Chapter 2

I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL, THAT HONOR GOES TO HIRO MASHIMA.

A/N

Thanks for reading! All your reviews are making me want to write more (And I feel all warm and fizzy, like after drinking hot chocolate! :) )! I edited chapter 1 after realizing there was a couple of mistakes. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated, sadly, I didn't really think about what was going to happen after the beginning so, now I'm stuck... By the way, anybody want to beta read? No? I shouldn't push me luck? Fine... Please review!

Scoreboard!

Thoughts of anonymous:

Love. What is this intangible thing people talk about?

So priceless, yet, so easily taken away.

The notion of true love is stringer than any magic;

it's such a beautiful and miraculous thing, yet, it can strip you until you are vulnerable,

creating catastrophic wars, making friends enemies.

How can something so pure and rare be so cataclysmic?

Is true love even real?

Is the prize worth the risk?

STING'S P.O.V.

Hoover Dam. I got up, eyes still looking at the retreating Blonde's back, and-

"You lllike her!" Lector announced loudly, rolling his tongue.

(Somewhere on the water park, probably within 1 foot of Carla (I've seen both Carla and Charle, please tell me the correct 1!)Happy sneezed, while Carla sniffed disdainfully, walking away.(1))

I heard Yukino chuckle as I stormed off, but not before hollering back to Lector,"I don't like Blondie! Jesus, tell the whole world, why don't you?" Where'd he pick that up, anyways? Cats these days...

"Sting! The 1st step to solving the problem is to accept it!" Yukino shouted back, "Besides, telling the whole world means that you DO lllike her!" Damn it.

Wiht Lucy and Natsu, 3rd person P.O.V.

"Yo, Luce! I got your boring strawberry ice cream!" Natsu yelled, while holding a heavily decorated Banana Split, with rainbow sparkles, caramel candies, M&Ms, and a large helping of Tabasco sauce. "You owe me 50 jewels!" (A/N Inflation, I guess... Lucy's apartment is 70,000 a month!)

"Natsu, you baka(idiot), I don't owe you anything! I pay for one-fourth of the cost of damages, when I almost never break anything! & who's the one who breaks into my house, nearly every night, without paying any rent!?'' Lucy questioned. But, it is easier to fall asleep in his arms than by myself...

Just then, Flare walked by, viewing the world with a tilt to her head. The what-looks-in-Flare's-opinion-to-be-sideways celestial mage's blood ran cold. Flare...

Flare humbly strolled toward the 2 mages, with her head looking down. "Ehmm... Blondie, I'm sorry I used your guild mate like that... I hope you can forgive me..." Flare said.

Natsu growled, but Lucy held an arm out in front of him, stopping him from attacking the red head. She noticed that Flare's hair was curling all over the place, attracting onlookers and fellow mages alike. "It's okay, Flare. I-I accept your apology, I know that Ivan told you to, and gave you the wrong ideas about this world. Fairy Tail and all the other guilds are very fun, why don't you join one?" Lucy asked.

"Thank you, Blondie, for forgiving me so easily. I probably will join another guild, but first, (A/N lemme take a selfie!)I'm going to go meet up with my un-biological parent figures, tell them how I'm doing. Bye! I will see you again, maybe not next year, but the year after. Let's fight again!" And with that, the red head disappeared, leaving nothing but a strand of crimson hair behind. Eww

Lucy's P.O.V.

By this time, Natsu had already forgotten about Flare and was chowing down everything edible, listening to Happy telling the employees he worked here, therefore, he should get free fish, preferably the rare ones at the aquarium. From what I overheard as she was joining them, was that Happy, Carla, Pantherlily, Levy, and Gajeel were all eaten by a humongous fish, oh the irony, a fish that would've taken Happy a day to finish, if he wasn't eaten and spat back out like a fish bone. Just then, Sting's exceed, Lector, walked past, overhearing Happy's story.

"Ha! If the amazing and awesome Sting was there, he would've beat the fish, you self-disrespecting exceed! You are a cat. You eat fish, not the other way around!" Lector proclaimed. "Sting even beat his own dragon, a fish wouldn't stop him!" Ohhh. That crossed the line.

I lunged for the puny cat. "How dare you talk about killing a dragon in front of Natsu, when he's been looking for his for a year! And Natsu beat Sting! You have nothing to brag about, Fairy Tail won the Gran Magic Games!"

Now it was Natsu's turn to hold me back. It's okay, Luce. Old habits die hard, I know that Weisslogia wanted Sting to kill him. WTF?!

Before Natsu could explain, Carla spoke, quite coldly. "Exceeds and cats are only very distantly related. Less so than a lion and a house cat." You tell him, Carla! I don't think Lector heard a word she said, he was staring at Carla with hearts all around him. Happy's got competition!

"You lllike her!"I said, copying the Happy. Frosch popped out of nowhere, saying,"Frosch thinks so, too!" KAWAII!I, apparently, wasn't the only one to notice a change in Lector's demeanor, Happy pushed Carla behind him, protectively, as Natsu did to me many times looked like a territorial dog. "And, not all cats like fish, Carla prefers other food." Happy growled. Awww, it's a love triangle between exceeds!

Natsu turned to me, "I have good hearing, remember? Don't tell me you forgot, you weirdo. Right when we were going to fight those dragons, I heard Sting confess. S'okay, as long as Sting didn't wanna harm Weiss." Weiss!? Like Luce, but Weiss?! "Plus, Sting's different now, Lector's just used to braggin' about Sting." Natsu continued. When'd he grow up?!

Sting walked over here, picking up Lector. "Sorry Natsu-san, Blondie!"

"How come Natsu get's a -san, but I don't?" I interrupted."And, Blondie has a name you know!"

" 'Cuz I'm cooler than you" Natsu replied. Uhh, Hell no!

"Sorry, Barbie." Sting apologized.

"It's Lucy," I replied, coldly.

"Yeah, yeah, Luigi." He mumbled.

"I thought Dragon Slayers were supposed to have GOOD hearing." I mumbled under my breath.

"We do! I just conveniently choose not to use it, some of the time." He said.

"Jerk" I whispered, so he couldn't hear.

"I heard that, too, you know. At least I'm a sexy jerk." He shot back

"As if! You were the one all over me when we went down the Love-Love Slide!"

"Whoaa, Luce, you went down the slide with this bastard?"Natsu interrupted, heatedly. (A/N no pun intended!) Shit, I probably shouldn't have admitted that.

"Jealous, Natsu-san"Sting replied, mockingly. Weren't they getting along just great, a few seconds ago?

"As if, playboy" Natsu said.

"Flame-head!"

"Light-bulb"

"Pyro"

"Firefly, I could probably do anything better than you." Sting proclaimed.

"Huh, didn't seem like that when we fought, playboy." Natsu threw back. "You want some ice on that burrrrnn?"

"Not many creative insults left, huh? You think you could pick up more girls than me? Sting arrogantly questioned. He doesn't know what he's gonna get himself into...

I chuckled. "Maybe not Natsu, but I probably have waaay better pick up lines than that thing-of-a-brain of yours could possibly think up!"

(Cue the music!)

Dun, Dun, DUUUNNN!

Until next time!
