It was the day after Lucy had received the 'Best New Author' prize. She had her head down on the table of the bar of the Fairy Tail guild.
"Uhhh, there's nothing to do!" She groaned.
"Why not get a job?" Mirajane asked.
"All the jobs are taken up!" Lucy replied. "Since the S-class trials are a couple of days away, everyone has taken away all the jobs."
"Oh, that's right. In fact, except for a few people no one's here." Mirajane stated. Only Lucy, Mirajane, Cana, Levy, Juvia and Lisanna were there in the guild.
"I bet Lucy's upset just because Natsu went out without her." Cana stated, while throwing her arm around Lucy's shoulder. Lucy blushed and jumped out of her chair, as red as a tomato.
"I do not like him!" She shouted.
"Uh-huh, sure, is that what you thought when you laid on him while both of you were naked?" Cana replied with a smirk on her face. All the girls in the guild immediately turned around with shocked faces and stared at Lucy.
"I-I-It's not what you think! H-His temperature was really low so Porlyusica told me to do that so that he could be warm and wait who told you I did that?!" Lucy frantically replied.
"First of all, it was Happy. Second of all, tell us honestly do you like Natsu?" Cana questioned.
"Well it's pretty clear that she likes Natsu, I mean he is quite reckless but he has a really cute side as well!" Lisanna stated , her face turning dreamy, "Love is very important in one's life Lucy-san and also stay away from Gray" Juvia said, Levy and Mira both said, "I think the two of you would make a great couple!"
Lucy began to speak, "I-I." Just then all the other guild members entered the guild. Soon after the guild became overcome with noise and excitement. Eventually Makarov stood on top of the bar and shouted at the top of his lungs, "ALL OF YOU IDIOTS SHUT UP!" The guild became quieter. "That's better" he continued, "I am here to announce something." The atmosphere suddenly changed, there was tension where there was happiness, anxiety in place of enthusiasm and above all, the guild was completely silent.
"He's going to announce the wizards who'll be participating in the S-Class trials this year." Lucy thought to herself.
"I know all of you are anxious to know which wizards will be offered the chance to move to S-Class this year so without further ado" All the wizards leaned their heads forward in anticipation, "I hereby announce that there will be no S-Class trials this year!"
