WITH LUCY, LEVY AND ERZA

"this years s- class trials are the hardest compared to the others, said master" said Erza.

"harder, why?" asked Levy.

"as the time progresses, the s-class missions are also getting harder, therefore, the s- class mages should also be smarter, stronger, calmer"

"so the exams will be testing our strength in heart and fist, our brains, our calm, and teamwork" said Lucy.

"exactly, also, don't either of you think that I am weaker than the others, I know that both of you will think like that. The s- class nominees are all equal" said Erza.

"but I would soo lose a fight with anyone here" said Levy.

"you don't know the answer since none of you have fought each other directly. Anyways, I'll teach you some re-quip magic today" said Erza.

Both her 'pupils' nodded.

"I am sure this would be easy for both of you, re-quip magic, is all about imagination. Both of you have an abundant supply of that, I have seen your stories" said Erza.

"when did you read my story erza?!" asked Levy.

"Levy chan! You're writing a story! Why didn't you tell me!?"

"I wanted to give you the revised edition of it" said Levy.

"then it's all right" said Lucy

"ahem, back to the point" said erza.

"yeah" said Levy.

"in re- quip magic, you should create your own magical space, it expands according to your power level, now, close your eyes" said Erza

Lucy and Levy followed her orders and closed their eyes.

"now, listen only to my voice, nothing else" both of them gave a slight nod. "good, now imagine a bubble, and make the bubble expand as much as you can"

The girls were concentrating hard, anyone can say by the look on their faces. Determined and unwavering.

Lucy's thoughts.

This is sooo hard! Bubble expand! She said to herself. "maybe doing it fast won't work, guess I have to go slow". Lucy followed her own advice and slowly expanded the bubble."I did it!" after her little joy party, she tried to fit an imaginary celestial key in it, and it fit inside with more than enough space for the rest. After a while she heard Erza's voice and opened her eyes.

Levy's thoughts

Bubble expand slowly. She thought, and it did," this is hard at first, but it gets easier as it goes" thought levy. After she expanded the bubble properly, she tried to fit her pen inside it. It fit perfectly. She expanded the bubble more to fit more of her pens, the one she wanted to fit in the most looked like a knife. Freed gave it to her once. It was the most powerful pen she had, she was able to set up quick runes with that pen. It was really helpful in her missions , that was what she considered, her lucky pen. She expanded the bubble and fit her imaginary lucky pen inside the bubble, it fit and she opened her eyes.

" you both look satisfied, I hope you created your space" asked Erza.

"yup! Now I just need to get my keys"

"it was easy! I did it so easily" said Levy.

"that's nice to hear, now comes the second part, using the bubble as a portal, Lucy, I think this should be easy for you" said Erza.

"I think"

WITH NATSU, LAXUS, FREED AND GAJEEL

"this year's s-class exams will be hard for natsu and gajeel, but, Freed, you have a high chance of passing" said Laxus.

"I am honored to hear that from you Laxus!" said Freed while hugging Laxus.

"isn't he being partial?" asked Gajeel.

"oh yaaah" said Natsu.

"I can only help you guys expand your magical container, I want to give equal practice to all of you. I can't concentrate on three people at once, so we are making schedule. All of us meet here at 4 am sharp" said Laxus.

"that's a good joke Laxus, now tell us the real schedule" said Gajeel

"after you came back to the guild from expulsion you've got a good sense of humour" said Natsu.

"I am dead serious, 4 am, no breakfast and you will all be doing meditation" said Laxus.

"this is part of Laxus's training, it's very effective" said Freed.

"if that's what it takes to be s- class" said Natsu.

"we- we'll do it! For the sake of s- class!" said Gajeel.

"for our pride!"

"you 2 are making a big deal out of this" said Laxus

WITH MIRA, GRAY, JUVIA AND ELFMAN

Mira had shifted into her demon form.

"you 3! You will follow this diet and exercise routine seriously! You'll also be having team practices and many other activities are to come. Anyone who defies me 'smirk' you can ask elfman about his childhood experiences, I am sure they would be fun, if you listen to me, well, everyone gets a cookie and s- class position" said Mira.

" HAI!"said all three together

"Mira's back to her demonic self" whispered Gray to Elfman.

"k-kowaii" said Juvia shivering.

With this, 3 groups started their training, though it was torturous, painful and all of them were desperate to get over with this, the 3 s- class mages forced them into the "training" (more like hell said levy). Hope they have luck and survive through this ( are these the s- class trials itself and not training!?, but nobody told us" thought lucy " it isn't" said me)

And so, 2 months later(that was fast " guh, lazy author" told Lucy, "I'll do something bad to you in this story if you defy me" says me" I love your stories author!")

All of the 8 nominees were all fired up, as Natsu would say( people are stealing my punch lines).

They were standing outside Fairy Paradise, with all their bags and stuff(you get it right)

"I am so happy that the training is over" said Lucy.

"y-you said, I am so Happy, HAPPY!" cried Natsu. "i-it's all right, we'll meet him today, cheer up! You don't want Happy to see you crying, do you?" asked Lucy.

"no"

"then smile! We'll be over with this before you know it" said Lucy, there were sparkles and roses around her, weird.

"Lu- chan is, good with consoling people" said Levy

"LILLY! I want to see you and your stiff accent!" cried Gajeel.

'this is my chance to show that I am also good with consoling people and making them happy!' thought Levy

"Gajeel, it's all right, we'll see him in no time, and for the rest of your lives, you would be together with him and you'll do everything a boy and a cat can do" said Levy, trying her best to create the ' calming atmosphere'.

"really?"

"yup!"

"pinky promise?" p-pinky promise? Who is this person and where is Gajeel, hiding in a hole or something?

"uh, yeah, pinky promise!" said Levy.

"All right shrimp, I can trust you with panther lilly, now let's get back to our usual lives" said Gajeel.

"I consoled you from your stupid whining and you go back to calling me shrimp!?" asked Levy

Juvia, was observing all of this, Natsu and Lucy, Gajeel and Levy, so now, it's her turn to console her Gray- sama!.

"Gray sama! We'll be back, don't worry, everything's going to be all right" said Juvia, trying a bit too hard to create Lucy and Levy's atmosphere.

"what?" asked Gray.

"you have someone or something you miss in the guild right, so, I am trying to console you Gray sama" said Juvia

' how did she know that I miss Mira's Ul ice creams? She's such a nice person' thought Gray.

"thanks, Juvia" said Gray.

"ahhh! Gray sama thanked Juvia" and with that, Juvia is off to her dreamland.

Laxus, Mira and Erza arrived while this commotion was going on.

"The ship will arrive in half an hour due to some….. delays, until then, we're waiting outside" said Mira

"why outside?" asked Freed.

"the reservation's for the Fairy Paradise was only made for 2 months, so we can't stay inside for more than a second" said Laxus

"what do you mean, reserved, doesn't our guild own this?" asked Elfman

"yeah, but, it's for public service, so, we can't really have it" said Erza.

"well that sucks" said Natsu.

HALF AN HOUR LATER( got lazy again)

"oh look, the ship's here!" said Mira

It was, it was far away, but it would take a maximum of 5 minutes to get here when you see it's speed.

"Now, the moment you reach there, we'll give you rules for the competition, the whole of magnolia is the s-class exams ground" said Erza

"like hidden in GMG?" asked Elfman.

"no, during the 2 months, we…. Modified the city." Said Laxus

"Modified meaning?" asked Lucy

"hold your horses blondie, you'll see when you get there" said Laxus

"you are blonde too, so shut up!" yelled Lucy

"I am s-class"

"I am about to be s- class"

"we'll see about that"

"OI! GET ON BOARD!" yelled Master who was inside the ship

"you heard the munchkin, get on board" said Laxus

" I heard you! No Fairy Tail for you!" yelled Master

"I don't want to be the ruler of idiots!"

"you are one of the idiots!"

"you 2 zip it and get on board" said Mira

"yeah yah whatever" said Laxus and went to the ship.

ON BOARD

"Lucy! Out with the troia ! now!" yelled Natsu

"say please moron!
"I am serious, out with it"

"wait wait, I'll check in my bag" said Lucy and went to her bag, she started searching, but after a minute of searching. Lucy looked, shocked….

"Lucy, what happened?" asked Natsu

"i-I left it" said Lucy

"how can you! I am going to die!" yelled Natsu

"gosh, you are a drama queen, here you go puppy" said Lucy throwing the troia tablet.

"treat me with more respect or I'll burn your letters" said Natsu taking In the tablet

"and I'll push you off a train when you don't have troia" said Lucy

"have you been hanging out with lissana?" asked Natsu

"almost every minute I get free from you and Happy" said Lucy

"stay away from her, she has the grimoire heart" whispered Natsu

"did I hear you say something.. Natsu" asked Mirajane

"uh- umh" stuttered Natsu.

"idiot " said Lucy and walked towards Levy who was with Gajeel.

"so Levy, what's going on, why are you with Gajeel, won't you try your best to stay away from him?" asked Lucy

"I am standing right here you know" said Gajeel

"oh, I am making him my servant for this trip" said Levy

"umh, how?" asked Lucy

"the trioia, give me a lot of it, I need to get him to do a lot of things for me, he is such a good maid you know" said Levy

"I am a guy! Don't call me maid!" yelled Gajeel

"are you defying me by any chance, Gajeel kun?" asked Levy, her eyes turned red?

"it's, um, no ma'am!"

"good, I don't want my little minion going out of control do I ?"

"no you don't"

"I want you to read this book for me, with emotions" said Levy giving him a VERY big book

Gajeel opened it and….

"this is filled with crap about romance! Give me some action!" yelled Gajeel.

"shut up and read!" yelled Levy

"h-hai!"

" gosh, Levy" giggled Lucy

2hours Later

"We have arrived!" said Master, the ship had separate rooms for every member, they were all in their rooms, the first one to come out was Freed and Juvia.

"what the" said Freed as he saw Magnolia from the ship

"what is this?" asked Juvia shocked.

Lucy Levy and Elfman came out followed by Natsu Gray and Gajeel.

"THE HELLLL!" yelled all of them together.

"I knew this was going to be their reaction" said Laxus.

Why the were reacting like this? the whole of Magnolia was changed into something like pandemonium of GMG. Except, 100 times larger.

"welcome to Magnolia! Kids!" said Master.
