This is my first story.

So I would like to thank the people who read it since I've edited this chapter and so as the rest(until ch 3 since I stopped there). I didnt edit much so it would be the same. So, enjoy the story :D

Lucy sighed. How long has she been here? Year and a half, or maybe more? She doesn't know, but remembers all her fun missions with her teammates. Being kidnapped and saved by a pink haired salamander but only got motion sickness and chased down by the soldiers due to the damage he created? Lucy laughed at the memory.

She went to the bar and sat down at her usual spot and ordered a strawberry milkshake. While into daze, she heard a ruckus, "Oi pink head!" Lucy turned her head towards the noise. "Who are you calling a pink head popsicle?!" She saw a raven head boy who was half naked and a pink haired salamander. "Gray and Natsu are at it again arent they?" Lucy look back to the counter. "Ah Mira." The white haired woman smiled and gave Lucy her strawberry milkshake. She gave thanks and chatted with her.

Somehow the topic ended to Gray, and about how he strips most of the time. "Well, it is natural for him to strip since he's an ice mage," Mira said while laughing softly. Lucy just sighed thinking about that habit then heard a colliding sound of two heads and immediately knew who it came from. "Ara, it looks like Erza is back from her mission," Lucy looked towards the armoured girl, "Gotta go Lucy. I need to grab her strawberry cake." With that, Mira left with a smile.

-X-X-X-X-

"Fuwah... Ahh feels nice." Lucy sighed happily as she took a shower, "it sure is relaxing to be in your place." She hummed.

"It's a nice place."

"Isn't it?"

She froze and looked at the source of the voice. "Maybe I should come live here too..." Lucy screamed and covered herself. It was Cana Alberona, in her bath tub. Who knew she could be sneaky? As she calmed down, they both sat there inside and Cana seemed a bit off.

"What's wrong?"

"Nah it's nothing."

It was silent.

"Do you usually get two in a bath together?"

"Do you normally barge into people's houses?" Lucy exclaimed softly. Cana just sighed and Lucy asked again if there was something wrong. Again it was silent until Cana stood up, "I'm... Thinking of leaving the guild." Lucy thought she misheard but she heard it loud and clear. "EHHHHHH?!"

Lucy slammed her fist on the counter.

"Is what she said!" Lucy exclaimed as she talked with Mira who gave a small chuckle, "Don't worry, she always says that at this time of year." Lucy was confused and a rampage went started behind her. Not because of fights but of everyone dashing to the mission board and going to Mira for the approval. Lucy ducked under the counter trying not to get squished. "What the heck is going on?" At least she manage to talk. She heard swords clashing and saw Erza and Panther Lily sparring. She stared on awe on the speed and strength. Lucy gave an irritated look, "People are rushing for missions while some are just doing things they normally do. What is actually going on?" Mira shuffled through the papers, "Oh you'll find out tomorrow."

It was crowded and everyone seemed exited except for Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Juvia, Gajeel, and Lily. "Finally, the secrets revealed." Lucy muttered. "Everyone listen up!" All heads turned to Master Makarov and beside him were Mira and Erza. Surprisingly, the whole guild was silent immediately and Makarov started speaking. "Ahem, since long ago this has been Fairy Tails custom and now," there was silence and Lucy was dying to know, "the announcement of the participants in the S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial!" Everyone cheered loudly, "S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial?!" Lucy couldn't believe it. She heard Natsu say, "Im all fired up." Excitement grew inside her as she waited to hear the participants. "The venue for this years trial is, Tenrou Island. Our guilds holy ground." Everyone yet again cheered loudly almost hearing it a mile away. "What will the trial be?" Lucy asked.

"It's different every year." said a random person.

"The fact that is hard doesn't change though!" Said another.

"If you win, you will become an S-Class mage!" And there was Ai.

"Strength... Heart... Soul... I've been watching for each of these things in these pass years," master continued, "there will be eight participants!" He took a big breath.

"Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu raised his fist.

"Gray Fullbuster!" He have a grin.

"Juvia Lockster!" Juvia was surprised.

"Elfman Straus!" He started saying about being a man.

"Cana Alberona!" Lucy noticed that she didn't seem to be exited.

"Fried Justine!" He nodded.

"Levi Macgarden!" She jumped on Lucy and cheered.

"Mest Gryder!" Lucy stopped. She repeated that name and looked at him. "Mest Gryder?" Thought Lucy, "That's odd, I haven't seen him before..." She looked around and everyone hasn't questioned about it. Lucy eyes him carefully. "I should know him for a long time but... Who exactly are you Mest?" She muttered. Unknown to her, a certain white cat was looking at her.

"There are new people here so let me explain the rules." Master looked at Mira and she nodded, "Under one week, those of you who had been chosen must find a partner." Everyone started whispering. "There are two rules," said Erza, " One, the parter has to be a Fairy Tail member. Two, it cannot be an S-Class mage."

"So Mira, Erza and Gildarts are not chosen." Said Lily with arms cross. "Yeah! If your with Erza then you would be unbeatable!" Giggled Wendy.

"The details will be said tomorrow but Erza will stop you from proceeding ahead."

"What?!"

"You mean we have to fight her?!"

"That's insane!"

Mira raised her hand, "I'll also be a trouble maker this year." She smiled happily. Everyone started whining which was stopped by Gildarts. "Quit whining. This is a path that all S-Class mage should take."

"Your kidding..." Said Elfman

"No way." Happy dropped down

"Gildarts is taking part too?!" A happy Natsu said.

"Don't be happy!" Gray screamed at him.

Master nodded, "then after choosing partners, we will meet at Hargeon Port within a week." And all three of them left the stage.

Natsu ended up with Happy. Of course they have been together for a long time so that was not surprising. Though what surprise Lucy was Grey's partner was Loke. Her own spirit. Juvia wanted to be partners with Gray but both of them were chosen. Lisanna grabbed Juvias hand, "Don't worry Juvia! Ill be your partner! I've been good friends with the Edolas Juvia." She stood up, "And this Juvia, she's pretty cute! Ill help you become an S-Class mage so you can count on me!"

"Lisanna! I wanted to be your partner!" Elfman Exclaimed. "Oh? Don't worry you already have one waiting." Lisanna pointed to a certain green haired woman. It was Evergreen. "Shes been giving you a heated stare for a while now ya know? Its because that Fried chose Bixlow to be his partner instead of her." Elfman looked at her with a frightful face,"Heated?! Her looks can turn you to stone!" Lucy shrugged from the memory when Everygreen turned her into stone.

-X-X-X-X-

Lucy was on her way to her apartment, it was snowing and freezing. There was her spirit walking with her, Plue. "Uwa, look at the snow!" She looked up and twirled. "So it also snows here in Magnolia huh?" While being distracted from the snow she caught a glimpse of something on the alley to her right. She paused and looked carefully with shocked face, "Where the hell do you think your fainting at?!"

After dragging the thing she saw to her apartment, Lucy stared at her companion.

"Cana, what's wrong with you fainting at a cold place like that?! You could've been dead if it weren't for me!" Cana was covered in thick blankets while Lucy was making some hot chocolate. Cana went into daze and laughed, "Sorry sorry... You see, this test," Lucy looked at her carefully waiting for the reason, "I've failed this test four times already." Lucy gave her the hot chocolate, "What? Who cares how many times you fail?" Cana shook her head.

"I'm the only one who failed four times."

"Then there's always next ye-"

Cana stood up making Lucy almost drop her own drink. "Because I have to become one!" She yelled, "I, if I don't become one, I can't meet that person." She sat back down with a sad expression. Lucy felt odd, not surprise from the sudden out burst but she felt something breaking inside of her.

She could now barely hear what Cana was saying and went into daze. Cana's anger, sadness and confusion seemed to pull Lucy inside. "Lucy? Oi are you listening?" She snapped out of it and laughed nervously. "Y-yeah I think."

There was silence. But for some reason, Lucy needed to go on Tenrou Island. She had too no matter what. "Cana," she started and looked at her with a serious face and grabbed her hand, "I will help you. Ill make you an S-Class Mage no matter what. I may not seem strong enough but trust me on this. Please let me be your partner." Cana looked up, "Lucy... Will you actually help me?" She nodded in response.

Tears filled Cana's eyes and pulled Lucy to an embrace. But unknown to Cana that Lucy was only thinking of getting on that Island. Realizing what she was thinking she felt guilty and hugged the crying girl tighter. How could she think like that? "Wait... Who is the person?" Cana let go of Lucy. She was still crying and she started speaking. "I..."

-X-X-X-X-

It was the day of the S-Class promotion and as soon Lucy stepped on the ship, she felt a burning sensation in her stomach. The sun was up and the heat was making it worse. Lucy carefully sat down on a chair and good thing she was in her swimsuit. She haven't been feeling good as soon as she stepped in and making it worse, as the ship moved and tilted side to side. Her head was spinning and she felt like throwing up. She looked at everyone and they were not in the same condition except of being hot. Only Natsu was.

She saw him throwing up on the edge and she felt an urge to do the same. Standing up shakily to the front she saw the Island. As soon as it came contact to her, she felt death around her. "Cold..." She was shivering and everyone didn't notice anything. The island had a big looking trunk in the middle with another island piece on top of it. It was big and everyone was cheering. She eyed it carefully until the ship stopped moving.

"It's said that fairies used to live on that island." Lucy turned and saw Master, "and Fairy Tails first master, Mavis Vermilion sleeps here." Lucy's eyes perked up to the Island. "Mavis..." She heard that name before. She felt something breaking and cracking inside of her. It hurts so much and clench her fists. "What's happening..." She can only whisper. She didn't have strength to talk of move but only stand. She could only hear the waves and the Island calling. "No. Not the island... 'Someone' is calling me." She shivered. She looked around everyone.

Natsu was with Happy, Gray was with Loki, Lisanna with Juvia, Elfman and Evergreen, Fried and Bixlow, Levi and Gajeel. She looked at the next pair and it was Wendy and, "Mest Gryder." She gave a glare, something about that guy made her cautious. "NOW LETS BEGIN! EXAM STARTS NOW!" She was startled and realized everyone started moving. Happy flew Natsu up until he was stopped by an invisible wall. "Huh?! A Rune?!" Lucy thought about something and dragged Cana at the side of the ship where they wouldn't be seen.

"Lucy what are you doing?! People might be ahead of us already!" Cana was trying to pull her but the grip was too tight. "I don't know either but we can get out of here." She held the rune wall and concentrated her magic on it. A hole just enough for both of them opened it. Cana made a low whistle who was simply impressed and curious, "Didn't know you studied Rune magic..."

Lucy shrugged as if she had done it many times and grabbed Cana's hand, and through the open gap.

Woot! This Chapter has been edited and I'll make it...somehow longer but meh. Thanks for reading guys!
