- Chapter Seven -

"I still don't get it. How did that sphere hold for a whole seven years?"

Rilee merely shrugged, "I have no damn idea. Whoever held it must be pretty strong."

Rogue raised an eyebrow, "Have you not thought that it could've been you?" He asked, "You told us you didn't know how you got there, and that when you woke up you felt drained. Plus, didn't that guy say that the sphere was blue?"

Rilee nodded, "He did. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it was my magic."

Sting stroked his chin, "Well, if it was you - that's some pretty bad ass stuff."

"Right?" Rilee agreed.

"Right. You can use that power at the Grand Magic Games."

Rogue rolled his eyes, so did Rilee. "I've already told you, Sting. I'm not doing it."

"Now, hear me out." Sting said, "You can wear a mask or something. Like that dude Mystogan. No one will suspect a thing, I mean, now a days, everyone wears mask," Sting was practically begging. "Please?"

"I guess it's worth a try," Rogue agreed with Sting for the first time, "But of course it's up to you ..."

Rilee let out a sigh. "A mask?" She said as she rose her head. "A real good mask?"

Sting nodded, a hopeful smile on his face. "The best mask ever. No one will see your face."

Rilee stood up and walked towards the door, "Hurry up and get that mask made."

- At Fairy Tail -

"Your sister?" Lucy said in relief. "Phew, I thought she was your girlfriend or something."

Wendy, Juvia and Gajeel gave Lucy a weird look. "What?" She said, her cheeks red as she realized what had just come out of her mouth.

"Heh, Anyway ..." Laxus said awkwardly, but he didn't continue. He was going to tell the group of his sister and why she left, but suddenly he couldn't speak anymore.

"This just got awkward real fast," Erza said as she scratched the nape of her neck.

"So!" Lucy said as she clapped her hands, "What about the Grand Magic games, huh?"

"Well, I guess we're going to enter it," Laxus spoke up.

"Uh - yeah, it'll be cool ..." Wendy said.

Lucy sighed at her attempt to change the subject. Because it didn't work.

"What's with this atmosphere?" Natsu said as he pulled himself up a chair. "Lucy? Are you okay?" He asked as he looked at Lucy's burning cheeks.

"I - I'm fine!" Lucy blurted out before letting out a huge breath. "I'm, I'm just going to go ..."

Natsu raised an eyebrow, "What was that all about?" No one replied, everyone was quiet. "Did something happen?"

Gajeel chuckled awkwardly, "Something happened, alright ..."

Natsu glanced at everyone around the circle. "So, anyone got any opinions on the Grand Magic Games?"

There was a moment of silence, "I want to see how strong Sabertooth is," Erza said.

Natsu nodded. "By how everyone talks about them, their pretty good."

There was another moment of silence.

"I really want to fight against that Sting dude, he looks like a good match."

Gajeel nodded, "But we'll need to practice in the mean time. Everyone else has had seven years of training, we need to get back on their level."

"Don't worry," Said Natsu, "We're going to own the battlefield."

A/N: Just like to say that the games aren't going to be the same as they were in the actual anime/manga. The events aren't going to be the same but there will be battles.

That is all, ola.
