It was the morning of May 19 and Yuna woke up early even though it was the weekend because she was an early bird. She took her shower, got dressed and made herself some breakfast. As she was eating, her phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the caller ID. It was Izuku.
"Hey Yuna. Did you get my voicemail last night?" Izuku said through the phone.
"Yeah. I didn't call back because I got home late last night and I didn't want to wake you up in case you were already asleep." Yuna said.
"Oh, it's okay. Hey, I was wondering if you were gonna be busy this weekend. I understand if you are. I was expecting to still be at my internship after all." Izuku said, seeing if she was free to hang out over the weekend sometime.
"Oh, I'm going to be training with Asta some more this weekend. I told him I'd train with him the entire week." Yuna told Izuku who paused.
"Oh, okay. I figured you might have something planned. But I just wanted to make sure." Izuku said through the phone.
"I'm sorry Izuku. I know we haven't seen each other in five days, but I wasn't expecting you to be home so soon. So I made plans." Yuna apologized to Izuku who sighed.
"It's okay. I got sent home early after all." Izuku said as an awkward silence formed between them.
"...I guess I'll see you on Monday then." Izuku said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, see you then." Yuna said as she hung up the phone. She felt a little bad that she couldn't hang out with Izuku since they hadn't seen each other all week. She finished eating breakfast then grabbed her grimoire and teleported to the training ground she and Asta always went to in Hage Village. Asta was surprised to see her this early in the day.
"Hey Yuna. What are you doing here at this hour? I thought you weren't going to show up til later." Asta said in a surprised tone.
"Oh it's the weekend now. I don't have school on the weekend so I can come over earlier." Yuna explained to Asta.
"That's great! Now we can fit in more training!" Asta said enthusiastically as Yuna smiled back, nodding her head. They started with some workouts then started their sparring matches until lunch time. They went back to the church to eat lunch with their foster family. Then they went back to their training ground to continue sparring until it was time to eat dinner back at the church. After dinner, they went back to spar some more. When they were done, Yuna had Yuno, Father, and Sister Lily help her cast the spell to get home. She changed into her pajamas and went to bed and then repeated the routine the next day.
~Time Skip~
It was Monday, May 21 and Yuna left her apartment to go to school. Izuku was waiting outside her door so they could head to school together. They caught up with each other on the way to the train station, on the train, and walk from the station to the school. Yuna told Izuku all about her training with Asta and he told her all about his training with Gran Torino, his new ability Full Cowl, and the Hosu City Incident with the Hero Killer Stain and the Nomus. Then they went their separate ways to their classes.
~Another Time Skip (4 Days)~
It was Friday, May 25 and Yuna and Izuku had just gotten home from school. They had a study session in Yuna's room and Izuku was invited to dinner by her parents. They ate then went back to Yuna's bedroom for a little while and chatted a bit.
"So are you doing anything this weekend?" Izuku asked Yuna.
"Actually I was planning on seeing Natsu on Saturday, but I'm free on Sunday." Yuna said as Izuku nodded. She hadn't seen Natsu since she brought him back home about two and a half weeks ago. She missed him.
"Okay. We'll hang out on Sunday then." Izuku said as he and Yuna continued to chat a little more until it was time for bed and Izuku went back to his apartment next door.
~Time Skip~
Early the next morning, Yuna woke up and got ready for the day. She wore a nice white sundress, a frilly choker necklace that went with it, and red heart earrings that Natsu gave her for one of her birthday presents back in the day when she lived in Earthland. Once she was dressed, she teleported to the Fairy Tail guild in search of Natsu. He was fighting with Gray as usual. He was about to throw another punch, but suddenly stopped and sniffed the air.
"Yuna!" Natsu said as he looked around the guild until he saw her. He ran over to Yuna and hugged her, picking her up and twirling around with her in his arms. She giggled as he set her down and ruffled her hair.
"Welcome back Yuna!" Natsu said with a smile as Happy and Zoey flew over to them. Zoey tackled Yuna with a hug.
"I missed you so much!" Zoey said, her eyes glassy with tears of joy. Yuna hugged the gray tabby cat back.
"I missed you too Zoey." Yuna said, picking her up and rubbing her cheek against Zoey's furry face, making her giggle.
"So what brings you back to Fairy Tail?" Natsu asked Yuna who leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"I wanted to see you again." Yuna said with a shy smile.
"You looove him." Happy teased as he put his paws over his mouth, snickering.
"Well duh. He is my boyfriend after all." Yuna said as Happy stopped snickering, his teasing not really getting to Yuna like he wanted. He was expecting her to get more flustered over it.
"Hey I was about to take a job over at the Akane Beach Resort. Their hot tub heater just broke down so they need someone to heat up the hot tub water during pool hours until they can get it fixed later today. I was gonna go alone, but then you showed up." Natsu said as Yuna thought for a moment.
"Sure I'll go on a job with you. But what would you need me for?" Yuna said.
"Well you know how I am with transportation. With your dimensional dragon slayer magic, we could get there faster without using transportation. Also, we could have fun together at the resort after pool hours." Natsu elaborated.
"Alright then. Let's go." Yuna said as she, Natsu, Happy, and Zoey left the guild hall to head to the Akane Beach and Resort.
"Dimensional Dragon's Portal!" Yuna said as she made a portal to the Akane Beach and Resort. She could only make portals to places she had been before or within her line of sight. Fortunately, she had been there before with the guild once before, so she could teleport them directly to the resort. The four of them walked through the portal and onto the sandy beach by the resort.
"See? That's much faster than taking transportation. And I don't get sick." Natsu said and Yuna nodded in agreement as they went to find the resort manager to let him know they were there for the job. When they found the manager, they showed him their guild marks and he lead them to the pool area. He explained that the maintenance man would be there at noon to fix the hot tub water heater, but would like the hot tub to be in operation because it was popular amongst the guests. And with that, he left. Natsu then stepped into the hot tub and began heating the water with his body.
"Don't you need to change into your bathing suit first?" Yuna asked Natsu.
"I forgot it. After I accepted the job, I was about to go leave and get my bathing suit. But on the way out, I got into a fight with Gray. Then you showed up and well... you know what happened from there." Natsu explained.
"Oh Natsu..." Yuna said as she sighed and shook her head, putting her hands on her hips.
"So what am I supposed to do until you're done?" Yuna asked Natsu who thought for a moment.
"Well you could go to the amusement park or the casino. Or you could take a walk on the beach. Take Happy and Zoey with you. It'll only be for a few hours." Natsu suggested as Yuna sighed again.
"Alright." Yuna said, dragging her voice with disappointment laced within her tone. She wanted to spend the day with Natsu doing something fun, not try to entertain herself on her own. She reluctantly left him behind to go to the amusement park with Happy and Zoey whom she went on various rides with.
~Time Skip~
A few hours had passed and Yuna had visited the amusement park and went for a walk on the beach. She didn't stop by the casino because gambling wasn't really her thing. She went back to the pool area to check on Natsu. He was talking to the manager and a guy wearing a maintenance coverall.
"Looks like he's done." Yuna said out loud to herself. Natsu noticed her and waved, calling out to her.
"Hey Yuna! The maintenance guy is here so I'm done with the job. The manager said we could stay longer if we want." Natsu said as he and Yuna started walking together.
"Okay. So what do you want to do then?" Yuna said as Natsu stopped in his tracks next to the pool. Yuna stopped too. He pointed towards the pool waters with his eyes.
"Natsu, I don't even have my bathing suit on. I'm wearing a dress." Yuna said, flaunting the skirt of her dress to emphasize that she wasn't in the proper attire for swimming. Natsu tilted his head to the side.
"Why should that matter? I went into the hot tub with my clothes on." Natsu said, lifting his leg and shaking the water from his soaked pants.
"Please?" Natsu said, looking at her pleadingly.
"Absolutely not. You can go swimming if you want to, but I'd rather stay nice and dry." Yuna said as Natsu crossed his arms and averted his gaze away with a pout.
"Fine." Natsu said as an awkward silence followed. Just then, he snickered mischievously and a devious smirk made its way onto his face as he looked back at Yuna.
"Don't you dare!" Yuna said, but Natsu ignored her warning and wrapped his arms around her waist and jumped backwards into the pool.
"Ack! Natsu!" Yuna yelled at Natsu, splashing water at him as he laughed. She glared at him until he stopped laughing. When he saw her glaring at him he knew what was coming so he inhaled deeply. She pounced on him, pushing him under the water. She felt a pair of strong arms grab her as he went under, so she instinctively took a deep breath as he pulled her down with him. When she opened her eyes underwater, she saw Natsu staring back at her. But it wasn't in a playful way like she expected. His gentle, kind smile warmed her heart as he looked tenderly into her teal eyes with his onyx ones. She couldn't help but smile back as she cupped his face with her hands. Closing her eyes, she pulled his face towards hers so that her forehead was touching his. They stayed like that until they ran out of breath and swam back up for air. When they resurfaced, Natsu brushed a strand of hair away from Yuna's face.
"You have no idea how much I've missed you." Natsu said as Yuna smiled.
"I missed you too." Yuna said as Natsu closed the distance between them and kissed her tenderly. Suddenly, they were interrupted by the sound of screams and panic. They got out of the pool and grabbed one of the panicking staff members running by and asked what was going on.
"Some guys in suits are going on a rampage around the resort. They said they're looking for the hidden vault for the casino. They're destroying property and killing staff members who don't know its location or anyone else who gets in their way. The problem is only a select few even know where the vault is and I'm not one of them. If I don't get out of here, I'll be among the slain!" The staff member said frantically.
"We'll take care of them. Don't you worry." Natsu said as Yuna nodded in agreement.
"But I saw how destructive these guys are with my own eyes. You'll get hurt or even killed if you go and fight them!" The staff member warned.
"Heh they sound like strong opponents. Now I'm all fired up!" Natsu said as he smashed his fist into his hand, setting his hands ablaze.
"We're Fairy Tail wizards, we'll be fine. Now go get yourself to safety and help escort guests off the premises." Yuna said as she showed the staff member the light teal Fairy Tail guild mark on her left hand. The staff member nodded and ran off, leaving Yuna and Natsu to deal with the ruffians. Just then, a group of three guys wearing fancy suits came bursting into the pool area. Despite wearing nice threads, they were clearly the ones who had been causing the chaos.
"Where do ya think the vault is?" One of the men asked. He was a brawny bald man who had a gold tooth at the front of his mouth.
"Dunno. Tear this place apart until you find it though. Kill anyone who gets in our way." A man wearing a fedora holding a gold cane said. He was definitely the leader.
"Sure thing boss." The last guy said. He was tall and slim and had black slicked back hair and wore an eye patch.
"You're not going to hurt anyone else!" Natsu yelled at the three men, catching their attention.
"We won't allow it! We'll stop you!" Yuna said loudly, frowning at the men.
"A little girl and a pink-haired guy stop us? Ha!" The bald guy scoffed.
"If you wish to throw your lives away, so be it. Get 'em boys." The man with the fedora said as he pointed his cane at Yuna and Natsu.
"With pleasure." The guy with the eye patch said as he and the bald guy engaged in an intense standoff with Yuna and Natsu.
