NORMAL P.O.V.
"The preliminary event is going throught the Sky Labyrinth again this year! pumpkin~ The rules are the same." Mato said. (Mato is that guy with the pumpkin head). "On your mark, get set, GO!"
All the teams ran inside the maze. Fairy Tail team A had Wendy and Natsu to sniff the way out. They ran as fast as they could.
"Congradulations! You came in 4th place this year. pumpkin~" Mato said.
Fairy Tail team A did a little victory dance. Lucy looked at who came in before them. Third was Lamia Scale, second was Raven Tail, and first was Sabertooth. Lucy's heart fluttered slightly when she saw Sting. They made eye contact. Making sure no one was looking, she gave Sting a large smile and a thumbs up. Sting smirked and looked away. A small smile played on his lips. Rogue saw the small smile but didn't say anything. About 30 minutes later, the rest of the teams arrived.
"The first event of the day is called 'Manhunt'. Contestants are teleported into town. Our machine is going to go around and try to hit you. If you are hit you become a 'machine' and try to hit other contestants. The last one left is rewarded 10 points. The contestants are Rufus Lohr from Sabertooth, Arania Web from Mermaid Heel, Nullpuding from Raven Tail, Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail team A, Eve Tearm from Blue Pegasus, Toby Horhorta from Lamia Scale, Yaeger from Quatro Cerberus, and Juvia Lockser from Fairy Tail team B!" Mato announced.
The contestants were teleported into town.
"On your marks, get set, GO!"
About 40 minutes later, the event was over. The results were posted
1st-Sabertooth
2nd-Fairy Tail team A
3rd-Fairy Tail team B
4th-Raven Tail
5th-Blue Pegasus
6th-Mermaid Heel
7th-Lamia Scale
8th-Yaeger
Fairy Tail congratulated Gray and Juvia. About two minutes later, the matches began.
"The first match is Lucy Heartfillia vs Flare Corona!" Mato said.
"Go Lucy!" Fariy Tail cheered.
"She them what Fairy Tail is made of!" Natsu shouted.
"Good luck blondie." Laxus said.
An angry tick mark appeared on her forhead. She glared at Laxus and walked to the arena.
What is it with people and calling me blondie? Lucy thought.
"Ready, set, FIGHT!"
"I can't wait to beat you again blondie." Flare said.
Another tick mark appeared on Lucy's forhead.
"WOULD EVERYONE JUST STOP CALLING ME 'BLONDIE'?!" Lucy shouted. "Celestial Sphere!"
A large orange sphere appeared on Lucy's hand. She launched it at Flare and followed it with a kick to Flare's stomach. Lucy didn't give Flare a chance to attack. She summoned Cancer to cut her hair while Lucy attacked Flare over and over again with her 'Celestial Sphere'. Flare fell to the ground unconcious.
"Lucy Heartfillia is the winner!" Mato annouced.
Lucy did a victory dance on her way back to her team.
"Yeah! You did it Luce!" Natsu said.
"Good job." Gray and Erza said.
A small boy ran up to Lucy and gave her a note. She opened it.
Hey blondie,
Good fight. Come by Sabertooth after the matches. We'll go grab something to eat and to the park or something. You can bring that little girl Wendy if you want. Lector is coming with me.
Sting
Lucy smiled at the note and showed it to Wendy.
"Is that a love letter?!" Mira shouted eyes glittering.
"Wha-?! No!" Lucy shouted.
"What does it say?" Mira asked.
"It just says how that little boy thinks that Lucy's fight was amazing." Wendy said.
Lucy could hardly sit still while watching the matches.
"I'm going for a walk." Lucy said as soon as the matches were over.
"I'll come with you." Wendy said.
"Don't stay out to late." Erza said.
"We won't."
Lucy walked to Sabertooth and hid behind a tree. Waiting for Sting to come out. Every 5 seconds, Sting would sniff the air trying to smell vanilla and strawberries. Rogue noticed his partner sniffing the air. Sting got up.
"I'm going for a walk." he said.
"I'm coming too!" Lector said.
Rogue sniffed the air. It smelled faintly of strawberries and vanilla. Suspicious, he followed Sting. Sting, Lucy, Wendy and Lector went to the park.
"Did you see my fight?! I was amazing! Flare didn't even land a single hit on me!" Lucy said.
"I could have taken her out in one hit." Sting said.
"'Cause Sting-kun is the strongest mage in Fiore!" Lector said.
"And where does that leave me?" Lucy asked petting Lector.
"Third!"
"Who's second?"
"Rogue."
Lucy giggled and pet Lector some more.
"How is this girl third strongest?" Sting scoffed.
"Excuse me?" Lucy said.
"You're no where as strong as me!" Sting said.
"We'll just see about that!" Lucy said putting Lector on the ground, tackling Sting.
The two blondes fought and rolled around in the grass. About an hour later, they stopped fighting and lay down on the ground panting.
"See? You are no where as strong as me." Sting panted.
"Don't kid yourself. We were even." Lucy panted.
There was silence.
"I'm hungry." Lucy said.
"Me too. Let's go get something to eat." Sting said.
Wendy and Lector sweatdropped. One moment, they were fighting the next they were going to eat dinner. Sting, Lucy, Wendy and Sting went to a small restaurant near the arena. The waitress who was serving them was practically drooling all over Sting. Sting ordered a large steak with ribs, Lucy and Wendy ordered chicken ceaser salad and Lector order fish. Sting finished his steak and ribs quickly. Since he was still hungry, he took some of Lucy's chicken from her salad.
"Hey! If you're hungry order more! Don't take my food." Lucy said.
"But it's fun. 'Cause it pissed you off." Sting said.
Lucy almost stabbed Sting with her fork. Sting got pissed and tried stabbing Lucy with his knife. It turned into a small fight. Lucy completly forgot about her food. So Lector ate it. Lucy stopped fighting when she heard Lector burp.
"Lector! You ate my dinner?!" Lucy shouted.
"Yes. *burp*" Lector said.
Lucy sighed and looked at the time. 7:38pm. Lucy payed for the food and left the restaurant.
"We better get back. Erza will get mad if we don't." Lucy said. "See you later."
"Bye." Sting said walking back to Sabertooth.
He was in a really good mood. You could practically see the happiness seeping out of him. His team looked at him confused.
"What are you so happy about?" Orga asked.
"Hm? Nothing." Sting replied. "I'm going to my room."
Sting left his team completly confused. He took a shower and put on sweat pants. He almost jumped when he saw Rogue in his room sitting on a chair.
"What are you doing here Rogue?" Sting asked drinking some water.
"I know that you spent the day with Lucy Heartfillia." Rogue said.
Sting choked on his water.
"How do you know that?" Sting coughed.
"I followed you." Rogue replied.
"Rogue, you can't tell anyone. Especially Minerva." Sting said.
"I won't. But tell me how you know her."
"I met her in a forest near Magnolia. She was crying because Natsu had cheated on her on their one year anniversary and her birthday. After that, se began crying about how weak she was so I said I would train her. I trained her for about 9 months. We kind of 'parted ways' 3 months before this year's Grand Magic Games. And let me tell you, training her was the biggest mistake of my life. She is such a pain in the ass." Sting explained.
Both dragon slayers jumped when they heard a thump from the window. They walked over cautiously. Lucy was on her hands and knees.
"What are you doing here blondie?" Sting asked.
"Sorry. I forgot to give something back to you." Lucy said.
She handed Sting his earring.
"You can keep that." Sting said.
"Eh? Really?" Lucy said.
Sting nodded. Lucy saw Rogue.
"Does he know?" Lucy asked.
Sting nodded again. Lucy stood up.
"My name is Lucy Heartfillia. It's nice to meet you." she said.
"Rogue Cheny."
"Since introductions are over go back to where ever the hell you're staying. If someone found out you're here, we're dead." Sting said.
"I'm going, I'm going. Don't be such a sourpuss." Lucy said climbing out the window.
Sting booted her out. Lucy yelped in surprise.
"Sting you idiot! Why'd you have to push me?!" Lucy shouted.
"Because you called me a sourpuss!" Sting shouted shutting the window.
Lucy screamed a bunch of insults but left shortly after.
"Did you return the earring?" Wendy asked when Lucy got back.
"No. He said I could keep it." Lucy replied. "Let's get to bed. I'm tired."
Wendy nodded in agreement. Lucy drifted to sleep thinking about Sting.
Hey guys. Thanks for reading. Please inform me of any mistakes, grammar or spelling. I DO NOT own Fairy Tail.
