"We've come to take you home, Lucy" They said, both extending their hands to her, even the cat. "No." Lucy replied without hesitation, then shrugged "I just got here, why should I go back?" "She has a point" The purple cat said, looking up to her partner and the sound of the Hosts jaws hitting the floor." The...The...The Cat just spoke" Tamaki pointed, shaking like a leaf. "Well, Duh, dummy, it's an exheed, that's who they are, that's what they do" Lucy said, shrugging lazily again, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. The twins had managed to sneak up to the cat, grabbing it from the ground, inspecting it. "Wow! It's seriously real; we thought it was a toy!" The twins gasped, stretching calypso's face. "Lemmeh goo!" Calypso cried, her words stretched with her face. Emily angrily grabbed the cat from them, holding her tightly in her arms. "Touch her again" Emily paused, putting her scariest face on, "And I'll kill you, got it?" Hikarou and Karou just squeaked a 'yes' and went to hide behind Lucy. Lucy just yawned, and went back to sitting up-side down on the couch again, yawning. "Uhm, Lucy-sama?" Aries asked, "Is there any reason you called me to the human world? Because I would like to go back if my work is done here" Aries apologised a few times before Lucy was given a chance to speak." Umm...What was it?" Lucy tapped her thumb on her chin a few times, thinking. "OH YEAH!" She thumped her fist into the palm of her hand, "Aries, can you make me a super soft pillow, please?" Lucy begged, putting on her puppy dog face. "Of course, Lucy-sama, I'm sorry if it's too fluffy" she apologised again, stretching her fingers out to the end of the red velvet couch, creating a pillow-sized ball of pink, fluffy wool, and Lucy lay down on it instantly, looking like she just hit Nirvana. "Thank you, Aries! You can return now" She said with a grin, snuggling dreamily into the ball of wool. After once again picking up their chins from the floor, the boys set to questioning Lucy. "That's wool, Right?" Hikarou asked, "Shouldn't it be all..." Karou continued "All scratchy and itchy and stuff?" the finished together. "It should, yes, but this isn't ordinary wool, this is Aries wool" She retorted, holding out the wool to them. They gingerly touched it, and after they placed their fingers on it, they were enveloped in a warm, soft fluffiness. Curious at what the twins were gawking at, the other hosts gathered around Lucy, completely ignoring the other two, (Three if you count the cat) Mages in the doorway. "HEY! DON'T IGNORE US!" Eve yelled out in irritation, re-catching everyone's attention. Lucy sighed, and got up again, once again approaching the two girls and cat. "Alright, have it your way. We'll fight mage on mage on mage, deal?" Lucy spat on her hand, and then extended it to them, a gleam in her eye. "But...That's not fair to you!" Eve mumbled, now shy again. "Then I'll have one of them on my team, no sweat" Lucy shrugged again, picking up the habit she had seen often in this city. "And who would that be?" "Him" Lucy said, pointing her other hand to Honey. "But, he's just a kid!" Calypso objected, worried about making this an even fight. "I have faith in him" Lucy said with a smile. "Deal?" she re-extended her hand, feeling Emily's strong grasp and the game was on.
~Flashback~ (About 10 minutes before the girls showed up)
"Hey, Heart-Chan! Guess what! I'm actually super strong!" Honey said with a mouthful of chocolate cake, flexing his arms, trying to act tough. "Really, Honey-Chan? I never would have guessed" she teased him, knowing full well that he could be telling the truth. "Yeah! Eating cake has made me super strong!" He boasted, wanting to impress his new friend. "I believe you". Honey wasn't expecting that, he thought since he was small and cute, that she'd never believe he was strong.

The two teams were standing on either side of the oddly placed battlefield. "This IS a school, right?" Lucy looked at her partner sceptically. "Yup!" his cute smile returned. "You ready for this?" "Yep!" Lucy sighed heavily, worrying about her choice. "YOU LOT READY OR WHAT?!" The not-so shy girl yelled out, now full of confidence. Lucy held out her fist to the small boy beside her. " Ready?" "Ready" he bumped his fist on hers, getting pumped up. " Hold on" Kyouya stepped into the middle of the field. "If Lucy loses, she goes home, correct? Well. What do we get if she wins?" he said, in business-man mode. " We'll..." " We'll work for you for the rest of the ye-" The blonde who had cut off her friend had a firm hand clamp over her mouth, scowling angrily at her. "Accepted" Kyouya said, writing it down in his little black book, walking off the field again. Mori silently nodded at his cousin, while Tamaki was not so subtle, with a cheering squad and everything for cheering on his friends. The whistle blew, and the four rushed to the centre, wanting to win.
