I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.

Lucy was contently munching on some watermelon with her guild mates. "Luuuuuuuuucyyyyyyy… don't eat ALL of it yourself!" Natsu whined. Since Lucy had come back, she had been quite… erm… protective about her food… so Natsu and Happy could no longer steal it off her. "No way, get your own food." she snapped, swatting the hand that was edging towards her watermelon away. "Come to think of it, Lucy, what's up with your belt and earrings? They're so cool! They were glowing, and it was like your keys suddenly appeared with a woosh! And stuff like that!" Natsu said happily, making weird movements like a child. "Mmm… I bought the belt from a magical shop, it's called the Exquip Belt. For mages who use a lot of weapons but don't have equip magic use it. All you need to do is channel a bit of magical energy into the belt to get the weapon you want." Natus just nodded his head. "Ah… I see… "

"… you don't get it, do you?"

"Nope."

Erza, who was sitting two seats away, eating strawberry cake, stopped and looked up, mildly interested in the conversation. "That's rather impressive. Was your earring like that as well? Did it store magical energy for you so you could use it? How do you charge it back up?" Lucy fidgeted a bit at the question. "Uh… ummm… y-y-yeah… I g-g-guess… it… is f-from… a shop… maybe… " Gray, who was walking up to them (along with Juvia who was timidly standing next to him with a giant blush on her face) frowned. "You know, Lucy… you're really bad at lying." Lucy stood up a did a Lucy kick on him. "Shut up! I w-w-wasn't l-lying." Juvia shrieked and ran over to her Gray-sama, who was kicked halfway across the guild.

Master Makarov walked up to where Lucy was sitting with a grim expression. "Magical Limiter." was all her said, yet she froze up immediately with an unreadable expression on her face. "Magical Limiter… an object that steals enormous amounts of magical energy from the user, and stores it away for emergencies. Lucy… those are forbidden, are they not? The council banned them, they were too dangerous to the user. When you put it on, the Limiters took too much energy, and it ended up killing almost all of the mages who used it. If not, they just kept eating your magical supply because it needed it to keep the magic it stored contained. Even I couldn't keep one on for more than a week." Lucy sighed, and turned slowly to face Master. Everyone in the guild was quiet now, worried about the celestial mages' wellbeing.

"Yes… that's true… I actually have two Limiters, the left and the right earring. That's why they look different." Erza stared at Lucy for a while. "Take them off, Lucy, now." Lucy shook her head, "Let me finish. I keep the Limiters on because I have to. I have too much magical energy, I can't control all of it at once. When I was training in the Celestial Realm, one time I accidentally stayed too long, and my magical power was gone before I realised. I was suffocating there, when something inside of me clicked. And then suddenly, I got all this magical energy, it was awesome and all, but my body couldn't handle it all at once. My magic started eating me from the inside, and I almost died after a month. Luckily Bob sent me these Limiters, they ate away my excess power. Kinda ironic, don't you think? If I don't let the Limiters eat my magic, my magic will eat me. Anyways, that how it is." Everyone was silent for a few minutes. Lucy fidgeted uncomfortably under the intense stares from her family.

"Ah, well you can keep them then." was all Master Makarov said, and he went back to his office to sort out the papers *ahem* complaints.

"LUCY! THAT'S SOOOOOO COOL! CAN I TRY ONE, CAN I, CAN I?" Natsu shouted excitedly, pulling on her left earring. The one he was pulling was a skull shaped earring that had red eyes. It looked and creeped him out, but he wanted to see such an awesome object! The guild laughed at how childish he was, while Lisanna, Mira, and Levy sighed. They made gestures to him to come over. Juvia, understanding what they were trying to do, whispered to Gray to help her distract Lucy for a while.

With Natsu…

Natsu walked over, grinning widely, towards the three exasperated mages. "What's up, guys?" They looked at him for a moment, and sighed again. He gave a confused look, and Lisanna started to talk. "Natsu, you LOVE Lucy. You. Need. To. Confess." Seeing the direction of where this conversation was headed, a faint pink appeared on his face. "But… but Lucy doesn't evenlike me like that!" The three shook their heads in disbelief. "Honestly, MAN UP, Natsu! How do you know she doesn't like you? A real man won't just give up like that!" Mira cried in frustration. Levy giggled a bit. "Mira, you're starting to sound like Elfman. But seriously, Natsu. Make your move, before someone else does!"

"But I'm not a romantic guy and such. Lucy loves romance, nearly all her books are about love!"

"So what? You're like… her knight? You're always there to protect her!"

"Pftt… like she needs protecting now, she probably has triple the amount of magical energy Master Makarov has!"

"You can be sweet sometimes… you uprooted a rainbow sakura tree for her!"

"Wah? How did you know about that?"

"Besides, Lucy would love you for who you are! She doesn't need romance!"

"… why are you guys so keen on getting me and Lucy together?"

"Cuz' you guys are such a CUTE COUPLE!"

"…"

"Do you want to lose to Gray, Natsu? Cuz he's already ahead of you."

"That guys got it easy! He knew Juvia liked him! She friggin' STALKS him!"

"That's not the point. Don't you want to confess, Natsu?"

"… fine."

"YAY!"

Natsu sighed as he watched the trio cheer and clap. His face was now beet red, and he tried to cover it by lifting his scarf up slightly. He glanced over to where Lucy was standing. If he confessed, and she didn't like him back, then they won't be partners anymore. She'd probably avoid him, go to another team, and he didn't want that. He forced his attention back to the still celebrating girls.

"How am I going to do it?"

They paused for a second. "Hmm… good question…"

With Lucy…

Lucy watched Natsu head over to Mira, Levy and Lisanna. "Juvia is glad that her love rival has found her man." she looked over to see Juvia smiling gently at her. Gray was standing beside the blushing water mage, arm draped around her waist. Lucy gave them a curious look. "What do you mean?" Gray smirked slightly, "I don't know what you see in that flame-brain, but congrats." They watched Lucy's amusing reaction. First, it was shock, and then anger (Gray edged away slightly, not wanting to experience another Lucy Kick), and finally, the girl turned into a rather interesting shade of red. "What? W-w-what do you m-mean? I d-don't like N-n-natsu!"

The two mages' grin only widened as they watched the girl stutter and try to deny her obvious feelings. "Like I said, Lucy. You can't lie very well." Next minute, Gray was flat on the ground, with a boot(Lucy's) on his head. Juvia shrieked in horror and tried to save her Gray-sama's beautiful face. The embarrassed girl then turned around, and raced out of the guild, still as red as a tomato.

And then…

Master Makarov stood on the second floor of the guild, Mavis next to him, watching the celestial mage run out of the guild. "What do you think we should do? I've never heard of having two Magical Limiters at the same time." Makarov said seriously, his eyes not looking away from where the girl was a few minutes ago. Mavis appeared as if she was in deep thought. "Perhaps… we should enter her in the Grand Magic Games? We can test her potential, and see more of her magical energy. It's in two weeks after all." The Master nodded in agreement. "Yes, we'll do that."
