Team Natsu was currently working at a new restaurant called 8 Island in Hargeon as a direct result of Lucy asking everyone for help. Yu was working at the cafe dressed as a waiter, as a decision by the owner and managers of the shop, Yajima. Who wanted to try Yu's memory cake recipe and ask him to teach it to him so he can make it for himself.

Yu: "Why am I dressed up like this again?"

Lucy: "Because I need help earning money for rent."

Yu: "You should've thought about rent before it was due."

Lucy: "S-shut up and start working!"

Yu: "Yeah yeah."

The doorbell rang and a group of ladies came through the door. Yu went to meet them with a slight bow and a gentle smile.

Yu: "Welcome! Please, take a seat mistresses. Shall I take any coats for you all as well?"

Almost instantly, the ladies were starstruck with heart eyes as they handed their coats to Yu to go hang up. Afterward, Yu went to go take the lady's orders.

Yu: "Now, what shall you ladies be having today?"

Yu said this as gently as he could almost causing the ladies to scream out of their newfound crush on their waiter.

Lady 1: "I-I'll have some tea."

Ladies: "Make that all of us!"

Yu: "Right away, I'll be back with your tea mistresses."

Yu walked away from the table while the girls began to swoon away at Yu and noticed that Lucy was yelling at a near-nude Gray about something and that Natsu was about to start eating another customer's order. Quietly, he snuck up behind Natsu and chopped him on the head. Happy and Ren were going around in small suits carrying drinks.

Yu: "How many times do I have to tell you not to eat the food you're serving?"

Natsu: "S-sorry, it just looks so good..."

Erza: "I know you boys want something, so just tell me~"

Erza was nearly sitting on a table as she was taking orders from a group of men. Exciting them, a lot.

Men: "We'll take one of everything!"

Happy: "That's one way of giving service."

Timeskip

The work shift was over and Team Natsu was sitting outside of the restaurant. Yajima, the owner of the restaurant and an ex-member of the magic council was sitting outside in front of them eating a delicious memory lane pastry Yu serve him.

Yajima: "I must say, I'm most surprised at all of your hard work. You are all welcome here anytime."

Erza: "Thank you, this was a valuable experience."

Gray: "Now I know how tired Mirajane feels after serving food all day."

Natsu: "And how full she must be."

Lucy: "She doesn't eat the food she's supposed to serve like you do Natsu!

Yu: "By the way, how is the council doing?"

Yajima: "Well I did retire some time ago."

Natsu and Gray: "The Magic Council?!"

Lucy: "Did you two forget that he used to be a part of the council?"

Yajima: "Anyway, after that Zellal fellow, or was it Hellal?"

Erza: "You mean Jellal?"

Yajima: "Ah, yes. After that Jellal fellow conspired with that interloper Ultear to destroy the Magic Council, I left afterward. I'm just not cut out for politics. Although, I have heard rumors that someone is trying to reestablish the magic council."
