction. With Erza also away on a mission, they would be no escape from the upcoming 953rd round of Natsu v Gray and being Fairy Tail, everyone was bound to get involved.

Yanking his pants up gray yelled back, "Oi, Flameface, who you calling a stripper huh?"

Natsu shot right back, "You, you Droopy eyed bastard." As his right fist flew out, smashing into the ice mage's jaw. And boy did Gray fly. Straight out the back wall and into the sky, vanishing with a Twinkle. A wide grin split Natsu's face, as he licked his canines while muttering,

"Hehehe, he deserved that. Perv needed to be punished for not remembering for me. Alright," Natsu began yelling while picking up the nearest table, "Who's NEXT?"

Slamming his empty mug on the table, Elfman stood up and proudly proclaimed, "It would not be Manly to turn down a cha-" before he could have finished his next little tidbit about Manliness, Natsu broke the table on his head.

And...

No points for guessing.

Yup. All freaking hell broke loose.

Emerging from the wreckage, Elfman began to brawl with half the guild, while Natsu was throwing anything and everything he could find. Macao and Wakaba grinded their faces against each other, yelling something about money. Poor little Wendy was desperately trying to dodge the destruction as Carla flew overhead, her insults hurting people more than fists. Cana was the worst. Smashed out of her mind, she began to use wine barrels as bowling balls, knocking over rows of people in a single swing. Master was lazily snoring on the second floor, while Gajeel kept alternating between "SALAMANDER" and, "SHOOBEDOBOP".

Amidst all the chaos, Lucy sat cross legged behind the counter, sighing in exasperation as the ever cheery barmaid watched the scene with a smile. This was the rowdiest guild in all of Fiore, nothing would change, because this is what home felt like, and after recent events, it was exactly what she needed. However, when a mass of pink hair and fire leapt over the counter, he popped his little bubble of self content and satisfaction, saying just one sentence.

"Hi Luce! Hope you need rent money, cuz we have a job"

As the moron stood there, flexing and grinning that infectious, almost devilish grin, she couldn't help but smile along with him.

Oh I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that. I know it's aout half the length of the earlier chapter length, but I'm slowly getting back into the groove. Look forward to weekly updates. Don't forget to drop a review, it's the only way I can find out if you like it or not. Leave a suggestion if you have one. And I'll see you guys in a week. Mwelkar out. Shazam.
