Lucy's POV

Lucy walked down the stairs of the second floor with Wendy just behind her and Erza in front. The sun was shining in through the windows of the inn, even despite the clouds that were seen in the sky. It promised to be a nice temperature, not too hot, not too cold. Both Wendy and herself were bubbling with excitement for the contest today. They had wanted to talk to Aneira yesterday night but the Rising Moon Mage had left before they got the chance. To their surprise most of the Guild was already on the first floor, Natsu was pacing outside the front door, clearly waiting for something. Lucy made her way up to him and smiled,

"Hey Natsu, what's up?" She asked and he stopped pacing, giving her a smile.

"Just waiting for that Rising Moon Mage to show up." He said and Lucy tilted her head,

"You mean Aneira?" She asked and he nodded.

"She said she was gonna show up and take us to her Guild Hall." He explained. Lucy gave him a smile,

"I'm sure she'll be here soon." She reassured him and they both looked toward the door where said Mage had just opened it. Aneira smiled at them,

"Hey." She greeted them and Lucy smiled back.

"Aneira!" She said and stepped toward her. "Great to see you!" She said happily and Aneira nodded.

"You too, Lucy." She murmured and turned toward Makarov who had just walked up. "Ready to head out?" She asked and he nodded,

"Lead the way," He said and Aneira nodded, turning and heading out. Makarov walked on Aneira's right and Lucy walked on her left with Wendy beside her.

"Hey Aneira!" Wendy greeted her and Aneira glanced over at the small Mage, giving her a friendly smile.

"Hey Wendy." She told her. "How have you two been?" She asked.

"Great, we're really looking forward to meet the rest of Rising Moon!" Lucy said and Aneira chuckled.

"Well everybody is looking forward to meeting you too." She replied.

They kept up the friendly conversation all the way as Aneira lead them toward the Guild Hall on top of the hill. They all looked up as a loud sound came from inside the Guild Hall and Lucy saw a vein tick on Aneira's forehead.

"I gave him one job..." Lucy heard her mutter under her breath as she stepped forward and pushed the doors open. Master Makarov chuckled a little at her comment, Lucy stepped inside and swept her gaze around the hall. It was filled with a little over a dozen people and it was fairly large. She sweatdropped at the sight of a young mage with orange hair, his face currently on the floor with a large bump on the back of his head. The Mage that had accompanied Aneira last night stood above him, looking quite annoyed.

Aneira cast a stern look at the man who just shrugged it off. Aneira sighed and the Rising Moon Mages smiled at the Fairy Tail Mages.

"Alright, let me introduce you to everyone." Aneira began.

Aneira's POV

Aneira quickly introduced the Mages in Rising Moon and gave Ben an annoyed look as he picked himself off the floor. Natsu jumped to the front of the crowd and lit his fists up with fire,

"Alright, lets get this contest started!" He yelled with a large grin spread across his face and Ben smiled back.

"I agree, bet you cant get to the contest arena before I can, Salamander!" Ben challenged and both boys charged out the back doors of the Guild, Aneira sighed. Jason stepped forward and told Fairy tail to follow him before she got a chance to and he walked away, Fairy Tail following. Aneira smiled slightly at his actions, he would make a great leader...

"KYAAA! YOUR SO ADORABLE!" Aneira sighed as Ayumi launched herself at an unknowing Wendy, and pulled her into a hug, muttering things like 'adorable' or 'cutest thing I've ever seen!'. Wendy looks rather flustered and Aneira quickly walked up to the pair, ignoring the chuckles the retreating Members of Fairy Tail were letting out. The Rising Moon Guild Master separated the two gently and fixed Ayumi with a stern glare,

"Take it easy, your gonna squeeze her to death." She warned and Ayumi noded furiously, still looking at Wendy like she was eye-candy. Aneira gave Wendy and apologetic look, before heading after the group of Fairy Tail Mages, out the back door. Ayumi hovered over Wendy, smiling sweetly and giggling. Wendy is looking a bit embarrassed with all the attention Ayumi is giving her. Carla flies back toward us, looking shocked. She must have just noticed Wendy wasn't with her...

"Wendy! I thought I had lost you child!" Carla scolded and Wendy gave her an apologetic look.

"Sorry Car-"

"Your so CUTE!" Ayumi shouts and suddenly Carla is being crushed in Ayumi's grasp.

"Ayumi!" Aneira yelled and she released Carla immediately, looking sheepishly at her Guild Master.

"Sorry." She murmured. Aneira noticed that both Wendy and Lucy were staring at her, looking to be deep in thought.

"Something wrong?" She asked the two.

"I never got to ask, whose the Guild Master here?" Lucy asked and she paused, even Ayumi faltered a bit in her mooning over Wendy and Carla.

"That would be-" Aneira began.

"Your looking at our Guild Master." Ayumi cut her off and both Lucy and Wendy looked shocked.

"Really?" They both gasped and Aneira nodded.

"Yeah, why haven't you to figured that out all ready?" Aneira asked and they gave her sheepish smiles.

"Well... Your just so young..." Lucy murmured.

"We were expecting the Guild Master to be someone older." Wendy told her honestly and Aneira smiled a little. Makarov had thought the same thing the first time she had met him.

"The Boss might not be as old as your Guild Master, but she's definitely a great leader." Ayumi told the two and she was surprised that Ayumi thought that.

Aneira smiled and started walking again, she rubbed the back of her neck and breathed deeply, sometimes you all are just too much trouble...but I'm glad to have all of you... It didn't take to long for the small group to reach the Arena. Rising Moon had cleared out a large circle for the fights, a makeshift bar stood off to the side with picnic tables placed here and there. When they arrived a match had already started, and Aneira sweatdropped at seeing the two mages fighting.

Crap... Ben and Salamander? Please...please...don't destroy everything! She pleaded in her head, Aneira stopped at the edge of the arena, standing beside Makarov and Lucy and Wendy came to stand beside her.

"I really thought you'd be better than this, Salamander!" Ben taunted and Natsu smirked.

"Just you wait!" Natsu yelled back, cupping his hands around his mouth. "Fire Dragons Roar!' Natsu shouted and flames shot out toward Ben. Ben smirked and crossed his arms over his chest,

"Sun Shield." Ben said simply and a wall of orange light placed itself between Ben and the flames. The flames were stopped like it was nothing and Natsu stared, having a hard time believing his attack failed. "That all you got, Salamander?" Ben called out to the pinkette.

Natsu smirked, "Oh, I'm just getting started!" Natsu yelled back at him. Ben uncrossed his arms and launched forward, sticking his arms out to the side as he drew near. Ben smiled, showing his slightly pointed teeth and swung out toward Natsu as his arms were encased in the same orange light as before,

"Sun Dragon Wing Attack!" Ben yelled and the orange light expanded and rushed toward Natsu. Natsu looked shocked for a minute before he jumped out of the way.

"No way! Your a Dragon Slayer?" Natsu exclaimed and Ben stopped, smirking at the astonished look on Natsu's face.

"You bet! That's what makes this fight interesting, two Dragon Slayers going at it!" Ben told him. Aneira leaned up against the table behind her,

"So Ben's a Dragon Slayer?" Wendy asked and Aneira glanced over at her.

"Sure is, Ayumi stop fussing over her." Aneira said and gave the hovering mage a stern look. Ayumi just smiled, but kept her distance from Wendy.

"What does he eat?" Lucy asked and Aneira glanced at the blonde.

"Sunlight." She explained, turning her attention back to the battling Dragon Slayers.

"Is he a First Generation Dragon Slayer?" She glanced over at Makarov as he asked his question. The Fairy Tail Guild Master wasn't looking at her, his eyes were set upon the battle. Aneira sighed softly and looked back at the battle as well,

"No, Second Generation." Aneira told him.

Ben was coming at Natsu incredibly fast, throwing punch after punch. Aneira's eyes widened slightly in surprise, when she noticed Natsu was dodging all of them. Hmm... Salamander's better than I thought...

"Sun Dragon's Iron Fist!" Ben yelled and landed a solid hit on Natsu, sending the Fairy Tail Mage crashing into the trees on the opposite side of the Arena from the crowds.

"Wow, he's good..." Aneira smiled softly at Lucy's comment.

"Ben's very good," Aneira told her, "He just needs to learn when enough is enough."

Natsu jumped from the trees, looking as if it never happened. Ben and Natsu went at it again, throwing hits every which way, neither of them able to beat each other. This went on for a few more minutes, Ben stopped dead and the orange light surrounded his body.

"Your doing better than I thought!" Ben told Natsu and smirked, "But this hit will finish this!" Ben yelled and the orange light turned a deep shade of red, orange and yellow staining the tips of it, amazing amounts of Magic Energy radiating from the mage. Aneira stiffened slightly at narrowed her eyes, Ben raced toward Natsu with amazing speed.

"You do that move and your in trouble!" Aneira yelled out to the Sun Dragon Slayer and Ben slightly faltered in his running, he slowed down and he sighed.

"Fine..." She heard him mumble and the red turned to orange again. Aneira let out a silent sigh, "But that wont stop me from beating you!" Ben yelled at Natsu and raised a fist.

Natsu did the same and their two fists collided, sending out a wave of energy around them from the impact. Both boys smiled at each other and lowered their fists. Ben held out a hand and Natsu took it,

"Good fight, Salamander." Ben told him and Natsu nodded.

"You too, your not half bad!" Natsu joked and the two left the arena, Aneira made sure to shoot Ben an angry look before he turned away from her. Aneira sighed, looking at the craters and destroyed trees in and around the arena.

She was dimly aware of Makarov, who was glancing at her, and she knew what he was asking in his head.

'Why did you stop your Mage?'

Aneira didn't look at Makarov though, instead focused her attention on the next Mages who were going to be fighting. Crystal and Ayumi walked into the arena with Lucy and Wendy following. Aneira blinked and glanced sideways, she hadn't even noticed the two walk away.

Wendy looked a little nervous, while Lucy seemed excited. Ayumi and Crystal were both smiling, Aneira tilted her head slightly as she caught the short conversation they were having before they started their fight.

"Ok guys, this fight should be fun! We don't want to actually hurt either of you," Ayumi said, casting an adoring look at Wendy. "We just want to see what you guys are made of." Ayumi explained and the two Fairy Tail Mages nodded.

Some of the Fairy Tail Mages who weren't drinking or talking called out good-lucks to their two girls. Aneira smiled as Rowan and Blaise cheered for the two Rising Moon Girls in the Arena. Crystal and Ayumi nodded at each other and they split apart, Ayumi going after Lucy and Crystal going after Wendy.

Lucy pulled one of the keys from her belt and did the motions as she summoned one of her spirits. "Open: Gate of the Ram! Aires!" Lucy's Spirit appeared as a young girl with Pink hair, horns, and wearing a fluffy white dress. Aneira noticed, that Aries looked a little nervous. Aymui swung her arm out in front of her, sending a wave of Wind toward the blonde Mage.

"Aires! Wool wall please!" Lucy commanded,

"I'll do my best Ma'am." Aries quickly put up a wall of fluffy wool to block Ayumi's attack.

Crystal had skidded to a stop a few feet in front of Wendy, smiling and waiting for the small mage to make the first move. Wendy hesitantly threw a couple of Wind Magic spells at Crystal, who smirked and flicked her hand out in front of her. Wendy's Spells were sent back at her and the small Fairy tail Mage quickly moved out of the way, looking shocked.

Aneira's attention was cast back at Lucy and Ayumi's fight, and she let out a sigh upon seeing many of the men around the Arena's noses were bleeding. Aymui and Lucy were wrestling on the ground, their chests pressed up together, clearly in a way some of the men liked. Lucy's spirit had disappeared, Aneira noticed. Wendy leaned back to suck in air, a gesture Aneira was all too familiar with.

"Sky Dragon Roar!" Wendy's small voice yelled, but Crystal had shouted out while Wendy was charging up her spell,

"Mirror Magic: Copy Cat!" Crystal smirked and did the same movements as Wendy, as a similar wave of Air Magic was sent toward Wendy's Roar. The two attacks canceled each other out and Crystal smiled at Wendy sweetly. Blaise and Rowan were yelling approval out to their Guild-mates, Aneira smiled at their enthusiasm and took her gaze away from the fight. Many of the Mages were sitting and drinking, or even helping themselves to some of the food Friesure had made. But they all seemed to be enjoying themselves, and that made Aneira smile a little more, this Contest was going well so far. When she turned back to the Arena, Lucy and Wendy were walking out with Aymui and Crystal, all four laughing and smiling.

Day one of the Rising Moon V.S Fairy Tail Contest was going smoothly so far.
