Lonergoddess: STILORU CONFIRMED IN THIS SHORT CHAPPY! Yayy~ So I didn't exactly write much in this chapter, although I wanted to. I've got a lot of stuff to do that's holding me back, but I hope you guys are still satisfied with this! :) Oh, and I noticed that I forgot to put in the 'previously' section but ya know what. I've become lazy. I mean, who even reads the previously section? *nervously averts eyes* Right?

Lonergoddess does NOT own Fairy Tail

After Orga's horrid performance, most of the people started cleaning up the mess they made, Minerva's order, of course. There were wooden tables crashed everywhere, along with broken chairs and shattered glass. Pizza hung everywhere, and one even managed to stay on the crystal chandelier.

"Alright! Training time!" Sting announced excitedly, and punching a fist in the air.

"Training? Shouldn't you help clean up the mess YOU made?" Minerva said incredulously, her hands resting on her hips.

"A-ah gomen, Minerva, but I requested Sting and Rogue train me." Lucy apologized.

The territory mage stared at Lucy, quite surprised that she was one; defending the annoying dragon slayer, and two; asked to train with specifically them.

"Yes, she requires a lot of practice." Rogue added.

"And why is that?" Minerva questioned, quite curious about what the celestial mage was hiding.

"W-well..." Lucy trailed off, and whispered in her ear.

Minerva's eyes widened, and a grin grew on her face.

"Heheh. So it looks like we have a temporary member here, stronger than both of you!"

This annoyed Sting a bit, while Rogue didn't react.

"Considering we're training her, I'd say we're the stronger dragon slayers!"

"Yeah! Sting-kun is the best!" Lector said.

"Fro thinks Rogue is the best too!" Frosch added with a sweet smile, in which Rogue returned with an equally kind smile.

"I guess I'll let you two off the hook... But remember. Lucy-chan's mine." Minerva gave the duo dragon slayers a possessive glare, and hugged Lucy from behind her.

Sting and Rogue sweat dropped at the completely different Minerva.

"Thanks Minerva!"

Lucy seemed to be quite happy to have made a new female friend, and the team walked outside Sabertooth and to their practice battle field.

Lector and Frosch hurriedly flew and helped open the door, to reveal a large space of dry land. Further off, was the Crocus forest, mysterious and many could get easily lost in. There was a corner of supplies, filled with practice dummies, swords, shields, whips, magical guns, you name it!

"Wow!" Lucy gasped. The practice field was quite amazing, and even larger than Fairy Tail's.

"Yup. This is where Rogue and I practice!" Sting said proudly.

"Lector and Fro likes to sit over there and watch them!" the green exceed informed, pointing at a bench that was beside the many battle tools. And with that, the two cats flew there and sat down.

"Shall we start, Lucy?" Rogue asked politely, and even gave a small smile. Lucy didn't notice it before, but he has dimples! Her heart skipped a beat, and she had to fight the urge to melt down at the spot.

"W-well, I need to first make a contract with Libra and Pisces. Please give me a moment." Lucy stammered, and fiddled her key ring around until she found the two gold keys.

"Oh man! What's a celestial spirit contract like? Is there something like blood vows? Man that'd be scary." Sting rambled, imagining what it'd look like and shuddering in horror.

Lucy laughed loudly at Sting's sudden childish curiosity, "No silly Sting! It's very simple."

"Only an idiot like you would think that. I swear, Sting, you've watched too many horror movies." Rogue shook his head at how stupid his partner could be.

"Hey! Not my fault I got a big imagination. Like you know how a celestial contract goes."

Lucy sighed and held the two golden keys.

"Open! The gate of Libra and Pisces!"

The two spirits soon appeared in a shimmering golden flash. Pisces appeared, in human battle form, while Libra still looked the same.

"Hello, Lucy-sama" Libra greeted, and bowed in respect.

"Hey! Mama!" the son of Pisces acknowledged.

"We meet again." the mother of Pisces greeted.

Lucy gave her two new spirits her brightest, most welcoming smile, effectively making the duo Dragon slayers blush without even really realizing it at first.

"Hello Libra, Pisces! You may just call me Lucy, or hime, as my other spirits had addressed me. I'm... very sorry about Yukino. And I promise upon my mother and father's grave that I will treat you with the utmost respect and kindness. If you would like to go to another celestial mage, I am perfectly fine with it.

Libra and Pisces nodded, "Yukino trusted you to take care of us. Her loss has brought grief to us, but for her, we will and must continue on and try our best, hime." Libra replied.

Lucy nodded, "Well then. Please tell me... will you guys be free on monday?" she asked, and Sting fell, anime style, as he saw her suddenly take out her pen and calendar.

"Such a boring way to seal a contract." Sting muttered, as Lucy finally finished planning.

"Alright!" Lucy beamed cheerfully, "I look forward to being your friend!"

Shock appeared on the celestial spirit's face, though it soon disappeared with a warm smile from them. That, was why Yukino trusted Lucy. Not for the sake of completing the 12 zodiac keys but because her love for celestial spirits is deep.

Pisces and Libra soon faded away, going back to their own world.

"Fairy-san is really nice!"

Lucy blushed at the compliment. "Well, I suppose so. My mama always taught me to treat spirits as friends, not tools!"

"Your mother must be very kind." Rogue remarked, in which Lucy's face softened a little.

"OKAY! Now that's out of the way, I want you to run 20 laps around Sabertooth! And if you aren't done in 30 minutes, I'll add another lap!" Sting barked, his inner evilness showing.

"E-eh!? B-but..." Lucy began to protest. She definitely didn't want to run so many laps. Her thighs were already sore, thinking about the rigorous exercise.

"And... BEGIN!"

Sting already had a timer in one hand, alarming the female mage.

"A-aye!"

Lucy started jogging, her keys tinkling as she bounced up and down.

"I must become stronger. I must become stronger." Lucy repeated her mantra in her head, motivating herself.

Once Lucy was out of sight, Rogue spoke,

"You like Lucy don't you?"

This, didn't catch the light dragon slayer off guard. They were brothers after all. Not literally, but they've known each other ever since they were small, when their dragon's perished.

"Yeah. Blondie's pretty interesting. Interesting enough to get your attention too."

Sting looked up at the clear blue sky, and the drifting white clouds. Lucy is truly one of a kind, and he had to admit that the Fairy had a huge influence on him, and everyone surrounding her. He wanted her.

Rogue, hearing Sting's reply, could only give a ghost of a smile to himself, knowing he couldn't hide his infatuation of Lucy from the blonde male. There were many emotions he could hide, however this was one that he could not.

"Let's make a bet."

Rogue raised an eyebrow in confusion. Sting never betted with Rogue. They always worked together, even though their personalities may seem to clash. Things really are getting more and more interesting.

"Let's see who get's Lucy first."

Sting had a prideful smirk on his face, while Rogue returned a playful smirk of his own. The shadow dragon rarely showed emotions to anyone, excluding Frosch. However, in this situation, he took off his cool and calm mask.

"Sure. I'm already winning, anyways." Rogue replied smoothly. Truth be told, he wasn't quite sure. He had doubts of his own, but he knew that this bet was one he cannot lose to.

"Heh, sure. What I want, I always get." Sting retorted, being the playboy himself. Of course then again, he often flirted to simply his fan girls and other flirty girls. Lucy wasn't that kind of girl, and that was what first caught his interest.

Both of them glared at each other for what seemed like eternity, not moving an inch. The tension grew, everything got oddly quiet. Lector and Frosch didn't notice it at all, both of them busily chatting and eating their delicious fish in the side.

"I... I'm d-done..." Lucy panted, her cheeks flushed red. She was bending over, trying to catch her breath and pray to Mavis that she wouldn't end up falling over.

"About time Blondie! Another second and that would've been another lap!" Sting said, an immediate change of mood from before.

"Water?" Rogue offered, holding out a bottle of the aqua.

"Oh! Thank you Rogue!"

Lucy soon chugged down the water gratefully, not noticing the side glare from Sting to Rogue, in which the shadow mage simply smirked.

"Now now, our warm-up isn't over! You got 10 push up, 10 sit ups, and 20 jumping jacks! Of course throughout our training, I'll be adding the number."

Lucy groaned, and got to the push up position, "I swear to god, you are trying to kill me, Stingy bee!"

"No no, I'm helping you out, so you can't call me Stingy bee. How about you call me... Master?" Sting suggested smugly.

Normally, the Fairy Tail mage would argue with him, but given the circumstances and how tired she was, she simply gave in.

"Yes, Master..." she answered glumly.

"Hehe, much better!"

Rogue sweat dropped at how evil his partner was. Almost as evil as Minerva!

After the long and painful warm-up, Lucy finally stretched and took a small break.

"So, how are you guys gonna help train me?" she asked curiously.

"Well... As a dragon slayer, it's only customary that you offer a blood sacrifice to the dragon god, Acnologia, so that your dragon powers don't go haywire and kill yourself." Lector explained, much to the other's dismay.

Lucy shivered in fear at Lector's words,

"B-blood s-sacrifice?" she stuttered, imaging the large black and blue dragon, furiously attacking her.

"Eep!" she yelped, accidentally initiating her shadow form, and once again, kicked back out to her solid form.

"Oy Blondie, Lector was just kidding." Sting said apologetically, seeing that she was quite scared.

"O-oh.." Lucy could only mutter out, and then turned angry,

"Lector..." she growled, glaring daggers at the exceed, threatening to enter Dragon Force.

"W-well would you look at the time! Hey Frosch let's go fish hunting!" Lector hurriedly said, and flew off, dragging Frosch with him.

"Uhm, Lucy?"

"Yes?"

Sting gulped in uneasiness at the Fairy's sudden mood change.

"We're gonna start with training your punches and kicks. Rogue and I will show you how we normally do it, though you should also develop your own fighting style. Natsu-san and Gajeel noticed how we normally battle, and that put us at a huge disadvantage." Sting said.

"Oh! Fighting style huh... Well I suppose having celestial spirits fight alongside always helps. That's how I defeated Future... Rogue." Lucy awkwardly ended the sentence.

"Don't worry Lucy. That other me was from a different timeline. I am not him." Rogue said.

"Y-yeah, I suppose. It's a shame I didn't watch Natsu's fight with you guys. I heard Gajeel got pushed away!" Lucy changed the subject, and gave a sweet-sounding laugh.

Sting and Rogue could only face palm, remembering their 'idols' ridiculous quarrel at the GMG competition.

~Back at Fairy Tail~

"ACHOO!" Natsu and Gajeel sneezed at the same time, quite loudly.

"Bless you!" Lisanna said.

"Hey! Don't copy me!" Natsu cried out.

"Hmph, you're the one copying ME!" Gajeel replied.

The two began glaring at each other, and soon started another fight in Fairy Tail.

"I didn't know one could copy another's 'sneeze'..." Gray muttered, sighing as the two fought at each other, soon effectively pulling the ice make mage into their battle.

Lonergoddess: BOOM! And the bet begins! Ya know, I'm actually kinda shocked that Rolu just beat Stiluro! I mean I swear to god I counted correctly (actually I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong) But as stated before, I'll be counting EVERY SINGLE SHIP mentioned in the review section. Even if you repeat it, I will count it. Now I just need to know if this'll end in Rolu, Sticy, none, or both? Don't worry though, I'm not close to finishing this.

Which ship do you vote for?

Sticy/Stilu (Sting x Lucy) Vote: 7

Rolu (Rogue x Lucy) Vote: 18

Stiluro (Sting x Lucy x Rogue) Vote: 16

P.S~ For those who have read 'A Forest Meeting' you'd recognize Crocus Forest! ^^ For those that don't know it, it's my one-shot Sticy fanfic
