Mavis: Welcome back to a very special episode! Now, we're gonna have to be very quiet, as we don't want the contestants to hear us. We've put the five teams up in lodgings for the night and we set hidden cameras up all over the place!
Makarov: It's like a better version of Big Brother! Now, Elfman's been resigned to chef since his good showing in the competition, but everyone else is currently in the communal area. Let's watch.
The communal area was a large room with a table in the centre and several long sofas laid out around it. Gajeel had his feet up on the table as Levy snuggled into his side, exhausted from the competition. Lucy and Natsu were wrestling for no real reason. Erza and Gerard were talking quietly, while Juvia appeared to attempting to beat Levy in the cuteness battle as she wriggled ferociously against Gray's flank. They were all in their pyjamas.
Finally, Elfman and Evergreen came back into the room from completing the dinner and began placing bowls of delicious food in front of people. Gajeel and Natsu began to compete to finish theirs first.
"Oi, take the time to enjoy it!" Evergreen barked. "We spent the time to make it!"
"It's wonderful," Erza beamed. "Who knew this big lug was so good with cooking?"
"It was just Big Sis taught me a lot," Elfman replied in an unusually bashful manner.
"Maybe you can teach Shorty something! Gihihi!"
"Gajeel! I can cook much better than you!" Levy huffed, blowing out her cheeks. After that, there was some silence as they finished eating. Suddenly, speakers blared into life, making them all jump.
Mavis: I'm bored, so we're jumping straight to the next competition!
"You're watching us in here!?" Lucy shouted at the ceiling.
Mavis: Careful, or I will give you a points deduction! Now, the boys and girls will be separated into two separate competitions. Could the ladies please make their way down the corridor to their competition room?
Lucy, Erza, Juvia, Levy and Evergreen went down the hallway and entered the room. It was large and square, and absolutely full of pillows. The floor was covered with them, and the walls were all padded by more.
Makarov: *nosebleed* Bahohoho! This is the pillow fight round!
"WHAT!?"
Mavis: That's right! The rules are simple – you score one point for every time you hit another girl with a pillow. Only pillows are acceptable weapons. Anything else will be disqualified, including armour. Winner gets 5 points, then 4,3,2,1 to be added to your boy's score for this round. Okay? Go!
Erza wasted no time, standing in the centre of the other four. "Heaven's Wheel! Blumenblatt!"
The other girls squealed as they were hammered by a barrage of pillows travelling in a circuit, replacing Erza's fearsome sword technique.
Mavis: Erza scores 127 hits in a mere ten seconds! Is she unstoppable?
"This is a pillow fight?" Levy gasped as smoke rose from where she'd been struck.
"I've been through this before," Lucy groaned. "I thought I might die."
"Juvia will not be scared! For Gray-sama!" Juvia launched herself at Erza, pillow in hand. The armour maga made to dodge, but her foot caught a pillow on the floor and she stumbled, allowing Juvia to batter her.
Makarov: Juvia's fury scores multiple hits!
"There are easier targets," Evergreen noted slyly, leaping at Levy and battering her. Levy held up a forearm to stave off the attack, but Lucy came in alongside her and joined Evergreen in her attack, surprising them both.
"Hey, Lu-chan!"
"Sorry, Levy-chan, this is just worth more points!" Lucy replied with a devilish grin. They continued to whack poor Levy until Juvia fell into the trio, knocking them all down. Erza advanced slowly towards them, eyes shadowed demonically as she wielded a deadly pillow in each hand.
"She's too much for Juvia. We must work together."
"I agree," Lucy said as Evergreen nodded.
"Now you want my help!?" Levy exploded, shaking her head in exasperation. The four girls charged at Erza and a massive melee erupted in the centre of the room. They hit each other again and again until a buzzer sounded.
Makarov: It's hard to keep count! There were so many hits in there! Still, Erza's lead was insurmountable, and Lucy and Evergreen's tactics put them in second and third. Poor Levy is in last place. Now, please return to the boys as we announce the results of their competition.
"Results?" Erza asked to the ceiling. 2they've already had it?"
As the girls all returned to the living room, the boys all looked incredibly shame-faced.
Mavis: While the girls had their fight, the boys watched from the CCTV footage. They had a competition – the last man to get a boner wins!
"WHAT!?" The girls cried.
Makarov: Natsu won with a mighty four point five seconds. Then Gerard with three point nine. Gajeel with three point seven. Gray with three point two. Elfman lost with one point six.
"What the hell!?" Evergreen shouted.
"It's Manly to be… I don't know how to respond."
"H-how did you even measure that!?" Levy asked, aghast.
Makarov: That answer goes to hell with me. Anyway, with that, we can add together the points of the boys and the girls and add them to the total scoreboard.
1st Team Burning Spirit – Natsu and Lucy – 81pts
2nd Team Fairy Soul – Elfman and Evergreen – 70pts
3rd Team Iron Shrimp – Gajeel and Levy – 68pts
4th Armoured Heart – Erza and Gerard – 67pts
5th Team Gray-Sama Love-Love – Gray and Juvia – 64pts
Mavis: How interesting! While there is becoming a clear front runner, we have a tight struggle for second place. I hope for more success from Gray and Juvia. Tomorrow may well be the last day of the tournament. Our contestants can now rest safely!
"You're pervs!" Lucy shouted at the ceiling. "All of you!"
The women nodded in agreement and headed to their bedrooms alone, doors slamming shut. The boys sat quietly together, feeling fully ashamed.
"You reckon they'll release that pillow fight on DVD?" Gajeel asked.
"Damn, I hope so," Natsu replied.
