Thank you all, my lovely readers :3

Your reviews are precious :D

Enjoy !

Disclaimer : I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. IT'S BELONG TO HIRO MASHIMA.

Natsu, Gray, Lyon and Sting get ready for their match. There are only four of them, against a group of newbies.

"You regulars need some more trainings. How can you guys lost to the newbies?" Lyon says with certainty.

"Yes.." The regulars reply shyly.

"Lack of calcium and potassium." Gray adds.

*I'm not really sure potassium's good for basketball players, but for the story's sake, just let it be :p*

"We're so sorry.."

"Well, you must see how Sting plays it." Natsu comments.

"Isn't he's a newbie?" One of the regulars asks.

"Yeah, so?" Natsu asks him again.

"Well, I mean.. Why did you put him in your team?" That regular member asks again. "But taichou, if that's your decision.."

"Hmm," Natsu says. "I'll show you why I put him in my team. Come on newbies!"

The newbies enter the field. They had their ten minutes break already. Some of them are panting heavily, so they did switches. They replace the very tired ones with the not-so tired ones.

"Natsuuuu!" Lisanna calls. "Win this match okay, baka (stupid)? If not, you're going to piggyback me every single day!"

"Hey! Not fair! You're heavy, Lisanna!" Natsu yells back.

"Gray! I'm waiting for my double portion!" Lucy shouts.

"You're not getting that double portion, Lucy!" Gray replies. "You're treating me!"

"Hey! That's not our first agreement!" Lucy protests.

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you, but no double portion!" Gray decides.

"Good luck, Gray-sama!" Juvia cheers, then blushes madly.

"Good luck, Lyon! Sting! You guys lose, treat me too! You guys win, treat me either way!" Lucy shouts.

Lyon laughs and Sting smiles. "She sure always has her own way." Lyon comments.

"Begins!"

There are 6 newbies against 4 top regulars. *Just consider Sting is one of the 4* First of all, Natsu holds the ball. He bounces it up and down, glancing towards his teammates.

"I'm all fired up." he says and he starts running.

Being the taichou means he really possess some real skills. Natsu could runs fast and his control of the ball is excellent. When there are two newbies blocking his way, he passes the ball to the vice-captain, Gray.

Gray is one excellent player too. He became the vice-captain so he could support Natsu. Although he is the vice-captain, his ability to control the ball is slightly better than Natsu. Gray runs past the guards easily, and jumps high then shoots. The ball enters the ring smoothly.

Juvia blushes more and even having a small nosebleed.

"Juvia!" Lisanna and Lucy panic.

Then the newbies turn. One of them dribbles the ball then starts to run. He's pretty fast, but when Lyon comes as his blocker, he passes the ball to one of his teammates. Unfortunately, Sting runs faster and snatches the ball.

"Nice!" Natsu shouts.

Sting dribbles the ball and runs through guards. He jumps high, but then one of the newbies-who is pretty tall-jumps also, having his hands block the ball. Sting reacts fast, he moves his body slightly to the right, but passes the ball to his behind. When both Sting and the newbie hop down, Lyon comes-he received the pass from Sting-and makes a slam dunk.

"Yeah!" The girls cheer.

"Oh my!"

"Did you guys see that?!"

"STINGG!"

"NATSUU!"

"GRAYY!"

"LYONN!"

"GOSH I LOVE FTHS BASKETBALL CLUB!"

"Marry meee!"

"Muach muach!"

All of the girls who are standing outside of the gym also cheer. Sting and Lyon make a high-five.

"Not bad. Nope, really good. I guess you're not just a newbie." Lyon says.

Sting shrugs his shoulder. "I play basketball everyday."

"Cool! Alone?" Lyon asks.

Sting nods. "So I'm kinda sloppy."

Natsu pats Sting's shoulder. "You're not sloppy you know. I'd say in.. in.. inex.. What is the word, Gray?"

"Inexperienced, dummy!" Gray answers.

"That's the word!" Natsu grins.

From the spectators' seat, Lisanna slaps her forehead after hearing Natsu. "Gosh, why is my childhood friend so stupid? His grammars!"

Lucy laughs then put a stare on Sting. Wait, hold on a minute. Is it just her or that blonde guy is really looking at her? With his damn pretty blue eyes?

Lucy doesn't take her gaze away, neither Sting. That guy is definitely looking at her. Then she smiles and Lucy's heart skips a beat. Okay, she gotta admit that guy's playing is good. Cool, actually.

Then Lucy slides her eyes a bit, and looking at Gray. Not this one too. Gray is also looking at her! He smiles gently and Lucy's heart does another skip. Gosh, what is wrong with her?

Gosh, something is wrong here. I mean, come on! I've seen Gray for almost the entire of my life! How can my heart does... whatever it is? And that Sting! He's a new guy and how come my heart... I think I'm too hungry., Lucy says in her mind.

"Come on guys!" Natsu shouts and that snaps Lucy back.

Okay, she really gotta fix this or her heart will goes crazy whenever she sees Sting or Gray or both of them.

And with that, the match is going on.

SHOOSH!

"Yeaaahh!"

With the last shoot Sting gave, Team Natsu wins the match.

"Damn! No piggyback ride!" Lisanna complaints softly.

Lucy glances at her best friend. "I see," she says with some funny tone. "you wanna get close to him more."

"Lucy!" Lisanna yells softly and blushes madly.

Lucy chuckles. "Guess you're really in love."

Lisanna blushes. "Don't tease me."

Lucy laughs. "Okaay, I won't." she says. "But I'll tease you sometime later."

"Lucy!" Lisanna protests.

Lucy laughs again.

"Come on, let's congratulate them." Lisanna stands up. "Come on Juvia."

The three of them walk towards the four boys. Juvia blushes madly, as she is closer to her Gray-sama.

Lisanna blushes too, but she can hide it. She took Natsu's towel from his broad shoulder and dries his hair. "Congratulation for your winning." she says and smiles.

Natsu smiles too. Gosh, his childhood friend's smile is so sweet!

"Co-congra-congratula-congratulation, G-Gray-sama..." Juvia mutters.

"Thanks." Gray replies and she blushes more.

Lucy takes Gray's towel and does the same as Lisanna. The different is she gives Gray a light kiss on his forehead-Lucy must stands on her tiptoe-. Juvia blushes and she doesn't know what to do. Then her heart calms down, remembering how often Lucy kisses Gray's forehead. Something that Lucy always does whenever Gray finishes his match.

And don't ask. Gray's heart beats faster and louder.

"How's my play?" he asks.

Lucy smiles while drying his hair. "Cool as always. I'm waiting for my portion."

Gray laughs. "Sure, sure."

Then Lucy moves her gaze to Lyon and Sting. "And you guys are treating me too."

Lyon sighs. "I never say yes you know."

Lucy pats Lyon's cheek. "You didn't say no either. So, treat me."

Lyon laughs. "Alright, fine. I'll treat you tomorrow."

Lucy smiles. Then she looks at Sting. She uses his towel to rub his head. "My treat?"

"I never agree." Sting replies.

"How come you boys are so tight-fisted?" Lucy complaints.

Sting laughs. "Okay, tomorrow's break."

Lucy smiles really wide. "Yeah!"

Gray laughs. Well, to tell the truth, he is kinda of jealous. All this time, Lucy relies on him, and well, this kind of things has always been Gray's duty. A duty which he gladly would do. But seeing how his childhood friend's face looks so happy, he thought to give it a slack. He loves her smile, and he doesn't want it to fade just because his simple jealousy.

And while Lucy is laughing, a certain person is looking at her. Well, this person is good at observing people secretly. And while looking at Lucy, this person thought this in mind : Gosh, I love her smile. And this person's heart skips a beat.

Yeah, finished !

As always, reviews please?

Thank youuu :3
