LUCY. Four letters, one word and one meaning…

FEAR.

"I found you Natsu!" Lucy opened the door wider crouching down the dark cupboard underneath the stairs of Fairy Tail's guild.

Gray crawled pleadingly towards Lucy with his hands and knees sweeping the ants crawling beneath him, "Please Luce, I beg you let us go, I'll polish your keys, I will help your lovelife-'

Lucy shoved her hand towards Gray's face and shyly glanced towards Natsu, "I already have someone in mind."

Natsu stupidly didn't recognise the tension and exclaimed, "Lisanna! Lisanna! Help me!"

Lucy's eyes enraged with fire, clenched her fists, flared her nostrils and took two steps back from Natsu and Gray. Lucy pulled the ribbon from her neatly done ponytail, letting her blonde hair flow in the wind.

It was Lucy.

The kind, nagging, hard-working Lucy, turned into a so-called, 'MONSTER'.

Lucy would give you two life choices, one… life..
or…DEATH.

The doors of the guild suddenly slammed open causing the thunderous winds to enter the guild and abruptly lift up Lucy's skirt. However Lucy did not notice and had her eyes locked onto the heavens above.

Lucy screamed, 'LISANNA READY OR NOT HERE I COME!'

-flashback-

Master came forward and grabbed the attention of everyone in the guild by randomly shouting, 'I love cheese!'

Waa, this grandpa is insane - Natsu thought.

Erza paced up and down the benches of where everyone was sitting down and did her daily routine thinking, 'step, step, breathe, breathe, glare *pause*, stop natsu and gray from fighting, beat up natsu and gray, step, skip, hop, breathe, breathe -heard Master- waa grandpa what is it now? -_-'

'We are going to have the biggest mission all together! It requires... patience, nerves of steel, a strong heart and maturity!' Exclaimed Master.

Everyone was really excited and in unison shouted, 'WHAT IS IT!'

'But before I tell you the actual mission, I will warn you that the mission will cause you to go against your own teams and your own friends so be careful to be not be too dangerous. So here are the teams.' Master passed a piece of tea stained rolled up parchment and handed it to Happy. Happy flew to the mission board,'here is one of the teams!' Happy unraveled the piece of parchment and pinned up against the board.

Everyone rushed hurriedly towards the board that read:

Team 1:

Natsu

Gray

Lisanna

Erza

Elfman

Team 2:

Lucy

Wendy

Mirajane

Cana

Juvia

'So let's commence the Running Tail Games!' shouted Master.
