Before we start- little shout out to Eagleblade for helping me with Day 2's event. 3


"Wow, for such a small girl, she sure runs fast…" Gajeel thought to himself as he hurried along, searching for Levy.

"LEVY! Where'd you go!?" he called, breaking the serene silence of the night. "I didn't mean it you know!" Gajeel tried again.

As Gajeel turned the corner, he suddenly heard the sound of sniffling and smelled Levy's scent in the air. As he walked closer, he was able to identify Levy's small form crouched up in a ball against one of the park's trees. Her face was buried in in her arms her chest heaved from her crying. Looking at her, Gajeel felt horrible for what he had done, not knowing it would affect her this way.

Softly he called out, "Levy," to warn her of his presence.

Levy jerked up at the sound of his voice and almost decided to keep running but she knew he would catch up in a second now. Instead, she turned her head and muttered, "Go away Gajeel," in a sad voice.

Gajeel almost laughed when she said that, because she knew as well as he did, there was no chance of that happening. But seeing the tears on her face squashed his laughter and he slowly walked towards her. "Levy, Levy, come on, please stop crying." There was no answer from Levy, only more sniffling. At a loss for what to do, Gajeel crouched down awkwardly in front of Levy and tried apologizing again, "Levy, you know I didn't mean what I said, right?"

From somewhere inside her arms, Levy hiccupped and her muffled voice asked, "Then why'd you say it? Hasn't anyone ever taught to only say what you mean?"

Gajeel scratched his head sheepishly and answered, "Well, words are you're thing Shrimp and accidents happen, right?"

Levy's head came up from within' her arms and she glared at Gajeel. "Yeah, accidents happen so what if I happen to just accidently move my leg and kick you?" With that, she kicked Gajeel with all her might, square in the chest, sending him toppling backwards.

As Gajeel lay on the ground, his face picturing his shock, Levy resisted the urge to giggle at the sight. It really was hilarious, but if she laughed, he would think she had forgiven him, which she certainly had not. Just as her will was about to give out, Gajeel started laughing. This being the last thing Levy expected, on impulse she spluttered, "What are you laughing at!?"

Gajeel pushed himself up again and replied with a grin, "I never I'd ever be knocked-down by the shrimp!"

Offended, Levy countered indignantly, "Excuse me, but I have knocked you down before! On Tenroujima, I hit you right before we got attacked by those two from Grimore Heart!"

Gajeel huffed, "That doesn't count, you had a purse as a weapon."

Levy crossed her arms, thinking there must be some other time she had managed to hit Gajeel, but drawing a blank, decided on another course of action. If there weren't any memories of times she'd managed to make Gajeel fall, she'd just make some.

She smiled slyly and Gajeel, sensing something was up, prepared himself. Levy lashed out again with her foot, trying to kick down but he didn't move an inch. In fact, he just laughed at Levy's attempts. Levy glared at Gajeel and spluttered, "What are you made of? Iron? Oh wait…" At this point Gajeel was in hysterics and Levy decided on a last ditch attempt. Launching herself at Gajeel she used all her weight to topple him over. Triumphant, she sat on his chest and laughed, "Ha! Two points for me!" Realizing she was sitting on him, she quickly stood up, a blush creeping onto her face.

Gajeel stood up too, pleased that the Shrimp had forgiven him (or forgotten), but also disappointed that she had gotten him twice. Twice in the same night! This was unacceptable! Suddenly, he had an idea. He picked her from her waist and held her above his head.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GAJEEL?!" Levy shrieked.

"GIHI, PAYBACK!" Gajeel replied laughing.

"LET ME DOWN!"


"WELCOME TO THE SECOND DAY OF THE GRAND COUPLES GAMES!" Rosalind announced through her microphone. "Standing next to me are the six couples from Fairy Tail we all came to see! Give it up for teams NaLu, GrUvia, MirAxus, JeRza, GaLe, and ElfGreen!" After the roar of applause that followed Rosalind's words, she continued. "For those of you who weren't present at yesterday's event, the scores are as follows! Currently, Teams JeRza and MirAxus are tied at first, with ten points each! At second place is Team Gruvia with 6 points. Following close behind, Teams Nalu and Elfgreen both have 4 points and currently at the bottom, is Team GaLe with zero points. All that is bound to change though, as it is time for our second event! Would you care to explain Princess?"

"I'd love to!" Ashley answered, who was standing on the other side of the mages, mirroring Rosalind. In a burst of magic, six seats and a screen appeared in front of the mages and a huge screen popped up behind them. The mages stared quizzically at Rosalind and the Princess but they received no answers.

"Ok! Today's event… drumroll please… is a Trivia game!" Ashley announced proudly. "Each mage will be asked questions about their lover and whichever couple ends up answering the most questions right wins! There will be five rounds of the game for each gender and we'll switch off after each round. The way today's point system works is, for each question answered right, the couple will get a point, for a total of ten points possible. Each round, the questions will become harder, so prepare yourselves! The game is quite simple, and it'll become clearer as we go on." Ashley took a breath as walked up to the six seats. "As you know, the girls and the guys will be alternating in question answering. Rosy, who do you want to go first? Girls or guys?"

Rosalind smiled mischievously and answered, "How about we see how much these fellows know about their girls? Who's with me!?" The cheers were deafening and so with a smile Ashley gestured for the boys to take a seat.

"On the screen in front of you guys, the questions will appear. Rosalind will read them aloud to you and from then on, you have thirty seconds to answer. The girls will be standing next to Rosalind by the screen and they are not to help you answer the questions. The screen behind you guys will keep track of the score… and that's pretty much all you need to know!" Ashley explained to the guys.

"Is everyone ready!?" Rosalind asked the crowd. The cheers said yes and so with that, the second event began.

"Our first question of the day is for Mr. Dragneel. What color are Lucy's eyes?"

"Lucy's eyes…" Natsu stammered. He knew this one! Uh… "Brown!" he yelled.

"You are correct Natsu, that's one point for you and Lucy!" Rosalind answered. Behind the boys, the zero next to TEAM NALU became a one. Lucy sighed in relief, she had been worried for a second.

"Mr. Fullbuster, what type of magic does Juvia use?"

"Water magic…?" Gray answered warily, thinking this had to be a trick question since it was so easy.

"Correct!"

"Mr. Dreyar, Mirajane's two siblings are …"

"Elfman and Lisanna," Laxus answered without batting an eye.

Rosalind nodded to signify that he was correct and continued, "Mr. Fernandes, what is the color of Erza's hair?"

Jellal almost laughed, thinking that the only question that could possibly be easier than this one was 'What's is Erza's name?'. "Scarlet," he answered quickly, remembering there was a time limit.

Another nod from Rosalind and then the next question, "Mr. Redfox, what is the name of Levy's team?"

"Shadow Gear," Gajeel grunted.

"Correct, and Mr. Strauss, What is Evergreen's nickname?"

"Ever," Elfman answered happily, relieved that he knew the answer. In front of him, Evergreen groaned, hoping that not everyone would begin to call her that.

The first round was incredibly easy, and everyone, including the girls, got their questions right. The level of difficulty rose fast though and by the third level, most people were getting their questions wrong.

"What is Natsu's signature move?"

Signature move…? Lucy didn't even know he had one. Oh well, might as well guess. "Fire Dragon's Roar?"

"Sorry Lucy… the answer was Fire Dragon's Iron Fist! Juvia, what year was Gray born?"

"Year X766," Juvia answered, proud that she knew so much about her beloved Gray-sama.

"Correct! Miss. Strauss, right before the Grand Magic Games, where did Laxus go to train?"

Mira was stumped, she'd never bothered to ask were the Thunder God Tribe had went those three months. She thought it was in the mountains somewhere but couldn't put her finger on it. Just as she was about to take a guess, the thirty seconds were up and Rosalind asked the next question.

"Miss. Scarlet, Jellal clothes are designed to not deteriorate during which one of his spells?"

Erza thought about it and although she didn't recall ever hearing about from Jellal, her reasoning led her to believe the right answer was Meteor. She was just about to say so, when the timer went off.

"Time's up, the answer was Meteor!" Rosalind said. Erza felt like slapping herself. "Next question is for Levy! What was Gajeel known as when he fought in Phantom Lord?"

Levy couldn't help but shudder a little as she remembered Gajeel's old days in Phantom Lord. But looking at the present Gajeel reminded her how much he had changed and how much he meant to her now. She even blushed a little as she thought of yesterday night's events. Confidently, she answered, "Kurogane, Black Steel Gajeel" without the slightest bit of fear. She even smiled while she said it. Although Gajeel didn't show any trace of it, he was inwardly wincing at this question.

"Correct, and our final question this round is for Evergreen! On the special Weekly Sorcerer addition back from the grand Magic Games, what did Elfman get five out of five for?"

Evergreen closed her eyes and tried to remember the magazine. She had read it, but this detail was way too hard to remember. "Uh, offense?" she guessed wildly (well actually, she told herself that it was the only possible choice since Elfman sucked at everything else, unless you counted 'being a man').

"Correct!" Rosalind concluded.

By the fifth (and last) round, the questions were so hard that most of them were unanswerable even by those whom the questions were about.

"Natsu, on what day did Lucy join Fairy Tail?"

"On what day!? Who remembers that stuff!?" Natsu asked, bewildered.

"Gray, for how long did Juvia stay in Phantom Lord?"

"Who cares?" Gray thought.

"Laxus, what is Mira's favorite food?"

Laxus admitted this wasn't as hard as the other ones, but still, how was he supposed to know?

"Jellal, how many suits of armor does Erza have?"

Jellal knew he had no chance and just guessed 200, which of course, was off. After the answer was given by Rosalind, Erza spent the next five minutes trying to count her armor.

"Gajeel, how many books does Levy own?"

"Ten million," Gajeel answered sarcastically (although, he wouldn't be surprised if she actually DID have that many). Levy rolled her eyes, it was impossible to have that many. She'd be broke and then have nowhere to put the books annyways, thus having to give them up. The most she could possibly own was like 20,000…

"Elfman, how many people have Evergreen petrified using her Stone Eyes magic?"

"A lot?" Elfman asked hopelessly.

"Lucy, what is Natsu's blood type?"

"Dragon Blood…" muttered Lucy sarcastically.

"Juvia, what is Gray's Edolas counterparts' full name?"

Juvia was stumped. She had always wanted to know the full name of the Gray who loved her the way she loved him, but she hadn't been able to see Edolas for herself and no one who was able to move remembered. Juvia pouted and reassured herself that there couldn't possibly be anything else she didn't know about her Gray-sama.

"Mira, what's Laxus' favorite type of music?"

"Opera?" Mirajane guessed innocently. Laxus' face showed his dismay that anyone could think his favorite type of music was OPERA. Opera was HORRIFYING.

"Erza, how many dark guilds did Jellal destroy with Crime Sorciere?"

Erza glanced helplessly at Jellal, who in turned gave her a I-have-no-clue look of horror.

"Levy, How many songs has Gajeel written?"

Levy just shook her head. She didn't know and honestly, she didn't really want to.

"Evergreen, how many times has Elfman yelled 'man' in the past week?"

"Way too many for his own good," Evergreen answered whilst glaring dangerously at Elfman.

Rosalind laughed as Elfman shrank a little. "Well, that concludes the second event of the Grand Couples Games! With a tie for first place are Teams Gruvia and Gale with 6 points each, Teams Nalu, Jerza, and Elfgreen tied for second with 5 points each, and coming in close behind is Team Miraxus, with 4 points."

Turning towards the mages, Rosalind asked without her microphone, "That was fun! Who's ready to go back to the castle and rest!?"

All the mages nodded eagerly and as they were leaving, someone muttered, "Personally, I liked the fighting much better. Being paired like this so obviously feels so… weird."


TA DA! A kinda late Chapter that barely makes sense! It'll get better, I hope.

Anyways, I'M STILL COLLECTING EVENT IDEAS! PLEASE SEND ME SOME! ^.^ LET US SHIPPERS COME TOGETHER AND THINK OF WAYS TO TORTURE OUR BELOVED CHARECTERS. XD
