Lucy panicked, and stumbled into the cave. Memoria looked a little too innocent.

''Memoria! There's-"

A fireball singed the left half of her hair. She shrieked, and barely dodged the stream of poison that burned through the right half of her hair. Soon enough, she was dodging wind, fire, poison, water, etc.

''Stop causing a racket out there!" Memoria yelled, causing the attacks to stop, and Lucy collapsed.

''Mem-san, gomenesai! We saw this weird chick standing at the doorway to the cave!" a voice called out.

Twenty or so people came out. They all looked like a bunch of elements.

Memoria clapped her hands, ''Great! Everybody's here! Like I said, I found two students with a high amount of potential. I want you all to teach them!"

They all nodded, and one man with bright red hair stepped up, ''Lucy. I'm Igneel. You know my son, correct?"

Lucy nodded, grimacing at the thought of Natsu.

''I want to say that I'm sorry for his behavior. He can be quite dense..." Igneel said, and scratched his head.

''It's fine..." Lucy murmured.

Memoria cracked her knuckles, ''Let's get started.''

''And let's get running!" Shizumi whispered.

..:Four Years Later:..

..:Sabertooth:..

It was a few months away from the Grand Magic Games, and everyone was getting excited. But unlike Fairy Tail, it was a calmed excitement, that is, until the door was obliterated.

''Ah... Gomenesai...'' two feminine voices yelled.

Sting immediately felt the familiar scent of strawberries and vanilla, and the unfamiliar scent of peppermint and basil.

''Idiot. You're the one that used Crash!"

''Me?! It was you!"

The two voices were bickering on and on. Jiemma's voice boomed through the room.

''Whats going on?!"

The two voices stopped immediately, two figures stepped out.

''Ohayo! I'm Lucy Heartfilia, and this is Shizumi Akanashi!" Lucy introduced themselves.

''I can introduce my self, baka!" Shizumi grumbled.

''Shut up you stupid choco head."

''You wanna go..?!''

''Enough!''

The two shut up immediately.

''Why are you here?!"

Shizumi rolled her eyes, ''I think it's obvious you old asshole, we're here to join Sabertooth!"

Sting held his breath, waiting for her to be crushed, instead, Jiemma started laughing.

''It's nice to have somebody with that type of attitude! You're in!''

Lucy smiled at her brand new grey guild mark, placed right on her left shoulder.

''Oi Blondie! Fight me!" Sting yelled.

Shizumi sweatdropped, ''Not a good idea..."

Lucy cracked her knuckles, ''Alright, gimme your best shot!"

''Roar of of the White Dragon!"

Lucy chuckled, and ate his attack.

''Look, if that's all you got, then forget about fighting.'' she said, and checked her nails.

Everyone's mouths dropped, including Sting.

''How the hell are you able to eat my attack...?!"

''Simple. You never killed Weisslogia. Therefore, you aren't a 'true' dragon slayer.'' Lucy explained, ''But you don't have to kill a dragon in order to become a dragon slayer. I met Weisslogia in my training. He taught me everything you didn't learn.'' Lucy said, and smirked, ''So I suggest you back down. Now.''

Sting stubbornly refused.

Lucy sighed, and then used her attack, ''Roar of the Shadow Dragon!"

Sting was completely engulfed in shadows, and immediately knocked out.

Rogue. Completely stunned.

''Shizumi~I don't feel like wasting my magic power... can you please heal him?" Lucy asked.

''Why do I have to clean up your shit?"

A vein popped onto her head, ''And why do I have to let you live?!"

Shizumi smirked, ''So you can keep kissing my ass.''

Two veins.

Cue killer aura.

''Roar of the Shadow Dragon!"

''Lucy, this is a battle of physical prowess, don't waste your magic power. Or I'll be cleaning up your shit once again.''

Let's just say a certain guild hall was obliterated in the process...

..:Fairy Tail:..

Natsu waited once again for Lucy to come back. He felt awful, and wanted to apologize almost more than anything. Almost. The thing wanted over anything else, was her. He wanted her. For a long time, he wanted her, it was almost psychotic. He loved every part of her, and he would continue to.

He then sighed, knowing it was a small chance that he would ever get to see her again. Fear flashed in his eyes... what if she died?

No, that wasn't possible. Even if he had kicked her out.. he wouldn't let her die.

Would he?
