Chapter 4

"Baby when we're touching in the dark, can you feel it?
I can hear the pounding of my heart, can you feel it?
When you take my body to the stars, I believe it
Boy this love is supernatural, can you feel it?"

Lucy sang. They were surprised she could sing, which Lucy found very offensive. They didn't even know this girl could dance, as they had seen her at her clumsiness, but she was graceful with it.

"Come, take me by the hand
Wanna cross the line, baby go ahead
Till the morning light, watch my silhouette
'Cause you know tonight, we're gonna wake the dead

Get a little bit wrong, get a little bit wild
Get a little bit high off of this love tonight
Get a little bit raw, come a little undone
Get a little bit reckless, I can't get enough

Baby when we're touching in the dark, can you feel it?
I can hear the pounding of my heart, can you feel it?
When you take my body to the stars, I believe it
Boy this love is supernatural, can you feel it?

Come, take me in the night
I feel it in my blood, want the darker side
Baby when we touch, look me in the eyes
Poison me with love, I'll bring you back to life

Get a little bit wrong, get a little bit wild
Get a little bit high off of this love tonight
Get a little bit raw, come a little undone
Get a little bit reckless, I can't get enough

Baby when we're touching in the dark, can you feel it?
I can hear the pounding of my heart, can you feel it?
When you take my body to the stars, I believe it
Boy this love is supernatural, can you feel it?

Boy this love is-
Su-per-nat-ur-ral

Baby when we're touching in the dark...
I can hear the pounding of my heart...

Baby when we're touching in the dark, can you feel it?
I can hear the pounding of my heart, can you feel it?
When you take my body to the stars, I believe it
Boy this love is supernatural, can you feel it?"

As Lucy finished singing and her little - not really little - dance, her friends bombarded her with questions. She swore it felt like a stampede of animals currently ambushing her. She never sang in front of her friends before, the only person she sang with or for was for her mother and maid Ms. Spetto. She wasn't exactly new with this felling of being watched so there was no stage fright, but her ability to speak had been robbed from her when her ears only heard questions and compliments mixed with a little pessimistic view from some. Very annoying in her opinion.

"Lucy that was great!" "Since when could you sing?" "Where'd you learn?" "I thought you would sound terrible, like you were going to summon Satan Soul on us." "You were incredible, I will not allow myself to be defeated!" "Love-Rival that was amazing! You aren't going to fall for her right, Gray-sama?" "I knew Lucy-san had a wonderful, do you make your own music?" "Hmph." "Who was your singing teacher, how much did you pay?" "If I look behind that curtain I won't find some tortured soul back there being forced to sing, will I?" "That was... WOW!"

"Damn. One at a time, with a drink next time. Oh yeah, and a break!" Lucy was annoyed so yeah, she wanted her damn drink so she could feel better. God, Lucy thought. I'm turning into a mix of Gajeel and Cana.

"Geez, sorry." Majority of the group said, excluding Happy who was searching behind the curtain for some poor soul. "It's okay, just so you know I didn't attend singing school. I mean, who would?" Lucy sighed. "I sang with my mother when I was younger and would perform for Ms. Spetto. No I did NOT sing for Gray, I leave that future duty to you Juvia. And Erza, I am pretty sure you can sing as well. I would love to stay singing competition free, thank you. Happy you could search the perimeter of this place all you want, but there is nobody holding a microphone being forced to sing. I have never done that to someone excluding one event when I was... whomp whomp whomp whomp, end of story." Lucy looked at everything but her friends, you could tell she did some dark shit in her past that should never be mentioned.

"Anyway- you shouldn't be asking that many questions, you guys are still in pain from second origin, right?" Lucy asked, trying to change the subject. "No fair," Natsu pouted. "How come Erza isn't in pain?" Lucy raised an eyebrow, looked at Erza then back at them. "That's because she's a boss like that." Lucy nodded in understanding. Erza couldn't help but crack a smile, then she broke into laughter. Although they all missed how serious Lucy was when she said that.


Our perverted midget master finally showed up with... wait for it... dramatic pause... Asuka! Oh my fucking God she is so fudging cute! You can tell she is going to be breaking hearts when she is older.

Since Asuka was there you already knew Bisca and Alzack were there, although Levy, Jet and Droy were there to wish us luck. They were on the Non-Participating list, sigh, me and Levy could have been reading weight lost books for Droy while the others were kicking ass, hopefully.

"Do your best for this event brats, and whatever anyone says about us possibly being weak. Deny it, then mentally kick their asses. I think you get disqualified for fighting other participants." Master Makarov said encouraging us to mentally kick ass.

"There are only 5 people who can take part on a team. Why choose us? Why not take someone stronger?" Lucy questioned. Lucy had to admit she was a little nervous, she had only fought in front of a crowd of people and she was drunk when that happened. She was to fight in front of thousands of people, she didn't think spending some quality time with Cana's babies would save her from embarrassment this time.

"None of the others have returned from their little training experiences yet. Levy could you read the rule book for them, seeing as this is Team Natsu they maybe be breaking rules without knowing it fairly simply." Makarov asked. "You know we take great offense to that." Gray said, feeling slightly disappointed that his Master had little faith in them. Despite him having an actual point, no flashing the kids.

"Yes Master." With her Gale Force glasses she sped through the entire book, in less then 3 minutes. Yes specific, I know. "Ahh, Guild Masters are not allowed to participate in said event. Only members of that guild are permitted to attend the games. Each event will be a secret until the competition. Yada Yada Yada, and all members of that team must be in their sleeping quarters at 12:00 specifically, no exceptions." Levy finished the rules leaving everyone suspicious as to why they must be at their quarters at that time.

"I wonder why we have to be there specifically at that time?" Lucy said in deep thought. "Aye!" Happy added in. "Shh, don't interrupt me!" Lucy basically growled at the poor exceed without any idea as to the fact she was doing such a thing.

"Natsu! Lucy is going to eat me! Wahhh!" Happy cried overdramatically. "Happy, I can't protect you. If I do, Lucy might eat me too!" Natsu tried to whisper, however he failed miserably. Perhaps he had been with Fairy Tail too long.

"I heard that!" Lucy roared as she comically chased Natsu, but seriously pissed. Who says stuff like that out loud? Sadly Natsu dear does. You poor, poor bastard.

"I suggest we go exploring around Crocus." Wendy said as she noticed that Gray may have been kidnapped by Juvia when they weren't looking. "I'm going to check out our hotel, I suggest you keep up with Wendy's idea. She maybe right in checking the city out for more knowledge of where places are." Erza said as she walked off, pretty confident she knew where she was going.

"Alright Scooby, Shaggy. Follow me. Daphne and Fred - Don't ask me who's who, fight over the title - you go explore the castle of your dreams." Lucy said. "Alright lets go Velma!" Natsu said. Lucy swiftly smacked what brains Natsu had left in that head out. "Didn't I say 'Follow Me.' retard. Jeez." Velma/Lucy said as she walked in a random direction.


"I think that restaurant was pretty good, Lucy. What do you think?" Natsu asked, but paused as he noticed Lucy and Happy walking or flying in another direction. "Where you guys going?" Natsu questioned, surprised he was just ditched by a girl for a flying, talking, blue, smartass, cat from another dimension.

"Natsu, is that a fight going on over there?" Lucy asked, noticing a group of people surrounding someone. "The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, their soo strong and dreamy." said a fangirl who really needed to do something different with her life, like a puzzle. "Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, aren't they the newly supposed strongest guys of Fiore?" Lucy wondered. "Hell Yeah! They are soo strong and dre-" Lucy stopped her mid-sentence. "Hey, I think you need a new hobby because you really spend too much time dreaming about them. Play Sudoku damn it! 'Twin Dragons are soo strong!' ' Twin Dragons are soo dreamy!'. Lucy complained. " Just shut the hell up! Fangirling is just so... just ew. I want to have my ears stay alive hearing neat things, hell even opera! Not Ms. Squeaky-I-love-Twins!"

"Wahhh! Your so mean!" The fangirler complained. " And your five, we can take this all day if you want honey. I got time." Lucy said. Natsu just stared, completely unaware of the Twin Dragons noticing Lucy's little tantrum and recognizing Natsu. Ms. Squeaky took that as her cue to run. "Finally! Fangirl is gone, her little crushes were driving me insane." Lucy sighed. "She's just lucky you didn't give her amnesia, Lucy." Lucy nodded as she agreed with Natsu. "Erza took away my torture toys, last week and never gave them back. Not even my chainsaw or my baseball bats or lead pipe or - Hello, do you need some help or something?"

"Your Natsu Dragneel aren't you?" a guy with blonde hair but really bad taste in clothes asked Natsu, completely avoiding Lucy's 'May I help you?' question. Did this bitch just avoid me?! Lucy thought. If I ask again Hell will somehow break loose, whether under my control or not.

"Uh... Yeah. May I help you?" Sting may have been between Natsu and Lucy, but Natsu could see Lucy jumping behind him giving him a thumbs up. With Natsu mastering Lucy's sign language he could tell what she was saying.

"Natsu. Natsu. Natsu. If this guy avoids your question, mentally kick his ass while I flick him off. If he answers your question, I get to mentally send his ass to hell and you back me up, that is for him avoiding me. If you could understand me you are my best friend, okay? Now go mentally kick his ass, arrogance is radiating off him and there is no chance he will respond." Lucy did bunny ears, that wasn't apart of her sign language so she was just doing that for fun.

All that came were taunts from both male bitches with attitude. Them revealing Third Generation Dragon Slayers and telling him how they could have easily taken Acnologia down.

Lucy had to literally walk in between them, pull out some random spray paint that she refuses to acknowledge and spray painted a border line between them.

"Our line, please do not cross currently. Wait till you hear an oww from Mr. Dragneel." Lucy told the completely confused dragon slayers, but listened for some unknown reason. Probably because they thought she was crazy and they were confused. Lucy did something no one saw coming, she grabbed Natsu's scarf and dragged him off. A second later an 'Oww!' was heard from a pink - haired dragon slayer as he was chocked by his 'best sign language friend'

"Natsu, I should kick your ass! You looked like a fail when you just stared at them looking all stupid!" Lucy rampaged, apparently without noticing she dragged a purple - faced Natsu through a lot of painful things. "Owww! Lucy I can't breathe!" "You looked like a fudging pansy! You didn't show them how Natsu acts in battle! We ain't speaking the same sign language! I mean the fuck man, I spent 10 minutes of watching that shit wasting my all day time on seeing you look like 'I don't know man, it just happened'. Dude your lucky I am only a little upset, I didn't mean to scare you." Lucy sighed. "Damn, I need a drink dude."

The Twin Dragon slayers watched as Natsu was dragged off through painful stuff. His best sign language friend might kill him on accident one day, that might be as scary as Minerva. No, Minerva was worse.


"You two shouldn't be late, remember we need to be here before 12:00 not after. Luckily you made it before with minutes to spare." Erza scolded them. Though Natsu wasn't listening, 'True Dragon Slaying Power' The Twins said those words before Natsu was dragged away by a seething in Natsu's eyes, a little upset in Lucy's eyes Lucy.

"Hey did any of you guys see Wendy, she should be here by now. Its nearly 12." Erza asked. "Nope." was everyone's immediate answer. "We can't look for her now, its almost 12." Lucy said. As if Mavis had heard their prayers Lisanna and substitute Elfman walked in from training on the mountains.

The clock struck 12, time for the games to begin. Wow, what a lovely catchphrase.
